WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY JAN. 27, 1883 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. We offer the Gazette in combination with the American Agricultural for $2 a year (cash in advance), which includes postage on both. In addition, we will send free to every person who takes both papers, a magnificent Plate, Engraving of Dupre's last great painting, "IN THE MEADOW," now on exhibition in New York, and offered for sale at $5000. The eminent Artist, F. S. Church, writing to a friend in the country last October, thus alludes to this picture: "I was delighted this morning to see offered as a premium a reproduction of a very beautiful picture. 'In The Meadow,' by Dupre. This picture is an educator." This superb engraving (17) by 12 inches, exclusive of wide border is worth more than the cost of both Journals. It is mounted on heavy plate paper, and sent securely packed in tubes made expressly for the purpose. When to be mailed, 10 cents extra is required for packing, postage etc. It really appears as if the time for taking another census will arrive before the results of the one taken in 1880 will be made public. Congress is asked for another $100,000 "to complete the Tenth census." It has already cost $5,503,641 about $2,500,000 more than the limit fixed by the act authorizing the taking of the census. This is more than 10 cents for every man, woman and child in the United States. The Milwaukee Telegraph of January 7th contained the following advertisement: THE IRRIGATION PROBLEM. It is not likely that the Legislature now in session will take action on any of the irrigation bills which have been introduced. So much we infer from reading the Sacramento Record Union which says. The irrigation question has not been taken up by the Legislature with that vigor which should have characterized it. It is true, bills have been introduced and referred, but it is plainly evident that the members are timed as to this, the most important question to come before them. The bill prepared by the ex-Surveyor General presents the issues fairly, but its introduction was met with manifestations that indicate its fate, while Mr. Winarton's bills have not had the friendly reception expected. One fifth of the session has passed, and the general and committee files are already so overcharged with bills, one-half of which are useless, that it is doubtful if the time can be now commanded in which to properly deliberate upon this subject; for the majority appears to be too much engrossed in advancing partisan ends, to early and earnestly take hold upon the leading measure committed to its care. Although we are willing enough to admit that legislation is much needed on this question, we see nothing to regret in the inaction of the present Legislature; for any law which might emanate from that body must almost necessarily be crude and ineffective, if not downright mischievous and fruitful of evil results. It must be remembered that although in Southern California the irrigation problem is paramount, in the Northern counties it cuts no figure; and as, the people there are not interested in the matter, they do not study and discuss its various phases. The delegates from those counties therefore are not only ignorant of the question but quite indifferent, and are as apt to vote for a bad irrigation law as for a good one. Take for instance the "infloential" San Francisco delegation. A fine crowd, indeed, to legislate upon irrigation! They are as well versed in the intricacies of the subject as Gilhooley's colt was on the subject of astronomy. But the danger of bad legislation upon irrigation comes not alone from those ignorant It really appears as if the time for taking another census will arrive before the results of the one taken in 1850 will be made public. Congress is asked for another $100,000 "to complete the Tenth census." It has already cost $5,793,641 about $2,500,000 more than the limit fixed by the act authorizing the taking of the census. This is more than 10 cents for every man, woman and child in the United States. The Milwaukee Teleograph of January 7th contained the following advertisement: NEWHALL HOUSE. MILWUCKEN WIS. J. ANTESDILL & SOON PROPRIETORS GREAT REDUCTION IN RATES Rooms and board, $2,250 per day Rates & Dues's current fire insurance provides means of exit from every floor in case of emergency. The hotel employees are kept in training as a fire department and, ever since is supplied with water and hose. On January 10th the hotel was burned, and among the inmates burned to death were a large portion of the "trained" employees. Representative Head of Los Angeles county is not the only pledge breaker in the Assembly. He has a congenial companion in the person of Mr. Routier, the Assemblyman from Sacramento. Mr. Routier was endorsed by the Prohibition Party and by the Good Templars on the strength of a specific pledge taken by him that he would vote against the repeal of the Sunday law. He was the Republican nominee, and had of course subscribed to the platform of his party, and the additional pledge required of him by the two organizations satisfied the extremists. He was elected by a majority of thirty five votes, and it is evident that without the endorsement and support of the side shows referred to he would have been defeated. He has ignored his pledges and voted for the repeal of the Sunday law. He is being rightly taken to task therefor, and the indignation of his constituents is finding vent in resolutions of conscience. Verily, the way of the pledge breaker is hard. It appears that an effort will be made to secure the passage of a law by the Legislature authorizing Insurance Companies to furnish bonds for officials and others. The Gazette has more than once advocated such a plan. The Sacramento correspondent of the Chronicle thus refers to the matter. G. W. Grannis, representing the Fidelity and Casualty Insurance Company of New York, appeared before the Committee to argue in favor of McClure's bill No. 94, to facilitate the giving of bonds required by law. The real object of the bill is to establish a law by which this insurance company can transact the novel business of insuring bank clerks, public officials or any person holding a position where bonds are required. The person requiring bonds pays the company a premium, and is furnished with the money value of bonds required. The question of the power such a company would have over public officials was discussed; also, the liability of the company without assets there are not interested in the matter, they do not study and discuss its various phases. The delegates from those counties therefore are not only ignorant, of the question but quite indifferent, and are as apt to vote for a bad irrigation law as for a good one. Take for instance the "infloential" San Francisco delegation. A fine crowd, indeed, to legislate upon irrigation! They are as well versed in the intricacies of the subject as Gilbooley's colt was on the subject of astronomy. But the danger of bad legislation upon irrigation comes not alone from those ignorant of what is necessary and proper; there is equal peril in giving heed to those who either from self interest or mistaken ideas, have views which they seek to have incorporated into a law which would still further muddle up the already too confused state of the question. Really, the difficulties in the way of securing such legislation as will be most beneficial for the people in the irrigating counties are so numerous that we almost despair of seeing the question settled in our day. Weighty Reasons. Abbott Kinney of San Gabriel, and I.W. Hellman of Los Angeles, have forwarded the following letter to Senator Del Valle: DEAR SENATOR: In answer to your note we would say that our section of the county is very much opposed to any division as contemplated in the bill setting up the County of Orange. Even in the Southern portion of Los Angeles, and in the very parts proposing to secede, there appears to be more opposition than favor towards this office seeker's scheme. First It would diminish the prestige of the county, now scarcely second to that of any in the State. Second It would diminish the resources of both sections. Public works would have to be doubled, and in that much divided and lessened in efficiency. Third It would increase the taxation in all parts of the county, and especially in that portion proposed to be set apart from the rest. Fourth It would be unjust to the section of the country lying north of Coyote creek, insinuas as it would throw on that portion the entire burden of maintaining the desert and mountain districts beyond Newhall. The advantages to be derived from the division of this splendid county into insignificant fractions seem to be in fact that a few stirring politicians may thereby secure place. There are, however, other and perhaps cheaper ways for providing for these gentlemen without ruining the budding glories of the angel county. You may rest assured that a strong majority of the citizens here are opposed to division. The Railroad Commission. SAN FRANCISCO Jan. 33d. The Railroad Commissioners met today to consider Foote's York, appeared before the Committee to argue in favor of McClure's bill No. 24, to facilitate the giving of bonds required by law. The real object of the bill is to establish a law by which this insurance company can transact the novel business of insuring bank clerks, public officials or any person holding a position where bonds are required. The person requiring bonds pays the company a premium, and is furnished with the money value of bonds required. The question of the power such a company would have over public officials was discussed; also, the liability of the company without assets in the State. The bill was postponed for a further hearing. As all the facts in the late Gubernatorial election in New York become known, it is plainly apparent that the phenomenal majority given to Gov. Cleveland was almost solely due to the determination of the people to rebuke the disreputable gang which nominated and controlled his opponent, and that Cleveland's standing or abilities had nothing whatever to do with his success. He was the favorite of fortune. It is not the first instance where a man of very mediocre talent has been foisted into prominence by a happy combination of favoring circumstances. A Boston paper having spoken of Cleveland as the probable Democratic candidate for President in 1884, the New York Sun makes the following comments under the caption of "nonsense run wild:" We suggest that while Mr. Cleveland's friends are engaged in doing their level best under the necessity of apologizing for the defects and crudities of his mangural message, the prospect of his becoming the candidate of the Democracy for President in 1884 cannot be regarded as very brilliant. It is an interesting circumstance that Mr. Cleveland was made the leader of the New York Democracy last year by a Half Breed Republican newspaper in Buffalo, which had become disgusted and enraged with its own party, and desired to do all the mischief it could. There was not a Democratic journal in the State which urged the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. No branch of the Democracy called for him. No intelligent Democrat was anxious to stake everything upon the fortunes of an untried and unknown man. But circumstances favored the Half Breed speculation, and Mr. Cleveland became Governor of New York. The Democratic candidate for President two years hence will not be selected by Half Breed influence, nor will his nomination be based upon the ignorance of the people respecting him. The Railroad Commission. SAN FRANCISCO Jan. 334. The Railroad Commissioners met today to consider Foote's resolution to reduce fares on the Central and Southern Pacific Railroads to a maximum of three cents per mile. Creed Haymond appeared for the railroad companies and read a communication, in which he stated that on some parts of their roads fares were less than three cents a mile, and some even so low as one and one-half cents per mile. He considered the resolution as unconstitutional and as discriminating against the Central and Southern Pacific roads. Foote thought the resolution constitutional, and quoted in support a decision of the United State Supreme Court. In the course of the argument, Mr. Haywood stated that he was authorized to sell the railroad, from here to New Orleans, to the State of California, for less than the railroad was assessed. The Commission then adjourned until next Monday, it being understood that some of the officers from the companies represented by Mr. Haymond would be present to be questioned by the commissioners. MILWAUKEE Jan. 23. A terrible crime was discovered today. The wife of John Zimbrick, a laborer, living on Sixth street, killed her three children, the oldest seven years and the youngest eighteen months, in a most brutal manner, literally cutting them to pieces and completely disemboweling them. A neighbor's attention was attracted to the scene by the woman's attempt to hang herself in the outhouse. He cut her down and took her inside, when the horrible spectacle was discovered. Mrs. Zimbrick was at once arrested. She took her arrest very calmly, stating that she read in the good book that she must sacrifice her children. The woman is doubtless suffering from religious insanity. An explosion at the Risdon Iron Works on Wednesday killed two laborers. Further of the Railroad Disaster. After the burnt remains had been gathered up and taken to Los Angeles in boxes, a phylogenetic discovered that the contents of some of the boxes were not human remains. They were beef bones, some beef being in the express car when the disaster happened. The number of killed is thus reduced to fourteen. The evidence given before the Coroner’s jury was to the effect that after the train reached the Summit, the conductor went into the office for his orders, one brakeman went to assist at the turn-table and the other brakeman left his post to escort a young lady from the cars to the station. The latter claims that the brakes were set, and an effort is being made to show that the tramps who were killed loosened the brakes either through malice or mischief. The Coroner’s jury rendered a verdict that the disaster was caused by the negligence of conductor B. F. Reid and brakeman John Patton. A doubt having arisen as to the identity of the remains supposed to be those of Mrs. Downey, various inquiries were instituted which resulted in establishing the fact that the remains were those of Mrs. Cassell. The doubt was created by the appearance of the teeth of the corpse. The dentist of Mrs. Cassell in San Francisco was at once telegrammed to and a detailed description of her teeth was received which, when compared with that of the dead woman, corresponded in every particular. Every filing and peculiarity of the mouth were found in the corpse which had been described by Mrs. Cassell’s dentist. The remains of Mrs. Cassell were sent North and those of Mrs. Downey were returned to Los Angeles, they having been taken to Oakland under the supposition that they were the remains of Mrs. Cassell. Capt. Waterhouse, who was so severely injured, died on Saturday at the Sister’s Infirmary in Los Angeles. Gromfort, one of the killed trumps, was buried in Los Angeles. The remains of Keegan, the other supposed trump, were sent to his residence in Ohio. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. Mrs. Rourke, who was shot by her husband at St. Helena last week, died of her wounds. The town of Susanville was destroyed by fire on Sunday for the second time. Dolores Vasques, of San Buenaventura, fooled with her brother’s pistol. Her funeral took place on Monday. The Giant Powder Works near West Berkeley, Alameda County, was blown up on Sunday by explosion of the powder. Thirty Chinamen and two white men were killed. A 17-year old Italian boy shot and killed a fellow-countryman at Auburn, Placer county on Sunday. Robbery was the motive. The murderer was arrested. The trial of H. H. Haas for arson, in attempting to fire the town of Guerneville some two months ago, resulted in a hung jury—standing 11 for conviction and 1 for acquittal. A bill allowing the indiscriminate slaughter of ducks, geese and quail has been read a second time in the Assembly and will doubtless pass. The farming delegates are for it. In San Francisco on Tuesday, Thomas Fitzgerald died from the effects of a blow on the head with a boot-stretcher, given by Solomon Layman. The latter has been arrested. Tuesday, the 25th instant, was the one hundred and twenty-second anniversary of the birth of Robert Barns, the Scotch poet. The event was celebrated by the various Scotch clubs. Under an ordinance of the town of Livermore the names of habitual drinkers are posted in every saloon in town, accompanied by a prohibition of the sale of liquor to them. Several arrests have been made recently for the violation of this ordinance. At San Bernardino on Monday morning a stranger entered the house of L. Klye and demanded money. Klye told him he owed NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT NORTH ANAHEIM CANAL COMPANY Location of Principal place of Business, Anaheim Los Angeles County, California.

SAN FRANCISCO jan27-3m Attempted Train Robbery. SAN FRANCISCO. January 22l. About 4 o'clock this morning from eight to twelve mounted and masked men role up to Montello station, 165 miles west of Ogden, seized two white and half a dozen Chinese section men, robbed them of what valuables they had on their persons, and locked them up in tank house. They then awaited the arrival of the east-bound express train, which came in soon after. Two of the highway men jumped on the engine, overawed the engineer and fireman, and side-tracked the engine. The remainder of the gang first seized the train men and robbed them of what valuables they possessed, confined them also in the tank house, and then attacked the express car. There they were met by a rapid fuselade from A. Y. Ross, the express messenger. The fire was returned briskly, and some thirty shots were exchanged, when the robbers, finding the resistance more spirited than they expected, and probably fearing a demonstration on the part of the passengers, decamped. The passengers were not molested. Ross was wounded in the hand and side by bullets, but not fatally. The passengers praise Ross's courage. Another Runaway Train. Wharton's Assembly bill No. 105, to provide for State appropriation of waters for irrigation, mining, etc., came up on Wednesday on a motto to reconsider the vote whereby the Assembly refused the bill a second reading. Wharton vigorously advocated the measure, and was supported by Granger of Humblet, each of whom took the ground that the waters of the State like the air belonged to the whole people. Farley of Sierra opposed the bill, claiming that the Codes were now sufficiently explicit, and that the proposed bill would create confusion. The motion to reconsider was carried by 32 to 15. The bill was made special order for Tuesday next, at 10:30 o'clock. In the Scandinavian Colony of Fresno county the plan of mutual insurance has been tried with success. The object of their Association says their by laws, is to secure the members against loss in their horses, mules, castle, by sickness or accident. The admission fee is 50 cents. The Association meets once a month, and seven members constitute a quorum. A monthly assessment of one quarter of one per cent is collected on all the assessed stock owned by the members until the full sum of $50 is in the treasury. Upon the loss of any animal insured, the owner receives two-thirds of the value thereof. No horse is valued at over $75, and no cow is valued at over $45. The Association provides no benefits for lost or stolen animals. Another Runaway Train. KEYSER (W. Va.), January 23d.—One of the most terrible and fatal railroad accidents that ever occurred in this part of the country happened on the George's Creek and Cumberland Railroad to day. Three coal trains, consisting of three locomotives, fifty two hoppers and seventeen gondolas, all loaded, started from Cumberland coupled together, one engine in front, another in the middle and one in the rear. In going down one of the steep grades the engines lost control, and the train started down the steep incline at a fearful rate of speed. The train kept the track until it got on to the trestle work, having a reverse curve, when the front engine flew the track, dragging all the sixty-nine cars and locomotives after it, all going rolling and tumbling down a steep hill between eighty and one hundred feet high. Seven dead bodies were found in the wreck, and more are missing. Each train consisted of a conductor, two brakemen, fireman and engineer—in all fifteen—not one of whom can be found alive. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23d.—Senator Arthur Gorman of Maryland presided over the Senate to-day during the temporary absence of Vice-President Davis. The sight of Gorman in the chair as presiding officer moved an old employee of the Senate to say: "That shows what luck and pluck can do. It has not been so many years ago that the same Arthur Gorman was employed as a page in the Senate. Then I ordered him around. To-day he presides in the Senate and orders me around. It all occurred inside of twenty years." WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—When the Senate was called to order yesterday, Butler was the only Senator present. The Vice-President said: "The Senator from South Carolina will come to order." After prayer, Butler moved a call of the Senate. The burning of the cars in the Tehahepi wreck was due to the presence of the heating stoves. This fact has led to a bill being introduced in the Assembly making it unlawful for any person or corporation owning or operating any railroad to use stoves or fire in passenger cars for the purpose of heating them. It provides that they shall furnish steam or other means of heating, and a penalty of from $20,000 to $50,000 is fixed for non-compliance with the provisions of the bill. A new section to the Civil Code has also been introduced, making it the duty of every railroad company to hire a brakeman for each car, who shall remain upon the car while the locomotive is detached for any purpose, and making the corporation liable for all damages. Also a bill making it a misdemeanor for any brakeman to leave a car while the locomotive engine is detached. If loss of life results from such neglect he is guilty of felony. NEW YORK, Jan. 21st.—The discovery in an unclaimed box in the express office of the body of a girl, fair haired, good looking, and about 14 years of age, promises to turn out a sensational metropolis mystery, not unlike the Boston trunk mystery. Some suspicion is entertained that it is the remains of one of two girls who have been missing for some time, but whom the police believed have been carried off to the Continent, whither so many young girls have of late disappeared mysteriously.
