WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...FEB. 24, 1883 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. We offer the Gazette in combination with the American Agriculturist for $3 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 (174 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. There are two county officers who hold office for four years: the Assessor and the School Superintendent. The Constitution fixes the term of the last named official, but the Assessor's term is subject to change by Legislative enactment. And a bill has been introduced in the Assembly to reduce the term of the Assessor from four to two years. Hinton bears this news with an exquisitely and coolness which it is presumed Biblierram does not attempt to imitate. Lumber is now being manufactured from straw, the standard size being thirty-two inches in width, twelve feet in length, and the thickness the same as the average of fresh wood. The Agricultural Show at Paris. Ed. Gazette:—The Exposition of the Industrial Palace has been opened only a month ago. One exhibition follows another; a number of them at different places at the same time. It is well, for competition is sharp in all branches of industries, and the cleverest brains of the universe are constantly in action. Thus constant progress requires constant opportunities to prove to an interested public what results have been reached. That clever results of inventive action should be brought forth in the metropolis of intelligence is presumable. Let us mention a few of those shown there: Mr. Solomon, of Thomery, exhibits viticultural contrivances: rows of vines sustained on galvanized wires, thus changing the traditional cephalus. Mr. Yvert exhibits a system of so-called tuteurs made of iron around which the vine entwines itself. Mr. Pia shows cellar instruments, amongst them an arrangement for filling and corking bottles. It is made of iron, is to be placed on a table for working, the bottler standing or sitting. A lever, easy to work, opens or shuts the aperture of the vessel to be filled from and corks the bottle. Messrs Teissier & Delmas have self acting cocks and keys to the same—both guaranteeing safety and of very ingenious workmanship. One of the faucets exhibited shows the height of the liquid in the cask on a graded tube, similar to the arrangement on steam boilers. Quite a cleverly made and very simple pump is exhibited by Mr. Malleron, an instrument which is distinct from anything called a pump, and still is one. A rubber tube is subjected to successively interrupted pressure through two friction piles, to which a wheel is fixed. It is syphon-like, a development of that tool for transmitting liquids. A double-action pump with piston and fly-wheel fixed on wheels is exhibited, which is of particular use for the vintage, as the arrangement is such that most and press liquid charged with grapeskins and pipes may harmlessly be passed through this pump. This new system is of the manufacture of Mr. Brognet. CRUSHER Terrible Cane New York stairs in the second attached to the Church of the Fourth street avenue, at a distance less than fourteen over 700 school poorer classes years of age, situated in their class room was raised.

The fire fighter through the results to the most trivial mass of sweeping stairs leading LUMBER is now being manufactured from straw, the standard size being thirty-two inches in width, twelve feet in length, and the thickness the same as the average of surfaced boards. One ton of any kind of straw will yield 1,000 feet of boards that may be handled as ordinary ones. This lumber can be produced and sold in competition with wide walnut at about one half the price of the latter. CONGRESS is considering a resolution, offered by Sherman, to provide for an equitable distribution of the surplus money in the United States Treasury. It sets forth that the revenue is greatly in excess of the needs of the country, and declares it expedient to repeal all internal taxes except those on liquors, and directs that all the surplus money in the Treasury, after the redemption of bonds, be divided among the States, to be applied by them to the payment of State debts or for school purposes. THE King of the Hawaiian Islands was crowned last week. But for this coronation an anxious world would never have known the King's full name. It is David, Laamea, Kamanakapun, Landalani, Kalakaua, the King, Generalisimo, Ke Ali Ka-pu, Hoano, Ka wela, Ka moe, Ka Ikuhal-pulliannun, Woli Kuakabil, Hakur ka Poni ana i Mof, Haku o ka Ohiako a me ka Palaoa Pae, Kukufakeawaken, Kama Ali Hanau o Ka Aina. THERE is another land, far, far away which is also misnamed Semi-Tropic. Don't run away with the idea that Southern California is the only place which seeks to allure by the false pretense embossed in the prefix "semi-tropic." A recent letter from De-Land, Florida, draws the following picture of winter in that land of flowers: Frost, ground frozen and ice one third of an inch in thickness on vessels containing water Saturday night. The query goes up from one end of Florida to the other. "Where is that frost line?" Fruit growers here say they do not think orange trees have been injured by the frost; but the young lemon trees are wearing a garo of saffron lustre those that have not dropped their mantel and stand out as nude as the Greek slave, and looking nearly as cold. Many of the growing vegetables such as tomatoes, beans and early Irish potatoes, have succumbed to the icy breath of winter. Cabbage, turnips and radishes are uninjured. One dealer in this little town opened his storeroom on Saturday, and such a rush for stoves and stovepipes was never seen in a semi-tropical region before. His supply of eighty stoves will not last a week, at the rate at which they commenced going off. WIDTH OF COUNTY ROADS. ED. GAZETTE — Is there any State law or County regulation, which provides that roads on section lines shall be 60 feet wide? The County no doubt can make roads wherever needed to connect localities, and this across any man's land, but I do not see why the county should care a straw about section roads. These concern only the immediate landowners, and I have no doubt that most of them consider 60 feet wide a useless waste of land, especially where it is good. Suppose now that the land owners in a district agree to make this section road 40 feet wide—which is sufficient for all purposes—including ditches, is there any one who could object to the arrangement? Please let us know your opinion on the subject. RESPECTFULLY, O. DES GRANGES [Mr. Scott, to whom we submitted this question, replies that if the landowners agree to make the roads forty feet wide, no one can object, unless it is plainly manifest that the needs of public travel requires a wider road. Thus, if a county road should be only forty feet in width, and a petition should be presented to the Board of Supervisors asking that it be widened to sixty feet, it would be incumbent upon the petitioners to show that such widening is necessary for the convenience of the public.

Isaac Jacobus, pastor of the Congregational church in Westminster, died on Saturday morning, February 17th, 1883, after a severe illness lasting about two weeks. He came to California in early days, and although financially successful, he gave up the pursuit of wealth and returned home to pursue a course of study preparatory to the gospel ministry. After graduation he spent fifteen years of pastoral labor in Kansas. Two years after he came to California arriving in June, 1881. The time since has been spent in Westminster. He leaves a wife and five children. Funeral services were held on Sunday, February 18th, in the Congregational church which was filled with a large circle of friends who justly held the deceased pastor in high esteem. The sermon was preached by Rev. F. H. Robinson, pastor of the Presbyterian church. The burial services took place in Los Angeles on Monday. Mrs. Jacobus, who has been seriously ill during most of the illness of her late husband, is slowly recovering notwithstanding the severe trial through which she was called upon to pass. After a long and wasting sickness, which he bore uncomplainingly, the remains of Charles M. Crane were interred in the Anaheim cemetery on Sunday last. So thoroughly was Mr. C. respected by the community in which he lived, that it becomes a duty to place on record some testimony to his worth. As an upright citizen, a welcome neighbor, an honest man, a loving husband and father, a fond, fond brother—for he was all these—he will be sadly missed, and mingling with our deep regrets will arise the fitting quotation: "Behold the end of the just man made perfect." J. W. L. The following paragraph is from the New York Sun. Can it be that the sleepy head alluded to is the distinguished representative from Los Angeles county: A member of the California Legislature was asleep when the vote was began to be taken on an important bill, and half aroused by the call of his name, he gave an inarticulate grunt which the Clerk understood and recorded as "Yes." He slumbered on, and when he finally awoke, the news had gone over the wires to his constituents that he had turned traitor to the cause which he had been elected to champion. At Paris. Crushed to Death. Terrible Calamity in a New York School Building. New York, Feb. 20.—A fire under the stairs in the second floor of the school house attached to the German Roman Catholic Church of the Most Holy Redeemer on Fourth street, between Avenue A and First avenue, at a quarter past 3 this afternoon. Was the scene of a terrible calamity. No less than fourteen children lost their lives. Over 700 scholars, mostly children of the poorer classes, ranging from six to eleven years of age, attended the school and were in their class rooms when the alarm of fire was raised. A fearful panic followed. The removal of the children from the fourth floor began quietly enough, and was progressing rapidly, when a Sister of Charity, in charge of a class of girls, fainted. This immediately alarmed the class; they became panic stricken, and a rush was made for the hallway. On the stairs, already crowded, a deadly crush took place. The railing of the stairs broke and the mass of struggling children were precipitated to the floor below, falling in a packed mass, one upon another and from four to six deep. The police and firemen already summoned had arrived, but their work of rescue was hampered by the frightened children, continuing to fall or leap from the stairway, those in front being crowded over the broken balustrade by the children behind still struggling to reach an exit. Six children were taken out dead from the bottom, and eight more died immediately after rescue, making a total of fourteen. A large number of others who were carried to neighboring tenements, are reported dying. The excitement when the news spread was fearful, and great throngs of people blocked the streets surrounding the school. Many children lost in the excitement are reported missing. Another Account. The fire from which the smoke spread through the building, bringing such terrible results to the innocent pupils, was of the most trivial character. It started among a mass of sweepings in a closet beneath the stairs leading from the second to the third floor. Pacific Coast News. Twelve buildings were burned at Fresno last Saturday. Wm. Lang, who lives in Solano county east of Suisun, is making quite a sum each season killing geese, by trying out the fat and sending it to San Francisco, where he gets 80 cents a pound for it. It is stated that he intends to get a cannon with which to kill the geese this winter. The Reno (Nev.) Gazette tells of a man living down on the meadows somewhere who has upwards of two hundred white rabbits. It is said that the fur, after being colored by a process known only to himself, is sold to dealers in the East under another name at a good price. There may be money in a rabbit ranch. Healdsburg, according to the Cloverdale Reville, has caught the disease. The new disease is called the "county seat fever" and Healdsburgers are offering $50,000 for it. They want to divide the county and make Healdsburg the county seat of the upper end. At Kingsbury, Tulare county, on Tuesday, R. Allison, Deputy Constable, in arresting Gideon Harrow at Welch's Hotel, was resisted by Harrow and his friends. Allison was shot in the mouth. Worth Brown, one of the parties resisting, was shot through the body by the officer. Allison will recover. Brown is mortally wounded. Harrow is in custody. While Mrs. H. McKay, a schoolmistress, was on her way to school about eight miles from Yreka, she was fiercely attacked by an infuriated steer in an open field. Being a lady of great courage and quick perception she saw that her only safety lay in promptly taking the bull by the horns, which she did, and succeeded in warding off the attack until help came. Her escape was wonderful. The latest bill introduced in the Legislature by Senator Cross provides that after married people have lived apart four years, any person on behalf of the State may apply for a divorce; and on it being shown to the Court that the parties have been separated. Distress in Europe. New York, Feb. 18—Rufus Hatch cibles the following to Hugh Hastings from London: "Press dispatches received best from the United States, though measures show the floods in the Ohio Valley to be appaling, but they are local compared with the universal moundation here and on the Continent. Floods in the past have created havoc, destruction and ruin, but the present distress, in its general tenor and widespread nature, is unprecedented. The news from Germany, particularly, is of the most horrible nature. Thousands of people who a few months ago were well-to-do and comparatively independent have been pending upon their neighbors and the public for subsistence for two or three months past. Not even 60 per cent of the city that should have been planted throughout Europe in December has yet been put into ground. I get this information from bankers and Greek merchants, who have extensive correspondence through Great Britain and the Continent. They estimate that the acreage has decreased at least per cent. This means complete dependence upon America, to a greater extent than any time within the past five years. American grain and provision crop of 18 and what she can raise in 1883 can marketed on this side of the Atlantic with greatest ease at full prices. University agricultural distress, united with power of soil and political troubles past and come, will tend to increase emigration America." Washington, Feb. 20. The city is agog concerning a seasional article published in the Washington correspondence to Pittsburgh Dispatch last Sunday, hardly charging an improper lionson between the President and the wife of a high office whose name is not given. A crowd of men besieged the Washington office of the Pittsburgh Dispatch both yesterday and today obtain a view of this article; and at Capitol its subject matter was openly discussed by everybody. The name of ladies appeared to be no secret. In defiance of obvious articles of the article these corrections were made. The fire from which the smoke spread through the building, bringing such terrible results to the innocent pupils, was of the most trivial character. It started among a mass of sweepings in a closet beneath the stairs leading from the second to the third floor, on the east side of the building. It had been smouldering for some time, and eat its way through to the center of the partition wall dividing the hall from the class room in front, and crept up towards the third floor ere it was discovered. At this moment a visitor called at the school to see one of the pupils in the fifth class, which is on the second floor, and the door of which opens almost opposite and within five feet of the closet in which the sweepings were burning. The visitor knocked at the door, which was opened by one of the sisters of Notre Dame, by whom the school is conducted. Scarcely had the door swung back on its hinges when the flames burst out from under the stairs. The sister hastily shut the door, but not until some of the children in her care caught sight of the fire. All efforts to calm them were in vain, and they rushed madly from the classroom. The smoke now rolled out of the closet in great volumes, and in a few seconds spread to all parts of the building. A scene of wildest confusion ensued. The school building is five stories high and has nine classrooms—seven for girls and two for boys. The rear of the school abuts at the rear of the Church of the Holy Redeemer, which trouts on Third street. There are two stairways, one at the east and the other at the west end of the building. These stairways were about three and a half feet wide and opened almost to the door of the class room, but from a play room in the center of the building they were approached by a narrow, dark passageway. When the girls of the second floor of the school rushed from their classrooms they had hardly reached the head of the stairs when the boys and girls from the upper floors reached them. All frantically fought to get down the stairs, and the first were thrown headlong to the bottom. Then as the crush came foom the hundreds of children trying to get down from the upper floors on the east side of the building, the balustrade gave way and fully fifty children were thrown to the floor beneath. On them others fell until they were piled five feet high, on the top of each other. From the heap of children in the west hall six dead girls from seven to 10 years of age were taken out and carried into the church, laid in front of the sanctuary, and attempts to resuscitate them were made. Others forcing their way in despite the large force of police, filled the sacred building with their pitiful cries. One, recognizing a child that was dead, fell upon it with agonizing shrieks.

He was born in Kansas and grew up in a rural home to pursue his interests. He spent time in the state of Oklahoma, where he attended a large circle of schools. From the heap of children in the west hall six dead girls from seven to 10 years of age were taken out and carried into the church, laid in front of the sanctuary, and attempts to resuscitate them were made. Others forcing their way in despite the large force of police, filled the sacred building with their pitiful cries. One, recognizing a child that was dead, fell upon it with agonizing shrieks. The policeemen and monks turned away, dazed at the spectacle. Conveyances arriving, the bodies were taken up by the officers in their arms and carried out. A clamoring, shrieking, moaning throng of women, with uplifted and streaming eyes, followed. Mothers, finding their missing children living, fell upon their knees in the mud and snow, giving thanks. In the station house frantic shrieks proclaimed the identification of each little dead one. New York, Feb. 21.—The Coroner this morning selected a jury to investigate the causes of the fatal school disaster yesterday. Crowdato-day visited the place and discussed the terrible affair. Many were loud in denunciations of the clergymen in permitting a staircase which, they say, has been in a frail condition for some time past, to remain without being properly strengthened. Those injured will recover. The bodies of the dead children will be brought to the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer to-morrow morning, where the funeral services will be conducted. The church will be draped in mourning. The bodies have been enclosed in neat rosewood caskets, bearing on silver plates the names and ages of the little unfortunates. It is thought they are all to be interred in Calvary Cemetery. BRACKELL, Ill., Feb. 28.—A kerosene lamp exploded in a farm house on Besido Creek, 12 miles from here. Four children, in ages 2 to 7, were burned to death, and their mother, Mrs. McDonald, who was alone in the house with them was compelled to witness the scene, the flames having cut her off from the children's room. CORSICANA, Tex., Feb. 21.—The family of Wm. Bush, living 12 miles northeast of here, was poisoned by having morphine administered instead of quinine. The mother and three children died from the effects. The mistake arose from having the morphine and quinine side by side on the mantlepiece in the same sized bottles. While I am writing to you about my mails, I want to say a word about the pijer. Gogers are so destructive, and easily caught, that I am astonished to people allow them to destroy their lives. Use No. 9 Newhouse squirrel traps, and oil the trencher, so that a two-weight will spring the trap; open toe with a spade, and with a garden trunk make an open in the gopher hole; enough to shove the trap in about six inches; then cover the hole nearly tight with shingle about five inches square; and the trap. When the gophers are very mercous, cut carrots or potatoes in poison with arrychnine, and put them in their runs. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 21.—In connection with the floods there is printed an interesting article that will attract the attention scientists. It is alleged to be a fact shown at the recent convention of makers in this city that large areas of formerly marshy, have been reclaimed liberal use of tile, and it was also that notwithstanding the extraordinary crease in the number of tile factory demand was so great that prices have varied. The water taken off the surface the tiles must generally find its way to the rivers. C. J. W. Billingslay, of Drainage Journal, when spoken with regard to the matter said there about 2,500 tile factories in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, with a capacity for about 300,000,000 feet per year. A tile made within the last six years had used. He therefore made a rough estimate that in the three States named between 200,000 and 400,000 miles of now used, the water which coursed most of these ultimately finding its way to the Ohio or Mississippi Rivers. That tile placed at a depth of three feet did not carry off water rapidly to suddenly swell the volume of water the rivers and streams, but the flow very rapid when it was laid near the shore. He admitted that the tendency of the age was to increase the normal dewater in the streams, and believed that real effect of such extended drainage be to make the floods in the Mississippi higher and higher from year to year.
