WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... MAY 19, 1863 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. A company has been formed in Vienna to undertake the general business of washing windows. It is likewise proposed to execute orders for the scrubbing of housefronts and vestibules and the cleaning of mirrors and show cases, and doubtless for all kindred operations. Such an organization is badly needed in this part of the world, and would doubtless prove a very profitable experiment. If such companies were established here and would do general sweeping of stores and houses, cleaning of back yards, dusting carpets, setting up stoves and sweeping choked cunnies, etc., our housekeepers would live in a perfect haven of bliss. Tiz proposed Sahara Sea scheme has been reported favorably upon by M. De Lesseps. Soundings 73 meters deep have shown nothing but sand. The African land sea might easily be made, with the aid of 100 excavators representing the work of 100,000 men. M. de Lesseps has met with the best reception from the Arab soldery and population. On the third mat he arrived at Baskra, having completed a survey of the country between Ganges and the Marsh Lakes. He declared that the soil will allow of the excavations necessary to connect the lakes with the Mediterranean, that the works will present no extraordinary difficulty, and that the concessions asked for with regard to the forest and adjoining laddis will make the scheme remunerative and wholly independent of State aid, subvention, or guarantee. On Monday last, just a month from the day of his conviction and sentence, Joseph Brady was hanged for his complicity in the murders of Cavendish and Burke. The following incidents of the trial have but just reached this coast: During the day, as his trial drew to a termination, he was self-news of the week. In a boxing match between Sullivan and Mitchell in New York, Sullivan knocked Mitchell out in three rounds. Articles of incorporation of the California Land Improvement Company have been filed for record in the County Clerk's office.

An architect has submitted to the Bureau of Buildings at New York plans and specifications for a fifteen story flat house for thirty-eight families, at a cost of $650,000. A crew of men from the American schooner Guadalupe from San Francisco, April 1st, for Guayaquil, are prisoners in the port of Libertad. The town of Harrisburg (Ky.) was destroyed by fire on the 14th inst. The fire started in a lumberyard, sweeping all before it.

He left that locality without looking behind him. While three men were engaged in slaking a barrel of lime on Brush street, Oakland, an explosion occurred, blowing the barrel to pieces, scattering the lime in every direction and seriously burning one of the men named Holland in the face. Nearly five acres of ground were burned over at Leamington, Vt. The buildings were mostly wooden and the only appliance for extinguishing the fire was an old hand-engine, which refused to work until most of the property was destroyed.

On Monday last, just a month from the day of his conviction and sentence, Joseph Brady was hanged for his complicity in the murders of Cavendish and Burke. The following incidents of the trial have but just reached this coast: During the day, as his trial drew to a termination, he was self-possessed and delinquent. As his counsel made a tremendous effort to save him from the scaffold, he complacently stroked his board while listening attentively to everything that was said in his behalf. The speedily return of the jury from their deliberations did not discompose him. An alba for him had been set up, but unavailing; neither Judge nor jury believed the sprightly Irish girl who swore that he was walking the streets with her at the time of the assassination. It was eight days later than the anniversary of the two crimes. The Judge, Mr. Justice O Brien, in charging the jury, had exhibited much feeling, analyzing the evidence with animation. The jury remained out so long that an apprehension prevailed that it would disagree. It came in at length, however, with a vernict. "Guilty," said the Foreman, in reply to a question of the Clerk of the Clerk, was repeated. Brady was then asked if he had any reason to allay why sentence should not be passed upon him. "I am not guilty," he half insisted, half shouted, and then with a voice choking with passion, he shrieked. "I am not guilty of the charge." I am convicted by paid informers. The Judge, concurring in the verdict of the jury, then pronounced sentence, saying "You will follow your vices to the tomb." To this the prisoner made no reply, but turned to his counsel he said "I thank you, Dr Webb; I thank you, Mr Adams." And Monday, one month later, with apparent calmness and resignation, he expiated his terrible crime. Concord, May 15. - The Tribune's Little Rock (Akk), special of May 16th says: In intelligence was received here to day from Lincoln county to the effect that destruction is threatening the line pineries of that county, in the shape of peculiar exteriors, which feed on the foliage and are in such huge numbers as to strip the trees entirely of the needles, giving them the appearance of being dead. This being the first instance known of any kind of worm that would feed on the foliage of the pine, speculation is rife as to the result; some maintaining that it will kill the trees, while others think they will not be materially injured. Those owning fine pineries are quite interested in the subject and fear the destruction of their trees. The worm drops to the ground after having stripped the trees add dies where it falls, and neither hog nor fowl will eat it. WASHINGTON, May 16th. The annual report issued by the Mint Bureau, upon the production of gold and silver for the calendar year 1882, is ready for press. It will be a volume of about six hundred pages, giving in detail the output for each State Territory. While three men were engaged in slaking a barrel of lime on Brush street, Oakland, an explosion occurred, blowing the barrel to pieces, scattering the lime in every direction and seriously burning one of the men named Holland in the face. Nearly five acres of ground were burned over at Leanington, Vt. The buildings were mostly wooden and the only appliance for extinguishing the fire was an old hand-engine, which refused to work until most of the property was destroyed. CINEMASAT, May 14th. - The News-Journal's Stanford (Ky.) special says: The dwelling of John Martin was burned to day, consuming two of his children, aged 2 and 4 years. An older daughter, while attempting to rescue them, was badly burned. In a row near Dan Murphy's saloon, on Eighth Street, Oakland, between William Danny and Dan Lambert on one side and Frank Hastings on the other. Hastings was seriously battered in the face and head, and from appearances brass knuckles or a rock was seen. Delany was arrested, but Lambert escaped. The greatest locomotive in the world, weighing 105 tons, is now being made at Sacramento to push cars up the Tehachie mountain. This monster machine will have ten driving wheels. Such a heavy engine could not be brought overland as many brakes are not strong enough to support its crushing weight. The wife of the Rev., E. L. Stoddard, restorer of St. Johns Episcopal church in Jersey City, was shot and killed at her home, 95 Summit avenue. Mrs. Stoddard was dusting the shelves in one of the closets. On one of the shelves was a pistol. She brushed the weapon off; the trigger struck the shelf below and the weapon exploded. The ball striking her in the side, passed through her skull and lodged in the brain. Sue died in a few minutes. The Tribune says: The darkness which has brooded so long over Chile and Peru at last seems to be breaking away. According to the cable dispatches a treaty between the two republics has been signed and confirmed. Details are very meager. No reference is made to the status of the province of Tagapapa, but for a long time it has been assumed that this war irretrievably lost to Peru. Peru is left dummembered and bleeding, but hers soil is free from the invader and she now can begin to gather herself together as a first step towards prosperity. She is not a spectacle which the United States can behold with expansivity or satisfaction. There is peace without honor to it. The London Times says: The particulars of the attempt to destroy the steamer plying between Liverpool and New York have just leaked out at the former place. It appears that just before the vessel left Liverpool for New York, on her last voyage, having on board a number of immigrants, a man gave the steward a box and requested him as a favor to carry it to New York. The steward's suspicions were aroused and he consulted the Captain, who ordered the box opened. This was done in the presence of the Captain and officers, and the box found to contain an internal machine. The contents of the box were thrown overboard, but the box itself retained and a note made of the address upon it. The fact of this discovery was not made known publicly in New York on the vessel's arrival there, but the British Consul-General in that city was notified. The steamer has just returned to Mersey from New York. A cyclone destroyed the southern part of Kansas City, Mo., on the night of the 13th instant. A number of persons were killed, and the loss of property is estimated at £500,000. Fighting Ed. GAZETTE — wiser than men in judge from the fold.

The annual report issued by the Mint Bureau, upon the production of gold and silver for the calendar year 1882, is ready for press. It will be a volume of about six hundred pages, giving in detail the output for each State, Territory and mine in the United States. The grand total shows a decrease in the production of gold bullion for the year, amounting to some two million dollars. The principal decrease was in California, where it amounted to one million dollars, and in Dakota. There was a small increase in Colorado. WINNIPEG (Manitoba), May 15.—A son of Commodore N. W. Kittson, and late Deputy Prothonatory at Winnepeg, was attacked by small pox last night and placed in the small pox hospital. He escaped while deprived and wandered over the prairie. A search party was organized, and this afternoon his dead body was found on the prairie. This is the third son Commodore Kittson has lost since September. The Commodore had thirty-two children living at one time. A villager in Iowa bet that a stranger whose acquaintance he had casually made could not, within six hours, woo, win and marry a young woman who had just arrived at the same hotel. The suitor introduced himself to her, she smiled upon him, a minister was called and the ceremony was performed. The couple left on the following morning with no inconsiderable sum of money. They were husband and wife of long standing, and had played the same trick in many places. SALT LAKE, Utah, May 16th.—While a freight train on the Oregon Short Line was passing a point west of Pocatello, this morning, four kegs of powder in one of the cars exploded, wrecking five cars and fatally injuring two train men. GALVESTON, May 15th.—A News Terrell special says: There was a terrific hailstorm last evening. Some stones penetrated roofs. No casualties are reported except the killing of a few stock. A hailstone brought to town two hours after the storm weighed half a pound. Societies of the Week: Leutenant Tethini of the Third Savoy Cavairy of Italy, shot himself in New York. Unrequited love. At the Sandlot in San Francisco, William Besecke, a painter, shot himself in the head. Melancholy. James Tarpey, whose father lives at 37 Jesse street, San Francisco, jumped from the ferry boat plying between Washington and Alexandria. Physicial and financial misfortune. At Los Angeles on Sunday morning the dead body of John Rennan was found in the orange grove of Hon. A. T. Coronel, the top of the head being blown off by a gunshot. The inquiry developed the fact that it was a case of suicide. Decased was a cooper in the emploi of Kohler & Frohling, and was in poor health. At Grangeville, near Hanford, on the 14th inst., Tommy Williams, about 16 years of age, a son of a window, on being severely reproved by her for some misconduct, deliberately placed a small pastel to the right side of his head and fired. He has since been unconscious and his brains have been oozing from the wound. It is thought he cannot recover. A Santa Rosa telegram says that Levi Slusser of Mack West, one of the early pioneers, who came to this coast in 1846 and who has lived on the same farm since 1850, attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. He inflicted six terrible gashes. Failing to kill himself, he took a heavy dose of laudanum. The terrible intelligence was abruptly communicated to his aged wife. The shock overpowered her and she instantly fell dead. He suffered a paralytic stroke three years ago and it affected his mind. Four months ago he was taken to the Napa Insane Asylum for treatment and was permitted to return home last Tuesday. Fighting a Phantom. Ed. Gazette—Birds seem to be not much wiser than men in this respect, if one may judge from the following incident: In the dense foliage of a yellow jasmin vine which has climbed to the top of a baywindow of our residence, a pair of blackbirds have built their nest and laid the eggs preliminary to an increase of family. The nest is but a few inches from the glass, which forms a perfect mirror to anything on the outside. PACIFIC COAST NEWS: The Mohave branch of the Central Pacific Railroad is completed to the Colorado river. George E. Stanley has been appointed British Consul for the Pacific Coast. Kenneth McDonald died at San Luis Obispo, the other day, of blood poisoning, resulting from skinning diseased sneep. The body of George Corrigan aged twenty-eight and a native of Benicia, was found in the bay near Point Perale. Prescott, A. T., has had a $12,000 fire, the property destroyed being principally Col.

The duties on the opium will amount to about $150,000. The steamship Moccapops was burned on Sunday while lying as the dock at Seattle, W.T. The Chief Engineer of the steamer, Charles Knapp, was burned to death in his room and several men were badly injured. The dock was also burned. F. D. Ellier, preseman in Bacon & Co.'s printing house, met with a severe accident by having its right hand caught in a card press while in motion. Although no bones were broken, the contusions and bruises make it very painful. A number of Chinese employed on the Oregon and California Railroad were poisoned by eating hog meat fattened on the flesh of horses who had died during the winter from exposure and starvation. About 25 The Timber Culture Law: There appears to be a difference of opinion about the United States land law with regard to obtaining government land by planting trees thenceon. Several persons have requested to have the provisions of the law published. Under the timber culture act an applicant is entitled to 160 acres on any section naturally devoid of timber; the whole section must be devoid of timber. On one section only one timber claim can be taken. It requires eight years to acquire a title. Actual residence is not required. The first year five acres must be broken. Second year he must cultivate these five and break five more. Third year he must plant the first five acres. Fourth year he plants the second five acres in trees, which make the ten acres. On the day of final proof 6,750 trees must be living. Chicago, May 15: The Tribune's Chatsworth special says: Saturday evening last a murder of an unusually brutal character was committed near the village of Williamsford, in Holland township. It appears that about 4 o'clock a farmer named George Lambert, 50 years of age, came into his house for supper, and while in the act of washing his hands was shot through the back by his son Joseph, aged 29, of eccentric habits, but not heretofore looked on as dangerous. The shot was fired through the stovepipe hole from up stairs. The old man staggered backward and fell on the floor. The murderer loaded his gun for a second shot when his mother ran up stairs and implored him to desist, but on threatening to shoot her next, she rushed down stairs, and while so doing a second shot was fired taking effect in the dying man shehead, killing him outright. The murderer then loaded his gun a third time, came down stairs and dragged his victim about forty yards to the foot of the garden, where he began to prepare a grave. He then got some timber, which he commenced to measure and saw up for a coffin. By this time twenty or thirty neighbors alarmed by the mother had congratulated but were unable to do anything, as the murderer threatened to shoot the first man who approached him. He was finally overpowered and lodged in jail awaiting trial for wilful murder. The desire to obtain possession of his father's farm is assigned as the cause of the murder. New York, May 16: A special to the World from Erie, Pa., May 15th says James Walker of Edinboro noted as a "knocker" through-the-rail regions; yesterday quarrelled with a driller from Buffalo; The latter drawing a revolver; pulled Fighting a Phantom. Ed. GAZETTE — Birds seem to be not much wiser than men in this respect, if one may judge from the following incident: In the dense foliage of a yellow jaamin vine which has climbed to the top of a bay window of our residence, a pair of blackbirds have built their nest and laid the eggs preliminary to an increase of family. The nest is but a few inches from the glass, which forms a perfect mirror to anything on the outside. All this is very well, and wholly unobjectionable. But the male bird which doubtless knows the features of every other blackbird on the place is not acquainted with his own, and so sees only the face of a stranger in dangerous proximity to its home as it perches itself on a twig close by. Moving his head first to one side, then to the other, then changing his position, he sees every movement and each expression of defiance simultaneously repeated by his supposed adversary, till at last unable to bear the insult any longer, he dashes himself against the glass, only to be thrown back by the recoil to his perch again. Nothing daunted, however, he at once repeats the assault and that continuously for several times in a minute, till apparently somewhat fatigued he retires to rest while. The blow upon the glass—a good sized plate, 15x36—seemed at times as if there was some little danger of its being broken, so fierce were the attacks. This has continued now some four or five days, and nearly all day at that, causing at first merely amusement to the family, but when it began soon after four o'clock in the morning—waking the household and allowing no further sleep—it became a nuisance and we were obliged to remove the nest. On examining the glass we found it covered with saliva from the beak of the bird mixed with slight streaks of blood. Sir John Hawkshaw, civil engineer, recently stated that there were no engineering difficulties in the way of the formation of the tunnel between France and England, and that its maintenance would be cheap. He estimated the cost of the tunnel at £8,000,000, and said the work would occupy construction eight years. He had no doubt as to the financial success of the undertaking. It was reasonable to reckon upon 2,000,000 passengers being carried through the tunnel annually at 65 per head, and 1,200,000 tons of goods at 5s. per ton. That would produce a revenue of £900,000. Allowing 40 per cent for working expenses, 61 per cent could then be paid upon the capital of the company. As one means of defense it had been suggested that steps should be taken by which the tunnel could be floated. He however was of opinion that arrangements could be made to throw up a mass of shingle inside the tunnel and thus prevent its use. If necessary the tunnel could be blown up. Should more than one tunnel be constructed the question whether or not they should all be defended by forts was a question for a military man. If there were several tunnels they could be easily defended by the same fortifications on the English side. The tunnel would be 180 feet below The steamship Mississippi was burned on Sunday while lying as the dock at Seattle, W.T. The Chief Engineer of the steamer, Charles Kihapp, was burned to death in his room and several men were badly injured. The dock was also burned. F. D. Elder, preseman in Bacon & Co.'s printing house, met with a severe accident by having his right hand caught in a card press while in motion. Although no bones were broken, the contusions and bruises make it very painful. A number of Chinese employed on the Oregon and California Railroad were poisoned by eating hog meat fattened on the flesh of horses who had died during the winter from exposure and starvation.

M. Graham, of Los Angeles, has figured out the amount of measure which two miles of rain abides to our trees, and the result of his calculations shows that each tree, in an orchard in which there are eight trees to the area, receives with a precipitation of two inches of rain (630 gallons) or twenty barrels of water. SAS FRANÇOISI May 16. The examination of John S. Gray, the distainer, was concluded this morning in the Police Court. He was held on one additional charge of embezzlement and two for forgery; making forty-four charges in all. One charge on each forgery and embezzlement was dismissed. This ends the proceedings in the Police Court. A Victoria, B.C., dispatch says that a furious attack was made by railroad employees on the Chinese workmen, by which nine Chinese were terrifically mangled. One is dying from his wounds. The white men attacked the Chinese while they were in bed, and as they rushed out of their tents, clubbed them with pack handlers after which they burned their camp. On Saturday a lad passing the house of J.W. Wilcox, about eight miles from San Buenaventura, saw that it had fallen down, crushing the occupant whose feet were sticking out from under the rims. He had probably been lead some four or five days when found. Wilcox was an eccentric character who had long been supported by the county and who need entirely alone. He was a native of Massachusetts, aged about 45 years. The San Diego papers of Wednesday state that at last Tuesday coming into the body of a man in a very much decomposed condition, was found in this country of the Twenty-second street depot, in that city. A brief examination disclosed a terrible hole in the skull about three inches above the right temple, made either by a bullet or some heavy instrument. Various articles of more or less value were found in his pockets, and a leather waistlet around his neck containing a $20 gold piece; three thalers; Pressman; and a paper in German. It is certain that he was fully murdered or committed suicide; the former being most probable. A coroner's jury is immediately to investigate the case. The Kern county grand jury investigated the Tehachepe disaster of the 20th of January last. They blame the general management and state that, although the Court discharged the conductor and brakeman who were arrested for criminal negligence of duty, both are retained in the service of the company; find that the working force at that dangerous point is insufficient; that the running of night trains on this portion of the road is unfortunate; that to a day train such an accident would have been impossible; strongly ensure the management of the Southern Pacific railroad; and hold that the public is entitled to immediate charges in order to prevent the recurrence of such a calamity. NEW YORK May 16 — A special to the World from Erie, Pa., of May Doh says James Walker of Edinboro noted as a knocker through-the-rail regions, yesterday squirrelled with a driller from Laudia. The latter drawing a resolver, pulled the trigger, but the weapon miscellent fire and Walker sprang behind a door. A parley ensued in which the stranger consented to suspend hostilities if Walker would come forth. The latter emerged from his cover and was immediately shut down. Walker next came into prominence in the oil country when the notorious Ben Hogan now an evangelist kept a dancehouse in Reaford. Walker once cleared Hogan's den of everybody and then announced himself by shooting out the lights and breaking the furniture and all the windows. He at one time trained for the prize ring; but gave up the idea when he became a highway-breaker and lighter in the oil country.

Though business is just opened up, already travel on this line to San Francisco has begun. A News Bonham special says: Miss Bragg, a niece of General Bragg, saturated her clothing with coal oil and then applied a match. The cause was her protracted ill health. She will die. The biggest bargains ever offered are to be had at the remnant counter of Goodman & Kimpan. The Kern county grand jury investigated the Teshachpe disaster of the 20th of January last. They blame the general management and state that, although the Court discharged the conductor and brakeman who were arrested for criminal negligence of duty, both are retained in the service of the company; find that the working force at that dangerous point is insufficient; that the running of night trains on this portion of the road is unfortunate; that to a day train such an accident would have been impossible; strongly ensure the management of the Southern Pacific railroad, and hold that the public is entitled to immediate changes in order to prevent the recurrence of such a calamity. In an endeavor to save his wife from a suicide's death on Sunday afternoon, Chas. Heusch was himself knocked down and killed by one of the steam dummies on the Presidio Railroad, San Francisco. The catastrophe occurred at the crossing of Baker street, near which the deceased was walking with his wife, a patient from the Napa Insane Asylum. Mrs. Heusch was only released from the Asylum on a leave of absence on the 25th of March last and was soon to be returned, at the prospect of which she was feeling very despondent. While they were discussing her unfortunate condition a west-bound train appeared in sight and the woman attempted to rush on to the track in front of the wheels, evidently with the intention of committing suicide. Her husband darted after her and succeeded in pushing her from the track, but failed to clear himself and in a moment was horribly mangled about the head and right side. The woman whose mad rush caused the horrible accident was driven completely mad by the death of her husband and had to be forcibly removed to her home at 54 Nevada street, between Eleventh and Twelfth. HARRODSBURG, (Ky.) May 17.—In the Thompson trial the jury came in with a verdict, and the Court asking what it was, handed in the following: "We, the jury, find Philip B.
