S, commission id for Corn, cs, Cash adnments Two New Ordinances. Among the ordinances adopted by the Board of Town Trustees are the following: ORDINANCE No. V. An Ordinance levying a dog tax for each fiscal year, for the Town of Anaheim. The Trustees of the Town of Anaheim do ordain as follows: SECTION 1. That there be and hereby is levied a tax of one (1) dollar upon every dog or bitch owned or kept in the Town of Anaheim, and suffered to run in the streets thereof. SECTION 2. That the Marshal be and he is hereby authorized to kill all dogs or bitches which he may find running upon the streets of said Town of Anaheim unaccompanied by their owners. SECTION 3. The keeping of any dog or bitch that continually howls or barks at night is hereby declared a public nuisance, and any person keeping or maintaining any such dog or bitch shall upon conviction be fined not exceeding $100 or imprisonment not exceeding 20 days. SECTION 4. This Ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage. ORDINANCE No. IX. An Ordinance to establish the width of sidewalks and to encourage the planting of trees in the Town of Anaheim. The Trustees of the Town of Anaheim do ordain as follows: SECTION 1. That a space of ten feet be set apart on each side of each street over its feet wide, and a space of eight-feet on each side of each street fifty or less than fifty feet wide for a sidewalk, except in cases where ground has been necessarily reserved for irrigation ditches. SECTION 2. That all persons owning or leasing property on such streets are permitted and recommended to set out trees suitable A Model Plan. A Young Men's Christian Association of England has sent an accredited agent to America upon a very novel mission. His object is to arrange with reputable farmers in the United States, especially at the West, for the placing with them of youths from 16 to 18 years of age, to be taught the arts of agriculture. The locals are to be selected by the Association from the class of youths who show a disposition to be industrious, and for whom clerkships alone are available in the great cities of England. In that country large numbers of boys at 16 are apprenticed to merchants for five years, and are allowed in that time, besides the opportunities to learn the business, the sum of £100. But at the close of the apprenticeships there are permanent places for only about one in six. Now of this class the Association proposes to send many to America, prior to, during and at the close of the mercantile apprenticeships, for many are able to secure release from their "apprentice bonds" without difficulty, because the applicants for the places are so numerous. The agent also proposes to send out a large number of English girls, who are willing to go out to domestic service here, but will not do so in England, and many of whom, if they remain at home, are exposed to the worst temptations in their efforts to obtain employment. Under both these plans only youths are to be sent who are strongly vouched for, whose parents consent, and whose lives give warrant for the belief that they have an ambition to become useful and upright men and Iowa Lawlessness. WAVERLY, Iowa, June 7. The capture of the noted Barber boys occurred at a farm house four miles southwest of Tripoli, and sixteen miles southeast of this place. During the day they had been concealed in the barn of a German farmer named August Teglemere, and about eight o'clock in the evening they went to the house and asked for some supper. Henry Teglemere, son of the farmer, recognized them and succeeded in conveying this fact to his father, whom he instructed to give the alarm to the neighbors. Henry remained at home to assist his mother in preparing the meal for the desperados. Several men, all of whom were Germans, accompanied the elder Teglemere to his home. They had no weapons, save one shotgun, which it is claimed, was not loaded. The intention was to surround the house, and when the boys came out to spring upon them and secure them before their suspicions could be aroused. This plan was baffled through the excitement of one man, who rushed into the house to secure the bandits; upon which the latter both drew revolvers and began firing promiscuously. Henry Teglemere sprang upon Bill Barber, knocked his hands away, and caught him by the throat. The melee then became general, and Bill was soon on the floor, but he managed to continue firing over his shoulder. He managed to escape his pursuers for a moment, and leaping through an open window, began firing at the men inside. By this time several of the attacking party were wounded, and finally one named Henry Hage. ORDINANCE No IX. An Ordinance to establish the width of sidewalks and to encourage the planting of trees in the Town of Anaheim. The Testers of the Town of Anaheim do ordinance as follows: Section 1. That a space of ten feet be set apart on each side of each street over forty feet wide, and a space of eight feet on each side of each street fifty or less than fifty feet wide for a sidewalk, except in cases where ground has been necessarily reserved for irrigation ditches. Section 2. Last persons owning or leasing property on such streets are permitted and recommended to set out trees suitable for shading such walks; such trees to be placed with centers as near as may be one foot from the outer edge of such walks and sixteen feet apart, and such trees may be protected from mutilation by boxes or other suitable means, for three years. And as an inducement and incentive thereto, all persons planting and protecting such trees shall be entitled to a remission of town taxes on an amount equal to three dollars for each tree so planted each year for three years from the time of such planting. Section 3. That an obstruction to the sidewalks, and their removal is necessary, said trees shall not be so removed until the proper season for replanting arrives. Section 4. All awnings, verandas, porches or inciting posts shall be so placed as not to obstruct said sidewalks. Section 5. In any case where trees are found to be an obstruction to the sidewalks, and their removal is necessary, said trees shall not be so removed until the proper season for replanting arrives. Section 6. This ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage. Testing Eggs. In reply to a query as to the method of testing eggs to ascertain whether they are fertile or not, L. C. Byce of Petaluma writes as follows to the Rural Press: There is no known method whereby the fertility of eggs may be determined previous to incubation. After eggs have been under heat for five days they may be tested as follows: In a darkened room, on the side facing the sun, have an opening of the size of a small egg, all the better if this opening is in heavy cloth, no light will then be admitted around the egg. Place the egg against the opening. The embryo will be noticed on the side last up in the nest, and on the fifth day will look like a spider. If at this date no blood veins are forming, although there may be a shadow, there is no chick. Another plan is to test in warm water, but is only to be used when the eggs are being hatched by natural means. Eggs placed in the artificial incubator do not receive that only secretion, noticeable on their surface when taken from under hens, consequently, when immersed in water for any length of time, we are apt to take in a quantity through the pores sufficient to drown the chick. Fresh eggs, when placed in water, will lie flat on their sides. After being subjected to heat for forty eight hours, the end secure release from their "apprentice bonds" without difficulty, because the applicants for the places are so numerous. The agent also proposes to send out a large number of English girls, who are willing to go out to domestic service here, but will not do so in England, and many of whom, if they remain at home, are exposed to the worst temptations in their efforts to obtain employment. Under both these plans only youths are to be sent who are strongly vouched for, whose parents consent, and whose lives give warrant for the belief that they have an ambition to be one useful and upright man and woman. American committees are to be formed in our cities that will receive the girls and attend to securing them homes, and keep an eye upon them until the habits of their lives are fully settled. The lads will be sent only to farmers who are fairly well established, and who bind themselves to bring up the young men correctly, and to industrial habits. These plans are novel; they breathe the spirit of practical charity, and they promise us an element that is in every way desirable, while they open opportunities to deserving youths for useful and happy careers. By the new system a spirit will be enkindled in English cities among dependent youths, and those who need just such stimulus to deserve the aid and countenance of the Society — Sacramento Record Union. RED BUFFE. June 9th. This city was thrown into a commotion to day by the shooting of Abraham Townsend, publisher and proprietor of the Daily Sentinel, and an old citizen of this county, by Charles F. Montgomery, editor and publisher of the Sentence Weekly Tables, which occurred at two o'clock this afternoon. The shooting was occasioned by a long continued quarrel between the two papers, and the culmination and tragedy of today has been often predicted. In July last Townsend secured Montgomery as editor of his paper, and upon the burning out of the Sentinel in October last, Townsend turned the publication of the paper over to the care of his son and Montgomery. This action was not productive of good results, it seems, as the Sentinel expired about the 1st of December. Townsend then accused Montgomery of selling out the paper to those who were opposed to him (Townsend). Townsend then resurrected the Sentinel, the first number appearing in January, and in the first number were several severe attacks against the action and reputation of Montgomery. The latter retaliated, and a regular newspaper war has been indulged in since. Of late Townsend had been writing that Montgomery was "a child thrown upon the world in infancy." and defying him to prove his parentage, and yesterday Townsend publicly made reflections on his mother's character. This, it is said by Montgomery, was more than he was willing to peaceably bear, and while Townsend was at a card table in Lange's Palace saloon, on Main street, writing a newspaper notice for his paper. Montgomery entered, and decided not to You won't baffled through the excitement of one man, who rushed into the house to secure the bandits; upon which the latter both drew revolvers and began firing promiscuously. Henry Teglemere sprang upon Bill Barber, knocked his hands away, and caught him by the throat. The meleen then became general, and Bill was soon on the floor, but he managed to continue firing over his shoulder. He managed to escape his pursuers for a moment, and leaping through an open window, began firing at the men inside. By this time several of the attacking party were wounded, and finally one named Henry Hage, went outside the door and succeeded in pinning Ike by the arms. Henry Karsting received a ball through the body, and exclaimed, "Boys I'm going to die," but he still continued to fight, and aided in tying both boys by the arms with rope, which Mrs. Teglemere had gone to the barn and procured. Sixteen shots were fired by the outlaws. Like emptying the two weapons he had on his person. Of the five brave men who attacked them all were wounded, the injuries being as follows: Henry Karsting shot through body, and died at 1:15 in the morning: John H. Karsting, shot in left breast, hip and arms; Henry Teglemere, shot in neck; Henry Pope, shot in breast, the bullet striking the bone and coming out at the back; August Teglemere, finger bitten and crushed. It is thought all the wounded will recover. Word was sent to Waverly, and as soon as possible the Deputy Sheriffs, A. Davis and Corstensen, went for the captured men'and landed them in jail at six o'clock yesterday morning. DEBUQUE, Iowa, June 8.—The Herald's special from Waverly says: The Barber boys were taken from jail by a mob at 11:30 o'clock to night and hanged to a tree half a mile east of the jail. The mob was composed of men from Fayette county and were led by a brother of Shepherd, whom the Barbers killed last fall at West Union. The Sheriff refused to give up the keys, and the mob battered down the doors with sledgehammers, and after a short delay inside brought the criminals out with ropes around their necks. The boys did not flinch a particle, and did not even plead for mercy during the whole ordeal. VISALIA, June 8.—The case of James Fisher vs. S. Sweet, which has been pending in the Superior Court of Tulare county for the last twenty-five days, resulted yesterday in the rendering of a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $63,054. The parties to the suit had been engaged in extensive farming operations on lands in Tulare county, formerly bought for speculation. The suit was brought to recover $118,000 alleged to be due the plaintiff by defendant, and the instructions of the Court were that the balance of the claim above the sum allowed plaintiff in the verdict, amounting to nearly $55,000, was barred by the statute of limitation. The main defense was that there existed a partnership and consequently judgment could not be rendered in favor of Another plan is to test in warm water, but is only to be used when the eggs are being hatched by natural means. Eggs placed in the artificial incubator do not receive that only secretion, noticeable on their surface when taken from under hens, consequently, when immersed in water for any length of time, we are apt to take in a quantity through the pores sufficient to drown the chick. Fresh eggs, when placed in water, will lie flat on their sides. After being subjected to heat for forty eight hours, the end containing the air chamber will begin to rise, if the egg is fertile. This, though but slightly perceptible at first, will increase daily, until the egg will stand upright on the small enl. The infertile ones will show no change for four or five days. The fertile eggs will, after assuming the upright position, gradually rise in the water and about the tenth day will come to the surface. About the seventeenth day a portion of the egg will stand above the water, and an occasional motion of the egg in the water will give assurance that the chick is alive and kicking. After this, if any sink to the bottom they are dead without a doubt. Water should not be warmer than 98° to 100° and the eggs left in but a short time. New York, June 9.—A Tribune editorial says: Following the example of such statesmen as Tim Campbell and Alderman Kirk, Congressman Perry Belmont appears to have been getting up a testimonial to himself in the shape of a public dinner. It was to have been served to-day at the Argyle Hotel at Babylon, and prominent Democrats of Queens and Suffolk counties had been invited. The Congressman had even made arrangements to have his speech circulated far and wide, and began to anticipate its effects in his election to the United States Senate, but "the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley," and so it has proved. The "prominent Democrats" have refused to attend his dinner, and have gone so far as to ask his father to abandon the undertaking. This has been done, but with such ill grace as threatens to cut short Belmont's political career. A dressing to beautify gray hair every family needs. Parker's Half-Balram never fails to satisfy. Richmond, Va., June 8.—Sheriff Dunkling and F. W. Walter fought a horseback duel yesterday, near Patrick Court House. Walter was fatally wounded. He was the opponent of Dunkling in the last election. New York, June 8.—A special dispatch from Richmond gives the following account of the duel between Sheriff Dunkling and Colonel Walter: The usual formula of the code was dispensed with, neither seconds nor surgeons were present. The Sheriff was mounted on a horse, Colonel Walter rode in a buggy. They approached each other from opposite directions, at a point within a few hundred yards of Colonel Walter's house. Upon sighting each other each drew his pistol. Colonel Walter fired first from his buggy seat, and Sheriff Dunkling's horse tell with a ball in his head. The Sheriff quickly disengaged himself from the wounded animal and blazed away at Walter. One of the bullets from his weapon took effect in the stomach of Walter. The latter continued to fire until his cartridges failed to explode, and then called out to the Sheriff that he was wounded and unable to return the fire. Upon this notification Dunkling lowered his pistol and hostilities ceased. Walter, though severely wounded, drove rapidly home without aid. He is reported to be convalescing. The principals, it is said, will now be good friends. San Francisco, June 9.—The Immigration Association reports a continuation of an unusually large immigration to California. There is a rush of immigrants to the Government lands in the great Upper Salinas Valley, between San Francisco and Los Angeles. This tract has heretofore remained unsettled through lack of railroad communication, and is believed to be one of the best fruit regions of California. Charles Crocker says the Southern Pacific railroad will run regular overland trains through this valley within fifteen months. A large corps of engineers is now surveying and locating the route. Many immigrants are also locating along the line of the Oregon Branch of the Central Pacitio in Shasta county, now being pushed through to connect with the Oregon road now working south. Williamstown (Ky.). June 9.—John W. Green, a respected citizen of Grant county, while on his way home from here was shot from his horse and killed by persons in ambush, who used shotguns. Six members of a family named Jump were arrested today on suspicion. "He who is ready to buy up his enemies will never want a supply of them." It is cheaper to buy a true friend in Kidney-Wort who will drive away those miserable enemies, a torpid liver, constipation, diabetes, piles, diseased kidneys and bowels. This remedy is now prepared in liquid as well as in dry form. GAZETTE. JUNE 16, 1883. NO, 36 A Narrow House. The narrowest house in New York may be seen at the northwest corner of Lexington Avenue and Eighty-second street. When Lexington Avenue was cut through some years ago, a strip of land five feet wide and one hundred feet deep was all that was left of a certain lot belonging to a person who did not own the next lot on the street. The strip, while of little value by itself, would be valuable to the person owning the adjoining lot on Eighty-second street, because it would not only enable him to build a house five feet wider, but would give him windows all along the side of his house on Lexington Avenue. The two owners, however, could not agree as to terms, and a house was erected on the lot adjoining the narrow strip. The owner of the latter had nothing to do but to abandon his lot or build a house five feet wide upon it. The latter course was perhaps adopted because such a house would shut up all the side windows of the neighboring building, and considerably reduce its value. The new building, which has been finished for some months, is therefore 5 feet wide, 100 feet deep, and 4 stories high. It is divided into two houses, each fifty feet long, and the entrance doors are, of course, on the Avenue, as there is no room for a door at either end of the building. The law allows a building at the corner of a street to have projecting bay-windows along the side, and taking advantage of this circumstance, the architect has managed to plan a house which, while peculiar in inside appearance, and DES MOINES, Iowa, June 8.—At Oskaloosa, yesterday, Reese Purcell, a discarded lover of Miss Turner, met that young laly walking with Mr. De Beard, and after upbraiding her for unfaithfulness turned to De Beard and said, "You are the cause of this trouble." He then drew a pistol and shot De Beard in the left side of the neck, the bull passing upwards and coming out at the right side. He then tried to shoot Miss Turner, but was prevented by a crowd of men who gathered around her. Purcell ran away, and has not been apprehended. De Beard's wound is considered very dangerous. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., June 7th.—At the South Tredegar Iron Works in this city yesterday, a difficulty occurred between two employes, named Lafayette Broader and William Thomas. Broader, who is a powerful man, raised Thomas like a child and laid him on his back on a red hot slab of iron, holding him there until he burned him nearly to death. The bystanders then interfered and prevented a horrible murder. Thomas' head and back are literally roasted. His injuries will prove fatal. KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 8.—Shortly after midnight George Fredericks, proprietor of the Theatre Comique, was shot and killed by John Bell, a reporter of the Evening Star, in the hallway of a lodging house opposite the theatre. There was trouble about a woman, Mattie Hartlan, who had been known as the mistress of Fredericks. She was the only witness of the affair, and was the excitement of one man, to the house to secure the banbler, the latter both drew rebegan firing promiscuously, there sprang upon Bill Barber, ends away, and caught him by the melee then became general, on the floor, but he manfue firing over his shoulder.

Of the five brave men them all were wounded, the follows: Henry Karsting, body, and died at 1:15 in the H. Karsting, shot in left and arms; Henry Teglemere, Henry Pope, shot in the net striking the bone and comback; August Teglemere, and crushed. It is thought all will recover. World was sent and as soon as possible the A. Davis and Corstensen, captured men and landed them clock yesterday morning. Iowa, June 8.—The Herald's Waverly says: The Barber from jail by a mob at 11:30 and hanged to a tree half a jail.

June 8.—The case of James sweet, which has been penderior Court of Tulare county fenty-five days, resulted yesondering of a verdict in favor for $63,054. The parties to been engaged in extensive tons on lands in Tulare counought for speculation. The at to recover $118,000 alleged blaintify by defendant, and the the Court were that the baltain above the sum allowed verdict, amounting to nearly arred by the statute of limimain defense was that there ownership and consequently not be rendered in favor of Portland, June 7th.—A strange story comes from Tacoma, W.T., this evening. It is as follows: There arrived by the steamship Oregon from San Francisco last Tuesday evening, direct from Germany, Huldas Spinhorn, an intelligent German girl, aged twenty-two years. She went immediately to Tacoma, where she expected to meet and be married to her betrothed, Heinrich Kirchner. Kirchner was an industrious farmer living a few miles from Tacoma, and committed suicide May 14th on account of a mistaken idea that his betrothed had rejected him. Mr. Zinrom, Administrator of Kirchner's estate, awaited Miss Spinhorn at the depot, and the sad news of her lover's death was broken to her as gently as possible. The girl then said just before leaving home, late in April, she asked her brother, she being busy, to write to Kirchner, announcing the date of her departure. The letter was found upon Kirchner's body after his death, and instead of making the direct announcement that his sister would come, the brother, in thoughtless pleasantry, wrote: "What if she has concluded not to come and to renounce those feelings once so sincerely entertained?" Kirchner, naturally jealous, brooded over his supposed disappointment three or four days and then blew his brains out with a shotgun. Hartford, June 8th.—The Times says: Oranges from California are now coming forward in consequence of the reduction of $100 a car-load in freight charges. They have not been seen much in the Eastern markets. The Florida article is so good, and prevented a horrible murder. Thomas head and back are literally roasted. His injuries will prove fatal. Kansas City, Mo., June 8.—Shortly after midnight George Fredericks, proprietor of the Theatre Comique, was shot and killed by John Bell, a reporter of the Evening Star, in the hall way of a lodging house opposite the theatre. There was trouble about a woman, Mattie Hartlan, who had been known as the mistress of Fredericks. She was the only witness of the affair, and was with the men at the head of the stair-way. Bell claims self-defense, that Fredericks was trying to draw a revolver. The most reliable, carefully prepared and best purgative of the present age is Brandreth's Pills. They are composed of Roots, Herbs and Gums of the most healing and beneficial kind. As a family medicine they are unrivalled, curing Headache, Constipation, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia — clearing the blood of all impurities — acting on the liver, kidneys and other important organs, removing the waste tissue, and adding years to the lives of all who use them. For fifty years they have been used by the American public, and their constantly increasing sales show how they are appreciated. A Perfect Remedy in 20 Diseases. Ashfield, Mass. I am verging on eighty years, and deem it my duty to suffering humanity to say that my long life is due to Brandreth's Pills which have been my sole medicine for half a century. I know the last forty-three years of my life are owing solely to their use. Your Pills saved me many times after the best medical skill in several States had given me up as hopeless. I have had many converts to purgation with Brandreth's Pills, and have seen them perform almost miracles of cure. For children, a few doses have cured measles, scarlet fever and whoooping cough. In all female troubles and weakness I have never known them to fail. In adult males I have known them to cure the worst cases of dyspepsia, rheumatism kidney diseases, dysentery and diarrhea; even dropy, paralysis, and appoplexy have yielded to a persistent course of Brandreth's Pills. In fact I have found them the true Life Elixir. They act as continual preventives against the effects of time, disease and labor. John H. Mann. Washington, June 9th.—General Phil Sheridan is probably not aware that he is to have a very fine resilence, in the most fashionable quarter of the capital, presented to him when he arrives here next fall to succeed General Sherman as the head of the army. Certain of his admirers have, however, bought him a house and it has been paid for and the conveyance made. The price paid was $43,000. The place was purchased from Judge Aldis of the French-American Claims Commission. Given Away. We cannot help noticing the liberal offer made to all invalids and sufferers by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. HARTFORD, June 8th.—The Times says: Oranges from California are now coming forward in consequence of the reduction of $100 a car-load in freight charges. They have not been seen much in the Eastern markets. The Florida article is so good, and is sold at rates so fair, though not as cheap as it should be, that it has taken the field in the principal cities of this part of the country to the practical exclusion of all other kinds, except cheap Mediterranean fruit. The Florida orange is still too high priced, but that is an evil that improved arrangements for transportation, aided by the rapidly developing system of railroads in Florida itself, will soon modify. Southern California, with its climate, can probably produce any or everything that can be grown in Florida, and can easily supply the country's great markets with an enormously increased quantity of oranges. Whether these are or are not equal in quality to the very superior oranges of Florida, is a question that will soon present its own solution, after the Western fruit is once fairly introduced in the market. It is a remarkable fact that quadrupling of the orange production in Florida within the last eight or nine years has had no perceptible effect in lowering the price of that popular fruit. NEW YORK, June 8th.—Advices from the vine-growing districts of Spain report considerable damage to vineyards from the inclement weather experienced during early spring.
