WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...FEB. 23, 1884 Kleinigkeiten. The political calm is ominous of a storm soon to break out. The politicians of Los Angeles county are absurdly inactive. Insure against fire in the first-class companies for which Richard Melrose is agent. Policies written and delivered at once. Contractors will find at Frank Ey's store the plans and specifications for the new school house at Placentia. See advertisement. The case of the Farmers' Ditch Company vs. Schmult, to which reference was made last week, was settled without the intervention of a trial. The Hay rape case is to tried for the third time in the Superior Court. Deputy Sheriff Tyler has subpoenaed fifteen jurors from Anaheim. The Los Angeles Herald of last Sunday had a "yarn" about the robbery of Messrs. Snow and Kelly, of the Anaheim oil wells by H. F. Hubbard, one of the employees. No such occurrence took place. It is said that every available acre of land in this vicinity is either seeded to grain already or is being prepared for corn. An unusual crop of the latter will doubtless be raised. T. S. Harris, who shot Whitehead, editor of the Republican, was found guilty of assault to murder, with a recommendation on the mercy of the court. He was sentenced to one year's imprisonment in the State prison. The time of arrival and departure of mail has been changed or more properly MORE WETNESS. The Sunday Pranks of J. Plavius-A Week of Isolation. Our record of this surprising winter closed on Friday the 15th, at 2 p.m., up to which time the precipitation for the season was 11.83 inches by the town gauge. The showers on Saturday added .35 to the total, but the continuous and heavy downpour of Sunday was what swelled the figures and the rivers. The fall on that day was 2.71 and on Monday .21, making 3.27 inches in all or a total for the season of 15.10. Mr. Saxton's gauge recorded 31 inches and the gauge at the depot 3.40 inches. Sunday's rainfall proved too much for the water gorged earth, and the water stayed upon the ground and in places the country appeared like a vast lake. South of Westminster and in the near vicinity of the ostrich farm the water was alarmingly deep, but no damage was done except a temporary scare. Preparations for the removal of the ostriches were about to be made when the rain ceased. But the water subsided almost as quickly as it had appeared, and there is now no trace of its presence except in the freshened look of the plain. There were rumors of endangered lives in Gospel Swamp, and doubtless there was good reason to fear a calamity in that neighborhood, but it was happily averted and no casualty is reported. The waters of the Santiago Creek, diverted from the bed by the brush and refuse for which it has been made a receptacle, poured through a part of the town of Orange, and gave rise to some apprehension. But little damage was done, however. Saxton & Cox's lumber yard at that place was immedated, and the piles of lumber do not present the neat and ship-shape appearance which characterized them before the visitation. The damage in North Anaheim and Orange-thorpe district was confined to the roads along which the water swept in great volumes. A lot of firewood piled near Mr. McDermont's gum grove was swept away, but the same sweep of water passed over a broken and irregular piece of his land, filling it with rich sediment and leaving it as level as a barn floor, in which fact the gentleman finds ample compensation for the loss.

Harris, who shot Whitehead, editor of the Republican, was found guilty of assault to murder, with a recommendation on the mercy of the court. He was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment in the State prison. The time of arrival and departure of maids has been changed—or, more properly speaking, will change whenever mail communication is again established. The mail arrives at Anaheim at 6:45 p.m. and leaves Anaheim for the north at 6:30 a.m. The following real estate transaction are reported: Alfred Robinson, trustee, to E.W. Dolley, SE1 of NE1 Sec 29, T. S. R. II W., $1495.95. Alfred Robinson, trustee, to Henrietta S. Schrate—NW1 of NE1 Sec 29, 3 S. II W., $1305. The assignees of the Santa Ana Valley Bank have declared a dividend of ten per cent—the fourth dividend of the same amount which has been declared. The Santa Ana Herald estimates that twenty per cent more will be paid when the assets yet on hand will be realized upon. Among the sufferers by the flood in Los Angeles were John Fischer and his son Fred, both of whom lost their new houses with all the contents. The old gentleman was at San Pedro at the time of the occurrence, and his daughters were unable to save anything. His friends in Anaheim subscribed liberally to a fund to assist him in getting a start again. A petition is being circulated asking the Board of Supervisors to pay a bounty for the scalps of coyotes as is done in some other counties where these varmints are troublesome. The Supervisors of Butte county at their last meeting rescinded their order to pay a bounty for the scalps of wild animals, but their reason therefor is not given. “Pseudonomaniacs” is a term used to designate a person of unsound mind who is incapable of telling the truth. The word was used in a trial in Los Angeles the other day and brought down in the cars while yet fresh by Deputy Sheriff Tyler. The combined effects of the flood and the word proved too much for the track, and there hasn’t been a through train since. The nuwelcome appearance of half a dozen hungry, dirty and impudent tramps is noted. For the benefit of the fraternity the Town Marshal has had a hundred copies of Anaheim’s celebrated Tramp Law printed. This law is more efficacious than a shot gun or a double-barreled bulldog. No trump was numbered at that place was innumerated, and the piles of lumber do not present the neat and ship-shape appearance which characterized them before the visitation. The damage in North Anaheim and Orange thorpe district was confined to the roads along which the water swept in great volumes. A lot of firewood piled near Mr. McDermont’s gum grove was swept away, but the same sweep of water passed over a broken and irregular piece of his land, filling it with rich sediment and leaving it as level as a barn floor, in which fact the gentleman finds ample compensation for the loss of his wool. The past week has been one of practical isolation from the outside world. The mail came through all right on the night of the 15th, but on Saturday morning the track had the drops—too much water, and outside communication was cut off. Some few letters reached here by devious ways on Tuesday night, and on Thursday night a bag of newspapers was received that had been lying at Norwalk since Sunday. On Thursday foremen Mr. French, the Santa Ana postmaster, went to Los Angeles in a tour horse team, and courteously stopped here and took forward the accumulated letters. The track between Anaheim and Los Angeles might be called one vast break—only worse at some places than at others. Where it crosses the old river bed, just north of town, over 200 feet of the embankment was washed away, leaving the rails and ties suspended in midair. This break was not repaired until Thursday morning. The bridge over New River and innumerable smaller culverts and bridges are either gonads entirely or very sick, and it will, we are informed, be a day or two before the track will be in sufficient repair to permit the passage of a train, although the company have a large force at work. We are indebted to Mr. E.S. Saxton for a record of the rainfall for eight years preceding the present season: 1875-1876 ..... 12 inches 1876-1877 ..... 4" 1877-1878 ..... 17" 1878-1879 ..... 4" 1879-1880 ..... 14" 1880-1881 ..... 7" 1881-1882 ..... 7" 1882-1883 ..... 6" 1883-1884—to Feb. 18 ..... 14:15:16 Ed. Gazette — As the water was running over Mr. L. Parker’s alfalfa last Monday morning his grandson discovered a large fish and tried to catch it, but not succeeding he called for help. Several tried to catch it but the water was so deep that the fish eluded them. After the boy returned from school he looked after the fish, saw it, pulled off his shoes and stockings, waked in and caught it, but not till it slipped from his grasp several times. Bringing it up to the house alive it was weighed and tipped the scales at eight and a half pounds.

For the benefit of the fraternity the Town Marshal has had a hundred copies of Anaheim's celebrated Tramp Law printed. This law is more efficacious than a shot gun or a double-barreled bulldog. No tramp was ever known to read it and remain in this vicinity. The Anaheim and Santa Ana water controversy is again in the courts, although the consolidation of the water rights was supposed to have settled it. After the 250 inches due to the Yorba rancho had been taken out, the Anaheim ditches want half the water, but the Santa Ana people won't agree to it and want more than half of it. Express. Wrong again, as usual. Anaheim has no case in the courts with the Santa Ana company or any other company. No consolidation has been effected or attempted with the Santa Ana company. With these trifling corrections the Express paragraph is correct. The call for a Township Sunday School Convention, to be held Feb. 15th, was not responded to as it would have been had there not been so severe a storm. There were present, however, delegates from four schools and the association was formed under the name of the Anaheim Township Sabbath School Association, including all the territory between the Santa Ana river and Coyote creek, and between the foothills and the ocean. Mr. G. C. Mack of Westminster was chosen President, Mr. C. B. Hitecook of Garden Grove Vice President, Mrs. B. H. Bancroft of Orangethorp Treasurer, Mr. K. A. Saxton of Anaheim Secretary. Meura Merrill and Hanly of the Los Angeles County Association were present and added much to the interest of the Convention. SHILOH'S VITALIZER is what you need for Constipation, Loss of Appetite, Dizziness and all symptoms of Dyspepsia. Price 10 and 75 cents per bottle. Sold by Wm. M. Higgins. County Clerk Potts has issued the following important notice to voters: "Notice is hereby given that in accordance with the provisions of Section 1094 of the Political Code, and an order of the Board of Supervisors, made February 8th, 1884, a re-registration of the voters of Los Angeles county has been authorized, by reason of which all names on the former Great Register thereof are canceled." All of which means that every voter who desires to vote at the next election must have his name again placed upon the Great Register. In accordance with his usual custom, the County Clerk will doubtless appoint deputies in the various precints, to whom application for registration can be made. Mr. Theo Rimpan is the deputy in Anaheim. To the Public. Please bear in mind that this is the last season that I will carry any toys, crockery, glassware, lamps, etc. I will close them out below cost. This is bona fide, and no business trick. Also a fine lot of candies at low prices. I will rent part of my store after New Year. Come one, come all. Frank Ev. The U. Water Company. The first regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the above named company was held on last Saturday. The following articles of agreement were ratified: Articles of Agreement made this fifteenth day of February, A.D. 1884, by and between James W. Shanklin of Oakland, county of Alameda, State of California, the party of the first part and the Anaheim Union Water Company, a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of California, the party of the second part, Witnesseth, that the party of the first part for the purpose of effecting the consolidation of the water companies known as the Anaheim Water Company, Cajon Irrigation Company and North Anaheim Canal Company, and the transfer of their water rights and properties to the Anaheim Union Water Company as their successor and for other proper purposes, does hereby convey and transfer to the party of the second part the right which the party of the first part by contract with the Cajon Irrigation Company heretofore acquired from the said Cajon Irrigation Company of purchasing water at stockholder's rates for irrating any part of the land known as the Shanklin tract, without being required to hold the Company's stock therefor; and the party of the second part in consideration of the relinquishment of said right, which he hereby does, and the further consideration of the right of way for the ditch already constructed on the land of the party of the first part and for any other ditch which the Anaheim Union Water Company may deem necessary or proper for its business to construct on said land, and for so much of said land as it may deem proper to appropriate and use for a reservoir adjacent to the land on the Kraemer tract which was conveyed to the Anaheim Water Company for a reservoir, hereby agrees to pay to the said J. W. Shanklin the sum of thirteen thousand ($130,000.00) dollars as follows, to wit: Five thousand ($5,000.00) dollars cash on the 1st day of March, 1884, and the balance, to wit: Eight thousand ($8,000.00) on or before one year from date with interest from date at the rate of nine per cent. per annum, and also hereby grants to him the use of water for domestic and stock purposes free from any charge therefor from any of said Company's ditches which may cross his land, but on condition that water for said use must be taken or used in such manner as not to pollute the water or endanger or injure the works or property of said Company. It is further agreed that the amount of water to be furnished to said party of the first part as aforesaid shall not exceed twenty thousand (20,000) gallons per day, to be delivered to the party of the first part on the main ditch or any branch ditch of the Company on the Shanklin tract; provided, Destruction of Property in Los Angeles. At 10:20 on Sunday morning the Los Angeles river began to overflow, the rush of water from the Tejunga and Verdugo Canyons and the Arroyo Seco being too great for its capacity. The debris which has for years been dumped into the river stemmed the current and diverted it among the houses in the district bounded by Macy, Georgia and Alameda streets and comprising Alameda, First, Banning, Center, Sainsevain, Sepulveda, Lazard, Minnesota, Vignes, Garcia, Turner and several other small streets. Forty houses were washed away, and a number of others were undermined and only kept from falling by props. The houses which were carried away were broken up into piecemeal. The greatest number of disasters occurred below Aliso Avenue, in the thickly populated settlement fronting on the west bank of the river. Unfortunately the houses destroyed in that district were mostly owned by poor people, and in most instances the dwellings represented their entire wealth. The flood came so suddenly that no opportunity was given to remove furniture, and in nearly every instance all that was saved was what the inmates could grasp in their arms. At one time the water was fully four feet deep on Alameda street. The loss of property is estimated at from $150,000 to $200,000. This we assume, does not include the damage done by the washing away of lots, uprooting of vines, trees, etc. The destitute and homeless were provided for by a relief committee organized by the citizens. All the bridges across the Los Angeles river were swept away except the covered bridge, and it is "wobbly." George Stoltz, a milkman, attempted to cross the Los Angeles river near the Arroyo Seco on Monday morning, but his wagon was swept away and Stoltz, after being swept along by the fierce current for half a mile, was seen to throw up his hands and sink. This is only fatal casualty reported, although there were several narrow escapes from drowning. The Los Angeles papers contain detailed and graphic accounts of the destruction of Death of Theodore Lynill. Theodore Lynill died very unexpectedly on last Monday evening in his room at the hotel. While conversing with some friends about six o'clock in the evening he suddenly sank back in his chair in a state of coma from which he did not recover for some time. When he did recover he was assisted to his room and placed upon the bed. A short time afterwards a friend entered the room and found him dead. Mrs. Lynill was visiting her parents in Los Angeles at the time, and could not reach here before Tuesday evening, on account of the break in the railroad. He was buried on Wednesday morning from the Episcopal church, Revs. Sheridan and Emery officiating. The church was filled during the services, and the body was followed to the grave by a long procession of people. The members of Evergreen Council No. 808, American Legion of Honor, acted as pall bearers, the deceased being a member of that society. Mr. Lynill was one of the most brilliant men we have ever met. His natural talents, assisted by a thorough education, fitted him to shine as a member of the legal profession, and had he chosen a wider field wherein to operate, his name would doubtless ere this have been familiar throughout the State. As a speaker he was logical, felicitous and witty, with a phenomenal command of language. One of his most marked traits was his thorough liking for Anaheim, and he was its defender and champion at all times and under all circumstances.* He had friends and he had enemies, but when the inevitable occurred, all with one accord united to do him reverence and spoke kindly of his memory and admiringly of his abilities. The society of which he was a member has adopted resolutions expressive of their regret at the death of their comrade. Trees. Trees. Since the rain, orders innumerable have been received by Mr. T. Carroll, of the Anaheim Evergreen Nursery, for the thrifty trees for which the nursery is famous. But he has yet on hand a very large assortment of Monterey Cypress, Blue Gum, Northern Fruit trees and many kinds of Ornamental trees. All his trees were grown here, and are consequently free from disease and scale. The nursery is located 200 yards west of the Eight thousand ($80,000) on or before one year from date with interest from date at the rate of nine per cent. per annum, and also hereby grants to him the use of water for domestic and stock purposes free from any charge therefor from any said Company's ditches which may cross his land, but on condition that water for said use must be taken or used in such manner as not to pollute the water or endanger or injure the works or property of said Company. It is further agreed that the amount of water to be furnished to said party of the first part as aforesaid shall not exceed twenty thousand (20,000) gallons per day, to be delivered to the party of the first part on the main ditch or any branch ditch of the Company on the Shanklin tract; provided that it for any reason not sufficient water be flowing in the said main ditch or branch ditches, no penalty or liability shall attach to the party of the second part for a failure to deliver said amount of water during such time of security. H. C. Kellogg was appointed Civil Engineer of the company, at a salary of $6 per day when actually employed. It was ordered that all distributing gates hereafter built be built at the expense of the party requiring them, and under the direction of the company's engineer. In view of the fact that a large amount of work would devolve upon the Secretary during the first months of the company's existence, the resolution adopted at the previous meeting regarding the salary of that official was rescinded, and the salary was fixed at $50 per month for six months, beginning February 1st. The Board then adjourned until Saturday, March 1st, at which meeting the engineer will make a report setting forth the preliminary steps necessary to be taken in the matter of the construction of the reservoir. It is the wish of the Board that all who are entitled to certificates of stock in the company should receive the same from the Secretary at as early a date as possible. When the certificates are so issued the Board will call a general meeting of stockholders for the purpose of revising the by-laws. The manner in which the by-laws already adopted can be altered or amended is set forth in the following clause: The by-laws of this company may be altered or amended at any meeting of the stockholders by a vote of those who in the aggregate represent two-thirds of the capital stock issued; but notice of such intention shall be filed by the Secretary at least twenty days previous to such meeting, and the alterations proposed shall be substantially as set forth in said notice. If, therefore, any stockholder has any idea which he desires to incorporate into the by-laws of the company, it would be well for him to file the same in the Secretary's office at once.

The false prophet in Egypt, El Mahdi, through his war of destruction against "the unbelievers," will be the cause of a marked decrease in the consumption of gum drops in a very short time. On account of the war in the Saudan, the gum Arabic cannot be taken to or from Kharstown, the depot for this product, and in consequence there is a shortage in the supply. A manufacturing confectioner in New York says that gum Arabic which up to a few months since sold easily at eight cents a pound, now had advanced to twenty-four and would go even higher in a very short time. Chemistry has provided a kind of a substitute for this product in a material called dextrine, but for a great number of the productions of the confectioner it cannot be used. Hence fancy articles in the candy line will soon command fancy prices and eventually disappear entirely unless the Equisetum morifolium ore branee The society of which he was a member has adopted resolutions expressive of their regret at the death of their comrade.
