WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...MAY 16, 1855 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. Any one who complains that the Administration is not making removals should bear in mind that during the month of April, besides the Foreign Ministers, Consuls and Bureau officers commissioned, there were 600 Democratic postmasters appointed. That is a pretty good record for one month, and a short month at that. Among the Washington gossip is a story of a disagreement between the President and his strong-minded sister. The latter retired from the White House about a week ago because, it is said, her principles, which are somewhat rigid, were not respected. Mrs. Lamont, wife of the President's private secretary, is proclaimed as the next lady of the White House. As announced last week, the work of counting the menys and securities in the United States Treasury at Washington was in progress, and the only deficiency found was two pennies. The count has now been completed, and the two pennies have been found in a corner. Evidence of Republican rascality must be searched for in other places than in the vaults of the nation. The project, oft broached, of a tunnel under the British channel to connect England and France, has again received a temporary quistus by an adverse vote in the House of Commons. The fear of a French submarine invasion, in case of any unpleasantness with that country, was the reason given for the opposition to the measure. John Bull is displaying inexplicable timidity of late. PROF. C. V. RILEY, entomologist of the Agricultural Department, says the country will soon be visited by two great broods of locusts of seventeen and thirteen year varieties, and that this will be the first time in 221 years that they have appeared in conjunction. They will not prove greatly destructive, and the injury they will inflict will probably be confined to fruit trees. The visitation will be prolonged until late in July. Two Malone Crime Loretto de Robles murdered his wife on Monday at their home on Los Virgenes ranch, thirty miles from Los Angeles. The murderer was captured by the Coroner and P. A. Yorba on Tuesday evening. At the inquest, M. Leonis testified: Loretto Robles came to my house about 7 p.m., May 11th. Seemed a little excited, and said he was mad with somebody. I asked him what was the matter with his finger, and he said he cut it while haying. We had dinner together, and then two or three glasses of wine. I asked what he had been doing, and he said he had killed his wife. Asked him how, and he said with a rifle, one shot. Said he had no pistol. He took a book from his pocket and said, "I want you to recognize this book, because there is a point in it that God and you and I can judge it; and with that point in it I will get clear." He asked me to swear to help him get clear, and I assented. At that time he was acting as if he was insane, because he thought I would help him to get clear. He told me he'd go to a justice and give himself up. He was laughing afterwards, and I told him he was crazy. Told him I'd have to view the body before going with him. He went off two or three miles and returned. I sent him to Encino to get rid of him. I then went to his house, viewed the body, and found his statement to be true. My opinion was the man was not in his right mind when he committed the deed, or for four or five months past. He has been drinking hard for the last four or five months. He bore a good reputation. Had had a few drinks, but was not drunk when at my house. The jury found that the deceased was killed by her husband. Robles shot his wife with a musket, the first ball taking effect near her right knee and lodging, after a circuitous course, in the hip. The direction taken would indicate that she was sitting down when first shot. She then seems to have turned to flee, when a second bullet struck the back of her head near the base of the brain, shattering her skull and went out through her chin, breaking both jaws, and of course killing her instantly. Robles is either insane or is playing the insanity dodge. He is very violent in jail. [Los Angeles Herald] John E. Hartell, a conductor on the S. P. R. R., left his home in Azusa early last Friday morning, leaving his wife and a boy aged about seven years. On Saturday the mother of Mrs. Hartell called at the house and receiving no response to her raps on the door. Effect of Hypodermite Injection Yesterday afternoon officers Griffiths said When brought to the Receiving Hospital man and a woman who appeared to be wilt sick. The man is Dr. Charles L. Piair who for some time past has had an office 8 Mason street, and the woman is his wife They were taken to the Receiving Hospital where they were examined by Police Surgeon Dennis. The man was talking incoherent and his wife seemed to be in dread that she was about to be placed in a cell. Both were afflicted with like symptoms and at first was supposed that each had taken poison this belief was strengthened by the statement of the officers that the man had been discovered insensible on a sofa in his office, and the woman moaning on the stairs leading to the office. Upon close examination the Police Surgeon discovered that their trouble arose from the use of morphia hypodermically injected into their bodies. Upon the body of each were hurt dredges of punctures produced by the instruments used to inject the drug. They were treated as their cases called for, and in short time were quieted. Before they received treatment the man insisted that he suffering from fractures of the ribs, while the woman complained that her back badly bruised in consequence of blows inflicted by some person unknown to her. An examination of each showed that no such injuries existed. The officers returned to their place from which they removed Dr. Pierce and his wife, and there secured all valuables which were turned over to the property clerk of the Police Department for safe keeping. In searching the room the officers found twenty-nine one-ounce vials which contained morphia, and it is probable that these had been used by the doctor and his wife Last evening Dr. Pierce became delirious and had to be taken to the Home for the Care of Inebriates. His wife was taken in charge by a lady friend, who took her to her own home. The doctor and his wife at one time occupied a good position in this community, but by becoming the slaves of opium they sank lower and lower until they became what they are now—terrible objects to look upon.-S. F. Call. A Small Society. 8 F Chronicle. Fish, flesh and fowl are tabooed by the Food Reform Society of this city, to which as yet the butchers have shown a remarkable indifference, notwithstanding its ob After a careful and thorough investigation of the supposed new disease discovered among the grape vines in Santa Clara county, specimens of which were sent to the State Board of Vitisulture by Father Cichi, of the Santa Clara College, the use of the microscope has shown in every instance that the blackening and subsequent withering of the leaves is not caused by any diseased conditions of the plants themselves, but are the result of perforation by minute beetles. Dickens has been much criticised for his apparent acceptance of the fact of spontaneous combustion, but Sir W. Gull lately testified to a surprising case before the committee of the House of Lords on intemperance. A large, blasted man, who was suffering from difficulty of breathing and great distention of the venous system, died at Guy's Hospital. At the post mortem of the following day there was no sign of decomposition, and the body was believed to be disended with gas. "When punctures were made into the skin," said Sir William, "and a lighted match applied, the gas which escaped burned with the ordinary flame of carburetted hydrogen. As many as a dozen of these small flames were burning at the same time." Bakerfield, May 7. Suits were commenced by Miller & Lux yesterday in the Superior Court of this county against the following canal companies: Kern River Land and Canal Company and Farmers' Canal Company, James and Busena Vista Canal Company and Pioneer and Goose Lake Canal Company. Plantiffs claim damages against these companies aggregating $75,000 because of water diverted by them from the natural channel of the Kern river, Buena Vista Slough and Old river, and because of the construction of wing dams for which they ask removal, with a perpetual injunction against their reconstruction. The success of these suits would convert extensive tracts of fine farming land into a desert. It is not generally known that a serious and desperate game is being played in Kern county by the rival claimants to water—the appropriators on one side and the riparian owners (Miller & Lux) on the other. The latter won a legal victory in securing a Supreme Court decision, but it has availed them little. The appropriators are numerous and desperate, and they have been and are now taking the water in defiance of law, and maintain an armed force to protect their ditches. The decision referred to was an outrage on commun sense, and that it is regarded is evident from the fact that the men who defy the enforcement of the judgment have the moral encouragement of the whole country in their lawless acts. John E. Hartell, a conductor on the S. P. R. R., left his home in Azusa early last Friday morning, leaving his wife and a boy aged about seven years. On Saturday the mother of Mrs. Hartell called at the house and receiving no response to her raps on the door, entered the house and found Mrs. Hartell in an unconscious condition, with her limbs hanging from the bed. The old lady then went to the bed of the boy and found him unconscious from the effect of some drug. The neighbors were then aroused and an investigation had. The imprint of a man's thumb and fingers was found upon the lady's throat. The victim lingered in an unconscious condition until Sunday when she died without uttering a word. There is but little doubt from appearances that the lady was first robbed, raped and then murdered. Mrs. Hartell went to Pomona on Friday and drew $200 in coin and a check for $100. As she was about to start home a young man, who claimed to be a drug clerk from this city, asked for a ride to Azusa. She told him she was alone and excused herself. She finally consented to let him ride, when the two started for home. When about half way home the buggy broke down. Dr. Ecklen coming along took both of them to Azusa. The young man stated that he was stopping at the Macy's place, but was formerly employed in a drug store in Los Angeles. The house was ransacked and the money taken, except about twenty dollars of the money which she brought from Pomona. Coroner McFarland will hold an inquiry this afternoon. The Justice of the Peace held an inquest, but as that was not in due form a legal inquiry will be held today, at which it is hoped additional particulars will be obtained that may lead to the discovery of the perpetrators of this human outrage. Detectives are hard at work trying to unravel the mystery and if possible capture the murderer. Burned His Head Off. David Wilson, colored, a prisoner at Columbus, Ohio, serving a twenty-year sentence for assault on a woman, made a horrible attempt at self-destruction in the pattern foundry at the penitentiary Tuesday afternoon. Wilson has been moody and depressed of late, and when called for work this morning he refused to leave his cell, and was only got out after a sharp struggle. About 2 o'clock he left work without permission, and went to the deputy warden's office. Being asked what he wanted, he replied: "I want a new head. I am tired of one I have on my shoulders and want another." He was taken back to the foundry and set to work again. He worked steadily until 3:50, at which time the molten iron leaves the furnace. A few minutes after it began to run Wilson darted forward and thrust his head up to his ears into a ladle of the molten iron. When removed to the hospital by a lady friend, who took her to her own home. The doctor and his wife at one time occupied a good position in this community; but by becoming the slaves of opium they sank lower and lower until they became what they are now—terrible objects to look upon.-S.

Fish, flesh and fowl are tabooed by the Food Reform Society of this city, to which as yet the butchers have shown a remarkable indifference, notwithstanding its object is the demoralization of their trade. This society hopes, among other things, to drive dyspapsia from the land. Though a dyspeptic appearance may not alter much after he becomes a convert to the reform diet, it is said that his temper and mental condition will be greatly improved. It is difficult as yet to tell whether the proposed vegetarian regimen tends to fatten or otherwise. At the meeting to have been held last night at 234 Sutter street, three members were present. One was a stout old gentleman, with a high color, who was evidently a new convert to the reform doctrine. The others were middle-aged ladies of a different mold and complexion. The society means to encourage the destruction of farinaceous foods and the exclusion of others, but it does not advise a too rapid change from a meat diet. Its aim also is to have meals of a vegetable character prepared in a manner to please and tempt the palate. Pies, pudding and tea are some of the dishes which the society favors. The Future of Silk Culture. New York, May 7.-The Tribune's Washington special says: Nesbit, Chief Clerk of the Department of Agriculture, says that of 3,000 letters received yesterday, at least one-fourth were applications for silk cocoons, mulberry leaves and information about silk culture. "My idea is," said Nesbit, "that this industry is destined to spring up among the farm women all over the country and give them that profitable employment which they lost years ago by the introduction of labor-saving machinery. The time was when they could weave and spin and churn but now they are virtually out of employment and I believe silk culture is going to be proper and profitable as well as pleasant. The tea culture business only as far as the raising of the plant is concerned, I understand one茶 farm in North Carolina is in splendid condition, but in this country we cannot begin to cure tea as they cure it in Japan and China, not only because we have no cheap labor, but because the elements do not seem propitious. Silk culture is the coming industry of the farm house." Nesbit added that there was yet a small supply of cocoons at the department. Jumped to Death. Baltimore, April 25.-Miss Mamie Evans, aged 17 years, died yesterday from the effects of excessive rope jumping. On Friday last Miss Evans was jumping rope, in company with some companions, in front of her home, 293 Ramsay street. She stated Much Writing in Little Space. [Philadelphia Ledger] The man who started the feat of writing as many words as possible on postal cards, and who used to boast of getting as many as 1,200 or 1,500 words in that space must now think that the only big thing about it was the writing. The last and best feat of the kind recorded in the "Varieties" was that of William A. Shaw, who succeeded in writing 3,962 words on a postal card (the eighth and part of the ninth chapters of the Gospel of St. Matthew) and this has stood until now his brother, P. A. Shaw, comes forward with a postal card on which he has written the same general down to the fourth verse of the tenth chapter, making 6,194 words. Mr. Shaw, who is private secretary to Provost Pepper of the University of Pennsylvania, says: "I executed the work with a very fine mapping pen, using the pen on the back in a great many instances, when I wanted to get a certain number of words in a certain space. It is not readable with the naked eye, although executed by me with thennaked eye. Says a Petaluma correspondent: Deleful stories continue to come in from the country, especially from the upper end of the county, where, owing to a drought and want of grass, the sheep are all poor and many of them dying of starvation. Further on, on Engle's ranch, Mandocino county, the report comes that from 5,000 to 8,000 sheep have died, and more will die. In that section grass-hoppers, the Hessian fly, moles and gophers are playing and havee, which together with the effects of frosts, are making an 'off year' of it, indeed. New York, May 11.—The following is from Bonfort's Wine Circular for April: Importations of Bordeaux wines during the month, 111,840 gallons in bulk and 20,221 cases, against 3528 gallons in bulk and 14,-849 cases in April, 1884. Since the 1st of January we have received 17,920 gallons and 2189 cases over the same time last year. German wines hold their own. The importations for the year so far are quite up to the average. California goods which should show a steady increase, seem awaiting the advent of better times. Receipts during April by the Isthmus were 75,055 gallons against 134,719 gallons last April, and 149,-582 gallons for the same month of 1883. Since the first of the year the receipts will amount to 280,639 gallons. Last year during the same time there were received 447,-360 gallons, and in 1883 337,686 gallons. Of brands the arrivals were 493 gallons, against 2115 gallons last April and 14,544 gallons in April, 1883. During the first four months of this year we received 3948 gallons, last year 7431 gallons and in 1883, 20,-893 gallons. The latest device for an ornament to a room is a gilded rolling pin, studded with gilt hooks, which is hung up by bright ribbons. The ornament is quite useful. Baltimore, April 25.—Miss Mamie Evans, aged 17 years, died yesterday from the effects of excessive rope jumping. On Friday last Miss Evans was jumping rope, in company with some companions, in front of her home, 293 Ramsay street. She stated that she intended to jump one hundred and fifty times without intermission. She had just completed her one hundredth jump, when she fell unconscious to the ground. She was carried home and medical aid summoned. The physicians could not restore her to consciousness, and after remaining in a comatose state until yesterday, she died. Just prior to her demise she turned almost black in the face and neck. Dieded was considered a strong healthy girl. She was exceedingly popular in South Baltimore. Six young ladies, Sunday-school scholars of the deceased, acted as pall-bearers to-day at her funeral. A Stupid Frank New York, May 7.—Exaggerated accounts were sent out by special correspondents last night of an affair which the Sun notices as follows: "Paul Boyton, whose inflations in the cause of an India-rubber company have made him for a long time a conspicuous annoyance wherever there was placid water, swam out on Monday night and affixed to the bow of her Majesty's ship Garnet a torpedo as harmless and as useless as one of his rubber suits. The officers of the Garnet, not knowing what they had to deal with, treated the matter seriously for a short time and handled Boyton summarily. Ascertainting that he was only, as it were, a Ross dynamiter, they let him off with a good shaking. It would be strange if this stupid and impudent prank were not treated this morning with fearful salinity by the whole London press. It furnishes several columns of advertisements in the shape of sensational accounts in our best morning journals and in the topic of the hour for our dynamitors and Anglophobists." A day afternoon officers Griffiths and Trought to the Receiving Hospital a woman who appeared to be very the man is Dr. Charles L.

April 25.—Miss Mamie years, died yesterday from excessive rope jumping. On Evans was jumping rope, some companions, in front Ramsay street. She stated to jump one hundred and about intermission. She had her one hundredth jump, unconscious to the ground, home and medical aid physicists could not restoreness, and after remaining in until yesterday, she died. Demise she turned almost and neck. Dieded was long, healthy girl. She wasULAR in South Baltimore. Six Sunday-school scholars of the pall-bearers to-day at her stupid Frank.

Ascertain-nally, as it were, a Rossa let him off with a gooduld be strange if this stupid bank were not treated this careful solennity by the whole firmishes several colonns in the shape of sensational event morning journals and is pour for our dynamiters and The most terrific storm ever known in Yreka, passed over that place Monday afternoon. In less than an hour 2.05 inches of water fell, deluging the streets and pouring through the roofs of houses as though they were covered with wire cloth. Vivid lightning and crashing thunder followed each other in rapid succession, terrifying the people. One house was struck. John Akers, an old resident of Ventura county, was killed while returning to his home on the Sespe from the village of Santa Paula. By some accident he was thrown from his buggy within 300 yards of his own house. His neck was broken, the buggy was also smashed up, and the horse which he drove had one of its fore legs broken. The body and the horse and buggy were close together when first discovered by children of the deceased on their way to school. The four-masted British ship Earl of Dalhousie, 1,677 tons, while being towed from one berth to another in the open bay of San Francisco, captized and sunk. The captain and crew were on board the vessel at the time of the accident, but it is not yet ascertained whether any lives have been lost. The vessel had no ballast in her and coming broadside to the heavy wind which was blowing at the time, careened over, filled and soon sank. It is the first time such an accident occurred in any harbor on the coast. The Chinese Regulation Act, passed in 1884, went into effect at Victoria, B.C., last week. It requires every Chinese, male and female, to pay a tax of $10 per head each year. Employers of Chinese must make a return of the Chinese in his employ, under a penalty of $100 for each case of neglect, and any person employing an unlicensed Chinaman must pay $50 fine. The use of opium, except for medical purposes is prohibited, under a penalty of $100 for each case. Ainsworth, on the Northern Pacific Railroad, has been depopulated, its population having removed to Pascal, which has been made a railroad junction. Even the Postmaster has gone, although he admits that he had received no authority to change his post-office from Ainsworth, but he stated in extenuation of his branch of discipline that, as all of his townmen had packed their trunks and moved their buildings to Pascal, he did not like to be left alone, and had followed the procession. Annie, found him lying on the ground by the fire. They dragged him to a place of safety, but in doing so their clothing caught on fire and they were so terribly burned that their recovery is considered doubtful. Hess was found by the neighbors and carried home. He will die. At Pittsburgh, May 12, Mrs. Annie Pershing, wife of W. C. Pershing, and daughter-in-law of Rev. Dr. I. R. Pershing, President of the Pittsburgh Female College, a prominent Methodist Episcopal educational institution, shot herself in the right temple and is now in a dying condition. Six weeks ago, while a student of the college, she married young Pershing. The marriage was clandestine, but subsequently there were satisfactory explanations for all concerned. A quarrel last night is said to have culminated in young Pershing going to Chicago. His wife started out to hunt him up to-day, and not finding him, returned to her home in Allegheny, where she shot herself. Mrs. Pershing is a daughter of a wealthy resident in Newcastle, Pa. She is 18 years of age and quite handsome. Capt. Kennedy of the steamship Germanic, was struck by a tremendous wave on the night of May 4th about 500 miles west of Fastnet. He was in the pilot-house and the spray prevented him from seeing the wave until it was about one hundred feet from the ship. It swept over the boat and rushed along the deck like Niagara. The top of the pilot-house was crushed in and fall on top of the captain's head, knocking him down and stunning him for a moment. The firmly-braced winch just abaft the forecastle, weighing a ton, was lifted and hurled into the hold; the rigging was carried away; all the compasses were lost and the railings were twisted into fantastic shapes. In his twenty years' experience on the Atlantic, the Captain says he never had seen such a wave. He believes the disappearance of many ocean tramps may be accounted for by such waves as struck the Germanic. When Baby was sick, we gave her CASTORIA, When she was a Child, she cried for CASTORIA, When she became Mine, she climbed to CASTORIA, When she had Children, she gave them CASTORIA. Everyone knows that the volatile, aromatic principle of an article will escape unless properly protected. Neither a chest once its lead lining is cut nor a paper package is a proper protection for tea. It is because Eola Tea is properly packed that its flavor and bouquet are so perfectly preserved.
