WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY... NOVEMBER 21, 1885 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. AMERICA has sent some giant cheeses to England for the Christmas season. They weigh from a ton to a ton and a half each. RIEL, the Canadian rebel, has been judicially (and judiciously) hanged. The gibbering fanatic can do no more harm, and the effort to canonize him reflects little credit upon the great number of Canadians engaged in the attempt. CHARLES A. WETMORE, Chief Viticultural Officer, has been making an extended trip through the wine-growing regions and reports that there will not be wine enough made to last through the season, and predicts, in consequence, very high prices at the beginning of next year. Up to Oct. 10 the shipment of grapes from Vineland, N. J., exclusive of the grapes made into wines, and when the crop was not yet all harvested, aggregated nearly 1,400,000 pounds. After deducting freight, commission etc., the price netted by the growers was about $30,000 for the number of pounds mentioned—a trifle over 2 cents a pound. OREGON has chosen the worst kind of a Mugwump as Senator. His name is J. H. Mitchell, and he was elected by the votes of 38 Republicans and 17 Democrats. The latter justify themselves in voting for Mitchell (who is an alleged Republican) by saying that he has pledged himself to support the Democratic national administration in whatever may be required of him. Just how the Republicans justify themselves has not been yet stated. A MEETING of the sweet wine makers of BOARD of Supervisors. FRIDAY, Nov. 13. Measrs.

Just how the Republicans justify themselves has not been yet stated. A meeting of the sweet wine makers of this State was held in San Francisco on Monday. The object of the meeting was to discuss and devise some plan of operations by which revision could be obtained of the duty on all grape and fruit spirits used in fortifying wines, and also for the privilege of breaking bond packages of brandy made from grapes and other fruits. The matter was referred to a committee consisting of Messrs. Charles Kohler, L. J. Rose and B. Dreyfus, and the meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the chair. The Fish Commissioners of this State are warring with expediting vigor. There are three of them, and the old alage that two is a company and three is a crowd, receives fresh verification in this ruction. Redding, who is evidently not in "the ring," charges his fellow commissioners with misappropriation of funds, incompetence and various other crimes and misdemeanors. The whole business looks scaly, and the investigation which Mr. Redding asks the Governor to order will probably show gross mismanagement of the affairs of the commission. In consequence of the scarcity of specie, the Young Women's Christian Association and the Sunday-school of the Central M. E. Church of San Francisco propose to introduce a new circulating medium. They intend to have a Thanksgiving entertainment, to which the price of admission will be a potato or an apple. Those who happen to be short on agricultural products may buy them at the door for five cents each. Anything else acceptable to the poor will be received. The affair will take place on Tuesday evening, Nov. 24, at the church, on Mission street, between Sixth and Seventh. The old saying that when a woman once puts her foot down no power on earth can move it contains more truth than poetry when applied to Miss Fannie Mills of Ohio, now the bright and shining light in a New York museum. Miss Mills is warranted to have the largest foot on earth. She wears a No. 30 shoe, and whenever she is pleased to set her foot down it will certainly settle the question under discussion as well as the fate of any form of animal life that is unfortunate enough to be underneath. She sits on her throne in the museum modestly endeavoring to cover her feet with her skirts, but the effort is vain. The shoes will peep out. Hearing of the matter of the San Gabriel street railway set for November 27th. Tuesday, Nov. 17. The clerk was directed to notify members of the late Grand Jury, whose bills are not considered because not properly itemized, to properly itemize and re-verify the same and present them at the next regular meeting of the board.

A correspondent of the Los Angeles Times asked Superintendent Victor on Tuesday as to the new arrangement by which Atlantic and Pacific trains will be run directly into Los Angeles over the Southern Pacific road: "It will be of great benefit to this city," said Mr. Victor. "After the 28th of this month our trains will come directly to your depot." "How many trains will come in here daily?" "For the present, there will be a passenger train in and out every day, and a freight train in and out every day. The passenger trains will leave at 7 A.M. and arrive at 9 A.M." "Your trains will stop at all local stations, I suppose, and make a specialty of local business?"

"Your trains will stop at all local stations, I suppose, and make a specialty of local business?" "Yes; the additional trains will be of great benefit to local points, but the greatest difference between these two stations." We don't believe there ever was a more curious legal complication than that which has resulted from the dispute over the payment of the railroad taxes. First, the railroad declines to pay the amount demanded; second, it tenders to the Attorney-General the amount it thinks it ought to pay, agreeing to pay the balance claimed if the courts subsequently decide that it should do so; third, the Attorney-General accepts the railroad's money under these conditions, and endeavors to turn the money into the State Treasury, where it belongs; fourth, Controller Dunn, posing as a virtuous reformer, refuses to receive the money because it is less than the face of the tax; fifth, the Attorney-General deposits the money (about one million dollars) in his own name in the bank, and is harassed almost to death for fear the bank will 'bust,' or the cashier hit him to Canada; sixth, all this time the various county treasuries are seriously depleted by the withholding of the money, and the tax rates of the various counties are higher than usual this year in consequence of the broil.

A beer cask burst at the Salt Lake Brewery at Salt Lake, Utah, shattering the windows. A fragment of a stave struck Louis Boerig on the head, killing him instantly. George Anderson, eighteen years of age, son of the captain of the steamer Daisy, was drowned while hunting in a duck-boat in Steamboat slough, near Grand Island, on Sunday. Rogue Gonzales and Vicente Moraga, two youthful incendiaries, both under seventeen years of age, have been held for trial at Santa Barbara. The recent fires in that town have been traced to these boys. Hardin Linville of Goose Lake, Modoc county, sold a band of cattle the other day for about $1,000 in coin, and while on his way home near Willow Creek, was stopped by two highwaymen and robbed of every dollar.

Poor has been arrested. William Todd died recently at Helena, M.T., from the effects of a large dose of laudanum, given him by Michael McGovern "as a joke." The drinker was told that it was whisky, and being under the influence of liquor at the time, did not know the difference. The story of privation which induced Edna Bowers to attempt suicide two weeks ago to-day, by opening the arteries of her wrist, has touched the sympathetic heart of a rancher near Gilroy, named Hiram Wentworth. The young woman is at the International Hotel in San Francisco, and receives the tenderest care and attention. The good-natured countryman has written to her as a stranger, advising her against another attempt at suicide, and as a premium for her to continue living, offers her his hand and heart in marriage. He describes himself as a sober, industrious man of about 55, with a The Viticulturists. At a meeting of the State Viticultural Commission held in San Francisco on last Saturday, the Committee on Conference with the State University reported that many efforts had been made to come to an understanding with the Board of Regents as to the value of the work that might be provided for by the appropriation of $10,000 for the use of the two institutions. The Regents' Committee had refused to meet to consider any proposition excepting that which they had themselves adopted, denying any equal authority of the commission as to the manner of applying the fund, and also refusing to admit that any part of it should be used to pay the expenses of the State Analyst. A claim for expenses has been submitted to the Board of Examiners in regular form, with the request that it be paid out of the appropriation. This has been done to test the question as to the disposal of the fund. The committee asked for instructions as to further proceedings, and it was decided to advise with the Attorney-General. The commission unanimously agreed to urge upon the Congressional delegation from this State the importance of adopting the following recommendations: First—That the import duty on all fermented drinks be rated according to alcoholic strength. Second—That pure grape spirits may be used by our winemakers, in fortifying sweet wines to preserve them without tax, this privilege not to be extended to the use of other spirits. Wines so fortified not to exceed 22 per cent of alcohol. Third—That the internal revenue tax on spirits should be based on taxation on consumption, not on production; that if any limit be placed on the time for which brandy may be kept in bond, it be so extended as to give producers ample time after their goods are fully matured to seek purchasers; and that it is the duty of the Government to protect customers against unwholesome new spirits by granting a rebate of at least 10 per cent on the tax for each year, not exceeding five, that brandy is kept in bond. Fourth—That further facilities be granted in bond for refilling packages under distillers' stamps. Fifth—That the existing law providing for the taxation of spurious and adulterated wines shall be enforced, or, if found defec- Los Angeles Markets.

An Augusta, Maine, woman, who is trying long walks to offset a tendency to obesity, reports that her weight has been reduced eight pounds in two weeks. The lumber operators of Maine, with one or two exceptions, have agreed to employ no man in the woods during the coming winter, unless he has recently been vaccinated. A court-martial recently condemned the Chief Surgeon of a Rhenish infantry regiment to nine years in the penitentiary for illegally letting off young men from military service. Alice Oates, who a few years ago was the reigning favorite in opera bouffe, and who played to crowded houses in the best theaters all over the country, is playing in a low variety theater in Baltimore, where beer is sold, and where the demi-monde resort. The Commission appointed by the Spanish Government to investigate the great Andalusian earthquakes last Christmas, report that 17,000 buildings were injured in Granada and Malaga, of which 4,400 were ruined; 745 persons were killed and 1,485 wounded. There were 578 pickpockets arrested at the Antwerp Fair. Classed by nationalities says a London Times writer, the Belgians occupy the place of honor with 234, but they are run hard by the Germans with 211; then follow 63 of Dutch, 33 of English and 14 of French nationality. The police of New York found Mrs. Albert Tribe and her two children dead in bed at their residence, 183 Grand street. The furniture of the room was meager and the cupboard bare of provisions. It was thought that the woman had poisoned herself and children. An explosion of nitro-glycerine in the house of farmer Albert Jones, at Auburn, Ill., Sunday, entirely destroyed the building. The family was absent, and it is supposed domestic cats, left in the house, while playing upset a can of deadly compound, which had been obtained for stump-destroying purposes, and had been left in an unprotected position.

The good-natured countryman has written to her as a stranger, advising her against another attempt at suicide, and as a premium for her to continue living, offers her his hand and heart in marriage. He describes himself as a sober, industrious man of about 55, with a ranch in the mountains. The young woman smiled on receiving the curious offer. Fifth—That the existing law providing for the taxation of spurious and adulterated wines shall be enforced, or, if found defective, shall be amended so as to prove an effective protection of consumers against imposition, and of producers against ruinous competition. The wine producers claim that Congress legislates to foster their industries, but does not intend to foster fraud and adulteration. The Internal Revenue Department should be preserved, not only as a source of income to the Government, but also as a means of discovering and exposing fraud and adulteration. Sixth—That an effective law should be passed so as to enable consumers to select and identify pure wines and brandies, and avoid compounds which they do not intend to purchase. Seventh—That the tariff on raisins should be raised, in accordance with the wishes of producers, expressed at the Fresno Convention, June 12, 1884. A Curious Case. Holliser, Nov. 13.—Richard Alexander, one of the persons arrested and charged with being concerned in the murder of Dr. Powers, made a written confession to the detectives last Saturday. The contents of the confession have been kept strictly secret. To-day Alexander's father, who was present when his son's statement was made, gives an account of it as follows: "John T. Prewitt was the principal instigator of the murder. He had long been at enmity with Powers on account of land matters. The confession allows us cognition of young Alexander, that Prewitt set fire to some of his ranch property, and attempted to place the crime on Powers, so as to create public feeling against him. Prewitt called a public meeting to take action against Powers but, as the evidence was not strong enough, his plan failed. He finally succeeded in influencing Dick Alexander, who makes the confession, S.P.Ashcroft, Andrew Irwin, Fred Fowles, Isaac Slavin and Marion Thompson to join him in a conspiracy to murder Powers, and implicate other citizens of Bear Valley and neighborhood, in order that their silence might be secured. A meeting of citizens was called for the night on which Powers was murdered. While Prewitt, Irwin and Alexander were on the road to the deserted cabin, where the meeting was to be held, they met Powers on his way home. Prewitt, who was armed with a double-barreled shotgun, on meeting Powers, ordered him to throw up his hands, and at the same time fired one barrel of the gun at him. This occurred at about half-past five in the evening. The horse which Powers rode continued on his way and, when it had gone about fifteen feet, Powers fell from the horse to the ground, dead. Prewitt, who was also mounted, rode to where the body lay and discharged the other barrel of the gun into Powers. Then he started for his house to get a rope with which to hang Powers' body. His two companions witnessed the shooting and also Slaven, who was stationed on the road as a spy on Powers' movements. The other conspirators were also stationed on the road. Business For Sale.

A man named Robert Jones occupied some land rented from his relatives. Charles and Edward Pressly. They notified him that as he could no longer pay rent he must vacate. To-day Jones went to the field where Edward Pressly, aged 80, and his sons, Charles and Edward, Jr., were ploughing, and shot Charles dead. Edward started in pursuit and Jones stabbed him mortally with a knife. Jones then went to the courthouse, entered the jail and surrendered, remarking that he had killed three of the best men in the country. This account is from the News and Courrier correspondent who visited the scene. Another account is that the Presalya went to the field where Jones was working and that Jones killed them in self-defense. An Immense Estate.

Somebody is comparing the size and cost of the Great Eastern and Noah's Ark. The cost of building and launching the Great Eastern was $3,650,000, and this broke the original company. A new company was formed, which spent $600,000 in fitting and furnishing her. Even this company failed, and a new company was organized, with a capital of $500,000. At the close of 1880 this company sank £86,715 upon the vessel, thus making her total cost $4,703,575. Nothing ever built can stand comparison with the Great Eastern, excepting Noah's Ark and even this vessel could not match her. The length of the Ark was 300 cubits, her breadth 50 cubits, and her height 30 cubits. The cubist of the Scriptures, according to Bishop Wilkins, was 21.65 inches, and computo English measurement, the Ark was 91 ft. beam, 54.7 ft. depth and The Great Eastern is 680 ft. beam, 56 ft. depth and 28,003 feet. So Noah's Ark is quite the Great Eastern. The Ancient and the Modern Ark The following figures concerning the Great Eastern and the Ark are of interest.
