WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY... DECEMBER 19, 1855 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. Can it be possible that O'Donnell, the San Francisco coroner, has run the length of his rope? The Anti-Coolie League has denounced him for bad faith, and dethroned him from his position as Caucasian Avenger. The oblivion which enshrouds Kearney will soon wrap itself around the twin evil, O'Donnell. Imagine the feelings of the mine owners when this ludicrous fact was made plain: "For three months a large pump has been at work in the Grand Central mine at Tombstone, without diminishing the amount of water in the lower levels. It has just been discovered that the water pumped out found its way back into the mine, and was being simply handled over and over again." The present Congress has four or five one-legged stavesmen in the House and two in the Senate. Some of them go on crutches and others on artificial legs. Most of these missing legs, and several missing arms also, were left on the battlefields of the late war. Congressman Oats of Alabama, who has only one arm, served in twenty-seven battles and bears the scars of six wounds. The San Francisco Civil Publishers article based upon reliable information showing that there are in round numbers two hundred and fifty three thousand Chinese in California. Figures are furnished showing the number belonging to each of the Chinese Six Companies. It has generally been supposed that the number in this state did not exceed 100,000. The large excess over this number creates considerable surprise. Regarding President Cleveland's remarks on the silver question, the New York Sun sarcastically says: "The President, in his message, is plain in regard to the point, but far less emphatic than he was in his celebrated letter of last February. He still adheres to the absurd position that the supplanting of gold by silver would cause a contraction." The report of the Superintendent of the Life-Saving Service shows that that department of our Government is doing good work. The number of disasters to vessels during the year was 256, having on board 2,206 persons, of whom 2,196 were saved. The number of ship wrecked persons who received succor at the stations was 568. The estimated value of the vessels involved in those disasters was $3,519,550, and of their cargoes $1,084,905. Of the total amount $3,350,160 was saved and $1,237,695 lost. The number of vessels totally lost was 56. In addition to the foregoing there were during the year 115 casualties to smaller craft, such as sail boats, row boats, etc., in which were 233 persons, 232 of whom were saved. The property involved in these instances is estimated at $28,925, of which $25,823 was saved. There were 37 persons rescued who had fallen from wharves, piers, etc., and who would have perished without the help of the life-saving crews. The total loss of life within the scope of the service is the smallest ever reached since its general extension, except in 1880, when but nine were lost. Since that time, however, the field of operations has been greatly enlarged by the addition of 24 stations. The assistance rendered in saving vessels and cargoes during the year was larger than any previous year, except the last preceding, 366 vessels having been worked off when stranded, repaired when damaged, piloted out of dangerous places and similarly assisted by the station crews. There were besides 201 instances where vessels running into danger of stranding in the night were warned off by the signals of the patrol. The following table gives a summary of the statistics of the service from the introduction of the present system in 1871 to the close of the fiscal year. The loss of life, as stated below, includes 183 lost at the wrecks of the Huron and Metropolis, which are really not chargeable to the service: Number of disasters ... 2,918 Property involved ... $54,763,604 Property saved ... 36,277,629 Property lost ... 15,185,755 Persons involved ... 25,693 Persons saved ... 25,236 Persons lost ... 457 Persons succeeded at stations ... 4,822 Fatal Fires.

He still adheres to the absurd position that the supplanting of gold by silver would cause a contraction of the currency, though in the very next paragraph he speaks of the supply of silver dollars as an overflowing stream." How an overflowing stream of dollars can cause a scarcity of dollars we leave it for somebody wiser than we are to explain." The New York Star does not withhold from California its due need of praise. It says: "While far above the average of our States in all field products, in one California is easily the first," Indeed, in the production of fruit of all kinds, it is doubtful if any country of the world of equal size can compete with it. All that the fruit trade of this country now needs to double its value and give it the place due to its merits, is an organized system of distribution. Something has already been done in this direction. The California Union, the Florida Fruit Exchange, the Delaware Fruit Exchange and the Fruit Dealers' League of New York mark important steps in the right direction, and every encouragement should be given them." We wouldn't believe this story if we had not found it in the Riverside Press: "A little boy and girl of our acquaintance were overheard discussing the effects of the recent revival on themselves. 'We don't use any more slang words now, do we?' said one. 'No, by jumme, you just bet we don't.'" was the answer. At a recent gathering of little ones for the purpose of play, after the usual games one of them suggested that they have a prayer meeting "just like big folks." A new arrival was chosen to preside, and he had got well under way when happening to open his eyes he saw some of them standing instead of kneeling, which did not suit his ideas of propriety. "Kneel down there, go darn you!" said he. "this is no blamed Presbyterian meeting." The Vermont icicle, as Senator Edmunds is called, has a hobby. It is the extermination, root and branch, of polygamy. Until he took hold of the question, all legislation against the Mormons had proved futile, but since the enforcement of the so-called Edmunds bill, the Saints have been stirred up to the point of rebellion, and their anointed leaders have been sent to jail like the common herd. And now Senator Edmunds proposes to clinch, the nail he has driven. He has billed it. Fatal Fires OLYMPIA, W. T., Dec. 16.—This morning at Long Prairie, eight miles from here, a plorable event occurred, the particulars of which reached here to night. Mrs. Miner has for some time manifested symptoms of insanity, and according to reports she saturated paper with kerosene last night, and distributed it around the house, telling one of her children, on inquiry, that she was wetting it with water. Early this morning she made the remark that she was about to destroy the whole family, and her husband, fearing that she would attempt her life, proceeded to put her out of the room, but on opening the door discovered the house was in flames. Reaching the front door with one of his children, he found it locked and the key removed. Thereupon he ran to the back door and found it nailed up. Finally he and his little daughter succeeded in escaping through a window, but were both severely burned. The unfortunate woman and four children were burned to death. STARKVILLE, Miss., Dec. 16.—Jerry Bardwell, colored, yesterday left his house and locked the door, his three children being inside. The house caught fire and the children perished in the flames. At Plymouth, England, on Sunday, a teement house in a low, squalfal neighborhood took fire and a terrible calamity resulted. The flames burned rapidly and mercely, and when the fire was at last subdued twelve human bodies were found in the ruins. Two others are missing, and in all probability, they too have been burned to death. One unfortunate victim was smashed to pieces by jumping from a high window to the street. Several occupants of the burning building, in their fright, ignored the fire escapes and throwing their bending to the pavement forty feet below, jumped from the windows. A number of these bad their legs and arms broken by their fearful leaps. A harrowing incident of the calamity was the appearance of a youth flamed Bickford who, with a little sister gn one arm, hung suspended from a window by the other for some minutes until the flames surrounded him and caused him to lose his hold and fall to the ground. He had both legs fractured. The child was also severely injured. The intensity of the flames gave the building the appearance at a furnace, but this did not deter the firemen, many of whom entered the house and by a heroic struggle succeeded in rescuing several persons. DETROIT, Dec. 16.—The residence of Frank Knox, in the village of Woodmore, was entirely destroyed by fire this morning; and Knox, his wife and two children, aged three years and nine months respectively, were consumed. The fire was caused by a lamp being accidentally overturned. Appropriations for California The Vermont icicle, as Senator Edmunds is called, has a hobby. It is the extermination, root and branch, of polygamy. Until he took hold of the question, all legislation against the Mormons had proved futile, but since the enforcement of the so-called Edmunds bill, the Saints have been stirred up to the point of rebellion, and their anointed leaders have been sent to jail like the common herd. And now Senator Edmunds proposes to clinch the nail he has driven. He has a bill prepared which proposes that the Act of the Legislature of the State of Deseret, under which the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was incorporated, shall be repealed and annulled, and that the temporal affairs of the church shall be managed by a Board of Trustees to be appointed by the President of the United States by and with the consent of the Senate, and shall close up the institution as rapidly as possible under direction of the Secretary of the Interior. The Attorney-General is directed to institute and prosecute proceedings to forfeit and escheat to the United States all property owned by the Mormon Church, except the buildings used for public worship, and the Secretary of the Interior is directed to sell and invest the proceeds for the benefit of the public schools. The laws organizing and creating "The Perpetual Emigrant Fund Company" are also annulled, and the Attorney-General is directed to dissolve the corporation, to pay its debts, to dispose of its property and devote the proceeds to the benefit of the schools. The Legislature is forbidden to create any company or association for the purpose of bringing immigrants into the Territory. Christmas trees by the thousands are being prepared in the woods of Maine for the New York market, and many carloads have already been forwarded. Five dollars a thousand is given as the price paid for the about six hundred trees... Almost IncredibleSAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.—One of the most sensational and startling plots for the wholesale assassination of the most prominent men of this city came to light here tonight. Some time ago the police obtained information of the existence of an organization called the "Socialistic Revolutionary Association," which, it was asserted, was composed of ultra-socialist members. A close watch was kept on their movements, and the police finally succeeded in obtaining the minutes of one of their meetings, held November 231. From these facts it was discovered that it was the intention of the association to put out of the way about twenty men, including W. T. Coleman, Congressman W. W. Morrow, General W. H. L. Barnes, Mayor Bartlett, United States Judge Lorenzo Sawyer, Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, Governor Stoneman, the principal police officials, and several others. These names were placed on the "proscribed list," and placed in the hands of the Executive Committee to carry out the orders of the association. The committee were to devise the best mode of accomplishing the ends of the base plot, and were thus engaged when their work was brought to a sudden termination to night by the discovery of the association's headquarters at 900 Montgomery Avenue by the police, and the arrest of four men found therein—Julius C. Koesher, Henry Weiseman, Charles Mittelstadt and Oscar Egger. In the room was also found a complete laboratory for the manufacturing of infernal machines. The men were taken to the city prison where they boldly asserted that they were dynamiters and that their purpose was to get rid of the citizens named, and then raze Chinatown. The prisoners also belong to the German branch of the Anti-Coal League. No charge as yet has been entered against the prisoners. Further developments are expected. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.—The cases of the four dynamiters, Weissman, Koesher, Mittelstadt and Eggers, came up for hearing in the police court this morning, and on request of counsel for the defendants, all the cases went over until Monday next. District Attorney Wilson will present the entire matter of the dynamite plot to the Grand Jury, and an effort will be made to indict others known to have been concerned in the affair, besides the prisoners, on An Architect's Opinion. Mr. Edward Sidel was the chief assistant to the architect for the Exposition Buildings at New Orleans. He writes that he used St. Jacobs Oil with the best effects in a severe case of rheumatism, and recommends it to all similarly afflicted as the quickest and most certain remedy. NEW ADVERTISINGMENTS.

The Grand Jury will meet to-morrow afternoon and consider the facts brought forward. Encouraging Predictions. San Francisco, Dec. 16.—H. P. Livermore, President of the California Fruit Union, in a letter to the Bulletin this evening draws attention to the excellent outlook for California fruits in Eastern markets. He states that heretofore difficulties of shipments have prevented anything like an adequate supply reaching those markets, but now, under the atypics of the new organization, the freight question may be considered as definitely settled, as increased facilities for shipment will be afforded California producers. The writer states that California can ship cherries, peaches, pears, plums, apricots and nectarines to the East weeks before the supplies there are ripe. Mr. Livermore refers to the difficulties and expenses of grape culture among Eastern raisers, and the alarm and disgust of the latter at having to sell them at five cents per pound. He says that California growers can lay down grapes of the choice quality and much preferable to Eastern grapes in the Eastern markets at a price that hardly sustains the Eastern growers, and yet make a profit. The writer concludes by saying: "Eastern growers of grapes for the market may well despair in competition with those of California, now that cheap freight and good business methods promise to open the markets of the East to the latter." Honorably Acquitted. San Francisco, Dec. 16.—W. S. Moore and A. E. Sepulveda were examined before United States Commissioner Sawyer to-day on charges of unlawfully obtaining money for carriage hire from the government while Deputy Collectors of Internal Revenue in Los Angeles. Moore was lately succeeded by Sepulveda, whom Collector Ellis appointed. A special agent on examining their vouchers found six made out entirely in the handwriting of some clerk in the office, although bearing the names of different men as having received thereon. These six were filed during Moore's incumbency. Sepulveda had charged nine dollars for carriage hire on days when he had ridden out in the vehicle of another official, for which he paid nothing. Moore explained that he NOT FOR SALE! The Anaheim Wagon and Carriage Factory. In answer to a rumor which I bear is being circulated, to the effect that I am offering my business for sale, and intend to leave Anaheim, I desire to emphatically say that my business is not for sale at any price, and that I will continue the blacksmith and wagon making business as heretofore, doing the best work at the lowest price. I take this opportunity, also, of returning thanks to my many patrons for their past favors, and assure them that I will continue to endeavor to merit their patronage. JACOB YAEGER. Pacific Coast News. Sacramento Supervisors have re enacted the ordinance paying a reward for the killing of coyotes, wildcats, foxes, etc., as they are increasing fast in the county. There is a milk famine at San Diego, and the steamer Oriental was obliged to sail the other day without being able to obtain so much as a quart for the use of her passengers. Some benevolent person in Sacramento sent a poor widow a load of wood one evening recently, but during the night every stick of it was stolen from in front of her door. Thousands of young grasshoppers have been hatched out on the plains near Traver. Tulare county. It is thought they will all be killed by either rainy or frosty weather, so there is not much apprehension of damage from them. A man named Potterton, residing near St. Helena, traced a skunk into the cellar of his residence last Thursday and fired at it. The bullet struck a can of blasting powder, which blew off one side of the house, besides burning Potterton and his two sons very severely. SANTA CLAUS HEADQUARTERS. Just received by R.
