WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...MAY 8, 1896 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. Arcadia The Arcadia Land and Water Company is the name of a corporation that was organized in Anaheim on Tuesday. There are 500 shares of stock in the corporation, all of which have been taken by the following gentlemen: Ex-Governor Samuel Merrill, Iowa President; George L. Joy, Vice-President; R. B. Taylor, Treasurer and Superintendent; W. A. Witte, Secretary; A. Rimpan. The last-named three gentlemen are well-known citizens of Anaheim, in whose success a lively interest is felt. Arcadia, the felicitious name given to the projected settlement, is a part of the Sierra Rancho in San Bernardino county. A narrow strip of the San Jacinto Rancho separates Arcadia from the well-known settlement of Arlington. The company owns 14,000 acres of land, all of it irrigable and fertile. They secured by purchase all the waters of the Temescal Canyon, giving them a flow of over 2,000 inches of water—quite sufficient for the uses of the settlement. The subdivision of the tract will begin at once, a hotel to be built and other improvements will be pushed to completion with all energy. Applications for a number of tracts have already been placed on the books of the company, and there is every prospect that in a twelve-month Arcadia will be a populous and flourishing community. Petroleum Items. There is continued and intense excitement in regard to petroleum in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. A company of San Francisco capitalists are prospecting for oil in the Sespe region, while the great Standard Oil Company are very busy in prospecting the oil basins on the rancho of Hammel & Denker and Rancho La Brea. The continued development of oil in La Puente and Petrolia is very gratifying. A well has been recently bored near Santa Paula in Adams' Canyon, Ventura county. Riot and Bloodshed in Chicago Chicago, May 3.—Shortly after 3 o'clock a crowd of socialists and others had worked themselves into a frenzy of excitement and started yelling towards the McCormick reaper works a half mile distant. The police were immediately telephoned for and soon arrived, and drawing their revolvers fired indiscriminately into the crowd. The crowd scattered in all directions. Five of the men were wounded and were carried from the scene. At 4:45 one hundred and fifty policemen were on the ground. Meanwhile the windows had been all smashed. The police had a great struggle with the crowd and many sore heads was the result. Chicago, May 4.—About 200 officers had been detailed to attend the meeting of Socialists to-day, and had been in the vicinity since the Socialists had begun to assemble. At the time when the bombs were thrown, the crowd had dwindled to less than a thousand. The utterances of the speakers were all of a most inflammatory character, however, and the hearers who still remained grew riotous in their demeanor. The police concluded to put an end to the disturbance, and advancing, ordered the crowd to disperse. At first the Socialists fell back slowly and, the speakers still urging them to stand firm, suddenly bombs were thrown. The police retorted instantly with a volley from their revolvers. The rioters, also answered with revolvers, with which, the sequel shows, they were well provided. The police fought gallantly, and, at last, dispersed the mob and cleared the market place. No estimate of the casualties of the mob can be given, but the police at the Des Plaines street station state that fully fifty of them were wounded. At 11 o'clock twenty policemen lay on the floor of the Des Plaines street station, all disabled, and probably half that number seriously. Others were reported to be still lying in the open square, either dead or badly wounded. There was rioting all over the city, resulting in the killing of several officers and citizens. Mayor Harrison has issued a proclamation forbidding gatherings on the street. Over $30,000 have been contributed by citizens for distribution among the families of the wounded policemen. A large number of Socialists have been arrested. Bay View, Wis., May 5.—A riot principally among Polanders, resulted in the death of five persons. A crowd of rioters commenced to form at 8:30 o'clock and moved toward the mills. Six military companies marched out of the grounds and were stationed in front of the works, and as the crowd approached, paying no attention to orders to halt, the dread word "fire!" was given and the crowd beat a hasty retreat. It was learned that five lives had been sacrificed and several persons wounded. One Petroleum Items. There is continued and intense excitement in regard to petroleum in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. A company of San Francisco capitalists are prospecting for oil in the Sespe region, while the great Standard Oil Company are very busy in prospecting the oil basins on the rancho of Hammel & Denker and Rancho La Brea. The continued development of oil in La Puente and Petrolia is very gratifying. A well has been recently bored near Santa Paula in Adams' Canyon, Ventura county, that yields 50 barrels per day. Others will be sunk in a short time. West of this city on La Brea the work of sinking oil wells has been begun by a Pennsylvania firm in good earnest. Messrs. Hammel & Denker will doubtless sink some wells in a short time on their portion of the oil basin in the Rancho Rodeo de Las Aguas. Oil gushes out of the rocks on this great rancho as it does in some of the hills in this city. The artesian well of Mr. Ivar A. Weid, in the Cahuenga valley, is flowing water and petroleum, while two wells sunk for water in this city have reached petroleum. On all sides the petroleum boom is spreading.—Herald. A Novel Use for Catalina. WASHINGTON, May 6.—Senator Fair, of Nevada, has written the following letter to the Secretary of the Interior, setting forth a plan for the settlement of the Apache question: UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON, April 10 To Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, Secretary of the Interior—DEAR SIR: I beg to inclose the pamphlet of which I spoke to you yesterday. By examining the map you will see the exact position of Santa Catalina Island. It is isolated and too far from the shore for any ordinary boat to reach it. My idea is that if the Apaches were put on this island they would require no guards, and all that would be needed would be a small steam-tender and crew to run between the island and the port of Wilmington for the purpose of communication and supplies. This would, in my opinion, of the Apache question at rest forever, would save the country many valuable lives and the government millions of money. The title to the island is perfect. As near as I can remember, the price asked by the owners is either $3 or $4 per acre. Owing to the location of the island, the climate is as mild and salubrious as can be found anywhere in the world. Should you look with favor upon my suggestion as to the value of this island for the purposes named, I shall be glad at any time to go more into detail with you upon the subject. I am yours. Very truly, [Signed] JAS. G. FAIR." To Burn and Plunder. NEW YORK, May 5.—The Sun's London correspondent had an interview, about the quarrels and troubles of Most and the other Socialists here, with the London President of the Revolutionary Socialists. The latter said: "You may say that it is true beyond Mary View, Wis., May 5.—A riot principally among Polanders, resulted in the death of five persons. A crowd of rioters commenced to form at 8:30 o'clock and moved toward the mills. Six military companies marched out of the grounds and were stationed in front of the works, and as the crowd approached, paying no attention to orders to halt, the dread word "fire!" was given and the crowd beat a hasty retreat. It was learned that five lives had been sacrificed and several persons wounded. One of the killed was a school boy who had his school books under his arm when he fell. CHICAGO, May 6.—There is a greater feeling of confidence apparent this morning in the ability of the authorities to preserve peace. The outlook continues threatening in certain quarters, and the police expect to be called upon to disperse riotous gatherings, but the arrest of a few Anarchists yesterday has insured a feeling that this element will not longer prove so troublesome, in view of the fact that the police now believe that all the leading instigators of the recent trouble have been caged. The collection of evidence against the conspirators is proceeding rapidly. No Grasshoppers This Year. Rural Californian. In June last we suffered serious damage in this State from the visit of myriads of grasshoppers. Although their visit was continued chiefly to north and central California, yet some damage was done in south California. A great many newly planted orange trees were denuded of their tender foliage, and in some instances killed, the bark being stripped from the trunk. It is generally believed now that we will not be troubled with them again this year. Albert Koebele, who is in this State as entomological collector, etc., for the department of agriculture, wrote recently to Dr. Eisen, of Fresno, as follows: "Last year's destructive grasshopper (caloptenus devastator) will in my opinion not appear in numbers this summer. Nowhere could I find their eggs. I visited the foothills east of Tulare. There they came from the north in large numbers for about three weeks, destroying everything. At the end of June and beginning of July they disappeared again, but left large numbers of dead behind, evidently the work of flies. Also found a few eggs at Caliente, yet not of the devastator. Some may have survived and produced eggs where food was abundant, but not before the end of September or beginning of October, and by that time but few could be living—the millions of parasites made life hard for them. I shall be greatly mistaken if the devastator appears again. We may safely say that for the next few years this one pest has disappeared." Is She a Worker of Miracles? The French woman who heals all classes of invalids at the Plaza, each afternoon, continues to be an object of great interest to thousands. She is a puzzle to the wisest professional men. "Here is a man who is troubled with tits," remarked the interpreter yesterday, pointing to an individual who had just taken a seat in the carriage. "He falls down every three minutes; he has not attached himself to a presentation forbidding gatherings on the street. Over $30,000 have been contributed by citizens for distribution among the families of the wounded policemen. A large number of Socialists have been arrested.

[Signed] To Burn and Plunder New York, May 5.—The Sun's London correspondent had an interview, about the quarrels and troubles of Most and the other Socialists here, with the London President of the Revolutionary Socialists. The latter said: "You may say that it is true, beyond question, that the principles of the Anarchist party comprise burning and plundering the property of capitalists. That is its cardinal principle." "Would you take a house, have it insured, and set it on fire to obtain the amount of the insurance?" "Well, houses belonging to capitalists and to insurance companies, they being likewise composed of capitalists; the burning and plundering are natural sequences." Victor Dair, a leading Socialist, made a similar statement. The kerosene lamp as a source of income has about had its day. It is charged that the exchequer of the Anarchists in New York was fed by insurance money collected by members of the order who were singularly unfortunate in the matter of fires. "These facts," says the report, "which have been gleaned after considerable difficulty, show that the leading members of the International Working People's Association have been remarkably unlucky men. In connection with their extraordinary doctrines, the curious fires from which these gentlemen have suffered are interesting. They have all originated in the upsetting, breaking or exploding of kerosene lamps, and have resulted in more or less damage to the property of others than Anarchists, and in the collection of more or less insurance money each time by persons in whose apartments the fires occurred. The Sun then publishes a long list of Anarchists whose worldly goods have been destroyed by fire. All have been so fortunate as to secure ample insurance a few days before the kerosene lamp exploded. Is She a Worker of Miracles? The French woman who heals all classes of invalids at the Plaza, each afternoon, continues to be an object of great interest to thousands. She is a puzzle to the wisest professional man. "Here is a man who is troubled with tits," remarked the interpreter yesterday, pointing to an individual who had just taken a seat in the carriage. "He falls down every three minutes; he has not had an attack since he came into the carriage and time is up." Then the doctress examined him and gave him some medicine. Then came a little girl suffering from a hip disease. She had to walk with a crutch, and could put but one foot on the ground. She was operated upon, and in half an hour could use the deformed limb. A man came up and said he had been deaf for fourteen years. The patient's organs of hearing were examined with an instrument, and it was declared deafness was caused by a severe case of measles. This proved to be a fact. The medicine was applied and in a short time the man could bear quite well. An old lady was suffering from chronic rheumatism and could scarcely walk. Before she left the carriage she could use all her limbs. She laughed with joy and left apparently cured. So it goes. The money rolls in and the cured patients roll out. This remarkable person is transacting more business than half the doctors in the city combined. Who is wise enough to explain all this?"—Los Angeles Express. It was a wise step for Southern California to make an exhibit of its citrus fruits at Chicago. The display will do more to advertise the capabilities of the State than hundreds of descriptive letters. It has long been the fashion for Eastern people to put California in the second rank when talking of oranges, but Chicagoans will be able henceforth to realize that we lead Florida immensely. If a display of our best wines could be made in every city in the country, so that the people would get a knowledge of California wine in its state of purity, the prejudice in favor of foreign wines would soon vanish, and Americans would learn to speak with pride of the vintages of California.—S. F. Chronicle. The Railway Strike Ended. St. Louis, May 3.—Late Saturday night, Messrs. Hayes, Bayley and Barry, Executive Board of the Knights of Labor, met the Congressional committee informally, and the meeting led to the happy result of the Knights declaring the strike off. It is explained in the following correspondence: St. Louis, May 1.—To the General Executive Board, Knights of Labor: The testimony taken by the Congressional Investigating Committee conclusively shows that very serious losses to the commercial, agricultural and other interests of the country have resulted from the late trouble upon the lines of railway belonging to the Southwestern system and other railroads in the States of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas, and that by reason of said troubles large numbers of persons not directly connected therewith have been thrown out of employment. Unwilling at this time to express our opinions in regard to the causes which produced this lamentable condition of affairs, or to indicate where the blame lies for its continuance, and animated solely by a desire to render the best assistance in our power in endeavoring to restore peace, individual happiness and commercial prosperity to the citizens of the country, and particularly of the five States named; we do hereby respectfully but earnestly request you, as American citizen, having the welfare of our common country at heart, to advise, through the proper official channels, a discontinuing of the strike upon the railroads hereinbefore mentioned, and to leave the question whether the employees or officers of the corporations were justifiable to the decision that public opinion may form, when the Congressional Committee, which has that matter under consideration, shall have completed its work. Feeling assured that compliance with this request will meet for your Board and for those who may act in conformity with your counsel the approbation of the people of the United States, we are, your obedient servants, (Signed) A. G. Curtin, W. H. Crain, James H. Outhwaite, A. X. Parker, James Buchanan, J. W. Stewart. St. Louis, May 3.—Hon. A. G. Curtin, W. H. Crain, James H. Outhwaite, A. X. Parker, James Buchanan, J. W. Stewart—Your communication of May 1 was placed before the General Executive Board, and the following resolutions adopted: Resolved That on the communication from the Congressional Committee their request be granted, that the time for calling the strike off be left to the General Executive Board. In view of the fact that the business interest of the country is suffering, the Knights of Labor having the interests of the whole people at heart, willingly comply with the request of the Nation's representatives, and that of the citizen committee of St. Louis, and declare this strike at an end, NEW ITEMS. The Atlanta Constitution notes the fact that the conditions which preceded the Georgia ternadles of 1875 exist in that State this year. Early warm waves now, as then, betokened what followed. Several hundred lives were lost in Georgia in that storm year. Out of nearly two thousand men called as jurors to try Michael Mooney at Wankegan, Ill., for the murder of his cell-mate in the Julist Penitentiary, only ten have been found who have not already formed an opinion that Mooney is guilty and deserves hanging. Watseka, Ill., voted on the question of allowing cows to run at large in the streets. The cows were triumphant, and the local paper says: "The horned purveyors of laceal nutriment will continue to crop the succulent herbage and wage a ruinous competition with the town pump." Pratty Nellie Dusey of Grand Rapids fell in love with a gambler named Hickock, and as she had $8,000 he married her. After spending her money he deserted her. She followed him, and the other day met him on the street in St. Paul. He roughly repulsed her, and she fell dead at his feet. A young wife in Portland, Maine, was told by her brother that her husband gambled. She couldn't believe it, and to convince her the brother took her, dressed in a suit of his clothing, to a gambling house, where she saw her husband lose $400. Then she made herself known and marched her astonished husband home by the arm. In 1830 the sum of $11 was deposited in the New Bedford Institution for Savings, and in the course of time the whereabouts of the depositor was lost. Recently, however, it was ascertained that the heir of the depositor was a colored man residing in Toronto, Canada, and he has secured administrative powers, and has now withdrawn the deposit and accumulated interest, amounting to $272.

Stewart—GENTLEMEN: Your communication of May 1st was placed before the General Executive Board, and the following resolutions adopted: Resolved, That on the communication from the Congressional Committee their request be granted, that the time for calling the strike off be left to the General Executive Board. In view of the fact that the business interest of the country is suffering, the Knights of Labor having the interests of the whole people at heart, willingly comply with the request of the Nation's representatives, and that of the citizen committee of St. Louis, and declare this strike at an end, to take effect Tuesday morning, May 4th, 1886. Trusting that this action will meet with the approval of the public and assist in bring capital and labor into closer relationship, we remain very truly yours. The General Executive Board of Knights of Labor. [Signed] John W. Hayes. Brazilian Boycott The most extraordinary boycott in history was in Brazil some sixty years ago. It was no less than an attempt to boycott high Heaven on account of a drought. A translation from an official paper of the State of Morelos, Empire Brazil, published in 1820 in the town of Custhanas, is as follows: To the Mayor of the Town and Department of Custhanas: Whereas, Considering that the Supreme Maker has not acted right toward this province and town that only once in the whole of last year it rained a single shower, and that during all this winter, in spite of the religious processions, novenas and prayers, it has not rained a single drop, and consequently the crop of chestnuts, on which this department is dependent for its prosperity, has lost all. Resolved, First, that if, in the peremptory term of eight days, to be counted after the publication of this decree, rain does not fall abundantly, nobody will go to mass or say any prayers. Second, That if the drought still continues eight days more in addition, the chinchens and chapels will be set on fire, and missals and rosaries and any other object of devotion will be destroyed. Third, That if finally rain does not fall in a third term of eight days longer the clerics, monks, nuns and saintly women will be put to death; and at present ample time is given to every body to count their sins of every kind and description, and thus the Supreme Maker will certainly understand with whom He has to deal. The result of this pronunciamiento is not given. As Broad as it was Long Washington, May 3.—There is a new topic of gossip in town, which for the moment is almost as exciting in some qualities as "Ostler Joe." The wife of the new California Senator having invited that eccentric person, Chaplain Milburn, to entertain a company in her parlor on Wednesday last, the reverend gentlemen carried out his arrangement by delivering a discourse on the poet Goethe, which was quite as remarkable as any of his very remarkable prayers. Goethe, as everybody knows, was not only a great poet and philosopher, but a very enterprising and changeable lover of women, and there are chapters in his career that are hardly adapted for explanation in refined circles. Rev. Mr. Milburn, however, is said to have dwelt at length and with much freedom of expression on the great German's amatory experiences, and some of his amiable traits against the same, bearing 63 signatures, were read. Judge Tanner argued in favor of the petitioners and Col. Edwards for the remonstrants, and final hearing was set for May 10. A petition for and remonstrance against the incorporation of Pasadena were presented, and hearing set for May 11. J. W. Venable reported the bridge at Sanford's crossing completed, and the same was ordered accepted. Ordered that J. W. Venable be authorized to purchase the necessary willows to protect bridge at Sanford's crossing. The petition of citizens of Sepulveda for formation of Eagle Rock school district was granted with boundaries as recommended by the County Superintendent. The petition of citizens of El Monte and San Jose road districts for formation of Rowland road district was granted and J. W. Hudson was appointed overseer. Tuesday, May 4. The resignation of J. N. Jones, overseer of Newhope road district, was accepted and Wm. Lamb appointed to fill the vacancy. A communication from S. W. White relative to notice served upon O. W. Childs regarding poll tax of men employed on Los Feliz ranch was referred to the District Attorney. A warrant for $10 was ordered drawn on hospital fund for benefit of indigents. J. Swall's resignation as road overseer of Calhoun district was accepted. A communication from A. E. White, giving prices of stone pups for culverts, was referred to Supervisor Ross. A notification of the election of C. House, Joseph Mullin and H. J. Park as Fire Commissioners of Pomona was read and filed. The County Recorder was allowed two deputies for May at $100 each per month, and Messrs. Bray and Averill were approved as such deputies. Communications relative to insect pests were received from George Compier, E.C. Niedt, J.H. Lovering and James Lowe. A warrant for $75 in favor of A. Cobbler was ordered drawn as compensation for services as deputy tax collector in April. A communication from the Anaheim Union Water Company relative to expense of advertising notice of hearing on petition was read and filed.[The compiler declined to pay the bill, as the auditedness was incurred without its knowledge or consent.]—Ed. Wednesday, May 5. In the matter of the jail site, Supervisor Hinds moved that Mr. Burr be authorized to excavate until he finds a good foundation, and that the Board agrees to pay him for extra material and labor used in such work. Said wall to be twenty-five inches thick below the present grade. Report of viewers of the Eagle Rock road approved, and said road declared a public highway, and road overseer directed to open the same. In the matter of streets through the plaza at Orange, the petition was granted, petitioners to grade streets, build culverts, etc. On petition to abandon part of old Telegraph road, Messrs. Strong,Froel and Johnston appointed viewers. Mr. Markley, member of State Board of Equalization, appeared before the Board and a general discussion ensued regarding assessments of property. A further hearing will be had when State Board completes data for Los Angeles county. Thursday, May 6. Supervisor Hinds offered the following: Whereas, The bid of P. H. McGrew for iron work on the new jail did not embrace all iron work mentioned as "Separate iron contract," exclusive of all cell work as advertised for, and Whereas, Said McGrew refuses to enter Marine Hospital for WilmingtonSecretary Lawrence, of the Board of Trade, is in receipt of a letter from Congressman Markham, inclosing a letter to him from Dr. John B. Hamilton, Supervising Surgeon-General Marine Hospital Service, in which the latter says: "Referring to your letter of the 6th inst., inclosing a communication from Los Angeles Board of Trade, relative to a site for a marine hospital at Los Angeles, Cal., you are respectfully informed that, after consideration, in the light of a report of a surgeon of this service, sent as inspector, I am of the opinion that, if a marine hospital should be built in that district, it would be necessary to locate it at Wilmington." A condition of the establishment of a marine hospital at Wilmington is that a site for it shall be donated. It is probable that no difficulty will be experienced in securing the land. At the election of municipal officers in Hollister, the main fight was on town trustees, the question of high or low license being directly involved. There were 293 votes cast. The temperance people elected their straight ticket, three Trustees, Assessor, Treasurer and Marshal. The California Powder Works, near Pinola, Contra Costa county, is a thing of the past; 1,200 pounds of nitro-glycerine exploded on Monday afternoon, killing one white man and three Chinamen. On petition to abandon part of old Telegraph road, Messrs. Strong, Froel and Johnson appointed viewers. Mr. Markley, member of State Board of Equalization, appeared before the Board and a general discussion ensued regarding assessments of property. A further hearing will be had when State Board completes data for Los Angeles county. THURSDAY, May 6. Supervisor Hinds offered the following: That— Whereas, The bid of P. H. McGrew for iron work on the new jail did not embrace all iron work mentioned as "Separate iron contract," exclusive of all cell work as advertised for, and Whereas, Said McGrew refuses to enter into a contract to furnish all iron work mentioned as "Separate iron contract," as advertised for, for the sum specified in his bid, Resolved, First, that the order of this Board accepting said bid is rescinded; second, that the bid of the Union Iron Works of San Francisco, the same being the lowest bid embracing all iron work mentioned as "Separate iron contract," exclusive of all cell work, be accepted, and Oscar Macy, Chairman of this Board, is authorized to enter into a contract with said company. So ordered. In the matter of the Old Mission bridge, a warrant for $1,062.22 was ordered drawn in favor of the California Bridge Company, for work on the same. Frank Schmidt was made road overseer of Cahnenga district, vice J. Swall, resigned. In the matter of the bills allowed to Dr. Bailey of Santa Ana, Supervisor Ross moved that any persons knowing of any fraud concerning the same be requested to produce his evidence before the Board at 10:30 A.M. May 12. So ordered. The road overseer of Compton district was authorized to take certain lumber and iron of the Washburn crossing bridge not needed for the reconstruction of the same and use it in constructing a bridge at the slough on the Taylor road near Compton, and that $250 be transferred from the general road fund to the Compton district, and that J. W. Venable be employed to construct said bridge. The money in the Butte county treasury was counted Monday and found to be short $14,600. W. J. Morgan, County Treasurer, left about ten days ago, ostensibly to attend a shooting match in a neighboring city. On Wednesday last a letter was received from Morgan from San Francisco stating that he would be at home on Sunday. This is the last heard or seen of him. His family connections were of the very best.
