THE NEW DEPOT. As stated last week, every difficulty in the way of securing the grounds for the depot of the California Central Railway Company has been smoothed away, and surveyors are daily expected to begin work from Anaheim towards Los Angeles. There is a rumor, which comes quite straight, that Anaheim is to be a junction of the road from San Diego to Los Angeles and of the Eastern line via Riverside. The rumor is that the road is to be extended from the station on the Yorba ranch to Anaheim. This will give a direct outlet for Anaheim's large Eastern shipments, and will be of immense benefit not only to shippers but to the whole community. Following is a list of the subscriptions to the depot fund that have been collected by Fred Smythe: A. Langenberger $300 H. Kroeger 250 Pizg James 200 F. & J. Backs 150 Theo Reiser 150 H.

Anabehn Gazette, June 17, 1857. About 4 o'clock a.m.on Sunday morning last, a Mexican named Thomas Velardez, well known in this vicinity, was shot through the body from the effects of which needed in about twenty hours. The murderer, Francisco Ruiz, immediately mounted a horse and fled, and has not since been heard of; although diligent search has been made. An impost was held after the death of the deceased, the particulars of which we have not space to publish. It may be remarked, parenthetically; as an illustration of ancient journalism, that following the above paragraph was a long account of the death of a favorite dog owned by H.D.P. Themus.

H. D. Polheenus has gone to San Jose on a brief visit. J. D. Fish and wife of Lodi have been visiting Mr. Fish's parents for the past week. Plez James has sold the 20 acre vineyard he bought from James Taylor a few weeks ago to Dr. J. Pfeinger for $5,000. J. Bennerscheidt is preparing to manufacture gas again, and will be ready to supply customers as soon as his meters arrive. Charles H. Madden is now officiating as operator in the Anaheim telegraph office, Mr. Knapp being about to take a vacation. Pierce & Littlefield have bought from J. G. Baxter the NEj of NEj of SWj, and W 20 acres of SWj of Sec. 22, T 4 S, R 10 W, for $3,000. Madame Malpeska has arrived in San Francisco. She will spend the summer at Pleasants' ranch in the Santiago Canyon, in which ranch she is said to have an ownership. The only licorice root grown in this vicinity, we believe, is on A. McDermont's farm. One up-country farmer has just marketed sixteen tons of it, and finds its growth profitable. This is a hint that should be heeded. Messrs. Oppenheimer and others of Riverside have bought from C. R. Spoerl the 18 acres corner of West and Center streets for $6250, and will subdivide it into lots. It is an elegant location. A Mexican named Tomas Valardez will known in this trinity, was shot through the body from the effects of which he died in about twenty hours. The murderer, Francisco Ruiz immediately mounted a horse and fled, and has not since been heard of, although different search has been made. An impetus was held after the death of the deceased, the particulars of which we have not space to publish. It may be remarked, parentically; as an illustration of ancient journalism, that following the above paragraph was a long account of the death of a favorite dog owned by H. D. Pillemus. The death of the dog evidently touched the heart of the then editor, G. W. Barter, more strongly than the murderer of Valardez. This ancient murder is again brought to public attention by the arrest in Anaheim on Monday of Francesco Ruiz, the alleged murderer. He has been in town, off and on, for the past five or six years. After the murder, it was reported that he had gone to Mexico. The warrant for his arrest was issued at the instance of Epiphano Velardez, a brother of the murderer man. Thus only known witness to the affray is Chapo Aguilar, whose collection of toy matter is hazy. He says that Velardez and another man were fighting and when they were strangling on the ground Ruiz fired at Velardez with a pistol, so he was told at the time. The Coroner's jury, at the time of the inquiry, had only one witness before them, who gave no positive evidence. Ruiz has been working for various parties in Anaheim for over four years. He is noted as an industrious and sober man, and when he accidentally shot himself in the hand some month ago, much sympathy was expressed for him. He was married in Anaheim about four years ago. Major P. S. Donney will hereafter assist in the editorial management of the Gazette. He is a veteran journalist who has served on nearly all the metropolitan dailies. We commend him to the courtesy of our friends and readers. At a special meeting of the Directors of the Water Company on last Saturday, a conference was had with a number of the irrigators of Yorba district regarding a settlement of the differences between them about the amount of water to which the Yorba district is entitled. The matter was referred to Messis, McFadden, Hunter and Gardiner, and a committee which is to be appointed by the Yorba irrigators. It is to be hoped these gentlemen will unite upon some settlement that will settle the dispute once for all. The Yorbas, we believe, claim 350 inches of water, and the Anaheim Company are willing to concede to them 250 inches. Master Carl Pamperl, who is only about 14 years of age, is already an artist of merit. He has just finished painting for a little friend a picture of Melrose Abbey, and the The only licorice root grown in this vicinity, we believe, is on A. McDermont's farm. One up country farmer has just marketed sixteen tons of it, and finds its growth profitable. This is a hint that should be heeded. Messrs. Oppenheimer and others of Riverside have bought from C. R. Spoerl the 18 acres corner of West and Center streets for $6250, and will subdivide it into lots. It is an elegant location. John Hanna has sold the balance of his Anaheim land (40 acres) for $5000. Continuously for nineteen years Mr. Hanna has owned land in and near Anaheim, and though he now has no landed interests here he assures us he will always speak a good word for the old town. If the walnut orchard of Erwin Barr is to be taken as an indication, the crop this year will be unprecedented. The trees are loaded to the muzzle, and the limbs are bending to the ground under the weight of nuts. It is a weary wait until a walnut tree fruits, but the reward is ample compensation. Thos. D. Cone, a manufacturer of concentrated Grape Must, whose headquarters are at Sacramento, favored the GAZETTE with a call on Monday. He is spying the land with a view to establishing works here for the concentration of grapes—an industry which he has been engaged in with great profit for two years. He finds a ready eastern market for all the black grapes (Zinfandel preferred) which he can put up. His system offers a relief against low prices and a glutted local market, and we are confident he will find it to his advantage to put in a plant here. Master Carl Pamperl, who is only about 14 years of age, is already an artist of merit. He has just finished painting for a little friend a picture of Melrose Abbey, and the work would command attention anywhere. It is a faithful representation of the grand old Abbey, and the coloring and general effect is worthy of an artist of mature years and reputation. We predict that our young friend will fill a place among the masters of painting if he pursues his studies in that direction. Secretary Duke, of the Pacific Mutual Aid Society, was in town yesterday, full of vigor and business as usual. He reports the Society flourishing, and continual accessions are being made to its membership. John Baneroft is slowly recovering from a severe attack of fever, induced by a protracted residence in Arizona. There is no doubt of his speedy recovery in this glorious climate. School taxes will be delinquent in a short time. Pay up and save costs. Grand Ball at Kroeger's Hall on Monday evening, July 4, 1887. Tickets for gentlemen, $1. W. W. Weaver, manager. Wells, Fargo & Co. There are packages for the following persons in W., F. & Co.'s Express Office: Rev. D. Goodsell, W. C. Brackett, Mrs. J. Jechim, Mrs. B. Lovering, S. Moore, W. Stapleton. THE HOTEL PROJECT. The ingenious scheme broached in the Gazette last week to secure the building of a modern hotel in Anaheim has been the subject of much favorable discussion, and we are led to believe that something practical will follow the suggestion. Our plan was in brief this: To any individual or corporation which will build a hotel in Anaheim to cost not less than $40,000, the citizens will guarantee interest on the investment at the rate of eight per cent per annum. To such a guarantee the names of from fifty to one hundred substantial citizens could be secured. It will be very strange if the men of money who are seeking safe investments for their wealth, can not be induced to embark in this legitimate enterprise under which they not only have an assured income for say five years, but also have the benefits of the increasing value of their property. Nor does the guarantors run any risk. Such a hotel would readily rent more than the guaranteed interest. The building of such a hotel would give an impetus to business here second only to the boom which followed the railroad location. The Foran Suicide. On the day that our last issue went to press, a coroner’s jury decided that Foran committed suicide. A search of his house brought to light $40 in gold concealed in a mustard can which was doing duty under the leg of a table; and $191 90 in gold and silver in the pocket of his duster which was hanging in the room. In the same garment was found the $6500 in bonds referred to in his will which is printed here: ANAHEIM June the 25, 1886. This is my last will, made this day, when in full possession of my sons, all written with my own hand. I give and bequeath to my sister in France, Mine, Marie Bungard, at Payral de Mar (Annie) all the following, my property, with the exceptions below; that is, less $550 for taxes and funds: (1st) Lot, house, turnover, carriage and boggy, all in Anaheim. (2nd) The following United States bonds, all 34½, all registered in my name. Five bundles of $40 each, numbered 13,912-3-14-5 and 13,911, four bundles of $188 each, numbered 44,650-9 and 45188-9; also cash on hand. My corpse is not to be buried till it shows evident signs of decomposition. All the expenses of the funeral, including coffin, services and everything else, shall not exceed $50. A monument of marble or granite worth $500, shall be built on my grave. I appoint Mr J. M. Elliott to execute this will and administrate all the aforesaid my LOCAL BREVITIES. It is reported that W. D. Mountain has made a sale of 223 acres in Yorba district to W. W. Elliott for $4000. Mrs. Meyerholtz, who has been spending several months in Anaheim visiting her daughter, Mrs. H. Caben, left yesterday morning for her home in Santa Clara. W. H. Avery has a wholesale butchering establishment at Buena Park, and supplies the two most markets in town with meat, which is sold to them by wholesale. J. D. Heckert, who has for some months past been employed in the lumber yard, lately removed to Pomona with his family, where they will take up their future residence. The surveyors of the Boldt tract completed the work of laying out the vineyard into town lots within two days after it was instituted. Most of the lots have already been sold at private sale in Los Angeles. A gentleman named Mr Kent has arrived in Anaheim with his family, and will open a paint shop in the Town Hall this week. He is now fitting up the rear part of the hall for his business. The Board of Supervisors have ordered a warrant for $200 drawn for the purchase of Lot 49, Black A., of the Center tract. Anaheim, upon which it is proposed to build a jail. The work of excavating for Backs Bros. building has been completed. A large amount of brick and mortar are on the ground, and bricklaying will commence immediately. A small cellar has also been excavated. The new house being built on the Center tract by P. H. Larsen is assuming finishing proportions. The bricklayers have completed the building of a chimney, and the carpenters are finishing the woodwork. The house will soon be ready for the painters. Albert Bittner has been employed by the street car company to repair the track, and is at present handling earth with which to fill in the inside of the track, the ground having been considerably worn down by the constant travel on the car line since it was first operated. Apricots are maturing in some orchards around Anaheim, especially of the Early Moormark variety. Apricots of all varieties can be had in Anaheim about the first of July, but the early varieties can now be obtained in the markets. Sancer peaches and green gages are ripe. Small shipments of oranges are still being made from Anaheim depot. This is probably the last of this season’s crop. How often apricots and other deciduous fruits are now maturing rapidly, secrely before the orange season has closed. Verily, Southern California has its own fruit all the year round. The saloon and bowling alley fixtures in the basement of Kroeger’s Hall have been sold by D. Belfray to F. W. Packard, who arrived in Anaheim with his family—a few days ago. COUNTY NEWS. Ben. S. Eastman has been appointed postmaster at Covina. Los Angeles is to celebrate the Fourth and has invited Theo Rimpau and Theo Reiser of Anaheim to help them. The deed granting the San Bernardino and San Diego R. R Company a right oway through the San Joaquin rancho was filed for reward on Tuesday. Dr. Skatelevy’s attorneys have been sold to a Pasadena real estate firm, and will be removed to that town. The price paid for the birds was about $1000 a pair. R. M. Wharton committed suicide at Pasadena on Wednesday by taking strychnine. He was despendent because he had sold his land too cheap. Lorenze Minnenani, an Italian section hand, was run over and killed by a California Central train on Friday in Los Angeles. The company and engineer were exonerated from all blaine. A Los Angeles syndicate has purchased 5000 acres near Eisenada, Lower California; and will sell it in small tracts. Weekly excursions will run from Los Angeles to Envenada. The Perkins Baldwin case was called for trial last Monday, but was continued until next Monday on affidavits that Baldwin who is in St. Louis is too ill to attend the trial. An effort will be made on next Monday to have the case continued for the term. The meeting of the Pomological Society which was to have been held at Orange on July 1st has been postponed until July 7th. The Sixth District Agricultural Association will hold their Fair at Los Angeles, October 3rd to 8th inclusive. Some of the commission merchants in Los Angeles who have wool on hand are discussing the advisability of sending it to New York burying the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The company charges fifty cents per hundred pounds while the railroads charge a dollar. The Herald has this latest and most reliable information: The A., F & S. F Company were granted a right of way through the ranch for $4500, the money was paid by the company and deeds were granted on Saturday. The railroad agrees to establish a station and build freight and passenger depots in the center of the ranch. Grading it now progressing rapidly across the ranch and the work will soon be completed. Under the will of Mr. Irvine there were nine minor legatees who were to get certain small portions of the ranch. These legatees were on Saturday deeded 1100 acres of the princely domain and are perfectly satisfied. As to the rest of the ranch it has not been sold and there is no speedy prospect of it passing from the hands of the heirs. This is authentic news regarding the San Joaquin ranch. Notwithstanding the tremendous clerical force employed in the Recorder’s office, the work is eight weeks in advance. A person Auction at Garden Grove This hitherto quiet settlement is undergoing the transformation to which all advantages localities are now being subjected. A syndicate of wealthy and energetic men have secured a large body of land in the neighborhood, and by their tact and energy have already attracted large numbers of buyers and almost doubled the price of land. Garden Grove has not only fertile soil, beautiful location and abundant artesian water, but it has an assurance of railroad facilities, and this happy combination can have but one result. We are glad to see the Grove properous, for its citizens are industrious and worthy men and women. The syndicate to whom we refer comprise fourteen gentlemen, among whom are those whose names are given in the advertisement My purpose is not to be buried till it shows evident signs of decomposition. All the expenses of the funeral, including coffin, services and everything else, shall not exceed 50. A moment of marble or granite, worth $500, shall be built on my grave. I appoint Mr J M Elliott to execute this will and administer all the aforesaid my property. Iowe nothing. Rev V. Faulkner. Written also sometimes V. Foran. At the head of the paper, written in pencil, is: "If it is necessary to write to my sister write in French. Manage the bonds to the best advantage. V. F." The ingenious and able gentleman when the Los Angeles Times sent to Anheim to investigate matters connected with the death of Rev. Foran found enough obscure facts on which to base a reliable and sensational article in which it is unavoided to be shown that Foran was murdered. An analysis of this reason on which this conclusion is based show that they are not weighty enough to disturb the verdict of the coroner’s jury, the opinion of physicians, and the sentiment of the public generally. It is enough perhaps to cite one instance of erosion as a consequence on which the Times relies to make out its case. It lays stress on the absence of powder marks on the face of the deceased. This would certainly seem to uphold the theory of murder, but unhappily for that theory the powder marks were not absent. On the contrary they were painfully conspicuous. Under Sheriff Mitchell and Detective Harris came here on Tuesday to thoroughly investigate the matter, and armed with power to examine the body. A search and rapid investigation satisfied them that the examination was unnecessary, and that it was a clear case of suicide. The alleged intimacy of Rev. Mr Chamberlayne with the deceased was thoroughly sifted, and the result was a most elaborate vindication of that gentleman, with whose name liberties were taken that were not in the slightest degree justified. The Pure Wine Law. This law, the passage of which was supposed to be demanded by producers and dealers alike, is not working with the smoothness predicted. There is a decided difference of opinion among wine dealers and producers regarding its merits, and many of the latter have gone systematically to work to make the law edious. One of their methods is to require producers to furnish a chemical analysis of each shipment of wine—something which in the majority of cases is impractical, and when not impractical, it is annoying. Unless the faculties opposition of dealers is abated, it is not likely the law will be anything but a dead letter. An important opinion was given today by the Attorney General with reference to the new wine law. The merchants, at their recent confidence, resolved to require every vineyardist to send an analysis of all wines shipped to them, whether under the old or new contract. To test the legality of this movement, the growers, through Chief Officer Wheeler, sent a number of queries to the Attorney-General who says: "The buyer cannot refuse to receive the wine because there is no analysis or certificate of analysis, but if the evidence should snow that the wine so sold was impure he cannot be held under his contract." men have secured a large body of land in the neighborhood, and by their tact and energy have already attracted large numbers of buyers and almost doubled the price of land. Garden Grove has not only fertile soil, beautiful location and abundant artesian water, but it has an assurance of railroad facilities, and this happy combination can have but one result. We are glad to see the Grove properous, for its citizens are industrious and worthy men and women. The syndicate to whom we refer comprise fourteen gentlemen, among whom are those whose names are given in the advertisement of the auction sale in another column, Mr. Wickham, whom we had the pleasure of meeting the other day, is an ex-editor, and like the better members of that profession is full of tact, energy and business. Barter's Freak. Geo. W. Barter, who in 1870 founded the Anaheim Gazette, and who since 1874 has been engaged in journalistic work in Arizona and elsewhere, has become afflicted with a peculiar kind of insanity. For some weeks past he has been telegraph editor of the Los Angeles Herald, but one day last week he resigned his position and informed his employers that he had received a revelation from the Lord to preach the Word, together with elaborate instructions how to make a success in his new vocation. He visited Rev. W. A. Knighten, and so impressed that gentleman with his sincerity that permission was given him to occupy the pulpit of Grace Methodist Episcopal church for ten minutes after the regular service last Sunday. His address was rather rambling, and it was plain to be seen that his mind was unhinged. He has gone to San Francisco. Agents Wanted, For the sale of Fruit Trees, Small Fruits, Grape Vines, etc., etc. For terms, address California Nursery Co., Niles, Alameda Co., Cal. Mr. Stewart has sold ten acres on Southern avenue to a Mr. Wakefield of Kansas for $165 an acre. Mr. Hough has sold to Mr. Stewart three lots on Stanford avenue. The latter gentleman will put up a livery stable on his purchase in a short time. Richard Robinson has sold to an Illinois lady, through C. B. Hitchcock, five acres on the Boulevard for $500. Mr. Nelson has sold to a syndicate, through the firm of Wickham, Way & Co., his store, two dwellings and surrounding land for the sum of $10,000. Eight wagonloads of speculators were in town Friday looking for investments. Mr. Hough has platted ten acres on Stanford avenue, and staked it off in town lots. Large sales may be expected in a few days. As our merits have been presented to the public through the columns of the Gazette for several weeks, the present rush of investors to this section is but a result of the advertising your valuable paper has extended us. Amos J. Johnson, a Colorado newspaper man, who has been stopping with N. A. Clark the past five months, left to-day for La Junta, Colorado, where he assumes editorship of the Tribune. GARDEN GROVE, June 11, 1887. DIED At Centerville, Alameda county, June 3, Rev. Wm. Wallace Brier, a native of Dayton, Ohio, aged 65 years, 6 months and 27 days. Unless the factions opposition of dealers is abated, it is not likely the law will be anything but a dead letter.
