The defeat of the project to incorporate the Anaheim Irrigation District under the Wright Irrigation bill is a deserved rebuke to the man who are responsible for creating the boundaries of the district. Supervisors Rose and Vanable are said to have fully understood the defects of the boundary lines, and were opposed to creating them as finally fixed. When the next petition be presented to the Board of Supervisors, the honorable body will be given a better opportunity to understand the wants of their petitioners. The question which is fraught with such momentous import to every one in our valley should not be lightly dealt with. Every protest and petition should be scorned, and a conclusion arrived at whereby the greatest good will come to the greatest number. Anaheim has a larger water supply than any other section in Southern California. What the people want is the proper development of the same. Properly constituted, our district will be the means of making the entire valley blossom as the rose. Otherwise the source of all our wealth and prosperity will be turned into a mainspring for endless litigation and decay. The matter rests with our people first, and with the Supervisors afterward. Let the honorable body be made acquainted thoroughly with the facts of the case. The Governor has requested the resignation of Boulanger-General Matthews, commanding the First Brigade, N. G. C. We do not believe the resignation was asked on political grounds, as some seem to imagine. General Matthews' devotion to the Seventh Infantry Regiment has won him golden opinions everywhere, and why he should have been asked to give up his rank now that the militia in Southern California has acquired—and largely through his endeavors—such a commanding position in the Guard, is something which it is at present difficult to determine. It is known that the General was not a warm supporter of Major Russell in the latter's recent successful canvass for the Colonel of the new Regiment. Probably we shall not be required fortuitously to engage to go and thus it came about that the latter started on a career for the head of the army, and the former equipped himself for an Indian agency somewhere out west, where he still is. Another great speech may soon be expected, the Legislature of New York having chosen Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll to deliver a elogy on Racoon Conkling. It may be said in all truthfulness that the speaker is worthy of his theme. There is no man in America who is better fitted for such a task than the glowing, tender, impassioned and at times majestic grater who, unfortunately for humanity and his own fame, has often applied his genius to the destruction of the one great hope that reconciles the world to mortality. But as a panegyric of Senator Conkling Colonel Ingersoll will be at his noblest and best, and that means very much to the lovers of the higher forms of modern eloquence. George Borchers, the San Francisco baseball crack, has signed to play with the Chicago club. Borchers is a better man than any twirler that ever left California to play in the East. Charley Sweeney did not go East to pitch, but he showed his ability to twirl during his first season with the Providence club, and as a result he proved a good one and was held back for emergencies. His record is two well known to be repeated. The terms asked for by Borchers and accepted by Spalding of Chicago are the highest ever paid to an untried man in a league club and amount to $500 per month — $3,000 for the balance of the season, six months. In speaking of the acceptance of his terms Borchers laughingly said: "Who would have thought that I could demand $500 a month for playing ball? Why it's only three years ago since I used to play in corner lots and bet fifty cents on the game." General Boulanger has withstood German bullets and shows that he can keep an even front to what is more dreaded than they by typical Frenchmen—the poisoned shafts of ridicule. Just now he is the jest of the Galilee stage, the victim of the caricaturist and the jeer of the conservative press, all because of his journey to Paris in disguise. Even high society helps on the railway by a figure in the German wherein the male dancers, with coat-collars turned up, blue goggles, and a slight limp recall the incognito of the ex-War Minister. But Bolinger does not wince, goes meditatively and bides his time. The thoughtful French Republican may well say of him what Caesar said of Cassius—"He thinks too much; such men are dangerous." Admiral Heneage finds his double in a Canadian legislator, who declares that unless he takes this steamer following said that Slater also predicted the J.J. Petersen to take this steamer following said that Slater also predicted the J.J. Petersen to take this steamer following said that Slater also predicted the J.J.

It is the universal impression that they will take up the affairs of the town where their predecessors left them, and carry on public improvements to a practical finish. During their term of office they can do much in the way of beautifying our town. In a short while the people will be able to judge for themselves whether the new city fathers are in favor of progress or retrogression. Russia is beginning to be regarded with particular suspicion. The latest reports say that she now has three quarters of her armed men on her western frontier. She has recently strengthened her navy, and during the last month has shown a change of activity in the way of military preparations. It is now noted that Russia has a better opportunity for raiding than she has had for years. Germany is sorely troubled by the uncertain condition of the Emperor; England is unprepared for war and has home rule divisions at home to prevent harrisonous action against swift, aggressive action on the part of Russia. Germany has, through Bismarck, shown such conciliatory tendencies toward the Czar that Russia regards that country as a good foil to Autria. It does not care for France. Russian finances are at their worst and might be remedied by capture of new territory. Outbreaks and insurrections are constantly being fomented by Russian agents in the East. It is believed that Russia intends with in the next month to make positive showing of an aggressive Eastern policy. In financial circles great uneasiness is beginning to be felt. The Crown Prince William will soon be Emperor. He may be a rigid ruler, and Germans never were slaves. Upon one side stands Russia, bankrupt but force for contest; upon another France, ever ready to support a Boulanger, and with lost provinces to regain once more if possible. England will not incline at heart toward the anti-English typical Frenchmen—the poisoned shafts of ridicule. Just now he is the jest of the Gallic stage, the victim of the caricaturist and the jeer of the conservative press, all because of his journey to Paris in disguise. Even high society helps on the railway by a figure in the German wherein the male dancers, with coat-collar turned up, blue goggles, and a slight limp recall the incognito of the ex-War Minister. But Bolinger does not wince, goes meditatively about and bides his time. The thoughtful French Republican may well say of him what Caesar said of Cassius—"He thinks too much; such men are dangerous." Admiral Henage finds his double in a Canadian legislator, who declares that unless the United States refuses to grasp the hot end of the fisheries poker, it will "hear the mighty voice of British cannon." From the Admiral the threat was somewhat impressive, considering our defenseless ports and dismantled navy. But from Canada it sounds like the belligerent chatter of a small boy. A declaration of war between this country and England would mean the extinction of Canada in about two weeks. After the Irish volunteers had finished with her a few Americans would go across the line and gather up the remnants with a sponge. In an interview with a French journalist, recently, General Gourko, Governor of Warsaw, denied that Russia was depriving of war but said that it was impossible to predict events. He hoped, should an outbreak of war occur, that France would not remain neutral. He hinted that in such case France would have to deal with England; and, as Italy's ally, nobody could count on England's neutrality. This, he said, was a matter for serious reflection. The Chinese Emperor is being initiated into the mysteries of poker by three Chinese noblemen, who have studied cards and other things this country. Then at last there is hope for the civilizing of China. Deaf to our moral persecution, it may be that through our vices she will be brought to accept our ideas of social betterment. Carl Schurz was a Prussian revolutionist in 1848 and had to leave the country to escape a dungeon. He is now in this Fatherland again and the highest dignitaries of the Empire unite to do him honor. Prince Bismarck's statement to Minister Andrew D. Whitsin 1879 that the German people "think well of Schurz and watch his career with admiration." is fully verified by present occurrences. Whatever may be said in delegation of Mr. Schurz's political judgment, Americans viewing his career from first to last will not fall very much short of his German estimate. An evangelist at Detroit spoke the other night on "The Devil's Toboggan Slide." It is not a happy simile. We had supposed the devil's vehicles to be adapted to a climate where tobogganes would be useless.

FAILURE OF W T COLEMAN The Mouse Forced in Assignment Cover Liabilities. SAN FRANCISCO May 8—Great was created here to stay when the emission of William T. Coleman & Co., nounced Mr. Coleman made an eminent of his property to L. L. Louis Sloss for the benefit of his car and at the same time an assignment made by the firm of William T. Coleman to the same gentlemen for the asses. An assignment was also made by Coleman of a block of land to California. The following statements been issued by the firm: "Being immediately realize upon our assets view of the pressing engagements York, where the call on us for money gent, we have decided in order to prepare dissipation of our property to assist this end our assignes are Medieval Sloss and L. L. Baker. Our assets at $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 and our liabilities $2,000,000. Our inhibitedness formula with the exception of sums magnitudes is confined to four bad two individuals. Until lately we have hopes of being able to meet everything place ourselves in excellent shape and properties are very large, our borax properties, in which heavy investments. This borax property value at $2,000,000, and have had cently great hope of selling it. In gestations were in a fair way to be mated when the tariff bill placing her free list tended to defeat our direction. We are therefore confident feels that our resources are client, with proper administration than meet all our engagements." STREAMERS COLLIDE The Steamship Eureka and The Eight People Missing. New York, May 8—The Morgan steamer Eureka was in collision with other steamship and sunk last night further news has been received by those at the line here. The Eureka is a boat, and carried no passengers. He included officers, deckhands, sailors engineers, numbers thirty-eight in all. NORFOLK (Va.), May 8—The British ship Benson from Mantanzas to Poughlao has been towed here in distress reports being in collision yesterday morning shortly after 12 o'clock during fog with the steamer Eureka from York to New Orleans. When the foughed about half an hour afterward, she was nowhere in sight, and it is fearful was sinked. After the collision there The Crown Prince William will soon be Emperor. He may be a rigid ruler, and Germans never were slaves. Upon one side stands Russia, bankrupt but force for contest; upon another France, and ready to support a Boulanger, and with lost provinces to regain once more if possible. England will not incline at heart toward the anti-English ruler, though motives of state policy may result in a suppression of sentimentalism, and fear of Russia in the east outweigh all petty leanings. This will be the situation when the Emperor Frederick dies. Bismarck is old and will not long survive, and so will soon pass away. Von Moltka. Between the Germany of to-day and the Germany of five years from now may be but alight resemblance. History is making last in the fatherland. The changes now occurring are vast events. The dreadful news comes from France that Dufour, Bonajartiat, and M. Arun, opportunist, exchanged cards. This meant that in the chamber of deputies the other day M. they would fight a duel, but cable assures us that the matter was amicably adjusted by friends. It was Voltaire, was it not, who declared that his countrymen were half tiger, half monkey? Some of the present chamber of deputies make the monkey phase a speciality. Colonel Burr has been making researches at Sheridan's old home, and has come across many curious facts about the General's early life. As his first appointment as Colonel came about without his knowledge or seeking, so did his appointment to West Point as a cadet. The application for appointment was made for his brother Patrick H., who was the brilliant boy of the family, while Philip H. was regarded as inclined to dullness, and was regarded almost as a "no'er-do-well." The member of Congress who had the making of the appointment got these children, both of whom he knew as boys, mixed, and being unable to distinguish them by name, wrote "Philip H." where he meant to write "Patrie" H." There is said to have been a scene at the house of the Sheridana when the appointment came and it was discovered that the wrong boy had been commissioned. It happened, however, that Pat didn't care to go and Phil was MEN OF NOTE The oldest British peer is Viscount Eversley, who is 91 years old, and the youngest is the Duke of Albany, ninety years his junior. Gen. Sheridan is still able to speak in the Indian tongue that he learned as a lieutenant among the Umphills of Oregon thirty years ago. Gen.

Senator Palmer, of Michigan, has the reputation of being the finest linguist in the upper house of congress. He can make a speech in English, French or Spanish. Count Okuma, the new Japanese minister for foreign affairs, is, excepting Prince Sanjo, the chancellor, the only man holding high office in the empire who has never traveled abroad and speaks no foreign tongue. Commissaire Barron, who died last week, was the youngest midshipman ever enrolled in the American navy. He received his appointment when three years old. He was one of the first American officers to successfully pass up the Boathorns to Constantinople in a United States war ship. Worth, the French milliner, lives in the suburbs of Paris in a palace that covers several acres, and is gorgeously furnished. Once a year it is thrown open to his employees, and the fete lasts a day and a night. On this day each of the women employed by Worth is permitted to select a dress from his stock, and it is made up according to her directions. President Newell, of the Lake Shore road, it is related, was a little tardy in providing himself with 1888 credentials, and being coached with "Treketa," please," by the conductor, finished out a last year's pass and attempted to slide through on that. The conductor knew his business, though, and Mr. Newell had to pay his fare for the first time in many years. A visitor who saw Hugh Maxwell Brooks in his cell in St. Louis the other day, asked him if it were true that he smoked twenty or eight cigarettes a day. "No," indeed," he responded blandly," "I am a very moderate smoker." I am sick only once a day—from 7:30 in the morning until 9:30 at night." Brooks apends a great deal of his time reading Homer, virgil and Ocero in the original. On Saturday afternoon Wallace Launch, the well-known San Diego lawyer, met with a severe accident, which will lay him up for a long time, if nothing more serious results. About 2:30 clock he mounted his horse at the Horton House, and started to ride down D street. At the corner of Second Street the animal started to run, and at the corner of First he turned sharply, throwing his rider to the ground. Mr. Launch's hand stagg against the street railroad track, inflicting a serious wound on the left side. He was insane when picked up. He was carried into his residence and physician examined, and upon examination it was found that though the shell was not fractured there are grimms for fears of commotion of the brain. The crew of the steamer Eureka was in collision with the steamer H and sank; were picked up by the brigade Gray after being in boats five miles away and were landed at Philadelphia on Monday. WILKINBARRE (Pa.). May 6.-Late tember Mrs. George Kesler suddenly peared from her home in Keelerville a bushard stated that she had gone visit some relatives. Kesler himself afterward left for California. A few ago the authorities of the county recount anonymous letter in which the writer that if the collar of Kesler's home searched something would be discarded yesterday a sheriff and two constables the house, and after a close inspection premise found the decomposed body woman. All the clothes were antique and the flesh was nearly stripped. The body, however, was identified as Mrs. Kesler by her earrings. There deep cut in the forehead, as if mud-hatched. A detective will start for footage to light and if possible arrest who is suspected of the arson.

The history of the Wrecking of the Queen of Spirits A summary story is being presented to the City of San Diego on her arrival in San Francisco the day from San Diego and way forth, among her passengers the parish freight clerk of the Queen and as many crew as were not needed, and from the particulars of the accident to the men were learned. They agree with the accounts, and add that an examination showed that a deadlight in the after of the vessel was left open, and it through this that the water rushed in filled up the space between decks, where the lights were stored, and the cabin deck. Space was supposed to be water-tight, was so but for the open light, and the consequently was not noticed until it came to ooze up the cabin deck. The lights are portholes below the steam-ward and are covered by heavy round of glass armoured by brass runs. In the vessel is in port these glass covers by means of a hinge no as to adhere free pamage of air into the compartment. It is the duty of the vessel's second order to see these lights closed before the boat is put on board. They are abut down hastened by means of a screw. Should them be shut down and not screwed instead like the present one might easily governor Perkins says the second mate is have that all the deadlights were closed over the steamer left port, and if this were cause the light must have been opened by a son who had designs against the vessel company. News in Brief. Archibishop Joseph Saden Alemany, head of the Catholic Church of California, died at Valencia, Spain, on April 16. Peter Waters was shot three times by his wife at Los Angeles on Tuesday, on account of ill-treatment. There is no chance for his recovery.

The River and Harbor bill was passed by the House on Monday by a vote of 161 ayes to 69 nays. The appropriation for Humboldt labor is reduced from $150,000 to $125,000 while that for Oakland harbour has been increase from $175,000 to $200,000. The Wilmington appropriation of $60,000 remains unchanged. The Directors of the African Association of Land-in have sent an order to Stanley Falls to send out a soliciting party in search of Stanley, and to push the expedition with all possible speed. Although the promoters of the Stanley expedition declare in their public utterances that they will have no cause for alarm, even if no news of the famous explorer reaches them for three months, their tone in private is fall of great anxiety. A big wreck occurred Sunday morning on the Southern Pacific at Sandcut, on the Tehachipah mountains, ten miles this side of Sumner. A freight train northbound was climbing the heavy grade, when one of the engine's valves broke. It was necessary to return to Sandcut for repairs, and upon its way back, while turning a sharp curve, a special northbound freight dashed into the rear end of it. The engined of the special was smashed, the cab took fire and six box cars were derailed and burned. Five of the box cars were fortunately empty. The sixth was loaded with hay. The loss is estimated at between $5,000 and $6,000. Delinquent Notice. Anaheim Union Water Company.

The awful explosion on the steamer Sultana near Memphis twenty-three years ago, in which nearly 2,000 Union soldiers took their lives, has always been a mystery. The survivors at their reunions have recently made a number of statements regarding the affair, but the meat sensational story has been told by William C. Streeter, a resident of St. Louis. His statement fixes the explosion result of design. He claims that a noted confederate blockade runner and mail carrier named Robert Lowden, better known as Charles Dale, was the author of the terrible disaster. Streeter claims that Lowden told him after the close of the war that while the Sultana lay at Memphis wharf, he straggled aboard a large lump of coal, in which was concealed a torpedo. This he deposited on the fuel side, in front of the boilers, for the express purpose of causing the destruction of the boat. What has become of Lowden is unknown. At about 2 o'clock on Friday morning San Diego was visited by the most disastrous conflagration which has ever occurred in the history of the city. The loss will reach $200,000. The fire originated in the Central Market building, occupied by Hamilton & Co., as a general supply store, and in the immense structure, which extended clear through the block from Fifth to Sixth street, was one of the largest stocks of goods carried by retail firms in Southern California. The building was completely gutted, and the goods were a total loss. S.G. Ingel's stove and mantel establishment and a two-story brick building adjoinning were also a total loss. Fred N. Hamilton's hardware and ammunition store was gutted. The powder and cartridges in the room kept up a constant fuselade, making it very dangerous for the firemen to work around the burning structure. It looked for a time as if the whole block would go, and the four-storey Bancroft block across the street was badly scarched, but the flames were finally brought under control.

FINANCIAL REPORT OF TOWN CLERK For Fiscal Year Ending April 1，1888 A freight car attached to the regular freight train on the Philadelphia and Reading railway and loaded with dynamite, exploded at Lacost Gap, Pa., on Sunday. Seven persons were instantly killed, and twenty-five were injured or less seriously. The explosion was heard for a distance of twenty miles, many persons in the surrounding country supposing that the noise and the concussion accompanying it proceeded from an earthquake. Four blocks of houses which were standing close to the scene of the disaster, were razed to the ground instantly—and as completely as though they had been cut down—and scores of other large and valuable buildings were very much damaged. Immediately following the shock, the flames broke out simultaneously in eight or ten of the fallen buildings, and in less than an hour all that had remained of them was completely consumed by the flames. For several hours it was thought that the town would be wiped out, as a high wind prevailed at the time and the fireman seemed to be entirely unable to stay the foose of the flames. The Los Angeles cracker factory, corner of Aliso street and Aliso road, was burned to the ground on last Friday. The flames spread with great rapidity to all parts of the high building, lighting up the whole neighborhood for a dozen blocks. The fire department were on hand, but owing to the limited supply of water and the big hold the fire had already obtained, could do but little to check the flames. The cottage at 209 Aliso street directly behind the building, where Henry Weber, one of the proprietors, and his family resided, soon caught fire, and the streams of Mrs. Weber and her little children could be heard for blocks. Charles A. Stephens and Chris Hargley, two young men who lived in the vicinity, rushed into the building, seized the children and carried them in their night dresses to the house of Mr. Stevens, at 214 Sansevieran street. The number soon after reaching a place of safety, fainted dead away, and was very delirious when last heard from. The fire had not been in progress more than ten or fifteen minutes when the cry went from one to another that a man had been harmed in the building. A number of women standing in front of the medical college on Aliso were sobbing and wringing their hands. John Schuler, aged 25, slept in the big stove, and there is every reason to believe that the undertaker man was hewn to death. An additional to the building had only just been completed. The loss will be $50,000, and there is about $122,000 insurance. Improvements and new machinery just called out $16,000. Only $84,000 insurance was arrived. A reward of $50 will be paid for time leading to the arrest of suspectry or injuring the town planner the streets of Anaheim. By order of the Board of Trends April 11, 1888. M.
