The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY...DECEMBER 28, 1893 1893. The year 1893, now rapidly drawing to a close, is destined to go down into local history as one memorable in the affairs of the community. A greater degree of prosperity has attended the efforts of our people, and the future holds out to us more promises of immediate return, than is true perhaps of any year that has elapsed since the Pioneers, foreseeing as with instinctive qualities the opulent possibilities of this section, set out, now more than thirty years ago, to brave the wilds and make the desert to blossom as the rose. When the impartial historian viewing with wonderment the splendors of this destined to be most thickly settled section of the country, shall come to write of Southern California—peopled with a hundred times its present population—and indubitably the seat of wealth and government, undoubtedly the most distinctive feature in the work of that development to engage his attention, will be the clear-headed foresight of these same Pioneers who settled in Anaheim, and showed to the world in their primal work what was possible in a hitherto unsettled region. As seated in a luxurious railway carriage, one comes into the northern-most limits of the valley, leaving the canyon of the Santa Ana, to enter upon the beauties of the lowlands below, the first sight to attract his attention is the irrigating canal, running its devious course parallel with the tracks, with its volume of water on its way to unravel the mysteries hidden in the soil of the valley below. For thirty years a stream of water has whimpered its way down into the valley from this point, and from its inception—from this beginning of colony irrigation in Southern California—dates the great change which has transformed vast tracts of pasture into blossoming fields of orchard and vine, and peoped the hillsides and valley with an intelligent and entertaining population. From the time of this initial step in irrigation, in the success of which the future of Southern California so much depended, it is doubtful if the times have been so generous in their favors extended as they have succeeded in maintaining prices fully up to those prevailing last year, as well as imposing a wholesome lesson upon the middlemen, who will doubtless next year be ready to meet them in a more liberal spirit, and make contracts for the crop on a more business like basis than has attended their work in the past. Most of the crop has been marketed advantageously—the growers have a clear conscience and the future is bright, and the few remaining carloads on hand will probably be disposed of to local dealers. Vegetables, including celery, green corn, string beans, cauliflower, cabbage and berries of all description, have been raised in luxuriant abundance, and shipments of the first named vegetable have gone forward for some time past at the rate of a carload per day, the return being ominently satisfactory. The major portion of this business is in the hands of Chinese truck gardeners, but the field is most inviting to the Caucasian, and there is no reason at all why the industry should not be entirely in their hands. Indeed, like the fruit business, the raising of early vegetables for the Eastern market holds out inducements second to none in the wide range of horticulture in this favored section. Down in the Peatlands a gang of Chinese even now are harvesting one hundred acres of choice to fancy celery, and the same is being shipped to Eastern points at the rate of a carload per day. This celery brings fifteen cents a dozen bunches here, and we believe the price in the East is seventy cents per dozen. Of course there are large bills for freight and iceing, but there is a fortune in celery for the right men once they take hold of the industry. Shipments began some weeks ago, and will probably continue until April. This business should be in the hands of whites, and probably will be in the near future. As in other lines of industry, we learn from these industrious Celestials the possibilities of the soil in this favored land of ours. In the other lines of vegetables the business is monopolized by Chinese truck gardeners, but we hope to see it turned over in considerable degree to the Caucasian race before long. No section of Southern California has settled up so rapidly in the recent past as the country tributary to Anaheim, and with a desirable class of citizens, too. To the west and south probably five thousand acres have been purchased for best raising, which industry for the present overshadows everything in sight. People have been attracted here from all parts of the East and North, and for some weeks past there has been a steady inquiry for land to be used for many modal homes they have succeeded in maintaining prices fully up to those prevailing last year, as well as imposing a wholesome lesson upon the middlemen, who will doubtless next year be ready to meet them in a more liberal spirit, and make contracts for the crop on a more business like basis than has attended their work in the past.

FATHER FLAHERTY'S ROCHESTER,N.Y.,Dec.25.-AfromMount Morris says great exceviabledAtSt.Patrick's,the largesttry churchinwesternNew York, ``` to unravel the mysteries hidden in the soil of the valley below. For thirty years a stream of water has whispered its way down into the valley from this point, and from its inception—from this beginning of colony irrigation in Southern California—dates the great change which has transformed vast tracts of pasture into blossoming fields of orchard and vine, and peopled the hillsides and valley with an intelligent and enterprising population. From the time of this initial step in irrigation, in the success of which the future of Southern California so much depended, it is doubtful if the times have been so generous in their favors extended as the year that will soon assume its place in the category of time that has passed. We are going in for a new industry—the farmers are very keen on sugar beets. This past season we harvested 700 acres of fine beats as ever grew outdoors. Although it was purely an experimental year, yet the average yield was 10½ tons per acre, and counting good crops and bad, the average return, deducting freight and expense for handling, was $41.50 per acre. The total yield was upwards of seven thousand tons, or nearly seven hundred carloads. The gross return for the campaign amounted to $35,-611.24; total freight paid, $6,473.31; net amount to the growers, $29,137.93. This great success that has attended the best harvest has had the result of making the erection of a sugar refinery here this season an assured fact. The preliminary work has occupied our attention for the past year or more. It is given out that work on the refinery buildings will begin by the first of February, and that the refinery will be up and running in time to handle the coming season's crop. From four to five thousand acres will be planted to beats, and judging by the payments the past season, the amount of money to be brought among our farmers next year for this one crop alone will not be far short of $200,000, if, indeed, it does not overreach that figure. The refinery will be run on the co-operative basis, and each acre will represent a share of stock. It is confidently believed that the refinery can be paid for in three years, and our farmers will then have, beside the great returns from the new crop, a share paid up for each acre of beets planted, in the best paying corporation in the country. Our orange, walnut and deciduous fruit shipments have been large during the year, but for the former the prices, owing to the action of the unscorupulous commission men, were in the main unsatisfactory. In common with all growers throughout Southern California our orchardists were subjected to the terms of quotation practiced by these rival firms of middlemen, with the result that many of them received absolutely nothing for their crop, and in cases large freight bills had to be borne in addition to the loss of the fruit. But this ruinous policy is now very happily at an end, and our growers propose henceforth to handle their own fruit and see its marketing in proper shape, and to reap the legitimate rewards of the industry which during the past season were denied them. They have formed a local fruit association, a branch of the parent stock taking in all the growers in the citrus belt, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the rest of them, propose to see to the marketing of business in my gardeners, but we hope to see it turned over in considerable degree to the Caucasian race before long. No section of Southern California has settled up so rapidly in the recent past as the country tributary to Anaheim, and with a desirable class of citizens, too. To the west and south probably five thousand acres have been purchased for beet raising, which industry for the present overshadows everything in sight. People have been attracted here from all parts of the East and North, and for some weeks past there has been a steady inquiry for land to be used for this new industry. Many modal homes have sprung up in this section, and probably no year in our history has been so prolific in building. Substantial dwellings are taking the place of old structures, and the face of the country generally is one of prosperity. In town the march of progress has been practically unimpeded since the beginning of the year. Business has been livelier, notwithstanding the season of universal depression brought on by the panicky times of the summer, that probably ever before, and as the country tributary to us has been setting up, so have more visitors from the rural districts been seen upon our streets, more vehicles have come to town, and the times on all hands take on an additional air of prosperity. The public streets were never in better condition, and good work has been done on the county roads leading to town. There is room for much improvement in this latter, however, and we hope that before the rainy season at an end, Anaheim may boast of as good roads as any section in the county. The bonds on the new City Hall building and the water works are being paid off at a satisfactory rate, and though the securities have some years yet to run, the tax is light, and apart from them the city is practically free from debt. A most desirable class of new residents are coming in, looking for homes, and building residences. A number of palatial residences have been erected during the year, and more are to follow. It is considered on every hand that never before were the prospects of the community so bright, and that we have moreover before us the best future of any section in Southern California. The rains have started auspiciously, and there is every indication that the precipitation will be quite sufficient to raise good crops—and indeed such a thing as a dry year is a thing of the past with us, and the greatest sown to cereal crops last year bids fair to be repeated. While reports from the East and North are to the effect that the times are distressively hard, and that poverty stalks about well-night every side, here with us the times are those of prosperity and plenty, there is work enough to do, and on all hands men and women are laying by competences to come in handy at a rainy day. A review of the year would scarcely be complete without a reference to the monetary disturbances consequent upon the failure of the Bank of Anaheim in June. Though upwards of a hundred thousand dollars of deposits were tied up in the crash, the panicky feeling was of comparatively short duration, and affairs have long since assumed their normal quietude. The bank's affairs are now in course of liquidation, and there FATHER FLAHERTY'S ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 25.-A copy from Mount Morris says great excursion prevailed at St. Patrick's, the largest church in western New York night mass Sunday night. The former pastor, Father Flaherty removed several months ago, after which he was convicted of criminal activity with a young girl of the parish; granted a stay and a motion for him will be argued at the January term. The church was crowded to over After mass had been said by Father who is now in charge of the church while the Christmas offering was being Father Flaherty passed up the court and spoke to congregation as follows: "A year ago to-night I was at your priest, while to-night I am on under sentence to a condemn cell. There is a man in this church who was instrumental in my That man is Cornelius Loay. It came here to-night with no sacred it is The sentiment of this congregation he leave this sacred edifice." Cries of "Put him out!" followed insa Lore rose in his seat and as Charles Flaherty, or any of his frenemy to meject me into this church leave work for the coroner in the maze No attempt was made to put him on Father Flaherty then said: "Lored Mary Sweeney for several wives to the trial, schooling her in say to bring about my conviction." The congregation was greatly under the influence of Father Day church without further demonstration. THE BRAZILIAN WEEK PERNAMBUCO, Dec. 25.-The affairs have very materially changed this city within the last few hours this morning Pernambuco believes harbor was to be the scene of these naval battle between The Republican on one side, and The cruiser on other side. News received here this morningthe whole aspect of affairs.The ships it was then learned were now way to Pernambuco,both saidis a large convict settlement volutary admiral's object in Pernambuco de Noronhawhich is hundred miles from the main coastpel as many able-bodied convicts find in the settlement to go aboard sel and join the crews.It is saidpects to secure not less than one men in this way. Upon receipt of this news on Nithoyo there was great activityofthe crew were sent ashorein searchthe town for suchofthe menas had been allowed leaveburry them back tothe ship.noonwhen all men belonging toroy's crew had been gotten aboardement battle-ship,the weightsteamed out to sea,and pointed hetharwest. It is understood thatthe Nithoyination isthe IslandofFernandohas.HIfthisinformationiscorrect firms of middlemen, with the result that many of them received absolutely nothing for their crop, and in cases large freight bills had to be borne in addition to the loss of the fruit. But this ruinous policy is now very happily at an end, and our growers propose henceforth to handle their own fruit and see to its marketing in proper shape, and to reap the legitimate rewards of the industry which during the past season were denied them. They have formed a local fruit association, a branch of the parent stock taking in all the growers in the citrus belt, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the rest of them, propose to see to the marketing of their fruit themselves, and are even now assured that better prices will prevail for the present maturing crop, and thus a greater profit accrues to them than has occurred in the past. There is big money in orange growing, and our growers propose, in common with the others throughout the southern portion of the State, to see to it that they get a fair return for their money invested in the business, as well as a satisfactory recompense for the time, labor and expense necessary to the maturing of the crop. Co-operation seems to have been the watchword with our farmers and orchardists, almost to a man. The walnut grower, and the cabbage raisers of Placentia, by combining have placed their crops upon a paying basis, the latter crop especially being transformed into one yielding notably handsome profits. By forming their farmers' union, cabbage went from $12 to $18 per ton, and this latter figure will probably be the standard for future transactions in this commodity. The walnut grower, while they have on hand yet a portion of their crop unsold, have really achieved, as we take it, a noble victory against the middlemen, and while there remains a part of the crop on their hands, this year's work will prove the foundation for future operations, and this preliminary work cannot but result in bringing the great number. The tinkering of the tariff served to affect the harvest of walnuts in no small degree, and reports ran round to the effect that, while last year the price was seven to eight cents per pound, this year the threatened tariff changes would send them down to three or at best four cents. This announcement, coming from Washington and finding as it proved a particularly apt application to the walnut growers of this valley, resulted in bringing them together for mutual protection, and while the tariff changes have not yet taken place, they were nevertheless harassed somewhat by evil reports spread broadcast by the outside commission men taking advantage of the situation; but yet on the whole about on well-night every side, here with us the times are these of prosperity and plenty, there is work enough to do, and on all hands men and women are laying by competences to come in handy at a rainy day. A review of the year would scarcely be complete without a reference to the monetary disturbances consequent upon the failure of the Bank of Anaheim in June. Though upwards of a hundred thousand dollars of deposits were tied up in the crash, the panicky feeling was of comparatively short duration, and affairs have long since assumed their normal quintude. The bank's affairs are now in course of liquidation, and there is abundant hope that in the end depositors will be paid dollar for dollar in full. The immediate cause of the failure was bad judgment exercised in the making of investments, some $50,000 being put in the Nevada ranch, the Alameda county property and in the Sonora mines in Mexico—three investments that would fetch to-day scarce a quarter of the money expended. Of course stockholders are liable for their pro-rata of the bank's indebtedness. The liquidation is being carried out expediently and as cheaply as the circumstances will warrant. The officials of the suspended institution are now paying the penalty for the collapse which they were so unfortunate as to bring upon themselves, and have been held in heavy bonds to answer for the same before the courts. Our water muddle runs its interminable length along, but we hope this will be the last year wherein a scarcity of water in the summer months will work a hardship upon the farmer. Two reservoirs are in contemplation, and a large area of ditches and canals will probably be cemented before the approach of summer. With the completion of all these improvements in view, our water facilities will be second to none on the Coast. Altogether this year has been one of notable prosperity and progress. With the soil yielding luxuriant returns, and our orchardists prepared in future to secure the rewards which by a singular combination of circumstances have to some extent been denied them in the past, and with the future roseate with promise for a favored locality, there is no need for lack of cheer at this Merry Christmas time. The greatest of all blessings—the sugar refinery—made possible by the active efforts of a limited number of our clear-headed and unaffectional citizens, is even now upon the threshold of ultimate success, after two years of preliminary labor, and before another review of a departing year shall be in order, sugar will have become one of the staple products of this region, to ramify into pelas as many amo-booded convicts find in the settlement to go aboard sel and join the crews. It is said pects to secure not less than one men in this way. Upon receipt of this news on Nitheroy there was great activity, of the crew were sent ashore in search to the town for such of the men as had been allowed leave to hurry them back to the ship. Noon, when all men belonging to roy's crew had been gotten aboard erment battle-ship, she weight steamed out to sea, and pointed her northwest. It is understood that the Nitheroy has.

Dr. Samuel Lewis, a young Jewish rabbi from Charleston, S. C., was transferred this morning from Bellevue Hospital to the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. He had suddenly shown signs of dementia while on his wedding trip and his pretty wife had hurried him back to this city to have him treated by competent specialists. Mrs. Lewis herself was nearly wild with excitement when her honeymoon came to an abrupt end. Dr. Lewis was not at all violent, but he had a delusion that he was being persecuted and that a conspiracy had been formed to kill him. He had jumped to his feet while passing through Virginia on the train and shrieked: "You only married me for my money. I will not stay with you another hour." Mrs. Lewis tearfully listened to his ravings, unable at first to understand the change in his manner. When told by the physicians that his mind had given way she immediately notified her relatives that she was coming back to them. Dr. Lewis was taken to the insane pavilion at the Bellevue Hospital to-day and was removed to more comfortable quarters in Bloomingdale. His marriage occurred just one week ago to day. The bride was Miss Clara Ury. Dr. and Mrs. Lewis spent last Tuesday night at the Hotel Savoy and started for the South the following morning, intending to take a brief vacation before he resumed his labors in Charleston, S. C. SULLIVAN (Ind.), December 24.—William C. Hultz, a prominent attorney and former Public Prosecutor, was assassinated by a masked man this morning. The assasin encountered Mr. Hultz on the street, and fired at him point-blank with a shotgun, wounding him in the right shoulder. Hultz ran across the street for refuge in a livery stable, and, just in the doorway, received the contents of the second barrel of the shotgun in his back, dying in two or three minutes. He lived long enough, however, to call out to the men in the stable that he had been shot by Sam Willis. The assassination was not a matter of much surprise, owing to the fact of the intimacy between Hultz and the wife of Willis. Three or four months ago Willis lay in wait and found the couple in an incriminating position at his house. He shot and wounded Hultz, but the latter escaped and left town. THER FLAHERTY'S SIN.

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ill., Dec. 25.—Rock Creek, a small settlement near here, was the scene last night of a gun fight, which ended in the killing of one man and the wounding of two others, one of whom may die. A Christmas-ovo dance was in progress at Rock Creek and was largely attended by many families living in that part of Hardin county. George Bernarn and his pretty wife were among those who had assembled to make the ushering in of Christmas a social success. A dance had just ended and the people were taking their seats when loud words were heard at the door of the room, and two men named Howell and Evans, suddenly pushed by those who, wore expostulating with them and endoavoring to hold them back. In a minute the two intruders saw Barnard, and Howell said, "there he is," and both he and Evans drew their revolvers. "Now we've got you—" With the quickness of a flash Barnard had drawn his revolver and fired. The bullet struck Evans in the mouth and the epithet he intended to apply to Barnard was not spoken. Evans throwup his hands. The scene that followed for a few minutes was one of greatest terror on the part of the peacefully inclined people present. A would-be peacemaker attempted to overcome the desperate men. Catching Howell's right hand he endeavored to seize the revolver. As he did so the weapon was discharged right into a frightened crowd that was forcing its way out of the room. Frank Ladbetter dropped to the floor, shot through the tigh. For a minute or two the men glared at each other. Then Barnard fired and missed his mark. Almost at the same instance Howell fired and Barnard, with a cry of despair, threw his revolver on the floor. He had not been hit, but he had snapped the weapon and found that there was no more catridges in it. Folding his arms he now faced not only Howell, but Evans, the latter having risen to his knees from the floor. The rest of the battle was soon fought. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
