The Weekly Gazette. ISSUE EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, (Charles Kuchel, Editors and Pro propriators. THURSDAY... MAY 24, 1891 According to the annual report of the City Clerk, which we publish in another column this morning, there is a surplus in the city treasury in favor of the city, after deducting all bills contracted during the year, amounting to $2,164 63. The total revenues of the city from all sources during the year have amounted to $10,150 64, and the disbursements $7,102 26. The revenue derived from the sale of water for the year has been $2,002 50, less the Marshal's commission of $100 12 for collecting, leaves a net balance of $1,002 35. This is a very good showing. Indeed it is doubtful if a more satisfactory yearly statement was ever submitted to the people of the city. The approximate running expenses of the city water works amounted to $1,615 75, which leaves a net profit from the work of $286 63. The city is supplied with thirteen fire hydrants and four sprinkling hydrants. The total property owned by the city is reckoned at $14,160. The cost of lighting the city for the year ending May last was $355 10, or an average cost of each lamp of $9 10. The report shows the finances of the city to be in a healthy condition, and should be perused with interest by the taxpayers of the city. The Los Angeles Herald laments the disposition observable on the part of some news papers to usurp the functions of the courts in trying and convicting or acquitting people charged with crime. It declares the practice "bad for the community," which is doubtless true, and adds: This is all bad business, and the worse because it is foreign to the mission of the press. The press is supposed to be run as the exponent of truth. The newspapers are quite necessary to the best interests of the people as are the courts or the law but a purely different way. Each has its own proper sphere and the bench cannot usurp the functions of the press or vice versa without injury to the cause of justice. This is all very fine; but what of the Herald's attempt, some time ago, to convict Abran Aguilar of the crime of killing his runaway wife? Was not the Herald's reporter the most hysterical of the whole lot in his inveterate rancor against the accused man, and the most insistent in his endeavor to cast opprobrium upon him? And weren't his views backed up by the able editorial writers of that robust journal? If we recount economy are best subserved by asking for bids for doing the work. This has always been done in Orange county, and to the fact that the various offices have been thus economically administered is the favorable financial condition of the county in great part due. If Mr. Royal Freeman shall say that this practice shall discontinue, and that in future the various departments of the county shall be run for what there is in them to political favorites, we opine the people will rise in their might and have a word or two to say regarding his candidacy for reelection. Mr. Freeman's course is censurable to the last degree, as corrupt politics. He will be a difficult pill for the Republican County Convention to swallow when he comes up for renomination. We think that so far as the nomination is concerned he may hang up his harp on a willow tree. The contract with the Orange County Herald, which Freeman has awarded the printing of the list, to the exclusion of asking bids from the other papers of the county, stipulates, we believe, that the work shall be "seventy-five cents per square." The tax list appears three times. Is this rate of "seventy-five cents per square" for one insertion, or three? If Freeman gave this printing contract to the Herald at 75 cents when the Blade offered to do the work for 10 cents per square, his act calls for an indignant protest from every taxpayer in the county. A MALICIOUS JOB. COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR FREEMAN LETS THE CONTRACT FOR PRINTING THE TAX LIST WITHOUT ASKING FOR BIDS. Santa Ana Blade, May 22. It has been custom in Orange county, as is the rule in other counties, to let the contract for advertising the delinquent tax list to the lowest bidder, after calling for proposals in a public way. It is a contract involving the expenditure of a large sum of money, and to call for competitive bids is the only honest and business-like way of getting the work done. To do otherwise raises the presumption that there is a job by which the treasury is made to suffer, and when we find that the contract is let in a hole-and-corner way for more than seven times as much as it is worth, that presumption becomes a certainty. This year Tax Collector Freeman has chosen to disregard the established practice, and without saying a word to any newspaper publisher in the county, except one he favors, he has let the contract for seven and one-half times as much as it can be done for. DONE IN SECRET. Mr. Freeman, in pursuance of his hole-and-corner tactics, let the contract for printing the delinquent list to the Orange county. REAL ESTATE SALES.

There were also filed for record for two miscellaneous papers. MARRIAGE LICENSES. Ramon N.Corona, 25, to Romanita Alero, 20 residences of Anaheim It is foreign to the mission of the press. The press is supposed to be run as the exponent of truth. The newspapers are quite as necessary to the best interests of the people as and the courts on one hand, and differently on the other. Each has its own proper sphere and the bench cannot usurp the functions of the press or vice versa without injury to the cause of justice. This is all very fine; but what of the Herald's attempt, some time ago, to convict Abran Aguilar of the crime of killing his runaway wife? Was not the Herald's reporter the most hysterical of the whole lot in his inveterate rancor against the accused man, and the most insistent in his endeavor to cast opprobrium upon him? And weren't his views backed up by the able editorial writers of that robust journal? If we recollect right, it seems to us that they were. Yet this man was proven clearly innocent in the end, and allowed to come home after paying several hundred dollars for his freedom. Add but for the insane utterances of the Los Angeles papers, each and all of them eager for a "sensation," and all of them led by the Herald, it is doubtful if his incarceration had exceeded a day, instead of being kept in prison for weeks. But for the Herald's utterances, no mob would have collected to string him up to the nearest telegraph pole, and it would not have been necessary for him, leaving his home and friends, and fearful of his life, to ask for a pistol with which to defend himself. As our recollection comes to us, we believe the Express was also most anxious to be the first to "give the news," and print all that was bad about this unlucky chap, who had a close call for his neck—a very close call indeed. Yet he had all along the strongest evidence in support of his avowal of innocence, but these were put in the background and referred to doubtfully, and there seemed to be a presconcerted notion on the part of the papers and police to convict him. O yes, it is all very fine to deyre the practice of "trial by newspaper," when it is undertaken by others, but the Herald beholds the mote in the other fellow's eye, and considers not the beam in its own. PERHAPS the greatest fasco of the year is the Examiner's story of the Decker case at Yroka. Twenty-seven years ago he separated from his wife, and they afterwards obtained a divorce. Recently the discovery of a lot of bones near his place gave rise to the very curious notion that he had killed her, and in a short time ten or eleven other murders were laid at his door. Decker was placed in jail, narrowly escaping the customary red-handed mob, and for a time was said to be visited nightly by the ghosts of his even dozen victims. His cries could be heard out on the street, so the veracious reports of the Examiner ran, and the other solitary inmate of the jail was all but frightened to death and could not sleep a wink over the unfortunate Decker's strange carryings on. Of a sudden Mrs. Decker appears upon the scene with her grown daughter, whom Decker was charged with having alain when a child, and the incoming trains, at last reports, contained an increasing multitude of arrivals eager to testify to never having been killed by this man. Both Decker and his wife had married again, the lady being getting work done. To do otherwise raises the presumption that there is a job by which the treasury is made to suffer, and when we find that the contract is let in a hole-and-corner way for more than seven times as much as it is worth, that presumption becomes a certainty. This year Tax Collector Freeman has chosen to disregard the established practice, and without saying a word to any newspaper publisher in the county, except the one he favors, he has let the contract for seven and one-half times as much as it can be done for. DONE IN SECRET. Mr. Freeman, in pursuance of his hole-and-corner tactics, let the contract for printing the delinquent list to the Orange county Herald at the rate of seventy-five cents a square. That is the highest rate allowed by the county ordinance fixing county rates, and it may be presumed that if the ordinance allowed one dollar a square, Mr. Freeman would have pressed the limit. As soon as the publisher of the Blade learned from Mr. Freeman what had been done he proceeded to make the following proposal: SANTA ANA, CAL., May 1, 1894. TO R. L. Freeman, Tax Collector Orange County: I hereby offer to print the delinquent tax list of Orange county for the current year in the Daily Evening Blade for ten (10) cents per square, legal measurement. EDWARD F. CAHILL, Publisher. The actual cost of setting the type for this work, paying printers full rates, is 7½ cents a square. The Blade did not want to make anything on the contract, and offered to do work for 2½ cents over the cost to cover incidentals. BUYING NEWSPAPERS. When this offer was submitted Mr. Freeman came to the Blade office and said we could have the contract provided that in addition to fulfilling the legal requirements, furnish his office with 500 copies of the paper every day for three weeks. The Blade was entirely willing to fulfill all the legal requirements of the contract but refused to furnish 500 copies demanded. Mr. Freeman has no power and no authority to make contracts for the purchase of newspapers, and if he has made a contract to that effect with the Herald as he says, that paper may find some difficulty in collecting its bill. On this filimay and transparent pretense Mr. Freeman refused to give the contract to the Blade. The Herald, he said, had agreed to give him 500 copies of three issues of the paper for distribution, and because the Blade would not furnish him 500 extra copies of eighteen issues he felt himself justified in letting the contract at seven aud-a-half times what it can be done for and all the legal requirements fulfilled. HE IS A CANDIDATE. Mr. Freeman says he is a candidate for nomination of the Republican party to succeed himself. It may be doubted whether that party will dare to load its ticket with a man with the record of a job like this, but if the court house ring has get slate fixed then the people may be trusted to administer a rebuke at the polls. The farmers are selling their eggs at ten cents a dozen, and find it hard to get that Mr. Freeman puts his hand in their pockets and makes them pay seven and-a-half prices on a big job. CHICAGO, May 19.—Miss Beatrice Harraden of London, author of "Ships. That Pass in the Night," is in the city on her way to California. She is a guest at the house of C. L. Williams, in Oak Park. She is a slender little woman, with great brown eyes, sun-browned complexion and a languor of manner that does not at all comport with the activity of her mind. Her thick black hair is worn short and parted at one side. She had little to say of herself or her work, except that she could not understand why getting work done.

HANFORD, Cal., May 22 — Word reached here that a little battle occurred yesterday during the progress of a Reagan primary at Dallas school held eighteen miles south, which resulted in death of James McCaffrey at the hands Wm.Ryan. James O.Ryan, father Wm.Ryan was mortally wounded. a dozen men are said to have been in battle, and no less than fifty shots fired. Officers and physicians have gone into the scene of the tragedy. The voting hall just commenced William Ryan offered to vote and was legged by W.P.McCord. The challenge brought on a dispute and soon half a dogmen in the room were engaged in fight J.O.Ryan attempted to draw a pistol was knocked down by W.P.McCord The two Ryans left the room,and when side,young Ryan began to fire at those house.A farmer named James McCuffey received a shot through the abdomen which killed him on the spot.During fight J.O.Ryan was shot,the ball enteredthe right side.He declared that GeMcCuffiedthe shot that hit him.YeRyan says he shot at McCord,but hit Caffrey. BRECKINRIDGE. WASHINGTON, May 21 — Representative W.C.P.Breckinridge was seen to-day as a report that a delegation of prominent tuckians intended to come here and urge withdrawal from the race for Congress favor of his Desha. Breckinridge was "I have heard the rumor." They can say me that the old man will be in Congress time.After that young man will allow take his chance in the race.for present I am still in it." LEXINGTON (Ky.), May 21 — Hon.Woens-to-day delivered his initial speech his anti-Breckinridge campaign to the poor Fully three hundred women were wearing Owens badges.The applause almost continuous throughout the spectacle showing that Owens was well received.said 60,000,000 people were awaiting verdict of the citizens of Ashland dust in this case,and he hoped,for the injunction manhood and womanhood ofthe State,the voters would do their duty and not in their tent,and go tothe pollsand against this burning disgrace. Amost disastrous flood occurred at Hankina on April 20,nows of which has been received.The river Han rose rap about midnight.coming up inthe first six feet.The loss of life at Hankina more than one hundred，while at higher upthe streamthe fatalities far more numerous.The total deaths more than five hundred. About raidnight onthe date mentionedenormous volumeof water came downfrom We hear a report to the effect that the "Half-way Saloon" is to be moved to the edge of this precinct where the proprietor will set up in business and ask for a license to carry on a saloon. This will hasten the prohibition doctrine. It is not absolutely necessary for us to have the "Half-way house"—we can get along abundantly well without it. Furthermore, if this man should be allowed to set himself up in the saloon business on the edge of the precinct, we have no doubt petitions will be extensively signed under the local option law to close him up, and the same may affect the saloons in this city. This "Half-way house" was driven out of Fullerton; we do not care to have it in our precinct. We are in receipt of a letter from a gentleman living in Riverside county saying that he will not be responsible for any debts contracted by his wife, who is supposed to residing in this city. These are very interesting notices, but they must be paid for in advance, and as the disconsolate Riverside county gentleman has failed to materialize in this important particular, the notice fails to appear. The act of Mr. Royal Freeman, the Republican County Tax Collector, in awarding the printing of the delinquent tax-list to a paper at Santa Ana without asking bids for the work from the other newspapers of the county, as has all along been the practice since the organization of the county, is a piece of official corruption that will scarcely be countenanced by the taxpayers of the county these hard times. The publication of the tax-list is one of the largest printing contracts of the year, and the interests of Chicago, May 19. — Miss Beatrice Harraden of London, author of "Ships. That Pass in the Night," is in the city on her way to California. She is a guest at the house of C. L. Williams, in Oak Park. She is a slender little woman, with great brown eyes, sun-browned complexion and a languor of manner that does not at all comport with the activity of her mind. Her thick black hair is worn short and parted at one side. She had little to say of herself or her work, except that she could not understand why the general public had taken up her book. She would have been disappointed, she said, if the book had been an artistic failure, but she cannot see what there is in it to set the public agog. She doesn't think she is great enough to make a plot and likes to let her stories write themselves. Miss Harraden likes America and of course, says she thinks Chicago is great. She will go West and live on a ranch near San Diego till she gets tired of it, after that she doesn't know what she will do. She is traveling alone. Counsel for Richard Heath, charged with the murder of Louis B. McWhirter, appeared before Judge Webb asking for a continuance of Heath's third trial, which had been fixed for June 19th, in consequence of W. W. Foote, the accused's counsel, being confined to bed by an accident which would prevent him from appearing in court before the Jrat of September. It was agreed that Heath's counsel should make a final motion on the 28th for postponement on the indictments, and they will consequently not be reached until next fall. Foote recently fell and broke his leg. A story comes up from Warner's ranch about an unusual kitten they have there. It is mostly a good-looking kitten of a gray complexion and is of regular shape from the tail forward to just beyond the ears, where it begins to grow into two kittens. It has almost four eyes and two distinct and well-formed mouths, two sets of teeth, two tongues and two tuneful howls. Two of the eyes occupy separate sockets at the side of the head and two more occupy one socket in the center of the head. Another peculiar thing is that the kitten was born with its eyes open. Its mother did not like it from the first and refused to nurse or notice it. The Phantom City of Glacier Bay. During the past eight or ten years a curious phenomenon has been observed at Glacier bay, Alaska. It always occurs immediately after the full moon of June and at no other time during the year and is said to be a beautiful mirage of some unknown city suspended in the rarefied air directly over the bay. A Juaneau (Alaska) photographer has taken pictures of it on four different occasions, but so far no one has been able to identify a single one of the ghostly buildings outlined on his plates.—St. Louis Republic. At most disastrous flood occurred at Hankins China on April 20, news of which has been received. The river Han rose rapidly about midnight, coming up in the first few feet. The loss of life at Hankins more than one hundred, while at higher up the stream the fatalities were far more numerous. The total deaths were more than five hundred. About raidnight on the date mentioned enormous volume of water came down on Han, carrying with it undoubted proof of destruction which it must have caused on its way, in the shape of broken furniture planks, beams, wreckage, etc. Very jinks, of which thousands are moored in mouth of Han, were able to stand against render the scene one of the most describable turmoil and confusion. Above eight hundred junks of various sizes were destroyed and many of the watermen their lives. Native reports from Yang-Le are to effect that over four hundred dead books have been washed ashore there and it likely that many more will be found. Salt Lake, May 21. — The horrible condition of Chinese opium den depravity exists in this city was plainly portrayed by the Police Court to-day, when Fon Gee, proprietor of a Second-South-street job was on trial. The accused has long been suspected as a conductor of a house where the extract of the poppy plant is smoked white women. For days and nights he place was under official surveillance. Women came and went. Evidence cumulated, and early yesterday morning Patrolmen Gillispi, Roberts and Ford raised the house. The story of the viciousness utter abandon related by the arresting cers beggars description. Two white women were found lying on the floor, complete under the influence of the drug, and almost in a nude state. With Fon Gee they were taken to the city jail. The Chinaman was charged with maintaining an opium joint on the women as being resorters. Fon Gee case was concluded before Judge Smith this afternoon. Fon declared that he was innocent. He was sent to jail for fifty days. Sacramento, May 22. — In the coyote scare case of Iogram vs. Controller Colgan for writ of mandate to compel that official issue his warrant on account of a coyote scalp claim in Kern county, Judge Catlitt to-day handed down a decision deciding favor of the claimant. Judge Catlitt has the Act of March 31, 1891, entitled "A Act fixing the bounty on coyote scalps," constituted. That the title of the act sufficently expressed its object and that this act does in substance contain an appropriation. REAL ESTATE SALES.

Hood's Sarasapilla is the great blood purifier, quickly conquering scrofa, salt rheum, and all other insidious enemies which attack the blood and undermine the health. It also builds up the whole system, curse dyspepsia and sick headache, and overcomes that tired feeling. Scrofaula Sorens. "My adopted boy, aged 14 years, suffered terribly from scrofaula sores on his leg, which spread till they at one time formed one great sore from the calf of his leg up to his thigh, partially covered with scab, and discharging matter continually." The muscles became contracted so that his leg was drawn up and he could hardly walk. We tried everything we would bear of, without success, until we began giving him Hood's Sarasapilla. In just a month after he had taken two-thirds of a bottle, the sores entirely healed, his leg is perfectly straight, and he Can Walk as Well as Ever. Hood's Sarasapilla is the best medicine I ever saw for scrofalous humor. It has done its work more than satisfactorily." WILLIAM SANDERS, Rockdale, Milam County, Texas.

Spring and Summer Dress Goods! SACRAMENTO, May 22.—The sudden departure of a popular minister with about $1,000 of borrowed money,the desertion of his wife and several children and the simultaneous disappearance of an attractive widow form a scandal which is raging in Placerville. About eight months ago, Rev. T.M Driver arrived in Placeville from the South to take the pastorate of the Methodist Episcopal Church there. He was accompanied to his new field by his wife and four children. The pastor about a week ago expressed a desire to go to a Methodist conference which was soon to begin in another part of the State. It was on this and similar representations that he was enabled to borrow, in sums ranging from $10 to $500, something in the neighborhood of $1000, but reports differ as to the aggregate.
