The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY...MAY 2, 1895 Mr. E. K. Benchley, one of the enterprising fruit growers of the Fullerton district, made us a pleasant visit one day last week, calling in the interest of the formation of a co-operative cannery at some available point in the valley, a meeting for the consideration of which is called to assemble at McDermont's Hall, Fullerton, on next Saturday afternoon. A co-operative cannery is one of the urgent needs of the valley. Tons of splendid fruit are permitted to go to waste annually, and deciduous fruit growers find themselves, more often than not, at the mercy of unscrupulous buyers, who traffic upon their lack of resources for otherwise disposing of their crops, with the result that their fruit goes at a low valuation, or is not disposed of at all, being permitted for the most part to rot upon the ground. This will never do, and the orchardists must have a change. The apricot crop of this section is estimated at about four hundred tons, not four thousand, as stated by a contemporary, although the crop this year is below the normal average, the season being an 'off year'. The different varieties of peach, prune and plum will very largely augment this output. Except in seasons of scarcity of fruit, or the annihilation of the crop elsewhere, our peach and apricot crop is marketed, if not at a loss, at least at a minimum of profit, so much so, indeed, that the industry holds out but very scant inducement for our farmers to continue in the business. The margin of profit, which should of course accrue to the grower, reverts to the middleman, the Eastern handlers of dried or canned fruit, who reap large profits annually, while the growers are for the most part left in the lurch. Under this condition of affairs, a co-operative cannery will prove to be the solution to this vexed problem of unprofitable deciduous fruit culture. Our fruit growers, orange orchardists, nut growers, and all, must come to the conclusion that in order to make their business yield the maximum of profit, they must be up and doing, they must help themselves, and have their eagle eye out that they may embrace every legitimate opportunity that offers for the betterment of their condition. Less talk of tariff protection, and less conscientious, or of more latitude in his scruples, assuredly had never paid many of the claims fastened so unjustly upon him, but he paid them all to the end, with the result that, once wealthy, he is now in circumstances quite the reverse. For some months he has experienced the vicissitudes of camping life on the frontier, and though rich mines are reported to have been found, it is doubtful if capital sufficient has been at hand to develop them. That he may be able to recoup, and soon be back again, in the enjoyment of his old-time prosperity, is the wish of his many friends in this section. A COMEDY OF ERRORS. The news which we print this morning, to the effect that the Western Union Telegraph Company has felt itself impelled to close its office here, will come in the nature of a surprise to many of our readers who have patronized the office for years and have come to regard it as one of the fixtures of the city. A letter from Superintendent Jaynes of the telegraph company to the City Clerk, which we publish in another column, is to the effect that his company considers the action of the City Fathers in requesting of them that they change their wires at the crossing of the two principal streets in town to a position less dangerously contiguous to the electric light wires, to be arbitrary; and although the Superintendent submits that in a suit at law he is confident his company could maintain their positions, yet rather than make the change, in the present state of the volume of their business, they have decided to close the office. We are sorry the company has felt itself called upon to take this action, and we trust even yet, with the intervention and good offices of the Chamber of Commerce acting as an intermediary in this unfortunate matter, the anticipated change may be forestalled, and the telegraph company be induced to remain. There appears to have been some apparent feeling between the company and the Burgomensterr, although we feel certain the latter intended to urge nothing unreasonable, or to do aught except such as experience and good judgment and friendliness toward the telegraph company would dictate. If the telegraph wires are in dangerous proximity to those of the electric lights, they ought to be changed, as much for the good of the telegraph people as for that of our citizens; if there be no danger in the present position of the wires, as the company would seem to insist, we fail to see the propriety of calling upon them to make the change. At all events, the matter is one of easy demonstration, and the solution it seems to us ought indubitably to be arrived for us. WAGES OF SIN. Louisville, Ky., April 30—In a shooting affray to-day Arch Brown was shot and killed by Fulton Gordon, Gordon was shot by Brown and Mrs. Gordon was shot by her husband. Brown and Gordon wife were in a disreputable house at Madison street. Gordon caught them together. He at once attacked Brown and shot him fatally. Brown returned the shot and injured Gordon. Gordon then turned the weapon on his wife and sent a bullet through her stomach, killing her instantly. Nine shots were fired. The guilty couple were taken completely by surprise. Brown had prepared, however, for such a visit as his pistol was lying near. Before he reached it enraged man had commenced firing. His aim was true and every attempt had taken effect, as Brown's bolt was riddled. Brown fired a few shots staggered to a chair in a corner, sank in moment and then fell over dead. Gordon then turned to his wife and fired at striking her in the body. Though mortally wounded she was able to get down the stairs and ran twenty feet to a cellar. Mrs Gordon was Miss Nellie Bush of city, and comes from one of the most prominent families in this city. She eloped Gordon about ten years ago and moved Frankfort. She was about 30 years old. She leaves three children. On account she alight family connections she murdered a great sensation. Young Brun was recently divorced. It is understood reason for the divorce was Brown's intimation with Mrs. Gordon. At noon, Brown with Gordon's wife knocked at the front door of Lucie Smith's Madison street house. They were admitted by Mattie Mittington, a colony woman, and immediately repaired to the stairs front room, which had been properly engaged. Thirty minutes later tall man knocked at the door of house and was admitted. This was Fu Gordon. He engaged the lower front rear saying a woman would join him shoot. The man closed all the doors and in a minutes later a commotion was heard aboiled by a succession of pistol shots. Then there was a hurried movement down stairs as Mrs. Gordon fled from the scene. A few more shots rang out and she dead on the porch in the rear yard. Don left the house immediately and after minutes later Brown's corpse was found upstairs room. Never was there a more sanguinary bar Gordon had little difficulty in getting into the room, as the fact that there are broken locks indicate that the entry was unlatched. As soon as Gordon gainedcess a desperate duel evidently beaten Brown had a 32 calibre revolver, which empty after the tragedy. Gordon must have two pistols, as six bullets pike Brown's body and three of them pierce Mrs. Gordon. The kid on which Mr. Bun and Mrs. Gordon lay was covered blood, showing that one or two had shot while in that position, or in the strangle one or more of the wounded had fallen fruit, who reap large profits annually, while the growers are for the most part left in the lurch. Under this condition of affairs, a cooperative cannery will prove to be the solution to this vexed problem of unprofitable deciduous fruit culture. Our fruit growers, orange orchardists, nut growers, and all, must come to the conclusion that in order to make their business yield the maximum profit, they must be up and doing, they must help themselves, and have their eagle eye out that they may embrace every legitimate opportunity that offers for the betterment of their condition. Less talk of tariff protection, and more work such as Mr. Naftzger accomplished at Denver the other day, when he succeeded in inducing the Interstate Commerce Commission to lower the rate on oranges to Atlantic seaboard points from $1.25 per hundred to 85 cents, or 60 cents a box, will soon bring the emancipation of our fruit growing classes. More co operative canneries, more reliance upon our resources, and less upon foreign buyers, who come to us to reap the maximum of profit at a minimum of outlay; more work in our own behalf and less appealing to the generosity of foreign purchasers, who are generous only to themselves—and the solution of our unprofitable deciduous fruit industry will be at hand. Let the orchardists attend the meeting and see to it that the cannery enterprise is put in the way to successful consumption. Let us have the cannery, let the deciduous fruit growers stand in line with the associated orange growers and the cabbage raisers, and we shall hear no more of splendid apricots and presher worth $25 per ton for their apricots, they had better get together and talk up this cannery. The recent financial reverses of a gentleman long a resident of this city, and favorably known throughout the county, who is at present engaged with a party of friends in seeking for mineral deposits in Mexico, with a mine of fabulous richness, concerning which stories more or less authentic have come up from time to time in recent years, as the possible objective point of their destination, have caused a pang of regret to his many friends in this neighborhood. Recently foreclosure proceedings, the outcome of a heavy mortgage on his home place, have been instituted, and the property will in all probability soon be undergoing the process of Sheriff's sale. One by one actions of a similar nature have recently been pressed against him, until at present he has not a dollar's worth of property unincumbered in the place where he was once regarded as being among the wealthiest of our population. In the years immediately antedating the boom he was energetic in the work of developing the latent resources of this section, and to his enthusiasm in embarking in enterprises for the upbuilding of the city and contiguous territory, may be traced the inception of the difficulties which have served to envelop and have finally engulped him. He was successful at the start, and turned over money with a free hand on taking up his residence here some ten years ago. Foreseeing the impending rise in the price of realty, he purchased a tract of fifty acres north of town at $60 per acre and soon disposed of it at $135. although we feel certain the latter intended to urge nothing unreasonable, or to do aught except such as experience and good judgment and friendliness toward the telegraph company would dictate. If the telegraph wires are in dangerous proximity to those of the electric lights, they ought to be changed, as much for the good of the telegraph people as for that of our citizens; if there be no danger in the present position of the wires, as the company would seem to insist, we fail to see the propriety of calling upon them to make the change. At all events, the matter is one of easy demonstration, and the solution it seems to us ought indubitably to be arrived at without the necessity for the telegraph company feeling it to be their duty to close its office and to detach us from the circuit of their wires. So far from treating them arbitrarily, we assure them it is the purpose of the people of this city to treat them with the most profound and respectful consideration. We desire to do nothing to hamper them, have all along succeeded in getting on with them on terms of friendly fellowship, and have suggested these recent changes, not to take arbitrary action against them—very far from it—but for their own welfare, quite as much as for that of the people of this city. If the telegraph company do not see the necessity for an immediate change in their wires, we feel confident our people will be content to leave the matter so. With calling attention to what we have conceived to be a dangerous proximity of the wires, we are content to let the matter rest, if in the company's judgment no danger is imminent, and no immediate changes necessary. And way in making any changes that might be necessary. But we most certainly desire to take no arbitrary action against them. We have been quite an important point in telegraph business in the past, and have all along maintained a salaried office. All laying for Tustin, McPherson and Orange is done here, and Los Angeles messages from these points are here repeated. Wires from the north and south have their termini here, and messages are accordingly repeated from one wire to the other. The telegraph has had its wires in town for twenty years, and it compacts illly with our recently exhibited progressive spirit as a community, to contemplate its withdrawal at this late day. Of course, if the telegraph decides finally to leave its place will, we hope, be taken by the Postal Telegraph, but we trust a compromise may be arrived at whereby this contemplated removal may be avoided. We do not desire that the telegraph company shall feel that it is necessary for them to go into court to maintain their rights here, and there can exist no antagonism or ill-feeling against them. This comedy of errors has gone far enough. Let the telegraph company remain! Coming down from Los Angeles the other day, a crowd of Rivera farmers, laughing and gossiping like a flock of blackbirds in the tree top, sat in the smoker directly ahead of us, and between their yarns and hilarious laughter, they settled down at last to talk about the tariff on oranges. The exchange's letter to Senator White came in for its share of ridicule—the present tariff seemed at together high enough, if not too high, to suit their notions of propriety. There being but although we feel certain the latter intended to urge nothing unreasonable, or to do aught except such as experience and good judgment and friendliness toward the telegraph company would dictate.

In the years immediately anticating the boom he was energetic in the work of developing the latent resources of this section, and to his enthusiasm in embarking in enterprises for the upbuilding of the city and contiguous territory, may be traced the inception of the difficulties which have served to envelop and have finally engulped him. He was successful at the start, and turned over money with a free hand on taking up his residence here some ten years ago. Foreseeing the impending rise in the price of realty, he purchased a tract of fifty acres north of town at $60 per acre and soon disposed of it at $135. He started an orange orchard at Placentia, of some 170 acres, which is now one of the most splendid pieces of orchard property in Southern California. Those who watched his subsequent financial ventures closely had become aware of the fact that, the obb of the interest in land buying having set in, he was gradually becoming enveloped in debt, but the majority of his friends were not at all prepared for the subsequent announcement, on his finally being compelled to relinquish the property to which he had given a number of the best years of his life to develop, that he had incurred an indebtedness upon it of upwards of forty thousand dollars. This amount was more than he could carry, and being gradually pushed to the wall, had to give up what he purposed making in his mind's eye the home of his declining years. When the Carltep and Pomona railroad, designed to connect this city with the rich lands of the Placentia and Olinda districts, and tapping the country northward to Chino and the towns contiguous, came on, he embarked into the enterprise with spirit; and the roadbed graded across the sandwash and up the canyon in the hills chosen as the route of the railway, is about all that remains of the ten thousand dollars which he is credited with having sunk in the venture. He was not the only one of our citizens who was "pinched" in the operation, but no one tarred less illly than he. He paid bills of creditors against the company who had very little claim against him, and he mortgaged his realty to raise funds to meet these demands. His luck seemed to turn, and disaster seemed to follow fast and follow faster, until a year or two ago it became known that he was hopelessly involved in debt. His Placentia orchard had to go, to meet demands maturing against him, and it is doubtful if the trade resulted profitably to him. A man COMING down from Los Angeles the other day, a crowd of Rivera farmers, laughing and gossiping like a flock of blackbirds in the tree top, sat in the smoker directly ahead of us, and between their yarns and hilarious laughter they settled down at last to talk about the tariff on oranges. The exchange's letter to Senator White came in for its share of ridicule—the present tariff seemed altogether high enough, if not too high, to suit their notions of propriety. There being but one or two per cent of the people of the county engaged in orange raising, it would be absurd to ask the remaining bulk of the population to pay the advanced price for oranges that the increased tariff would give them. Oranges were a luxury, any how, and we expect some of the Riveraites thought they ought to be placed upon the freelist. They were a' agreed, however, that the tariff was quite high enough, and none of them would listen to anything tending to a higher duty. But when it came to talking about the tariff on walnuts—that was another thing; they would take a little of that in theirs, and say nothing about it. The irresponsible daws of the press have been insistent in their pecking at the names of a lady and gentleman residing here, coupling their names with a runaway marriage, with an elopement, and with all the sins that could possibly be conjectured against them. One irresponsible scribbler says they are married, one that they are not, and so it goes until probably the gentleman will be urged to resent the remarks of those gossiping intruders by "smashing" some of them "in the jaw"—as, shades of Sullivan, they richly deserve. If these two soft young hearts wish to beat in unison, if they wish to possess a couple of souls with but a single thought: two hearts that beat as one—whose business is it but their own? In the spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, and love is what makes the world go round. Let these irresponsible daws of the press take a tumble, let them get "next to themselves"—they are "full of bubbles." And let these two fonds hearts alone. If they wish to be married, it's nobody's business but their own, and doubtless the happy time will soon come for the "bless you my children, bless you." Whoopee! Shower us with powdered ice!

The culture of the fig is likely to assail a greater importance in California because a successful enterprise affecting the industry which has been started by G. Roeding is cheapening cheap drugs, cheap help, and even thing on the cheap order. "Pays your money and takes your choice." You Pays Your Money and Takes Your Choice. A case that is set for hearing in Juvenile Court in Los Angeles on May 14th will attract considerable attention, is that State against W. S. Kirkham, a presiding clerk at the Owl cut rate dragger charged with misdemeanor in selling potassium labeled by M. L. Wilson, who claims he went store to get some bromide of potassium and was given by Kirkham a packet that thus labeled. His wife took a dose of drug and became ill that doctor called in, and he decided that the medicine supposed to be bromide was in reality acetate lead, a poison. The complaining with alleges that his wife was ill several days consequence of having taken the drug; he made a criminal charge against her script clerk, intending to follow it with a civil suit for $5,000 damages. It is a thing that has not happened amalgamate reliable druggists in the hundreds of stores in Southern California for years With reliable druggists the first idea is curacy and quality. With cheap-john rate concerns the first idea is cheapening cheap drugs, cheap help, and every thing on the cheap order. "Pays your money and takes your choice." WAGES OF SIN. MILLE, Ky., April 30—In a shootto-day Arch Brown was shot and Fulton Gordon, Gordon was shot and Mrs. Gordon was shot and her husband. Brown and Gordon's house in a disreputable house at 1025 street. Gordon caught them toHe at once attacked Brown and fatally. Brown returned the fire fired Gordon. Gordon then turned on his wife and sent a bullet other stomach, killing her instantly. Shots were fired. The guilty couple then completely by surprise. Brown caused, however, for such a visit and was lying near. Before he could the enraged man had commenced His aim was true and every shot have taken effect, as Brown's body bled. Brown fired a few shots, and to a chair in a corner, sank in it a and then fell over dead. Gordon named to his wife and fired at her, other in the body. Though mortally she was able to get down the steps twenty feet to a caller. Gordon was Miss Nellie Bush of this and comes from one of the most prominials in this city. She eloped with about ten years ago and moved to port. She was about 30 years old. Loves three children. On account of family connections the murder has a great sensation. Young Brown identify divorced. It is understood the for the divorce was Brown's intimacy with Gordon. Brown with Gordon's wife, and at the front door of Lucie B. Madison street house. They were led by Mattie Mittington, a colored and immediately repaired to the upfront room, which had been previengaged. Thirty minutes later a tall man knocked at the door of the and was admitted. This was Fulton He engaged the lower front room, a woman would join him shortly. An closed all the doors and in a few later a commotion was heard above, by a succession of pistol shots. There was a hurried movement down Mrs Gordon fled from the scene. More shots rang out and she fell in the porch in the rear yard. Gort at the house immediately and a few later Brown's corpse was found in stairs room. Mr was there a more sanguinary battle. Had little difficulty in getting into from, as the fact that there are no blocks indicate that the entry was left bed. As soon as Gordon gained acdesperate duel evidently began. had a 32 calibre revolver, which was after the tragedy. Gordon must have two pistols, as six bullets pierced his body and three of them pierced Gordon. The kid on which Mr. Brownars. Gordon lay was covered with showing that one or two had been killed in that position, or in the struggle more of the wounded had fallen there. CAPRE FIG AND AT A CERTAIN STAGE OF THE FIG FRUITION ENTERS THE DOMESTIC FIG AND DEPOSITS THE CAPRE FIG POLLEN WHICH PERFECTS THE FRUIT. It is this strange operation which makes the Smirna fig so superior in flavor and, consequently, so much higher priced than the common fig of California. Mr. Roeding proposes to import the fig wasp in large numbers and to try and induce fig raisers all over the State to do likewise. "I have examined the insects," says Entomologist Alexander Craw of the Horticultural Commission, "and find they are successfully passing from the larvae into the chrysalis stage. The importance of Mr. Roeding's enterprise to fig culture cannot be over estimated. The result of it will be that the California fig will be equal if not superior to the fig of Smyrna." THE SKIN OF ANIMALS. In Some It Is a Defensive Armor Made of Horn and Bone. Osteologist Lucas of the National museum is preparing a new exhibit, which is designed to show the various modifications of the skin of animals. To begin with, there will be a queer sort of alligator from South America, called the "jacari." It is quite different from any alligator from North America, belonging to a peculiar genus that has bony plates on the under side as well as on the upper side of the body. This is a distinguishing mark of the tribe, such alligators as are known elsewhere in the world being thus armored only on their backs. The armor plates of the alligators are of true bone—the same sort of bone as that of the animal's skeleton. If you will examine the skin on the back of your hand, you will find that it is corrugated and broken up with fine lines in such a way that you can easily imagine its texture transformed by exaggeration into scales. Now, you have only to gaze upon an armadillo in order to see such a modification of the skin. In Africa is found a yet more curious animal, called the "Manis macrura," which is the most scaly of all scaly beasts. From the tip of its nose to the end of a very long tail it is clad in big horny scales that overlap one another. When alarmed, it curls itself up into a tight ball, and the scales being quite sharp it is pretty safe against attack. In this case also the scales are only modified skin. It is worth mentioning, by the way, that the Manis macrura possesses a greater number of vertebrae than any other mammal.

Gorget at the house immediately and a few later Brown's corpse was found in stairs room. Mr. Lucas will show, in the same case with the jacari and the armadillo, a "soheltopusfo." This is a lizard from Sicily. The casual observer would take it for a snake, its legs being rudimentary and concealed beneath its skin. The entire body of the reptile is covered with little plates of bone. As in the case of the alligator, above described, the bony plates of the lizard are merely modified skin. The same is true of the very remarkable "boxfish" of the West Indies, which is clad in a complete armor of six sided plates of bone, which are fastened to the skull and to the bases of the dorsal and anal fins. An odd point about this fish is that it cannot bind its body at all, the vertebra, save only three or four near the tail, being fused together. Thus the backbone is a solid rod. The scales of the armadillo are of bone, covered with horn, the bone and the horn corresponding respectively to the true skin and the epidermis of a human being or other animal. Bony plates and spines are modifications of the true skin, while horn is modified epidermis. Human beings sometimes develop horns, but they are abnormal growths. Another quer鱼 that will be shown in connection with this exhibit is the "globefish," which is found in waters off the coast of South Carolina. It is clad in an armor of interlocked spines, which are made to stand erect at the will of the animal, thus rendering the low. In a world like this, where every living creature is the prey and food of others, animals are often obliged to put on coats of mail if they would survive. Mr. Lucas will make fur and feathers a part of the exhibit. Feathers and hair are the same thing, differently modified, of course. A stuffed and fretful porcupine will illustrate the fact that mammals as well as birds have quills. This is true of several species of mammals, notably the European hedgehog, which is a disagreeable creature to handle without gloves. Awhile ago there were a couple of porcupines in the zoological collection in the rear of the Smithsonian institution. One of them assailed an attendant and stuck about 30 of its quills into his legs. He (the attendant, not the porcupine) told a writer for The Star that the quills came out of the porcupine much more easily than they came out of his leg.—Washington Star. One Chicago Millionaire. To see him at the race track, for instance, leaning against the fence watching the animals come out for the preliminary canter, no one would suspect that he owned the favorite and a whole stable full of other cracker jacks, and that he had several thousand dollars at stake. If some nervous man who had just played $5 on the favorite should ask him what he thought of the chance of winning, he would merely chuckle and say, "Y'can't tell a thing about it." His clothes are so plain, and he has such a farmerish way of whirling or else chewing at straws, that he is overlooked in the ordinary assemblage or mistaken for some humble personage.

Case that is set for hearing in Justice Court in Los Angeles on May 14, and exact considerable attention, is that of the case against W. S. Kirkham, a prescripter at the Owl cut rate drugstore, with misdemeanor in selling poison merely labeled. The complaint is sworn by L. Wilson, who claims he went to get some bromide of potassium, given by Kirkham a packet that was labeled. His wife took a dose of the acid became so ill that a doctor was taken, and he decided that the medicine had to be bromide was in reality acetate a poison. The complaining witness said his wife was ill several days inence of having taken the drug, and he a criminal charge against the pre-clerk, intending to follow it up in civil suit for $5,000 damages. This finding that has not happened among reliable druggists in the hundreds is in Southern California for years. Reliable druggists the first idea is accurate and quality.
