STORY OF THE HAWKINS’ SUDDENLY ACQUIRED RICHES—FREAKS OF A CALIFORNIA MONTE CRISTO. HOUSTON, Tex., April 17.—Hundreds of people who lived in Los Angeles fifteen or sixteen years ago, and in fact thousands of newspaper readers on the Pacific coast, will find in this article the correct solution of a series of riddles and be enabled to penetrate the mysterious cloud that enveloped two individuals who once created a great sensation in “The City of the Angels.” About twenty years ago one Eli W. Hawkins and his wife turned up in Los Angeles and purchased a large body of fine land about fifteen miles southeast of the city, in the vicinity of Old Nietos. Hawkins at once began to buy all the little farms in the neighborhood. He employed an army of architects, masons, carpenters and laborers. In the short space of three months a magnificent castle that would have adorned any baronial possession in Europe sprang into existence in the center of his vast estate. Miles after miles of plank and wire fence enclosed the great farm. He could not wait for trees to grow; he was too impatient for anything of that sort. Science and arboriculturists people used to talk of the Hawkins pair and their limitless wealth. Hawkins and his wife both died several years ago, and a stereotype article containing many of the facts herein related floated in newspaper waters all over the civilized world for several months. The writer read it in a foreign language and in a foreign country, and wondered if the mystery would ever be solved. A few evenings ago a group of old Texans, all cattlemen, were seated in the rotunda of the Avenue Hotel in Austin, when one of them asked of another: “What in thunder do you suppose ever became of Eli Hawkins?” “Went to California with a big drove of cattle is all I know,” was the reply. The first man looking very thoughtful and throwing away his cigarette, said: “Do you know, I always thought that Hawkins and that other fellow dug up two or three bushels of Santa Anna’s gold down on the San Jose River.” Then your correspondent opened his ears and began to cultivate the acquaintance of the old Texans. This is what he got for his pains: Away back in the ’60s Hawkins owned a big cattle ranch and a herd if some 10,000 or 15,000 head of cattle out south of San Antonio. There had, for a long time, been a vague tradition in that country that Santa Anna had buried an immense treasure on the banks of the San Antonio river after the fall of the Alamo, before he commenced his hazardous march into the interior. Hundreds of other people are searching for it yet. An old Mexican soldier who lived in that neighborhood always claimed that he knew exactly where the treasure was buried. In fact, he had been frequently heard to say that he helped to conceal it. No one believed him. This old soldier and Hawkins suddenly became very intimate. They were often seen drinking and gambling together in San Antonio. One night a man named John Sells came upon three men who were busily digging a deep hole in the ground. Sells, curious to know what was going on, hid in the bushes and watched them. The next morning Sells told one of his neighbors that he had seen Eli Hawkins, an old Mexican and a stranger dig up gold enough to load a jackass and two or three horses. Such stories had often floated about in that country, and all that Sells could bring forth to substantiate his statement was a big hole in the ground on the banks of the San Antonio river. A few days after this the old Mexican soldier was seen in San Antonio not yet out of her teens, who left room for the altar and an exaltation will bring a part of Versailles into The Grand Trianon took its new village upon whose site it was built time Louis Phillippe took up his there with his whole court, numerous persons. Many writers say that it was Louis as a retreat whither be co-solitude when weary of the splendour. But this villas, as it was destroyed in 1687, and in its place the present Grand Trianon for Mr. tenon, after plans by Mansard, is a long building, with two w magnificent peristyle overlooking honor. Years have not destroyed dor of its columns and facades and tiful lines of its arcades, nor have stroyed the charming effect o stone. Louis Phillippe added to the original building. It was in this building that Mman tenon, whom the King afterward ruled the whole kingdom of France of its noble apartments have few in the very smallest of the rooms compared with modern ones. The Trianon contains rooms with the bed-chamber and study of the poeleo. It was here that they planned some of the bold strokes on him famous. The gardens of the Grand Trianon a state of neglect, but they were beautiful. The Countess de Castille poses having elaborate gardens new home. Those of Versailles are its fountain water over seventy feet in cost $2,000 to have them dis twenty minutes. It will be interesting to watch thaof of the new Grand Trianon, but much more interesting to look plain American girl, whose father life with a moustrap, presiding over like the Trianon, where ruled Mman tenon and Napoleon, and where Victoria was a guest. MESSINA ORANGE The United States consul at Mad ports to the department of state, uf May 6th, the following relative son’s business in the orange line: I beg leave to call the department tion to the following figures show About twenty years ago one Eli W. Hawkins and his wife turned up in Los Angeles and purchased a large body of fine land about fifteen miles southeast of the city, in the vicinity of Old Los Nietos. Hawkins at once began to buy all the little farms in the neighborhood. He employed an army of architects, masons, carpenters and laborers. In the short space of three months a magnificent castle that would have adorned any baronial possession in Europe sprang into existence in the center of the vast estate. Miles after miles of plank and wire fence enclosed the great farm. He could not wait for trees to grow; he was too impatient for anything of that sort. Science and arboriculturists were called to his aid. Forcast trees fifteen, or may be fifty, years of age were dug up with tons of dirt adhering to their roots and transplanted in his parks and fields. Very soon there were shaded lanes, avenues and boulevards, that looked to a stranger as if they were the result of a quarter of a century's careful culture. Sculptors and painters were employed. There were statues of gods and godesses at every turn, and some beautiful equestrian statues of marble were erected in front of the palace. Neither Hawkins nor his life had the remotest idea of their beauty, value, or significance. A picture of the battle of Austerlitz covered one entire wall of the big parlor, and these were some magnificent paintings in the great hall that an agent in New York had purchased and sent out to California. Hawkins did not know the value of any one of them. He would never answer any question seriously. He would jokingly say with a chuckle that "this one cost a half bushel of money," and then perhaps he would look just a little grave and ask you what the picture represented. Very few people of Los Angeles county were ever in that house. The writer has been often, and wondered what it all meant. Hawkins and his wife were both capable of doing plenty of talking, but the moment a visitor manifested the least curiosity or inquisitiveness as to the amount or source of so much wealth they would close the conversation as with an iron door. Hawkins kept a stable full of blooded Kentucky horses, and whenever he drove out on any road the team was put to a gallop. He never let the horses trot. In those days people who lived on the road took their guests to the door to see Hawkins and his wife pass in their carriage, the horses flying under the lash as if they were on the race course. Often the strange woman could be heard shouting to her husband to drive faster. She told the writer that she had heart disease, and that the only way for her to obtain relief was for her to get in the carriage and make the horses fly. She dug die of heart trouble a few years afterward. Hawkins was just about the toughest and roughest looking white man that ever passed before the organs of vision of any Californian. He often boasted that fine clothes made him miserable, and that he was happier with rags enough on him to wad a shotgun than he could possibly be in a $100 suit. He was always losing gold watches, and upon more than one occasion he threw $300 watches at the heads of his flying horses. Upon one occasion, when coming out of Los Angeles, he drove his blooded race horses and carriage over a fine old citizen by the name of Pallet. Pallet had hosts of friends, and in the suit for damages that resulted, Hawkins had to go pretty deep into his pockets. Judge Brunson, recently on the Supreme bench of California, and I think Judge Ross, were Pallet's attorneys. I was present at the Pico House after the suit had been compromised, and I heard lawyers talking and wondering where on earth such a curiosity and devil of a man could have sprung from, and whatever could be the origin or source of such apparently exhaustible wealth. Hawkins had money in every bank and was at all times ready to buy anything that struck his fancy, and pay the price for it. His wife did not know one note of music from another, nor would she have been able to distinguish a piano from a calliope or a threshing machine. Nevertheless Hawkins bought her a dozen of the finest pianos that his agent could find in the city. About twenty years ago one Eli W.

His wife did not know one note of music from another, nor would she have been able to distinguish a piano from a calliope or a throaching machine. Nevertheless Hawkins bought her a dozen of the finest pianos that his agent could procure in New York city. The old woman heedd a gal playin' on one at the Pico House," he said, "and she concluded that she would larn to play one herself. So I jeas' went and ordered a dozen of the things." There was some of the finest furniture and the prettiest carpets in that house that I have ever seen in any part of the world. Upon one occasion Hawkins bought a $1,000 carriage and hitched four white stallions to it. The people of Los Angeles were astounded to see the man himself seated on the box and lazing the horses into fury as they flew through the streets. Mrs. Hawkins was seated inside smiling, apparently unconscious of danger and perfectly happy. While they were enjoying this freak a circus and menagerie came to town. Hawkins determined he would join the parade, and, with his white stallions parisoned and plumed, he galloped around in front of the band wagon. The procession was entirely too slow for him. Two or three times they circled around the procession, to the intense dissatisfaction of the circus people and the infinite delight of the crowd on the pavement. People laughed themselves hoarse. After a while Hawkins ran over a cage of wildcats. The frantic animals sprang into the street, and Mrs. Hawkins turned a dozen somersaults, which made the circus people jealous of her acrobatic abilities. Hawkins' horses tore furiously about the procession. The circus horses soon caught the spirit of deviltry and fifteen or twenty teams hitched to the cages run away. All of Los Angeles was at the windows and housetops enjoying the most outrageous panorama of deviltry that mortals ever witnessed. Hawkins or his wife never uttered a harmful word of any human being. All they wanted was to be let severely alone. He was always armed, and I am pretty certain that he was a dangerous man. Upon one occasion he returned home from San Francisco escorted by a silver cornet band of fifteen or twenty pieces. He kept the boys out at his big castle for three or four weeks. Never was there in California an affair that could have held a candle to this riproaring jollification and carousel. The boys were certainly wined and dined as long as they could blow a horn or get a horn to their lips. Some people thought that Hawkins and his wife were both crazy, but that was an error. They could be as shrewd in driving a bargain as anybody when occasion required. When ever conversation lagged in Los Angeles, ANNA GOULD FLYING HIGH. Part of Jay Gould's millions are to be spent in reproducing the retreat of Louis XIV, the home of the infamous Mme. de Maintenon. The young daughter of the plain, unassuming American, with his simple tastes, and his hatred of display, who devoted his whole life to gaining his great wealth, is to build another Grand Trianon for herself and her titled husband. She will use the money which came to her and which attracted the attention of the seion of the Talleyrands to place in Paris a copy of that building which is so closely associated with the most profligate, riotous and licentious court the world has ever known. The slender American girl, who is clauremont, was held in the G. A. R. hall, Santa Ana, on Monday afternoon, May 6th, to arrange for officers, committees and program for the coming meeting.

Gazette. not yet out of her teens, who left the schoolroom for the altar and an exalted position, will bring a part of Versailles into Paris. The Grand Trianon took its name from a village upon whose site it was built. At one time Louis Phillippe took up his residence there with his whole court, numbering 360 persons. Many writers say that it was built by Louis as a retreat whither he could go for solitude when weary of the splendors of the court. But this villa, as it was called, was destroyed in 1687, and in its place was built the present Grand Trianon for Mme de Maintenon, after plans by Mansard. The palace is a long building, with two wings and a magnificent peristyle overlooking a court of honor. Years have not destroyed the splendor of its columns and facades and the beautiful lines of its arcades, nor have they destroyed the charming effect of its white stone. Louis Phillippe added a gallery to the original building. It was in this building that Mme. de Maintenon, whom the King afterward married, ruled the whole kingdom of France. Many of its noble apartments have few equals, and the very smallest of the rooms are large, compared with modern ones. The Trianon contains rooms which were the bed-chamber and study of the first Napoleon. It was here that the Emperor planned some of the bold strokes that made him famous. The gardens of the Grand Trianon are in state of neglect, but they were once very beautiful. The Countess de Castellane purposes having elaborate gardens about her new home. Those of Versailles are famous. Its fountains are unequalled. Some of them pour water over seventy feet in the air. It costs $2,000 to have them displayed for twenty minutes. It will be interesting to watch the progress of the new Grand Trianon, but it will be much more interesting to look upon this main American girl, whose father started in life with a mousetrap, presiding over a palace like the Trianon, where ruled Mme. de Maintenon and Napoleon, and where Queen Victoria was a guest. MESSINA ORANGES. The United States consul at Messina, reports to the department of state, under date May 6th, the following relative to the season's business in the orange line: I beg leave to call the department's attention to the following figures showing the SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS Beatty Bros., one of the oldest dry goods houses at Santa Ana, have assigned. Tustin women in bloomers have invaded that quiet city, coming out in the moon's pale rays, and the town is said to be considerably agitated thereat. The backward state of the beet crop in Europe, which may reduce the yield very much, and the insurrection in Cuba, which interferes with the cane crop, has advanced the price of sugar three-eighths of a pound. Raw sugar is up half a cent a pound from these two causes, and refined sugar has followed it. The big Norwegian ship Fjeld, bound from Grimsby, Eng., for San Diego with a cargo of coal, is all but given up for lost. Shipping men are asking 90 per cent, to ensure her. She has been out 206 days. Shipowners believe that the ship on fire and deserted fifty miles south of the equator was the missing vessel. Three men entered an Oakland drugstore early Sunday morning and hold up the night clerk. They bound and gagged him and got away with about $300. While two of them behind the prescription case looking for money the third stood in the doorway and engaged a policeman in conversation, finally walking down the street with him. The orange shipments from Riverside for the week ending May 9, were 63,972 boxes, or 224 carloads, a total for the season of 1,714 carloads. This is their largest shipment of oranges in one week. There was paid to the associations $25,767, making a total of $300,049.41. This represents less than half the amount for which the shipments were sold. The San Francisco athletic club picnicked at Russian River Sunday and two young men were drowned. John Nelson, aged 18, went in bathing in the river. The swift current swept him from his feet and he was drowned. Two hours later, undeterred by Nelson's fate, William Kavanaugh went into the river at the same place and was also drowned. Teresa Ramirez, a demure Spanish maiden living in Los Angeles, has brought suit against Alfred Scott Chapman, one of the most prominent and wealthy horticulturists of that city, for $50,000 damages on account of breach of promise to marry. She became engaged to Chapman in May, but in August sought an attorney and consulted him about the suit. He will not name the damages, but will leave it to the jury to decide how much his whiskers were worth. In Covington, Ky., James T. Estes, a rich farmer, was killed Sunday afternoon by Willing Green, 23 years old, who was running away with his daughter. The couple had reached Rev. Hardwell's residence intending to get him to perform the ceremony, when just as Green stepped out of the buggy Estes and his son came up. Green shot Estes, killing him, and also fired twice at the son, but without result. Green then proceeded to Broughtonville where he and the girl were married. Miss Katherine Felton of Oakland has been declared by the faculty of the State University to be the most distinguished scholar in the class of 195 and therefore entitled to the university medal. The award was not a surprise; for the young lady has a record of being one of the hardest workers in the university. She had an earnest competitor in Will H. Gorrill. He was a very close second, and there was really little difference between the two, who are the best of friends. From May 15 until 30 San Francisco will be in total darkness night, with the exception of sunny nights on the moon may afford. The Supervisors adopted a resolution instructing the electric-light and gas companies to shut on their lights between the dates mentioned, in order to save enough money to conduct the prisons, hospital and fire department until the end of the fiscal year. There are no funds available in the treasury to maintain these public institutions, and the contractors refused to furnish supplies unless guaranteed their pay. The failure of the well-known dry goods firm of Beatty Bros., one of the oldest at Santa Ana, is a surprise to many friends of that firm, who were thought to be in good financial circumstances. The firm admitted judgment in favor of the First National Bank of Santa Ana and Richard Beaty on promissory notes aggregating $8,260. The obligations which caused the failure are: Richard Beaty, promissory note for $5,800; executed January 29, 1895; First National Bank, promissory note for $2,030; executed May 1, 1895; First National Bank, promissory note for $480; executed February 6, 1895. The place is in the hands of the Sheriff. Nine thousand dollars are supposed to be hidden away among the rafters or in an old wall. MESSINA ORANGES. The United States consul at Messina, reports to the department of state, under date May 6th, the following relative to the season's business in the orange line: I beg leave to call the department's attention to the following figures showing the phenomenal increase this season in the exportation of oranges from Messina to the United States: From November 1, 1893, to March 31, 1894, there were shipped to the United States from this port 95,376 boxes, from November 1, 1894, to March 23, 1895, the exportations amounted to 338,507 boxes. Other words, for that portion of the season far completed, the increase over last year 243,131 boxes, and the remaining period between this day's and March 31, will probably swell that increase to 260,000 boxes. These figures are from official records of theustom house, which are more accurate than biggest of the consular invoice book would be the latter containing no account of shipments which are valued at less than $100. When we consider that up to the present we exportations exceed the total of last season's shipments by 143,290 boxes—the latter only amounting to 195,217 boxes—it is prefected. The reason for the increased exportation is a report that was carried here that the orda orange crop had been destroyed. Immediately upon its receipt every shipper had his attention to oranges, and I am sorry to say, for many of them it was a costly experiment, for the supply very often exceeded the demand, and the prices obtained many instances were not remunerative. The orange season generally lasts until July, but I do not think that the same disposition will be maintained at the close year as at present, for the reason that shippers are disheartened at the low cost obtained, and also because the late crop suffered material damage from the cold weather and heavy gales which have prevailed for the last two months; but it is the general opinion that last season's business be exceeded this season by at least 150 percent. So a few, the experience of the last few days has brought some revenue; to many as manifested, to their cost, the inexor laws of supply and demand, but to the commercial world at large, it has been proven even if all of the orange groves of all other is ravished by storm and flood, the can be bountifully supplied from the insustable mountain sides and valleys of island of Sicily.

The place is in the hands of the Sheriff. Nine thousand dollars are supposed to be hidden away among the rafters or in an old well near the home of Ghizoo Lorenzo, the eccentric old gardener who was killed last Friday night by a Southern Pacific engine at Oakland. Public Administrator Knight searched through the house, but found no trace of treasure. Every nook and corner of the hermit's rookery will be explored and every foot of ground in the garden will be spaded in search of the fortune that he is known to have possessed. Guards have been put in charge of the place. Several months ago Lorenzo had $14,000 in the Oakland Bank of Savings. He drew the money out. He was known to often take his money out of the bank, keep it a while, evidently hidden some place, and then deposit it again. Upon investigation since his death the Public Administrator has found only $5,000 in the hermit's credit in the Oakland banks. It is positively known by those acquainted with his eccentricities that the old man secreted his money somewhere on the premises. State Senator Peter R. Morrissey was shot and instantly killed early Monday morning in St. Louis, Mo., by Maud Lewis, his missress. He was asleep when shot. The woman had been mentally unbalanced for some time, according to the statements of her neighbors. The first information of the tragedy was the woman's screams. The neighbors ran in and found her in a frenzy of grief bending over the body and calling on "Pete" to "come back." Two shots were fired, one entering the mouth, the other penetrating the brain through the left eye. The woman's raving became violent and she was sent to the city hospital. Morrissey was born in St. Louis in 1859,and in 1885 he was elected to the Municipal Assembly. At the time of his death he was a member of the Missouri State Senate,elected as a Democrat. His business was that of a saloon and lodging house keeper. Maud Lewis was 25 years old and was born and reared in St. Louis and was of good family. She was in the city hospital August and September last year,suffering from hysteria. Tramps tried to take the town of Tracy Saturday,and that night a vigilance committee patrolledthe streets.Tracy is at the junction of the Southern Pacific line and that which passes through Lathrop and has become a rendezvous for tramps from both directions,and an unusual number has gathered there.Saturday afternoon there were sixty tramps at the railroad yard,having been augmented each day during the latter part ofthe week.The tramps got liquor and began robbing workmen as they passed.They beat Justice ofthe Peace Hoy,Hoy had sent several to jail.News ofthe assault quickly spread and sixty armed citizens moved onthe vagrants.The tramps were defiant,but they were soon driven beyondthe boundsofthe town.The leaders ofthe vagrants declared they would burnthe town downbefore morning.Arrangements were made bythe citizens anda numberof men were chosenas an armed patrol duringthe nightIt was agreed that if any vagrant was caught settingfireto a building or committing any other mischiefhe should have summary treatment.Some ofthe tramps left for Stockton before morning.

It is not so much the festivities which are to be connected with this event which form the subject of gossip as the fact that it is freely rumored that her Majesty will abdicate on that day, and after that the Prince of Wales will reign as King Edward VII. It is learned that the Queen expressed her desire to abdicate at a meeting not long ago, at which the Prince of Wales, Lord Rosebery and at least two members of the Cabinet were present. If her Majesty surrenderers the crown on that day she will have reigned fifty-eight years, the longest reign of any monarch of the nineteenth century. A wind storm, beginning at midnight Wednesday, swept over the northern part of the State, doing considerable damage in the fruit sections. At Sacramento the maximum velocity was forty-eight miles an hour. Shade trees and signs were blown down, windows broken, and the contents of show windows blown about the streets. At Courtland, Walnut Creek and Rontiers, cherry trees were badly stripped and one-third the crop lost. Many pears and plums were blown off. Peaches suffered, especially through Placer county, but damage has everywhere been the greatest to cherries. Little damage to grain is reported, except from Colusa, where it is blown down badly. At last week's meeting of the orange exchange it was reported that over 4,000 carloads of oranges have shipped East from Southern California. About 1,300 carloads still remain. Shipments are going forward at the rate of fifty carloads a day, and all the packing-houses and shipping depots of the exchanges are running in the effort to fill orders for fruit from the East. The warm weather of the past few days has hastened the ripening of oranges, and in about a week or so more nearly all the navels will have been shipped. The season for seedling shipments will probably not close for six weeks yet. Prices for navels have been very satisfactory to growers for a long time, but prices for seedlings have been low. Officer Pat Furlong of Woodland Station, Chicago, will file a suit for damages against Inspector Hunt of the same precinct, all on account of his red whiskers. For over thirty years Pat owned as fine a set of red whiskers as ever came down Archer road. Last Monday evening Inspector Hunt met him on his beat and jokingly remarked: "Pat, you'll have to shoot them whiskers if you want to stay on the police force." Next morning Furlong appeared at roll-call clean shaven. The list of officers to be decapitated was read at all the stations that night. Among others was that of Furlong. The old "copper" at first thought it must be a joke, but when he found that it was reality he immediately Five metropolitan policemen are detailed for daily duty at Woodley, where the President and Mrs. Cleveland reside, and their instructions from the superintendent of police are not to leave the President's country seat unguarded for a moment. One of these policemen is a mounted officer and his duty begins at 8 o'clock in the morning and terminates at 4 in the afternoon. After this there are two reliefs, consisting of two officers, who are on duty from 4 o'clock in the afternoon till midnight, and from that hour until 8 o'clock next morning. The detail of policemen is in addition to the officers on duty at the White House, where there are two sergeants and twenty-four private divided in platoons of eight, each doing eight hours. The mounted policeman on duty at Woodley is fully armed and equipped for an encounter with intruders. It is the duty of the officers to patrol the grounds thoroughly at all hours, and at night in particular they are requested to be on their feet constantly. The special service will cease as soon as the President and his household leave for Buzzard's Bay, which will probably occur about June 1. From Washington to their destination in the old Bay State, the Presidential party will be guarded by the agents of the Secret Service and this surveillance will be maintained during their sojourn at Gray Gables. Ralph Modjeska, who lives in Chicago, received a letter from his mother, Mme. Helena Modjeska, giving a vivid account of the difficulties which have attended her efforts to appear in the剧院s of Russia and Poland. In St. Petersburg the Russian officials peremptorily forbade her to act after 2,000 tickets for the opening performance had been sold and an exorbitant license fee paid to the municipal authorities. An appeal to the Governor of the city brought forth the indefinite reply that the engagement had been prohibited by "higher authority" orders." After this unpleasant incident Mme. Modjeska addressed a letter to the Czarina, appealing for just treatment. During February the Madame was forbidden to appear at the National Theatre at Warsaw. Subsequently the manager asked her to make an appeal to the officials of the city. She returned for that purpose in April, but was immediately ordered to leave Warsaw with her attendants within twenty-four hours, which she was obliged to do. Her attempts to appear in other Russian cities were met by similar treatment. She writes that she is undecided about appearing in Berlin, as she does not like the temper of German audiences, and fears she will fare badly with the Berlin critics on account of national prejudices. She is not enjoying the best of health and is looking forward expectantly to her return to America, which she says is the land for her after all.
