Mr. Huntington's visit has inspired us with the confidence that when his road builds up from Long Beach it will be through this city, and continuing northward through Placentia and on to Chino and Pomona. His driving over the proposed route in town and through the Placentia district, as well as the fact that he had been in Pomona some days previously looking for an outlet south through the hill, can, indeed, mean but very little less. The talk of building the branch road from Long Beach to Santa Ana, what with the necessity of spanning the river at the foot of Fifth street with an expensive railway bridge, and the maintenance of river levees for the protection of that structure, as well as for the fact that the Southern Pacific has already a line from this city south to Santa Ana, is to our mind mere idle gossip, with probably no foundation in fact. The natural route for this road is from Long Beach to Anaheim, and thence south over the present road to Santa Ana, reaching this city from the west by a curve swinging midway between the Garden Grove and Westminster sections. Through the Alamitos and the fertile Westminster and Garden Grove districts, the tennage during the present year, counting in the beet crop now springing up over miles upon miles of that section, will aggregate to exceed probably fifty thousand tons—vastly more than that of any section of similar area in the State now operating without a railroad. Swinging through town on the way to Chino, the road will tap five hundred cars of through Eastern freight now handled entirely by the Santa Fe. Here we have the richest valley in the State as yet untapped by railroad facilities, absolutely begging for a road. The signs are that as soon as the Southern Pacific complete their work at Pasadena, and work finishes on the road from Covina to San Dimas, in the San Gabriel valley, the force of railroad builders will be ordered here, and work on this line put actively under way and pushed rapidly toward completion. The different moves upon the railway checkerboard will be watched with acute interest by our citizens, who desire to see the Southern Pacific move its depot up town and a commodious station erected near the business Jackson, Amador county, has been sent by Professor E. H. Hilgard, director of the agricultural department, University of California, to the south to survey and lay out stations at Pomona and Santa Monica. BUENA PARK. We regret to announce the death of Duncan Campbell, a native of Canada, an estimable young man, who came here an invalid four years ago; though the climate did not restore his health it prolonged it all these years. He was in consumption. His body was embalmed and sent to his home in Ottawa, Canada. Governor Whitaker and wife have returned to the Park. Monday morning the whistle at the condensed milk factory announced that work had begun in earnest. The farmers in the vicinity and many from a distance are bringing their milk. We rejoice in the enterprise, and hope that Mr. Yerka will receive the hearty co-operation of all the dairy men. Some very fine coffee was turned out Tuesday. The accommodating station agent is building a new cottage on Grand avenue. Mr. Cherally is in the house lately vacated by Mr. Glenn. A new well is being put down at the Park House. L. C. McKnight is putting in another well. The home of Mr. F. W. Emery on the Coyote Heights will have an addition of ten rooms. Dr. E. D. Johnson has fully recovered from his accident. Mr. Bennet, salesman for Whitaker & Co., is to go to his home in Connecticut. Frank Whitaker returned just in time to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Bennet's departure. The L. M. A S. will meet Friday with Mrs. Young. HIGHER PRICES FOR FRUIT. SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-Higher prices for fruit are expected this year. The frosts in the great lake region destroying the fruit crop in that part of the country will increase the demand from here, and the product from this State will not be as great as was expected. In consequence of the blighting influence of the cold weather in March, according to information given out at the State Board of Horticulture, the yield will not be above the average, and some varieties of fruit will fall below the average. All of California north of Tehachepi suffered from the March frosts, particularly in the Napa, Vacaville and Suisun districts. The first report was that great damage had been done, then it was said it would be slight. But the secondary effects, arising from the chilling of the sap in the trees, caused the greatest damage, and now apricots, prunes, Bartlett pears and some cherries are dropping. Apricots are in the worst condition. In the Sacramento Valley, where they were the least affected, there will be half a crop, and in other sections one-third of a crop. In some places apricots are a total loss. REAL ESTATE SALES. For the Week Ending May 23, 1895 Stearns Ro. Co. to Antoine Larrecoq—of SE₂ of Sec. 9, T 4, R 11, 80 acres; $10 Same to J. W.

Mr. Conrad has so far been the only one to respond, and his contribution to the festivities of the day would no doubt be a pleasing feature of the occasion. Anaheim has been noted for the splendor of its celebrations in the past—for the magnificence of its barbecues—the extent and loftiness of its patriotism—and we ought to get together and devise ways and means for the proper celebration this year of the nation's birthday. It is not too early to begin. Let the citizens generally come together and start out subscription lists, and settle the important financial feature of the celebration at the outset. Let us have Washington Crossing the Delaware, the Ship of State, Columbia the Gem of the Ocean, sweet little girls in white representing the various commonwealths, a bicycle parade and trade's display, the military and bands of music, and all the pomp and circumstance that we can well crowd into this glorious and patriotic holiday. We have need for the infusion of a little patriotism into the people at this time—look at Corinto, Hawaii, the firing on the Alliance. Let us drink deep of the cup of inspiring patriotism as we view the extensive fortifications at Esquimalt, to the north of us, the extensive building of war ships by Juan Toro, and his evident intention to take a hand in the Nicaragua canal. Let us view these things, not with alarm, but like a patriotic people, and looking upon them let us renew our acquaintance with Valley Forge and Lexington and the Battle of Bunker Hill! Let us turn out and welcome the Glorious Fourth of July! And let us not forget the barbecue—Dr. Paschall can attend to that. The Union forever, and like the citizens of Pine Holler, let us get out and meet the Fourth of July! All of California north of Tehachepi suffered from the March frosts, particularly in the Napa, Vacaville and Suisun districts. The first report was that great damage had been done, then it was said it would be alight. But the secondary effects, arising from the chilling of the sap in the trees, caused the greatest damage, and now apricots, prunes, Bartlett pears and some cherries are dropping. Apricots are in the worst condition. In the Sacramento Valley, where they were the least affected, there will be half a crop, and in other sections one-third of a crop. In some places the apricots are a total loss. Cherries have dropped some from the trees in Alameda, Napa, Sonoma and Santa Clara counties. There will be, however, a fair crop of this fruit. Bartlett pears are dropping badly, especially north of San Francisco. Probably there will be a two-third crop in the entire State. Prunes are also dropping in Sonoma and Napa counties, and to some extent in Santa Clara, but, taking the new bearing orchards into account, the crop will still be large, unless the dropping process should grow worse from this time on. Peaches are in a profusion all over the State, and the crop will be enormous. Grapes were not much injured either by the March frosts or the hot winds of last week. There will be a good crop at Fresno, and the wine varieties are in good condition. SADIE'S GARTERS. NEW YORK, May 20. — Sadie Martinot, the actress, at present performing in "The Passport" at the Bijou Theater, was before Judge McCarthy in the City Court chambers to-day upon supplementary proceedings. A Boston dressmaker has judgment against her for 180 $ Miss Martinot testified that there were no profits occurring from the play. When asked if she owned any jewelry, she blushed and Abe Hummel langhed outright. "I do own a little," she said, "but they are all the jewels I have." What is the nature of those jewels," insisted the judge. "Well," said Miss Martinot, sighing reignedly, "if I must tell, I must. They are my garter clasps." "Now you make me blush," said Lawyer Carman. "But tell me," he resumed sternly, "where are the claspa now? "Why," faltered the actress, "they are on my garter." "And the garters," roared the lawyer, "where are they? "Why I've got them on, of course." "Yes, and not even the high sherriff can seize them," put in Hummel. "But I warn you, Mr. Carman, you are treading on dangerous ground." "The buckles are only worth about $175," said Miss Martinot. "But you regard them as necessary to your business? Are they absolutely essential!" asked the lawyer. "Why, of course they are," said Miss Martinot in surprised tone. Lawyer Carman made application for a receiver to take charge of Miss Martinot's diamond garter-clasps and her gowns, but Judge McCarthy said that he would think it over before coming to a decision. A Parsimonious Board From the Santa Ana Standard. Our Board of Supervisors are getting to be first-class economists. They have decided not to advertise for sealed bids for printing the tax list, but simply notify the printers by letter. They are also getting to be first-class jurists. They have decided that the county don't have to buy dockets for justices of the peace, but that it is a private investment for the justice of the peace. Such being the case, the justice owns his docket as private property and though the law says he shall turn over his docket to his successor in office there is another provision that private property shall not be taken without the cold weather in March, according to information given out at the State Board of Horticulture, the yield will not be above the average, and some varieties of fruit will fall below the average.

WASHINGTON PORTER of the fruit shipping firm of Porter Brothers in Chicago, who has been in California for some weeks looking up the crop prospects, has been a close observer of the effects of the frosts in the north and he gives us a fair indication of the extent of the loss. Speaking of this year's fruit crop he says that of cherries there will be about half the usual product. The apricots in the valleys have been killed largely, and the crop will be light, while that of Bartlett pears will be only about one-third of a crop the State over. Plums will be of fair quantity. Prunes are rather light. Peaches are the only thing of which there will be a full crop. Grapes will probably be a full crop if they are not burned before the leaves get out. But still the fruit-growers will come out better this year than in an ordinary season. Last year, with the strike and heavy crops and low prices, they were working for nothing and many for worse than nothing. This year they will get high prices. The heavy frosts East along Lake Erie will help California a great deal. The California growers will make a great deal better profit and come out better on the season than usual. The railroad has arranged to put on fast trains to put the fruit through to Chicago in 120 hours. This will be done as soon as there is enough fruit moving to make up trains of ten cars or more and will be of great advantage in getting the fruit to market in good condition. The assessed valuation of the property of San Bernardino county will fall about $1,000,000 short of what it was last year. This is due to the operation of the new law exempting fruit and nut-bearing trees under 5 years of age and vines under 3 years from taxation. George Hansen, manager of the Sierra Foothill agricultural experiment station at A Parsimonious Board From the Santa Ana Standard. Our Board of Supervisors are getting to be first-class economists. They have decided not to advertise for sealed bids for printing the tax list, but simply notify the printers by letter. They are also getting to be first-class jurists. They have decided that the county don't have to buy dockets for justices of the peace, but that it is a private investment for the justice of the peace. Such being the case, the justice owns his docket as private property and though the law says he shall turn over his docket to his successor in office there is another provision that private property shall not be taken without just compensation. We are inclined to endorse the latter proposition as the highest authority, so when our J.P.'s go out of office they fix a large retail price on their docket for their successors to pay. Wants to Hear the Rumble From the Santa Ana Standard. See the article from the ANAHEIM GAZETTE on the railroad question. It says put your ear to the ground and hear the rumble of the trains and locomotives as they run over to Pomona. Anaheim a great railroad center. We don't doubt it. When all the roads run around it then's when it will be in the center. Pitch in, Bro. GAZETTE, and get the new road if you can. Some of us people down here have a hankering for it and will wait for the "rumble" just the same. Sho'! From the Orange Post. Santa Ana and Anaheim are the great prospective railroad centers of Southern California these days. If you want to see Santa Ana get a move on just let Anaheim clip in. We will now see who has got the push and pull. If the case of Miss "Birdie" Sutherland, the London chorus girl, against the Hon. Dudley Churchill Majoribanks, oldest son of Baron Tweedmouth, for breach of promise, ever comes into court, it will be the most sensational trial since Miss Fortescue, this actress, won £10,000 from Lord Garmoyle, on a similar charge. Miss Sutherland is very handsome. She is nearly six feet tall and only 18 years old. Her real name is Annie Louise Watkins. She first met the Hon. Dudley Majoribanks at the Prince of Wales Club. It was a case of love at first sight. He proposed and was accepted. When his parents learned of the affair they were very much disturbed. Maj. Majoribanks went to Canada with his mother and the Earl of Aberdee, Governor-General of Canada. The young man did not return with his mother to England, but remained in Canada, and the match was broken off. Miss Sutherland then placed the case in the hands of a well-knowntheatrical lawyer, who retained in her behalf Sir Edward Clarke, who defended Oscar Wilde in his recent trial C.F.Gill, who appeared against Wilde on behalf of the treasury, and various other legal talent has also been retained. FULL OF "SOONERS." Oklaahoma City, May 21.-The Kickapoo country which will be opened to settlement Thursday noon is fall of sooners, and more are going in every day. These men are now very bold in their declarations and there can be no doubt that the most shameless acts of sooner will be practiced on all sides. The news of the President's proclamation has not penetrated much beyond the towns along the railroads. In the inland towns and on the farms are many people who have been waiting four years for the opening of the Kickapoo land and these will hardly receive the news in time to get ready and get to the country by Thursday. The people of Chandler and Tecumseh who several times during the past two months were fooled by couriers riding into town with the announcement that the Kickapoo country was open to settlement and who rushed pell moll into the reservation and staked off claims, have discovered that under a strict construction of the sooner act of 1889 every man who went on these false alarms is a sooner and barred from taking land. They have found that an organization of the old Kickapoo boomers who have been camped on the line for years have all the names, date of runs and location of the claims each one staked, to be used in proving them sooners, and the false alarms were a scheme of the old-timers to shut off such composition in the real opening. There is much bad feeling and there may be trouble between the two factions on Thursday. As yet, however, nothing real has happened to mar the universal feeling of happiness that prevails along the border lines of the new El Dorado, and great expectations are harbored by many of the old timers who know the lay of the land perfectly and each of whom long ago pictured out some particularly fine claim that he hopes to secure. Charles Fiester, a teamster for the Grant's Pass sugar pine milling company, at a point four miles south of Merlin, Or., at 2 o'clock on Sunday threw his wife into a pool of water and held her head under until she was drowned. Three of his small children stood near and witnessed the act. Fie ter sent them to Merlin, four miles north, notify his son, a young man 25 years of age.

He says he is glad that he drowned his wife, and is prepared to pay the penalty of the law. The difficulty grew out of family troubles of long standing. The pair had been separated for a long time and Fiester prevailed on his wife to go to Marlin, where he was logging, and keep house for him. The woman consented to go for a week, and they started with the three children. After going about five miles a quarrel arose over her receiving letters from some man, and the woman started back, but was caught by her husband and dragged to a pool of water near the track and held under until dead. INCOME TAX ILLEGAL. WASHINGTON, May 20.-The income tax law, which has received so large a share of the public attention since the beginning of the regular session of the Fifty-third Congress, is a thing of the past. After being twice heard in the United States Supreme Court, it was finally decided to-day by the court to be invalid and unconstitutional. There were four dissenting opinions delivered in these cases to-day, one each by Justice Harlan, Brown, Jackson and White, showing that the court had stood 5 to 4 against the law. Inasmuch as one of these dissenting opinions was handed down by Justice Jackson, and as he was absent at the first hearing when the court divided evenly on the question of sustaining the law on all points except those as to the tax on incomes from rents and bonds, it follows that one of the members of the court who at first was pronounced for the law, except on those two points, changed his attitude after the second argument. There is very little question that Justice Shira is the Justice who changed his views on these points. He made no announcement either to-day or when the first opinion was delivered, as to his opinion. While the opinion of the Chief Justice was largely a review of the general aspects of the questions involved, he based the opinion of the court to-day on the argument that the provisions of the law regarding the tax on rents and bonds were so essentially a factor it as to render all other parts of it dependent on them, and in accordance with the well-known rule of law bearing on this question, the law as a whole must be declared invalid. The opinions of Justice Harland and White were concluded in language so vigorous, and were so emphatic in their arraignment of the majority, as to cause very general comment. Both Justices indicated their belief that the ruling opinion was revolutionary and intimated that serious consequences might ensue. Justice Harland suggested the necessity for amending the Constitution in view of the opinion. The courtroom was packed during the entire three hours when the opinions were being delivered. The unexpected event of today was in the appearance of Justice Jackson. He had announced, after casting his vote last Saturday week, that he would return on the following Monday to Tennessee, but it appears that instead he went to Philadelphia to consult a specialist on internal diseases. He left the bench immediately were in perfect harmony. Cleveland and Gresham knew every move that Kimberly intended to make, and they were satisfied that there was no scheme to gain permanent control of any portion of the Nicaraguan territory. "In fact, before we went to Corinto it was generally understood that there would be no interference on the part of the United States. I am so sure of what I am saying that I will tell you that the United States government was kept posted on all intended movements as well as all that was actually accomplished. The mate who kept the state department posted was Admiral Stevenson himself, and I suppose he had his orders to do this. I saw the dispatches announcing our intention of occupying Corinto, and the Wild Swan carried them to San Juan del Sur. One dispatch was sent to London and another to New York instead of to Pauncefote in Washington. I tell you the American government was thoroughly in accord with her majesty's government in the whole matter. For this reason we paid no attention to the Nicaraguans when they said the American fleet was on the way down the coast. "Later we heard of the Monterey coming, but were assured that she was going on down to Callao. After we took Corinto two more dispatches were sent again to London and New York. "When the Wild Swan and Royal Arthur separated on May 7th Captain Trench of the flagship was alive and well. The news that he died three days later of gastritis and was buried at sea the same day, told us upon our arrival here, was the first information we had of his death." POWDER EXPLOSION. SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-A terrific report and concussion which was distinctly felt all through the city and at the towns around the bay for a distance of forty miles was at first believed to be caused by earthquake, but proved to be an explosion in the nitro-glycerine and mixing houses, storehouse and gun-cotton departments of the California Powder Works at Pinole across the bay this morning. The crew of the glycerine house, four in number and the fireman of the mixing house, were all killed, as were also nine Chinese working in the latter department. The explosion occurred in the nitro-glycerine house at 10:40 o'clock and was probably caused by a Chinese dropping a can of the explosive. The cause cannot be definitely ascertained, however, as all connected with the building are dead. There were 200 Chinese in the adjacent mixing-room, and at the sound of the explosion all ran and the majority escaped. The force of the explosion was tremendous. Huge trees were thrown into the bay, a distance of half a mile, and nitro-glycerine tanks weighing a ton each are now lying five hundred yards distant from the scene. Toes, hands, legs and other parts of the mutilated remains of the dead are scattered along the road for a mile. The nitro glycerine house first went up, then the mixing-house and storehouse and gun-cotton departments followed. The nitro-glycerine house, of which not a vestige now remains, was a three-story frame structure. CITIZENS' BAY OF ANAHEIM.

Both Justices indicated their belief that the ruling opinion was revolutionary and intimated that serious consequences might ensue. Justice Harland suggested the necessity for amending the Constitution in view of the opinion. The courtroom was packed during the entire three hours when the opinions were being delivered. The unexpected event of day was in the appearance of Justice Jackson. He had announced, after casting his vote last Saturday week, that he would return on the following Monday to Tennessee, but it appears that instead he went to Philadelphia to consult a specialist on internal diseases. He left the bench immediately after delivering his opinion to-day and it is understood that he will now proceed south. He delivered his opinion from notes. TICKS FROM THE TELEGRAPH The steamer Gascogne is three days over due again, but no alarm is felt for her safety. She is thought to be detained by ice berge. Governor Budd has received word from the Preston school of industry at Ione that an epidemic of scarlet fever, pneumonia and typhoid fever has broken out at that institution. There are no accommodations there for taking care of patients in such a condition, and the Governor has instructed Assistant Adjunct General Murray to send a number of military tents to the school. They will be put on the grounds at the school and the sick children will be moved into them. After the most exciting election ever held in Paso Robles the question of disincorporating the city was defeated on Saturday by a majority of 140 to 113. For months the friends of disincorporation were at work securing support for disorganization. When it was thought enough votes had been won over to carry the day, a special election was demanded by the required number of voters and ordered by the council. Then ensued a bitterly contested campaign, which ended in the defeat of the disincorporationists. A general celebration was held. Banda paraded the streets, bonfires blazed up and the victors celebrated their conquest at the polls. The San Jose police are searching for Salvator Bruno who is wanted for making an assault to murder Gabrielle Morovanni. Saturday he asked the girl to marry him. She told him she was engaged to another, and her mother corroborated her statement. He demanded $7 which was due him, but the money was not forthcoming. This enraged him and he tried to shoot the girl's mother, Gabrielle was too quick for him and grabbed the weapon. He then forced it against her breast and was about to shoot, when the weapon was knocked out of his hand by the girl's big brother, and Bruno was kicked out of the house. Instead of going away he hid in some grass, and when the old lady came out of the house, struck with a dagger. An attachment suit filed in San Jose by Mrs. Alcis St. Clair against her husband, H.F. St. Clair, reopens a romance of early days in that city. Some years ago Jonathan Lupton, the owner of a fine ranch in the Willows, died, and his widow and several minor children inherited the property. Some time afterward H.F. St. Clair appeared on the scene. He secured work on the widow's ranch and then set industriously at work to win her hand. Soon she became Mrs. St. Clair. Married life progressed smoothly, and the trusting wife deeded her share of the estate to her husband. Then came the storm. No sooner had the property come into his possession than he sold a portion of it for $1,600, and with this sum in his pocket left San Jose for a tour of the State. A woman accompanied him. St. Clair returned to San Jose last Friday and drew from the bank another sum placed to his credit by the confiding woman and again left for San Francisco. Then came the expose, and following it the attachment suit, wherein the deluded woman hopes to secure possession of the little property that remains. Now creditors of the rockless husband are taking a hand in the one or more cases caused by a Chinese dropping a can of explosive. The cause cannot be definitely ascertained, however, as all connected with the building are dead. There were 200 Chinese in the adjacent mixing-room, and at the sound of the explosion all ran and the majority escaped. The force of the explosion was tremendous. Huge trees were thrown into the bay, a distance of half a mile, and nitro-glycerine tanks weighing a ton each are now lying five hundred yards distant from the scene. Toes, hands, legs and other parts of the mutilated remains of the dead are scattered along the road for a mile. The nitro glycerine house first went up, then the mixing-house and storehouse and gun-cotton departments followed. The nitro-glycerine house, of which not a vestige now remains, was a three-story frame structure, 20x50 feet. It contained 8,000 pounds of nitro-glycerine and 2,000 pounds of Hercules powder. A remarkable feature of the explosion is the fact that, although the storehouse containing 1,000 pounds of Hercules powder, is completely wrecked, its contents are intact. In all 10,000 pounds of explosives went up with a roar and a sheet of flames. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas of Junction City, Ill., was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr.King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida at., San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr.King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colda. Free trail bottles at W.M.Higgins' dragstore.

Sam Echols, Sim Crawley and John Brooks, the negroes who outraged and murdered Miss Mamie Armstrong in Lafayette county, Fla., were flayed and burned. A man from Lafayette county says the belief is general that the negroes were tortured to death. One man ventured into the camp into which they were carried and asserts that he found the place where they were put to death. It was evident that the negroes were tied to trees and their skin stripped from them with knives. Then wood was heaped about the bleeding forms, the match applied and the wretches were soon dead. This man found some strips of skin about the place, which bears out the belief that they were flayed and burned. Everything is quiet and there is no fear of trouble between the races. The better class of negroes denounce the cut-rate and murder of Miss Armstrong as bitterly as the whites. Twelve negroes have now been lynched in six months, and it would seem that the horrible fate of the last three should prevent further attacks upon white women. The whites have formed a band and are determined to protect their wives and daughters. DID UNCLE SAM KNOW IT ALL? SAN DIEGO, May 21.—The British gunboat Wild Swan, which, with the Royal Arthur and Statellite, occupied Corinto to enforce England's demands against Nicara-gua, arrived in port to-day, having sailed from Corinto on May 5th and Acapalco May 9th. She will remain until Saturday, take on coal and proceed to Esquimalt, B.C., from which port she is expected to be ordered to Bering sea. Captain MacVey Napier was not to be seen, but the other officers were free to talk of the affair at Corinto, and said that the Americans there enjoyed the experience with the British as a huge joke. One of the officers who did not care to have his name mentioned, said: "The report that Admiral Stevenson told a friend while at Corinto that the British government did not care for the indemnity, but that the occupation was mainly for the purpose of testing the Monroe doctrine and forever setting that question at rest, was all nonsense.
