Iresires to call the special circulated by our commission inferior grade, on accidents, Boots and Shoes, have invoice sales and prices on other goods at San Francisco prices A REPLY TO A REPLY OF MR. E. R. AMERIGE. MR. EDITOR.—The Fullerton Tribune contained in its last issue a reply signed, "E. R. Amerige," which severely comments on my veracity, etc., so I have to leave my mole-hole and ask you for space in your valuable Gazette to clear, brighten and shine up matters. The signer of that reply says that I used his name in my last article. I say I never did. Let your readers judge who tells the truth, and who, as he vulgarly calls it, lies. The Mr. Ex. don't like my nom de plume. Who cares what he likes and does not like? I like it. A mere difference of opinion, and nothing wrong about it. "Stockholder" did scribble for the benefit and information of the stockholders and not for individual vanity or to appear smart. For the Mr. Ex. of course a nom de plume would not do. His object is plain. He only writes for his personal glorification, with the sole object of securing votes to be elected a Director next Saturday. But this strikes me like hitching the mule on the wrong end. What benefit would the election of the Ex. be (which of course will not do it), and now the company seems likely to be closed out again. The property is in the hands of the new receiver still, but there is likely to be another change. In that event the English investors will lose all their stock as well as the Americans. The English stockholders see their mistake now and regret that they did not unite with us on this side in saving the property as we proposed. I was talking recently with a representative of Mr. Allan of the Allan Steamship Company. I said to him that Mr. Allan, one of the biggest stockholders in the Bear Valley company, should have united with the American in saving the property, and he replied "Yes, that is so. Mr. Allan sees his mistake now." "Will the New Haven stockholders lose everything?" Mr. Graham was asked. "I believe they will lose practically everything." "Did they not earn a big dividend for several years?" "Yes. But some who bought originally at 25 purchased more stock at 105, the preferred." Some of the large investors in the stock are James Graham, Dr. Paul C. Skiff, F. S. Bradley, Charles Wixom, Dr. H. A. Stevens, Wilbur F. Day and E. S. Kimberly. At one time the stock paid 15 per cent. This proved an incentive to enlarge the plant and issue more stock. The amount of this stock held in New Haven is estimated at fully $2,000,000. It is said that there is $500,000 worth of the stock held in one family and that one man has $100,000 of it. A RUMOR OF WAR. IF SPAIN SEeks To Sell Cuba To ENGLAND THE UNITED STATES WILL DECLARE WAR AGAINST JOHNNY BULL. JACKSONVILLE (Fla.), Jan. 19.-If the report which reaches here from Tallahassee, the State capital, be true, the United States government is acting in a manner which indicates that war with some foreign nation is not considered improbable. This report is to the effect that the War Department in Butchers and Lard Live Stock! revisions! Goods! tition. EALE, Proprietor. MAN'S. CER) New Goods! Shoes! Now sales is, it is a dirty bird that defiles its own nest. You further say, if you had only known that your presence would have deterred those "weaked-minded Directors" (your colleagues) from departing from their path of duty and virtue, you would have deferred your visit to Yankee-dom! What an insult and offrontery! I who tells the truth, and who, as he valgarly calls it, lies. The Mr. Ex. don't like my nom de plume. Who cares what he likes and does not like? I like it. A mere difference of opinion, and nothing wrong about it. "Stockholder" did scribble for the benefit and information of the stockholders and not for individual vanity or to appear smart. For the Mr. Ex. of course a nom de plume would not do. His object is plain. He only writes for his personal glorification, with the sole object of securing votes to be elected a Director next Saturday. But this strikes me like hitching the mule on the wrong end. What benefit would the election of the Ex. be (which of course will not be) to the stockholders, after his abuse of his colleagues, as a majority of them will be re-elected? His influence would be simply nil, as it was in the past, even vastly more so. Mr. Ex. your reply shows that my article made you mad, even if you say it was too ludicrous to notice. You failed to remember the saying, whom the Gods destroy they first make mad. Well, when a person is mad and rushes headlong into print, he generally writes himself an ass. It is for the readers to judge if you or I did so. The reply said I did not offine myself to the truth, and that I stated a plain unvarnished lie. This is b.i language, Mr. Ex. Well, I'm not George Washington, and have a very large following all over the world in that line of defense. But Mr. Ex. is a real estate agent, speculator in land and town lots, and of course is therefore a true follower in the path of truth set by the father of our country. But, reader, just let us see what called forth the wrath of Mr. Ex. to such an extent as to use bad language. I, poor simpson, forgot that he even wrote an article protesting against the Placenta ditch from Yankees dom in last October. Terrible, isn't it! Therefore he tells me I lie, I don't tell the truth, etc. This shows that he went carefully over my article in order to find a weak spot to assail me with strong language. The natural consequence is therefore that my other assertions must be good and true, otherwise he would have assailed them; so let us see what I said further: First, that you pursue the cause of abuse against your colleague of the board to secure votes in order to be elected again. You did not deny this, so this will stand as good and true. Second, that the statement published that Mr. Botsford, with the connivance of the Secretary, would or could vote stock fraudulently, only reflects upon the intelligence of the originator of this malicious absurdity. You did not deny this, so this will stand as good and true. Third, aimmering it all down, that all the abuse and charges of mismanagement has helped upon the Board of Directors, amounts to, is that those on the outside try in every way to get on the inside, and are working the credibility of the stockholders for all that is possible. You did not deny this, so this must stand for good and true. Now let us further see what you say in your reply that I, a stockholder, think that stockholders have no right to complain. How do you, Mr. Ex., know what I think? But I say here that stockholders, any and all, have such right at any and all times. The point is only, is the complaint good, timely and judicious? Youra, Mr. Ex., certainly lacks any and all of these points. I can better afford to go down in my jeans and pangle up even a $5 assessment than to see the country injured and the financial integrity and the ability of the Anahieton Union Water Company assaulted and injured by your vicious personal assault called forth only for your own glorification. An old saying is, it is a dirty bird that defiles its own nest. You further say, if you had only known that your presence would have deterred those "weaked-minded Directors" (your colleagues) from departing from their path of duty and virtue, you would have deferred your visit to Yankee-dom!

The point is only, is the complaint good, true, timely and judicious? Youre, Mr. Ex., certainly lacks any and all of these points. I can better afford to go down in my jeans and pungle up even a $5 assessment than to see the country injured and the financial integrity and the ability of the Anasheim Union Water Company assailed and injured by your vicious personal assault called forth only for your own glorification. An old saying is, it is a dirty bird that defiles its own nest. You further say, if you had only known that your presence would have deterred those "weaked-minded Directors" (your colleagues) from departing from their path of duty and virtue, you would have deferred your visit to Yankee-dom! What an insult and offentry! I have never seen the equal expressed in public print by one colleague toward another. But, Mr. Ex., your going to Boston was all right. But your coming back, that's where the trouble is, was all wrong. Your coming from Yankeedom or any other place is no reflection. Nobody can select his birth place, and my reference thereto is not intended as such, and therefore please do not construe it that way. The Ex. charges his colleagues with having the company's ditches cemented in order to beautify their places. Since when is a cement ditch a thing of beauty? People generally, when they have a good thing, see that they get a second and a third, but I have yet to hear of anybody desiring or asking for a second ditch alongside his property, no matter how much, as Ex. says, a cement ditch beautifies it. But this is all silly nonsense. Only one point more about Placentia ditch which has called forth so much abuse against the directorate. Two of the Directors own and occupy realy on that ditch. Those two Directors are the oldest permanent residents we have on the board. By industry and hard work, they have established beautiful homes. They have been connected with the management of our ditch system, since its creation. Is it fair and just, to put the most uncharitable construction upon the acts of these men? When the agitation against the will of the Directors for wanting that Placentia ditch cemented, I myself looked upon it as injudicious, but later on, when the work of cleaning and filling, preparatory to cementing, permitted me to view the so-called old ditch, I had to change my mind, and I was glad that the Directors had the grit and good sense to follow their own ripe judgment. For two miles the ditch was really no ditch at all, but a line of holes or oi-terna, formed by the eddies occasioned by the swift current and high fall the water has in the ditch. I wondered how any mother could live and raise children in its vicinity without being worn out by the daily anxiety for their safety. Across the road is the public school, and that ditch was a constant menace to the life of the children. About benefiting the company, anybody can figure out how much water it takes to fill up a hole two miles long, ten to twelve feet wide and ten to fifteen feet deep. Stockholders, what we must have is men who are practically acquainted with our ditches, men who are able to judge for themselves and have the grit and sense to follow BEAR VALLEY FIASCO. NEW HAVEN INVESTORS HAVE AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE—LOSE THEIR MONEY. While we have little sympathy for capitalists who lose their money investing in stocks that yield dividends before the company paying them has enough legitimate income to pay operating expenses—the expenses and dividends being met by the sale of additional stock and bonds—the effect of such operations upon the interests with which they are connected is, to say the least, unfortunate. The Bear Valley fiasco is a notable illustration of this kind and will deter the investment of needed capital in many meritorious and legitimately managed irrigation enterprises. Many of the American capitalists who invested and lost in that grossly-mismanaged enterprise were residents of New Haven, Ct., and the New Haven Register of a recent date comments upon it as follows: "The experience of the New Haven investors in the Bear Valley Irrigation Company has proved a bitter one. This company, which was started by a New Haven engineer, and at the outset had such bright prospects, became involved in debt through the mismanagement of some of those in charge, and the entanglement was so great that it was necessary to place it in the hands of a receiver. The company expected to obtain sufficient money from a big financial concern in Chicago, but the financial troubles of 1893 coming on, the prospect for immediate relief vanished and affairs went from bad to worse, and finally a receiver was appointed. Then the English stockholders refused to share with the Americans in the plan to reorganize, so strongly advocated by leading New Haven investors, and the plan for successful reorganization so as to save the old stockholders, failed. "The amount held here in New Haven can only be approximately estimated, but it is believed it will be at least $300,000. There is not much prospect that the stockholders will realize much of anything on their old stock." Hon. James Graham, one of the largest stockholders in New Haven, said this morning that if the English stockholders had united with the American interest in organizing the company, the result would have been different and both interests would have been protected. The English interest took the matter into their own hands, shutting out the stockholders on this side. When the property was transferred the new management expected those holding claims of about $3,000,000 would take their pay in new stock, but they WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—It is reported here to-night that action on the part of this government in according belligerent rights to the Cuban insurgents is about to be taken. President Cleveland and Secretary Olney are said to be ready to do so. In fact, this proclamation has already been drawn and drafted, so the report has it. While the proclamation will not recognize the Cuban republic in the sense of expressing sympathy for the struggling patriots, or extend them congratulations, it will formally announce the neutrality of this government between both contending parties. This proclamation rumor has it, may be issued to merrrow. If not, it will not be delayed many days longer. This is said to be the primary form which matters of this kind take in according belligerent rights to a people, and will mean that the Cubans are granted the moral support of this country; to the same extent as has been accorded the Spanishs. The President is said to have this authority. While a number of resolutions have been introduced in Congress by Senators and Representatives to recognize the Cubans as belligerents, this is an authority which one only be exercised by the President, and for which he is said to have ample precedent. Secretary Carlisle has sent to the Court of Claims, for the purpose of testing the constitutionality of the sugar bounty, the Oxnard claim, which was held up by Comptroller Bowler on the ground that the law authorizing the payment of bounties was unconstitutional. Carlisle's letter reads: "In accordance with the certificate of the Auditor of the Treasury Department, made on his own behalf and at the request of the Comptroller of the Treasury, and also on my own behalf as Secretary of the Treasury, I have the honor to transmit the claim of the Oxnard Best Sugar Company for $11,782 50,'for bounty upon sugar manufactured and produced prior to August 28, 1894,'payment whereof is demanded from the appropriation of $238,289 08,made in the sundry cityll appriation set of March 2, 1895.Said claim,together with all the vonohers,papers,documents and proofs pertaining thereto,iis bere-with transmitted tothe Court of Claims under section 1063 ofthe Revised Statutes,fors a trial and adjudication.in order that a judgment may be entered underthe provisions of section 1064." The claim involves controverted questions of law and of constitutional construction.

A carload of redwood to be used in making lead pencils was shipped the other day from Sanger, Calif., for Nuremberg, Germany. Some time ago experts from Germany investigated the resources of the Pacific Coast in an effort to find a substitute for cedar, the forests of Europe, from which the supply of that wood for lead pencils has hitherto been obtained, having become exhausted. E. L. Bishop of Chicago has written to ex-Mayor Henry T. Hazard of Los Angeles that J. M. Hirsh wishes to build and operate a beet-sugar factory in Southern California, if he can secure satisfactory terms. Mr. Hirsh is a German and owns a big beet-sugar plant in Nebraska, and has considerable credit among capitalists in Germany. He wants to build another factory and looks towards Southern California as the best place. What's the matter with his coming to Anaheim? Potatoes were a glint on the San Francisco market on Saturday and were being sold at the wharves at 2 cents a sack. The Harbor Commissioners refused to grant rebates to commission men for wharfage and, as there was no demand for potatoes, it was not profitable to pay wharfage charges and take them away. The Harbor Commissioners therefore have a large stock of vegetables on their hands and are trying to induce people to take them away by selling them for almost nothing. The marriage of John Campbell, one of the wealthiest cattlemen of Oklahoma Territory, to Miss Mabel Hageman of Michigan City, Ind., occurred at Wichita, Kan., one day last week, and that night the event was celebrated by a big dance at Campbell's ranch in Oklahoma. Four weeks ago he advertised in a Chicago paper for a wife, and was flooded with answers, each of which contained a picture of the aspirant. Hageman's beauty attracted him and he sent for her. They were mutually pleased and were married on the short-order plan. Ole Olsen decamped from Antelope county, Nebraska, with the wife of Adam Nordhoff band was close behind. She is travelling as companion or nurse to an old French lady. Col. B. W. Wrenn located the party at Tampa Bay. They stopped at the hotel for some days, arriving Dec. 11, and registered as Mme. Jurrat and party. They are now absent. Their rooms are held for them, and they are expected back soon. The three men have been assigned to a cosy suite of rooms in one of the taverns, and have left instructions in the office that they are not in. "Here's one that will kill you," exclaimed a comedian at a Chicago variety theatre recently; and then he related a funny story. He appeared on the stage wearing "canal-boat" shoes and a white coat with balloon sleeves. As soon as the funny man began to relate his story, Nicholas Kinghardt of South Bend, Ind., laughed loudly, and as the story progressed his mirth increased and he laughed boisterously. Finally he threw himself back in his chair exhausted, and blood streamed from his mouth. He had ruptured his heart by his unstrained merriment and the hemorrhage soon caused his death. The California irrigation cases will probably be heard in the Supreme Court at Washington the middle of this week. They are now well up on the calendar and should be reached not later than Thursday. If some of the cases preceding them are submitted on brief arguments may be heard even earlier. Judge Bond of Lakeport, who will appear in behalf of Tregea in the Modesto case, and C. C. Wright, author of the irrigation act, the constitutionality of which is in question, are both in Washington and appear in the Supreme Court daily in hopes that the cases in which they are interested may be called unexpectedly. There is still some talk of ex-President Harrison and Rufus A. Choate also appearing, but they have not yet appeared in Washington. The fortifications at San Francisco have been strengthened in the past week through the acceptance by the government of three of the most powerful pneumatic guns yet tested, each of which throw 500 pounds of high explosive upward of 5,000 yards with precision and terrific effect upon the water wherever they strack.

Ole Olsen decamped from Antelope county, Nebraska, with the wife of Adam Nordhoff, a farmer, on whose ranch he had been employed, some three months ago. Olsen and the run away wife came to Los Angeles, and there they were discovered by the husband. Olsen was clever and won his employer's confidence. He also won his wife. Before she cloped she persuaded her husband to deed all of his property to her. When Nordhoff located the pair in Los Angeles he came out and compelled the wife to deed back the property, and was then content to let her go her way. He immediately returned to the East. General Harrison manages to spend a portion of each day while in New York in the company of his reported financier, Mrs. Dimmick.

After the performance they were recognized, but skillfully avoided congratulations and some embarrassment by escaping through the manager's room to the street. The feeling in social circles in which the Harrison move is that the wedding of ex-President and Mrs. Dimmick will take place at no distant day. It is believed that all the family are now reconciled. When Secretary Tibbetts was questioned about the matter he answered, "General Harrison never does anything in a cloudlike way," which was interpreted to mean that a formal announcement will be made of the marriage. Ferdinand Heim and George M. Heim of Los Angeles have brought suit through their attorney, in the probate court of Kansas City, Mo., against the estate of the late Ferdinand Heim, the millionaire brewer, who was the head of the Heim Brewing company, and who is well known here. The plaintiffs are the sons of Michael Heim, brother of the late Ferdinand Heim. They assert that their father and Ferdinand Heim were equal partners in a business which resulted in the large estate which Ferd Heim left at his death. They say that Ferdinand Heim continued to conduct the business without a division of interest after their father's death, and they ask for a half interest in all of Ferdinand Heim's estate. Ferdinand Heim died at his home in East St. Louis last September, leaving an estate valued at $1,000,000. His direct heirs are his sons, Joseph J. Heim, Michael G. Heim and Ferdinand Heim. It was stated at the time of Heim's death that he and his brother Michael had been partners in business up to the time of Michael Heim's death, several years ago. His three sons were made the beneficiaries of his will. The estate includes property in St. Louis and East St. Louis, a large brewery in the east bottoms and other property in California.

The three guns propelled shells three miles and hit so near the marks aimed at that battle ship would have been easily blown to pieces had she been the target. These three guns are similar to those which are now mounted at Sandy Hook, but the test demonstration that improvements have been made which place the new weapons in advance of those at New York both in accuracy and range. The guns at Sandy Hook have been in place a year and were first of a half dozen ordered by government for the defense of New York and San Francisco. Other guns will be placed at Boston and the important coast cities included in the fortifications plan of the War Department. Eminent ordnance experts of the army contend that the pneumatic gun would be of incalculable value in dealing with a large fleet and that no ships would dare approach within its range, knowing that an explosion of 500 pounds of gelatin in the vicinity of the vessel would have a most disastrous result upon those upon board. It is asserted further that one shot from a dynamite gun would be worth more than a broadside of a ship. A strange life's romance is that of Mrs. Ida B. Gillespie of Shasta Cal., now on route to Denver, Colo., to meet her husband, whom she has not seen in thirty-three years,and whom her daughter,Sarah C.Cooper of Portland,never saw although he is her father.In 1861the woman married Simon S.Gillespie in Galena Ill.In 1862,the year their daughter was born,Gillespie went into the army.Mrs.Gillespie was advised from the front that Gillespie had been killed in action.Soon thereafter she and her people left Galena,and her friends there lost track of her.“Ten days ago,” said Mrs.Gillespie to a reporter in Portland，“I received a letter fromthe dead,and it shocked me so that I fell ina fit and went from one swoon into another for thirty-six hours,and my doctor feared that I would die in one of them.The letter was from my dear husband，whom I for so many years mourned as being amongthe dead.Hew wrote me that he had no chance ofreturning home tillthe fall of 1864.BYthat timeno one in Galena could give himthe slightest clew to my placeof abode.Thekey knew that we had moved to Omaha,and laterto Milwaukee,and for several monthshe advertised for me and my familyin these cities.The then traveled offand on;for two years in searchof us,and atlast gave me and his childup as forever lost.Nearly a month ago Mr.Gillespie metinDenvera Robert Whitechillof Shasta county,knowingme quite well.As I had neverremarried,Mr.Wittehill spoke toMr.Gillespieof knowinga womanbyhis nameinCaliforniaanda relationmyhistorytohim.JudgingfromwhatMr.Gillespiewroteme,hewmusthave experiencedsimilar sensationsto minewhenhe learnedthatIwasyetamongtheliving.Hewhasbeena residentofColoradofork twentyears,andhealsoneverremarried.Icanscarolybidethetime tillI see him again.I am now57yearsofage,butthehappyeventmakesme feelas ifIwereagaina girl.Imerelycameupheresoymydaughtercouldaccompanymeothefather.”Both ladies,thedispatchads，leave-to-nightfora scenewherewilltherebea delightfullyhappyreunionoflovingsearths.

Dudley Majoribanks, oldest son of Lord Tweedmouth, will come before the High Court of England within a couple of weeks. The lady appraises her injured feelings and blighted hopes of being a bareness at the figure of $100,000, and positively refused to settle the matter out of court at $15,000. The poor young man does not deny his verbal promise of marriage was confirmed in writing, but will plead that it was rescinded by mutual consent. It is likely that he will go on the witness stand, but should be unwieldy do so, the fun afforded to outsiders will be immense. Lord Tweedmouth's friends say that the latter has behaved very well. He offered, if Birdie would agree to a postponement of marriage for two years, to make no further objection to the match, if both were of the same mind at the end of that period. But the lady, confident of her influence over her Dudley, scornfully declined all compromises. Then his Lordship packed the smitten youth off to Canada with his mother, and notified Southerland that the match was off. She cabled Dudley to know if he was privy to such conduct and he replied in the affirmative, adding by letter that he still loved his own Birdie. One of the season's romances comes to light from Tampa Bay, Florida. The register at the village hotel contains among others, the following names: Hugo Bondix, Paris; France; R. E. V. Cobb, London, England, and M. Van Salli, Chicago. Though widely separated in their places of residence, these three men have but one object in coming to Tampa, and that is to find the missing wife of Mr. Bondix. Four years ago the Frenchman married the woman according to the common law form. He claimed to love her desperately, but postponed the legal ceremony on account of business affairs. Before this could be attended to they separated, owing, as he confesses, to his unreasonable jealousy. The woman then disappeared, covering up every trace of her whereabouts, and since that time her distracted lover has sought her in vain. He travelled all over France and England hoping to get track of her, but in vain. A short time ago Mr. Bondix was on his way around the world when he accidentally stumbled across a fresh trail at Hot Springs, Va., by reason of the reward of 600 francs for information that would locate the woman. Among others attracted to the case was a young Englishman, who thought he could do a little detective work as a diversion. Mr. Van Salli, who was on his way to Florida, became acquainted with the Frenchman at Chicago, and the two traveled together as far as Old Point Comfort, where they resolved word from Cobb that the missing woman was Richmond, on her way to Florida. From this point the three pursuers had an exciting chase down the Atlantic coast, but the woman sought for seemed to keep just ahead, though she could scarcely have thought that her hus-
