The Weekly Gazette. ISSUEED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY... MAY 14, 1896 OBSERVATIONS ON THE SCHOOL CENSUS. The consensus of opinion among those best competent to judge, is that the recent school census of this district, while it shows the number of children to be below that returned a year ago, is nevertheless accurate, and must be abided by. The report last year probably showed the "high water mark" in the number of our census school children, and though the work was no doubt conscientiously performed, yet it is doubtful if we were really entitled to the large percentage of increase at that time indicated. In 1894 the census marshal returned 628 children between the ages of 5 and 17 years in the district, and in 1895, although we reckoned that we had lost some 35 children to the newly formed district of Magnolia, which was formed in large part out of our district, the returns showed no less than 672 census children, an increase of 44 over the year before; or, if we count the 35 children lost to Magnolia, an increase of 79. This and the increase at Magnolia showed a third of the entire increase in the county. It is doubtful if we were really entitled to all of that, although we showed a wonderful increase. This year we have lost, as compared with the report of last year, 47 children, but our force of teachers will remain the same, although we may not receive so large a slice of the State appropriation of school money. Alamitos shows the largest relative percentage of gain in the county, springing up from 17 children last year to 46 this year, an increase of 29. Centralia is next with an increase of 42. Sustaining as it did a loss last year, on account of the creation of Magnolia district, of 24 children, this year's increase is especially flattering, and taken in conjunction with its neighbor Alamitos, shows how the country west of us is growing. Of the other districts in this neighborhood, Buena Park has an increase of 10, Fullerton sustains a loss of 1, Orangethorpe gains 10, Peralta loses 4, Placentia gains 10, Olive gains 19, and Yorba gains 9. The new district at La Habra comes to the front with 44 school children, and Mag- Trinity.....1,305,412 41 1,017,900 84 Tuolumne.....667,056 77 548,520 22 Tulare.....18,990 00 10,000 00 Ventura.....264,624 00 372,622 00 Yolo.....1,873 00 1,000 00 Yuba.....111,482 34 107,480 20 Unapportioned.....395,340 00 348,632 57 Totals.....$22,844,664 29 $20,203,294 41 The esteemed Santa Ana Blade announced a day or two ago that Mr. R. Melrose of this city was a candidate for Assemblyman from this county. The Blade is in error. Mr. Melrose has been persuaded by his friends to become a candidate for State Senator from the Thirty-Ninth Senatorial District, embracing the counties of Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside, and may be considered as being before the people for that office, subject to the decision of the Senatorial District Convention. The esteemed Escondido Times, which has been insistent in its inexplicable advocacy of Reed for President, says, in view of the stampede to McKinley: "The dark horse" may yet surprise the politicians at St. Louis. It may be well to keep an eye on Robert T. Lincoln." What's the matter with McKinley, Mr. Times? Julian Berdugo will not be hanged—at least until he is given another opportunity to save his neck from a hemp rope.—Santa Ana correspondent. Inasmueh as Judge Towner has ruled that a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree was unjustifiable from the evidence in the case, it is difficult to see how Berdugo will be hanged at all.

NEW YORK, May 9.—A special to herHerald from Havana says: The conditionHavana is deplorable. Important businesshouses are closing every week, while othersare threatening to close, reducing the forcescutting down the salaries of those who main, while the prices of living alwaysbeneath are constantly increasing.

WASHINGTON, May 12.—"Fighting Evans of the navy does not approve ourecuban policy of the administration,andwhen he was in Washington a few dayshe frankly told the President so.He thius government ought to show its sympaiswith the insurgents and take a hand inshindy.If he had his way he wouldoceaniads out of Cuba entirely." The increase in the entire county during the year has been 189 census children, and reckoning upon the usual basis of 5 souls to each census child, the county has a population of 24,555, an increase of nearly a thousand and during the year. California produced during the year $15,334,317 69 worth of gold, and silver to the amount of $590,789 70, as we learn by the annual bulletin of the production of minerals by counties, issued by the State Mining Bureau, a copy of which we have just received through the kindness of the State Mineralogist, Mr. J. J. Crawford. Of the amount of gold produced, five of the counties of the State produced more than half the total output, as follows: Nevada, $1,789,815 66; Calaveras, $1,717,916 14; Placer, $1,599,743 79; Amador, $1,391,921 40; and Trinity, $1,166,745 13. Orange county shows the lowest output of gold during the year, its total being only $144 of that metal, and we make no showing whatever in the silver column, having produced none of that metal.

So the last time Capt.Evans was in Washington he called upon the Secretary of War and was introduced by Assistant Secretary McAdoo of the Navy Department,and also a Cuban sympathizer in secret.Every expressed his views with great freedom.Secretary Olney.as he did to his friend crony,the President,and among othershe said: "Mr.Secretary,the battleship Indies which I have the honor to command,i fasting fighting machine afloat,and will give the word.I will go down to itand with her alone will undertake to out out the entire Spanish fleet." The Secretary of State smiled,butmained silent. "See here,Mr.Secretary,"continued captain earnestly,"wouldn't you like have me ome dawn around Cuba and home a box of fine Havana cigars?" "I don't smoke,"was the Secretary's reply. Capt.Evans bowed obediently to the cision and said good-by,但他 could conceal his disappointment,and when left the Secretary's office he remarked undertone to Mr.McAdoo:"If they would only give me enchance in Cuba with my ship.no language but Spanish would spoken in hell for the next five years." Rudyard Kipling swore out a complaint in Battleboro,Vt.,charging that Beatle Balestier,his wife's only living brother on Wednesday on a highway leading to village,用indecent words and threatto assault him.A warrant was issued his brother-in-law's arrest There are reports as to what caused the bad one is that when the Kipling mansion being erected,Batty acted as agent due the absence of Kipling,and caused Kipling to run onto the land of his ownto be used for fertilizingbut that lastBalestier ordered Kipling to remove it.second and far more probable story is effect that the trouble grows out stories which she brethren-in law alleges been circulated by Kipling.Anyhow Wednesday Beatty overtook Kipling road,and hot words followed.it was that Beatty is alleged to have threatened lick the novelist if he did not retract stories he had told concerning him.the threats and unseemly words，as obey by Kipling,Batty told Kipling he gave him a week to take water."This relief will be learned with great surprise.Wolcott Balestier,brother of Beatle Balestier led to Kipling marriage with Balestier's sister and moved to Vermont.Wolcott Balestier a brilliant writer，但他 died suddenly London before he had reached the age.

Of the amount of gold produced, five of the counties of the State produced more than half the total output, as follows: Nevada, $1,789,815 66; Calaveras, $1,717,916 14; Placer, $1,599,634 79; Amador, $1,391,929 40; and Trinity, $1,166,745 13. Orange county shows the lowest output of gold during the year, its total being only $144 of that metal, and we make no showing whatever in the silver column, having produced none of that metal. The only other mineral in the lengthy category of metallic, non-metallic, hydrocarbon and structural materials included in the report, which we produce is coal, and we are heavy on coal, only three other counties in the State outranking us as coal producers. Orange county produced 900 tons of that commodity, valued at $4,000. Contra Costa leads the coal producers with 48,635 tons, valued at $139,655; Amador follows with 21,323 tons of low grade coal, valued at $31,985; and our neighbor Riverside brings up the list with 7,950 tons valued at $15,000, something under the return for its orange output.

From the Los Angeles Herald, May 13th. Some weeks since a citizen of Minneapolis called at police headquarters and notified that official of the presence in the city of one Charles J. Von Arnold, whose reputation was one of the shadiest kind and who, it was claimed, had a record as an all round bad character, as could be learned by inquiry among the officials of different cities in the northwest. A number of newspaper clippings were shown, all of which placed Arnold in an unenviable light. Since that time the detectives have kept their eye on him, and, learning of his presence on Broadway yesterday and that he habitually carried a gun, Officer Miles Long decided to arrest him. This was done and he was taken to the station. On searching his person the revolver was forthcoming and also other articles of peculiar nature. Pinned to his suspender close to the armhole of his vest was an alleged police badge. It is a six-pointed star made of brass, the face having been gold washed. It is lettered as follows, the words "chief" and "police" showing up prominently, while the balance is in smaller characters, the little connecting word between being the smallest of all. The star reads: The American Detective CHIEF and POLICE Bureau. In the prisoner's pockets were letters addressed to him as Von Arnold and also others bearing the title of Baron Karl R. A. Von Steinmetz, identifying him as the personage who has lately attained considerable notoriety in Anaheim and Pasadena by his actions and claims of noble blood, etc. However, he was booked for carrying concealed weapons and placed inside. Later in the day his photo was taken and he was arraigned before Justice Morrison. Thursday, May 14th, was set as the date for trial and bail was fixed at $50 cash or $100 bonds. It was impossible for him to secure a guarantor so he was relegated to a cell and the company of Lawyer Carpenter for the night. The story of Von Arnold's or the Baron Von Steinmetz's career in these parts is an interesting one, although he is charged with no serious offense there are those who say and offer to prove that he is a thorough scallawag and confidence operator. Between five and six weeks ago Von Arnold made his debut in Anaheim, that flourishing German colony, and with great emphasis announced himself as the Baron Von Steinmetz, who had served in the German army and was of the bluest blood in Germany. There he became acquainted with a charming young geles on Tuesday solves a mystery of one year's standing in San Francisco. Just about the time the community was horrified by the discovery of the Emmanuel-church murders, a little more than a year ago, a young married woman, Mrs. Ella Forsyth, disappeared from her home. At one time it was thought that she was another of Durant's victims. No amount of inquiry ever located the young woman, but the suicide of Mrs. May Emerson, telegraphed from Los Angeles, solved the mystery, for the suicide was none other than the missing wife of George Forayth. It now develops that after leaving home Mrs. Forsyth met John Emery at the corner of Taylor and Eddy streets, and they are supposed to have eloped that day. He is no other than Fred Emerson, who was supposed in Los Angeles to be the husband of the woman who committed suicides. It was at first thought, when Mrs. Forsyth disappeared, that she had committed suicide or had fallen into the water and had been washed out to sea, as she had told her aunt that she was going to Fort Mason to pick shells. For weeks her husband patrolled the beach, and haunted the morgue, thinking that each tide would wash her body ashore. Finally word came which raised suspicion, and he ended his long vigil. THE POPULISTS. OPENING OF THEIR STATE CONVENTION AT SACRAMENTO. SACRAMENTO, May 12.—The People's Party State Convention convened in the Assembly chamber of the Capitol at 10:20 o'clock this morning. Chairman Wardell of the State Central Committee called the convention to order. In his opening remarks the chairman reviewed the action of the late Republican convention, and designated their work as one mass of inconsistencies. Wardell said the Populists have 70,000 votes for suffrage, and will work for equal rights. H. H. Johnson of San Francisco moved that Susan B. Anthony and other suffragists be seated on the platform. The motion was adopted unanimously, and when the ladies were escorted down the aisle the convention arose and gave three cheers. H. McSwain of Alameda nominated Dr. Castle of Merced for temporary chairman. Webster of San Luis Obispo named C. A. Barlow of San Luis Obispo, and Green Majors of Alameda seconded Barlow. A motion to close the nominations was lost. D. V. Fowler of Freano and Bell of Colusa were also nominated. On the roll-call Barlow received 184 votes, Bell, 35; Castle, 68; Fowler, 22; necessary to a choice, 155. Barlow was elected. A recommendation from the State Central Committee that delegates be allowed to cast votes for absent members was carried. Upon the recommendation of the State Central Committee, T. Hamilton was named as temporary secretary, and R. E. Bush, John Royal and Eugene Bradford, assistants. RELEASED. He is quoted as saying he very tired in the mountains, in where negroes live. He says army in good condition and quite weak. The General often remarked: I get ready to cross the trocha, cross it. The troops cannot stop me more than they can defeat me where I am. INGTON, May 12.—"Fighting Bob" of the navy does not approve of the policy of the administration, and was in Washington a few days ago likely told the President so. He thinks government ought to show its sympathy for insurgents and take a hand in the war. It he had his way he would drive out of Cuba entirely, and the island to the United States. He President some powerful arguments in that view of the case, but the begged off and referred "Fighting Secretary Olney," who, he said, was after the Cuban business. The last time Capt. Evans was in Washington called upon the Secretary of State is introduced by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Department, who is Cuban sympathizer in secret. Evans had his views with great freedom to Mary Olney, as he did to his friend and the President, and among other said: Secretary, the battleship Indiana, have the honor to command, is the fighting machine afloat, and if you are the word, I will go down to Cuba with her alone will undertake to clean entire Spanish fleet." Secretary of State smiled, but resilient. Here, Mr. Secretary," continued the earnestly, "wouldn't you like to cruise down around Cuba and bring box of fine Havana cigars?" Don't smoke," was the Secretary's curtsey. Evans bowed obediently to the demand said good-by, but he could not his disappointment, and when he Secretary's office he remarked in an ome to Mr. McAdoo: "If they would love me enhance in Cuba with my battle-zone language but Spanish would be in hell for the next five years." Bard Kipling swore out a complaint lobeboro, Vt., charging that Beatty S. his wife's only living brother, had Tuesday on a highway leading to the used indecent words and threatened him. A warrant was issued for enchanting in Cuba with my battle-zone language but Spanish would be in hell for the next five years." Bard Kipling swore out a complaint lobeboro, Vt., charging that Beatty S. his wife's only living brother, had Tuesday on a highway leading to the used indecent words and threatened him. A warrant was issued for enchanting in Cuba with my battle-zone language but Spanish would be in hell for the next five years." After creations and unseen words, as charged by Kipling, Beatty told Kipling he "would him a week to take water." This quarrel will be learned with great surprise, as Balletier, brother of Beatty, wasigung's closest friend and wrote in collation with Kipling, "The Naulahka." Balletier for Balletier led to Kipling's age with Balletier's sister and his re-entry to Vermont.

[mar] The identification of the woman who committed suicide in Westlake Park in Los An The bureau had been established by him in the former city in 1889 and since conducted under his direction. Asked if he had not assumed the name of Baron Karl R. A. Von Steinmetz, he acknowledged that he had, but said it was used in the pursuit of his business and legitimately. When asked what that business was he assumed a secret air and said he could not talk on that subject, but that it would all come out in due time. The reason he carried the gun was that he was the detective who several years ago, in Minnesota, caused a man named White to receive a life sentence in the penitentiary for the murder of a Dr. Harris. He had wormed himself into the White family and secured the evidence which caused his conviction. For this the convict's brother, Harry White, had sworn to kill him, and he did not propose to be caught unawares. Harry White is according to him, now in Los Angeles, and he considered himself liable to meet him any day. He denied having cut any great flash at either Anaheim or Pasadena, but admitted that he drank beer, etc. His arrest was attributed to the influence of "Billy" Pinkerton, the great detective, who wished to balk him in certain moves he was making in his great case. The flash star taken from him is according to him, his emblem as chief of the detective bureau of which he is the head. Just now he is working for a San Francisco party, and the matter was important, far too much so to make any explanation of his moves or the reason for assuming the baronial title and dilating on his landed possessions and castles on the Rhine. The barron showed at least one good trait when he especially desired that the young lady's name be mentioned, as she was an entirely innocent party, was not engaged to him, but had been on buggy rides with him on various occasions. Whatever he had done or might be accused of, the lady was an entirely innocent party and should be protected. Von Arnold further stated that he had been in Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Paul and other cities and done business in them. He was a legitimate detective and handled only straight work, all of which is denied by the officers, who say that he is an undoubted smoothy, and at one time, a year or more ago, did a party out of several hundred dollars, which matter was hushed up, as the victim refused to prosecute. There is also in the city a lady who knows much about the past record of Von Arnold, and who possesses a mass of material that would make his ears burn to read. In court yesterday afternoon J. E. Gross, a private detective who claims to have come from the same town as Von Arnold, appeared and did what he could for his friend, who was represented by Lawyer Shinn. In his detective capacity Von Arnold was connected with a prominent law firm of the city, and he claims that they will vouch for him. The police are certain that he is of the class who make their living by their wits or worse. The residence of the bride's parents in this city, Tuesday, May 12th, 1896, by the Rev. Mr. Wood, W. A.

The most comical prisoner brought to the County Jail for an age loomed up Monday in the person of Carl Menzel of Norwalk, who was committed pending trial by Justice Truitt for battery. Carl is 23 years of age, six foot one without his hob-nailed brogans, his pants are short and his arms stick out of his sleeves a half a yard. On the top of his round head he wears a battered stovepipe hat for which he has such veneration that he never takes it off until compelled to His whiskers are downy as the down of a recently hatched chick and cover most of his face, and out of his wealth of reddish furze pop out two eyes that are the picture of rural innocence. Carl is out of sight—now He had a row according to his own statement with one Pablo Salcedo on Sunday night, and when the Mexican pulled a knife on him he punched him to a finish, and then the constable stopped the fun. The prisoner said he could have told more, but after looking at his surroundings in the County Jail, he sighed and subdued. MARRIAGE.
