The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... SEPTEMBER 16, 1897 WITH THE OLD VETS. On Thursday we attended the reunion of the old soldiers at Santa Ana, where the Blue and the Gray fraternized together. To those whose efforts in the management of the gathering made it is so successful—to those who looked after the details, and guarded the comfort of the visitors—it must be said that a better arranged or more enjoyable gathering never assembled together in the county. The visiting members of the press were especially well cared for. Reserved seats at tables for them to write upon, and think of it, ye who were not there—reserved seats at the banquet board, go far toward emphasizing the fact that the old boys in charge of the festivities had a kindly feeling for the men and women of the press. Arrived at Santa Ana and purchasing a five-cent cigar from Mitt Phillips, we move over and make our headquarters at Capt. Smith’s undertaking office, a congenial spot, where men gather from all parts of the county to sit and gas about the wind and the weather and the news of the day. Capt. Smith was himself in some of the hardest fighting during the war, and at Lookout Mountain took the American flag and planted it at the highest point on the hill, within sight of all. The conversation turns upon war topics, and every old soldier who drops in adds his quota to the volume of interesting stories of the war. Down the street a fire and drum corps marshalls the gathering hosts, and going over to Neill’s hall we find the room crowded with veterans and their guests, a sprinkling of ex-Confederates being discernible in the multitude. Present among them is the Hon. W. W. Bowers, the cynosure of all eyes, who stands in the center of a group of friends. The business meeting of the morning has resulted as follows: J. H. Hall of Santa Ana, elected President for the ensuing year; C. Chandler, Orange, Vice President; J. W. McKenny, Buena Park, Second leader, whom the South recognized at once had risen to place a staying hand upon the conflict. It had been difficult for Grant to effect an entrance into the army—he had to fight for his commission, yet his subsequent victories at Belmont, Corinth and Donelson stamped him the leader that had risen to lead the Northern hosts to victory. The battle of the Wilderness demonstrated to the South that the war was at an end. The Confederate loss was 10,000 men; that of the Union army 20,000; yet Grant felt that it was better to sacrifice that number of men and decide the conflict, than to prolong the struggle with the certainty of losing many times that number. After the Wilderness the South knew the war was at an end. The speaker’s brief reference to the fact that the South felt at that stage of the war that McClellan was no longer at the head of the Union armies evoked a murmur of applause that sounded impressively throughout the hall. The old veterans sat with moistened eye, and bowed their heads in thoughtful, reminiscent mood. The speaker dwelt upon the magnanimous treatment accorded the Southern armies by the victorious Northerners, and his speech was happy in story as it was eloquent in point of historical detail. After the war was over the speaker said he thrust his bayonet into the ground, and was ready to take his old antagonists by the hand and feel the war was over. D. M. Baker was called upon to respond to the toast, “The Press,” and delivered a highly interesting and characteristic speech—another of the good things of the afternoon. Mr. Baker rises at times to the empyrean heights of the spellbinder, and his speech was the most eloquent we have ever heard him make. He defended the press from the attacks of the unthinking and unscrupulous, and held that in free speech, a free press and free thought, the shackles of bigotry and oppression could never be fastened upon the people. E. T. Langley spoke from the standpoint of the North, rousing up the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He wished there were more flags in evidence in the decorations of the town; but he felt it was carelessness, and not intent. Mr. Langley said that an era of better feeling had sprung up between the North and South, and it was of common occurrence to see Down the street a life and drum corps marshalls the gathering hosts, and going over to Neill's hall we find the room crowded with veterans and their guests, a sprinkling of ex-Confederates being discernible in the multitude. Present among them is the Hon. W. W. Bowers, the cynosure of all eyes, who stands in the center of a group of friends. The business meeting of the morning has resulted as follows: J. H. Hall of Santa Ana, elected President for the ensuing year; C. Chandler, Orange, Vice President; J. W. McKenny, Buena Park, Second Vice President; J. W. Crawford, Tustin, Third Vice President; W. L. G. Haskins of Tustin, Secretary; A. B. Paul, Santa Ana, Treasurer; Rev. A. L. Deering, Santa Ana, Chaplain; Executive Committee—Paul Seegar, Tustin; T. J. Alexander, Santa Ana; Dr. Bartlett, Artesia; Irwin Barr, West Anaheim; Chas. Edelman, Orange. Obituary Committee—W. H. H. Clayton, Orange; J. T. Nourse, Santa Ana; A. McDermont, Fullerton; J. W. King, Garden Grove; Geo. W. Stevens, El Toro. The membership of the association is placed at 160. As the hour of noon approaches the order to fall in for lunch is announced, and Blue and Gray get in line in response to their names called by the Orderly Sergeant. "We must obey orders," they say, as they fall in line. The line of march is taken up, out of the hall, downstairs and up the street to G. A. R. hall, over Fairbanks' drugstore, where tables, decked out in cloths of snowy whiteness, are loaded with a perfect feast of good things. Who is responsible for this all? The question suggests itself intuitively. What guiding hand has prepared the way for these countless dishes of fowl of ham, of meats, such an array of salads, beans and pickles, such a wealth of cakes and pies and cookies? A scent of boiling coffee and good things generally comes o'er one stealing. But, pahaw! in the multitude that fills up the hall so rapidly, and files around the tables, there will be never a chance for the newspaper scribes who are at the end of the line. Alas, alas, in sight of the tempting provender, it must be that those who persist in coming late must be debarred the pleasure of seating themselves at this dainty festal board. But what's this? A separate room for the reporters? Goodness, gracious! . . . It is even so; and by a flank movement, executed under the guidance of Comrades Barnes and Clever, we are ushered into an adjoining room, where a table spread with all the delicacies already enumerated, feasts the eye. And for nigh onto an hour those scribes wage battle upon the comestibles, while the good ladies of the Woman's Relief Corps and shiloh Circle, from the room adjoining, issue periodically with more good things in the way of fowl, pies, cakes and coffee. Such a spread was never seen. And the way those newspaper fellows waded into it was a caution. We almost imagined the good ladies in the other room, casting their eyes upon the slaughter, wondered the press from the attacks of the unthinking and unscrupulous, and held that in free speech, a free press and free thought, the shackles of bigotry and oppression could never be fastened upon the people. E. T. Langley spoke from the standpoint of the North, rousing up the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He wished there were more flags in evidence in the decorations of the town; but he felt it was carelessness, and not intent. Mr. Langley said that an era of better feeling had sprung up between the North and South, and it was of common occurrence to see the old soldiers of the Blue and the Gray fraternizing together. He had attended a reunion of Confederates, down in Georgia, a year or two ago, and he was the only "Yank" among hundreds of Confederates; yet he was never treated more courteously, more royally; and he urged upon his hearers that if they ever had a chance to attend a similar reunion in the South, to make it a point to be present, for there will be lots of hospitality, lots of good things to hear, and lots of good things to eat. His references to the war called out frequent applause. He wanted to see the Stars and Stripes everywhere; and to hear the old Southern soldiers acknowledge the North was right in the war, and the South wrong. Mr. Langley is a forcible and entertaining speaker, and as he has recently come to Orange county to reside, and made a very good impression upon those with whom he has come in contact, we shall doubtless hear from him again. He is at present the Assistant District Attorney. Hon. W. W. Bowers of San Diego followed with a forceful and well delivered address, dealing with the causes leading up to the war. The appearance of Mr. Bowers was the occasion of a spontaneous outburst of applause that was long continued and hearty, and must have left upon his mind the impression that his numberless friends in Orange county are as enthusiastic and glad to see him and their friendship for him as cordial as ever. After dealing with the causes that had conspired for many years to prepare the way for the final outbreak of hostilities, he dwelt upon the happy feeling pervading the North and South, and referred to the fact that the Union had work for the North and South to do. Toward the close of his address he referred to the fact that differences in religious opinion had conspired to bring about an apparent separation of the old Union soldiers. At the beginning of the war, the Union asked not whether the recruit was a Catholic, Protestant, Jew, Gentile or man of other faith, but he was welcomed into the ranks to bear arms for the protection of the Union. Shame upon those, he said, who because of religious differences would seek to deny an old Union soldier the same treatment accorded to others of different religious beliefs. The remarks fell upon a vast audience still into silence by the eloquence of the speaker, and at his close Mr. Bowers was loudly applauded. ANOTHER RAILWAY A Transcontinental Road Through Anaheim En Route San Pedro. The Los Angeles Herald story which, if true, means this valley, as well as to all eastern California. The paper will be reliable of its information is to the effect that a route chosen for the proposed Vand tension connecting the Union with the Terminal, and a made. The road is to be extended westerly direction from M Utah through the southern State of Nevada, passing Las Vegas valley, then across jade desert, crossing the Ati Pacific railroad a few miles low station; thence it is to rect line to the Morongo pass which the engineers have found that does not exceed a two grade at any point. Thence for the San Gorgonio pass north of the town of Banning through the town of L Thence it runs through the valley to Redlands; thence side, crossing the San Timetable and Southern Pacific rail high treble; thence through the P south to Anaheim; making tion with the Los Angeles near the county farm; freight pointthe Terminal road will reach Los Angeles city in tion or San Pedro bay and tion other. Bonds for the building of some have been practically sold; since the close of 1897 active co will have commenced. The estimate about how long it will to complete the line in the modern railroad building; enterprise is backed by money and energy. It is beli active work will begin as settlement of the ge claim against the Union Pac is only a matter of a little there is no postponement on this claim will be settled next. The building of this third mental road into Southern New have same effect as ing of the second had. It do require a very long memory mindthe effects of that work suit ofthe building of this section experienced a s boom unparalleled in his country.

And for nigh onto an hour those scribes wage battle upon the comestibles, while the good ladies of the Woman's Relief Corps and Shiloh Circle, from the room adjoining, issue periodically with more good things in the way of fowl, pies, cakes and coffee. Such a spread was never seen. And the way those newspaper fellows waded into it was a caution. We almost imagined the good ladies in the other room, casting their eyes upon the slaughter, wondered where those reporters had had their last meal. It was a dainty and comprehensive spread, full of good things, and lots of them, and it was a privilege to be there. In the afternoon Neill's Hall was crowded with an audience that filled the auditorium to the doors, who gathered to be present at the literary and musical exercises of the day. The proceedings were opened with prayer by Chaplain Deering of Santa Ana, who premised the offering by stating that he had prayed for the Gray during the dark days of the civil war, when he was fighting them, and he was ready to pray for them now again. His prayer was earnest and impressive, for Blue and Gray alike—fervent, touching and of tender pathos. Thomas' orchestra followed with a musical selection, after which W. M. Scott, the presiding officer, delivered a well-timed and patriotic introductory address, which was one of the good things in a program filled with a feast of good things intellectually—interesting, instructive and eloquent. N. Blackstock of Ventura was the first speaker of the afternoon. Mr. Blackstock is a gentleman of commanding presence and fine voice, and at times his address, touching the historical features of the war, was thrilling and eloquent. He entered the first Southern regiment that took the field, and was at the firing upon Fort Sumpter. The North, he said, had at the beginning of the war, kindly furnished the South with leaders for the great conflict, and these leaders remained in command until the end—Lee, Jackson, Johnson, Beauregard and Longstreet. The North had at the beginning no leaders, and only the great theater of war developed in time the separation of the old Union soldiers. At the beginning of the war, the Union asked not whether the recruit was a Catholic, Protestant, Jew, Gentile or man of other faith, but he was welcomed into the ranks to bear arms for the protection of the Union. Shame upon those, he said, who because of religious differences would seek to deny an old Union soldier the same treatment accorded to others of different religious beliefs. The remarks fell upon a vast audience still into silence by the eloquence of the speaker, and at his close Mr. Bowers was loudly applauded. The shadows of evening were falling when the audience filed out upon the street. The sound of patriotic songs fills the hall as we hasten for our train. It has been a very pleasant day, happily spent. The God of hosts protect the old soldiers, Blue and Gray, in their declining years! GUSTAV HANSEN and W. G. POTTER, the committee appointed by the Orange County beet growers’ association to visit Chino and confer with the management of the factory relative to a possible raise in the price of beets for next season, went over Thursday, returning the next day. Mr. Hansen informs us they were received very courteously by Messrs. Hache and Cottman. In the matter of the raise in the price of beets the committee was referred to Mr. Oxnard, who is expected out from the east in a fortnight. The Chino beet raisers, among whom our fellow townsmen mingled freely, are downcast at the present prospects of the crop. There are over 5000 acres at Chino yet to harvest (only about 1200 having been harvested), and the growers freely state they will have beets in the ground until February, so Mr. Hansen informs us. The percent of the beets is so low that a large tonage cannot be received at the factory, and the preference has so far been toward the beets from this section. While seventy-five per cent of the crop hereabout has been harvested, at Chino it is doubtful if 20 per cent of the crop has been taken out. Moreover, while the local crop of beets could be taken out and delivered in a week, the Chino beets cannot be harvested until well along toward the end of the year, and perhaps, as stated above, not until February. Beet raisers will have the same effect as before on this section experienced a boom unparalleled in this country.

ORS know what this means. Should rains occur before that time, the crop should be in great part ruined. Another conference will probably be held with Mr. Oxnard relative to a raise in the price for beets, upon that gentleman's return. THE BEET HARVEST. Now Progress Being Made—Only Seven Thousand Tons to Take Out Affairs are quiet about the laboratory and beet dump, compared with the spirited scenes enacted thereabout earlier in the season, when nearly as many tons of beets were shipped out per day as are now harvested in a week. No beets are received on Mondays, and only 1000 tons per week are harvested. To date there are between 22,000 and 23,000 tons harvested, from 1980 acres, according to Senator Jones' figures, and there are yet about 700 acres in the field. At the present rate the harvest will continue about seven weeks. DAILY AVERAGES.

Among the kids to start to school on Monday is Man Wo's little son and he who has been taking with the honor ANOTHER RAILROAD A Transcontinental Road to Come Through Anaheim En Route to San Pedro. The Los Angeles Herald prints a story which, if true, means much to this valley, as well as to all of Southern California. The paper vouches for the reliability of its information, which is to the effect that a route has been chosen for the proposed Vanderbilt extension connecting the Union Pacific with the Terminal, and a map of it made. The road is to be extended in a southwesterly direction from Milford in Utah through the southern portion of the State of Nevada, passing through Las Vegas valley, then across the Mojave desert, crossing the Atlantic and Pacific railroad a few miles from Ludlow station; thence it is to run in a direct line to the Morongo pass, through which the engineers have found a line that does not exceed a two per cent grade at any point. Thence it heads for the San Gorgonio pass, running north of the town of Banning, but passing through the town of Beaumont. Thence it runs through the Yucatina valley to Redlands; thence to Riverside, crossing the San Timeteo canyon and the Southern Pacific railroad on a high trestle; thence directly west to Chino; thence through the Puente hills south to Anaheim, making a connection with the Los Angeles Terminal near the county farm, from which point the Terminal road will be used to reach Los Angeles city in one direction or San Pedro bay and harbor in the other. Bonds for the building of this road have been practically sold, and before the close of 1897 active construction will have commenced. The public can estimate about how long it will require to complete the line in these days of modern railroad building, when the enterprise is backed by unlimited money and energy. It is believed that active work will begin soon after the settlement of the government claim against the Union Pacific, which is only a matter of a little time, as if there is no postponement of the sale the claim will be settled next month. The building of this third transcontinental road into Southern California will have the same effect as the building of the second had. It does not require a very long memory to call to mind the effects of that work. As a result of the building of the Santa Fe this section experienced a speculative boom unparalleled in the history of the country. MAGNOLIA ITEMS.

In Judge Pierce's court on Friday morning and listened to a fatherly lecture from the Judge upon the wickedness of their ways. Asked by the court whether they were guilty or not, the boys spoke up frankly and said, one after the other, "Guilty." The Judge advised them that they were traveling the road that would lead them to the State prison, but after the lecture said he would dismiss them this time, warning them never to come before him again.

Among the kids to start to school on Monday is Man Wo's little son and heir, who has been taken with the honorable ambition to get a common school education. Mr. Wo is highly gratified at the idea of sending his boy to school, but is apprehensive lest the little fellow be set upon by bad boys after school. This little celestial is a well mannered little heathen, lifts his hat very politely to people he knows, and we do not think he should meet with harm. Man Wo has spoken to us about it, and we have assured him that Principal Little and his corps of able assistants will see to it that the little fellow is not harmed.

Mrs. Mottram and her niece have moved into Mrs. Davis' house on Lemon street, below Broadway. A TEXAS TORNADO. Terrific Wind Storm Does Great Damage to Property—Lives Lost. PORT ARTHUR, Tex., Sept. 13. A tornado, terrible in its intensity, struck this city at an early hour last evening. Six people are known to have been killed while many others were injured. Buildings were blown down and great damage was wrought by the cyclone. The buildings blown down included the railroad roundhouse in which May Ainsworth was killed. Several residences suffered. Many outbuildings were completely blown away. From early morning the sky was threatening and a stiff gale blew. No rain of consequence fell until 4 in the afternoon, and then it was accompanied by a heavy wind that increased in intensity until it reached the velocity of eighty miles an hour. Every building in town is of frame construction except one brick, the Port Arthur Banking company building, one end and roof of which was blown away. There were many acts of bravery, and the suspense during the severity of the storm was terrible. Advices from Winnie, Tex., say that nearly all the houses there have been blown down and torn away. At Webb all of the barns and one house were demotised and scattered over the country. Nothing can be heard from Sabine Pass, as all telegraphic communication has been interrupted. A relief train left Beaumont to-night for this place and Sabine Pass. GALVESTON, Tex., Sept. 14. Later and more accurate advises received today from points in the storm belt show that the reports that reached here were greatly exaggerated.

Nothing can be heard from Sabine Pass, as all telegraphic communication has been interrupted. A relief train left Beaumont to-night for this place and Sabine Pass. GALVESTON, (Tex.), Sept. 14.—Later and more accurate advice received today from points in the storm belt show that the reports that reached here were greatly exaggerated. At Sabine Pass the following are reported as drowned: Capt. Green S. Moore, Capt. L. L. Betis, Capt. George Wolford and Engineer W. B. Ratcliffe. These men were all on vessels which were sunk, and up to a late hour to-day have not been accounted for. Along the Gulf and Interstate Railway several wrecks occurred, but no one was killed. At Winnie, George Barber was badly cut about the knees and wrists; Maude Williams had her feet and wrists badly injured; Mrs. Barber's limbs were severely injured, and people in the vicinity of Winnie were generally injured, but none was killed. Port Arthur suffered the brunt of the blast, and half the town is estimated to have been destroyed or badly damaged. The wind came up about 4 o'clock and increased in force, blowing from the south and gradually working into the east. At Sabine Pass, the greatest damage resulted to shipping, and the only loss of life was among the shipping. There was no loss of life in New or Old Sabine proper. The tugs Fanny Guillotte and John P. Smith were sunk and the Norwegian steamer Ceres, 800 tons, was torn from her moorings at the wharf and blown five miles north, where she grounded in a few feet of water. At the new town several buildings were blown from their foundations and several partially-constructed buildings were demolished. No one in town was seriously injured, the casualties being confined to the shipping. Eight miles of the Sabine railway, north of the Sabine Pass, is washed away. Twenty-five hundred feet of the export pier at Port Arthur is destroyed, and the people of that town are so terror-stricken that they are leaving it as fast as they can get away. No estimate of the damage to property at Port Arthur and Sabine Pass has been obtained. The damage to buildings and crops is severe. The losses to farmers in Jefferson county alone will approximate $150,000, which they would have had in hand Take a look at that fine sterling silver Flat Ware!

A Curious Legend—Some Relics of Emperor Maximilian. Queretaro was a town before the Spanish conquest and was made a city in 1655. A legend of Queretaro is that an Otomite chief, Fernando de Tapia by name, undertook to convert the city to Christianity in a way that seems novel to us, but was common enough to his day. He came from Tula with a challenge to the people of Queretaro to a fair stand up fight. If he won, the people surviving were to be baptized. The challenge was accepted, but while the fight was in progress a dark cloud came up and the blessed Santiago was seen in the heavens with a fiery cross, whereupon the people of Queretaro gave up and were baptized. They set up a stone cross to commemorate the event on the site of the present church of Santa Cruz. There is scarcely a church in Mexico which has not a legend of this kind attached to it. The town is identified with the history of Mexico. Here the treaty of peace between the United States and Mexico was ratified in 1848, and here Maximilian made his last stand in 1867, was obliged to surrender and was shot. Everybody is interested in Maximilian mainly on no- DRY GOODS! Groceries, Provisions, Hardware, Willaw-ware and Glassware.

The town is identified with the history of Mexico. Here the treaty of peace between the United States and Mexico was ratified in 1848, and here Maximilian made his last stand in 1867, was obliged to surrender and was shot. Everybody is interested in Maximilian mainly on account of poor Carlotta. Maximilian was executed on the Cerro de las Campanas and with him Generals Miramin and Media. The place is marked by three little crosses of stone. The two generals were killed at the first volley, but Maximilian, who had requested that he be shot through the body that his mother might look upon his face, was only wounded, and a second firing was required to kill him. The emperor had been led to believe that Carlotta was dead. She became insane from grief and was kept in an asylum for many years, but she still lives and still mourns for her dead husband and the loss of her throne. The United States government protested against the execution of Maximilian, but in vain, Juarez refusing to spare him. There are all kinds of relics of Maximilian in Mexico—the Yturbide theater, where he was tried and condemned, the table on which the death warrant was signed, the wooden stools on which the prisoners sat during the trial and the coffin of Maximilian, whose remains were subsequently sent to Austria and buried at Miramar. I confess I do not share in any sentiment of pity for Maximilian, who was an adventurer without a shadow of right in Mexico and took the chances of war. He was, it is true, a victim of Napoleon and of his own ambition and was very scurvy treated by those who had induced him to set up his throne in Mexico, but to have released him would have been to establish a claimant for the Mexican throne. It was better that this man should die than that thousands should be sacrificed in the wars he would surely have fomented if he had been allowed to live.—Philadelphia Ledger Take a look at that fine new lot of sterling silver Flat Ware at Luedke's It's worth your inspection.

HAZELTON, Pa., Sept. 11. — Nineteen dead and forty-one wounded is the record of the Winchesterers wielded by the deputy sheriffs at Latimer yesterday afternoon. Eleven of the unfortunate miners dropped dead in their tracks under the terrible battery, four died during the night, and four this morning. The work of identifying the dead was actively going on all night, and a complete list of the victims will not be obtained for some time to come. Late yesterday afternoon a large body of strikers left this place for Latimer, and a posse of deputy sheriffs were hurried across the mountain to intercept them. Upon reaching Latimer, these formed into three companies under Thomas Hall, E. A Hess and Sam B. Price. Sheriff Martin was in command, and went out to meet the strikers who drew up suddenly, and listened in silence until he had read the riot act. This finished, a low muttering arose among the foreigners. The sheriff, in a determined tone, forbade an advance. Some one struck the sheriff, and the next moment there was a command to the deputies to fire. The guns belched forth a terrible volley, and a cry of dismay went up. The strikers toppled and fell over each other; those who remained unhurt stampeded. Nearly all the strikers who suffered were foreigners. Sentiment is divided concerning the affair. The strikers and their sympathizers claim that the collision was entirely the fault of the deputies, while the sheriff and his men insist they were attacked by the desperate strikers. HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 11. — Governor Hastings has ordered the first City Troop of Philadelphia to take the field, and they are moving toward Hazelton.
