IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 31, 1880 A total accident occurred at Madera station on Sunday afternoon, the victim being Mrs. Schumacher of Los Angeles, who is a daughter of Mrs. Jander of this place. The unfortunate lady accompanied by her daughter (Mrs. Preuss) and niece were returning from a visit to relatives in Illinois. The particulars of the accident we take from The Herald: "When the train reached Madera some time was spent in shifting and changing the cars. Mrs. Preuss, who was unwell, and Miss Stoutz had gone into an adjoining car, where there was a better circulation of air, Mrs. Schumacher keeping Mrs. Preuss' young child. After a time Mrs. Schumacher took the child, which was restless and went to the platform to pacify it. As she stood there the locomotive hitched on to the train, giving the car a sudden jar which threw both the lady and child head foremost in to the track, Mrs. Schumacher's head and shoulders remaining between the rails the rest of her body falling outside and across one of the rails. While in this position, the wheels of one car passed over her abdomen, causing death, it is thought, instantly. The child providentially fell between the rails, and with the exception of a few bruises on the side of the head, supposed to have been caused by the lower part of the brake striking it, escaped unhurt. Two gentlemen, who were standing on the platform at the time of the accident tried to catch the unfortunate lady as she fell, but the jar was so sudden they were unable to do so." The Chinese vegetable peddlers and laundrymen in Los Angeles pay licenses which amount in the aggregate to between four and five hundred dollars per month. But they are in revolt and refuse to pay further license, on the ground that they are producers and therefore cannot be made to pay license, and further that the last Legislature enacted a law declaring that aliens ineligible to become citizens cannot take out a license. The matter will be taken into the courts.

The increase in population in the city over that of 1870 is 48.97½ hundredths per cent, and in the county 54.15 hundredths per cent, making a percentage of 517½ hundredths in favor of the county. The Steamship company's new wharf at Timms Point, San Pedro harbor, is completed, and the steamer Newport landed a cargo of material there last week for the warehouses. These warehouses will be completed in about a month and the company will then be prepared to ship grain to the best advantage. At the request of many persons in the Episcopal church here, Bishop Kip has appointed Rev. Mr. Emery rector, which position he has accepted temporarily. Mr. Emery's ability as a sermonizer and as a literary man is rapidly gaining him notoriety. He has already received calls elsewhere, and Anaheim may congratulate herself that she has succeeded in securing the ministerial services of such a promising pastor. Quite a large number of young folks gathered at the residence of Mrs. W. A. Morrison on Thursday evening to welcome to our midst Miss Carrie Pape of Portland, Oregon, who is visiting Miss Josie Finck. It was quite a surprise to the young lady, and that it was a genuine surprise we are assured, for thereby hangs a tale, which if we dared—but "not just yet awhile." The lateness of the hour at which they dispersed proved the enjoyment of the evening. The semi-annual statement of the Bank of Anaheim is published this morning. A comparison of this exhibit with the one made public six months ago shows gratifying progress. The item of deposits alone is $20,000 in excess of what was reported a half year ago. A young lady and gentleman of Anaheim had a narrow escape from drowning at the Landing a few days ago. The surf upset the small boat in which they were and it was only after great exertions on the part of the gentleman that he and his fair companion reach terra firma. H. R. Hanna, who for more than a year past has been a valued attache of the Gazette, leaves on Monday for Phoenix A. T., where he has secured a position in the store of Messrs. Hooper & Co. We hope the very best kind of luck will follow him wherever he goes. A very painful accident happened to Mr. Ance Gwin on last Friday afternoon. While working about a threshing machine his arm caught in the machinery and he sustained severe injuries. H. R.

The bee men of the foothills of Pasadena have been compelled to surround their hives with fences of barbed wire to keep off the bears which make frequent raids for honey. Thirteen boys and thirteen girls are employed at the Alden fruit dryer in Los Angeles, and the number will be increased to forty in a few days. The game law expires tomorrow, and quail may be legally shot on Monday. Quail are nice and tender now and have been for two weeks past. The S. P. R. R. is now eighteen miles beyond Benson and is steadily marching on. Only about seventy miles further are to be built before the track will be in New Mexico. Water troubles are again agitating the people of the Central California Colony. The Fresno Exposition says: The Colonists complain that their vines and trees are dying for want of water. Mr. L. N. Evans has gone on a trip to a locality about seventy miles north of Los Angeles. He will return in a few months. The assessor of San Bernardino county didn’t find a head of beef cattle in the county, and only one lamb. Ten children are being cared for at the Orphan’s home in Los Angeles. The institution is under the care of Mrs. W. J. A. Smith. This office is indebted to Mr. Marshal Haight for a fine lot of peaches of immense size. Mr. D. J. Savannah has been appointed deputy Town Marshal by Marshal Barham. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 3, 1905 Twenty merchants responded to the call for the formation of a retail dealers association at Armory hall on Friday evening and the propriety of organization was freely discussed. The meeting decided to form an association to be known as the Anaheim Retail Merchants association. The following directors were elected: Henry M. Adams, Charles G. McKinley, F. A. Backs, Sr., I. Asher and Fred Yungbluth. Mr. McKinley was chosen president, Mr. Adams, vice president, Fred Spencer, secretary, F. A. Backs, trasurer. Another meeting will be held at the same place tomorrow (Friday) evening, when a draft of by-laws will be submitted and other matters taken up and discussed. Dues of 50 cents per month will be imposed upon members and all retailers in town will be asked to join. The purpose of the association is to protect its members from unscrupulous persons who wax fat over the efforts of others. Those persons who fail to pay their bills will be denied credit by all members of the association and their names will be printed in black type by the newspapers. An enjoyable evening was participated in by those who attended the card party given by ladies of the Catholic church last Tuesday evening. The grand prize, awarded the winner of the highest number of games of whist in the tournament was captured by Jos. Baum. Mrs. Seamans won the first lady's prize. Miss Lucy Woelke, second, and Mrs. Herman Stock the consolation. Herman Backs carried off the first gentleman's prize, Joe Baum second and Peter Dauser the consolation. Refreshments were served and at a late hour the guests departed for their homes. A grading outfit with 100 head of mules was moved this week on the Edgerly place west of town, for work upon the electric roadbed. Another camp with 100 head of stock is in the neighborhood of Buena Park. The latest appliances are being used in grading the roadbed, each gang being good for from two to three miles per month. In some places the grade is seven feet high. GETTING READY FOR CONFERENCE South American Delegates to Pan-American Trade Meet Now En Route Many delegates to the Pan-American Reciprocal Trade Conference at Sacramento are now on the high seas bound for the sessions to be held August 25 to 30 inclusive. Because of the time required to make the trip from South America it has been necessary for some of those from the extreme Southern counties to make an early start to be in Los Angeles by August for the start of the state tour preceding the Conference. Those from Argentina and neighboring counties will arrive by way of New York. In that metropolis they will be greeted by Mayor "Jimmy" Walker and entertained by the New York Chamber of Commerce and other organizations. Those from Mexico and counties on the northwestern coast of South America will arrive via special train which will be made up in Mexico City with Los Angeles its destination. In Los Angeles preparations have been completed for receiving and registering the delegates preparatory to the state tour which will take them through the rich industrial and agricultural centers of the southern section of the state. During this tour they will be honored guests in many communities and given an opportunity to view the vast resources of California. Side trips to various localities in northern California will be made immediately following the sessions of the Conference.
