Terrific Storm.

STOCKTON, October 1.-There was a
terrific rain storm here last night, ac-
companied with thunder and light
ming. The lightning extended all
along the western horizon, and belch-
ing forth flashes of liquid fire, the
scene was indescribably grand from -
o'clock (midnight) until / A. NJ. Such
a heavy rain storm has not occurred
in this section before, in the month of
September, since the settlement of the
country, and all the old residents agree
in stating that such heavy thunder
and vivid sheet lightning had not
been witnessed before in this county.
The rain came down in torrents, leay-
Ing pools of water on the streets this
morning.
AT Modesto, in Stanislaus countv.
the lightning struck the spire of the
Campbellite church, and tore it down:
and so heavy was the rainfall at that
place that there was stream eight feet
wide flowing down the street in front
of the depot during the continuance of
the storm.
All the weather-prophets accept last
nights storm as an additional evidence
of a wet Winter.

Wilmington items.
From the Enterprise of October /,

From the Enterprise of October /.
We took a brief look through the
Cooperative warehouse this week, and
saw large quantity of grain both in
the sack and in bulk.
Our weather report is the worst we
have had in six months-one sand
storm and two days of wind. Other
wise it has been delightful, with some
gorgeous sunsets and beautiful nights.
Two schooners have been up to the
railroad wharf this week, laden with
railrad iron, machinery, etc. The
larger drew nine feet of water. So
soon as Gen. Boschke gives us fifteen
feet on the bar, which will be in about
six months, it will require but little
dredging here and there to make a
uniform depth of fifteen feet up to the
wharves.
A Chinese wash-house was burned
in Wilmington last Monday evening,
including Joss and lot of combusti-
bic trumpery that went like stubble.
The bucket brigade "fought noby."
and saved the adjoining buildings.
There were two Chinese women and
several men in the house, yet none of
them know how the fire started. We
were passing the building at the time,
and heard scream and saw a flash,
which leads us to believe that coal oil
had something to do with it.

Where He Stands.

We notice disposition on the part
of number of our cotemporaries-
and especially those who wore the
Central Pacific Railroad collar in the
days when Governor STANFORD was
in the habit of marking his newspaper
property-to classify Senator JONES,
of Nevada, with what is now termed
the great railroad monopolists. A late
number of the Sacramento Union con-
tains an editorial paragraph which
reads as follows:
The Stockton Cot- Catchert twits the Union on
having been deceived in Senator Jones of Ne
vada, who, in the CotC-C -Cdtchers bad English,
"has gone and did it," by an apparent alli-
ance with Sharon, Gorham & Co. II Jones
has really "did" this, then the COlC-CdtcheT'S
taunt has meaning, albeit low one. But
the C0lU- Catcher should know by this time that
newspapers cannot always be sure they nave
the right man. The Union does not pretend
to that GER ainty in selection. 1t has often
been disappointed. Some years ago, for cX.
ample, it helped to elect one n. NJ. Orr OF
Stockton, to the Senate, believing him to he
at least an honest fool, and was compelled
soon after to admit that it was only half right.
This seems to be sort blending of
the railroad with the mining powers.
1t will be difficult to show what COM
munity of interest exists between
GEO. G. GoRHAM and WILLIAM
SHARON. One is the reputed agent
and manager of the railroad and the
other is great mining king having
no business relations with or interest
in the Pacific Railroad. Senator
JONES is still further from the Central
Pacific combination for he is largely
interested in the construction of a
railroad-the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence-which, it is understood,
will compete with the railroads con-
trolled by Mr. STANFORD for the busi-
ness of large area of the State. 1t is
both untrue and unjust to class
JONES as a Central Pacific monopo-
list. He proposes to build his own
railroads.

More False Statements Reiuted.

Some one man has reached the con-
clusion that the article in yesterday
mornings paper relative to the Health
Officer was one man article. That
is just what we intended it should be
and we are pleased to know that one
man at least understood our motive.
The article was reply to an insidious
and unwarranted attack upon one
man. The HERALD has no more in
terest in Mr. BEAUDRY than it has in
any other good citizen, and Mr.. BEAU
DRY has no more influence over the
HERALD than any other one of its
thousands of friends and patrons. Mr..
BEAUDRY was made the object of a
personal attack on the ostensible
ground that as public official he had
spoken and voted wrong, but in reali-
ty with the expectation of making a
political point against him. He is
one of four members of the Council
who voted to vacate the Health Office.
Is any one so dull of comprehension
as to suppose that if Mr.. TIFFANY
the financial backbone of the Express
was not an announced candidate for
Mayor and Mr.. BEAUDRY a much
talked-of candidate for the same office.
the Express would have singled Mr..
BEAUDRY out as the object of it's vim
dlctive attack and left unmentioned
the three Councilmen who thought
and voted with him? The paper pub
fishing the assault to which we re-
sponded yesterday morning had
neither thought nor care for the
sanitary condition of the city when
1t sent forth its personal at
tack upon an estimable citi-
zen. Its vision was obscured to
everything except two figures =
BEAUDRY and TIFFANY. It's idea of
helping one was to attack the other
even to direct falsehood; for Mr..
BEAUDRY is charged with assisting In
the passage of the ordinance, when
any one disposed to keep truth on hi
side could have turned to the record
and found that he voted against the
iron-clad ordinance. Another thinly
veiled falsehood is found in the state
ment that Mr.. BEAuDRY carried a
motion declaring the Health Office va
cant. The record shows that he nell
ther made the motion nor seconded it.
Councilman GERKENs made the mo-
tion, and we believe it was seconded
by Councilman CHAvIs. The fact is,
and the entire misrepresentation tai
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-10-04

THE decision of the Supreme Court
on the Local Option law is not in ac-
cordance with the views of the San
Francisco Post, and the editor of that
paper proceeds to show the Supreme
Court Justices that they know next to
nothing about constitutional law
The comments of the Post cannot but
strike the general average with great
force, and We have no doubt the
Judges are sorry they ever said any,
thing on the subject. We had no idea
the Judges knew so little and one little
editor so much, until we read that ed
itorial decision. It's wonderful what
great ways small amount of
knowledge is made to go.

Anaheim Items.

From the Southern Californian OF Oct 8.
Track-laying on the Anaheim ex-
tension was commenced on Thursday.
The grading force are now between
Metcalf's and town.
Mrs. Cunze, daughter of Mr.. L..
Parker, was bitten by rattlesnake on
Thursday. She was promptly placed
under the influence of brandy, and al
though suffering much from the eff
fects of the bite, no serious conse-
quences are apprehended.
1t was rumored that the Southern
Pacific Railway was about to sink for
artesian water near the old adobe sta
ton on the San Joaquin. Mr.. Chas.
E. French of that Rancho informs US
that the rumor possibly originated
from the preparations now being
made by the San Joaquin Company,
to bore at that place.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-10-04

ent of the Express cannot hide or OBJ
literate it, Mr.. BEAUDRY is now, and
his record in the Council shows him
to have always been the advocate of
every reasonable measure for the i'm
provement of the sanitary condition
of the city. He is not, however, in
favor of the enforcement of a set of
resolutions so exacting and oppressive
in their nature that they demand the
immediate vaccination of every per-
son in the city, whether willing or
not; and it seems other Councilmen
have reached the same conclusion, as
some of those who aided to pass the
iron-clad ordinance were ready enough
to vote for vacation of the Health
Office, and thus render imperative
what they had assisted in setting IN
operation. They discovered that TO
carry out the thousand and one
schemes which that ordinance is in
tended to hatch, would cost the tax
payers of this city $4,000 or 500, 900.
We all know that the desired end may
be attained at much less expense.
Let us have a health ordinance and a
health officer, and let us place the city
in the best possible condition under
the circumstances. Let the officer
commence with the worst cases and
the most unhealthy localities, and let
him work steadily, faithfully and un-
derstandingly until he can report the
city in excellent sanitary condition.
These are Mr.. BEAUDRY'S views, and
they are the views of ninety-nine one
hundreds of our citizens. In conclus-
ion we will notify the EapreSS that its
attack on Mr.. BEAUDRY will not man.
ufacture votes for Mr.. TIFFANY. Its
statements are, as we have shown, a
tissue of bald Representations and
its purpose in making them is so pal
pable that it will deceive no one.

under which you might explode

New Style OF BANKING.

The Wilmington Enterprise has the
following on the style of banking fire.
quently INDUCED in by Mr.. Temple:
IA new style of banking has been in
augurated in Los Angeles. A poor
immigrant from Oregon halted in
front of Temple & Workman's bank,
in that city the other day and boldly
solicited the loan of $3.50. Mr.. Temple
asken him for his 'collateral,' when
he pointed to and old dilapidated
team, a wife and six children. This
was considered good, and the money
was loaned. That style of banking
may not always add to the Golfers here
below, but if Mr.. Il. wishes to lay up
his treasures above, out of the reach
of moths and thieves, he is on the
right track.

FOR ETC N.
Terrible Gunpowder Explosion.

LONDON, October 2.-The report of
the terrible gunpowder explosion
which occurred in Regents Canal this
morning was heard distance of 20
miles from where it occurred. The
firemen have been dragging the canal
all the morning. Up to this hour five
bodies of victims of the explosion have
been recovered. Lights on the rail-
way stations and other buildings two
miles away were extinguished by the
conclusion, and many had narrow es-
capes from death. "A number of ami
mails in the Geological Gardens were
killed: The quantity of powder ex-
ploded was four tons. The details of
the occurrence show that it's disastrous
effects were widespread. Many trees
were uprooted, and houses located two
miles from the canal were shattered.
Seven persons are yet missing. There
was perfect panic for hours, and it
was not until the cause of the terrific
report was learned that the fears of the
people were allayed. Several died
from fright.

Showing the Boys in Washoe How
..-1sU t- TO shoot.
from the Virginia Enterpriss.]


Recently, at saloon ON the Divide,
some men we're discussing the shooting
affray, which occurred during the morn
ing between the two brothers-in-law,
Fallman and Ward. 1t was agreed on
all hands that it was shocking bad
shooting-a discredit to Washoe. At
last Phoebe man bantered Comstock
man, whom he knew, to be a good shot
wita the pistol, to 60 out in the back
yard with him and do some shooting,
just to show the "boys" how it should
be done. In the saloon was box OF
eggs, and what the Piocher proposed
was that each shoot two eggs off the
bare head of the other at the distance
Of ten PAGES, the one missing to treat
the crowd The Comstocker was bound
not TO be bluffed by a man from the
other end of the State, so to the back
yard all hands adjourned. Each man
used his own six-shooter. The Com.
stocker first "busted" his egg on the
top of the Piocher's head, which ex-
plot was loudly applauded by all pres
sent. 1t was then the Piocher's turn to
shoot, and an egg was produced 70 be
placed upon the head of the Comstocker,
but when he removed his hat there was
a great laugh, for the top of his head
was as smooth as billiard-ball. Fol-
fully ten minutes all hands tried in vain
to make an egg stand on his head II
couldn't be done. The Piocher then
taunted the Comstocker with having
gone into the arrangement knowing
that he was safe. The latter told him
to set up his egg and it was all right
he was there. The Piocher went into
the saloon, and a moment after came
out with a small handful of -four, which
he dabbed upon the bald head of, the
Comstocker, and then triumphantly
planted in his egg, fell back ten steps
and then knocked it off. The Com
stocker then told him to set up his sec
ond egg and shoot at it, as he didn',
want to have his head chalked twice du
ring the game. This was done, ant
the wreck of second egg streamet
over the Comst stocker's pate. The Pho
cher now stood out with his last egg OF
bis head. The Comstocker raised hi
pistol and fired. The Piocher bounded
a yard into the air,and the egg bounced
whole from his head. "l've lost" :" sal,
the Comstocker. "Let's all come an,
take a drink. BY slip. I've put hal
the width of my bullet through tile to-
Of his left ear."' and so It proved upo
measurement
