AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTs.-The past sea
son, in most sections Of California, haying been
partially disasterous to the farming community,
the demand for harvesting machinery was limi-
ted. Those. however, of our large importing
houses which have connections In Oregon and
in the more favored sections Of the State,
were enabled to work off large proportion Of
the supply, which had becnimported IN antici-
patton of a favorable season. This great branch
of business has been gradually concentrating
into the hands of n few enterprisIng houses
which have gained control of the hest machin-
cry through their superior facilities for dis
tributing it. and the weaker houses bowling to
the inevitable doom of the vanquished. The
most remarkable instance of growth and
strength are the housesof Marcus &. Hawley {
Co., San Francisco, and Hawley, Dodd K Co,
Portland, Oregon. The success Of these estab
liShments has been truly remarkable and un-
precedented. Its business reaches from ocean
to ocean, its principal offices being in the city
Of New York, and having besides its large
branch houses in San Francisco and Sacra-
meDtn. connections in Connecticut, and two
houses in Oregon, the principal Of which Is the
establishment of Hawley, Dodd X Co., Port
land, and n branch house at Walla Walla- Du
ring the past year NJ c. Hawley 4 Co. have
erected and occupied the establishment corner
pointments, having been specially designed for
tn business, is the most complete and convent
ent on the coast, and is not excelled by any in
the land. The stores constituted in this build
ing extend 1871 feet in depth. The huge struc-
.fare covers a basement, which occupies the en-
tire ground, and in this immense store room is
kept the heavy hardware and the stock of g ex-
tras for machinery, from which the firm is al
ways enabled, without delay. to supply any
casting that may become lost or accidentally
broken.
The above article is copied from the S. F.
Commercial Herald. We have only to add that
the farmers of Walla Walla valley cannot do
better than transact their business with this
mammoth firm whose capital is unlimited and
whose facilities far surpass all others.-lED.

Malpractice Case-14 Years in the Peni.
tentiary.


New YORK. Dec. 13.-Dr. Bradford,
convicted of causing the death of Paralu
Victoria Connors by malpractice, was taken
to the court OF general sessions to-day for
sentence his counsel made public ap-
peal for new trial on legal points and on
the ground of newly discovered evidences.
DR., Bradford then addressed the court,p pro-
testing his innocence and narrating the
manner 10 which he discovered his new
evidence. He said: While in the Tombs
a young woman visited him, and remarked
she had some little things belonging to
'Vicky Connors,' He closely questioned
her and she admitted performing an ope-
ration on the girl" At this point the wo-
man arose in court and exclaimed: 1T is
all true: confess before God and Jesus
Christ that | am guilty aud that man is
innocent" The woman then made her
way to the side of Bradford and gave
the details of the crime. She
statedSthat it was only after continued
solicitations on the part of the girl that
she consented to perform the operation,
receiving therefor 500; frightened at the
consequences of the act she took the girl
to DR.. Bradford. After making her prom
ise not to tell! ands returning her $40, she
then left her in the doctors Office. The
woman subsequently, gave her name as
Madame Cherardi. Clairvoyant. OF los
Perrepoint street, Brooklyn. After brief
conversation between counsel, Judge
Sutherland addressed the woman: Il
think we have had enough of your story;
you have got through your part of the
play" The assistant district attorney
said: Haven't we had enough of this,
this man has added 70 his many infamies
by bringing this woman here to tell her
lies" and then be moved for sentence.
Judge Sutherland denied the motion for a
new trial but granted twenty days to pre-
pare exceptions. He then sentenced
Bradford, who again protested his limo
cence, to state prison for fourteen years
and six months
