California and the grape.
[San Francisco World. |
4. L u 4. 4.

lodH rrdnclscO W OrlO-
The present rush" to California is not
confined alone to those emigrating from
the older States of the Union, but there is
also goodly portion of French and Ger
mans. This latter fact naturally leads US
to some reflections on the subject of the
culture of the grape and the manufacture
of wine-an enterprise peculiarly adapted
to these strangers from the valleys OF the
Rhine. 1t seems as though the Creator
himself, when He piled up the mountains
and rolled out the plains and adapted so
admirably the capabilities of countries
each to the other, intended California for a
region rich in the produce of the vine; and
the most casual observer, by looking upon
the map Of The world, can see at a glance
that our very position on the face of the
globe is calculated to make US so. The
line which runs through the very southern
extremity of France is the dividing line be-
tween Oregon ard California, south of
which is territory extending six hundred
miles along a sea coast, back of which are
broad, extended plains and rich and fertile
valleys, the soil of which proves by expert
ment admirably adapted to the growth of
the grape. The parallel of forty degrees,
which passes through the lovely vine!ands
of Catalonia and Andalusia, touches the
Pacific coast on a line with the Shasta
pthbNN' hS -'ilAiiiilEi NCibtAalA AUS VI
Los Angeles lie in about the same latitude
with the Island Of Madeira, and the whole
of the territory embraced within the bord-
ers of the State of California lies south of
the most beautiful vine-growing regions of
Italy. Oar extreme north, near the Ore
gon line, where the mountains are covered
with perennial coat Of snow, but where
the warm sunshine falls on the plains and
penetrates the valleys, is in lower lati-
tude than the larger portion of the vine
growing regions of Europe. The expert
ments in the grape culture of California
have thus far given ample proof of the fact
that all the elements requisite to success in
it are contained within the soil and climate
of this lovely land. The great increase
from year to year in the production of
wine, and the favor with which it is being
received in all the Eastern markets, are
also undeniable proofs that California will
very soon eclipse all other counties as a
grape and wine producing locality.

A DECISION
Against a Liquor Seller-Held in sIO,-
900 Bonds for n New Trial.

RUTLAND, VT, Feb. ).
The supreme court for Rutland county
closed today and decision was given BY
Chief Justice Reyes in the famous O'Neil
liquor case, affirming the judgment of the
county court. John O'Neil was driven out
of this state by liqnor prosecutions. He
shipped liquors in jugs to Rutland by express
sc. o. d." As Rutland saloons were mostly
closed by active prosecutions he did thriv-
ing business. In Dec. 1882, Just before
Christmas, a large number of sealed jugs
were seized on the arrival of the train.
ONeil was afterwards captured in this state
and sentenced on 30l convictions for the sec
ond offence of selling liquor, TO fine of
S6l40 and costs, and two months imprison.
ment, with an alternate sentence of over so
wears in the house of correction. He appeal
ed and in an argument before the supreme
court of the county, January, 1884, the
judges stood tie, two against two; before
the general term another tie. three against
three. Since then Judge Redfed resigned
and Judge Walker succeeded him, so that
the tie was broken and result reached. The
decision holds that the sending of liquor
from New York to customers in Vermont. bv
express, &c. o. d." is in legal effect the
sale of that liquor, and that the express com.
pany is the agent of the seller and not the
purchaser in Vermont. O'Neil will take the
case to the U. s. supreme court on writ of
error, claiming that the decision is in con-
flict with the United States constitution, re-
lating to interstate commerce. This was
allowed and the bond fixed at $4,000.

HORRIBLE CRIME.
seven Men Badly Burned Through a
Fiend's vIllainy.

ST. LOUIS, FEB. 5.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Thursday night a
burst OF flames enveloping a shantv near the
raliroad track was discovered. Those who
ran to the spot heard the most heart-rendng
cries from the burning structure The door
was forced IN when two men staggered out,
their clothes all ablaze. Several other men
were dragged out unconscious and rolled
about on the snow. The faces of the victims
were blackened and long strips of burned
1esh peeled Oft, presenting horrible sight
Seven men were taken out of the building
and when they all got together in the depot
their moans and groans were pitiful to hear
1t seemed they had strolled in one by one TO
the shanty to warm up, and were sitting
around the stove talking when suddenly the
stove seemed to burst open and flames went
about the room, enveloping the men before
they could turn towards the door.
They could only beat about with their
hands and struggle with each other in an en-
deavor 20 get to the door. This impeded
their escape. They remembered very dis
tinctly that they smelt coal oil as the flames
burst out around them. The strange manner
in which the fire started can only be account
ed for on the ground that some one poured
oil down the chimney. 1t is said that the
man who did the deed is known, as he had a
grudge against one of the men and had threat
ened him. Near the ground was found tin
can that had held coal oil. All the men are
badly burned, but it is not known whether or
not fatally. The crime was committed at
the instigation of or by an unfriendly gang of
workmen.

TROUBLE SETTLED
Between the Spinner's Union and Man
ufacturers.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb 5.
There will be special general meeting of
the Mule Spinners Association Saturday
night to consider the wage system and decide
what action is to be taken in reference to the
answer of the manufacturers to the request
for an advance in wages. All the mills
have now returned to the committee of their
spinners the same answer, in accordance
with vote of the general meeting of the
manufacturers Wednesday, that general
advance of ten per cent in wages will be made
on the first of March. These committees
will make their several reports to the gen
eral meeting of the Union, Saturday night
That this report will be accepted there is now
little doubt, and thus all the danger of a
strike Is for the present,as least. averted. The
wage agitation will, however, continue, and
there is very general feeling among the
manufacturers that there will be trouble be-
fore many months. There are several rea-
sons for this. The operatives are in a man
ner encouraged by the decision of the manu-
facturers. Many of them believe that the
manufacturers granted the advance because
they feared strike. 1t is thought by many
that there will be an advance as soon the
maket shows further improvement.

GLOVE FIGHT.
A Desperately Fought Battle Between
Billy Frazier and Paddy Smith DE.
clared Draw.


BOsT IN, Feb 8.
The rooms of the Crib Club were tonight
the scene of desperately fought glove fight
between Paddy Smith of Brooklyn and Billy
Frazier, the well known teacher of sparring
at Harvard College. Councilman WIN.
Mahoney acted as referee. Danny Gill and
Arthur Miller seconded Smith and LeBlanche
and Johnny Murphy seconded Frazier.
Frazier had a slight advantage during the
first round, but this was overcome in the
second and give and take was the order, the
blows being thick and heavy. In the third
round both men appeared groggy, but pluck
lily continued the fight. In the fourth round
Smith got in terrific upper cut on Frazier's
Jaw. knocking him down. Frazier retaliated
in the fifth round, and with a swinging right
hand blow on Smiths face caused him to
measure his length. The sixth round dis
played some terrific work and the men liter
ally fought to a standstill. The referee de
clared the fight draw and a purse of S20C
will be divided between them.

OUR SHIPPING INTERESTS.
Principal Features of Mr.. Dingley's Bill
as it Passed the House.

The bill is considered very important one
to the shipping interests. The most impor.
tant section is the first one relating to fees.
1t abolishes from July |, 1886, the greater
portion of fees to customs officers and Gem
mission for tonnage, enrolment, oatbs, etc
This section will lift a large burden from
commerce. The provision of the bill for the
abolition of certain fees for services to ves-
sells does not disturb the compensation of
collectors and other officers of customs who
are paid in whole or in part by fees. and does
not in any mar ner change either the method
of a,certaining their present compensation or
the amount of it. The same provisions of
law and the same safeguards will continue
until Congress shall determine specifically
a stated compensation or salary IN each par
ticular case. All that is practically done in
this respect is 10 abolish these fees so far as
they are a charge upon vessels Of the United
States, and leave to the treasury department
the determination of the compensation OF
each officer so far as these fees affect il, as
now.
The second section provides that shipping
commissioners shall have authority, in case
thev are requested by a master Of vesse
engaged in the coastwise trade or in the trade
with the West Indies, Mexico, Central Amer
lea or British NORTH America, to ship seamer
in the same manner that they now ship sea
men on vessels engaged in other trades. Th'
shipping acr of 1872 excluded from its opera
ton vessels in trade with British North Amer
ica, the West Indies, Mexico and Centra
America; and, notwithstanding shipping
commissioners have, for convenience, beeI
accustomed to ship seamen for these traders
yet it 10 clearly without authority of law. Bu
the convenience of the transaction 10 so gres

ACTION FOR LIBEL.
A Police Justice Sues Minister fol
Alleged Slander.

CHICAGO, Ills, Feb. 5.
The daily press here is giving considerable
prominence to the action for libel commenced
by Police Justice Mech against Rev. Abbott
+. Kittredge. The action is based on the
declaration by Rev. Mr.. Kittredge in his
sermon last Sunday that many of the justices
were in league with criminals in the follow
ing language: Law breakers are only ar
rested to be set free at the salutation of some
alderman or in return for a handsome bribe,
AZ was true this past week when one justice
by the name of Mech discharge a company
of gamblers at the request of the latter,
changing the offence from gambling to dis
orderly conduct, asking only fine of one
dollar from each.
Interviews with a number of ministers of
this city are pointed, in which they all de-
clare that Mr. Kittredge is conscientious and
that he will undoubtedly be sustained by his
congregation and church people generally
until shown that he is wrong. number
unqualifiedly sustain him on the record of
the release of the gamblers in the manner
stated. Mr.. Mech declared that it IS per-
sonal matter with him and that he will pros
ecute the case to the end.
