LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THEY DIVIDE THE WATER,

But in So Doing They Gobble Up the
Entire Stream.
It has been currently reported for several
days that the irrigation question, so far as
Haggin & Carr and Miller & Lux are con-
cerned, has been amicably settled. 1t is
said that the basis of agreement is as fol-
lows: Haggin & Carr to take two-thirds
of the water of Kern river, at or near the
town of Bakersfield. The remaining third
is also to be taken out of the stream by the
same parties and delivered to Miller d
Lux at point thirty miles distant. Hag-
gin & Carr, it is also understood, have
agreed TO surrender Kern and Buena Vista
Lakes, which will be used in the future as
storing reservoirs during the flood times,
for the exclusive benefit Of Miller & Lux
Cox 81 Clarke, of this city, have large in
terests in that section, and it is said they
are included with Miller & Lux in this
compromise. This would seem to be an
acquiescence on the part of Haggin & Carr
in the decision of the Supreme Court, re-
cognizing the right of riparian owners" re-
marked State official yesterday. =" The
Kern river is one of the most valuable irrf-
eating streams in the State, but if gobbled
up by those three firms, what is going to
become ofthe small farmer?p was asked by

ANXIOUS DEMOCRATS.
Who Are to be The Lucky Appointees OF
the Incoming Administration


Ever since the election there has been a
buzz all along the line of the Democracy as
to how the loaves and fishes of the incom-
ing Administration are to be distributed
All the Democratic deputies in the employ
of the State are pressing their civil serv-
ice' claims, and in one Office, that of the
State Controller, this will be observed.
There are several fat positions y in and
around the State Capitol, and the candi-
dates for those places are legion" Speak
ing on this subject the San Francisco Post
of last evening says;
Goye,nor-elect Bartlett will appoint his
brother, Columbus Bartlett. to be his
Private Secretary. Columbus is Repub.
lican, it is true, but Washington Bartlett is
a man who can rise superior to party
prejudice in such matters. After looking
around the State for an Executive Secre-
tary, Governor Bartlett failed to satisfy
himself and sent to New Orleans for his
nephew, Thomas Randolph, who will fill
the place now adorned by Harry Dam. A
few censorious Democrats are Directing to
the appointment of Brother Columbus,
because, they think, it is not right to
trust all the party secrets to Republican,
but then, as every one knows, politicians
are always jealous of successful
men. Isidore Danielwitz is to be Deputy
State Treasurer. He was once a member
of the School Board His appointment by
Treasurer Herold is something of an acct
cent. Harris H. Lowenthai, the lawyer
was consulted by Herold and advised the
appointment of Andrew Jackson Moulder
and Moulder was offered the place. but he
saw a chance TO become clerk to Mayor
Pond and gave up the Treasury business.
Then Mr.. Harris H. Lowenthal recon-
mended Danielwitz. Attorney General
Johnson is going to appoint his own son
as his chief assistant. Charles Weller
thought he was booked for the place, but
after he had got the Endorsement of nearly
all the prominent Democrats in the State,
Attorney Johnson blasted his hopes by an
nouncing that he would keep the place in
the family. Nobody knows who is going
to be State Printer, Adjutant-G General. Reg
istrar and fill the other big appointive
offices, because Governor Bartlett has not
made up his mind, though he promises to

Sorrow is not an accident, occurring now

has not discerned the divine sacredness of

is concealed in pain, has yet to learn what
life is. The cross. manifested as the neces-

snnnosed staae Robber Arrested

On Monday afternoon John Eitel in
formed acting Chief of Police Farren that
a man had left Sc ounces of very fine gold
evidently a gold bar divided into small
fragments-at his office to be assayed, and
that the party leaving it was to return at 8
p. NJ. for his report Mr.. Eitel was i'm
pressed with the belief that the gold was
stolen property, and Farren conceded in
the belief, and surmised that the bar was
the one taken when the Oroyllle and
Quincy stage was robbed by hlghWaymen
near Bidwell's Bar on the LIST inst. Ar
rangements were made to have officers on
hand when the person leaving the precious
metal should return, but at an earlier
hour than that designated Deputy Sheriff
Lee and officer Coffey took to the
station-house John Norton, proprietor of
a saloon on K street, and another man
who had accompanied him to Eitels,
and appeared TO have a proprietary
interest in the money. Norton stated that
a man who had been patronizing his saloon
offered to sell him the gold, and that ne
finally purchased ii for $3.50. Subsequently
he took it to the assay Office to ascertain
how much of bargain he had made, and
intended afterwards to send it to the mint.
The man who accompanied him declared
that he knew nothing about the gold, and
only went with Norton in friendly way.
1t is singular, however, that he gave the
assayist the same name as that borne by
the man who sold it to Norton. As soon
as the circumstances connected with the
presenting of the precious metal at Mr..
Eiters were known, detective Hume, of
Wells Fargo e. Co.'S force, who had been
working on the stage robbery case, was no
tilted. and came to the city. As he believed
the man who made the sale TO Norton was
still in the city, the REooRD-UNIoN. in
order to avoid defeating the ends of justice
by giving publicity to the matter, refrain ed
from publishing the facts yesterday. No
other arrests have yet been made, however,
and the supposed thief has doubtless left
town.

and In extracting the reptile, lump of flesh
was taken with it, when the young man bled

why could IT not be trusted to protect land
lords! In conclusion Chamberlain said be
was not irreconcidable opponent of Glad.
stones policy. If the land proposals should
be sufficiently modified he would be happy to
be relieved of duty of continuing his presen,
attitude of opposition.
Parnell;said; Not having had Chamber
laln's advantage of seat in the cabinet he
was not prepared to express a too confident
opinion upon the merits and dement's of the
scheme until he had seen the provisions of
the bill. Chamberlain had spoken in deserv-
edly complimentary terms of Dsvitt and ex-
pressed desire to know the latter's opinion
OF the land purchase bill. Parnell assured
Chamberlain that Davitt would not act from
motives of personal spite or jealousy, but
solely out of regard for Ireland, To the
speaker it appeared that the appointment of
a receiver general was unnecessary and
ABSURD because according to the premier's
statement, the receipts from customs and
excise duties IN Ireland will amount to within
t2o,ooo OF the total amount payable by Ire
land to the imperial exchequer.
At the close of Parnelrs speech Morley
announced that the bill would be in the mem.
ber's hand on Monday.
PERMISSION was given to introduce the bill
and the second reading was fixed for May l3.
Davltt says the only persons who will bene.
Mt by the scheme will be absentee landlords,
who will Jump at the opportunity to sell out.
Many radicals are pleased with the reduction
OF the sum and consider the security good
Others consider the amount extravagant and
predict that the bill will not pass in its pres
ent form.

eating the Death OF Alexander King.
BANGOR, April l6.

BANGOR, April l6.
About five months ago Alexander King, a
Scotchman, without known relatives, moved
to Bangor from Brewer. Soon after an in
surance policy of $4,000, in favor of DR..
Shepard OF Bangor, was taken out in the
Maine Benefit Association of Auburn. An
accident policy of $4,000, in favor of C. E.
Young. was taken in another company. At
this time King, although Incorporate and
dissolute, was physically perfect He worked
some at shoemaking, and lived alone. Five
weeks ago he died, it is said of dysentery,
and the body was buried. The companies
were not satisfied, and the body was after
wards taken up and dissected by Drs. Jones
and SWEET, with Drs. Robinson and Mason
present. AS the autopsy was not satisfactory
parts OF the internal organs and the brains
were sent to Prof. +. G. Robinson, State
Assayer, of Bowdoin College for analysis.
