schEELE MUST HANG.
George +. French of This City will BE
Free Next October.


Free Next October.
Jacob Scheele, the Bridgeport muir
derer, lost what was probably his last
chance to escape the rope, yesterday.
The board of pardons heard his case, at
their regular June meeting at the CAPT
tol, yesterday, but could find no reason
to interfere with the death sentence. by
which he Is doomed to hang on the 10th
of this month.
OF all the other prisoners who sought
relief from the board, George c. French
formerly of this city, and convicted of
murder in the second degree, was alone
successful in his plea. He will be a free
man next October.
The details of the case are briefly as
follows. A man named Andrews was
at work shingling a barn, and French
and companion named Whateley came
up and began to tease him. The me n
had been drinking. Andrews finally
came down from the roof and the men
began wrestling with each other. An
drews threw French twice. and then
wrestled with Whately. He finally
threw Whateley over a saw-hcrse that
stood near. Whateley called for help
and French rushed up, and, according
to the evidence, stabbed Andrews in the
abdomen with n penknife. The evidence
is con tiicting as to whether Andrews
struck French on the head with Il board
before or after the stabbing. Andrews
said before his death that he struck
French with Il board after French
stabbed him. French claims that An
drews struck him first. The jury stood
five for manslaughter, one for acquittal
and six for murder in the second degree,
but finally the manslaughter and ac-
quittal men came around to an agree
ment with the Others From all the evil
dence in the case, it appeared to the
board that the crime was one of man.
slaughter rather than murder in the
cecond degree. The men had been
drinking and their wrestling match
turned into u quarrel. There was no
evidence to show that French had pre-
meditated the crime, for lac had only
the small penknife with him, which.
however, did make fatal wound IN
this case. The board decided to change
the crime from murder in the second
degree to manslaughter. The maximum
sentence for manslaughter is ten years
in prison, and as Mr. French was senten-
ced in October. 1881. he will be free
man on the first of October next.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

The local physicians of Portland are

Smedick. ABOUT six weeks ago the skin
on the boys l"Ss began t. fake and peel
off. The doctors We're calle1 in an6 de

On May p, 1899, over two years ago
now, John Franklin, Il contractor, mys-
teriously disappeared from Coventry
and nothing has been heard from him
since until within the last few days. At
the time of his disappearance his friends
made a diligent search to find him, but
no trace was ever discovered and he
was finally given up for dead, After
all hopes of his being alive had been
abandoned, his estate was settled up
and paid 95 cents on the dollar. The
surprise of the community can be
imagined when Franklin put in an APP
pearance day or two ago and told his
story. He gives no reason for his sud
den departure, but he says he has been
working at his trade in Beloit. Wis.
ever since he left here. While in the
west he married Wisconsin girl. His
whereabouts was discovered, indeed.
through a letter written by her to a
friend in Coventry.
William PATTERSON was killed by the
Washington express yesterday morning
at Stamford, while walking on the
track. The engineer saw him and
whistled to give him warning but he
evidently became dazed for he did not
move from the track. His body was
struck by the train and thrown a dis
lance of 80 feet and horribly mangled.
He was about 40 years old and leaves a
wife and three children in Westnort.

THE BEAN COUNTRY.
VENTURA COUNTY THE SCENE OF
GREAT ACTIVITY.
Orchards Being Extensively Planted-Last
Years Bean Acreage to Be Doubled
This Season-Notes of improvements

EDITORS HERALD: 1t may not be un
interesting to your numerous readers tt
have word from this section in rela
tion to what has been done of late ant
what the prospects are for the coming
season.
ventura county, as you know, hal
never made much noise in the world
Her people seem to think that the pro
ducts which she ships into the markets
of the world speak more loudly thar
words can of her merits. And in 8
measure this is true. A thousand ca,
loads of beans and cargo afte,
cargo OF barley, besides ali
the fruit and fine stock
tells good tale. but yet it is the opin.
ion OF your correspondent that the
county is too slow in making her ad.
vantages known to the world.
So far, think she has taken no inter.
est in any of the schemes which Los
Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and other
counties have entered into to advertise
her merits and attract people hither.
Still with all this seeming indifference.
the county has steadily increased in
population, and it can be said with
truthfulness that it was never in so
thrifty and prosperous condition as at
the present time.
The Santa Clara valley, from Newhall
to Ventura, the Los Posas, the Simi
and OJai, are clothed in their most
beautiful garments of green, and in al
most every locality may be seen the
marks OF new improvements, new
houses and the planting of orchards.
There probably never was a season
when 30 many fruit trees were planted
as there has been during the past. It
is safe to say that thousands upon
thousands have been planted. A large
proportion OF these are prunes, especial
ly in the Ojai, in the vicinity of Nord.
hoff, and in and around Bardsdale and
Fillmore. Pears, apricots and apples
have been put out around Santa Paula.
while Saticoy has taken the palm in
planting walnuts. Thousands of acres
OF walnuts have been set here and in
the vicinity of New Jerusalem.
Several large orchards have been
planted on the Los Posas and in the
SINH and in and around Springville. In
fact, one finds them in nearly every Sec
ton OF the county.
Great prosperity is to be seen in the
Los Posas valley. Your correspondent
spent a day there mot long ago, and
found great many new farm houses
and fine large plowed fields ready for
beans, where two years ago nothing but
barley had ever been raised. The Santa
Clara del Norte ranch, which has here
tofore been used as sheep ranch, lis now
cut into small tracts and plowed prepa-
ratory to putting in. beans. There will
probably be more than double the acre
age of beans this year than there was
last. The yield per acre last season was
unusually small. Everybody claims the
winter and spring thus far has been ia
vorable for good crop this season. If
this prove to be as good as it now looks
the crop must be immense another fall.

ANOTHER STEAL STOPPED.
Some Features of the Recent Salary
Grab Bill.


Grab Bill.
When the county officers of the coun-
ty of Los Angeles held secret conclave
few months ago, and resolved to slip a
bill through the legislature materially
increasing the salary of their offices,
and also increasing that of their depu-
ties, there was one officer who stood out
pre-eminently above all the rest. 1t
was the county superintendent of
schools. In the general salary grab
which it was proposed to rush through
the legislature, the county superintend-
ent got in his work in great shape.
Under the provisions which he mapped
out to govern his Office regular bureau
would have been established. His
salary was sent up to the sky and he
was also given a first assistant,
a second assistant, a third assist
ant, stenographer, etc. But
all of this was cut down materially by
the law which finally did pass. The
taxpayers were informed by the HERALD
of the job which was being put up on
them to deplete the treasury in time to
defeat it's passage.
Each month in addition to the mu-
nifcent salary which he receives the
county superintendent has been putting
in fat bill to the board of supervisors
for travelling expenses.
To govern cases of this kind the last
legislature passed the following, which
goes into effect May 20, 1891:
Each county superintendent shall re-
ceive his actual and necessary travelling
expenses, said expenses to be allowed
by the board of supervisors, and to be
paid out OF the county general fund !;
provided, that this amount shall not
exceed $40 per district per annum.

AN OPEN CARD.

Los ANGELES, April 2, 1891.
To THE PUBLIC: Three years ago our
little boy, frankie, had the measles,
which nearly destroyed his eyes and left
them in such weak condition that he
has not been hardly able to see since,
until lately. He suffered from such
nervous adherence of light that he had
to be confined to dark room, and had
to have his eyes bandaged when he went
out. Having heard much of the skill of
DIR. Darrln at the Hotel Ramona, in this
city, consulted him and tried his treat
ment, which has successfully restored
his sight 30 that he is able now to see
for the first time and to attend school.
His teachers can testify to his improve
ment. 1 feel very grateful to the doctor
for what he has done, and I can be re-
ferred to for any particulars in regard to
his case. Mrs. j. A. DUNCAN,
