DEB. ] I wrltu this letter on Senator Stan
ford's ' frimous North California ranch. I
have visited Palo Alto and the horse farm
near San Francisco , but they tire nothing
ns compared with this great cstato. The
Vina ranch lies In tlio heart of the Sacra-
tnonto valley. It Is about 200 miles north of
San IfYancIsco and It comprises miles of the
finest soil In California. It contains rnoro
than 09,000 ncrci and It has upon It tlio
biggest vineyard of the world. Its wine and
brandy production Is so trrcat that Undo
Sam has had to put up n bonded warohousn
upon it to collect his taxes , and this ware
house covers moro than two acres of space
In It today there is stored moro than $1,000-
000 worth of brandy , nnd before this Is sold
the United States government must receive
from It the enormous sum of Sf.00,000 In reve
nue taxes. The winery of this vast cstato Is
moro llko a Croat factory than n collection of
farm buildings. Its brick structures cover
acres , ana from where I write the great
vines cover the earth almost as far as I can
'bco. You can rldo for days over this ranch
and not see the half of Us wonders. On ono
part of It 80,000 sheep are nibbling nt the
twcot grass , nnd the lambs among these ,
which were born thli spring , number moro
than 7,000. In another place there Is a herd
of nearly 2,000 hogs , and It has dairies which
ro supplied by the finest of Holsteln
registered cattle , and the horse department
contains hundreds of valuable horses , some
of whlclkaro worth fortunes. In riding this
"morning with Captain Mclntyro , the mana
ger of the ranch , 1 happened to say some
thing about fruit trees , and ho told mo thorn
were thirty miles of such trees along the
Irrigating ditches , and ho said : "Wo have
lust put out a llttlo p.Uch of 0,000 trees this
iprlng , "
' "Six thousand trees ? " said I. "Do you
call that a little patch ? Most men would
consider It an Immense orchard. "
. ' 'Oh , " said ho , wo have Just planted 7,000
moro in the other part of the ranch and our
trult crop Is a very profitable ono. Wo had
last year over 11,000 tons of rrapes , ana It
takes nn army to pick the fruit. There nro
In round numbers about 3,000,000 grape vines
on the cstato , and when they are In full
bearing wo ought to have a product of about
10,000,000 , pounds per year. "
This estate is a part of the property which
Senator Stanford has presented to the Leland -
land Stanford , Jr. , university. It Is worth
millions and ho is spending a great deal of
money from his private fortune upon It and
thus Increasing Its value every year. Just
below hero is a ranch of 20,000 acres more ,
which Is also given to the university , and his
Palo Alto ranch , where the college Is lo
cated , contains 8,000 acres of valuable land.
i
Au Army of Workmen.
It take * an army of men to manage an es-
tnto like this , and on the Vina ranch alone
the employes range from 260 to 1,500 In num
ber. It cost last month more than $1,000 to
board the hands upon it , and the board bill
of the workmen often runs up to M,000 u
month. '
It Is Interesting to know how such a farm
Is handled. Everything is systematic and
businesslike. The ranch is divided up into
departments , each of which has its head ,
and thcso heads take care of the men under
them , nnd report daily to Captain Mclntyro.
The hands are parceled out just llko the
soldiers of nn army and the forces are put
whore they will do the most pood. There
are about 150 farm horses and a hko number
of mules almost constantly at work , and the
Irrigation departments alone require the
riding of Its foreman a distance of nearly
twenty-live miles every day. There are more
than 300 miles of irrigating canals on the
place nnd there are llf ty miles of such canals
through the vineyards alone. In addition tc
this number of work horses and mules are the
saddle horses of the foreman and the men ,
Mio carriage horses anil the high-bred horsci
which nro brought hero in hundreds from
Palo Alto , There is a horse department here
which has nn establishment almost as
largo as that of the Palo Alto ranch. It 1m ;
Its training school and its kindergarten foi
the colts , and it takes a number of grooms
und of skilled horsemen to manage them
During my visit to it today I s.iw some ol
the most famous of the senator's horsesam
took pictures of two whluh are to bo shipped
to the czar of Hussia in exchange for som <
Orloff stallions which the czar is going t <
send to Senator Stanford. In the horse do
partraont , as in every other , the work poe :
on by the clock and according to rule. Tin
horses are fed at 4 o'clock in the mornhif.
and the colts are worked o\ cry day. S ! >
quarts of oats a day Is considered onoi l :
for a horse , though the feed Is trraduatcd ac
cording to their work and strength. The
colts are put into the kindergarten for f.isl
training at six months. They are novel
bworn at nor whipped , and they nro as
frloudly'as dogs and as gentle as kittens.
Hniirillnir in C'llinpx.
Nearly all the employes on this cstato an
bachelors , They are divided up into camp ;
and the buildings of one of the chief camp
cover about two acres and can nccominodati
COO men. The vineyard camp contans a col
ony of about seventy Frenchmen , who manage
ago their own board and \\lio receive si
much wages and an allowance ! for eating
They do their own cooking and llko wun
with their meals. Thov use about 000 gnl
Inns a month and pro for red wine , whicl
thov mix with water. Hero and there ac.il
tcrcd over the estate are other camps , th
most of which are furnished with Chines
cooks by the manager , and where they llv
and board nt the expense of the farm. The ,
havn comfortable rooms ami good food an
their wages run from $1 a day and board n |
ward. The foremen receive from $35 to si
a month. The superintendents pot § T5 ;
month and some of the skilled men mud
larger salaries , The pay roll of this rancl
runs from f 10,000 to . ' 0,01)0 ) a month , und th
rules nro Industry , obedience and tompoi
anco. A few Chinamen nro employed upo
the place , but the majority of the hands ar
Americans.
.Millions In Ilnuuly.
I spent Homo time In going through th
winery and the brandy vaults. Kverythin
is managed in the most economical and moa
sclentllli ! way. nnd the senator Is" trilng t
prove that California will produce tlio hes
brandy in the world , llelmsoponed a wurt
House In the east and ho ships his wines an
brandies away by the oar loads. During th
month prior to my visit ho bent away 120
000 gallons of brandy , and ho believes thu
this part of California Is better adapted I
the making of brandy than of wine , Ca ]
tain Mclntyro tells me that the secret c
making good hranjy is to takeout tlio fusi
ells , but to leave the essential oils nnd pan
necessary to be oxlUUcd to make It ajj
prouerly , nnd thu machinery here is udaptv
to that purpose , I wish I could describe 1
1 walked in and out among great Hogshead ,
each of which would hold as much ns 25,01
trillions , und I saw vats In which 10,000 an
12,000 were stored , In one room the brauil
* ias run through cell after cell of pipes , un
in another 1 found that it was vaporize
again and again , each time losing some of ii
fusel oils , fcjoven great vats holding a,0l
gallons of brandy are used for this purpjb
and outside the winery I saw hundreds <
great barrels connected with pipes liu
which the wlnoand Drandyns run during
part of the procost.es. Tliu cost of the bulli
ings of tills brandy factory U more tlui
$150,000 , nnd tho.v are lighted by electrlcit ,
The cooper shop of this establishment
worth notice. The cooperage nnd the sto
ago vaults alone will hold 1,500,000of gallon
und the casks of these vaults nro so tall tin
If Benjamin Harrison could stand on Grovi
Cleveland's head ho could not moro thr
roach to the top of them. In the fermcntli
room there are barrel * which hold 8COU
callous , and In the bonded warehouse nro
barrels 9ont lining more linn half n million
gallons , The hranoy In the bonded ware
house is guarded night and day by United
States ifovoninient officers. A government
ganger Is hero most of the time , and there is
n government ofllcor always In charge of it.
When any of this brandy is tikcn out for
sale the money for the tax has to bo put
tlown before it can be gotten , It is Hko the
buying of postage stamps. There Is no
credit to the United States , and you have to
pay cash. During the last month ? 17,8J was
given to the government for taxes , nnd some
thing llko $100,000 worth of taxes have , I am
told , been paid for brandy which Is still un
shipped , nnd In addition to this , ns I have
said before , Mr. Morsetbogovernmentstoro-
keeper , tells mo there Is duo Uncle Sam nt
least * . "it,000 ) worth of brandy tax. The
owners of the brandy have n rlnht to leave
It In the warehouse from three to flvo years ,
but they nro not allowed to move n barrel
until the tux Is paid. This bonded warehouse
Is said to bo the largest In the world. It Is
lighted by electricity , and in walking through
It between the thousands of barrels you
seem to bo In the very catacombs of barrels.
How the Vinearil I * Mimnitoilt
This big vlnoynid embraces about six
square miles of territory. The whole Is laid
olt with perfect regularity Into blocks of
uniform size and strootsof regular width. It
Is In fact a city of grapes , linch block con
tains about 1,100 vines , and the main streets
which run through them from cast to west
are forty-eight feet wide nnd they are cut
up by avenues sixteen feet In width. There
are about C30 vines to the acre , and I was
surprised to find that the vines worotrimmoa
down almost close to the earth every year.
Some of the vines nro very old nnd others
have just been planted. The grapes are rlpo
about the last of July and the picking of the
grapes begins about the 1st of August. They
are picked In boxes holding fifty pounds
each , and there are 12,000 of these boxes
ready for use. The picking Is elono by gangs
of men and boys , and nt Its height about
1,000 men are employed. The vineyards are
iilowed regularly and their cultivation Is
carefully watched with hoe and harrow.
'Jnptnln Mclntyro has been for years on-
paired In vine growing and everything is
managed on a sclcntlllc basis , Kvcn in the
jiickliig of the grapes the greatest care is
used. The grapes are sorted ns they are
ticked. The men gather the grapes In pairs ,
jacli man carrying a box. As they go from
vine to vine they uut the bad grapes In ono
box and thu host ones In the other , and these
are used for dlftoreut grades of wino or
brandy. Thu picking always begins early in
the day , and if the weather Is very hot it is
suspended and resumed only late In the
afternoon and carried on into the night , so
that the pickers work the usual number of
hours. A good picker ought to average forty
boxes or a ton of grapes a day , nnd some
men can pick as much as a ton nnd a half.
I'oml Dii a Cnllfornlu Turin ,
It may Interest you to know what men cat
in ono of these big farm boarding houses.
The cooks have to make out orders for just
what they want and every item has to bo
specified. From a monthly order before mo
1 see that they consumed last mouth three
barrels of sugar , ono barrel of rolled oats ,
and largo quantities of cornstarch , maca
roni , beans , peas , sausage , rice , sago , tea
nnd coffno and meat. Nearly all the meat
and vegetables come from the farm , and all
of the butter and milk. The men have their
breakfasts at H a. m.t and are allowed forty
minutes to cat. At 0 they go out to work
with their teams and at 11:80 : they stop for
dinner and lay oft until a quarter of 1. Tho.v
stop work at 0 and have supper at 7. As far
as I could see they seemed to enjoy them
selves and to bo of
a sort happy-go-lucky
crowd. They have a base ball club of their
own , and there is a dancing club which they
keep up. Some of them are good boxers ,
but they neatly all belong to that class of
workmen which you find in California , who
drift along from place to place , working all
along the coast from Los Angeles to Seattle
and not seeming to care for a homo of their
own.
A Look nt the Horses.
I spent some tlmo in looking at the fine
horses on this ranch. There are 333 which
were brought hero in special cars from the
Palo Alto ranch , ai'd there is a race track
hereof a nulo in length for the training ol
them. The kindergarten is a llttlo pen con
taining a circular track , perhaps a quarter oJ
a milo in length , and the trainer stands iu
the center of this with a whip and cracks
this at the colts as they run about it. Scna <
tor Stanford told mo ono day his theory as
to this mode of training. Said he :
"I believe there are certain muscles which
the horse uses while he Is going fast that are
never called into play when ho is making his
ordinary gait. Tlio horse which is novel
speeded docs not call into play these mus
cles. He may have the germ of them , but
they lay dormant and flabby. I believe h.y
the cultivation of these muscles by speeding
the colts that they grow and become
stronger from year to year and the colt thus
acquires his perfection. The chief thing late
to prevent them overdoing. You can ruin
the training of years in an hour , and the
greatest trouble is in getting good trainers ,
My idea is to excite the colts to do their besl
without over exertion , and this done from
day to day with any of the great horses oi
the day taken when they wore young would
have , I believe , made them to do bcttci
work than they are now doing. "
I am told here at Vina that the czar ha ;
offered to send Senator Stanford any tiling
ho wants iu his b tables in return for a couple
of good horses from Palo Alto for brecditif
purposes. It is not known positively whin
horses will bo sent to Uusaia. but the train
ers here think that among those picked ou
will bo the stallion Good Gift. Good Gift i ;
by Electioneer out of a thoroughbred mare
Ho has a good record and is beautifully
formed. Senator Stanford thinks that the
Orloff breed would , if It could be introduced
into this country , become a very populm
couch horse for the rich people of our cities
The Orloff horses are largo and showy. The
most of them nro black. They possess greal
endurance and are noted for their line actioi
and their high spirit. They make goot
time and they would bring big prices in tin
United States. The senator has two mag
nlllccnt coach horses at Washington whicl
are as black us jot , and which are made vcrj
much after the istylo of the OrlolTs. I di
not know as to their breed , but they are OIK
of the most valuable coach teams In tin
United btates. Senator Stanford behove
that no greater thing can bo done for tin
farming Interests of the United States thai
in the improvement of the breed of ou
horses. He once told mo that he though
the kind of horses ho Is raising hero woult
make far superior farm horses to the heavlo
variutv.'such as the Normans and Perehci
ens , He thinks they have more endurance
cost loss to keep and that they will do mor
work In a given time than the houvlct' vurl
otv. His horses hero ns well ns at Palo Alt
will bo given to the university estate if h
should die , and it is , I think , his idea Urn
his breeding establishment will bo contir
ucd. His horses , I am told , are n paying In
vestment , and of a hundred colts which h
has every year it is rare to find ono wlilci
will not bring $500 at birth.

Last week THE TJr.r. chronicled the Joath
of Mr. Casluor Hanway tit Wllbor , Nob. ,
May 20 , llrlet rcjforcnco was mudo to a
highly interesting episode hi Mr. Hnnwuy's
life. For n year ho had the distinction of
being the only man living who had over been
trlod for treason against the United States.
The charge arose out ol his connection with
what Is known as the Christiana tragedy ,
which occurred In Lancaster county , Penn
sylvania , on September 11 , 1851. The trial
opened on November 30 of the same year In
the United States circuit court at Philadel
phia , and , nttor lasting for seventeen , days ,
ended In a verdict of acquittal.
Brlolly stated the story Is as follows : At
lat time , which was in the old slavery days
en years before the war , Mr , Hanway was a
iilller In Lancaster county , Pennsylvania ,
, nd then about 'M years old. Ho had uecn
x > rii and reared a Quaker. Ho was an up-
Iglit man of generous Impulses whoso fool-
ngs rebelled against the injustice of slavery ,
o , llko many others of his peculiar faith , ho
vas an ardent abolitionist. Ho used fro-
; uently to assist fugitive negroes In their
odious journeys toward the Canadian
'tic , and It vvas often that ho had from ono
3 llvo ofr the hunted creatures seeking
ofugo at his place. On one occasion ho had
s many as cloven. In fact ho was the
iwner of ono of the most celebrated "under-
round railroads" In that part of the count -
The lUnoilliouiul
t
There existed In that community a gang of
cartless men who made It a business to kid-
ap both fugitive and free negroes nnd spirit
.hem . over the Maryland line , when they
ivcro dlsi > osed of to regular slave dealers.
"his was known as the "Bloodhound Gang. "
; 'his gang worked so industriously and made
iO many raids that the negroes and their
white sympathisers wore in an almost cou-
tant state of alarm.
The recognized leader of the ne
groes was a man of their own race
lutned William Parker , himself a fugitive.
le is described as having been u man of
lonsidcrablo Intelligence and possessed of
great physical courage. Ho was much re
jected by the whites aim bitterly hated by
ho gang , against whom ho was fearless and
lutspoken in his defiance. They determined
o got him out of their way and not daring
to try their usual method of kidnapping
with him they concocted a scheme to com
pass his overthrow through legal means.
The Midnight Attnck.
In pursuance of their plan Parker's former
wner , whoso name was Edward Gorsuch ,
: iis son and a ncpr.ow. ono Dr. Price , went
from Maryland to iPhlludelphia , where Gor
such obtained the appointment of Henry II.
Kline as deputy United States marshal for
the special business they had in hand. Kline
ivas described by Mr. Hanway as a worth
less character , and Price's subsequent
notions showed that ho was something of a
cowar I. The party , nil heavily armed , then
started for Lancaster county and arrived at
Parker's house at Christiana just bcforo
daybreak on the morning of September 11 ,
1851. Kline , the deputy marshal , pounded
on the door and demanded In the name of
the United States the surrender of Parker
and such other fugitives there might bo in
the place. There was no response to the
summons , whereupon the door was again
battered and a louder demand made for sur
render. Parker then told those on the in
side that ho would never plvo himself up ,
and told his wife to blow the tin horn from
the chamber window that had been agreed
upon as a signal in time of trouble.
Iu a very brief time nearly all
the negroes in the neighbor
hood were on the spot , a few of them armed
with guns and pistols , but most of them car
rying corn knives and otnor farm imple
ments that could bo used as weapons.
Hun way's Nerve.
Mr. Hanway was quietly eating his break
fast at his homo a milo away when : l neigh
bor , named Lewis , hastily entered and told
him that there was some trouble down at
Parker's. Mr. Hanway at once mounted his
horse and started for the place , Lewis fol
lowing on foot. On reaching the spot Mr.
Hanway at once saw that tno situation was
critical , as the negroes were very much ex
cited and disposed to resent any assault upon
their leader. On the approach of Hanway
and Lewis , Kline at once announced that ho
was a deputy United States marshal , and
ordered them to assist in subduing the
negroes , which 1'oth roiusod to do , and tried
to persuade Kline to desist from interfering
with the blacks In their excited condition ,
but Kline would listen to nothing and again
ordered Hanway and Lewis to assist him ,
which they again refused to , do. A collision
between the two parties at this time was
only prevented by Mr. Hanway stopping be
tween them and quieting the now
Infuriated negroes. Hanway then
started for homo , taking along Dr.
Price , against whom tlio negroes were
particularly bitter , Mr , Hanway being de
termined , as ho said , lo have no hand in any
thing in opposition to United States au
thority.
A Illooily ICIoti
They had not proceeded far , and were
within hearing of the firing , when a riot
occurred in which Gorsuch was killed and
his son seriously \\oundod. On reaching
homo , after seeing Price in a place of safety ,
Hanway sent his wife with lint and lini
ments to hulp in caring for the wounded.
Hearing the next day that the authorities
were arresting all parties known to have
any connection with the affair. Hanway
went to Lancaster und gave himself up ,
offering to give bail , which was
refused , and ho anil Lewis wore
sent to the county jail , but as the
sheriff was a personal friend their coiv
finenient was merely nominal. .About n
couple of weeks afterwards they were iiv
dieted by the grand jury ou tho'churgo of high
trcusonand taken to Moyamenslng prison ,
whore they were confined In company with
James Scarllet and thirty-live negroes until
the HOth. of November 1851. when the trial
of Mr. Hahway opened in the United States
circuit court at Philadelphia , before Judges
Grlcrand Kane. The famousThad , Stephens
was the leading counsel for defense and was
assisted by Thomas Keller and John Head
the latter afterwards chief just ice ol
Pennsylvania , Judge Cooper and others
conducted the prosecution ,
Ilinnvrty Win Acquitted.
, The trial lasted for seventeen days nnc
was lull of interest. The jury remained oul
but a tow minutes , and returned with a ver
dict of not guilty. All the other parties
were eventually discharged ,
Mr. Hanwuy was the last survivor of all
the persons connected with the tragedy und
the trial , all the others having passed to ; :
higher court bi'foro him , lie was a gentle
man' of distinguished appearance , more
than six feet tall , with snow whlti
hair and flowing beard. Kathor spare ii
figure and calm and affable in manner. H <
came to Wither in 1878 , for the benefit of his
health , which was much improved by the
change of climate , and has been living here
in quiet and comfort ever since. To manj
of his neighbors this story , which is com
piled principally from his own statement !
made some years ago , will be the first lull
niailon that the quiet gentleman they sc
well know over took part in such oxcltlnt
scenes over forty years ago us these hen
recorded.
Mr. Hanway was ono of the most dls
tlngulshcd Masons in the United States , lit
being .a member of the Pittsburg Valley
Pennsylvania , consistory , thirty-sccoiu
degree , Ho was also nn honorary membei
of every Mtisonlo lodge in Pennsylvania
He was highly respected wherever known
It was only rarely that ho could bo Inducei
to talk about the most Interesting export
cnces of his life , and when they were re
ferred to hU manner , though extreme ! ;
modest , gave the Inference that ho wa
rathur proud of them than otherwise.
