On last Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the receipt of a telegram regarding the extension of the California Southern railroad down this way was made known to the townspeople and as many others as could be conveniently reached, and at half-past seven the same evening the Town Hall contained a larger audience than ever before gathered together in Anaheim to discuss any project of public welfare. In numbers, enthusiasm and harmony, the meeting was a surprise and a revelation, and was the best possible indication of the strong desire of our people not to be left "out in the cold" through any lukewarmness upon their part. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Keith, and Mr. Plez James, President of the Bank of Anaheim, was chosen Chairman and Mr. W. A. Witte, Secretary of the Immigration Association, was appointed Secretary. The gentleman who received the telegram which seemed to make the meeting necessary, was asked by the President to state the facts of the case, which he did at some length. The gist of his remarks was that there was a probability of the extension of the railroad down into this valley, and that some concerted action should be taken to prevail upon the officials to build upon a route that would directly benefit the town and its suburbs. Mr. H. C. Kellegg being called upon gave an interesting sketch of the topographical features of the country through which the proposed road would naturally pass, his conclusions being that if Los Angeles was the objective point of the road, it would almost as a matter of course be built to and through Anaheim. He was followed in a similar vein by Mr. S. B. Smith, whose general knowledge of the country led him to believe that, if the facts were properly represented, the building of the road to Anaheim would perforce follow. It having been said that a proposition had been made to the company to build their road along the foothills through Orange and Santa Ana and down to Newport, Mr. D. J. Sorgasen said that if the company desired to go to the ocean, the beach at Bolsa Chica should be commended to their attention. He said that a road through Anaheim to Bolsa Chica raised in the vicinity is especially interested in will, we hope, give the reader details of his visitation. The impression at Riverside would soon be consistent with that city, and the co-owner there two hours before to believe that the railroad complit.

Mr. Keith has superb Bell Flour apples at one cent per pound. A match game of baseball at the Landing on Sunday, between the Athletics of Los Angeles and the Westminster club, resulted in a victory for the first-named by a score of 22 to 12. During Fair week there will be a contest at Agricultural Park between the Athletics and the Orange club. Prof. Plummer, principal of the Anaheim public school, has ideas upon the subject of education which he is engrafting upon the system in vogue in the school as fast as practicable. One of his ideas is that corporal punishment is as unnecessary as it is degrading—that is, he thinks it unnecessary and we think it degrading. E.H. Preye died on Sunday, Sept. 20, at the residence of Mr. Henry Hetebrink, after a long and painful sickness from cancer of the stomach. He was an excellent man, and well thought of by his neighbors, who did all that was possible to alleviate his sufferings. His mother, sisters and brothers are in Germany, the only relative here being a nephew. In Los Angeles about two weeks ago Alfred Henry Benson, the little two-year-old nephew of Mrs. Hollenbeck, while playing with his twin sister, was injured by having his finger cut so badly that it had to be amputated. The little fellow suffered so much that he was brought to his aunt's residence, Boyle Heights, where he received the best of medical treatment. Monday night lookjaw set in and the little fellow soon breathed his last. Effective Church Work. For a couple of years or more there has been a large and continually increasing congregation at the Episcopal Church. In fact, if we may be allowed to use the expression, the sacred edifice actually swarmed with them and so devout were they that they lingered around the church long after the services were concluded. They possessed such zeal and fervor that it was actually unpleasant for a man, unaccustomed to their ways, to come in contact with them. Even as the Puritans of old carried their religious fervor to such lengths that they became an unbearable nuisance, so did the church attendants we write of carry their zeal to such heights. He was followed in a similar vein by Mr. S. B. Smith, whose general knowledge of the country led him to believe that, if the facts were properly represented, the building of the road to Anaheim would perform follow. It having been said that a proposition had been made to the company to build their road along the foothills through Orange and Santa Ana and down to Newport, Mr. D. J. Sorgham said that if the company desired to go to the ocean, the beach at Bolsa Chica should be commended to their attention. He said that a road through Anaheim to Bolsa Chica would pass through a rich and well developed country, and he called attention to the result of investigations made years ago when the Bolsa Chica Wharf and Forwarding Company, a corporation organized in Anaheim, endeavored to build a wharf at the point named. A wharf 1600 feet in length, running out to a depth of 22 feet of water at low tide, could be built for $42,000, and the roadstead would be as safe and convenient as half a dozen other important shipping points between San Pedro and San Francisco. The following preamble and resolutions were then introduced. Whereas, We, the citizens of Anaheim, in mass meeting assembled, recognizing the great aid in developing our section of country, and in fostering the industries already established, which a competing railroad would give, heroby declare our goodwill towards the proposed extension of the California Southern road, and pledge ourselves to do all in our power towards smoothing away all obstacles to its construction and to give it our heartiest patronage in the event of its being built to our town. Resolved That all legitimate means be used to prevail upon the officials of the California Southern to build their road through the district known as North Anaheim and through the town of Anaheim, and that the Chairman of this meeting appoint a committee of three to immediately interview the said officials and urge our wishes upon them. Resolved That it is the sense of this meeting that a right of way with depot grounds can be secured without cost to the railroad company, if a pledge is given that the road will be built on the route heretofore designated. At the suggestion of the introducer that a committee be appointed to consider the resolutions, the Chairman appointed Messrs. Melrose, Northam and L. Browning, and while those gentlemen retired for a short time the meeting was kept interested by several speeches on the main topic. The committee upon returning reported in favor of adopting the resolutions as read, and they were so adopted by a unanimous and vociferous "ays." After due deliberation the Chairman appointed as a committee, in accordance with the resolution, Messrs. Kenyon Cox, R. J. Northam and Richard Melrose, and it may be added that 'the meeting ratified the selection by liberal applause. After short and spirited remarks by Messrs. Knapp, Gardiner and others the meeting adjourned, to convene again whenever the committee had something favorable to report. The committee, accompanied by Mr. Plez James, went by team to Riverside on Wednesday. The long, weary and dusty drive but intensified their enthusiasm for the railroad project. It is a magnificent country for a railroad, but a very heavy one on teams and travelers. On arriving at circumstance controverts perstation that the region of down below.

It was a day all in all, we may never see So mote it be. The hot wave was a generosity from Siskiyou to San Diego. San Francisco. In the northern counties the heat shrivens and seriously injured them. From the Herald we get this ble of temperature: Los Angeles (Signal Service) "Railroad Depot. San Fernando. Colton, when last heard from Pomona. El Monte. Newhall. Tujunga." A Celestial Circumstance This is how it happened.

In fact, if we may be allowed to use the expression, the sacred edifice actually swarmed with them and so devout were they that they lingered around the church long after the services were concluded. They possessed such zeal and fervor that it was actually unpleasant for a man, unaccustomed to their ways, to come in contact with them. Even as the Puritans of old carried their religious fervor to such lengths that they became an unbearable nuisance, so did the church attendants we write of carry their zeal to such heights that their extermination was utterly resolved upon. Part of the roof was torn off to afford ingress to the Exterminator and an exit for the exterminated. The bees—we had forgotten hitherto to note that it was of bees of which we write—had possession of all that part of the church between the roof and the ceiling. During hot weather—and we candidly admit that we sometimes do have hot weather—the accumulated honey would become attenuated enough to work its way through cracks in the ceiling and fall with a dull, sickening thud upon a love of a bonnet, a dream of a dress or on some other article of apparel worn by the fair worshipers in the first story. Such little episodes served to ruffle the calm and contemplative condition of mind so essential to the strict observance of religious devotion; for we assert, without fear of contradiction, that there lives not upon the globe a woman who can calmly read the responses and devoutly follow the service with the full knowledge that at any moment a "gob" of strained honey may be precipitated upon her from above. It became, therefore, a double duty to rid the church of the invader, and Mr. Darracott, being appealed to, came all the way from Glendale to do battle with the bees. The result of the conflict was the extermination, root and branch, of ten swarms of bees and the capture of 150 pounds of alrained honey. While the voyageurs were in Riverside they were the recipients of marked courtesies from Mr. L. M. Holt, of the Press and Horticulturist, and his brother, Amon. Among the places visited was the new cannery and the dryer—a perfect hive of industry which gives employment to nearly 200 persons, and is a market for every pound of merchandise with the resolution. Messrs. Kenyon Cox, R. J. Northam and Richard Melrose, and it may be added that 'the meeting ratified the selection by liberal applause. After short and spirited remarks by Messra Knapp, Gardiner and others the meeting adjourned, to convene again whenever the committee had something favorable to report. The committee, accompanied by Mr. Plez James, went by team to Riverside on Wednesday. The long, weary and dusty drive but intensified their enthusiasm for the railroad project. It is a magnificent country for a railroad, but a very weary one on teams and travelers. On arriving at Riverside it was found that it would be necessary to proceed to San Bernardino, and thither the committee repaired on Thursday, and early on Friday morning they had an interview with Mr. Fred Perris, the locating engineer of the California Southern, and Mr. J. N. Victor, the Superintendent. These gentlemen were as frank in their statements and as liberal in their information as could be expected. They make no secret of the fact that the road will be completed to the Temeccal Wash by the 1st of next January. Beyond that point their plans are indefinite, and if the railroad is wanted in Anaheim the people must give to it every possible encouragement and aid. The committee will make a formal report on next Monday evening at a public meeting in the Town Hall. It is hoped that a full attendance of every one interested can be had, and that all who have any ideas on the subject will advance them. We violate no confidence in saying that there is no reason to feel discouraged at the railroad prospect. As the editor left for Riverside and only returned at a night, it is possible that the preacher Gazette is not as interesting wise would have been. Keiley has been rejected by players was detected in an attacking whereupon his opponents At this Sin Leo said that he grabbed at Ah Sam. Instantly tremendous uproar from a hurdle throats, and as the bronchial tube man are constructed on the same specifications as those which owe vote to make as much noise as be expected to make, the result be better imagined than described hit Ah Fat, who butted Ah stomach, who in falling pulled Ah Fun one top of him. So his friends rushed to the rear there was a confused pilot arms and legs belonging in parish Ah Mush, Ah Slash, Ah Sim, John, Ah Jim, Ah Bob, Ah B hundred others whose names time escaped our recollection fired during the melee, and w tending Chinaman were finally was found that Sin Lee was or bruised to quite an alarming numerous others bore evidence fiot. Sin Lee was promptly was arraigned in Justice Pier Monday on a charge of attendant Chin Choo by firing at him with The evidence was so contradictory case was dismissed. Sin Si rested on a charge of larceny, before Justice Fox, but that charge dismissed. And that's all they fruit raised in the vicinity. Mr. Cox, who is especially interested in such enterprise, will, we hope, give the readers of the Gazette the details of his visit to the establishment. The impression was general at Riverside that Anaheim would soon be connected by rail with that city, and the committee had not been there two hours before they were ready to believe that the railroad was unfit to accomplish. At San Bernardino they were received with open arms by the Messrs. E. & A. Dreyfus, with whom a very pleasant hour was spent. Mr. John Isaacs, of the Times, also placed them under obligations for courses. His complete printing establishment and comfortable editorial rooms were visited and admired even by those of the visitors who didn't know a nonparallel shooting stick from a pica pie. They also made a pleasant acquaintance with Mr. Merritt of the Index, the worthy contemporary of the Times. Take it all in all, the "visiting statesmen" had a most delightful trip, and managed to sandwich much pleasure among the serious business they were bent upon. Beating the Record. There is an axiom which assays have quoted for lo, these many years—Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. So evidently thought that mythical personage, the Clerk of the Weather, for on last Monday he fairly outdid himself and smashed the heated record into a cocked hat. It is on record that during the "hot spell" of last month the editorial thermometer rose steadily heavenward until it was lost to sight—and we here interject the remark that this circumstance controverts the popular superstition that the region of greatest heat is down below. The new thermometer which took the place of the one wafted away was viewed with great apprehension as the mercury rose steadily until 106 degrees was reached at 2 o'clock in the afternoon; and although the heat seemed to increase for a time, the indicator refused absolutely to go beyond that figure, and wearily receded to the nineties. Like the profane driver who saw his load roll down a hill, the top of which had only been reached by great effort, and who did not seek relief in cuss words because he could not do the subject justice. SCHOOL. En. GANETTE:—I ask the attention of parents to a few points connected with the examination, rank and promotion of pupils: As each teacher is accustomed to his or her own particular manner of conducting examinations and giving credits in the form of rank, it often becomes difficult for any one else to know the import of that rank. There is a strong inclination to please both pupils and parents, which of itself is proper. The manner of pleasing sometimes becomes very detrimental to the interest of the pupil and general good of the school. Examinations should test the pupil's knowledge; it may be merely a parrot-like recital of words or statements poorly committed. When a majority of the members of a class, taking a written test for promotion into the grammar grade, state that an interjection is a word that expresses a motion and gives as an illustration "birds fly," is it not quite time to ask what does a rank of 90 in language mean? I do not say that ranks made after that plan are intended falsehoods, but they certainly do give false impressions and are injurious as all misstatements are. The pertinent question is asked, "Why did not such a pupil receive a promotion; her rank was high? The answer is that the ranking system is very faulty. Some rank for relative work, some rank to encourage and please—but the effect is not pleasing when the thorough test is tried. A poor ranking system is bad, worse than none, but when the rank is uniformly given for true merit, then it will show to the parents what is being done and not flatter the pupils. Parents should know that 90 in one grade does not indicate as much absolute knowledge as 70 on the same subject in a higher grade. The pupil receiving 90 does better work in his class than the one receiving 70 does in his. The examinations for promotion have been quite trying to teachers as well as to pupils and parents, and the results were not quite satisfactory to either party. Parents and pupils were misled, as the rank given the pupils—by another—and my test rank will show: I take from the class four pupils and give their average rank for the term in three studies, and the test rank in same studies: We are using the "Discipline Card" which reads as follows: Parents are requested to note with the teachers in the promotion of their laborers. This card is given for some misdemeanor, into the circumstances of which the parent or guardian will please make inquiries, deal with the child as will be beat for his or her interest, sign the card and return it by the pupil at the beginning of the next half-day session. Pupils to whom this card has been given will not be received back into the school without it and the signature of parent or guardian. Five of these cards indicate sufficient cause for suspicion. We hope and believe that parents will assist in this work of discipline, and that the results will be gratifying. A. W. PLUMMER. Los Angeles Market.

The new thermometer which took the place of the one wafted away was viewed with great apprehension as the mercury rose steadily until 106 degrees was reached at 2 o'clock in the afternoon; and although the heat seemed to increase for a time, the indicator refused absolutely to go beyond that figure, and wearily receded to the nineties. Like the profane driver who saw his load roll down a hill, the top of which had only been reached by great effort, and who did not seek relief in cuss words because he could not do the subject justice, so our thermometer, realizing how fateful were all attempts to keep up with the heat, abandoned the effort at 106, and succumbed. More ambitious ones, however, recorded 103°, 110°, 113° and even 116° in various vicinities. Our usual cooling ocean breeze, which reaches town about noon every day, was on Monday anything but a comforter. Instead of cooling the atmosphere it heated it to an almost unbearable point until about 3 o'clock. The phenomenon of a current of heated air blowing from the ocean is explained by the fact that the scorching wind from the burning mountains to the north-east was met by the ocean breeze which beat it back again. It was a day which, take it all in all, we may never see the like again. So mote it be. The hot wave was a general one, reaching from Siskiyou to San Diego. It was 87° in San Francisco. In the northern grape-growing counties the heat shriveled the grapes and seriously injured them. From the Herald we get the following table of temperature: Deg.

In the pursuit of that happiness, which is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States and the ordinances of the Town of Anaheim, a number of Chinamen wiled away the weary hours of Sunday with games of tan or other gambling devices peculiar to Celestials. About 9 o'clock in the evening one of the players was detected in an attempt at cheating, whereupon his opponent remarked: At this Sin Leo said that he would be if he would stand it, and grabbed at Ah Sam. Instantly there was a tremendous uproar from a hundred Celestial thrones, and as the bronchial tubes of a Chinaman are constructed on the same plans and specifications as those which enables one coyote to make as much noise as a dozen could be expected to make, the resulting din can be better imagined than described. Ah Sin hit Ab Fat, who butted Ah Shoo in the stomach, who in falling pulled Ab Skin and does not indicate as much absolute knowledge as 70 on the same subject in a higher grade. The pupil receiving 90 does better work in his class than the one receiving 70 does in his. The examinations for promotion have been quite trying to teachers as well as to pupils and parents, and the results were not quite satisfactory to either party. Parents and pupils were misled, as the rank given the pupils—by another—and my test rank will show: I take from the class four pupils and give their average rank for the term in three studies, and the test rank in same studies: Is it any wonder that parents and pupils were disappointed?

He was taken to Santa Ana the same evening to have his wound dressed. We understand the doctor expressed the opinion that he will likely lose the use of his hand. W.J.Evans, of Garden Grove, while returning to his home on Wednesday, was attacked by a dog belonging to Mr.Martin of the same place. The dog attacked him on the public highway, biting him severely in the calf of the leg and laying bare the muscles. About the 10th of this month a fine horse valued at $200 was stolen from L.Moran at San Diego, and two mules from a man named Trinidad, at the same time and place by two Mexicans. Last Tuesday T.F.Botello, of this city, recovered the horse and last night getting trace of the mules accompanied by Deputy Sheriff C.F.Murphy, of San Diego, went to Spadra and recovered the two mules and captured one of the thieves named Juan Ramirez, who is an old offender and well known by Botello and other old officers of this city. The capture of the thief and the recovery of the mules was accomplished very adroitly by Botello, as he landed the prisoner in the county jail at 12:30 this morning, in about ten hours after they left the city. The accomplishment of Ramirez is well known and will probably be captured before long. Deputy Sheriff Murphy starts for San Diego with Ramirez today.-Los Angeles Herald- As the editor left for Riverside on Monday and only returned at a late hour last night, it is possible that the present name of the Gazette is not as interesting as it otherwise would have been. Keiley has been rejected by two governments. When the returns are all in, Keiley may be able to discount the man without a country and best him easily. BUSINESS AND PLEASURE. Kellogg Bros. keep the best brands of canned goods. A stranger who arrived in the small town of Gennalae, Tex., asked the clock of the hotel: "Can you tell me where the people of this town usually get shared?" "On the face, of course." "I mean at what place do they get shaved?" "At the barber shop, of course. Do you suppose they go to a tin shop or a law office to get shaved? Where do you come from, anyhow, stranger?" Fresh butter and eggs always on hand at Kellogg Bros.' A Michigan girl told her lover that she could never think of marrying a man with less than $10,000, and as he was worth a suit of clothes less than nothing, he went sadly away. That night his uncle died and left him $5,000. The next day the dejected lover got a letter; it read: "Desire George, I'm willing to make it $5,000." Clothing cheaper at Kellogg Bros.' than in Los Angeles. It took a thirteen-dollar cablegram to announce that the Emperor of Germany kissed the Emperor of Austria at a recent meeting, and yet nobody appears to take any more notice of the portentous event than though both eminent imbeciles had simultaneously slipped up on a watermelon rind. Celebrated Eola Tea at Kellogg Bros.' tf "Can you direct me to the Appolinaris spring?" inquired a lady at Saratoga. "The Appolinaris spring!" "Yes, my husband goes there every morning before breakfast, and I would like to see it." "H—m. You will find the Appolinaris spring. I think, in the basement of the States Hotel." 12 yds. dress goods for $1 at Kellogg Bros.' Three-card monte men have been operating in Paris, and the French Government has marked its hostility to American institutions by promptly running in all the manipulators of the pasteboards it could get its hands on. New carriages, good horses, nobby rigs, at Lewis's. It is understood that the officers of the Salvation Army are instructed not to read secular newspapers. It is just as well that they do not; they would be likely to read something sensible if they did, and it might unfit them for duty. A careful estimate of the relative cost of coal and wood shows the Wellington coal to be the cheapest. It will burn in any ordinary cook stove, giving asteady heat, and is much more convenient to use than wood-Gale will deliver Wellington coal in quantities to suit.
