LOCALS IN BRIEF. RICHLAND: — This is the name selected for the new town on the Shanklin tract in Yorba precinct. The projectors promise to push the town's prospects in a lively manner. TIED AND UNTIED: — From January to September 590 marriage licenses were issued by the County Clerk. During the same period 117 actions for divorce were filed, of which 21 were brought last month. BIG AGREGATE: — During the month of August there were 3318 real estate transfers filed in the County Recorder's office, of the aggregate value of $11,301,039. And yet it was a dull summer month. ENGAGED: — Formal announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Blanche, daughter of Capt. Healey, the well-known surveyor, to Brewer Cox, son of Kenyon Cox. The parties live at Long FURTHER REDUCTIONS: — It is stated on the authority of General Freight and Passenger Agent Wilkins, of the California Central, that a special commodity tariff was about to be issued to apply between Los Angeles and all stations of the California, having the effect of lowering freight tariffs between San Diego and Oceanside, Colton, Barstow and Los Angeles. Following in the wake of the low rates recently announced by the Southern Pacific, this action of the Santa Fe will be one of the greatest boons ever conferred upon Southern California. ENJOYABLE DANCE: — On Tuesday evening a social party was given at Kroeger's hall complimentary to Miss Grace Hauk and Miss Schluetter, two young ladies who have for some time been the guests respectively of Mrs. Koll and Mrs. Korn. To most excellent music furnished by Mrs. Schubert, Messra James, Bittner and Pullen, dancing was indulged in until about 1 o'clock, and an evening of most unalloyed enjoyment was had by the large number of ladies and gentlemen who were present. WATER DIRECTORS' MEETING: — At the meeting of the Directors of the Water Company on Saturday, J. E. Karnes tendered his resignation as Superintendent, and it was accepted. Zanjeros Knapke and Ford were notified that they have charge of their respective branches, and that they should run up the ditches as often as necessary to keep them in good running order. It was decided anonymously to grab out the reservoir preparatory to taking steps to begin work thereon. ELECTRIC LIGHT: — The Anaheim correspondent of life Express says: "Mr. Louis Schorn has been in correspondence with an electric light company with a view of bringing the electricity over wires from Burruel Point to light our town. If the project is found practicable and the expense not too great, it is probable the town trustees willANAHEIM WORK TO BE FEATURED General Manager by Expense The impression, ousely circulated by that the building railroad from Los Angeles either been abandoned rarily "laid on the committee to write some weeks ago, published in these chronics were no that General Manager view with Chicago most emphatically built as originally possible."

And yet it was a dull summer month. ENGAGED: — Formal announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Blanche, daughter of Capt. Healey, the well-known surveyor, to Brewer Cox, son of Kenyon Cox. The parties live at Long Beach. SHIPMENT OF BRICK: — Mr. F. Conrad has shipped a considerable quantity of brick from the Anaheim depot to San Pedro, where the material will be used in the erection of his new building. The brick are of good quality and were manufactured at Schindler's brick yard. BOOMING BUNG: — One day last week a workman in a St. Helena cellar was working at a bung of a wine cask to get it out, when it suddenly flow out, and after striking the man on the head and knocking him down, it sped on its way to the upper floor. It was a booming bung. VACATION ENDED: — The Anaheim Public School will reopen on Monday. Miss Mary Cowan has resigned as teacher, having accepted a position in the Los Angeles schools. This change was necessitated by the determination of her parents to remove to the city. Her position in the school is yet to be filled. GOOD LUCK TO HIM: — T. E. Rowan, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, has gone to Sacramento to endeavor to get this county's assessment reduced by the Board of Equalization! Everybody, whether they believe the assessment high or low, will wish the Supervisor good luck on his mission. Mr. Rowan's seductive tongue was never applied in a more popular cause. POMOLOGICAL FAIR: — The programme of the Fair to be held at Hazard's Pavilion, Los Angeles, from the 12th to the 17th inclusive is issued, and we see that Thursday the 15th is to be known as a day set apart especially for Anaheim, Downey, Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin and Westminster. The management request that the localities enumerated make an especial effort and to prepare a program for the day. INCREASED REDUCTION: — The recent change in fares by the Southern Pacific is a reduction which doesn't reduce, but on the contrary quite the reverse. They have stopped temporarily it is said, selling return tickets, and now passengers between Anaheim and Los Angeles, and vice versa, pay 85 cents each way, or an aggregate of ten cents more than before the reduction was made. Large bodies move slowly, but we suppose this incongruity will be rectified in time. OVERBUURDENED BRANCHES: — Our reporter was shown last week by Mr. Wehmeyer a run up the ditches as often as necessary to keep them in good running order. It was decided unanimously to grab out the reservoir preparatory to taking steps to begin work there. ELECTRIC LIGHT: — The Anaheim correspondent of life Express says: "Mr. Louis Schorn has been in correspondence with an electric light company with a view of bringing the electricity over wires from Burruel Point to light our town. If the project is found practicable and the expense not too great, it is probable the town trustees will erect one or more masts here to take the place of the present street lamps. Let us have the electric light by all means." CENTER STREET IMPROVED: — That portion of Center street between Olive and Orange streets has undergone a much-needed improvement. Two men with four horses and two scrapers have been engaged in filling in the south side of the street, bringing it to a level with the street car line. The improvement is appreciated by the traveling public and taxpayers. The north side of the street will probably be improved in a similar manner. INFLUX OF CHINESE: — A gang of some thirty Chinamen arrived in town on Monday evening to engage in work hereabouts. We were surprised on learning that they rode to town in the bus, for Chinamen generally "hoof it" from the depot. This is probably the first time that a business firm made anything out of Chinese immediately upon their arrival in Anaheim. The inability to secure white laborers in this vicinity has compelled contractors to employ Chinese. SERIOUSLY SCALLED: — Week before last Henry Albrecht was carrying a vessel of boiling hot water out of his house at night, and when outside in the darkness he stumbled and fell. The boiling water was precipitated on his foot, scaling him so seriously that he was obliged to procure the services of his physician, Dr. Bullard. The mishap was very painful and the flesh peeled from the scalded part, but he has now fairly recovered. LOSING ITS GRIEF: — The arrival of every train is daily bringing a considerable number of strangers to Anaheim. The controlling influence which the Los Angeles land sharks have for years past exercised over newcomers in attracting them to any place other than Anaheim is losing its grip, and the new settlers are coming to the valley whose advantages in every respect are second to none in the county. SCARCITY OF FUEL: — Oak wood is scarce again. It is sold at $12 per cord, and hard to get at that price. The Gazette has often suggested the planting of eucalyptus groves, and we learn that many land owners have planted their sandy and less valuable land to gum trees. There will be a time in this valley when an eucalyptus grove will be as valuable as an orange orchard or vineyard of equal acres in extent. We are pleased to advertise of Mine in other columns of dissolved his former self, and in a fine leather enumberer's store.

Large bodies move slowly, but we suppose this incongruity will be rectified in time. OVERBURDENED BRANCHES:—Our reporter was shown last week by Mr. Wehmeyer a walnut tree on his place on West street which was so overloaded with nuts that two branches forming a fork from the main trunk at a distance of about sixteen feet from the base of the tree had broken down under the heavy weight, splitting the fork and tearing through the main trunk vertically. The split in the trunk is at least two feet in length. THE TYROLEERS:—Capt. Dorney did not come down from Los Angeles on Monday evening as expected to drill the company, a telephone message having been received stating that he had missed the train. Sergeants Landell and Kuchel took charge of their squads and drilled them admirably, assisted by Lieut. Gade and Orderly Sergeant Bancroft. A regular meeting of the company will be held next Monday evening, at which all members are requested to be present. TO BE BOUNCED:—The Tribune says that Vice-President Smith, of the A., T. & S. F. Company, will be in this city on the 10th inst., and the air is full of rumors of important changes which will take place in the perecanel of the California Central in Southern California. Among other changes it is said that Supt. Victor of the California Southern will be relieved, and that both Mr. Gott and Mr. Wilkins will find their status materially changed. A number of new men will come in, also, and there will be some resignations and several promotions. PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN:—John P. St. John will speak under the auspices of the Southern California Prohibition Club, as follows; Los Angeles, Sept. 24th, Academy of Music; Riverside, Sept. 26th; San Diego, Sept. 30th and Oct. 1st; San Bernardino, Oct. 3d; Monrovia, Oct. 4th; Pasadena, Oct. 5th; Santa Barbara, Oct. 7th; Ventura, Oct. 8th, day meeting; Tulare, Oct. 12th. Mr. St. John writes to friends that he will arrive in Los Angeles between the 15th and 19th inst, SCARCITY OF FUEL:—Oak wood is scarce again.

There will be a time in this valley when an eucalyptus grove will be as valuable as an orange orchard or vineyard of equal acres in extent. MONDAY'S FANDANGO:—A large number of Anaheim's Spanish inhabitants attended a dance in a residence on Second South Street Monday evening in celebration of the marriage of a young couple. The room was not large enough to accommodate more than one third of the dancing party at a time. Good music was furnished on the occasion, and the party is said to have enjoyed themselves hugely. OLIVE HEIGHTS DANCE:—A social dance was given in Schneider's Hall at Olive Heights on last Friday evening. W. W. Weaver and E. A. White of Anaheim having furnished the music. They report that thirty-two couples participated in the dancing, and that a fine repast was prepared and served on the occasion in Schorn's new hotel. All had an enjoyable time. SUBPRISED THE PIONEERS:—During the "wee sum' hours" of Sunday morning a party of men and boys paid a visit to the homes of many of the pioneer winemakers of Anaheim, awakening the proprietors and surprising them with the nocturnal call. Hospitalitas were shown by the venerable vignerons and they treated the crowd in a lavish and jovial manner. The residence of Mrs. C. Hansen in North Anaheim last Saturday evening was the scene of a merry meeting of friends of Mr. Nicholas Clauson, who intends to take a trip to Germany. Dancing was the main feature of the occasion and a way up time was had. A dance was given at Henry Hatebrink's place in North Anaheim last night. It is needless to say that Henry saw that everybody had a good time. Prof. W. A. Packard and family will return to Anaheim about the 10th of October. They have had an enjoyable visit with "the old folks at home," but we have no doubt they are as glad to return here as their friends will be to welcome them. Mr. S. S. Federmann on Sunday, to be given return will be preceded by dry goods, which larger and more valuable importation.

General Manager Smith Emphatically Expresses Himself. The impression, insidiously and industriously circulated by foes at home and abroad, that the building of the California Central railroad from Los Angeles to Anaheim had either been abandoned or had been temporarily "laid on the table," led the railroad committee to write to Chief Engineer Perris some weeks ago, and his answer was duly published in these columns. And yet the chronicles were not satisfied, and a rumor that General Manager Smith had, in an interview with a Chicago reporter, said that the Anaheim road would not be built, reached the knowledge of Mr. Geo. H. Fullerton on Thursday of last week. He immediately telegraphed to Mr. Smith, asking whether such an interview had occurred and whether he had expressed himself as reported. Mr. Smith's answer was prompt and decisive. It was substantially this [we quote from memory:] "Never had interview with Chicago reporter, Deny, rumor most emphatically. Anaheim road will be built as originally planned and as soon as possible." This authoritative and emphatic declaration of intentions from headquarters should be guarantee enough, but if confirmation is needed it can be found on the utterance of Major Bondebrake, who is admitted to know the plans of the company and only speaks publicly of those things which are fixed facts. In an interview with an Express reporter Maj. Bondebrake said that the road to Anaheim would be built immediately. From other sources the Gazette learns that the large force now employed in graded PERSONAL. William Wolf returned on Sunday from his visit to Detroit, Mich. Mrs. W. N. Hardin and grandchildren have returned from the Landing. R. J. Northam left for San Francisco Saturday on a business trip. Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Knapp and Miss Prater returned on Monday from their vacation at the Landing. Billy Morrow has gone to the mountains on a rusticating trip. Mrs. Scott and family have returned from the Landing. Erwin Barr and family, Walter Crowther and Alex. Humblot are home again from the beach. Mrs. Weaver and family returned on Sunday from the Landing, and Mrs. Frank Ey and family on Monday. Mrs. A. Krug and her eldest daughter departed on Sunday for San Francisco on a few weeks' visit. H. C. Gade is nursing a cold in his throat. It must be pretty rough on him because he cannot talk in his accustomed loud tone of voice. Mrs. John Hunter, Mrs. Huntington and family, Mrs. Spoonable, Mrs. Heiman and family, Mrs. Knowlton and family, Mrs. Korn and daughter have returned from the Landing. Miss Lulu James went to Los Angeles yesterday to become a pupil of the Los Angeles College, constructed by Rev. D. W. Hanna, a brother of our former townsman, John Hanna. A Snide Boom. The more we hear of the northern boom, the more absurd it appears. It is a Peter Funk attempt to build something upon nothing; and deceives no one possessed of ordinary sagacity. An extract from a letter written by a prominent business man of San Francisco to Mr. Sheldon Littlefield of Anaheim dissects the situation so neatly that we are fain to print it: "The boom up here is a lively one and A GOOD START. ANAHEIM IS SOMEWHAT OF A TOWN ALREADY. A Few Public Institutions Enumerated. When you come to think of it, Anaheim is no slouch of a town, to use a vigorous Western phrase. It possesses everything which newer towns promise, and a great many things which old towns have never attained. For the information of the stranger we append a list of some of the most noteworthy institutions of Anaheim: Two hotels, and a third one now being built at a cost of $40,000. A street car line in hourly operation. One bank with deposits of over $100,000. One of the best public school buildings in county; four teachers employed. An Episcopal Church. A Prebysterian Church. A German Methodist Church. A German Evangelical Church. A Catholic Church. A Methodist Church to be built within the next few weeks, money and land having already been donated. A water system which furnishes the purest water under pressure for domestic use. Lodges of Masons, Old Fellows, Chosen Friends, A. O. United Workmen, Legion of Honor, Native Sons of the Golden West. A Post of the G. A.-R. and a local military company, The Tyroleers, recently organized, which has a membership of 90 at present. It is rather difficult to imagine what further is needed in a town so well supplied with everything required for the material religious and social welfare of its inhabitants. With a proper show of local pride and business vim this town can be made one This authoritative and emphatic declaration of intentions from headquarters should be guarantee enough, but if confirmation is needed it can be found in the utterance of Major Bondebrake, who is admitted to know the plans of the company and only speaks publicly of those things which are fixed facts. In an interview with an Express reporter Maj. Bondebrake said that the road to Anaheim would be built immediately. From other sources the Gazette learns that the large force now employed in grading to Oceanside will be transferred to the Anaheim line when Oceanside is reached—in a week or ten days at furthest. Work will begin simultaneously at Anaheim and Los Angeles, and there is every reason to believe that within sixty or ninety days the roadbed between the two cities will be graded. We are pleased to call attention to the advertisement of Mr. F. U. Schaumburger in other column of our issue to day. He has dissolved his former co-partnership, and is now in the real estate business, all by himself, and in a fine large office over Mr. Langenberger's store. Frank is a genial, good-hearted fellow, with a hearty smile and a pleasant word for everybody. Moreover, he is a rustler; is exceedingly well versed in business methods, and we can safely promise on his part straightforward, honest and prompt dealings with everyone who may be so forgiving as to put their property in his hands for sale. Together with the many and warm friends he has made during the fourteen years he has lived among us, we wish him abundant success. Boettcher & Schauman have remodeled Gade's old truck, and its bed has been overhaired with new woodwork. The old axles and iron work will be used again in its construction. When it is completed and painted, it will do service as heretofore in hauling anything from a box of soap to the biggest load of coal or iron—small boys not excepted. Ah Foo, the crazy Chinaman who was sent from Anaheim more than a year ago to the Stockton asylum, is back again. He ought to have been kept there, and it is probable that he will be sent to serve another term at that institution unless he behaves a little better. Mr. S. S. Federman left for San Francisco on Sunday, to be gone about ten days. His return will be preceded by a fine assortment of dry goods, which he promises will be larger and more varied, than any previous importation. "Fred's Place" is the legend displayed on a red cloth-covered case hanging on the wall above the bowling alley saloon. A lighted lamp is placed in the case at night, and the effect on the covering is beautiful. The marriage of Mr. Hugo Wetzel to Miss Clara Schaffer was solemnized at the Catholic church. A Spide Boom. The more we hear of the northern boom, the more absurd it appears. It is a Peter Funk attempt to build something upon nothing and deceives no one possessed of ordinary sagacity. An extract from a letter written by a prominent business man of San Francisco to Mr. Sheldon Littlefield of Anaheim dissects the situation so neatly that we are fain to print it. "The boom up here is a lively one and everybody is excited but I imagine the activity is of an ephemeral character and not based on any actual merit. So far as I can learn there is no actual increase in population, no new people in noticeable numbers purchasing property and nothing in the immediate future to warrant such remarkable increase in property, or activity and enhancement in values. It is a regular stock gamble here. The women and the servant girls put up their little ten per cent, and I suppose in a few months the cash will be absorbed and then the bubble will break. It is all speculation up this way. The sales are all local. There are no new operators in the field, no Eastern people to speak of. Of course there is a sprinkling of a new element, but nothing to render this class of purchasers conspicuous. In fact, it is all speculation and all passing from one resident owner to another; an artificial deal entirely. There is not certainly that element of prosperity nor that bright promise for the future that we find in your section of country." Result of a Quarrel. On Saturday evening an employer and his employee, whose names are withheld for the present, were sitting at the supper table together with the members of the family, and engaged in conversation which culminated in a fierce discussion over some matter and finally resulted in the employer taking a tea cup from the table and hurling it with force at his workman. The cup struck the latter on the right cheek and eye, and the unfortunate man fell from his chair to the floor and was struck several times by his opponent. Quarreling was resumed, and the workman finally left the house. He was confined to his room for two days, and the right side of his face was swollen badly together with being black-and-blue. Duped by a Supposed Mute. Some days ago a tall and lean individual appeared in town having in possession a pencil and slate, on which he wrote that he was deaf and dumb and almost destitute and handed the slate to passers by, who took compassion on the supposed afflicted man and rolled the shekels into his hand quite freely. He repeated his plea for aid during the day and in the evening got on a drunk. While in the ineptriated condition he talked est water under pressure for domestic use. Lodges of Masons, Old Fellows, Chosen Friends, A. O. United Workmen, Legion of Honor, Native Sons of the Golden West. A Post of the G. A.-R. and a local military company, The Tyroleers, recently organized, which has a membership of 90 at present. It is rather difficult to imagine what further is needed in a town so well supplied with everything required for the material religious and social welfare of its inhabitants. With a proper show of local pride and business vim this town can be made one of the briskest, as it is one of the prettiest in the State. Prof. A. J. Stamm, the well-known music teacher of this city, carries with him a trophy of which any man might well be proud. It is a medal, made of the French cannon captured on that occasion, and presented to Mr. Stamm for conspicuous bravery displayed on the battlefield of Sedan. The battle was fought on September 1, 1871, and yesterday being the anniversary of the fight a discussion of the affair accidentally led to the discovery that the medal was in the gentleman's possession. Prof. Stamm was one of the German squad who came out of the wood between the fire of the two armies and precipitated the celebrated retreat of the French down the hill of Sedan. The medal bears on one side the dates 1870-1871 and upon the reverse the inscription: "Honor to whom honor is due. God is with us. The victorious army." Upon the outer rim of the medal is engraved: "Out of the captured cannon." — L. A. Tribune. Prof. Stamm is one of the shareholders in the Anaheim Improvement Company, and co-owner with Messrs. Hamilton and Fanning in the Modjeska property. He is a strong believer in Anaheim's future. Wells, Fargo & Co. There are packages for the following persons in W., F. & Co's Express Office: M. Bustamante, D. Cahill, R. B. Tapia, Mrs. J. Hartung. Butter is retailed in the stores at present at 70 cents per roll and eggs at 35 cents per dozen. Lost: — In the neighborhood of Fullerton, a memorandum book containing papers of value only to the owner. Theinder will be rewarded by returning them to H. G. Weis. Lost: — Between Anaheim and the Landing, a parasol. Theinder will please return it to Mrs. N. H. Mitchell. BUSINESS BRIEFS. — List your property, both lots and acres, with Lyon & Ennis. They can sell it for you. — Buy your straw hats at Cahen's. — Anaheim ahead! Two new hotels! Now is the time to buy lots. Get them of Lyon & Ennis. — If you want a good pair of boots or shoes, go to H. Cahen. He keeps the best. — New fresh honey in the comb at Wallop's. — "The Model Grand" tho newest and best stove, at Beennerscheidt's. — Northam, Cahen & Nebelung keep Mr. S. S. Federman left for San Francisco on Sunday, to be gone about ten days. His return will be preceded by a fine assortment of dry goods, which he promises will be larger and more varied than any previous importation. "Fred's Place" is the legend displayed on a red cloth-covered case hanging on the wall above the bowling alley sahoon. A lighted lamp is placed in the case at night, and the effect on the covering is beautiful. The marriage of Mr. Hugo Wetzel to Miss Clara Schaffer was solemnized at the Catholic Church on Tuesday. The Gazette gives greeting to the young couple, and wishes them a long life of happiness. Mr. Morton having put up a windmill on his place, found it necessary to build a tank frame and erect a tank thereon. The work was then enclosed and it now has the appearance of a tank house. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Lewis died suddenly on Tuesday for noon of croup, after a very brief illness. The sympathy of the community is with the bereaved parents. J. F. Arroja has commenced shearing sheep on his range northeast of town. John Wagner also commenced shearing this week. It is said that this season's chip will be fair. W. W. Weaver has received the new drum which he sent for some time ago. He has been engaged as drummer for the military company. The drum is a "daisy." Henry Padderatz has put up a Cyclone windmill on Mr. Kroeger's place. These mills are growing in favor, and there is a good demand for them. Keith & Ruddock report the sale of Vineyard Lot C1, 14 acres, owned by Fred Hartung, to Chynoweth at als. of Pasadena for $8000. Mr. R. Luedke proposes to erect two cottages on his eligible lot on the corner of Broadway and Lemon street. A. E. Hendricks reports the following sale: R. Robinson to Clark Gilbert—20 acres near Garden Grove; $2250. The stairway in Banks Bros.' new brick building leading from the first to the second story is about completed. J. C. Pelton Jr., the architect, was in town yesterday on business connected with the construction of the new hotel. To BATHERS: H. Cahen has received a new and fine assortment of bathing suits. Duped by a Supposed Mute Some days ago a tall and lean individual appeared in town having in possession a pencil and slate, on which he wrote that he was deaf and dumb and almost destitute and handed the slate to passers by, who took compassion on the supposed afflicted man and rolled the shekels into his hand quite freely. He repeated his plea for aid during the day and in the evening got on a drunk. While in the mebriated condition he talked naturally, surprising the generous people who had endeavored to assist him in his supposed misfortunes. He left town early the following morning, and it is hoped that other towns will be on the lookout for him, There are quite a number of buildings in town that need painting. Lakewise, there are several carriages, and buggies which would look very much better if they were varnished. S. A. Dennis is the painter who will do the best job for the least money, and if those to whom this paragraph is directed consult their best interests, they will forthwith employ Dennis, Promptness and good workmanship are his specialties. Mr. Goldstein, of Dreyfus & Co., reports that an abundance of grapes are being offered. He purchased over 500 tons on Tuesday. The crushers are running on Riealing grapes principally at present. The following sales were made during the week by Frank Ey: Lots 5 and 6, in Wilkens tract, Anaheim, to R. Spoerl, $400; lot in Fullerton to Samson Edwards, $400. Fairview school will open on Monday, with F. S. Wallace as teacher. This is Mr. Wallace's fifth term in the school, which shows how well he is appreciated. Frank Schaumburger has put up a neat sign in front of his real estate office in the second story of Langenberger's store. Lieb has just had his billiard table repaired and covered with new cloth.
