THE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Heavy Rains Cause a Flood. The Water Inundates the Southeastern Portion of Town - Railroad Track Considerably Damaged - School Exhibition - That Vexed Demurrier - Tax Payments in the Irrigation District - Narrow Escape from Drowning - Meal Estate Sales The overflow of water from the Santa Ana River reached its light on Monday morning, and the heavy rainfall of the preceding day caused with water several feet deep. The property of A. Schneider, at the corner of Olive and South streets, was completely submerged, and the residence was flooded with water several feet deep. The property was also considerably flooded, and much work had to be done to drain the water from reaching the residence, which was too high, however, to be in much danger. A Mexican family living on the corner of Orange and Santa Ana streets had made their premise, and did also the family begin in the residence on South street, near the railroad crossing. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon the river was running over the railroad track for a distance of four hundred feet, and was rapidly against the eastern embankment. The track would be swept away if it break was made in the roadbed, now the accumulated water to escape, and the flood rushed through with the vehicular millrace. To the southward for a mile great streams of water were flowing toward the west, and it seemed as if entire Santa Ana river had overflowed, and was endeavoring to flood the western part of the city and the country. At town, every road was filled with water and through each depression torrents that seemed to be intent on flooding the city. A vast sheet of water led to the east, and the flooding of the area seemed inevitable. Fortunately an earthquake was effected beyond the southern edge of the city, and the flood kept out of it. It is impossible to estimate the extent of damage that would have been encountered upon the city if the great body of water some unforeseen circumstance should have high enough to enter Center street. Monday evening the waters had raised at its consequence of the arrival of heavy rains. SCHOOL EXHIBITION. The Scholarly Entertainment at Maude Hall on Friday Evening. The Anaheim School Brigade made their first appearance before the public at the opera-house on last Friday evening. The hall was packed with an appreciative audience, all eager to see the school children on parade. It was seen by the good order and attention paid by the pupils throughout the evening that Prof. Garwood had taken great pains to train them in military practice. The evening's entertainment was opened with a song by the school children, entitled "Red, White and Blue," which was followed by Master Harry Davis declaiming the "Roll Call." The "Sketch from Lady of the Lake," by Mrs Carrie Kellegg, and the "American Flag," by Guy Holman were well delivered. The drilling of Company B, captained by Miss Meta Polhemus, was one of the pleasing events of the evening, showing the young ladies to be well up in Reed's tactics. When the company was given the order to "Aim—Fire," (with their brooms) the audience was convulsed with laughter and applause, and only quieted by a reappearance of the young ladies on the stage. They repeated some of the evolutions. Game Langenberger's violin solo was carefully rendered and showed the young man possessed of rare musical ability. An amazing feature of the evening was the acting of Alice Bates, who appeared on the stage, kneeling before her grandma—who was none other than her elder sister in an old-fashioned costume—appealing for a larger "Christmas Stocking," to receive her presents in. "The Soldier's Prayer," by Ella Gardiner and "Our Christmas Party," by Eva Littlefield were also much appreciated. The drill by Company A, under charge of Captain Elmer Holman, was highly enjoyed and received load applause. The Misses Meta Polhemus and Carrie Kellogg favored the audience with a duet, entitled "When the Warbling Waters Flow." Miss Lena Snodgrass delivered a very interesting recitation entitled "Grandmother's Story of the Battle of Banker Hill." Twelve of the stalwart young men of Company G attired in their uniforms executed some difficult evolutions, when the evening's entertainment closed with a patriotic song by the school children. Prof. Garwood and the other teachers are entitled to great praise for their untiring efforts in furnishing this week. PERSONAL MEET Capt. A. S. Purginson has picture for San Francisco.

Lee Burton, the Lee Angela came down on Tuesday on a breeze. He was unable to return to Los Train, and when last seen was getting a horse and riding home. H. R. Cooper of New York hown several days this week. It is impossible to estimate the extent of damage that would have been caused by the city if the great body of water had been unforeseen circumstances, should high enough to enter Center street. Monday evening the waters had raised in consequence of the arrival of Bernardino rain water, and that fell in the mountains to the north. It is a short time for the already large proportion to swell to larger proportions, and to property in the neighborhood be greater. The Southern California strain which arrived here at 5 o'clock was able to proceed further and was sideways at the depot. The flood flow over many places and rails and ties was unsupported by the washing away ground underneath. Up to midnight were out viewing the situation it was apparent the waters were rising. Monday, the weather having cleared the water lessened gradually, and there was a perceptible diminution in stream. It could be seen, however, very rains were falling in the mountain, and as San Bernardino had four inches of rainfall, reasonable to suppose that the flood rate to perhaps its level of the evenness, and a feeling of uncertainty manifest among those who lived even away from the high-water while among those whose property had been surrounded or occupied with water there was a horror that terrible ordeal of Monday evening must be repaired. Among the people at the water's edge was a deep and general indignation at the board of Supervisors in repair the break in the river-bed week, when a favorable opportunity presented itself in the cessation of rain and flooding in the river. Many arguments used by the outraged populace, which were all a great deal stronger than polite. The City Trustees held a special meeting on Monday morning and authorized the Superintendent of Streets to take such measures that would put a stop to the water entering town. Twenty men wore hard at turning the waters into different ditches making a way for it to escape beyond their works, and no repairing was attempted. Treasures have not been running with any degree of regularity for a week or ten days. Almost is overdue, and business correspondence remains unsatisfactory. A patch from Santa Ana says the river has overflowed its banks south and west of Santa Ana and flooded the Newport country. Newports as to losses. Santiago-creek has resumed its old channel along the foothills east of Santa Ana and is running through the San Joaquin Valley. A telephone dispatch from Santa Ana on Monday announced that the Southern Pacific bridge has been washed away by the Prayer," by Ella Gardiner and "Our Christmas Party," by Eva Littlefield were also much appreciated.

Miss Lena Snodgrass delivered a very interesting recitation entitled "Grandmother's Story of the Battle of Banker Hill." Twelve of the stalwart young men of Company G attired in their uniforms executed some difficult evolutions, when the evening's entertainment closed with a patriotic song by the school children. Prof. Garwood and the other teachers are entitled to great praise for their untiring efforts in furnishing the public with the entertainment. About $20 was realized, which will be used in purchasing a flag for the schoolhouse. How the Taxes Come In. Tuesday morning the collections at the office of the irrigation district amounted to the sum of $2,335 47, and taxes were being paid at a lively rate. This amount is all in small sums, and the larger assessments are expected to be paid in before the end of this year. The total assessment is $16,261 20, of which the California Central will pay $1,461 36, the Southern Pacific $779 59, the Stearns Ranchos Company $1,410 93, and the Fullerton Land and Water Company $259 80.

His recovery will not be rapid, as his injuries are serious. His left hip was dislocated by his fall, and it was found necessary to amputate the right hand above the wrist. Stone is thirty-seven years of age, and had been drinking on the day of the accident.

Trains have not been running with any degree of regularity for a week or ten days. All rail is overdue, and business correspondence remains unsatisfactory. A dispatch from Santa Ana says the river has overflowed its banks south and west of the city and flooded the Newport country. No ports as to losses. The Santiago creek has resumed its old channel along the foothills east of Santa Ana and is running through the San Joaquin ranch. A telephone dispatch from Santa Ana on Monday announced that the Southern Pacific bridge has been washed away by the mer. The California Central bridge was also washed away. The damage to the railroad property will be great, but as yet no reliable estimate can be made. It was learned later the bridges had not been washed away, but both are somewhat damaged by the flood. During the flood many jackrabbits and squirrels, which had taken refuge on alight knots of earth, were slaughtered with sticks by boys who made sport of wading after them. Yesterday the water had subsided to a great extent, and all danger was over. The mines of track was repaired sufficiently to allow the running of the trains between Matheum and Santa Ana, but extensive washouts had occurred at Downey and no train could get through to Los Angeles. All communication was out off from the north, and it may be several days before the breaks will be repaired. There was a report that a Chinese vegetable cutter living a couple of miles north of town had been drowned during the rapid rise of the water one day last week. The rumor could not be authenticated, and was generally regarded as a canard, when the story was resurrected on Tuesday by several parties averring that they saw the body of a Chinese man floating down the large current of the flood. No attempt was made to rescue the corpse, if it was seen at all, and the reason is consequently still unsubstantiated. This is the greatest downpour of waters since 1802, when the entire city was flooded and the people had to leave their homes to seek shelter elsewhere. Great damage resulted, and one life was lost. The drowned man was a young fellow named Gates, who lived in the extreme southeastern part of the town, where the flood was highest on Monday. Becoming alarmed at the rapid Pacific train on Wednesday evening of last week, will soon be moved by his relatives to his home in Artesia. His recovery will not be rapid, as his injuries are serious. His left hip was dislocated by his fall, and it was found necessary to amputate the right hand above the wrist. Stone is thirty-seven years of age, and had been drinking on the day of the accident. When the train reached Holman station, several passengers alighted, and when the engine started again Stone lost his balance and fell on his left hip, dialogating it, and grabbing out with his right hand to stay his fall, he caught hold of the rail, and the wheels of several care passed over his fingers, mashing the hand in a horrible manner. By the merest accident he was found lying near the track, after the train had pulled out, by the passengers who had alighted and who were driving home from the station. He was brought into town by Victor Browning, and every attention given him. Stone some years ago, so it is said, ran off with his brother's wife, and when subsequently she returned to her husband, Stone shot himself in the left breast, the ball penetrating the body, but he soon recovered. His right leg has been broken twice, from which he quickly recovered. Some years ago the family held a reunion at the Anaheim Hotel, at which thirteen members sat down at table. Stone is a powerful man, and will no doubt recover in course of time. Board of supervisors The Board of Supervisors met at Santa Ana on Monday, when Chairman Spurgeon, who had been appolated to affect a settlement with Los Angeles county in regard to the personal property tax matter mentioned last week, reported that, in cases wherein Orange county personal property was attached to Los Angeles county realty, parties should pay personal tax to the Orange County Tax Collector and take their receipt to the Los Angeles county Tax Collector, where personal and realty tax would be properly aggregated. In the matter of securing Orange county road funds from Los Angeles, he reported that all the road funds, except those which had been affected and changed by necessity of the division, had been turned over some time ago, and that in meaning the Palatino road fund, Orange county released all claim on Los Niston road and Los Angeles Our present situation is very serious there is a possibility of the river for channel on the line of the present on Some steps should be taken immediately divert the current from the point where overflow occurs, as the present indicates are favorable for rain, and so that rainfall has filled the soil with water. In the river equal to the present can peeled at any time. The Orange Crop. Additional proof of the truth of what we said last week in regard to the orange is furnished from several quarters this A correspondent writes from San Francisco that he learns from no larger and most expert fruit buyers and shipmen on this coast also from Chicago that there is going best demand for California market orange there has been for eight years. The Florida crop is very indeed, and is the smallest in years. Lings are not plausible anywhere in California and that makes the fruit in good deed One dealer in this city says that he has contrived for naval stores at $275 and has 17,000 houses of mollage cost for at $150 a box. He thinks he have money in buying at these prices too. Later reports from the orange district this State are to the effect that there are largest crop of naval stores ever known; whose landings are about $2 per cent less year. Recently contests have been held at $3 a box on the town for naval stores, and is a good prospect that shows fruit will for even more than that before this ever. The questions in this form market are $5 to $6 per box. Farmers bring in your salves at Avery & Everhardy. Farmers and merchants bring in your salt market price. PERSONAL MELANGE. Capt. A. R. Pergamon has taken his departure for San Francisco. Roman Agilior is down from Mowhall to and Christmas with his family. Not evenfamily returned from San Francisco on Sunday morning.

Hogaboom was one of the unfortranwho were caught here on Monday evenby the warden. He has severed his section with the San Diego papers, and a resident of Los Angeles. Charles F. Grim and Miss Agnes T. Crowboth of Santa Ana, were married at the holly church in this city yesterday. The sole departed for Los Angeles, where the syncope will be pardoned. Lee Burton, the Los Angeles architect, down on Tuesday on a business visit, was unable to return to Los Angeles by and when last seen was thinking of a horse and riding home. R. Cooper of New York has been in several days this week, acceded in MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR All have been arrested. Albert's commission of Commerce has many matters to deal with. Ministry of Interior at the joint. MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR The III Capitol After is shaking in humour. It is dead. Our thanks are due Col. John Browning for a share collection of Western papers. The Alameda County edited by young Indiast Grominski, that of Madeline Grominski. Oxy Kellogg's residence is going up rapidly and presents a handsome appearance. R. Osham numbered a lot of Christmas items during the week, and disposed of many of them. Up to Tuesday morning Max McBaldine's garage reported 12.80 inches of rainfall for the month. The appointment of Mrs. L. G. Bates on Parliament was confirmed by the Senate on Friday night. Davis Manual Arbital, for many years a resident of Amelia, has moved with his family to Los Angeles.

The city ordinance prohibiting the sale of water for domestic purposes inside the city limits will be found in ear advertising columns this morning. Collector Codman has his office in the irrigation district fitted up in gargoyons style with paintings and other decorations. He has a piercing eye for the beautiful. A Mexican family living on South street lost two horses one night last week, when the flood was raising. Whether they strayed off or were stolen or drowned is not known. The children of the Presbyterian Methodist and German churches were made happy by Christmas trees on Tuesday evening. Many head people distribute newspapers. PRESIDENT The Penna company having filed objections to being transferred to the new North Infantry Regiment, with headquarters at San Diego; the request has been granted, and Company G of Amelia will be placed in the new registrar instead. There will be some objection to this on the part of our guardmen, not on account of any feeling against the new companies, but because of the necessity of going to the San Diego headquarters, when at present they are no more headquarters at Los Angeles. It will be rather difficult for our company to take part in regimental parades at San Diego, on account of the time required in making the trip. There will be some speculation shortly, as to the election of regimental officers. San Diego has a candidate for Colonel in Captain Nerney, who was some time ago said to be so unpopular with "the boys." Some of the militiamen are great fallows to go on a "still hunt" in stealthmaking, and before the regimental election occurs there will be a whole lot of fun for the boys and the people. MRS. SCHWETT'S MONTH. Mrs. Elizabeth Schwein, whose death was announced in these columns last week, was an old and respected resident of Centralia, where she had resided with her family for many years. She was the wife of Jacob Schwein, was a native of Bavaria, and came to this country when a child. The family settled at Cincinnati, where a large number of children were raised, who subsequently came to this county years ago, settling at the farm at Centralia, near Coyota creek. About THE RIVER'S FLOOD. ACTION TO PLANT A Melt of Trees for Protection from Overflow. ATOR GAZETTE. — Probably no more favorable opportunity will present itself than recent for offering a few suggestions as best method for protecting our city at the Santa Ana river in times of high rain. In 1884 we recommended the plant—a belt of encalyptus trees about twenty-five wide at a sufficient distance from the river to secure a line, uniformly straight, and its main axis. At that time, the water did not overflow, and protection for a future emergency was forgotten. This time the water has through and is flowing through the last portion of the city. All can see may happen, if no steps are taken to us. Hence, we again recommend planting of such a belt of trees. The tree would be very small. One irrigation year would be sufficient. My purpose be for the landowners along the donate the land and cultivate the water company to furnish the water to furnish and plant the this would be a very tax, and in a very few years akwater would be guaranteed.

Mrs. Elizabeth Schwein, whose death was announced in these columns last week, was an old and respected resident of Centralia, where she had resided with her family for many years. She was the wife of Jacob Schwein, was a native of Bavaria, and came to this country when a child. The family settled at Cincinnati, where a large number of children were raised, who subsequently came to this county years ago, settling at the farm at Centralia, near Coyote Creek. About three weeks ago Mrs. Schwein was struck with paralysis and remained unconscious until shortly before her death, when she regained consciousness sufficiently to place her arm around her daughter's neck and whisper "Good bye, Emma." She quietly pinned away. She was barred at Artdea on Thursday, the 12th instant, and her funeral notwithstanding the heavy rain, was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends, a number of them from Anahaim. Narrow Escape from Drowning. L. W. Kirby and family had a narrow escape from drowning on Saturday morning last, as they were driving into town from their residence at Yorba. A short distance this side of the river the horses plunged into a mudhole and quickly swamped the vehicle. By prompt action Mr. Kirby succeeded in getting his family out of the reach of danger, and then set about saving his team and carriage. This required a considerable length of time, and all were more or less dampened by the water. We are glad to say that nothing serious resulted from the accident, and that Mr. Kirby and his family were soon on their way to town again. Work on the river's bank should be done at once, so that narrow escapes such as the above, and accidents attended by loss of life may not occur at every rainfall. MARRIED.
