LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. What the Solemn City Fathers Did Yesterday. Ex-Marshal Landell's Reports In Had Shape—Over $500 to be Accounted for-H. C. Gade Appointed Marshal, and S. O. Wood City Recorder. Ansheim Water Company—Soundings at Annheim Landing for the Wharf at the Terminus of the China Railroad - The Citrus Fair. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon, Trustees Littlefield, Witte and Bennerscheid present, Mr. Littlefield occupied the chair. Secretary Nebelung read the minutes of the last two meetings, which were approved as read. The Clerk also reported the collection of $2 during the mouth, which he turned over to the Treasurer. The report of the Treasurer showed a balance of $608 48 in favor of the city. Both reports were referred to the Finance Committee. At this moment Mr. Reiser came into the council chamber, and the rules were suspended to give him an opportunity of voting on Ordinance No. 60. The law provides that two-thirds of the board, or four Trustees, must vote in favor of the ordinance, which is the first in the series of ordinances providing for the issuance of city bonds. The board entered into a lengthy discussion about the bond question, Mr. Reisser taking the ground that it was not necessary to issue bonds for the purchase of a steam fire engine, which he thought would be too expensive. Mr. Littlefield took the ground that it was necessary to have an engine. After discussing the subject at some length, the words "steam fire apparatus" were stricken out, and the word "property for fire department" placed in their stead. The change was made in view of the fact that it may be advisable to purchase a chemical engine instead of a fire engine. The ordinance was then adopted. It will be found in another column. After the adoption of the ordinance, Mr. Reiser, who is seriously unwell, was excused. The Marshal failed to make his regular monthly report. The Clark said that the Marshal had also neglected to make his report on the delinquent taxes of the city. According to the Clerk, the Marshal has city records. $640 35. The Board of Audit made the shortage $648 89. The money has been turned over by Dr. Gardiner to the company. The company borrowed money in the following sums: From Peter Arimond, $1,500; from W. J. Smith, $1,000; from S. S. Federman, $1,000; and from Fritz Ruhmann, $300, all at 10 per cent. The notes are to run a year if necessary, but may be called in at any time at the pleasure of the Directors. In the matter of the appointment of a new Superintendent, offers were received from C. W. Street and Theo. Staley offering to do the work for $75 per month. A vote was called for and resulted: Staley 4, Street 2. Staley was thereupon declared elected to the position. For zanjoer the following bids were received: A. Anderson, $60 per month; A. E. Clampitt, $60; B. J. Perry, $55; A. E. Bird, $50; Williara Kroeger, $60; B. J. Dresser, $70; W. A. Hunter, $65; Henry Knapke, $60; E. E. Beazley, $60. Anderson was elected for the North Anaheim district, receiving six votes. For town zanjoer Kroeger was elected by the following vote: Kroeger, 4; Perry, 1; Knapke, L. A lengthy discussion ensued on the question of furnishing Col. Tuffree water purchased on the Haddox shares. The gentleman had bought water and paid for it, and the question arose whether the water could be delivered to Mr. Tuffree's land without going contrary to the by-laws. It was finally decided, on motion of Mr. Porter, to deliver the water, Messra. McFadden and Strain opposing it vigorously and voting us, and Messra. Porter and Schorn voting aye. Mr. Kroeger refrained from voting, and Chairman Botaford declared the motion carried. After the payment of bills and a further discussion of the affairs of the company, the meeting adjourned. Serious Accident. An alarm of fire was sounded on Friday morning last for a blaze in the residence of Dr. Hunt on Hedwig street. Mrs. Hunt had been preparing dinner, using a gasoline stove, which leaked, resulting in the apparatus igniting and setting fire to the premises. Mr. Nemetz, who lives near, rushed into the burning building and smashed a hand grenade upon the incipient blaze, succeeding in smothering the flames after which the fire was extinguished. Mrs. Hunt, who attempted to throw the burning gasoline tank out of doors, was very badly burned about the hands and feet. That the lady was not more seriously burned is undoubtedly due to Mr. Nemetz and the hand grenade, which also saved the residence from destruction. The kitchen door was charred, and there were other evidences that the fire had already attained some headway. Mrs. Hunt has been confined to her bed during the week, but is recovering.

After the adoption of the ordinance, Mr. Reiser, who is seriously unwell, was excused. The Marshal failed to make his regular monthly report. The Clerk said that the Marshal had also neglected to make his report on the delinquent taxes of the city. According to the Clerk, the Marshal has city funds in his possession amounting to upwards of $800, which should have been turned over. The report on the delinquent taxes, amounting to $402 70, should have been rendered in January. The Clerk was instructed to notify the Marshal to prepare his monthly report and his report on the amount collected for delinquent taxes, together with all monies collected up to yesterday and have them ready to be submitted on Wednesday next at 2 o'clock.

The bill of Scholer, Johnson & Co., for supplies for City Water Works, amounting to $11 42, was returned to them for correction, as at the rate agreed upon to be paid for the supplies, the bill was too high by $1 90. S. O. Wood sent in an application to be allowed $100 as advance on city maps upon which he is at present at work. Trustee Bennerscheidt objected, and said that the maps should be turned over to the city before any money was paid on them. The communication was laid over, and the Secretary was instructed to notify the gentleman to bring in his bill in proper shape when the maps shall have been furnished the city. The Clerk was allowed to procure necessary blanks and other printing for his office. Adjourned to next Wednesday at 2 o'clock P.M. Anaheim Water Company. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company met in regular session at their office on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Mr. Porter introduced a resolution to the effect that the water company demand $100,000 in bonds, and $60,000 in gold coin for the company's works. After discussing the matter discussed above, Mr. Nemetz, who lives near, rushed into the burning building and smashed a hand grenade upon the incipient blaze, succeeding in smothering the flames after which the fire was extinguished. Mrs. Hunt, who attempted to throw the burning gasoline tank out of doors, was very badly burned about the hands and feet. That the lady was not more seriously burned is undoubtedly due to Mr. Nemetz and the hand grenade, which also saved the residence from destruction. The kitchen door was charred, and there were other evidences that the fire had already attained some headway. Mrs. Hunt has been confined to her bed during the week, but is recovering. The Citrus Fair. The State Citrus Fair was opened on Tuesday evening in Hazard's Pavilion, Los Angeles, the vast building being covered to its utmost capacity by thousands of admiring visitors. After three weeks of arduous work the many designs were completed for the opening. The pavilion is handsomely decorated with bunting, cypress, roses and wreaths. There are fourteen special designs worked out in oranges, which are very handsome. The hall was a blaze of electric lights, and the spectacle presented to the eyes was a beautiful one. Over one million oranges have been used in working out the special designs and exhibits. Eight counties of Southern California are represented at the fair, and there are over 350 exhibits, divided into twenty-seven classes. The Fair is a grand success. It surpasses the wildest expectations. The long list of premiums will be awarded in a day or two. The Fair continues for a week. Alba Heywood Company. The entertainment given by the Alba Heywood company at the Opera-house on Monday evening was one of the best ever given in Anaheim. Alba Heywood's imitative impressions cover a wide range, and are most enjoyable. The flute solo, "Come Back to Erin," with variations, by Dawy Heywood was superb, and his ocarina solo, "Cricket on the Heart," was another notable number of the programme. Sig. Javine's singing was of high quality, as in fact was everything on the programme. Miss Miller's sole for violin demonstrated her powers as a violinist in difficult selection, the "Seventh Concerto," of De Bariot. The finale, "Trip to Coney Island," was interesting to a degree, and the different imitations by the orchestra were readily distinguished. Mrs. Hates Highly Complimented. Postoffice Inspector M. H. Flint inspected the Anaheim Postoffice yesterday and reported as follows: ANAHIM Cal., March 11, 1891. Mrs. Laura G. Bates, Postmaster, Anaheim Cal.,—I desire to state that after a careful inspection of your office I find everything in good shape and well conducted. Very respectfully, M. H.

Mr. Porter introduced a resolution to the effect that the water company demand $100,000 in bonds, and $60,000 in gold coin for the company's works. After discussing the resolution it was amended to read $90,000 in bonds and $75,000 in gold, and was adopted.

THE CHINO RAILROAD. SOUNDINGS MADE YESTERDAY AT THE BAY AT ANAHEIM LANDING—STOCK NEARLY ALL SUBSCRIBED—THE SOUND OF THE LOCOMOTIVE REVERBERATES IN THE HILLS. Messrs. R. C. Shaw and M. M. O'Gorman of Chino, representing Richard Gird, arrived in town yesterday morning for the purpose of accompanying a delegation of our citizens to the Landing, where soundings were to be made to demonstrate the practicability of building a wharf at the terminus of the Anaheim and Chino Railroad. The party left for the Landing in carriages at about 9:45 o'clock. The party returned at 7:30 o'clock last evening, after having prosecuted their labors all day. They proceed again to the Landing this morning, when soundings will be resumed. It is thought a favorable site for a wharf may be selected. The latest addition to the railroad stock is a subscription of ten shares by J. J. Weglein of San Francisco, for the Dreyfus company. This subscription arrived a few days ago, and created no little enthusiasm among the promoters of the road. It is expected that Mr. Bailey of the Olinda ranch will be heard from shortly, with a subscription of twenty shares. This will bring the amount subscribed up to the high water mark, and if nothing unforeseen occurs, work on the road will begin in a very few weeks thereafter. The people to the south of us, along the route through Garden Grove and Westminster, are daily growing more enthusiastic about the road. During the week prominent citizens of those localities have been in town, eager to hear the latest news of the road, and seemingly impatient to go home and give the order that the time had come for grading operations to begin. They are taking just a trifle more interest in the road than the citizens of Anaheim. We want their friendship and their patronage. We want this railroad to be built so that they may be bound more closely to us, and we want them to acquire all possible benefit from the building of the road. There is still work for the people of this city to do. We desire to make one last appeal to those of our citizens who have not yet subscribed. Let them step up and put their names down for stock according as their purses will afford. A couple of dozen shares subscribed this week would help the road along mightily. All work will begin at Anaheim. Surveyors will be in the field inside of fifteen days after the necessary amount of stock has been subscribed. Within the year the road will be in running order from the great Chino sugar factory to the sea. Our merchants would have cheaper freight and coal would drop three dollars per ton.

Encouraged by their former successes, they are sparing no pains in arranging details in the most elaborate manner. It being "All Fools' Day" they anticipate having a grand time, as the most sedate will feel justified in disguising their true character for the time being. Some unique representations will be presented. No one should miss the opportunity for a jolly time and a hearty laugh. —The good people of our truly virtuous neighbor, Santa Ana, are greatly shocked at the going on of a party of three young gentlemen and three young ladies, who sallied forth a few evenings ago, and succeeded in making "Rome Howl." It is said all became intoxicated and carried on in a scandalous manner. As a result of the affair, it is remored, one or two of the party had to "skip out of the town." Boys will be boys. As the Chinaman said in the show, "Why, Shoore!" PERSONAL MELANGE. Supervisor Yooh of Santa Ana was in town on Sunday. Theo, Rimpau left for Yuma on Tuesday, H. R.

There is still work for the people of this city to do. We desire to make one last appeal to those of our citizens who have not yet subscribed. Let them step up and put their names down for stock according as their purges will afford. A couple of dozen shares subscribed this week would help the road along mightily. All work will begin at Anaheim. Surveyors will be in the field inside of fifteen days after the necessary amount of stock has been subscribed. Within the year the road will be in running order from the great Chino sugar factory to the sea. Our merchants would have cheaper freight and coal would drop three dollars per ton. Our farmers would have a splendid chance to make money by raising beets. Seven hundred and fifty barrels of sugar would be freighted through town on the road every day, on its way to tide water. Forty tons of coal will be needed at the factory every day, and all of this will be shipped through town over the road. Next season the factory will need 150 tons per day. Hundreds of tons of beets would be taken to the factory every day during the season from this valley, and the road would be kept busy from the start. We should have several trains daily between China and the sea. Anaheim would grow and be a commercial center of no mean importance. The road would bring better times to every man, woman and child in the town. Business of all kinds would spread out, our stores would carry larger stocks, we would have need for more hotels, and THE GAZETTE would issue a wide-awake and rattling daily newspaper—one to set the pace for the daily journals of this county. We can do it. Who is there in this town that cannot see great things in store for this sleepy old burg? Many of us have been too much like Rip Van Winkle. Let us awake from our lethargy, arouse and shake ourselves, and go down from the Catkill mountains. We have slept long enough. Let us arise and go hence. Come along! A couple of dozen shares or thereabouts will do the business. We should have them this week. Then the road will be built. The thought creates landscapes in the brain. There are flapping sails and whit-wings ships of the sea, busy depots and marts of trade and happy and contented people. The road must be built. There are good times coming. The sound of the locomotives reverberates in the hills! Hotel Arrivals J. E. Bleskman, A. E. McConnell, E. L. Schoesley and wife, G. W. Hack, C. Ganahl and wife, W. A. Dunn, H. M. Alexander, P.

Last Friday afternoon the pupils in the higher branches of the public schools rendered a programme of Longfellow exercises to the edification of a large number of visitors. The school has just received a full-sized portrait of the poet, which has been framed and hung upon the wall. The exercises were principally from "Evangeline," and were creditably rendered. It is the intention of Prof. Gregan to hold occasional exercises in commemoration of the other posts, and to hang their portraits on the walls of the schoolroom. A bill has passed the Legislature for the somewhat surprising purpose of providing for the legal formation of the city of Santa Ana. It appears that when the town was formed into a city of the fifth class, a defect in advertising was allowed to creep in, nullifying the incorporation. The defect was discovered by Judge Brusson some months ago, and the only way to rectify the error was by the passage of an Act covering the case.
