LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Sudden Death of Dr. Thomas Spencer. On Tuesday Evening He Succumbed to Heart Disease—Short Biographical Sketch—Meeting of the Town Trustees—Mysterious Disappearance—All the Happenings of the Past Seven Days—Fruit Dryer. This community was shocked on Tuesday evening, shortly after 8 o'clock, to hear of the death of Dr. Thomas Spencer, which occurred at his residence at Orangathorpe at 7:15 o'clock. It had been known that the Doctor was a sufferer from heart disease, and had recently expressed the opinion that the sands of his life were obbing fast, but no one was prepared for the shocking intelligence of his untimely death. He had been at work cultivating in his field, and at different times during the afternoon had carried on a conversation with his neighbor, A. R. Eddis, who was at work in his field hard by. The two friends had been conversing upon different topics, and the Doctor seemed to be in the best of spirits. About 6 o'clock work was discontinued and both men started to go home. Mr. Eddis had been but a short time in his house when Dr. Spencer's little boy ran over and told him that his father was dead, Dumbounded, he ran to where the Doctor's body lay, but found that life was extinct. The Coroner was sent for immediately. Dr. Spencer met his death in udeavoring to catch a fractions cow, which had run into his corn. After putting his horse into the stable he went after the cow, seized the reep by which it was tied and endeavored to restrain it from going into the corn patch. The cow started to run, when the Doctor's little boy called to him to let go of the rope—that the cow would kill him. He dropped the rope, but had scarcely done so when he made an attempt to pick it up again. He sprang forward, and fell upon his face. His shoulders moved as if he were making an attempt to arise, then there came the relaxation, and he was dead. His little boy called Mrs. Spencer and then ran for Mr. Eddis. The Coroner was notified at once, and the body removed to the dwelling. The inquest was held yesterday morning, the jury finding that deceased had come to his death from heart disease. Commission for the past two months, for the purpose of clarifying wines and killing ferments by the use of an alternative electric current, submitted a report describing the process. It was the unanimous opinion of the commissioners that under such system wines had been materially improved and had acquired qualities which would only have been secured by years of ageing. The resignation of C. A. Wetmore as Chief Executive Officer was accepted and in his place Clarence J. Wetmore was appointed. The following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing six months: President J. De Barth Shorb of San Gabriel; Vice-President, George West, Stockton; Treasurer, John T. Doyle, Menlo; Secretary, W. Scott. CITY FATHERS IN SOLEMN CONCLAVE ASSEMBLED, DISCUSSING MOMENTOUS AFFAIRS OF STATE. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. President Reiser in the chair and Trustees Littlefield, Schindler, Witte and Bennerscheidt present. The Secretary read the minutes of the last regular and special meetings, which were approved.

Read and filed, to be called up for passage at the next regular meeting. The Clerk reported collections amounting to $5 32, which had been turned over to the Treasurer.

The Finance Committee were given power to employ such expert and have such an examination made. The Clerk was authorized to advertise for bids for the purchase of $15,000 city bonds, the advertisement to appear in the ANAHEIM GAZETTE and Los Angeles Herald. The Committee on Public Improvements was authorized to make all needed repairs and improvements at the city water works. N. Hart was allowed a license to run a by which it was tied and endeavored to restrain it from going into the corn patch. The cow started to run, when the Doctor's little boy called to him to let go of the rope—that the cow would kill him. He dropped the rope, but had scarcely done so when he made an attempt to pick it up again. He sprang forward, and fell upon his face. His shoulders moved as if he were making an attempt to arise, then there came the relaxation, and he was dead. His little boy called Mrs. Spencer and then ran for Mr. Eddie. The Coroner was notified at once, and the body removed to the dwelling. The inquest was held yesterday morning, the jury finding that deceased had come to his death from heart failure. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Dr. Spencer was born at Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, and was 56 years of age. He came to America when fourteen years of age, and crossed the plains in an ox team when he was 16. In the early days he mined in the northern part of this State, and subsequently located in Sonoma county, where he was elected Superior Judge. He lived in California twenty years, when he returned to Iowa in 1871. He remained in that State for sixteen years, and during his residence there held several offices of public trust. He returned to this State in October, 1887, and purchased his farm at Orangethorse, where he has since resided. He leaves a wife and seven children, who are all comfortably provided for. His death removes a public figure, and is an irreparable loss to the community. Intellectually deep and penetrating, of profound scholarship, a thinker and orator, of ripe experience, large knowledge and sagacious insight into the affairs of men, he was at ease a man to lead in public affairs, one whose leadership the people might safely follow. Now that he is gone, his loss is all the more deplorable when we consider that possibly in his lifetime he was not estimated at his true worth. Yet a few days ago and his laugh was heard, and his jealousy wit cast a charm within the radiance of his presence. Wherever he moved, there was the center. He spoke, and others listened. And he is dead. The time is too short to write his treasony. Dr. Spencer was kind and simple as a child. Never a favor that was asked of him, but was given with free and open-handed liberality. In conversation, there was a charm about him that drew others toward him. As a Director of the irrigation district, much reused upon his shoulders. He was quick in debate, and weighed matters carefully and well. He was loved by all who knew him. Taken for all in all, we shall not look upon his like again. He was always foremost in public affairs. His keen perception guided a trenchant pen, and his writing were clear and comprehensive, always to the point and convincing to the last degree. A few hours before he died, he wrote an article for our columnn, which appears elsewhere and to which attention is respectfully directed. A good man has gone from us. There is none to take his place. May he rest in peace. THE FUNERAL The funeral takes place to-day at 2 o'clock from deceased's late residence at Orange thorpe. The interment will be in the Anaheim cemetery, the cortege moving through town. D. M. Baker of Santa Ana will deliver the funeral oration at the grave. Fruit Dryer.

The Fumigating Patent Replying to a labored article written by James R. Townsend in the last number of the Rural Californian, wherein it is attempted to set up the right of Mosasa Wall Jones and Bishop to the fumigating patent now in their possession, Prof. Coquillett writes from Los Angeles as follows: In reply to the above somewhat distorted history of the gas treatment, little need be said at the present time; if this matter is ever brought into court, that will be the proper time to make public the facts which prove that the above patentees have no moral nor legal right to the patent. It is only necessary to state in this connection that we are in possession of facts sufficient to prove the correctness of the following statement: 1- That neither of the above mentioned patentees were the first to use hydrocyanic acid gas for the destruction of insects on trees. 2- That neither of them were the first to discover the fact that this gas is more liable to injure the trees when used in the hottest part of the day than it is when used in the cooler portion. 3- That neither of them were the first to use the gas at night. 4- That neither of them were the first to use a black tent. All of these discoveries were made and a black tent first used by another person or persons, and the facts were afterward communicated to one or more of the patentees. As it is these discoveries that the patent is based upon it must be very evident to all that the patentees have no right whatever to the patent. The next question be decided is: "What is the quickest and least expensive course to pursue in order to throw this patent?" This matter is now in hands of a committee, and it rests with addition to his own confidentiality." never do it agree.

The interment will be in the Anaheim cemetery, the cortege moving through town. D. M. Baker of Santa Ana will deliver the funeral oration at the grave. Fruit Dryer. The machinery of the fruit dryer was started up on Tuesday in the presence of a large delegation of our citizens. Everything worked to perfection. The two fruit evaporators have a capacity of 40,000 pounds, and the dryer can handle 30 tons of fruit per day if pushed. Messrs. Godfrey and Van Valin have put up a substantial edifice, and we hope they will do well. A further description of the dryer is deferred, owing to the crowded condition of our columns. Subscribers are requested to pay over their subscriptions within the week. They may do so as soon as possible. Important to Viguerons. At the semi-annual meeting of the State Viticultural Commission at San Francisco on Monday, Charles A. Wetmore, Chief Viticultural Officer, made a report regarding the market for grapes. He stated that it is of importance to the wine growers of California that the sweet wine law be continued so as to permit Eastern wine makers to make wines out of grapes only, and where it is impossible to obtain sufficient saccharine strength in one place, it is presumed they will be permitted to obtain it in another, provided that the material used comes solely from the grape, and is used in connection with the legitimate fermentation of the grapes procured in the vicinity of the wine maker. He desires that Eastern wine makers be permitted, by a ruling of the department at Washington, to use the condensed or boiled grape juice from California, whenever their necessities require it. The intention of the law as it stands was simply to prevent the use of free spirits in the manufacture of bogus, imitation or adulterated wines. Mr. Wetmore proposes to increase the market value of wine grapes in California as follows: By drying and establishing brandy distilleries on the co-operative principle, in vineyard districts. The report contains a lengthy synopsis of his plan. William C. Spencer, who has been working under the instructions of the Viticultural No Wonder at All! San Pedro Times. Over at Anaheim they voted $15,000 for public improvements, which shows the citizens are a live progressive people. Here in San Pedro the City Trustees are so economical that when they pass an ordinance they have it written and posted on the side of a house. Is it any wonder that San Pedro has the smallest paper in Southern California? To Find a New Ladybug. Secretary Leong of the State Board of Horticulture announces that Albert Koebele, discoverer of the redolla cardinalia, or Australian ladybug, will again sail in a few days for Australia, New Zealand and adjacent countries to search for parasite or other beneficial insects for introduction into this State. Mr. Koebele's fare will be paid by the Board of Agriculture. The State Board of Horticulture will pay his expenses, and he will be kept abroad at least two years.

Anaheim is keeping up with the procession. What with the mysterious disappearance of Hanchette and the rest of them, it seemed almost impossible for us to keep up and be among the people in this hurrying, scurrying work-a-day world. But we come to the front this morning with flying colors. We have a genuine case of mysterious disappearance. The party who has audibly dropped out of sight is Herr Bob Wetzel, who for some time past has run a butcher shop on Los Angeles street. Many of his old-time friends and acquaintances are exceedingly anxious to know where he is, and hope to have the pleasure of seeing him again. Herr Wetzel's disappearance is abounded in deep and impenetrable mystery. He was to all appearances enjoying a liberal patronage, and his friends thought he was doing exceedingly well. Last Wednesday morning his butcher-shop was closed and has so remained during the week. Inquiries for the missing proprietor elicited the information that he simply dropped out of sight. Running down several rumors and counterrumors, our reporter at last arrived at the following facts: When last seen alive Wetzel was engaged in borrowing $20 from Dominick Lieb, which he promised to repay "in the morning." Wetzel having mysteriously disappeared, Dominick's eye is out for the twenty. Fritz Ruhmann also deplores Wetzel's disappearance. His grief is deep and poignant, going to about $300. Theo Blumhardt is sad to the tune of $15, and Brunswicker, the Fullerton butcher, for a larger sum. A Santa Ana Board of Trustees have granted a franchise to the Westminster railroad, and it is expected work upon the road will begin immediately. This is a wise move for the county seat. Ruhman has a bill of sale for the effects in the butcher shop, and in order to play even may be induced to start a sausage factory in addition to his Germania Hall. He informs us confidentially, however, that he will "never do it again." Wetzel was at one time a prominent citizen of a town in Kansas, where he was a member of the board of trustees and had free passes to the circus. He is also a very fine Skat player, and plays a null oure on the least provocation. But the haunts that knew him ones will know him no more forever. He has mysteriously disappeared, and his numerous creditors chant in unison, "Where is Wetzel gone?" Echo answers "Where." And the Skat club will go into mourning for thirty days. Kleinigkeiten. What are we going to do on the Glorious Fourth? Let us celebrate! Mr. James' palatial residence is being pushed to completion. Plaistering will begin in a few days. The bridge over the Santa Ana river, which has been undergoing repairs for some time past, is finished and travel may be resumed over it. Peter Hansen entertained his friends with a social hop at Placentia on Saturday evening. Everybody reports having had a very pleasant time. The skating rink closed with a prize carnival on Saturday evening, when a large crowd was in attendance. Manager Walton has opened a rink at Santa Ana. Mr. Langenberger is erecting a large brick warehouse in rear of his store. It will have a cement floor and an iron roof, and be absolutely fire proof. Sunday will be a gala day at the Landing. Company G goes down for a drill on the seashore. There will be boating, fishing, dancing and a general good time. A very enjoyable dance was given at Chadbourne's Hall, Fullerton, Saturday evening, at which there was a large attendance of merry couples from the surrounding countryside. The City Trustees canvassed the vote of the bond election on Monday, as required by law. They will proceed to dispose of the bonds and begin the work of improvement without delay. The Santa Ana Board of Trustees have granted a franchise to the Westminster railroad, and it is expected work upon the road will begin immediately. This is a wise move for the county seat. We inadvertently omitted to mention last week that Julius Schusider was closted Assessor and Collector of the Anaheim School District. Julius had no opponent, and the way he piled up votes was a sight to see. Fred Crist announces that he has just received an assortment of spring and summer goods, to which he calls the attention of the public. He is ready to make the goods up into suits of the latest styles at prices that defy competition. Give him a call. The scholars in Prof. Grogan's room have sent a petition to the School Trustees asking that he be retained as Principal of the school. Prof. Grogan is a capable and painstaking teacher, and the majority of our people favor his retention as Principal. PERSONAL MELANO Mrs. Comstock of Arizona is visiting Mrs. Hack. Misses Gertrude Houchins and Lute are guests of Miss Jettie Arthurat Passa. Frank N. Rost, special agent of the don Assurance Corporation, called in us one evening last week. D.M. Baker of the Santa Ana Star was in to see us yesterday, having called over this way by the death of his long friend, Dr. Spencer.

He is also a very fine Skat player, and plays a null oure on the last provocation. But the haunts that knew him once will know him no more forever. He has mysteriously disappeared, and his numerous creditors chant in unison, "Where is Wetzel gone?" Echo answers "Where." And the Skat club will go into monning for thirty days. Progressive Hearts Mr. and Mrs. Hartung entertained a party of their friends at progressive hearts on Tuesday evening. The time was passed very pleasantly and it was voted that the host and hostess were the best of entertainers. The ladies' progressive prize was won by Miss Jessie Witte, and the gentleman's by Fred Smythe. Miss Elizabeth Kuchel captured the first ladies' prize, and Mr. Cahen the first gentleman. The beoohy prizes went to Miss Theresa Harris and Frank Schaumburger. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Hartung, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rimpam, Mr. and Mrs. Horr, Mr. and Mrs. Crist, Mrs. Bates, Mrs. Heimann, Misses Dora and Minnie Zeyn, Misses Theresa and Rabecca Harris, Miss Jessie Witte, Miss Clara Mossman, Miss Elizabeth Kuchel; Messrs.

Irrigation District At the adjourned meeting of the Board of Directors of the irrigation district held on Friday, the resignation of F.H.Keith as Treasurer was accepted, and Plez James appointed in his stead. The matter of holding a conference between those districts likely to be affected by the Southern Pacific Railroad's petition to be set out of this district discussed, and it was decided not to hold the conference at present, as no policy could be agreed upon except that the railroad cannot be excluded from the district. Should the railroad decide to carry its case into the courts a conference will be held, when a united policy will be formulated and a vigorous stand taken against the corporation. In the mean time all districts will be advised of the state of affairs here and their co-operation asked. The question of Assessor Nebelung's salary was taken up and after discussion it was fixed at $150 for the present year's work. Two years ago he received $450 and last year he was paid $300. The board, in its policy of retrenchment and reform, are of the opinion that he can get along quite well enough on $150. Adjourned to next regular meeting. Talk for Home. Editor Gazette.

Editor Gazette.—Every town that has grown to any importance has done so because the people work to that end. They saw in their town an embryo city. Every improvement received the moral and financial support of the people. Everything that might be taken as a text for social talk, was made to do service for the up-building of the village, and thus held up the hands of authority. To discourage improvements is to tear down. To try to appear wise by offering advice about decisions that have been made by the authorities is to create opposition. Great caution should be used to prevent the forming of factions. All the people should unite in one effort to welcome strangers and assure them that the known hospitality of our citizens is a guarantee that their stay will be a pleasant one among us. Such unannly and unjust expressions as "Oh, there is no enterprise here," "Our town is behind the times," "Few people would spend a dollar for fear others might rapi five," "The town is dead," and other talk in that vein is contagious and soon forms the subject of popular dissatisfaction. Such an epidemia is a blight few towns can survive. Talk for your home and if you cannot stand the methods of the majority move out and let the men who try to build up their village by words and work find out how much they have lost by your removal. We must be united to prosper. In this country the majority sets the line of work we must do. Wm. R. Hanker. Anneloum on the List. Los Angeles Times. Schomes for the irrigation of large tracts of land are numerous just now in Southern California. Pipe lines, flumes, artesian wells, tunnels, dams and reservoirs are being built in every direction. Around Chino, Perris, San Bernardino and Anaheim this is specially noticeable. The amount of wealth that will be added to this section by these water enterprises is immense. The whole face of the country will be changed within a few years. Instead of a few green oases, far apart, the country will be one vast garden, interparsed by a few arid tracts. While this is being accomplished every effort should be made to place irrigation bonds upon such a level that they will be received everywhere as the best of security, which they certainly are. These bonds are security upon the land for $25 per acre. Every well informed man knows that it is very poor irrigated land which does not net a greater annual profit than that. Arctic Beds.
