LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Sepulchral Echoes from the City Council Hall. The Trustees Threaten to Funerate Bennerscheldt for Charging $15 for Doing a Half-Hour's Job at the City Water Works—But He Doesn't Show Up—The Awful Result—Good Target Practice. There was a deep sepulchral tint about the City Council chamber yesterday afternoon when the honorable the City Trustees assembled for their bi-weekly meeting. The arabesque and somber glow that shrouded the entire paraphernalia was indicative of a coming storm. Clerk Nebelung, who horn-swoggled the rooster, but would have the people believe he "shooed" it away in the sandwash, read the minutes of the last regular meeting in a solo voce monotone that was mournfully funereal. His usual deep and impenetrable basso profundo was missing. He seemed expectant momentarily to hear of something like the drop of a dull sickening thud. Mr. Reiser looked solemn, said nothing and listened attentively. Mr. Littlefield appeared in a new straw hat, was in a grave and contemplative mood, and smoked an Havana seco. Mr. Witte frowned menacingly, and looked as though something dreadful was preying upon his mind. Mr. Schindler looked all expectant of the coming storm, and resolute enough to wade into gore a foot deep if necessary to uphold the sacredness of his trust. Anon each one cast furtive glances at the door, as if expectant for some one who did not come. Herr Bennerscheldt was conspicuous by his absence. He was the person apparently whom all his confreres desired to see. Over all there was an air of deep base solennity, relieved here and there with contrale trimmings on the part of the sacreligious Marshal. The flat had gone forth that Herr Bennerscheldt was to be politically innerrated. The solemn occasion was to be one never to be forgotten. Future generations would look back to this meeting and learn how their illustrious forefathers had acted in the time of greatest emergency for the city government. Herr Bennerscheldt had done a half hour's work at the City Water Works one day last in the engine room, and recommends the sinking of other wells for the increase of the water supply. The expense of making the repairs amounts to $136 32. The bills were ordered paid, and the recommendations of the report were made the special order for a meeting to be held at the city water works, to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. The Ordinance Committee read Ordinance No. 69, which was passed. It will be found in our advertising columns. Committee on Deeds reported that deeds had been secured to property for sidewalk purposes on Center street from L. T. Garnsey. Mr. Hart having asked that a connection be made between his now place of business on Los Angeles street and the mains of the city water works, the same was ordered made. F. A. Harndon of Los Angeles, representing the San Francisco Insurance Union, appeared before the board and asked, on behalf of the Union, that the license imposing a tax of $2 per month on insurance agents be rescinded. As the license is imposed at the request of many of the insurance companies, Mr. Harndon's request, after a lengthy debate, was laid on the table. A street lamp was ordered put up on the corner of Broadway and Claudia streets. The matter of the overcharge by Herr Bennerscheldt was called up for action. On motion of Trustee Schindler, Herr Bennerscheldt not having put in his appearance, the investigation was deferred until such time as he could be present. The following bills were allowed: M. Nebelung, telegraphing ... $2 63 H. Schultz, labor ... 15 00 G. Davis, coal oil ... 10 05 M. L. Wetzel, labor ... 6 40 Curtis & Curts, San Francisco, pipe cutting machine ... 85 60 Total ... $129 08 The bill of R. Boettcher, amounting to $3, was referred back, as it was not presented to the honorable board in proper shape. Communication of Mrs. Metz in reference to getting water to irrigate her orange trees, referred to Chairman of Committee on Public Improvements. Adjourned to next regular meeting. Measurement of Water. Just at this time, when many of our people are interested in the measurement of water in the ditches, the following letter from Engineer Kellogg to Staley of the A. U. W. Co. will prove interesting reading: ANAHEIM, Cal., June 16, 1891. Theo. Staley, Supt. A. U. W. Co., I herewith present two formulas for the measurement of water in canals, but will preface the same by saying that they cannot be relied on for accuracy, but will answer for an approximation or for comparison.

Herr Bennerscheidt was conspicuous by his absence. He was the person apparently whom all his confreres desired to see. Over all there was an air of deep base solennity, relieved here and there with contralte trimmings on the part of the sacreligious Marshal. The fiat had gone forth that Herr Bennerscheidt was be politically tunerated. The solemn occasion was to be one never to be forgotten. Future generations would look back to this meeting and learn how their illustrious forefathers had acted in the time of greatest emergency for the city government. Herr Bennerscheidt had done a half hour's work at the City Water Works one day last week and charged the city no less than fifteen dollars for it. That was the cause of the City Fathers' deathlike pallor and awful solemnity. Bennerscheidt had already drawn his money, but it had been given out that the city was entitled to a rebate. A large rebate. This rebate process would have caused an explosion had Bennerscheidt been present. Bennerscheidt had been called to take a bird's eye view of the city water works one day a couple of weeks ago, at the solicitation of Engineer Schneider. The water works were out of order, and Schneider desired Bennerscheidt's advice to the proper method of their rejuvenation. Bennerscheidt looked around, so Schneider says, did nothing or next to nothing, and charged the city fifteen dollars for the job. He was paid two weeks ago, but when the peculiar circumstances of the case were made known, vengeance was vowed against the sanckraut statesman, and it was resolved to subject him to the solemn rights of funeration, the ground to be well tamped down on the mound. So, when the City Fathers assembled yesterday for their meeting, there was a deep, dark, half-blue sepulchral tint fringing their surroundings. But as they say in the drama, let us leave the worthy Councilman and his fifteen dollars to the consideration of their thoughts, let us leave Trustee Littlefield with his new straw hat and his distinguished confreres, while we give attention to other matters, which, though of somewhat less importance, come first in the consideration of the meeting of the honorable the Board of City Trustees. Perhaps in the meantime, too, Bennerscheidt will show up and give the others a chance to begin the circus. The minutes of the last regular meeting were approved. Mr. Witte, Chairman of the Finance Committee, read the following report: To the President and Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim—Your Finance Committee, to whom we referred the various reports of the city officers for the month of June for examination, beg leave to report that they have examined the reports of the Treasurer and Marshal and find them to correspond with the books of the Clerk. As usual, there are a number of delinquents reported, both for license and water, and your committee would respectfully recommend that it be made the imperative duty of the Marshal to collect all monies due to this city, both for license and water, promptly on the first day of each month and that he be instructed to bring suit against all parties each and every month who shall be found delinquent on or after the 10th day of each month. Year committee would further recommend that the Marshal be instructed to punctually, on or before the 1st day of each month, hand in a written report to the City Clerk, showing a complete list of all parties liable to the payment of licenses or water rates; that such lists be made a matter of record by the Clerk and the same to remain. Just at this time, when many of our people are interested in the measurement of water in the ditches, the following letter from Engineer Kellogg to Supt. Staley of the A. U. W. Co. will prove interesting reading: ANAHEIM, CAL., June 16, 1891. Theo. Stailey, Supt. A. U. W. Co.—I herewith present two formulas for the measurement of water in canals, but will preface the same by saying that they cannot be relied on for accuracy, but will answer for an approximation or for comparison. The accuracy will depend in a great measure on the care taken in making measurements and the absence of wind on the surface, etc. To measure water in open canal, take S3 per cent of the surface velocity in feet per second and multiply by the area of the waterway in square feet; the result will be the volume in cubic feet per second, two cubic feet being 100 miner's inches. The mean velocity in feet per second is found by dividing the area in the waterway by net perimeter in feet; multiply this quotient by twice the fall in feet per mile and take the square root of the product; multiply the mean velocity by the area of the waterway in square feet and the result is the volume of discharge in cubic feet per second. H. C. KELLOG. From this our readers can judge of the difficulties of correctly measuring water in the ditches. A simpler rule, and one which Supt. Staley has been using, is to take the square root of the cube of the depth in inches, multiply this by the width in inches and this by 33-100ths, and the result is the number of miner's inches, approximately. What Reciprocity Monos. The full purpose and ultimate significance of the reciprocity programme conceived by Mr. Blaine did not at first reveal themselves to the public mind. Even the commercial and industrial advantages derivable from such a policy were not instantly and clearly appressed. Still less was the political significance of a scheme most capacious ever formed by an American statesman since Thomas Jefferson planned the purchase of Louisiana, at once distinctly recognized. Yet a little reflection must convince us that under the guidance of Secretary Blaine we have entered on a course whose fixed and by no means distant goal is the acquisition for the United States of not only commercial but political ascendency throughout Western Hemisphere. The first decisive step taken toward the unification of France by the States General in 1789 was the abolition of the Internal Custom House, which had walled off one province from another in protracted isolation. The basis of the North German Confederation and its outgrowth, the present German Empire, was firmly laid in the Zollverein, which gradually drew together the States of Germany by the cohesive force of common commercial interests. We may go further and find a still more instructive parallel. The foundations of the rapid and tremendous aggrandizement of the Roman Republic—the Republic whose history presents so many striking points of likeness to our own—were securely laid from the moment that the Roman Senate, having consolidated its power in Italy, began to enter into close commercial relations with the Greek cities of Marseilles and Saguntum in West, and the Greek States of Sicily and with the Etolian and Archae Leagues onthe Eastern shores ofthe Adriatic.Such commercial cooperation inevitably led to an assumption Deputy Shoriff Buck one day last week.

Your committee would further recommend, that the Marshal be instructed to punctually, on or before the 1st day of each month, hand in a written report to the City Clerk, showing a complete list of all parties liable to the payment of license or water rates; that such lists be made a matter of record by the Clerk and the same to remain in his charge for future reference, etc.; that immediately upon the receiving of such list from the Marshal he (the Clerk) to at once make out the necessary receipts, both for license and water, with proper stubs attached and filled in, to number each receipt and stub consecutively, giving also number of book on each receipt. After so filling out said receipts, the Clerk shall charge the said amounts, both license and water, upon his books against the Marshal and thereafter turn said receipts and books over to the Marshal for collection. That it be made the duty of the Marshal to at once proceed to the collection thereof and to return to the custody of the Clerk, not later than the 10th day of each month, all books and receipts uncollected. The books thereafter to remain in the keeping of the Clerk. The Clerk, upon the return of such books and receipts uncollected by the Marshal, shall give him credit for all receipts returned uncollected and shall write upon such receipts in red ink, "Returned by the Marshal," together with the reason why payment was refused. The attention of your committee has also been called to the bill of J. Bennersheidt, handed in at your last meeting, and is informed that the charge of fifteen dollars for labor on pump must certainly be wrong, insomuch as no labor, at least not exceeding one hour, was performed by said J. Bennersheidt; that all labor that was done on the pump was performed by the City Engineer. All of which is respectfully submitted. Wm. A. Witte, Chairman. Mr. Schindler, of the Committee of Public Improvements, reported progress of work on the city water works; also the receipt of a quantity of four-inch pipe for the use of the water mains. The pipe was ordered laid, the work to be under the supervision of Mr. Schindler. The City Engineer was instructed to take a diagram of the route of the pipe, the same to be used for future reference. Jee des Granges submitted his report on the work done at the city water works, showing that the flow of water is very much increased by reason of the recent work. The report advises the putting in of a new boiler Zollverein, which gradually drew together the States of Germany by the cohesive force of common commercial interests. We may go further and find a still more instructive parallel. The foundations of the rapid and tremendous aggrandizement of the Roman Republic—the Republic whose history presents so many striking points of likeness to our own—were securely laid from the moment that the Roman Senate, having consolidated its power in Italy, began to enter into close commercial relations with the Greek cities of Marseilles and Saguntum in the West, and the Greek States of Sicily and with the Erotolian and Archaelogues on the Eastern shores of the Adriatic. Such commercial cooperation inevitably led to an assumption of political hegemony on the part of the strongest nation, and to a more or less willing acquiescence on the part of the weaker people. There is reason to believe that the prospective outcome of this deep policy was discerned from the outset by the leaders of the Roman Senate, which was unquestionably the greatest school of Statescraft the world has seen. Some years will doubtless pass before the Pan-American Zollverein projected by Mr. Blaine is thoroughly compacted and ready for effective operation. The interests of England are, of course, seriously menaced by our programme, and it so happens that many of the South American and Central American Commonwealths have long been accustomed to find in Great Britain a market for their exports and a reciprocal purveyor of their imports. We must expect to find British influence exceptionally powerful and hard to overcome at Buenos Ayres, Montevideo and Valparaiso; but we have already overthrown the age-long commercial supremacy of England in Brazil, in Venezuela, in Porn, in Mexico and Guatemala.—N.

Train leaves Anabeim at 9:09 A.M., returning at 8:06 P.M. This brings a trip to San Diego within reach of everybody and is the chance of a lifetime for a pleasant trip. —During the past week the Santa Fe has shipped out 37 cars of potatoes, making a grand total of 230 carloads of potatoes shipped out on this since May 5th. The road delivers the most of the shipments in Chicago within6 or7 days' time. This time was considered fast for passenger service a couple of years ago. —the third annual vocal and instrumental concert given by Prof. James and his pupils takes place at the Opera-house on Tuesday evening. the entertainment will conclude with a social hop, and ice cream will be served. An entertaining programme will be presented, and a thoroughly enjoyable time will be had. —Next Saturday there will be a foot race at Santa Ana between Tommy Morris of Westminster and Tremone of Los Angeles, for $1,000 a side. Tremaine has been living in Los Angeles for some time past, but is thought to be from the East. Morris is a flyer, and the probabilities are that the race will be a very fine contest. —Cohen's scales are in great demand these days. It requires almost individual attention of a weigher to accommodate the string of wagons loaded with potatoes that are driven into town every day. Mr.Culton, of the syndicate tract south of town, is shipping one thousand wagons loads, and other shippers keep the weigher on the jump. —Two local nimrods put in last week hunting for coyotes, but after tramping over the hills in every direction they came home, hungry, weary and foot sore with parry PERSONAL MELANGE.

J Tobias and H. D. Poonar of San Francisco were guests at the Commercial during the week. Our townsman, C. H. Gosch, was a passenger on the express train which collided with the gravel train at Port Costa one day last week. Mr. Gosch was seated in the tenth car, there being thirteen cars in the train, and was severely shaken up. Immediately after the collision he ran out and leapt his assistance to extinguishing the unfortunates from the debris. That the collision was not attended with great loss of life is almost incredulous. The scene of the collision is an extremely dangerous curve and the waters of the bay come to the embankment near the railroad track. Had the train been pitched into the water the loss of life would have been appalling. Mr. Gosch is to be congratulated on his escape. The Chilean legation at Washington have received a telegram from Peru, saying that when the warship Emmeralda, after its voyage to Acapulco, arrived at the Lobos guano islands, the captain being short of provisions, landed fifty men to take possession of the provisions on the islands. The employees and workingmen in care of the islands attacked the men from the vessel, killing them and taking possession of their arms. The Emmeralda fired eighty shots, exhausting her ammunition. Cosperage. William Fisher has just received a carload of cooprage—barrels, half barrels, etc —to which the attention of his patrons is directed. Attention is directed to the advertisement of Gowen, Eberle & Co., real estate agents and land brokers of Los Angeles. They have a choice list of property for sale and to exchange, and have money to loan. There was no quorum at the meeting at Krooger Hall Saturday evening to make preparations for the celebration of the Glorious Fourth, and the proposed jollification was laid on the shelf this year. By a sweeping cut in the salaries of many city officers, and the abolishing of some others, the City Council of Los Angeles has succeeded in effecting a reduction of about $45,000 in the annual expense of the city government. Read the precautions against Fourth of July fires, printed on the first page this morning. We do not care to have a repatriation of last year's blaze, which came within an age of destroying the entire city. Everybody should take special precautions against fires as the Glorious Fourth approaches. The conference between the Supervisors of the five southern counties, for the purpose of arriving at a uniform valuation for treas and vines, which was held in Los Angeles last week, adopted a schedule of rates for the use of Assessors throughout the State. A full report of the conference will be found printed on the first page. The Anaheim baseball club sent the Fullerton club to grass on the grounds of the latter on Sunday to the exhilarating tune of 33 to 8—great, wann’t it? The Fullerton boys imported the celebrated farmer-pitcher Bass of Artistry to do their pitching, but the way of Anaheim boys hammered the ball and smashed it around the yard made him very, very weary indeed—made him wish he was a popular preacher. In connection with all of the above we are constrained to remark again that meantime we remain the people. This season will be looked back to as the great potato year. It is said the potato crop of Southern California will go $3,090-000 more than the orange crop. Anaheim is keeping up with the procession, and in this immediate vicinity a couple of thousand acres of potatoes are being dug. Potatoes are going out of Anaheim at the rate of about 50 carloads per week, and the whole crop will go upwards of one thousand carloads. The money brought into this section from this crop will amount to a quarter of million of dollars. This is not a boom story, but absolute cold-blooded truth. Looking in at the door of Hart's new saloon to be opened on Los Angeles street, the first thing that takes eye is the large mirror at the back of the bar. Hart tells us this is the largest glass of the kind in any bar-room in Southern California. He ran across it in Los Angeles, and taking his fancy, he secured it at once at a price that would start about twenty "paisano saloons." By way what with the barrel or two of pickled frog legs he secured for his opening day, to say nothing of the roasted chickens in the shell which we are to be treated to, along with the Roman punch and Anaheim beer, such a time will never have been seen in Anaheim. Joe des Granges bad his well-boring outfit at work at the City Water Works last received a telegram from Peru, saying that when the warship Eamaralda, after its voyage to Acapulco, arrived at the Lobos guano islands, the captain being short of provisions, landed fifty men to take possession of the provisions on the islands. The employees and workingmen in care of the islands attacked the men from the vessel, killing them and taking possession of their arms. The Eamaralda fired eighty shots, exhausting her ammunition.

Cool, sparking, healthy Arctic Soda Water from the new fountain at the Gem Pharmacy, Fullerton. If you want the finest flour made in the State try the O. M. Co. "Standard." je19 tf the first thing that takes the eye is the large mirror at the back of the bar. Harr tells us this is the largest glass of the kind in any bar-room in Southern California. He ran across it in Los Angeles, and, taking his fancy, he secured it at once at a price that would start about twenty "paiano saloons." By the way, what with the barrel or two of pickled frog loga he secured for his opening day, to say nothing of the roasted chickens in the shell which we are to be treated to, along with the Roman punch and Anaheim beer, such a time will never have been seen in Anaheim. Joe des Granges bad his well-boring outfit at work at the City Water Works last week, and succeeded in relieving the well of a quantity of sand that had clogged up the bottom and diminished the flow of water. It is the opinion of those about the water works that the bottom of the wellpipe is lodged against a large bowler, and that this will have to be broken and extracted before further operations begin. After cleaning out the sand in the well and chipping off a piece of the bowler, the flow of water was considerably increased, and fourteen feet below the surface it flowed an inch over the mouth of the pipe. City Clerk Nebelung is in receipt of stacks and stacks of letters from capitalists in various parts of the country who express a desire to invest in our city bonds. Singularly enough, the Eastern bond buyers are labering under the impression that we issue $150,000 in bonds, an Associated Press telegram to that effect having been printed several papers in the State. How the telegram came to be distorted so is strangely inexplicable. But we are getting the benefit of the advertising. An architect in a neighboring town, thinking that with bonds aggregating $150,000 we should erect an expansive city hall—of about $100,000 or so—wrote the Clerk saying he should like to furnish plans and specifications for the building. We are gradually getting up in the world, but we issue only $15,000 in bonds this time. Attorney Chynoweth tells the champion fish story. He was irrigating his place on East street at 4 o'clock on Monday morning when his attention was attracted to a splashing in the water in the main ditch. An inspection revealed that the commission was caused by a large fish, about two feet in length, which Chynoweth declares was the finest specimen of the finny tribe it was ever his good luck to see. He determined to secure it. Whether the means taken to get that fish were sportmanlike or not, it matters very little. But Chynoweth proceeded A buccolic youngster of the somewhat classical name of Maggot, who lives with his family on a sheep camp near Artesia, came into this city to see the sights on Monday afternoon, and had the distinction to become transcendently intoxicated. He possessed himself of a policeman's star and a pistol, placed the former conspicuous on the lapel of his duster, and allowed the latter to protrude significantly from his inside coat pocket. He pranced up and down the streets, frightening timid women and small children, and was enjoying himself hugely, imagining himself to be a sure-enough policeman, when Marshal Gade hove in sight, dispassessed the lunatic of his pistol, and vouchaising the information that if he didn't skip out of town immediately it not sooner he would be thrown into the body of the jail, told him to "git." Maggot "preceded to proceed," and has not been seen since. Afternoon Ten. Mrs. Otto Rust entertained her friends at tea yesterday afternoon. A very pleasant time was enjoyed by all.
