THE WEEK'S HAPPENINGS. Shares in the Sugar Factory Coming in Lively. Not far from Two Thousand Shares Subscribed, and Prospects Good for the Required Number to Be Secured in a Couple of Weeks—Other Items City Fathers—Tug of War—The National Game—Rain The fourth of the series of beet sugar meetings to consider the practicability of establishing a sugar factory here was held at Kroeger's Hall on Saturday afternoon. There was a good turnout of farmers, all of whom are taking a lively interest in the enterprise. Less than four weeks have elapsed since our people became acquainted with the manifold advantages of the enterprise, and already two thousand acres have been subscribed. The prospects for the establishment of the factory are the best in the world. Dr. Pfeninger was chairman of the meeting and Max Nebelang secretary. The chairman said he had begun with subscribing for five acres. This he had increased to fifty, and he would make it seventy-five on the least provocation. There had been over 1,100 acres subscribed in Anaheim, and only forty of these required assistance. Garden Grove had six hundred shares, and Westminster, now that the location of the factory had been approximately located, would be good for as many more. Dr. Head of Garden Grove addressed the meeting at some length, saying that if transportation were furnished them they could easily obtain a sufficient number of acres to start the factory. As both the Southern Pacific and the Terminal reads will undoubtedly build to the factory within sixty days after operations on the factory begin, the Doctor's section is reasonably counted upon to furnish its pro rata of the necessary aerage. As a matter of fact, the factory will bring a railroad into the Garden Grove and Westminster country quicker than anything that is at present in sight. Considerable discussion was indulged in about the location of the factory, some contending that that was premature inasmuch as just about two-thirds of the stock had been subscribed; others holding that it was necessary in order to secure more shares in the Garden Grove and Westminster country. The discussion was participated in by Dr. Head, Captain Hilliker, Mr. Hough and CITY FATHERS. THE LAST MEETING OF THE YEAR—BUSINESS TRANSACTED. The Board of City Trustees met yesterday afternoon in adjourned session. Present, Chairman Reiser and Trustees Littlefield, Witte and Pellegrin. Absent, Trustees Schindler, who is confined to his home with grip. The Secretary read the minutes of the last regular meeting, which were approved. In the matter of repairs and improvements at the City Water Works, the matter was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements, of which Trustee Schindler is chairman. As that gentleman was absent from the meeting, nothing further regarding the work was done. No bids having been received for the grading of Center street, the time for opening bids for the work was postponed until the next regular meeting. The advertisement calling for bids for the work will be found elsewhere. The matter of running the street-car track across the sidewalk into Lewis' stable and the placing of a switch from the track into the stable and taking up the old switch at Everharty's stable was called up for discussion. The opinion prevailed that before the changes were made, permission should be obtained from the board. Mr. Steadman appeared before the board and presented his objection to the switch being placed in front of his place of business. The switch, he said, was about to be placed from east to west, and he asked that it be made from west to east, thus taking it away from in front of his place of business. Mr. Melrose, on behalf of Theo Rimpau, President of the Street Car Company, appeared before the board and asked permission for making the change. The company desired that the switch be made from west to east. Permission was granted, the switch to run from west to east, and the work to be done under the supervision of the City Engineer. Adjourned to the next regular meeting. SUGAR BEET CULTURE AND SUGAR MANUFACTURE. EDITOR GAZETTE. Being informed that the farmers of your vicinity are about to enter into the raising of sugar beets for the purpose of manufacturing the same into sugar, I take the liberty of giving your readers a few points in regard to this industry, having always the welfare and success of Southern California at heart, and being interested in the manufacture of sugar wherever carried on. One of the first beet-sugar manufactories in Rhineland, Germany, was the "Rhenische Action Gasellschaft" of Cologne. When this company was organized all the stockholders knew what that soil Considerable discussion was indulged in about the location of the factory, some contending that it was premature inasmuch as just about two-thirds of the stock had been subscribed; others holding that it was necessary in order to secure more shares in the Garden Grove and Westminster country. The discussion was participated in by Dr. Head, Captain Hilliker, Mr. Hough and Mr. Beckett of Garden Grove, and the chairman and Messrs. Jones, Snyder, Rimpau, Gade, G. A. Hunter, Everharty, Crowley and others of this city. The consensus of opinion was to the effect that the factory would be located between Anaheim and Garden Grove, as indeed it could be nowhere else. The site will be where the bulk of the acreage lies, and this of necessity will be between this city and Garden Grove. A committee was finally appointed, consisting of Messrs. Littlefield, Everharty and Minor, to meet with the Garden Grove committee, consisting of Messrs. Jones, Bockott and Townsend, and the Westminster committee, whose names were not learned for the purpose of locating an approximate site. After opening up the lists and receiving several new signers for stock, the meeting adjourned to meet again at the same place next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mr. Capitain was unable to attend the meeting, owing to an attack of the grip, which has kept him to his bed for a week past. He is recovering, and is expected to be present at Saturday's meeting. The committee on site met at Kellogg's corner on Monday morning at 9 o'clock, and after looking over the ground decided that the territory within which the factory will be located, should extend from the Kellogg corner a mile and a half north and south and a mile east and west. This takes in sections 20 and 21 and the south half of sections 16 and 17. The selection isominently satisfactory to the Garden Grove and Westminster people. One of the Westminster committeemen stated that his section would be good for 800 acres by next Saturday night. The Southern Pacific Railroad, through their agent, Mr. Darling, make the assurance that a specially low rate will be made to all those raising beets for the factory, and that further concessions will be made. The company hold themselves ready to lay a spur from their main track to the factory, inside of thirty days after work on the buildings shall be commenced. There is a section of some three hundred acres of land a couple of miles south of town that is especially adapted to beets, the owners of which are desirous of taking stock in the factory, but cannot raise the necessary ten per cent of the capital stock. This financial disability will be removed by our liberal-spirited citizens, who stand ready to advance them the required amount. Mr. Jones has been added to the Executive Committee. The selection is a very good one. There should be a large attendance at the meeting next Saturday afternoon. LATEST REPORTS. Last evening the Executive Committee furnished the information that two thousand acres had been subscribed altogether, and that prospects were good for the securing of the remainder in ten days. The committee are working with a will EDITOR GAZETTE.—Being informed that the farmers of your vicinity are about to enter into the raising of sugar beets for the purpose of manufacturing the same into sugar, I take the liberty of giving your readers a few points in regard to this industry, having always the welfare and success of Southern California at heart, and being interested in the manufacture of sugar wherever carried on. One of the first beat-sugar manufactures in Rhineland, Germany, was the "Rheinische Action Gesellshaft" of Cologne. When this company was organized all the stockholders knew was that the soil around Cologne was well adapted to the culture of the beet, which yielded from 10 to 14 per cent of sugar. But they were very uncertain whether they could induce the farmers to raise the beets for them. Many of your readers, being German, know that a German farmer does not approve of changes made in the routine of his work which he probably inherited from his father, his father from his forefather and so forth for generations. Therefore the idea of raising sugar beets was not well received. It was argued that the best culture would ruin the soil and many a landowner thereafter would insert in the contract with his tenant that sugar-beet raising was forbidden! Only very few farmers could be persuaded to enter into an agreement with the factory to raise beets for them though good prices were offered. My father and his brother were about the first landowners who signed a contract for a large acreage of beets and were considerably ridiculed for so doing. The company was then obliged to raise the beets themselves. As they did not have near land enough to do so, they leased from large landowners at enormous prices. They paid for land, which brought them from $3 to $5 per acre per year, as high as $15; they either put an overseer on these farms or sublease the land at very low figures, but made the renter plant about one-third of all the land to beets, expecting to make the profit out of the manufacture of sugar. In other words, a large sum of money was lost in securing beet land and raising the beets, which loss, however, they made good through the gain on the sugar. The factory flourished even under such unfavorable circumstances. Other factories were built by the same company, and it seemed that all, producer as well as manufacturer, were equally benefited. Prices of boot land raised from $150 to $300 per acre. The land was better taken care of than formerly, for the farmers received more money than they ever had before. They could buy steers or sheep, fatten them on the refuse from the factory, of which refuse 25 to 33 per cent of the weight of each man's beets was given to him free of charge, providing a certain acreage was guaranteed and contracted for. Under such farming the crop of grain, raised after the beets, would yield more to the acre than before and the cry that sugar-beet raising was rainy to the land proved to be erroneous. Farmers commenced to work their soil intelligently, alternating between grain and bulbous crops. Of course I wish to say right here, the fertilizing part, to replace the substances taken by the different crops from the land, is one of the main factors in success. Now there is a sugar factory in nearly every village in Rhineland, the factories being generally stock companies composed of the farmers themselves. I am glad to hear that the farmers of your vicinity wish to establish the factory as a stock company and only borrow the money, which is offered to them at 7 per cent, for the biggest profit in this industry lies in the ten per cent of the capital stock. This financial disability will be removed by our liberal-spirited citizens, who stand ready to advance them the required amount. Mr. Jones has been added to the Executive Committee. The selection is a very good one. There should be a large attendance at the meeting next Saturday afternoon. LATEST REPORTS. Last evening the Executive Committee furnished the information that two thousand and acre had been subscribed altogether, and that prospects were good for the securing of the remainder in ten days. The committee are working with a will and the Chairman, Dr. Pleninger, lets no "gnilty man escape." We think the doctor is good for a hundred shares. Mr. Krooger heads the list of subscribers with 100 shares, Messrs. Jones, Colton and Pleninger have fifty each, Mr. Meredith has thirty, and there is a long string of twenty-five-acre subscribers. Everybody attend the meeting on next Saturday. Denth of John Adams. John Adams, who had lived in Anaheim for upwards of twenty years, died after a brief illness at his residence on Walnut street at midnight Wednesday of last week. He was a native of Londonderry, Ireland, and was aged 77 years, 7 months and 6 days. He came to Anaheim in the early days, and went into the blacksmithing business, running his shop where Lewis' stable new stands. In later years he had taken to horticulture, and owned a very fine orchard on Walnut street. His wife, whom he had not seen since coming to this city, and who resides near Modesto, was telegraphed to and she came to attend the funeral. She is aged 72 years, and is spoken of as a most amiable and accomplished lady. Long ago the couple agreed to separate, and for many years after Adams came to Anaheim no one knew that he was married. He carried his secret with him well, but to his intimate friends he spoke of his family, and always in the highest terms of praise of them. His property interests here and in Stanislaus county, where he resided previous to coming here, are large. When one night last week, it was known that he could not recover, he sent for an attorney and made his will, leaving all his property to his wife. Thus passes away one whom all old Anaheimers remember as a kind-hearted old gentleman, whose virtues were written in brass and his foibles in water. Peace to his ashes. LATEST REPORTS.

It is a wonderful family event; each one of them plays from one to a dozen instruments, while in the descriptive piece "the sleighing party," Bertha throws in extra one to make good measure, actually playing on thirteen different instruments during the one place. This little girl is coated with most any instrument, can sing well, and above the average, and in the "Dress Hatade, Inspection and the Charge," she causes the audience. The saxophone quintet mandolin quartette, and the ocarina trumpet were also pleasing numbers in the olio. The musical absurdity, "A Quick Match," contained plenty of fun and closed a very enjoyable entertainment. It is not a compass with one star and a lot of wooden men and women for support, but every member of the family is an artist. -Max Nebelung's crop of pampas plums have been shipped to Germany; via New York leans and fills fifty cases of 200 pounds each making two carloads. The freight on the consignment to New Orleans amounts $350. Thence the plumes go by water to Hamburg at an additional cost of perhaps $150, and thence to their destination in the interior of the Fatherland at a cost of $ more. Thus the freight charges will go at least $550. It is a long way to ship, but Max says there is money in the business. Loads the plumes f.e.b. in Anaheim, there all his liability ceases. -While the steamship Corona was crossing the San Francisco bar on her up trip last week, J.C.Bailley, a brother to W.K., and Charles A.Bailley of the Olinda ranch was washed overboard and drowned. He has taken passage at San Diego with his nephews a lad of a dozen years. At the time of his accident he was standing on deck with his boy, when he was washed overboard by wave that swept the deck. The sea was very rough at the time, and it is a miracle that he escaped. No trace of the drowning man could be found, and the body was not recovered. The Glorious Rain. Rain began falling shortly after midnight Wednesday, and at 9 o'clock yesterday morning the precipitation at the Southern Pacific depot was .98 of an inch.

The crew will be a large one this year, but no close estimates have been received. Fatal Railroad Accident at Santa Ana. A terrible railroad accident happened at Santa Ana Sunday evening, by which two men lost their lives. The accident occurred on the Santa Fe road, just as the 4:14 overland and Los Angeles local trains were entering the city. The victims were W. B. Garlock and Samuel Rogers. They were driving from Orange to Santa Ana. The two trains, pulled by the overland engine from Orange to Santa Ana, passed them just before the crossing this side of the city was reached. A local engine followed the train a short distance behind. It was not seen by the occupants of the buggy until they started across the track. At that time the engine was almost upon them, and just as they were fairly on the track the engine struck them, making a total wreck of the buggy and hurling both men to the ground on each side of the track. Both men were gathered up and taken to the depot, where medical assistance was summoned. Garlock died on a blanket in the baggage room at 5:15. Rogers was removed to his mother's home on Fearth street, where he died at 8:30. Rogers' skull was crushed back of the forehead. He was 25 years of age, a harnessmaker by trade and had lived at Santa Ana for several years. Both were buried on Tuesday. Garlock was formerly a resident of Anaheim, having been employed in the livery business here by Lewis & Waffle. He was 42 years old, and had likely been employed in the Brunswick bar. DEATHS.

Interment at Anaheim Cemetery. A verdict in the condemnation suit of the city of Santa Ana vs. George E. Minter, condemning a strip of land for the opening up of Second street, 60 feet wide by 750 feet long, and extending from West street to Ross street, was rendered Saturday evening in the sum of $1,500. A board of commissioners appointed by the city several months ago to appraise the land through which the street would run, assessed the damage at $325, and the verdict of the jury is said to be a surprise to many. It is reported that the city will take the case into the higher courts.
