LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK City Trustees Pass the Election Ordinance. The Election Comes on April 11th—Election Board Appointed — Our Hall Tossers Beat Los Angeles Again — Nightwatchman Crandall Skips — Personal Mention—Triple S Club. The Honorable the Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon, Chairman Reiser and Trustees Littlefield, Witte, Pellogrin and Schindler present. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular and special meetings, which were approved. The Finance Committee reported that they had examined the books of the Treasurer, Clerk and Marshal and found them all correct, with the exception of a clerical error in the Marshal's report, amounting to fifty cents. The same was ordered corrected. The Committee on Public Improvements reported work completed on the streets; also in references to street lamps, sidewalks, and water pipes. The Chairman of the Committee on Public Improvements was instructed to cut down the oppress hedge on Center street, below West, in conformity to the proposition made by Mr. Spencer, and so lay a sidewalk on the premises. The city cuts down the hedge, Mr. Spencer gets the wood and he gives the city a deed to the property. The matter of the grading of that part of Center street below West, now occupied by a water ditch, was discussed and the rights of the city and the Water Company called up for consideration. The proposition of the Water Company to pipe the ditch, the city to pay half the expense, was deferred to some time in the future. Dr. Bullard appeared before the Board and asked permission to change the location of his stable from Chartres street west to the rear of his property. The building is in the fine limits. As the moving will not endanger property in the neighborhood, and the Doctor promises to paint the stable and improve that part of the lot which it vacates, the request was granted. The ordinance granting a franchise to the Western Union Telegraph Company to maintain their poles and wires in this city was deferred until a future date. The Clerk read the certificates of nominees that the temperature will be one or more degrees higher than at the time of observation, and cooler, colder, falling temperature, etc., indicates that the temperature will be one or more degrees lower. THE NATIONAL GAME. OUR BALL TOSSERS BEAT THE LOS ANGELES PROFESSIONALS AGAIN. The story will go something like this: We beat them again. Six to threes. We beat Deacon Darby, Cousin McAloe, Leland and his suit, a handsome young man in red knee pants answering to the name of Meyers with a Denver uniform on, a penny battery, "Husky" Young and a miscellaneous aggregation of ball players from the distant land of the Angels, over the hills and far away. All last Sunday afternoon at the home club's ball grounds over by the caravansary Campo Del. Our boys may eat sourkraut—that's all right—and the peat land lads may have bayseeds in their whiskers, but when it comes to playing ball, we get a hustle on—we get a hustle on—we go for everything in sight, we play the string out, and we win every time from Los Angeles. See? We are the people. We knocked the Angels out Sunday week 4 to 3. Last Sunday we made it 6 to 3. And when they come down again we'll make it 100 to 3—are you with us? The Angels had a new pitcher with them, but they weren't in it. They also imported their own ampire, Mr. Rappold, with the accent on the pold, and he was with them every time. But he did the beat he could, poor man. It was the first time he had umpired in twelve years, and he says he will never do it again if he lives to be forty years old. His apology is accepted. The features of the game were Mefford's running catch of a high foul over the backstop wall, the work of both men at short, Mallett's pitching and Mefford's tired feeling in the morning. The game was a good one, full of rattling good plays and full of ginger from the start. It was marred, however, in the second inning, when Charley Farrell, left fielder for Los Angeles, had the misfortune to break his left leg as he collided with Pitcher Mallett at first base. The unfortunate player was taken to the Commercial Hotel and his injuries attended to. "Husky" Young took his place, and the game went on. THE GAME. Umpire Rappold called game at 2 o'clock. The home team wore at bat with Big Joe Mefford up. Joe is a bad man with the bat. He has a bad eye. When the Los Angeles twirler gave him a nice one, Joe swiped it for a single down toward third. Leland tried for it, but he muffled it, and Joe kept right along toward next Saturday. Los Angeles cisco play the opening gation will attend there the peat lands. Mallett struck out be given a chance to hit in Los Angeles what he There were 800 people twenty-five cents ap charged if the ground would turn in $200 for go a long way toward of the grounds. Charley Farrell was morning on the Tusti who had been here went with him. Ch well for a boy who three places, and the accident. We hope he The boys have recorde Los Angeles to play game to take place in team Captain Leland us is: Menefee, c.; first; MoAleer, second short; Cashman, left; Ross, right. Not these against, by any men have a chance to play how. PERSONAL Ben Dresses has taker store. Clark Minor has bidence several days with Albert Smith and drove over to Ontario E. B.

Water Company to pipe the ditch, the city to pay half the expense, was deferred to some time in the future. Dr. Bullard appeared before the Board and asked permission to change the location of his stable from Chartres street west to the rear of his property. The building is in the fine limits. As the moving will not endanger property in the neighborhood, and the Doctor promises to paint the stable and improve that part of the lot which it vacates, the request was granted. The ordinance granting a franchise to the Western Union Telegraph Company to maintain their poles and wires in this city was deferred until a future date. The Clerk read the certificates of nominees for offices as required by law. The same were filled. The Clerk was instructed to have 500 tickets printed in conformity with the law. The Ordinance Committee reported the ordinance calling for the city election. The ordinance was adopted. Theo. Rimpau and F. D. Brown were appointed Inspectors of the election; F. A. Korn and O. V. Knowlton Judges, Ralph Blair and Joseph Des Granges clerks, and A. L. Lewis and F. C. Smythe ballot clerks. The advertisement of the ordinance will be found in another column.

Dresses will continue the photograph gallery until next Monday evening, when he will close it preparatory to taking his departure for his home in Kansas City. Mr. Dresses consented to open the gallery for a few weeks, at the earnest solicitation of his friends, who desired to have photographs made during his stay here. He came on a visit to his parents, and little expected to be called on to go to work while here. But he consented, more on account of showing what he could do than for the monetary consideration connected with it, and we must say that seldom have we seen better work. His gallery in Kansas City is one of the most noted in the locality, and he enjoys a very large and lucrative business. He returns, accompanied by his wife and child, by way of San Francisco, in a few days. Neither one of the family has ever been upon the water, and Mr. Dresses looks forward with lively anticipation to their experiences on shipboard. We hope they may have a pleasant trip and reach their home in safety. Crandall Skips. Nightwatchman Crandall skipped the town. This interesting society event occurred last Saturday evening. Before he went he borrowed $5 from Baker Kistler, promising to pay him in an hour. He also took a pistol and a watch which Dominick Liob had generously allowed him to carry for a week or so. Crandall tried to dispose of the watch before he left town, and attempted to get Ernest Bantz to endorse a note on the bank for $55. This however Ernest refused to do. Crandall owes various bills around town for "liquor," cigars and board. A warrant was sworn out for his arrest on a charge of "beating" his hotel bill, but he has not yet been apprehended. Crandall came here from Norwalk a month or so ago, and after his appointment as nightwatchman was quite well thought of by many of our citizens. He had been drinking Saturday, and left town enveloped in a dark-brown jag. Umpire Rappold called game at 2 o'clock. The home team wore at bat with Big Joe Mefford up. Joe is a bad man with the bat. He has a bad eye. When the Los Angeles twirler gave him a nice one, Joe swiped it for a single down toward third. Lelandie tried it, but he muffled it, and Joe kept right along toward second. Lelandie threw to McAleer, but Joe was safe on a peat slide. Wallcott got down to business and struck Lelandie before Koerner and Magoffin out. The game. Peters hit to right for a bag, but James was assisted out directly afterward, Wallecott to McCrea. The visitors went out in one, two, three order. McAleer was out on first, F.Mallett to Poters. Deacon Darby flow to Koerner's bosom and Meyers was out by Poters getting the ball to first ahead of him. Wallcott struck J.Mallett out. Then Sport Wetzel went to bat. He mussed his third strike. The ball was over his head. Rockwell couldn't get it, and Sport went down to first in a double canter. He stole second on the first ball pitched. F.Mallett hit to center for a single, and Sport ashayed down to third. Charley Mallett then picked up his wagon-tongue, and smashed the ball into a buoch of hits for a triple socker to deep left field, Sport and F.Mallett coming home. Mefford hit a corker to right for a single, and Magoffin, who ran for C.Mallett, came in. Wallcott tried to catch Mefford napping at first, and throw the ball over McCrea's head. Joe went to second, then turned into the lane toward third. McAleer got the ball, but throw wild to Lelandie and Joe came home on a peat land glide. Koerner and Magoffin struck out. Four runs, and everybody yelling. Long singled to left, and Mallett sent Lelandie to first on balls. While Rockwell was engaged in being struck out, Long and Lelandie advanced a base. Wallcott hit to right for a single, Long and Lelandie scoring. Then the only bad feature of the game occurred. Charley Farrell, as gentlemanly a ball player as ever stepped to the plate, met with an accident that will confine him to his bed for many weeks. Charley struck the ball past first for what looked like a bit. Peters ran for it and F.Mallett ran to cover the bag. An instant after Mallett received the ball from Peters on the put out, Farrell ran past the base, his left leg looking in Mallett's. There was a cracking sound, and Farrell fell to the ground with a cry of pain, exclaiming, "Oh, my leg is broke!" Dr. Bullard was present, and attended the unfortunate player. The broken leg was bandaged in a pillow, and Farrell was driven to the Commercial Hotel. His leg was found to be broken in three places above the ankle. His mother was telegraphed to, and she arrived on the evening train from Los Angeles. Meanwhile the game went on, Husky Young taking Farrell's place. McCrea was put out at first by Peters. Nothing done in the third. In the fourth F.Mallett scored for the home nine, and the visitors went out in one, two, three order. In the fifth Peters scored, and in the seventh Rockwell scored for the visitors. Nothing was done after this, the Angels being unable to overcome the large majority when Charley Farrell left field for Los Angeles, had the misfortune to break his left leg as he collided with Pitcher Mallett at first base. The unfortunate player was taken to the Commercial Hotel and his injuries attended to. "Husky" Young took his place, and the game went on. THE GAME. Umpire Rappold called game at 2 o'clock.

This however Ernest refused to do. Crandall owes various bills around town for "liquor," cigars and board. A warrant was sworn out for his arrest on a charge of "beating" his hotel bill, but he has not yet been apprehended. Crandall came here from Norwalk a month or so ago, and after his appointment as nightwatchman was quite well thought of by many of our citizens. He had been drinking Saturday, and left town enveloped in a dark-brown jag. Triple & Guesses. Following are some of the guesses received in response to the invitation to guess the meaning of the mystic Triple S with which the young ladies have chosen to designate their leap year social club. Here is variety for you: "Sour Sturdy Suppers," "Stylish Sincere Stens," "Sweet Sublimate Saplings," "Sabtite Sobbing Saints," "Submissive Smiling Sweetness," "Stont Substantial Spinners," "Successful Society Sisters," "Silly Surmizing Sinners," "Systematical Smiling Smilers," "Sad Starn Sympathizers," "Stiff Savage Spiders," "Silvery Spicy-Sweets, Sliced Sweetness Seasoned," "Soft Soap Society," "Snapping Sour Spinators," "Stage Strunk Swells," "Saucy Scheming Scholars," "Seventeen Selected Spring chickens," "Swift Soothing Syrup," "Spilt Strippod Sardines," "Superfluous Superexcellence Superiority." Definitions of Forecasts. The following definition of terms used in the forecasts for the Weather Bureau is furnished by the Chief of Division at San Francisco: Rain, general rain, scattering rains, local rains, etc., indicate that .01 inches or more rain will fall during the period for which rains have been forecasted. Fair, generally fair, etc., indicate that no appreciable rain will fall, but such terms do not indicate that there will be no cloudiness or fog. A day may be either cloudy or foggy and yet be fair, in the sense that the term is used by the Weather Bureau. Clearing weather indicates that rain may fall but will be followed by fair weather. Slight temperature changes, stationary temperature, or absence of a temperature forecast, indicates that there will be less than a difference of six degrees from the maximum or minimum temperature of the observation on which the forecast was based. If the afternoon forecasts are used the difference applies to the maximum temperature; if the foreseen is used it applies to the minimum temperature. Warmer, slightly warmer, etc., indicates fortunate player. The broken log was bandaged in a pillow, and Farrell was driven to the Commercial Hotel. His leg was found to be broken in three places above the ankle. His mother was telegraphed to, and she arrived on the evening train from Los Angeles. Meanwhile the game went on. Husky Young taking Farrell's place. McCrea was put out at first by Peters. Nothing was done in the third. In the fourth F. Mallett scored for the home nine, and the visitors went out in one, two, three order. In the fifth Peters scored, and in the seventh Rookwell scored for the visitors. Nothing was done after this, the Angels being unable to overcome the large majority which the home talent rolled up in the second innning. The unfortunate accident to Charley Farrell affected the players with depression. The game went on in a spirited manner, however, and Mefford's running catch of a foul tip behind the backstop wall, running around the wall and getting the ball before the cranks could realize what he was about, was as pretty as play as one could wish to see. The following is the diagram of the difficulty: ANAHEIM AB R BH SH PO A E Meford c 5 1 8 0 0 1 0 Koerner rf 5 0 0 0 1 0 Magoffin 3d b 4 0 0 1 0 Peters 1st b 3 1 0 19 1 James lf 4 0 0 1 0 1 Mallett J, 2d b 4 0 1 2 0 Wetzel cf 3 1 0 2 0 Mallett F, p 4 1 0 2 0 Mallett C, ss 4 1 3 0 2 3 Total 33 0 10 78 0 Los Angeles AB R BH SH PO A E McAloeer, 2d b 4 0 0 2 1 Darby, cf 4 0 0 1 0 Meyers rf 4 0 0 0 1 Long as 4 1 2 x1 Lelandle, 3d b 3 1 x1 Rockwell, c 4 1 x2 Wallcott, p 4 1 x2 Young lf 3 x2 McCrea, lst b 3 x2 Total 33 37 0 27 4 RUNS BY INXINGS.

The local cranks never had such fun since Crandall skipped the town. Ball Grank.—No, the name of the Los Angeles club is not the Tough Lyons. It is Tufts Lyons. See? Darby goes to Omaha to pitch. Everybody in Anaheim wishes him the fullest measure of success. The league season opens in Los Angeles next Saturday. Los Angeles and San Francisco play the opening game. Quite a delegation will attend the game from here and the peat lands. Mallett struck out eleven men. He may be given a chance to show the league people in Los Angeles what he can do in the box. There were 800 people at the game. At twenty-five cents apiece, which would be charged if the grounds were enclosed, this would turn in $200 for the game. That would go a long way toward paying for the fencing of the grounds. Charley Farrell was taken home Tuesday morning on the Tustin train. His mother, who had been here since Sunday evening, went with him. Charley behaved pretty well for a boy who had his leg broken in three places, and the trip was made without accident. We hope he will soon be out again. The boys have received a challenge from Los Angeles to play for $100 a side, the game to take place in Los Angeles. The team Captain Lelande wants to play against us is: Menefee, c.; Moody, p.; Rappold, first; McAleer, second; Lelande, third; Long, short; Cashman, left; Darby, center, and Ross, right. Not the same time we played against, by any means, but Lelande may have a chance to play them against us, anyhow. BASEBALL CRANK. PERSONAL MELANGE. Ben Dresses has taken a position in Lyon's store.

Schoaum gave him a dollar, which he spent for drink, and toward evening he was found in the weeds on Claudina street, near Center, in a fit, and was revived, and picked up and taken to a restaurant, where he was given something to eat and a place to lay down. He was last seen Tuesday evening, when he was probably making his way out of town. "Some time ago," says the Anaheim correspondent of the Times, "there was considerable controversy in the papers as to whether the fig tree 'bloomed' or not. Scientists claimed that there could be no fruit without first a blossom; divinies quoted from the Bible certain passages where reference was made to the 'blossom of the fig tree,' while practical orchardists claimed that the fruit appeared and developed directly from the branches. It is an interesting question, and observant people now have the opportunity of deciding it for themselves, as the fig trees are just putting forth their buds." Fig growers inform us that the blossom of the fig forms inside the fruit after the fruit appears upon the branch of the tree. Now is a good time to watch this interesting horticultural problem.
