HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK A Circus Man's Life Is Not a Happy One. The Majesty of the Law—Republican County Convention—Echoes from the 3rd Sea Waves—and the Springs—The Water Company—Correspondence from Our Neighbors. The breaking up of the "International Railroad Shows" in this city last Wednesday evening proves that the life of a circus man is not a happy one. Pomeroy, the manager of the show, proved himself to be a double-dyed villain, and some sixteen or seventeen circus people whom he left in the lurch and who had gone without their salaries for several weeks, mourn his unceremonious departure, which was taken in this wise: After the show Tuesday night the tents and circus paraphernalia were placed upon the care, and everything looked as if the circus would "pull out" on Wednesday evening's freight. The receipts for Tuesday night were $250, and besides this Pomeroy is said to have had $1,000 in his pocket. As the freight pulled into the depot, the entire company being on the platform preparatory to leaving, Pomeroy, with a pistol in his hand, announced that "This circus busts up right here," and ordered all baggage removed from the train. The circus people reluctantly removed their effects, and Pomeroy with two others boarded the train, which shortly pulled out for the north. The show people offered to buy tickets out, but this the railroad company refused to do, claiming it was against their rules. Many of those left behind had no money and the outlook was not pleasant. Pomeroy is said to have gone to Colton, where he had his outfit attached to the Selle' circus train, and is now in all probability in Texas, his objective point being San Antonio. The stranded players spent the night in the depot warehouse and in box cars. They were a sorry looking lot, and much sympathy was extended them. On Thursday evening they gave a performance at Kroeger's Hall, at which about $60 was taken in. They left for Los Angeles on Friday, some of them vowing vengeance on Pomeroy when they meet again. Pomeroy's trick was a dastardly piece of business, and he should be made to suffer for it. He had paid no sale to purchase ten barrels of cement to construct concrete gates and troughs. Directors Rust, Amerige and Strain were appointed a committee to examine into the matter of securing a reservoir site. Director Amerige was added to the Litigation Committee. Adjourned. Republican County Convention. The Republican County Convention met at Santa Ana on Saturday afternoon and elected seven delegates to the State and Congressional Conventions, as follows: At large, Capt. Wrede of Yorba and J. S. Pitman of Santa Ana; First Supervisor District, C. E. French of Santa Ana; Second Supervisor District, E. S. Wallace of Santa Ana; Third Supervisor District, H. K. Small of Olive; Fourth Supervisor District, H. G. Jacobs of Orange; Fifth Supervisor District, M. A. Foster of Capistrano. The State Convention meets at Sacramento on Tuesday next, and the Congressional Convention at Merced next Monday. The delegates go instructed for W. W. Bowers for Congress. Seven delegates were also elected to the Thirty-ninth Senatorial District Convention, to meet at ninth time and place yet to be determined, as follows: At large, W. M. Scott of Orange and W. K. Robinson of Trabuca; First Supervisor District, Tom Hall of Santa Ana; Second, Josiah McCoy of Westminster; Third, Charley Norman of Anaheim; Fourth W. G. McPherson of McPherson; Fifth, J. W. Ballard of Tatlin. The Thirty-ninth Senatorial District is composed of the counties of Orange and San Bernardino, and will nominate a candidate for State Senator to represent us instead of Senator McComas of Pomona, who is now in another district. The nomination has been conceded to this county, although San Bernardino will have a large majority in the convention. The candidates mentioned for the office are F. G. Ryan of this city, Supervisor Armor of Orange, Gen. Pierce of Garden Grove, Seip Craig of Redlands and E. W. Holmes of Riverside. The two latter gentlemen, it is believed, will decline to run. The date and place of holding the convention has not yet been determined upon. What's the matter with having it in Anaheim? We are in the center of the district, have excellent accommodations and unurpassed rail connections. W. W. Bowers goes to the Merced convention with the votes of Orange, San Diego and San Bernardino counties pledged to him. He is still short three or four votes, which however he expects to rustle up in the north. There has been some talk of a north county man to represent us, but it is not known how the agitation will pan out. By the Sad Sea Waves.

Johnny Harter came over from the classic shades of Orange last Sabbath afternoon, and at candle lighting had made a conspicuous success of his efforts to afflict himself jag-wise. He acquired quite comfortable load, and forthwith announced his purpose of running the town, meanwhile applying sundry opprobrious epithets to various citizens as a reminder of the fact that he was in town and would paint things red. Johnny was having a sociable time, when Marshal Steadman hove in sight and collared him. Johnny was escorted to the city hostile, where a coil was placed at his disposal for the night, the city paying the expenses. Two or three hours later one of his friends, hearing of his plight, hailed him out with the aid of ten solid dollars of the realm. Johnny promised to attend Judge Pierce's seance on Monday morning in person and listen to the lecture, but failed to do so, and his bail was declared forfeited. It will be turned into the town treasury, and will go to improving the streets and other appurtenances of the town. Senor Jose Antonio James (pronounced harness), Senior Miguel Capistrano and Senior Juan Soto, three palonos of bibulous tendencies, proceeded to celebrate the Sabbath in a manner not in keeping with the peace and quiet of the citizens of this destined-to-be big railroad center. They waxed merry in the convivial glass, bubbling over with hilarity and vino tinto, and harassing the drowsy ear of night with mirth and a choice collection of cuss-words. Came along Marshal Steadman, and, with the aid of a posse, succeeded in landing them in the calaboose. Monday morning Squire Pierce administered a slight reprimand and slapped on a fine five dollars and a half each, just to make it interesting. The fine was paid, and the three Senors, sadder but wiser men, salihed forth, exhaling a faint odor of chile con carne and jag materials. Anaheim Water Company. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company met in regular session on Saturday. In the matter of the stock of W. F. Foos, Director Amorige reported that he had seen Jake Yager about it, and there were The camp at the Landing is already taking on a lively appearance and gives evidence of becoming a very fashionable resort during the summer season. Already several families are comfortably enclosed in cottages and tents, and the begira to the sea-side has just begun. Among the new arrivals are the families of H. Cahen, A. L. Lewis, Charley Albrecht and George Bauer. With them are the families of Colonel Tuf-free, Coroner Ey, Mr. and Mrs. Hack and family, Mrs. Roberts and family and Mr. and Mrs. Wallop and family. Bathing is indulged in every day and every one seems to be giving himself and herself over to having a good time while the warm weather lasts. Dr. Paschall's brother, lately arrived from the East, has made arrangements to open a butcher shop and will keep the campers supplied with choice cuts to mix up with their fish diet. Prof. Frantz will establish a barber shop at the beach, and will install Otto Hussman as chief razor wielder. Mr. Wallop conducts a general supply store, and keeps constantly on hand a full supply of goods he calculates his customers will call for. Kiatler has opened a branch bakery and will have on hand a choice collection of bread, pies and cakes. Louis Bolz does all in his power to make things pleasant for everybody and generally makes a conspicious success of it. Altogether the Landing is a very happy place to put in once these hot days, and it is probable the beach will be attended by a larger crowd this season than ever before. From the Springs. The following letter from the Anaheim boys at the San Juan hot springs details the harrowing experiences of their trip south. In the party are Charley Wommer, John Schanman, Ralph Blair and Henry Strodthoff—all cranks, whose experiences are herewith set forth in detail: Hot Springs, June 18th. Editor Gazette. — Thinking that you may be worrying about our safety, we take this means and liberty of informing you of our safe arrival at the springs at 9:46 A.M. sharp this morning. After leaving town our journey was very pleasant until we reached Tustin, when our religious crank was suddenly seized with the idea that he wanted a cigar; but he was politely informed that it was Sunday and it was injurious to smoke on Sunday; so we quietly journeyed on. On passing through the San Joaquin our next misfortune was the loosening of the legs of our moral crank's cot. Next we had a French dinner under a bridge two miles beyond El Toro, after which we proceeded to San Juan, whereupon our religious crank immediately proceeded to the Express office for one of his shoes, which had been left in Anaheim; but the shoe could not be gotten until he was refused to do, claiming it was against their rules. Many of those left behind had no money and the outlook was not pleasant. They were a sorry looking lot, and much sympathy was extended them. On Thursday evening they gave a performance at Kroeger's Hall, at which about $60 was taken in. They left for Los Angeles on Friday, some of them vowing vengeance on Pomeroy when they meet again. Pomeroy's trick was a dastardly piece of business, and he should be made to suffer for it. He had paid no salaries for several weeks, had over a thousand dollars with him, and crowned his infamies by compelling the advance agent, who was also press agent, to sell lemonade in the circus. The circus people say he will start another show in Texas and work east. Two of the members of the stranded band, who are very fine musicians, were approached by members of our city band, and inducements held out to them to remain with us permanently and join the band. At present, they have the matter under consideration. The Majesty of the Law.

The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company met in regular session on Saturday. In the matter of the stock of W. F. Foos, Director Amorige reported that he had seen Jake Yaeger about it, and as there were other difficulties to be overcome, the matter went over to the next meeting. Director Tuffree reported that he had interviewed Roadmaster McNeil, who assured him that the obstructions on the upper canal would be removed, and that the matter of the sluice box and clutches would be attended to. There was nothing more to report in the matter of securing deeds to right of way for ditches. The committee on revision of by-laws announced that they were not ready to report. Director McFadden of the Litigation Committee reported that the committee had, in conjunction with a similar committee representing the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation District, gone to Los Angeles and interviewed Mosers. Chapman and Hutton in the matter of acting as associate counsel in the injunction suit against the diversion of water on the Jurupa ranch. They had received no definite reply, but expected an answer on the day of the meeting. A dispatch from Mr. Hutton was received, asking for further time. Zanjero Kreweer was reinstated in his old place as zanjero for the Anaheim ditches. His salary was raised $10 per month, and he will not be required to give a bond, the request for which a couple of weeks ago caused him to send in his resignation. Kreweer is the best zanjero we ever had, and it is to be hoped he will get along with his arduous duties in the future as well as in the past. The board decided to sell the Cota and Rivas tracts. The advertisement calling for bids for their purchase will be found in another column. Zanjero Henderson was reappointed zanjero for North Anaheim, and the matter of requiring zanjeros to give bonds was rescinded. The communications of several parties relative to money matters were referred to the Finance Committee. Director Tuffree of the committee to confer with Attorney Melrose relative to water rights at Yorba reported progress, and was given further time. Superintendent Sheppard was instructed Our moral crank and hunting crank next proceeded to procure game for supper. We were suddenly surprised to see our moral crank coming into camp at full speed followed by a band of steers, but a little later our hunting crank arrived leaded with game; so everybody took a smile, ate supper and retired for the night. Next morning we proceeded to the springs, where we arrived without further difficulty. We found quite a few campers among whom were several Anaheimers. We are now comfortably settled for a camping life and the prospects are good for a jolly time. Signed, SPORTING CRANK. [Come home, boys; the girls are all distracted over your absence, and don't know whatever to do. But let us hear from you again.]—Ed.] A Climbing Cactus. Mr. Korn has in his garden on West street a very fine specimen of the climbing cactus, which has trailed itself upon the rock of his house, and which a few days ago put forth its only blossom of the year. This cactus is of an exceedingly rare variety and blooms only at night. The blossom opens at sundown and closes with the rising sun. The petals are large and of a creamy white color; with a greenish yellow hue in the center. After blooming for two or three nights the flower withers and dies, and none other appears for a year. Mr. Korn has also several very fine specimens of the night-blooming Ceres in his garden which are now preparing to blossom. These are also rare plants and have beautiful flowers, which blossom as the name indicates, only at night time. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Postoffice: J. S. Bauer, G. W. Bentley, R Brown, Mrs. Maria Eberbathe, Mr. Holcomb, Peter Jeaperson, Mrs. M. Johnson, Joseph Priak, Albert Schultz, Wo Sing, Peter Sorenson, C. Stappenbeck, R G. Willard and R. Y. Withama. Six carloads of potatoes were shipped East from here last week over the Southern Pacific line. We acknowledge the receipt of the report on Alkali Lands, Irrigation and Drainage by Prof. Hilgard of the State University. Mr. Gillison has our thanks for late copies of London papers; also our old standby Cap. Schumacher for late copies of Chicago papers. Mrs. Alex, who some months ago lived here, is to edit a People's party paper shortly to be started in Los Angeles. It is said Theo. Pinther will be a contributor. The advertisement of the sale under foreclosure of mortgage in the case of H. Worder vs. H. Cahen, administrator of the estate of V. D'Assonville, will be found upon the fourth page. Preparations are being made to develop more coal in the Santiago coal mines, the demand for that commodity being so great. H. L. Paty, who is hauling coal from the mines for F. Conrad, says things are getting lively around the camp. It is estimated that Orange county will produce nearly four and a half million pounds of green fruit this season. There will be 1,500 tons of dried fruit in this county this season, which will bring in something like $75,000. Julius Schneider, Tax Collector of Anaheim School District, gives notice that school taxes are now due and payable to him or his deputy, H. C. Gade, at their office in Minor's nursery-building on Los Angeles street. A meeting of the citizens of Anaheim will be held at Kroger's Hall to-morrow evening to discuss matters pertaining to the establishment of the co-operative sugar refinery. A cordial invitation is extended to all to be present. The weather during the week has been favorable for growing crops and drying fruit. Some corn shows lack of sufficient moisture, but the crop will average well. Yesterday the weather was warm, the thermometer going to 90. The opening gun of the untertier Democratic party will be fired at Westminster next Saturday evening. Good speakers will address the people on the issues of the day, and a cordial invitation is extended everybody to be present. District Attorney Sanborn has filed an Californa. Messra. Boega and Ruhmann's enterprise is to be commended, and their public-spirited move will doubtless be liberally rewarded. The family of P. Weisel, consisting of his wife and nine children, arrived from Pasadena on Tuesday, and went immediately to their new home on the Timney place south of town, which Mr. Weisel last week purchased for $5,500. Mr. Weisel will begin the erection of a commodious two-story residence about August 1st, and will make Anaheim his future house. Judge French informs us that the outlook for scale in Placentia this season is particularly pleasing to the orchardists. On a recent inspection of many trees in his neighborhood he found but a very few of the insect pests, and yet everybody is preparing to fumigate, resolved to drive the last bug from the country. Placentia will one of these days lead the world in the product of its orchards as well as the quality of its fruit. The Olive Milling Company uses about 4,000 tons of wheat per year in the manufacture of flour, and of this amount fully one half is procured in Southern California. A few years ago there was scarcely any wheat raised south of the San Joaquin valley, but the development of the country and the water supply has been the means of transforming many acres of what was once little better than a desert to fields of waving grain and orchards of ripening fruit. The Los Angeles Baseball Club have made a splendid record thus far this season, upon which Manager Vanderbeck and his players are to be congratulated. The first half of the season closes on Sunday next, and it is reasonably certain that Los Angeles will win the pennant. They have to win but one game out of five with San Jose this week to achieve that end, and they will probably make it two or three. The club returns home from the north next week, and will be tendered an ovation by the people of Los Angeles. We doff our hat to the Angels, the best team of ball players in the country outside of the big league! While sojourning at Coronado last week our friend Lieut. Helpin had a narrow escape from drowning. He was out in a boat with some friends a couple of miles beyond the point, and while standing up to adjust the rigging lost his balance and fell overboard. Only the fact that he was a good swimmer, coupled with prompt assistance on the part of his friends in the boat, saved him from going to the bottom. He was in the water some time, but finally succeeded in getting into the boat, when all hands tacked about for the shore. Ed Morgan, Frank Fork and Billy Dunlap wint down to the mouth Mrs. Heimann paid a visit to Mrs. Seed at Long Beach last week. Miss Lucretia Richards is down from S.Gabriel, visiting with her aunt, Mrs. Adolph Rimpan. Clark Minor returned on Tuesday from Eastern trip, much improved in health and glad to get back. Marion Rose of Mattoon, Illinois, an old time friend of Col. Everharty, was here on visit to him on Tuesday. W. H. Bailey of San Francisco, President of the Olinda Ranch Company, arrived town on Monday on a short business trip. Dr. Dunn arrived from Pomona on Tuesday day with his fumingating outfit and went work in the evening in Mr. Reiser's orchard. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Rimpan and Fram Rimpan were down from Los Angeles during the week on a visit to relatives and friends. Isaac Williams, Buena Park's portly and good-looking road master, was in town; a dog or two ago to see if we were all alive after the Fourth. J. B. Joplin, who is getting out the premium list for the forthcoming exhibit of the Orange County Fair Association, was in town on Saturday on a business trip. Don Thomas Soully was down from Rimcon Saturday evening. He reports every thing flourishing in his section, but says crops are dry. Miss May Heimann, one of the charming society belles of Los Angeles, has been visiting with friends and relatives in this city during the week. Henry Hausman was down from Los Angeles several days during the week, enjoying a vacation. He spent a few days at the Lauding and reports having had a good time. J. W. Patterson was in from his ranch near Brookhurst yesterday. He had just disposed of his pumpet crop, which was very fine this year, and was correspondingly happy. A. H. Cargill of New York, who has been the guest of Mr. Ryan at Brookhurst and Santa Monica for some time past, was in town one day last week and made us a pleasant call. Charley Wommer, John Schauman, Ralph Blair and Henry Strodthet have gone to Capistrano hot springs, where they will disport themselves for a season in search of health, pleasure and recreation. A cordial invitation is extended to all to be present. The weather during the week has been favorable for growing crops and drying fruit. Some corn shows lack of sufficient moisture, but the crop will average well. Yesterday the weather was warm, the thermometer going to 90. The opening gun of the unerrified Democratic party will be fired at Westminster next Saturday evening. Good speakers will address the people on the issues of the day, and a cordial invitation is extended everybody to be present. District Attorney Sanborn has filed an opinion with the Supervisors on the vexed deputy question, holding that it is the duty of the board to appoint necessary deputies and to provide for their payment. The Supervisors will probably make the necessary appointments at their next meeting. Are you a shareholder in the Auaheim Lighter and Transportation Company? There are a few shares outstanding on which a dividend of $2 per share is due, and will be paid on application to the Secretary, E. A. Saxton, who resides in Los Angeles. See the advertisement in another column. Postoffice Inspector Flint of San Francisco inspected the Auaheim postoffice last Friday. Every department was found in perfect order, and the office was pronounced to be in a flourishing condition. Mrs. Bates, the efficient and painstaking postmaster, is to be congratulated upon Mr. Flint's very flattering report. Mr. Van Valin is having several thousand more trays made for use at the dryer, and is putting them in use rapidly as possible. It has been impossible to handle the immense apricot crop of this section this season and several carloads were shipped to the cannery at Ontario. N. H. Mitchell has taken a lease of the Hotel del Campo and will open it to the public about August 1st. Mitchell is a well-known hotel man, and his opening of the house, which is one of the finest hotels in Southern California, but which has remained closed for several months past, will be of decided advantage to our city. Orange county is rapidly forging ahead in the divorce line. Two in one week breaks the record. Following closely upon the Lamb divorce case comes the case of Ellen A. Rowell against Isaac O. Rowell, which is now on Judge Towner's dock and will shortly claim his attention. The Supervisors have been sitting as a Boar ofEqualization, and finished their labors on Monday. Only eight changes were made in the assessment list, seven lowering assessments to the amount of $4,300 and the other one raised to $200. The few changes speak well for the work done by Assessor Ross and his deputies. The Placentia school opens on September 12th, with Prof. C. P. Guthrie of Missouri as Principal and Miss Mary L. Gower of Los Angeles assistant. The school board consists of Wm. Crowther, W. S. Bradford and J. B. Tombs, the latter gentleman being Clerk of the board. They have a balance of school funds on hand amounting to $225 86, which speaks very well for them and the district. The Lamb divorce case has stirred up a outside of the big league! While sojourning at Coronado last week our friend Lieut. Hispain had a narrow escape from drowning. He was out in a boat with some friends a couple of miles beyond the point, and while standing up to adjust the rigging lost his balance and fell overboard. Only the fact that he was a good swimmer, coupled with prompt assistance on the part of his friends in the boat, saved him from going to the bottom. He was in the water some time, but finally succeeded in getting into the boat, when all hands tacked about for the shore. Ed Morgan, Frank Fox, Oscar Luedek and Billy Dunlap wint down to the mouth of New river one day last week to fish for carp and returned in the evening with a wagon-load of fish. All they had to do was wade into the water and pick the fish out by the basketful. The fish become afflicted with lassitude as they strike the salt water of the ocean, and back up stream in great numbers, rendering it easy to catch them. The boys had a very fine day's sport, and had fish to give away to all their friends when they returned in the evening. John Hartung said a visit to Doc Garder's stables at Santa Ana on Tuesday, and was shown the fine string of horses Garner has in training. Itthe list is a pacing colt, six months old, which gives promise of becoming a world bearer one of these days. It goes an eighth in 2018. John named the colt for Garner, giving it the name of "Bijon," meaning jewel. The celebrated Silkwood is also domiciled at Garner's, and one day last week worked off a mile, going the last quarter in 32 seconds. This is a two-eight gait, and a good enough cough to beat McKinney should these two snakes ever come together, as now seems probable. John will pay Garner another visit next week, when our reporter will accompany him and see what there is to see. A lad named Ernest Sawyer, who lived with friends at Centralia, was drowned last Thursday afternoon about 4 o'clock while bathing with a companion in a lagoon on Judge Pierce's place at Centralia. He ventured beyond his depth and sank. When he realized his danger he called for help, but none was at hand, his companion, a lad some years younger than he being unable to render assistance. The youth ran to sammon the neighbors, who came as quickly as possible, when the pond was sounded and the body recovered with the assistance of a rake. The fortunate lad was beyond all hope of resuscitation. The body was taken home, and the Coroner notified. A verdict was rendered in accordance with the foregoing facts. The boy's parents live in Oakland, and were apprised by telegraph of the disressing affair. In accordance with their instructions the body was embalmed and shipped to them. There was a chapter of accidents on the road to the Landing on Sunday which tinneted the day with an element of excitement, but which fortunately was attended by no disastrous results. Besides Mona Cahen's breakdown, which came as a serious interruption to his day's pleasure, Lieut. Halpin, who was driving down to the beach with two small children, experienced the excitement of a runaway, which proved to him that there are dangers upon land as well as on sea. While driving leisurely along the road, the horse bolted and strung its mad flight along several hundred yards of the thoroughfare. Halpin was equal to the occasion, however, and he brought the horse to larboard in very short order indeed. No one was hurt, and the journey to the beach J.W. Patterson was in from his ranch near Brookshurst yesterday. He had just disposed of his peanut crop, which was very fine this year, and was correspondingly happy. A.H.Cargill of New York, who has been the guest of Mr.Ryan at Brookshurst and Santa Monica for some time past, was in town one day last week and made us a pleasant call. Charley Womman, John Schauman, Ralph Blair and Henry Strodtthoff have gone to the Capistrano hot springs, where they will disport themselves for a season in search of health, pleasure and recreation. Tommy Morris, the noted Peat Land spinner, has been in town several times lately looking for a race with Prof.Bernard. It is probable a race between the two sprinters will be arranged for in the near future. Mr. and Mrs.Johnson of Albambra visited in town Saturday and during the day drove down to the Landing. Mr.Johnson is a great lover of horses and is the possessor of some of the fastest runners in the State. Matt Everhardy was down from Los Angeles on Sunday on a visit to relatives and friends. Matt's lines seem to have been cast in pleasant places in the Angelic City. He tips the beam close on to 200 pounds, and is getting heavier every day. William Still of the Rancho El Cajon, San Diego county, was in town one day last week. The Cajon is a very fine valley, but Mr.Sill thinks it is not a marker to ours with its frostless orange belt and is natural advantages. Judge Ira Mabbett of Yuma is in town on a visit to his old friend Leane Lyons, and will remain with us for a while. The Judge says the temperature at Yuma is about a hundred and ten or fifteen or twenty, but everybody is getting along quite well. J.S.Webbber, the tinsmith, who formerly resided here, returned on Tuesday evening for a short stay. He has been in San Francisco and Paso Robles, and reports his eyes as much improved. He will remain a few days when he goes to Los Angeles, where he expects to reside. E.B.Greene, who recently purchased a place weat of town, has set out a young orchard of orange trees which are looking very fine. Mr.Greene has a fine drive well, and a plenty of excellent water, and will make his place one of the model homes of the valley. Miss Margaret Landell, daughter of our esteemed fellow citizen Squire Landell, went to Long Beach yesterday to enter the Chauauqua prize competition for piano playing. A prize of $20 is offered for the best playing by any one under 16 years of age. Miss Margaret is quite an accomplished pianist, and her many friends hope to see her carry off the prize. Gen.Pierce was in from Garden Grove on Tuesday to attend the meeting of the Directors of the sugar factory corporation. The General is highly indignant at the action ofthe Republican County Central Committee in calling their snap convention to elect delegates to the Congressional and Senatorial conventions, and says Republicans in his section are outspoken against the outrage. Mr.James is in receipt of a letter from The Placentia school opens on September 12th, with Prof. C. P. Guthrie of Missouri as Principal and Miss Mary L. Gower of Los Angeles assistant. The school board consists of Wm. Crowther, W. S. Bradford and J. B. Tombes, the latter gentleman being the Board of the school. They have a balance of school funds on hand amounting to $225 86, which speaks very well for them and the district. The Lamb divorce case has stirred up a rump between several parties at Westminster, in which R. J. Pollard, Mrs. Lamb's father, has taken a hand. Lamb and Pollard take a few days ago and had a light, during which a pistol was discharged. At this writing it is not known whose pistol it was. The troubles are being aired in the Santa Ana courts. The affair may yet terminate in bloodshed. While driving with his family to the Landing on Sunday an accident happened to H. Cahen which came near resulting seriously. In turning a corner of the road the carriage ran against a stump hidden by a clump of weeds, and the jar knocked the spokes of one of the wheels out, precipitating the vehicle and its occupants to the ground. Fortunately no one was hurt, and after an unavailable delay the journey to the seaside was resumed in another vehicle. Some frolicious youths on pleasure bent succeeding in distracting the peace and quiet at S. Dunn's restaurant man, one of last years, but he swore out warrants for their arrest. They were served on Friday morning, whereas the frolicsome youth became disconsolate. The charge was subsequently withdrawn, however, and the boys were allowed to depart in peace. They have promised to sin no more, and will hereafter be staid and proper members of society. Tim Booge and Feitz Rubmann have in contemplation the erection of a brick building on their let on Los Angeles street that will be a conspicuous ornament to this city. The building will be 75 feet front, two stories high, and of highly ornamental architecture. One of the stores on the lower floor will be occupied by Bantz & Steadman as a meat market. They will put in a cold storage, and have the finest market in the county. It is expected the other stores will be rented to enterprising parties, thus making the block a very fine business row. Building operations will probably begin shortly, under the supervision of Carl Schudler, the boss brick layer of Southern road to the Landing on Sunday which tinoured the day with an element of excitement, but which fortunately was attended by no disastrous results. Besides Mons. Cahen's breakdown, which came as a serious interruption to his day's pleasure, Lieut. Halpin, who was driving down to the beach with two small children, experienced the excitement of a runaway, which proved to him that there are dangers upon land as well as on sea. While driving leisurely along the road, the horse bolted and strung its mad flight along several hundred yards of the thoroughfare. Halpin was equal to the occasion, however, and he brought the horse to larboard in very short order indeed. No one was hurt, and the journey to the beach was resumed without incident. Halpin found that he had lost his watch, however, and was reduced to the necessity of purchasing another when he got back to town.
