LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. City Trustees Meet and Fix the Tax Levy. Eighty-Five Cents on the One Hundred Dollars—Other Items—The Usual Gossipy Budget From the Landing—New School Teachers—Local Notes and Personal Mention. The Board of Trustees met in regular session in the New City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Witte, Littlefield, Rust, Pellegrin and Schindler. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular meeting, which were approved as read. In regard to B. F. Porter's bid to do work on Hermine street. The Attorney offered a resolution to the effect that as Mr. Porter's bid was not properly drawn, and was not accompanied by a certified check or bond, as prescribed by law, the said bid should be rejected; and that the Clerk be directed to readvertise for bids for the performance of said work. So ordered. In regard to boring the city well. Mr. Platt of Fairview appeared before the board and offered to bore a 11-inch well 200 feet at $1 per foot straight, providing however, he does not strike any impassable obstacles, or he would take all chances and bore a 11-inch, 200-foot well for the sum of $300; or, if he goes 500 feet, at the rate of 60 cents per foot for first 100 feet and 50 cents per each additional foot. The matter was left to the special committee for action. The matter of the city clock bobbed up again, but as Mr. Luudke had paid no attention to the board's request in regard to the matter the same was deferred indelimitely. The Clerk was instructed to return the certified checks to all the unsuccessful bidders for the late sprinkling contract. An ordinance was introduced fixing the tax levy for the fiscal year 1892-93 at 50 cents on each one hundred dollars of the assessed valuation of all real and personal property within the corporate limits of the city. For the bonded indebtedness and sinking fund the rate was fixed at 35 cents. Joe desGranges appeared before the board in regard to his work done on the city well and the payment therefor. After a heated discussion entered into between that gentleman and the members of the board, the matter was laid on the table. Adjourned. their tin-types taken just before they went into the water.

Wild waves sighing in background. She—"What's the sweetestthing on earth?" Pause. He—"You--you are," course." Another pause. He, timidly—"Who's--who's--who's the bestfellerinthe world?" She—"MoGinniss!" Then a sound something like the exhaust from a bathtub. Two hearts with but a single thought, etc. Col. Polhemus startled the camp by informing all comers that a lot of crazy fish had been caught down on the beach. They were only in seine, see? Al Smith came down on Tuesday to listen to what the wild waves were saying. Al is in the swim. W. M. McFadden and family are in camp. One of the most pleasant events of the season occurred on Friday last at White Wing cottage on Knob Hill, the seaside residence of Mrs. Frank Ey.

Pretty girls, flashy bathing suits and gallant young men were plentiful, and the beach presented a lively appearance the livelong day. Bathing in the surf is much enjoyed, the sailing on the bay is fine and altogether the Landing is pronounced to be the most popular resort on the coast. The season is now fairly well opened and lots of fun is in store for the campers and visitors for the next three or four weeks. Miss Rose Robinson is said to be one of the best lady swimmers here. Mr. Richardson was down Sunday in the whirl of enjoyment, and is of the opinion that the young ladies here are the prettiest to be found anywhere on the coast. He together with the Messrs. Amerige Bros. is comfortably situated on the principal highway, and all day long their tent is filled with a merry crowd, which says the boys are the life of the camp. Miss Louise Berlin, one of the charming society belles of Los Angeles, is visiting here, the guest of Mrs. Frank Ey. Miss Solma Roller came down Saturday evening and was the guest of Miss Cora Lewis. One evening last week a loving couple stood on the wharf near midnight and the young man was hoared to say: "If you don't give me one more, I'll jump into the bay!" As there was no unusual splashing in the briny it is supposed that the young man was successful in his entreaties, and thereby evaded going down to a cruel and watery grave. Lient. Halpin broke camp Monday, after having had a glorious time for a week. "Supe" constitutes the bill of fare at Bachelors' Retreat. As the "supe" is usually fortified with an unlimited amount of red pepper it has a tendency to keep away "apungers," upon the good graces of the landlord. Deputy Shotif Dilly came down Sunday with his trotter and took a drive on the beach. The horse works off a mile in a 2:30 gait, and promises some day to be a wonder. Chris Saalwaecher came in from Long Beach on Sunday and succeeded in taking in all the sights. At times the peace and quiet of the camp is disturbed in the early morning hours by an unearthly sound emanating from the text of the bachelors, but they say it is only the melodious voice of Jack Landell who at times is taken with singing spells. Miss Meta Polhemus returned home Sunday after having spent a most delightful tention to the board was requested in regard to the matter she was deferred indelibly. The Clerk was instructed to return the certified checks to all the unsuccessful bidders for the late street sprinkling contract.

D. Polnemus came down last week and are comfortably situated on the bluff. A bridge ought to be constructed over the mouth of New river, which would give a continuous driveway on the beach from here to San Pedro. It would be a grand feature during the summer season. L. W. Kirby and family have pitched their tent here and will remain during the summer. About twenty-five couples attended Prof. Holgate's dance Saturday night, and, as usual, all had a pleasant time. Ed. Amerige's stately figure was seen entering the water at 11:37 Sunday. Fact. Miss Cora Lewis swam around the wharf. Deputy Marshal Bentz came down to see the ladies in the surf.

As the popularity of California's dried fruit in the Eastern markets is increasing every year, it is advisable for every individual interested in drying fruit to make a display of his productions. In order to assist in carrying out the attractive feature of this department, the Southern California World's Fair Association have agreed to furnish, through the county and district organizations, cases for packing and arranging the various fruits, to all parties wishing to make an exhibit. If they prefer to have them packed by the organizations, sacks will be furnished in place of the boxes in which the fruit can be sent to the local organizations, or if more convenient, to the Chamber of Commerce, in Los Angeles, and there arranged in the cases, duly credited to each individual deserving the same, and the card and address of each donor attached.

Certain items were cited which it would be well for the board to go over again. — We are sorry to announce that Chris Buck, who is well known to all our citizens, having labored here in various capacities for many years past, became insane in Los Angeles last week, and has been committed to Napa. The old man has been out of work recently, which fact preyed upon his mind, and it is said his insanity was superinduced by drink and opium. — The announcement of I. G. Marks of Santa Ana for County Recorder will be found in another column this morning. Judge Marks is an influential Republican and has given a plenty of his services to the good of the party.

Registration is going on slowly throughout the county. It is reported that there will be a falling off in a certain class of the Mexican or Sonoranian vote, as some of the hombre refuse to have their visible scars or marks put on paper. They are getting along quite well as they are, and some of them will not vote this year. The State Board of Equalization have served notice upon the Board of Supervisors of this county that the assessment on all property in this county would be raised, and that objections would be considered on August 25th. Supervisors Armor and Schorn were appointed a committee to prepare arguments to present to the State Board against the contemplated raise. Herman Dickel is in receipt of an inkstand and several pieces of jewelry made of coal and iron from the mines in Pennsylvania, sent him by his sister-in-law, Miss Frances Schmidt, who is on a visit to her father in Brooklyn, New York, and who recently visited the mines.

Good speakers will address the meeting, and a band of music will be in attendance to make matters lively. The arrangements are in charge of Theo.

Among the marriage licences issued by the County Clerk of Los Angeles last week was the following: "Peter Schumacher, a native of Germany, 48 years of age, of Fullerton, to Ida J. Bowman, a native of Vermont, 33 years of age, of Los Angeles." The ceremony was performed in Los Angeles, and the happy couple will reside at Fullerton.

The whistling continued for about half an hour. Arrangements are being made for a finish contest between Prof. Bernard of this city and Joe Cotton of San Bernardine to take place here Saturday evening, Aug. 27. The match will be for $250 a side and the entire gate receipts, and promises to be a very scientific and game affair. Other sparing events will be provided for the evening's entertainment, and the exhibition will probably be attended by a large and appreciative audience. Mr. Fowler, who has been seriously ill at his home in San Diego for some time past, is at present in San Francisco, where he will submit to a medical operation for necrosis of the alveolar process of the superior maxillary, or decay of the upper jaw. Mr. Fowler has suffered with the malady for a long time past, and recently his life was almost despaired of. His many friends in Anahiem hope that the operation may be successfully undergone and that he may soon be enabled to be with us again. During Mr. Fowler's sickness the sugar factory agitation is temporarily at a standstill. A note from Miss Phoebe M. Jones, Chairman of the Christian Endeavor Correspondence Committee, informs us that the different Christian Endeavor Societies of Southern California have formed a Union for the purpose of surrounding all religiously inclined persons with Christian influences when in different portions of the country. Correspondence is requested by Miss Jones from all who wish for further details of the proposed work. The efforts of the Christian Endeavors will undoubtedly become popular and should meet with the enthusiastic support of all right thinking people. The Mexican murderer Torres was arrested in San Diego county last week, and was brought to Santa Ana by Sheriff Lacy, who went after him on Thursday afternoon. A crowd of several hundred excited people were at the depot to catch a glimpse of the murderer, and during the night there were some talk about a mob taking him from the jail and hanging him. No attempt at mob law was made, however, and the prison spent the night in safety. His preliminary examination was had before Judge Freeman on Tuesday and was continued until last evening and will undoubtedly be bound over to appear before the Superior Court on a charge of murder without bail. Chris Saalvaechher has received a letter from C. Pamperl, who has reached Zurich, Switzerland, on his European trip. Mr. Pamperl writes that he will remain at Zurich for some time, while Pamperl and the children will visit her old home in Austria. Mr. Pamperl is loud in his complaints against the Inman line for their shabby treatment of the rescued passengers of the wrecked City of Chicago. Very little accommodation was provided for them after they were taken on shore, and as the weather was boisterous and rainy the situation of the passengers may be better imagined that described. The farmers around Garden Grove, Westminster, Centralia and other points in this neighborhood are highly slated over their success with their fruit crop this year. They haul their apricots and peaches to the evaporator here and return home with the cash at the rate of $20 to $25 per ton. Alie Schmidt and Mabel Langenberger go to Los Angeles this evening to be in attendance at the Modijaska performance. Messrs. Gene Wright and W. W.

Deputy Clork Brock and Prof. Greeley, Superintendent of Schools, were in town yesterday; talking crops, business, politics and everything else that came their way.

Halpin invested in a $65 kodak camera before his departure with the boys for the Ventura encampment, and went prepared to press the button ununtied—the camera will do the rest. Jake Stern is the happiest man in two counties. Cause, the arrival of a bouncing baby boy at his household on Tuesday. Mother and child doing well, and Jake getting over it. C.E. Holcombe was in town yesterday and dropped in to see us. Since leaving the editorial trip Mr. Holcombe has become an honest farmer, and the prospects are that he will shortly be rolling in wealth. Mrs. John Hanna and her sons Harry and John left on Monday for a brief sojourn at Capitrancho hot springs. Ned Hanna has been down from Los Angeles visiting with his father during the week. Col. "Jote" Smith was in from Centralia on Tuesday renewing old acquaintances. He is putting down an artisan well on his place and has reached a depth of 520 feet. He expects to secure a good slow short. Geo.N.Vanderlip, the Tustin capitalist, well known in Anahheim, died at his residence last Friday from heart failure. Deceased was well and favorably known throughout the county, and his death is universally mourned. P.Van Valin returned last Friday from his trip to Oregon, and has since taken his departure for the East. He found the Oregon apple crop short, but will ship a lot of apples East from that point to supply the demand. Guske Langenberger, son of our townsman A.Langenberger, left on Tuesday for Muhlhausen, Alsace, Germany, where, following the example of his grandfather, he will study medicine and become a physician. He will be absent seven years. Our friend Sandilands was in from his ranch yesterday, looking as bronzed as a rancher. He is keeping bachelor's hall, and a jolly crowd of his friends in town contemplate tendering him a "surprise party" one evening in the near future. The announcements of G.A.Harlin for County Recorder and A.Y.Wright for District Attorney will be found under their appropriate heading this morning. Both gentlemen are good Republicans and deserve well at the hands of their party. F.J.Capitain was in town on Tuesday on a visit connected with the plans for Mr. Weisel's new residence. Mr.Capitain has not yet entirely recovered from his recent illness, and walks with the aid of a crutch and walking cane. He has lost forty pounds during his sickness, but is now well on the road to recovery again. Rev. Mr. Hanua of the Los Angeles College has purchased twenty acres at Miraflores, and is putting up a comfortable cottage there. Mrs. Hanua arrived from Los Angeles on Monday, and the couple will in future reside on the tract. It is Mr. Hanua's intention to teach in the Los Angeles High School during the coming term, after which he will give his entire attention to his newly purchased tract. A meeting of citizens was held at Westminster last Saturday evening to discuss the beet sugar factory proposition. A great deal of interest was taken in the project and about 65 shares were subscribed. The people of the section are anxious to have a railroad, which will certainly be built providing the factory goes, and consequently they are taking more interest in the sugar industry than ever. The announcement of R. T. Harris of Westminster for County Treasurer will be found under its appropriate heading this morning. Mr. Harris is too well known to the people of this county to need an introduction at our hands, he having served one term as Sheriff of the county and having been in business at Westminster for many years past. Mr. Harris is a genial and accommodating gentleman, and if elected to the office he seeks will undoubtedly make a competent and painstaking official. The mid-mummer tournament of the Southern California Lawn Tennis Association will be held at the courts of the association at Santa Monica beginning on August 22nd. Among the prizes offered is one for ladies' singles, consisting of a set of out glass bottles, sterling silver mounted, donated by F. G. Ryan of this city, who is Vice-President of the association. The tournament will be largely attended by the clubs of the association, and many handsome prizes have been offered for the different events. Ernest Padderatz and his side partner John Neidecker were up before Squire Pierce on Monday on a charge of petty larceny, preferred by Mrs. Claus Wilkins, whose winery they had broken into and despoiled of a quantity of wine. The charge could have been made one burglary, but out of consideration for the youths, who are as yet to fortune and to fame unknown, the charge was reduced to petty larceny. After hearing the evidence, the Squire gave each benefit of $20 or ten days in jail. As neither one could pay his children will visit her old home in Austria. Mr. Pamperl is loud in his complaints against the Human line for their shabby treatment of the rescued passengers of the wrecked City of Chicago. Very little accommodation was provided for them after they were taken on shore, and as the weather was boisterous and rainy the situation of the passengers may be better imagined that described. The farmers around Garden Grove, Westminster, Centralia and other points in this neighborhood are highly slated over their success with their fruit crop this year. They haul their apricots and peaches to the evaporator here and return home with the cash at the rate of $20 to $25 per ton. Although in other localities a higher price is paid for fruit of first quality, still the difference is marked between getting the above prices and having to let it rot upon the ground for want of a market, as has so often been the case heretofore. The fruit raisers of this section may be said to be jubilant. A destitute Russian family composed of Eduard Heimrich and his wife and seven children, arrived here some weeks ago and took up their residence in the house on the southwest corner of Los Angeles and Adela streets. Their condition was made known to the neighbors, and some of the good people of this city interested themselves in their behalf. Quite a considerable amount of money was raised by subscription and turned over to them. To add to their woes, one of the children died of lockjaw on Monday after a brief illness. He had stepped upon a lemon thorn, and through the ignorance of the parents had allowed to contract lockjaw before medical assistance was called in. The family is in a deplorable condition, but are fortunate in having cast their lot among the charitably disposed people of this city. We are in receipt of a letter from Cap. S. O. Wood dated San Francisco, the 14th, in which he says he would sail on the Panama steamer of the 15th for the scene of his operations in South America. By this time the Cap. is in Mexican waters journeying south. The Cap. had the pleasure of Soip Craig's company from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Arriving at the metropolis Scip escorted the Cap. around to the Press club and did the honora right royally. Scip imparted the information that at the urgent request of his many friends he had consented to become a candidate for State Senator from this district, and will oppose the division of San Bernardino county. Scip says he feels that he has the nomination almost in his grasp—all he has to do is to reach out and grab it. Scip seems to ignore us in Orange county altogether. We expect to hear from the Cap. again shortly, and look for some interesting as well as instructive articles from his pen. The announcements of G. A. Harlin for County Recorder and A. Y. Wright for District Attorney will be found under their appropriate heading this morning. Both gentlemen are good Republicans and deserve well at the hands of their party. F. J. Capitain was in town on Tuesday on a visit connected with the plans for Mr. Weisel's new residence. Mr. Capitain has not yet entirely recovered from his recent illness, and walks with the aid of a crutch and walking cane. He has lost forty pounds during his sickness, but is now well on the road to recovery again. Gen. Pierce was in town on Monday with a brand-new silk hat, which he has trotted out for the campaign. The General has about given up his fight for the State Senateorship, and is about to yield to the wishes of his friends and come out for District Attorney. Count Bozenta and Madame Modjeka have been in town during the week, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Langenberger. The Madame will appear in the last slot of "Adrienne Lecouvreur," at the Los Angeles Theater this evening, at the performance to be given by the Orchestral Society. Quite a delegation of people will attend the performance from this city. Assessor Ross was in town yesterday in search of data to be submitted to the State Board of Equalization against the contemplated raise of our assessment. Last year the board raised us ten per cent. If we can stand them off at five this year we shall be doing quits well. Fred Rimpan went over to Lordsburg on Sunday to visit his mother and sisters, Misses Matilda and Sophia, who are temporarily sojourning at that point for the benefit of their health. Fred says the Lordsburg weather is warm. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when he started to return, the mercury marked 94 degrees, and it had been warmer during the day. We are pleased to note that the health of the young ladies is improving. Miss Luin James, whose elocutionary talents have won her much renown among her many friends, goes to Los Angeles today to assume a part in the support of Madame Modjeka at her appearance in "Adrienne Lecouvreur" this evening. This is to be the Madame's only appearance in Los Angeles, and she theatre goers of the Angelie City have certainly a great treat in store for them. "Adrienne" is one of Modjeka's most powerful impersonations, and that Miss James should be selected to appear with her in the coat is a testimonial to the historic talents of the accomplished young lady quite as fitting as it is flattering.
