HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK The City Council and the Water Company. The Agreement With the Irrigation District Annulled by the Latter—Our Heirs at Anacapa—The Populists, and Their County Ticket-Gossip From the Landing. The Board of Trustees met in regular session in the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Witte, Schindler, Pellegrin and Rust. Absent, Mr. Littlefield. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular and adjourned meetings, which were approved as read. The bill of Henry Albrecht for $10 50 for work done on the City Hall was ordered paid. The matter of finishing the pipe line on the corner of Olive and Cypress streets was referred to Trustee Rust, with power to have the same fixed at once. In regard to the culvert on Adele street. The matter was left to the Committee on Public Improvements with power to act. The matter of filling in chuckholes on the principal streets with gravel was discussed. It was suggested that teams be employed to haul gravel from the gravel beds near Olive for that purpose. The matter was left to the Chairman of the Improvement Committee. Coroner Ey appeared before the board in regard to the city remodeling Hermine street as advertised for. He desired that the board reside their action so far as they have gone in the matter, and let the property owners on said street perform the work as they see fit, providing it is done according to specifications. Trustee Witte replied to the Coroner with some calorie, claiming that he was the first gentleman who wanted the street graded, and that now he wanted to have the board's action in the matter rescinded. The Coroner, however, differed with the Chairman, saying he only asked at the time to have the sidewalk on the street put in a passable condition. The heated discussion finally ended, and peace and quiet reigned supreme, when it was moved that the matter be left with the Chairman of the board to consult the attorney in regard to the same and report at the next regular meeting. Ordinance No. 80, fixing the tax levy for the fiscal year 1892-93, which was introduced at the last regular meeting, was adopted as read. The disabled 'bus was left at the scene of the accident during the night, and the horses were unhitched and driven into town. A short time after arriving here, at about 9 o'clock, one of the horses died. The animal was one of the best in Lewis stable. At Chino the Farmers' Institute was in session, and together with them our delegation went on a tour of inspection of the sugar refinery, which is now running night and day. They were surprised to learn that no sugar is being refined at Chino this season, the crude sugar being shipped to the Sprockles refinery at San Francisco to be refined. It is claimed a great saving in the expenditure results from this policy. AT CAMP ANACAPA. HOW THE BOYS PUT IN TIME AT THE REGIMENTAL ENCAMPMENT. CAMP ANACAPA, Ventura County, Cal., Aug. 24. DEAR GAZETTE: — Perhaps some news from the seat of mimic war may interest your readers. Companies A, B, C, D, E, F and G of the Seventh Regiment went into camp at this place August 17th, to remain ten days. The camp is laid out with military accuracy on the County Fair grounds, near the sea, and adjoining the Southern Pacific Railroad track on the ocean side. The citizens of Ventura have done all that could be done to make the stay of the soldier boys pleasant, but those on the outside who think that an encampment under Colonel Schroiber means a junketing expedition at the expense of the State would do well to don a soldier's uniform and see how it is themselves. Let me give you a portion of the daily routine, as the whole is too long. At 5 A.M., revieille; 5:30, roll call; 6, breakfast; 7, drill, continuing with slight intermissions until 11:30. At 12 M., dinner, when the boys who are not on guard or special duty are free until 5:25, when the call for dress parade is sounded. At 6, supper; at 9, "Lights out!" and from then until morning the pickets patrol the camp. The above programme shows that an encampment means work, good hard work; but of course the boys have and do find time for "fun." Company G went to Ventura August 17th and the next morning the regular work of camp began. Thursday Captain Barry of the First Infantry, U. S. A., put in an appearance. He is every inch a soldier, and stands over 6 feet. In view of the recent troubles at Homestead, Buffalo and Coal Creek, he put the company through "street formation," "hollow square," "firing by squads," "firing by battalion," etc. Both officers and men were quick to recognize in... nor with some calorie, claiming that he was the first gentleman who wanted the street graded, and that now he wanted to have the board's action in the matter rescinded. The Colonel, however, differed with the Chairman, saying he only asked at the time to have the sidewalk on the street put in a passable condition. The heated discussion finally ended, and peace and quiet reigned supreme, when it was moved that the matter be left with the Chairman of the board to consult the attorney in regard to the same and report at the next regular meeting. Ordinance No. 80, fixing the tax levy for the fiscal year 1892-93, which was introduced at the last regular meeting, was adopted as read. The Fire Committee reported that the fire apparatus of the city was in good condition, excepting a few sections of hose. It was suggested by the committee that three more new fire hydrants be put in. A communication was received from Mr. Platt of Newport in regard to the boring of the new city well. He agrees to bore a 11-inch, 600-foot well for 60 cents per foot, the city to furnish all the necessary casing and other incidentals. As the well would thus cost about $2,000 his proposition was tabled. It was decided that Mr. Platt be requested to be here next Saturday afternoon and have a consultation with the board and thereby possibly arrive at some definite conclusion in regard to this vexatious matter. Trustee Schindler offered his report in regard to the acceptance of the New City Hall. The statement of monkeys paid Contractor Albrecht was also offered, showing that he has been paid $3,000, leaving a balance due him—after the usual deduction of 25 per cent of the whole contract price—of $262 50. There is still due the contractor the sum of $1,080, which is held back until October next as a guarantee that everything on the building is all right. The reports were received and filed. The Clerk was authorized to have one dozen License and three tax-receipt books printed. Adjourned. THE WATER COMPANY. THE AGREEMENT WITH THE DISTRICT FOR THE TRANSFER OF THE COMPANY'S PROPERTY ANNULLED. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company met in regular session on Saturday afternoon. All of the Directors present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Mr. Amerige reported that he had investigated the Pfeninger matter. There was proof that Pfeninger had water, but there was no proof that he had meddled with the gates. The matter was dropped. Mr. Spencer reported that he had investigated the Stein matter. As there was no proof of Stein having changed any gate the case was dismissed. Mr. Tuffree reported that he had seen Mr. Bailey in regard to the fill in place of flume 13. Mr. Bailey states that if the water company will fill the abandoned ditch between fills 10 and 11 and deed all abandoned rights of way to him, he will deed the new rights of way to the company and make no charge for earth used for making fills. The Engineer was instructed to furnish data for the deeds according to Mr. Bailey's statement. John Kuebler addressed the board in regard to the rights of way for water through the Collins place. Mr. Rust was appointed a committee of one to act in connection with The above programme shows that an encampment means work, good hard work; but of course the boys have and do find time for "fun." Company G went to Ventura August 17th and the next morning the regular work of camp began. Thursday Captain Barry of the First Infantry, U.S.A., put in an appearance. He is every inch a soldier, and stands over 6 feet. In view of the recent troubles at Homestead, Buffalo and Coal Creek, he put the company through "street formation," "hollow square," "firing by squads," "firing by battalion," etc. Both officers and men were quick to recognize, in Captain Barry, the scholarly soldier and one born to command. We hope he may be able to again visit the Seventh after his inspection of the Ninth at Long Beach. On Sandy the regiment attended divine service at Armory D and listened to an eloquent discourse in their duties as soldiers and citizens by the Regimental Chaplain. He referred in pointed terms to the recent calling out of the militia an Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Idaho and Tennessee, and advocated either an increase of the regular army or else a change in the militia organization. The Chaplain has strong common sense even if he can't ride a horse. Monday the regiment again did a big day's work in the way of battashton drill, all companies being consolidated as one and drilled in extended order by Col. Schreiber. The different formations for attack were shown, the regiment firing knuckle or lying down, and taking advantage of every depression in ground or rock or tree. Tuesday the regiment was again drilled by Col. Schreiber in "battle line," "volley firing," "firing by squads," "firing at will," etc. NOTES: Friday night the Native Daughters gave the Regiment a grand ball, and from the looks of things either some of the Anaheim boys will henceforth live in Ventura or some of Ventura's fairest daughters will move to Anaheim. "Twas ever thus with fair women and brave men." B. R. Grogan is again a member of the regiment. The boys of Company G are strictly in it. Sunday in thirteen minutes they pulled in a tug of war Company D of Ventura, and the way those Ventura boys pulled and tugged was a caution. They had heavier men, but they forgot the stuff of which Anaheim boys are made. Anchorman Sergent Landell, Capt. Browning, Corporal Bordrow and Private McGoffin, McFadden, Neipp, Redder and Blumhart, with Sergent Abbey as Captain, comprised the Anaheim team. Company G will, before the close of camp, pull any and all winning teams. Company G can't boat the Ventura Company D in right royal good fellowship. Capt. Browning makes a model officer, having the confidence and respect of his men. He was officer of the day Monday. President Keyes of Throop University, Pasadena, and Andrews of Santa Paula took dinner with Company G on Monday. They are friends of Private Grogan. Sergent Hatfield was overcome by the sermon Sunday. All the companies will shoot for the gold medal offered by citizens of Ventura Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The medal to go to the marksman making the highest score. Col. Schreiber is a model soldier. The grocer who brought bad butter Monday "got wind" of a blanket tossing and will trouble the camp no more. Two Chinasmen have been blanket tossed, and poor John... Mr. Tuffree reported that he had seen Mr. Bailey in regard to the fill in place of flume 13. Mr. Bailey states that if the water company will fill the abandoned ditch between fills 10 and 11 and deed all abandoned rights of way to him, he will deed the new rights of way to the company and make no charge for earth used for making fills. The Engineer was instructed to furnish data for the deeds according to Mr. Bailey's statement. John Kuebler addressed the board in regard to the rights of way for water through the Collins place. Mr. Rust was appointed a committee of one act in connection with the Engineer to investigate and report the most available method of getting water to Mr. Kuebler's place. The President and Secretary were authorized to draw and sign a warrant for $250 in favor of Chapman and Hendricks as a retainer for services in the Jurupa suit. Mr. McFadden reported that he had had a conference with the Litigation Committee of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation District, and they had agreed to push matters as speedily as possible. Mr. Tuffree introduced the following: "Resolved, That this board refuse to entertain any proposition whatsoever from the Anaheim Irrigation District with the view of purchasing the whole or any part of their works; but will use all legal measures or means to prevent the said irrigation district from acquiring the same by purchase or condemnation." Seconded by Mr. Amerige. Mr. Strain offered the following amendment: "That no change of policy of this board with regard to the agreement between this company and the irrigation district be made until a vote of the stockholders of this company justifies such change." Seconded by Mr. Rust. The Secretary called the roll for the vote on the amendment, which resulted Ayes—McFadden, Rust and Strain. Nays—Amerige, Tuffree, Spencer, Zeyn. Lost. The original motion was then carried by the following vote: Ayes—Amerige, Tuffree, Spencer, Zeyn. Nays—McFadden, Rust, Strain. Adjourned. Trip to Chino. The delegation of citizens who visited the Chino sugar factory last week report having had an enjoyable as well as an instructive trip, but their pleasure was interrupted by a breakdown in Lewis' bus when in the La Habra valley on the return trip, about eight miles from town. The rear axle broke, letting the passengers down gently. They got into Everharty's bus and made their way into town, arriving at about 8 o'clock. President Keyes of Throop University, Pasadena, and Rev. Andrews of Santa Paula took dinner with Company G on Monday. They are friends of Private Grogan. Sergeant Hatfield was overcome by the sermon Sunday. All the companies will shoot for the gold medal offered by citizens of Ventura Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The medal to go to the marksman making the highest score. Col. Sobreiber is a model soldier. The grocer who brought bad butter Monday "got wind" of a blanket tossing and will trouble the camp no more. Two Chiuamen have been blanket-tossed, and poor John thinks that "for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the soldier boys too are peculiar." Monday night was an exciting one in capt. Capt. Browning of Company G was officer of the day and Lieut. Hammons of Company D was officer of the guard. It seems that Companies A and C and part of F made up their minds to make a midnight attack on the camp and laid their plans accordingly. Early in the evening Company A got permission to load the galling gun with blank cartridges for Wednesday's sham battle. They also inspected the large brass howitzer. Soon after 11 P.M., Capt. Browning and Lieut. Hammons captured a man going out of camp with a rifle and blank cartridges. He was sent to the guard house, and sentries notified to be on the lookout, as both officers began "to smell a rat." Not long after a large portion of Company C, with their blank cartridges were captured and also put in the "guard house," then the music began. It was as if pandemonium had broken loose. The whole guard was turned out. They charged up and down the company streets, either capturing or driving under cover at point of bayones every man who could not give an account of himself. The result was that Campanies A, C and F captured neither the galling gun nor the brass howitzer, nor the camp; but they did capture the inside of the guard house. They all swear they won't this year, nor next year, nor the year after, try to capture another camp with Capt. Browning or Lieut. Hammons on duty. The streets were very clean Tuesday after the above companies got through extra duty. They looked sad and no doubt thought that "the beat-laid plans of mice and men gang agile." Brigade Inspector Maj. Driffell inspected Company G Tuesday. The boys came out O.K. Then came skirmish drill with blank cartridges, and it is quite a sight to see a section of men on the dead run suddenly drop to the ground at "Halt," and begin firing. Their heels with brown leggings flying up make them look like wild ducks pitching into a pond. Io Mismo. A recent number Call comes to hand Col.

The posed of forty-seven Anaheim has been Kleinigkeiten. A carload of lemons will be shipped East from Brookshurst this week. Mrs. Anna L. Diggs of Washington, D.C., spoke at the Kreoger Hall last evening under the auspices of the People's party. T. A. Darling advertises a miscellaneous collection of articles for sale cheap. Read the ad, and call on him for a snap bargain. H. A. McWilliams has about completed the work of putting up a residence for William McClintock on his place west of town. We are sorry to announce that Robert Menzel is lying critically ill with drops at his residence on Broadway. Grave doubts are entertained for his recovery. W. S. Fish came down from Los Angeles Tuesday to renovate his father's dwelling on Broadway. He will paint and paper the building and fix up the place generally. The lodge of Odd Follows initiated two new members on Tuesday evening, and the goat riding was witnessed by a select coterie of brethren who had a regular old high jinks of time. It is reported that the Masonic Grand Lodge is desirous of purchasing the Hotel del Campo property for the purpose of converting it into a Masonic Widows and Orphans' Home. The called meeting of the stockholders in the Beet Sugar Factory will be held at Kroeger's Hall to morrow. A full attendance is desired, as business of importance will come up for consideration. Mr. Adams of Fullerton has moved to Anaheim with his family, and has taken up his permanent residence here. He has opened a training and trading stable in the stable building on Los Angeles street. The advertisement of the Orange College will be found in another column this morning. Studies will be resumed on September 12th, with a full corps of teachers. A party is being formed to go on an excursion to Catalina island on Saturday, by way of Newport. The party will put up at the Hotel Metropole and be strictly in it. They will remain over Sunday and return on Monday by way of Redondo. Supervisor Armor and Assessor Ross have been appointed a committee by the Supervisors to go to Sacramento and present arguments before the State Board of Equaliza- Anaheim 3, Fullerton 2, Buena Park 1, and Yorba 1. The election boards in these precincts are: Anaheim, Adolph Rimpau and Julius Schneider; West Anaheim, Alex Henry and T. A. Darling; Fullerton, B. F. Porter and A. Alex Gardiner; Buena Park, Thos. House and D. Hickox; Yorba, D. Dominguez and Felipe Yorba. Madame Locroq gives notice elsewhere that she has moved her dressmaking establishment to her new parlors on Center street, and will open them to the inspection of the ladies of this vicinity on September 1st. The Madame is a fashionable dressmaker and is deserving of the patronage of the public. Twenty-eight votes were cast at the Republican primaries on Tuesday. The following delegates were elected: Judge Pierce, A. L. Lewis, Clarence Groat, V. Bentz and A. Goldthwaite. At West Anaheim H. D. Polhemus, A. R. Eddis and Charles Norman were elected delegates. The Republican County Convention will be held at Santa Ana on September 3d. General Pierce is out for District Attorney and is making a rattling canvass for the nomination. The General is a lawyer of fine ability, the best platform orator in Orange county, and as popular as he is learned. He would make an excellent official, and if nominated would undoubtedly be elected. General Pierce would make an A1 District Attorney. Corerey Ey hold an inquest on the fourteen-year-old son of C. C. Stanley of Fairview, who was drowned while bathing with some companions, on Tuesday afternoon. The boys were bathing in a pond at Thompson's ranch at Fairview and the unfortunate youth got beyond his depth and sank. His body was in the water three hours, when it was recovered by means of a boat and rake. The verdict was accidental drowning. The finish contest at the Opera-house next Saturday evening between Prof. Bernard of this city and Joe Cotton (colored) of San Bernardino promises to be a very lively and interesting go. Although the colored gentleman is some pounds heavier than Bernard, we look for the latter to win. Bernard is one of the clearest boxers in the country, and is a ring general of no mean order. He is able to inflict a great deal of punishment, which he avoids in turn with great cleverness. It is expected that Frank Childs will be in attendance and assist in the entertainment, which will be of a high order of merit throughout. The indications are that the exhibition will be largely attended. A number of our citizens made up their minds on Saturday to take a trip to Chicago. Agent Hill of the Santa Fe had informed them that he had received instructions from PERSONAL MELANGE F. J. Capitain was in town on Tuesday a short business trip.

Studies will be resumed on September 12th, with a full corps of teachers. A party is being formed to go on an excursion to Catalina island on Saturday, by way of Newport. The party will put up at the Hotel Metropola and be strictly in it. They will remain over Sunday and return on Monday by way of Redondo. Supervisor Armor and Assessor Ross have been appointed a committee by the Supervisors to go to Sacramento and present arguments before the State Board of Equalization against a raise in the assessment. John Hauna advertises that he has improved and unimproved property in Los Angeles to trade for ranch property in this county. Terms may be had upon application to him at his home in Los Angeles, or by dropping him a letter at that place. Up to 6 A.M. last Saturday morning the Chino beet-sugar factory had turned out this year 2,870,059 pounds of sugar. Of this quantity 510,000 pounds were from the siirps of last year and the balance 2,352,059 pounds was from this season's beet crop. W. J. Hill has hauled in his threshing outfit for the season. He has threshed something like 25,000 sacks of grain, while last year thenumber of sacks he threshed went to 104,000. Last year, however, he started in early and threshed until well along in September, while this year the season is cut short on account of the lightness of the crop. Marshal Nichols was over from Santa Ana last week to corral a petty larceny thief whom he had been watching for some time. The man had been hanging about Santa Ana, and becoming suspicious came to this city, where he was arrested and taken to the county jail. Nichols says politics are quiet at the county seat. St. Peter (on a summer vacation), but looking after business on the side)—"See here! Why haven't you been up my way!" Surprised Denizen of Earth—"Why, I'm not dead yet!" St. Peter—"You deceive yourself; you've been dead some time, and you are very much in the way here." Surprised Denizen—"I'll call in the neighbors to prove I'm alive and in business." St. Peter—"That's too much trouble. Here's your local paper; show me your advertisement!" The People's party have honored our townsman Dr. Paschall with the nomination for Coroner and Public Administrator. The Doctor is one of our best citizens, has been a life-long Democrat, but is trying pretty hard to be a People's party man, and if elected to the office that he is so conspicuous, fitted to fill will doubtless perform the duties of his office so well that it will no doubt be a pleasure to the cold and clammy corpse to have him preside over the burial. The Doctor's name gives strength to the ticket. Mrs. John Faulkner of Santa Ana met with an accident at 11 o'clock Monday morning which resulted in her death at 4:30 o'clock that evening. When about to light a gasoline stove she found the supply exhausted. She turned off the flame to replenish the gasoline, but it is supposed the gasoline in the can, which exploded and covered her with flames. Neighbors came to her rescue and put out the fire by means of a heavy blanket, but not until the sufferer and interesting go. Although the colored gentleman is some pounds heavier than Bernard, we look for the latter to win. Bernard is one of the cleverest boxers in the country, and is a ring general of no mean order. He is able to inject a great deal of punishment, which he avoids in turn with great cleaveness. It is expected that Frank Childs will be in attendance and assist in the entertainment, which will be of a high order of merit throughout. The indications are that the exhibition will be largely attended. A number of our citizens made up their minds on Saturday to take a trip to Chicago. Agent Hill of the Santa Fe had informed them that he had received instructions from headquarters to the effect that the fare for the round trip had been reduced to $5. That was rate cutting with a vengeance, as the regular fare for the round trip had all along been $70. Plans were hastily made on the part of several citizens to avail themselves of the low rate, but their hopes were shattered when the agent informed them next day that he had misunderstood the message from headquarters, and that instead of the rates being reduced to $5, it had simply been reduced $5—see? There were blue streaks in the atmosphere in various places, but no tickets to Chicago were put on sale at the low rate. Sam Finley and James B. Moulin indulged in the pastime of a shooting scrape in Laramie's saloons on Fourth street at Santa Ana last Tuesday afternoon at about 5 o'clock. Six shots were fired, Moulin firing first. Both men were hit, Finley in the chest and Moulin in the shoulder. Neither is fatally wounded. The cause of the shooting is an old grudge that has existed between the two for many months past, the cause of it being Moulin's wife, from whom he was divorced some time ago. It is said that Finley was too attentive to the woman, to which Moulin objected. The two met in Santa Ana some time ago, when Monlin charged Finley with imprisonment conduct toward his wife, and a bitter quarrel resulted. Moulin went for a revolver, and Finley had him placed under bonds to keep the peace. Everything went well until Tuesday afternoon, when both men met accidentally and immediately began firing. The aim of both was bad, and nothing serious is apprehended from the wounds. THE FOPULISTS THEY PLACE A FULL COUNTY TICKET IN THE FIELD. The first County Convention of the People's Party ever held in this county convened at Neill's Hall, Santa Ana, on Tuesday morning at 1 o'clock. The convention was composed of 12 delegates. Out of this number there were fifteen proxies. H.F. Gardiner of Orange was elected Chairman. The following delegates were present from this township: Anaheim—Peter Herring, M. Walker, D.G.Walker, H.C.Gade, S.P.Bates, Clark Minor, Dr.J.S.Paschall, B.Dresser, A.M.Williams, R.Krobe, C.Clevenger. West Anaheim—K.J.Snodgrass, Wm.Kelley, G.W.Suyder, J.Hall. Fullerton—Arthur Staley, Theo. Staley, Y.Avil, J.Fayles, J.H.Starkey, Chas.Wagner. Buena Park—T.J.House, H.B.Williams, J.W.McKinney, Mrs.R.C Archibald, Mrs Stephenson, K.R.Robinson. Yorba-L.M Thomas, J.M.Woodward, J.Berlin Jr. The convention endorsed the nomination Theo. Rimpauw went to Lordsburg on Tuesday day to visit his wife and daughters, who are temporarily sojourning at that point. He will probably return to-day. Prof.Edwin Clark, who taught school at Prospect Park, near Los Angeles, last term will teach at San Juan Capistrano during the coming year. The Professor can't stay away from Orange county. Richard Krebs visited El Cajon valley in San Diego county last Saturday and Sunday. He reports the grape vines looking very well, and the valley covered with a air of prosperity. Misses Jessie and Hilda Witte returned last week from their outing in the Temesca mountains, and the former is again in place at the Postoffice as assistant to Mrs Bates. Both report having had a very enjoyable time while away. Mrs.Wood and Miss Tate of San Jose are here on a visit to Mrs.Ednest Brownning who Browning, who has been quite ill later but is convalescing, will probably accompany them on their return to San Jose, to remain away some weeks. County Recorder Foster was in town yesterday renewing old acquaintances and looking at political lences hereawear. Mr.Foster has made an efficient and painstaking officer and if renominated would be a tower or strength to the ticket. Mr. and Mrs. Keithaber were over from Santa Ana one day last week, visiting with friends. Mr.Keithaber is a candidate for Tax Collector, and while here looked over the field to see how his fines stand. He informs us that they are away up and strong. Will Drips of.Santa Ana, well known to many people here; died at San Jose last Saturday from the effects of a fall sustained some time ago. His mother and father had been with him constantly since the accident, and brought the body back to Santa Ana for interment. C.Entenmann of Los Angeles was in town on Tuesday in the interest of the athletic and shooting festival of the Southern California Turner District, which takes place at San Diego on the 3rd, 4th and 5th month. The indications are that the festival will be largely attended by turners and their friends from all parts of Southern California. Mrs.J.F.Becher of Riverside whose presence once upon a time was the sunshine of this shop, has been in town during the week; the guest of Miss Minnie Zeyen. Mrs.Beecher is here to enjoy cooling ocean breezes, which are conspicuous by their absence at Riverside. Mr.Beecher is in partnership with Mr.Verry, and the firm is rapidly building up a large trade. Mrs.Beecher remains here probably a couple of weeks. A.LArmstrong of Danville, Illinois, accompanied by George Stamp and Robert Buchanan of East Los Angeles, were in town on Sunday; the guests of W.R.Harker. Mr.Marchstrong was completely enaptured of our city; and will hasten home to dispose of his possessions in the Sucker State and return here to take up his permanent residence with us. When Harker gets after a tender-foot he lets no guilty man escape. Mr.Aarmstrong will probably go into business in this city. Horticultural Commissioner John Scott of Mrs. John Faulkner of Santa Ana met with an accident at 11 o'clock Monday morning which resulted in her death at 4:30 o'clock that evening. When about to light a gasoline stove she found the supply exhausted. She turned off the flame to replenish the gasoline, but it is supposed the flame was not completely extinct and ignited the gasoline in the can, which exploded and covered her with flames. Neighbors came to her rescue and put out the fire by means of a heavy blanket, but not until the sufferer had inhaled sufficient gas to cause her untold agony, resulting in death. She was buried yesterday afternoon. She leaves a husband and two children. A recent number of the San Francisco Call comes to hand with a very good photograph of our distinguished fellow-townman, Col. R. J. Northam, whom it mentions in a very flattering biographical sketch as being among the prominent people of the State, the counterfeit presentments of many of whom appear along with that of the Colonel. Now comes the Colonel's quondam partner, Max Nobelung, who declares that overtures have been made him by a leading Eastern magazine to have his picture and biographical sketch presented along with those of all the good-looking City Clerks in the country. Max is considering whether he can afford the distinction. Our Celestial friend Man Wo enjoyed a visit during the week from his brother, whom he had not seen in a long time, and who has the distinction to be married to a Caucasian wife. The couple have three good-looking children, two girls and a boy, and the wife is herself not a bad looking woman. The Chinaman serves as cook on a sailing vessel, and his family reside in San Francisco. We did not learn the Celestial's name, but the children's surname is the good old-fashioned Anglo-Saxon one of Johnson. The family were the objects of much curiosity during their stay, which was made very pleasant at Man Wo's place of business on Los Angeles street. The family took their departure for Los Angeles on Tuesday.
