GRAND JURY REPORT
OUR MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS FOUND BE IN GOOD CONDITION, BUT S OF THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT BOOKS ARE NOT CLEAN.
The following is the report of the GJury submitted to the Superior Court of week:
To the Honorable the Superior Court ofauge county. We the Grand Jury impanceon on the 12th day of September, 1892, have in session — days besides the work by our committees regularly appointed, inspected the various offices of the court of the cities of Santa Ana, Orange and Alham; also the public roads and bridges this county.
We investigated the lynching of Frank Torres. No evidence was elicited from witnesses to accuse in our minds even a piontion to identify the parties guilty of crimes. We most solemnly protest against the lawless spirit of mob violence which legal tribunals aside and assumes them inadequate to punish crime and protect city. Mob rule means chaos, anarchy, we no guarantee that the innocent will be detected or the guilty will be punished; we no curb on the no-called execution of the justice save the whim or caprice of pass or violence. Therefore we solemnly desist for law, order and justice, executed by a lawful authorities.
We have examined the records and ww of the Board of Supervisors sufficiently satisfy us that these officers have discharged their duties with commendable carefellow and judgment. Their records seem to well and accurately kept. The part团 fund to which any claim belongs, when lowed, is indicated in the Allowance Boo. We would make one suggestion by way improvement, in facilitating a reference comparison of any claim with the grant which is that the claims be numbered

Saved From Death by Onions.
There has no doubt been more lives of children saved from death in group or whooping cough by the use of onions than any other known remedy; our mothers used to make poultices of them, or a syrup, which was always effective in breaking up a cough or cold. Dr. Guinn's Onion Syrup is made by combining a few simple remedies with it which make it more effective as a medicine and destroys the taste and odor of the onion. Fifty cents. Sold at Reid's drug store.
The United States Department of Agriculture has received information to the effect that the vedalia cardinalis has been successfully colonized at the Cape of Good Hope. Last autumn Thomas A. J. Lonow, a special commissioner from the Legislative Assembly of the Cape, went to Washington charged with the task of collecting and taking back from America a supply of the vedalia. He was furnished with letters to the California agents of the department and took away from this State two parcels of the vedalia, one lot being shipped on ice and the other kept open and fed an route. Both were alive when he arrived at the Cape, and he writes that the experiment has been so successful that various parts of the colony have been supplied with the insect, whihb, no doubt, will be as useful in clearing off the cottony cushion scales there as it has been in California and the Hawaiian islands.
The formula of Ayer's Saraparilla is well known to the medical profession, and universally approved. The reputation of the firm guarantees excellence and uniformity in the medicine, and the world's experience for nearly half a century has fully demonstrated no curb on the so-called execution of the justice save the whim or caprices of passivity or violence. Therefore we solemnly desire for law, order and justice, executed by a lawful authorities.
We have examined the records and willed of the Board of Supervisors sufficiently satisfy us that these officers have discharged their duties with commendable care and judgment. Their records seem to well and accurately kept. The partitions fund to which any claim belongs, when lowed, is indicated in the Allowance Book. We would make one suggestion by way improvement, in facilitating a reference to comparison of any claim with the grant which is that the claims be numbered correspond with the number in the Allowance Book. We have given particular attention to the administration of the hospital fund, from which all grants are made for support and care of indigents of every scripture, for inquests and burials, and burial grounds; and so far as we can discover that fund has judiciously and economically administered. It would be indeed strained if the Board were never deceived by paranormal claiming to be indigent, or the County Publicarian never mistaken as to the real condition of parties whom he recommends to board for aid. We present to you a talented statement of all persons who have received aid from the hospital fund during the last eight months, and their monthly or total allowance.
[See Exhibit No. 1.] exhibit shows the expenditures made by county in support or indigents during the month of January; February; March April; May; June; July and August; showing a total expenditure of $2,759.66.] It must be that it is not absolutely correct, as it cannot be verified with absolute certainty but it gives just idea of the doings of the Supervisors in the administration of this fund.From it will be seen that the amount appropriated to English speaking indigenous not more than one-half of the amount granted Spanish-speaking indigenous.As a rule money is paid to indigents, but bills goods, provisions medicines and nurses are such other things as are necessary to amount of the allowance are paid for upstairs the sworn statement of the parties furnishing the goods or performing the serviceQuite a number of those who have receive continuous grants are aged persons.Largest monthly allowance is fifteen dollars which supports often two or more personsThere are thirty-two who have been allowed a monthly grant though they have not been claimed.Some died and others have moved away or have been stricken from the listThose who have been sent to the Los Angeles hospital have cost $1 per month besides transportation.Twenty-eight have received aid in sickness or disability or occasional help in emergencies,a railway ticket provided to a former residentdeco or friends.Burials and inquests burial lots and medicines,and medicines for sick prisoners are all charged to the hospital fund.The whole expenditure for the year ending on the first of current month has been $4,219.54.We are informed by the Clerk of the county that the expense per capita is about 33 cents per day.In a recent report of Dr. Brinard of the Los Angeles hospital,它 stated that the expenses of the institution for the month of August last was $2,955.43;the total number patients,152; admitted during the month 92;the daily expense for each patient,6 cents。它 is evident that in Orange county only a small proportion of the persons asked would be proper subjects to be made hostil inmates.Temporary aid to individual nails and families makes no inconsiderable part of the drift upon the hospital front.*

The whole expenditure for the year ending on the first of the current month has been $4,219.54. We are informed by the Clerk of the county that the expense per capita is about 23 cents per day. In a recent report of Dr. Brainard of the Los Angeles hospital, it is stated that the expense of the institution for the month of August last was $2,955.43; the total number of patients, 152; admitted during the month 92; the daily expense for each patient, 60 cents. It is evident that in Orange county only a small proportion of the persons aided would be proper subjects to be made host-pital inmates. Temporary aid to individual nails and families makes no inconsiderable part of the draft upon the hospital fund. The county has received from the State for the past year $800, in accordance with a law passed in 1883, granting State aid to age-indigents—60 years and upward. This law was for years supposed to apply only to such persons as were inmates of a public institution. But by a decision of the courts no long since it is interpreted to apply to ages indigents aided or supported by the counties according to their own method of providing for them. The middle and northern counties have been deriving the benefit from this law from the first, and since the decision of the courts Los Angeles county has obtained its proper allowance for the past year; and the officers of Orange county through its Clerk, have made their demand for that portion of the fund rightfully being longing to this county, which amounts to a little over $1,000, or one-tenth the amount received by Los Angeles county, in accordance with the terms of division of the county assets. We have not examined every grant of the several departments of county administration, as the examination of the accounts of the different county officers would accomplish all that would be needed in that direction.
The hill south of Orange, at the crossing of the Santiago creek, should have the north bank graced down, now being too steep for loaded teams to ascend. As several persons have been killed by the cars at the railway crossings, we urge the Board of Supervisors to order the removal of the trees at all railway crossings throughout the county which obstruct the view of approaching trains.
We have examined into the appropriations of the Board of Supervisors in reference to the provisions of sections 5, 6, 7, and 8, of Chapter 116, County and Township Government, and find an allowance to have best made in aid of the World's Fair, upon which we can express no judgment as to its legality. In all other respects we find no fault.
We have made an examination of the roads of the county, and find as follows:
In the Fifth Supervisorial District—In the Newport road district we find the roads and bridges in good condition.
In the Laguna district the mountain roads are in as good condition as can be expected of mountain lands. The bridge between

BREACH OF PROMISE
MRS. HELEN M. LOWELL SUES LEONARD PARKER, CLAIMING $25,000 DAMAGES—SHE GETS $500.
The breach of promise ait of Mrs. Helen M. Lowell of Los Angeles against Leonard Parker of this city, for $25,000 damages, was tried before Judge Van Dyke and a jury in the Los Angeles Superior Court last week. The plaintiff is a sister of the late Mrs. Leonard Parker, has been married twice and is 50 years old. The defendant is 75. The plaintiff was represented by M. E. C. Munday and the defendant by Stephen M. White. From the Los Angeles papers, which have contained lengthy accounts of the case, we take the following extracts: To say that the atmosphere was murky in the court room when the various parties to the suit and witnesses had assembled is using a very mild epithet to describe a very strained situation. It seemed to be the determined effort of every one in the case to ignore everyone else, and not trust to their powers of self-restraint to contain the pent up emotions which struggled for expression.
In the midst of the oppressive silence which prevailed the aged defendant sat calm and stoical, and did not betray any of the feelings he must have carried in his heart while witnessing the complications into which his family had become involved. Still there was a marked absence in the proceedings of any violent abuhlitions of excitement.
The plaintiff and defendant had the wisdom of over half a century to restrain them, and one of the children, save the daughter of the plaintiff, have passed the key-day of youth when the blood runs riot in the veins.
In her complaint the plaintiff avered that defendant, November 25, 1891, at Los Angeles, she being then unmarried, requested her to marry him. Her sister not having been dead very long she suggested that they wait a while, and at her request her brother-in-law promised to marry her within a year.
Laguna and Areh Beach is in a dangerous condition, having been raised by putting under very small timbers, and is poorly braced. It could be made to stand for a time if it were well braced new. The second large bridge below San Juan is needing attention, and the smaller ones are necessiting repair. Most of the bridges between Tustin and Capistrano need to have the planks nailed down. The large bridge south and west of El Toro, on the Capistrano road, should be tightened up, and some new plank put in place. We would recommend that this bridge, and a portion of the Trabusa district, be added to the Capistrano district. The work on the new grade between Tustin and the San Joaquín ranch should be pushed to completion, and the bridge put in before the rainy season.
We recommend, also, that the roadmasters be instructed to look after the sulverts and small bridges, and see that proper grading and fastening of plank be done. The first bridge this side of Capistrano requires longer stringers where the bank has caved in; and there is danger of the bridge going down.
Second Supervisorial District—The roads and bridges in this district are all in good condition.
Fourth Supervisorial District—The mountain road up Santiago canyon is in fair condition. The roads up the Santiago canyon near the head of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company's ditch, is next to impassable, absolutely so for loaded teams, and no sign has been put up to show that the old road leads into the river. This road demands immediate attention.
Third Supervisorial District—The railway crossing between Anabeim and Buena Park requires filling with gravel on each side of the track; and a row of young trees on the road further west should be removed while young, as they will be in the way of grading the road, and still further west the trees and stumps in the road should be removed.
A mile and a half of sandy road west of the Olive bridge greatly needs grading. The crossing on the section line between Anabeim and Buena Park districts should be moved to the middle of the road and a culvert put in
examined the records and work of Supervisors sufficiently to test these officers have discharged with commendable carefulness. Their records seem to be accurately kept. The particular claim any claim belongs, when allocated in the Allowance Book, make one suggestion by way of facilitating a reference and any claim with the grant—to the claims be numbered to the number in the Allowance Book.
We have given particular attention to administration of the hospital which all grants are made for the care of indigents of every designees and burials, and burial so far as we can discover the judiciously and economically it would be indeed strange were never deceived by persons indigent, or the County Physi-taken as to the real condition whom he recommends to the. We present to you a tabu-lion of all persons who have resm the hospital fund during the months, and their monthly or tem-ence.
[See Exhibit No. 1. The expenditures made by the report or burial of indigents dur-ing January, February, March, June, July and August, showing amount of $2,759,66.] It may not absolutely correct, as it has filled with absolute certainty; just idea of the doings of the administration of this fund.

This road demands immediate attention.
Third Supervisorial District—The railway crossing between Anaheim and Buena Park requires filling with gravel on each side of the track; and a row of young trees on the road further west should be removed while young, as they will be in the way of grading the road, and still further west the trees and stumps in the road should be removed.
A mile and a half of sandy road west of the Olive bridge greatly needs grading. The crossing on the section line between Anaheim and Buena Park districts should be moved to the middle of the road and a culvert put in the slough a little north of the crossing. The crossing at Almond station should be made wider and the holes at the side filled. Two bridges are needed on the county line of this district on the Fullerton and Artésia road. There is required about five miles of grading in this district and two bridges. The road from Anaheim to the Orange bridge needs repair by filling chuckholes. The railway crossing at the bridge should have the brush cut away on the west side so that parties from the Garden Grove side may see approaching trains; also at the crossing near the winery the brush and limbs of trees should be removed from the west side of the railway track. The road leading from Fullerton to Spadra is in good condition.
The books and accounts of the various county officials—the Recorder, Auditor, County Clerk, Assessor, Tax Collector, Sheriff, School Superintendent, Treasurer, Public Administrator and Coroner—underwent a thorough examination at our hands, and found everything in a satisfactory condition.
In checking books of the Public Administrator we find that he has on hand $444 92, and in the hands of the County Treasurer $775; and that as Coroner he has on deposit with the County Treasurer $132 60, including $12 80 mutilated coin.[Then follows a statement of deposits made by the several county officials from September, 1891, up to and including August, 1892.]
We searched the municipal affairs of the city of Santa Ana and found the accounts of the City Clerk correctly kept; so also the City Recorder. Books of the City Board of Education were found well kept and accounts balanced. Treasurer's books found O.K.
We overhaulled the public accounts of the city of Orange, the Recorder's docket, the books of the City Clerk, the Marshal and Treasurer, found them in a proper condition.
We also examined into the municipal and other affairs of Anaheim. The accounts of the City Clerk we found exported a short time ago, and in very best of condition. We searched the accounts of the Anaheim Irrigation District, compared voucher with the warrant register, and found them to tally; some of the books not in a clean condition.
The docketts of several Justices of the Peace we inspected, and found them in good condition generally—fees and fines all properly accounted for. It is evident that many abuses of the law in regard to the arrest and trial of vagrants have been perpetrated, whereby the county has been made to pay fees largely in excess of the good resulting from it; therefore we recommend to those having charge of this branch of the county business that they only proceed against this class of offenders upon the complaint of persons injured or annoyed by them, and then that adequate punishment follow conviction.
The Grand Jury visited and inspected the county jail, and respectfully urge that cor-
he must have carried his heart while witnessing the complications into which his family had become involved. Still there was a marked absence in the proceedings of any violent abullitions of excitement. The plaintiff and defendant had the wisdom of over half a century to restrain them, and every one of the children, save the daughter of the plaintiff, have passed her key-day of youth when the blood runs riot in the veins.
In her complaint the plaintiff averys that defendant, November 25, 1891, at Los Angeles, she being then unmarried, requested her to marry him. Her sister not having been dead very long she suggested that they wait a while, and at her request her brother-in-law promised to marry her within a year. Confiding in his promise she remained unmarried, and was always ready and willing, and is now ready and willing to marry him. But afterwards she defended, contrary to his promises to her, married a woman named Wellman. The plaintiff further alleges that the defendant is possessed of $50,000 in property, real and personal, and refuses to marry her, alleging that he is already married to the other party. Therefore Mrs. Lowell thought she ought to have damages for his actions in trifling with her affections.
The defendant in his answer entered a general and specific denial of the allegations of the complaint, and asserted that he is not worth $500. One of the points of defense set up was a singular one, that Mrs. Lowell was not free to marry as she alleged, but that she was married by contract to a man in Missouri, several years ago; that being a bar for further marriage.
On her part, however, the plaintiff claimed that this marriage was no marriage; for the reason that she had found out that while she did marry her man by contract and lived with him as his wife, he at the time had another wife and children living, and that when she ascertained the fact she left him and had never lived with him since.
The testimony on part of the plaintiff occupied some time. It consisted of the narration by Mrs Lowell of the courtship of her brother-in-law. She did not go into allthe particulars, which might have beenthe ease at a younger period, but described howthe defendant had wished her to marry him,had offered himself to her and she had accepted him.She suggested a delay asbecoming underthe circumstances,and he had consented to it.She had gone alongwiththe full belief that she would marryhim,and had seen him only a day or two beforehe had married Mrs.Wellman.He had said nothing to her about his intending to marrythe woman and had played her false.She insisted onthe truthofher allegationsthatthe defendant had explicitly askedher to marry him,and that she had consented.She considered herself unmarried,and was fully prepared to carry out her part ofthe agreement.

It is evident that many abuses of the law in regard to the arrest and trial of vagrants have been perpetrated, whereby the county has been made to pay fees largely in excess of the good resulting from it; therefore we recommend to those having charge of this branch of the county business that they only proceed against this class of offenders upon the complaint of persons injured or annoyed by them, and then that adequate punishment follow conviction.
The Grand Jury visited and inspected the county jail, and respectfully urge that certain alterations and changes be made for the purpose of securing greater protection to prisoners, and also their jailer. We recommend:
1. Au iron door instead of the wooden door at the entrance to the jail.
2. Deadly weapons or files may be passed through the windows to prisoners in the corridors; the only hindrance thereto is a wire screen, which may be easily out. A high fence of either boards or iron would add to the security of the jail.
3. Proper openings should be made for the jailer to see that persons are in the cells when he orders them in, or that he may see them if they undertake to stay in the corridors.
4. That a better kind of locks be used. The Santa Ana city prison has been condemned by the Health Officer. The drainage to the cesapool is such that the gases rise in the cells. When prisoners are put in for any length of time they have to be let out and the Marshal has no place where to put them and has to turn them loose. The cesapool between the two jails is about fourteen feet deep, poorly covered with two-inch planks, with no railing around it, so that a horse or cow might fall in.

The defendant, Leonard Parker, next took the witness stand. He denied generally and specifically every allegation made by the plaintiff, and was especially emphatic in his denial of the alleged promise to marry Mrs. Lowell. He said that he had always treated her as became the sister of his deceased wife, both before and after the death of his first wife. He admitted that he had kissed her, but declared that he had not done so more frequently since the death of his wife than he had before that unhappy event. He explained the circumstance of his having raised money on his Anaheim property and given it to Miss Lowell, by stating that Mrs. Lowell and her daughter, who were renting rooms, wanted a home and he agreed to purchase a certain house and lot in Los Angeles and install them therein, merely as an investment, for which he was to receive a security. As he did not wish to appear in the transaction money was given to Miss Lowell, who was to pay for the property and receive the deed therefor; but owing to a defect in the title the deal was never consummated, and Miss Lowell was allowed to retain the money until another suitable house could be found. He identified two deals conveying sixty-three acres of land at Anaheim to his second wife. They were dated November 18 and December 4, 1891, respectively; the consideration being $10 in the first and $500 in the second.
This closed the testimony. The lawyers then argued the case, after which it was given to the jury. After a lengthy deliberation they rendered a verdict awarding plaintiff $500 damages.
