Landell and C. E. Groat. Constitutional amendments: No. 10 yes And Yet She Fled Squire Landell had rather a novel experience last week, which goes to prove that the course of true love never did run smooth. The hour was 11 A.M. A young man, looking digigified and solemn, entered the office and stated that he wished to converse with the Judge in private. He was ushered into the private office, where he stated he was about to wed a fair charmer, who was at that instant acting as cook in a restaurant on Center street. He desired to become acquainted with the modus operandi by which the harmless but necessary marriage license might be secured. The Judge enlightened him on the interesting subject, and the would be Benedick hied himself across the raging Santa Ana to interview the County Clerk and get the precious document. He promised to return in the afternoon, when the nuptial knot would be tied, and he and his totoy woody made one. He took the 11:55 Santa Fe train for the south, promising to return on the 3:15 Southern Pacific that afternoon. The scene shifts here from the Judge's office to the platform of the Southern Pacific depot. Agent Darling and his Cleveland plug hat in the back ground. As the engine slowed up at the tank to take water a fair maid with baggage checked for parts unknown might have seen getting aboard the cars. On the other side our friend the would be Benedick, his countenance beaming with smiles and a look of all-round happiness on his brow, disembarked. In his inside coat pocket was the license. A lady approaches, exclaiming excitedly: "George, she's gone!" "The ——!" but the rest of the man's reply is lost in the noise of the train that is just pulling out. George and his informant take the motor line up town, and then he told that the fair deciver is fleeing on...

Present, Trustees Witte, Schindler, Rust and Pellegrin. Absent, Trustee Littlefield. The report of the Marshal for collection of city taxes was received and filed. The report of the Treasurer was received, showing a balance in bank in favor of the city on November 10th of $4,500 58. The Recorder's report was read, showing collections to the amount of $13. The Clerk's report for October was received and filed. All the reports were referred to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee's report was received and ordered placed on tile. The Committee on Public Improvements reported progress in the matter of fixing crossings, etc. Trustee Rust reported that he had attended to the matter of procuring a gas-pipe starter, pipe and other necessary materials for use in boring the new city well. The committee was continued and instructed to see that work is commenced on the well as soon as possible. The Special Boiler Committee was continued with full power to see that the new boiler is placed in position in a good workmanlike manner. The Clerk was instructed to notify the Street Car Company to have their tracks re-filled in places where it is needed. As no word had been received from the electric light company no action was taken in the matter of granting the franchise as asked for. Prof. Grogan applied for a Great Register to be filed in the school library. As the city has a half dozen or more the request was granted. The Clerk was ordered to ascertain how much the cost would be to lay a one or two-inch pipe from the main to the property of Mr. Friese on the corner of Elm and Lemon streets, and report at the next meeting. The corner at the intersection of East and North streets was reported to be in a bad condition. The Public Improvement Committee was ordered to attend to it. Adjourned. At the adjourned meeting of the board held last Thursday evening an ordinance was read for the first time granting a twenty-five year franchise to the National Electric Manufacturing Company to erect and maintain an electric light plant in this city. Fullerton Democrats. The Democratic ratification at Fullerton Monday evening was a conspicuous success in every detail. Cap Schumacher, the energetic committeeman of that thriving burg, spared no pains to make the celebration one long to be remembered. Numerous tar barrels scattered along the principal streets, which were set abnormally early in the evening, besides a large bonfire in an adjoining lot, brilliantly let up the heavens and the sight was beautiful to see. After a grand procession everybody repaired to Chadbourne's Hall where speech-making and singing were the order of the hour. District Attorney Scarborough, Sheriff Lacy, Col. Edgar and others delivered addresses which were frequently interrupted with applause. The evening's festivities concluded with a dance which was a highly enjoyable affair. The people of Fullerton did themselves proud by their energetic efforts to entertain the people within their gates and all were glad for having been present. The playing of the Fullerton Band was highly commended. The boys are rapidly acquiring a well-merited musical reputation. The Sugar Refinery. The Board of Directors of the sugar refinery met in session yesterday with the Board of Directors of the Sugar Beet and Land Company for the purpose of hastening the work of deeding the lands of the latter corporation into the refinery. There are from 800 to 1,000 shares held in town which have not yet been deeded in, but which will probably be deeded in a few days. The farmers of this section have already deeded in 1,600 acres, with the number of acres to be deemed by the people of this city and five hundred acres to come from The Stearns' Ranohos Company, a sufficient acreage will have been secured to start depot.

A lady approaches, exclaiming excitedly: "George, she gone!" "The —!" but the rest of the man's reply is lost in the noise of the train that is just pulling out. George and his informant take the motor line up town, and then he is told that the fair deciver is fleeing on the very train he stepped from a moment before. George blanches, and looks awry. Another change. Back to the Judge's council chamber. Hising himself into the Squire's presence again he makes that august official acquainted with the facts in the case, and implores his assistance in the unfortunate dilemma. The Judge tells him there is nothing to do but to institute proceedings in a breach of promise case, and this the poor man, bereft of everything but his health, resolves to take under mature consideration. A thought pierces his brain! He will follow the fair deciver! He finds that she has started for San Jose. He takes the afternoon train for the north, resolved to be at her side and know the reason for her mean behavior. He goes and is seen no more. But the Judge is out the usual marriage fee. That is why he is so penitent and so sad. Fullerton Democrats. The Democratic ratification at Fullerton Monday evening was a conspicuous success in every detail.

The Society are evening eating pay society; it may be instated grating the good valueable tax...

The corner at the intersection of East and North streets was reported to be in a bad condition. The Public Improvement Committee was ordered to attend to it. Adjourned. At the adjourned meeting of the board held last Thursday evening an ordinance was read for the first time granting a twenty-five year franchise to the National Electric Manufacturing Company to erect and maintain an electric light plant in this city. The Marshal reported the collection of $185.50 for licenses and $160.25 for water for the month of October, also the collection of $3,617.30 of city taxes. The Clerk and Treasurer submitted their reports, showing a balance on hand in favor of the city of $4,500.58. The Chairman reported the purchase of new furniture for the council chamber of the New City Hall, and the Fire Commissioner reported having purchased 300 feet of new fire hose, and that the same had been tested and found satisfactory. The Finance Committee were authorized to order what coal was needed at the water works during the winter, in anticipation of an early rise in the price of fuel. The Committee on Public Improvements were authorized to remove the City Jail from its present location next to the water works to the lot in rear of the City Hall. Bills to the amount of $1,166.96 were audited and ordered paid and the board adjourned. Special Meeting. There will be a special meeting of the stockholders in the Anaheim Sugar Beet and Land Company at Kroeger's Hall on the 2d day of December at 7 o'clock r.m., for the purpose of adopting a code of by-laws. A full attendance is requested. As will be seen by advertisement elsewhere the company have levied an assessment of $5 per share, which is payable immediately to H. W. Chynoweth, Secretary of the corporation, at his office in the Metz block. The assessment is made to raise funds to pay the first installment on the purchase price of lands selected for best raising. These lands have already been selected, and will be purchased for $35 per acre. Dry Year. Sam Hill is considerable of a weather prophet, and says that we are going to have another dry year. He bases his opinion on the fact that when the rains in Arizona are light in the Fall, the winter rains are light in this section. The rainfall in the Terri- The Board of Directors of the sugar refinery met in session yesterday with the Board of Directors of the Sugar Beet and Land Company for the purpose of hastening the work of deeding the lands of the latter corporation into the refinery. There are from 800 to 1,000 shares held in town which have not yet been deeded in, but which will probably be deeded in a few days. The farmers of this section have already deeded in 1,600 acres, and with the number of acres to be deeded by the people of this city and the five hundred acres to come from the Stearna' Ranohos Company, a sufficient acreage will have been secured to start operations going. It is the intention of the Directors of the first named corporation to apply for a license to make sugar immediately, and also to order beet seed and make contracts for the refinery buildings. There are good grounds for believing that these three important items will be consummated within the next two weeks. The refinery is an assured fact, and the recent newspaper reports about the probable "collapse" of the enterprise on accounts of Cleveland's election are entirely without foundation. Chrysanthemum Fair. The Chrysanthemum Fair at Mrs. V. A. Browning's last Saturday afternoon and evening was quite successful, both socially and financially, and as a result a goodly sum was realized for the benefit of the Episcopal Church. A large number was present, and the charming hostess outdid herself in their entertainment. The prize for the nearest guess of the number of petals in a large chrysanthemum, an elegant cup and saucer, was won by Winifred Melrose, and was turned over to the ladies of the church to be raffled off at their Thanksgiving supper next Thursday evening. Mrs. Browning desires to say to those who may be desirous of purchasing other chrysanthemum roots that they may do so at from 5 to 20 cents each. The different colored chrysanthemums may be selected now, and may be left in the garden and called for next spring. Birth. KNOBLAUCH—In this city, November 14th, to the wife of Dr. C. F.

In the license, coming excitedly: The man's train that is and his inform-town, and then never is fleeing on Kleinigkeiten. On dit that a wedding will shortly occur in town. Meanwhile the question arises, Where are we at? Fred Crist has beautified his tailor shop with a new coat of paint. Who wants the Postoffice? Now don't you Democrats all speak at once. The Price Baking Powder Company have put up some neat signs in town. The Hill boys are making preparations to put in 1,500 acres in barley on the La Habra ranch. Gus Davis has put up a neat sign on the west wall of his store building on Center street. The man who knew all about the election is around in the land. He know all about it long ago. An unusual amount of sickness has prevailed in town for some weeks past, but the patients are in every case improving. Mrs. Hunter has moved into her new cottage in North Anaheim, the parties who purchased her home place having arrived and taken possession of the same. Mrs. Anne Raine, wife of Ed Raine, who formerly resided in Anaheim, died in San Bernardino on Sunday and was buried on Monday at Los Nietos. All the way from Springfield, Mass., comes a letter of inquiry about the co-operative sugar factory. Beet sugar is indeed giving us a wide advertisement. We are informed that there are good indications of another insurance rate war. Let it come; the times demand it. We have had too much of the tyranny of the insurance combine. Joe Hatfield went down to the Landing yesterday afternoon to hunt ducks. He will probably be back to-day loaded down with game, as he is one of the best shots in Southern California. Our job office has been turning out some way-up color printing during the week. We do all kinds of color work as cheap as the cheapest. Call in and see samples and prices. Petitions are being circulated and numerically signed for the granting of the electoral franchise to women and for the keeping open of the World's Fair on Poor Farm at Downey, and had made his way to Anaheim, having ridden part of the way and walked the rest. When he reached the warehouse at the lumber yard his strength failed him and he fell to the ground helpless. He was brought to town and his wants attended to. On Monday Marshal Steadman paid his fare to Los Angeles, where he will probably be sent to the County Hospital. Dr. Knoblauch was the happiest man in town yesterday over the arrival of a new son and heir at his home the evening before. The Doctor has been receiving congratulations on the happy event, and declares the newly arrived citizen is a good one. Mother and child are doing well. The number of voters at Chino two years ago was 44; the number this year is 223. Reckoning at this rate of increase, Anaheim will have, two years after the establishment of the sugar factory here, in the neighborhood of a thousand voters and a population of five thousand. The death of A. H. Denker of Los Angeles is announced. Decased held large property interests here and was a frequent visitor to Anaheim. He was in town a few weeks ago, when he expressed himself as not being in very good health, but no one supposed the end was so near. He leaves a wife and family. Work will soon begin on the new Santa Fe depot in Los Angeles. The structure will be 300 feet long, extending from the First street viaduct to Second street, and will be of Elizabethan style of architecture, built entirely of pressed brick with terra cotta trimmings. There will be an open waiting room with a fountain in the center and an adjoining park. It will be in all respects a model structure. The new butcher firm of Bailey & Adams started business on Tuesday morning under favorable auspices. They will keep nothing but the best of meats, give their patrons the best of attention and fill all orders with neatness and dispatch. They are deserving of a share of the public patronage. Their advertisement will be found under its appropriate heading in another column. A marriage license was issued last Friday to George C. Mason of Los Angeles, aged 34, and Levina Chapman of Pasadena, aged 30. The ceremony was to have been performed by Judge Landell on Saturday afternoon, but the fair Levin repented of her rash act before the nuptial knot was tied, and forthwith she levanted. Thus is the path of life striven with roses to but a first class shave. Madame Chevalier was down Anglesea Sunday on a visit to relatives Gen. H. A.

Ramon Borquez has opened shop in Fullerton and is now give his friends and the public go first class shave. Joe Hatfield went down to the Landing yesterday afternoon to hunt ducks. He will probably be back to-day loaded down with game, as he is one of the best shots in Southern California. Our job office has been turning out some way-up color printing during the week. We do all kinds of color work as cheap as the cheapest. Call in and see samples and prices. Petitions are being circulated and numerously rigged for the granting of the electoral franchise to women and for the keeping open of the World's Fair on Sundays. Rev. E. R. Watson of Santa Ana will speak upon the following subject at the Hotel del Campo Sunday evening at 7:30: "A consideration of some of the principal reasons why a re-statement of religious belief is demanded." All cordially welcomed. Some miscreants from across the river pulled off a number of boards from Col. Polhemus' fence at Miraflores late Monday night and did other damage about the premises. The law breakers are known and will doubtless be arrested for their act. The people of Buena Park are taking a great deal of interest in the contemplated sugar factory to be erected here. Shares are coming in rapidly and it is expected that work will soon be commenced on the refinery. Marshal Steadman has collected about $4,000 of city taxes and finds on balancing up his books that he is three cents ahead. He doesn't know where it comes from, and has spent three dollars' worth of time in trying to hunt up the raise. Silkwood has been taken to Stockton to go over the kite-shaped track against time. It is given out that the horse has never yet made his beat time, and that he will be able to go over the kite in about two five or six thereabouts. Dominick Lieb has sold his saloon to A. Friese, who recently arrived here with his family from Denver. It is also reported that Ed Morgan's saloon has been sold, Jack Landell is in charge of the premises, and the consideration is said to have been $1,200. Prof. Frantz has varnished the lineleum on the floor of his barber shop and given the premises a general clean up. The Professor has one of the nearest shops in Southern California, and he employs none but artists to wield the razors. How's that, Haman? The Board of Directors of the irrigation district held an adjourned session on Thursday last, when they transacted routine business. Nothing has yet been heard from London in regard to the purchase of the bonds of the district, but a cable telegram may be expected at any time. The meetings of the Christian Endeavor society are largely attended every Sunday evening. Last Sunday several very interesting papers were read by members of the society, and the other church work proved to be instructive and interesting to the congregation. The Junior society assisted in the good work, the younger members being valuable acquisitions to the Endeavorers. A very pleasant surprise party was tenu but the best of meats, give their patrons the best of attention and fill all orders with neatness and dispatch. They are deserving of a share of the public patronage. Their advertisement will be found under its appropriate heading in another column. A marriage license was issued last Friday to George C. Mason of Los Angeles, aged 34, and Levina Chapman of Pasadena, aged 30. The ceremony was to have been performed by Judge Landell on Saturday afternoon, but the fair Levin repented of her rash act before the nuptial knot was tied, and forthwith she levanted. Thus is the path of life strewn with roses to but a limited extent, and thus is the county ahead on the issuance of the marriage certificate. The Democrats of this bail-wick are preparing to give a grand Cleveland and Stevyn blowout one evening in the near future, and are only awaiting the arrival of an extensive assortment of fireworks to announce the date. Probably it will be Saturday evening. They propose to make Rome howl and paint 'er red. All the candidates will be present—except those who have gone up Salt river. Everybody is invited to turn out and have a good time. The Board of Supervisors have appropriated $500 for the purpose of protecting the Olive bridge from the overflow of the Santa Ana river, and subscriptions by citizens of Anaheim and vicinity will bring the amount up to $1,000 or more. A substantial levee will be constructed, the work to be under the supervision of Engineer Kellogg and Colonel Robinson. A large gang of men will be put to work at once, and the levee put in before the rains set in. Carpenter McWilliams yesterday completed work on Prof. Frantz's new residence on Broadway. The painters will now go to work on the building and it will probably be ready for occupancy in a short time. Mr. McWilliams is at present at work on a four-room cottage for P. Hussy, who recently purchased a tract of land north of Tim Carroll's big well west of town. Mr. Hussy resides in Korn county, but contemplates moving here with his family about the first of Decomber. While Jake Yaeger and R. Boettseher were driving in Santiago Canyon one day last week they met with an accident which came near resulting disastrously. On their return trip the horse, which was a high-spirited animal, became unmanageable and left the road, bolting headlong into the creek, which is lined with large bowlers. The buggy was overturned and both gentlemen were thrown violently to the ground, sustaining severe bruises. Luckily the horse was captured before more injury was done and the journey made into town without further mishap. Yaeger was seriously injured and was confined to his bed for several days. Marshal Steadman made a flank movement on five-life-sized tramps, who had been making merry in a box car at the Santa Fe depot on Monday evening, and started the small procession toward the city bastile. Matters went along quite well until the line of march two blocks this side of the depot was reached, when one of the hobos gave leg bail and started to run. Deputy Bentz, who was of the arresting posse, put after him and called on him to halt or he would shoot, but the fellow evidently did not hear The meetings of the Christian Endeavor society are largely attended every Sunday evening. The Sunday several very interesting papers were read by members of the society, and the other church work proved to be instructive and interesting to the congregation. The Junior society assisted in the good work, the younger members being valuable acquisitions to the Endeavorers. A very pleasant surprise party was tendered Miss Mabel Langeberger on the occasion of her birthday Wednesday evening of last week. A large number of her friends were present, and the evening was passed most enjoyably in various games and in social converse. Refreshments were served and the party dispersed wishing the young lady many happy returns of the day. Chas Hilmer writes from Freano saying that he has not received the last copy of the GAZETTE, attributing the fact to the result of the Presidential election, in that, as he says, "the Republican Postmasters must all have the blues." The paper has been forwarded, but Mr. Hilmer shouldn't perpetuate such ghastly jokes at this solemn season of the year. Clarence Smith is studying up on apple cider, and when the next apple crop comes in intends to make an unlimited quantity of it, which he says will be made according to Hoyle and to the queen's taste. Last season he made up a batch, which he had the bad luck to have spoil on his hands. Clarence says he will look out for it next time and make it right. But he says it was awful good while it lasted. While driving in North Anaheim with a load of pumpkins one day last week Mr. Dresses was so unfortunate as to meet with an accident in going over a ditch which precipitated him violently to the ground. He fell upon his face, sustaining severe injuries, and in his fall struck against the wheel, breaking a heavy watch in his pocket, and receiving a bad scar in the face. Luckily he escaped further injury and is now recovering. A man named Henry Kesse, 59 years of age, was found in a helpless condition at the lumber yard near the Southern Pacific depot last Saturday evening, and was brought to town in a wagon by Deputy Marshal Beatz and Theo Blumhardt. The man had become paralyzed, and was in a pitiful condition. He had lately been discharged from the Marshal Steadman made a flank movement on five life-sized tramps, who had been making merry in a box car at the Santa Fe depot on Monday evening, and started the small procession toward the city bastile. Matters went along quite well until the line of march two blocks this side of the depot was reached, when one of the hoboes gave leg bail and started to run. Deputy Bentz, who was of the arresting pose, put after him and called on him to halt or he would shoot, but the fellow evidently did not hear and is probably going yet. The four remaining specimens were locked up for the night and Tuesday morning were given half an hour to get out of town. They evaporated. The Turn Verein, we are pleased to note, is making satisfactory progress. Under the leadership of Herman Dickel, who is one of the best turners in Southern California, the members are rapidly becoming proficient in the exercises on the horizontal and parallel bars. At the meeting of the Verein on Tuesday evening several new features were introduced, and when the new apparatus arrives the boys will be just as well fixed as any turner organization in this part of the country. We look for great things from the boys under Mr. Dickel's instruction. Bentz & Steadman moved into their new butcher shop on Tuesday morning. We feel safe in saying the new shop is the nearest meat market in Southern California. A new cement floor has been built in, and a cold storage room added in the rear. An elegant sign adorns the front window, and the premises have a neat and attractive appearance. Beat all, the display of meats is unsurpassed, and customers of the firm may purchase anything the market affords in the meat line. The firm is building up an extensive patronage and is deserving of every bit of it. Frances Dauser died at the residence of her parents in North Anaheim, after a brief illness, on Tuesday of last week. She had been in excellent health up to a few days before her death, when she scratched a pimple that had appeared upon her face, and erysipelas set in, proving fatal as stated.
