LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK Yesterday's Election in the Irrigation District. Sweeping Victory for the People—Korn, Carroll, Porter, Staley and Stndtegger Elected Directors—Nebelung Assessor, Witte Collector and Reiser Treasurer—Other Items—Up Goes the Sugar Factory—City Fathers-Personal Mention. The election for members of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District passed off quietly yesterday, a light vote being polled. No excitement was manifested in this city, Mr. Korn, the present Chairman of the board, running away ahead of Mr. Hunter, who was regarded as being opposed to the district. At noon it was given out that out of the 64 votes polled Mr. Korn had 62 and Mr. Hunter 2. The result shows that Mr. Korn's position on the water question is endorsed by the people, as well as that the sentiment of the people is in favor of the district system of irrigation. At West Anaheim Tim Carroll defeated Chester Spencer by a good working majority, the vote standing 70 to 5 in his favor. At Fallerton and Placentia vigorous fights were made by the opponents of the district against Messra. Porter and Staloy, both of whom favor the district. The result shows that the sentiment of the people is in favor of the district, even where an especial effort was made by its opponents to defeat it. At Placentia there was some little friction between the two antagonistic factions. No bloodshed resulted, however, and as we go to press the irrigation goose hangs at a respectable distance from terra firma. At Yorba Mr. Stadtegger was returned unanimously. He favors the district, of which he has all along been a consistent advocate. Max Nebelung was elected Assessor, Wm. A. Witte Collector and Theodore Reiser Treasurer. The vote in the several precincts is as follows: ANAHEIM PRECINCT. Total vote polled 163. For Director—F. A. Korn, 150; G. A. Hunter, 12. Korn's majority 138. Assessor—M. Nebelung, 158; Alex Wright, 2. Collector—W. A. Witte, 155. Treasurer—Reiser, 155; P. James, 4; Thao Rimpau, J. Mrs. C. Wagnor, Mrs. O. Strobel and D. J. Herrlinger and Mrs. D. J. Kraemer, to whom she had been more than a mother. The remains were buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Rev. Chistchester conducting the services, at 10 A.M. Monday, January 23d. Deceased was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, April 22, 1826, and sailed for America in 1833. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. UP GOES THE REFINERY A BONDED INDEBTEDNESS OF $100,000 VOTED—THE MONEY READY, AND WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE. The co-operative sugar refinery will be up and running by the first of October—and probably before. It will be built in time to handle this season's beet crop, a fact of which there has all along been but little doubt. That the refinery will be erected at the earliest possible moment was demonstrated at the meeting of the stockholders, attended by farmers from the entire country-side, at Kroeger's Hall on Tuesday afternoon. The meeting was called to vote a bonded indebtedness of $400,000 for the erection of the refinery. The bonds were votunately unanimous. The roll call showed that forty-eight stockholders, representing 765 shares, were present, and ninety shareholders, holding 1,407 shares, were represented by proxy. There were thus 2,172 shares represented more than the necessary two-thirds. Before a vote was taken on the issuance of the bonds, a discussion of matters involving the success of the refinery was entered into by those present. Mr. Fowler said that John Schumann had perfected a beet cultivator, which was now on exhibition at his blacksmith shop, and was working on a beet seeder that would soon be ready, both being after the pattern adopted by Richard Gird at Chino, and suggested that the farmers visit the shop and inspect the manner of construction of the machines. Mr. Schumann extended all an invitation to call and inspect the same. A discussion arose as to the nature of the powers of the Agricultural Board, which would have charge of the method and the time of planting the beets and their delivery to the refinery. This was participated in by Messra, Fowler, Dimmock, Hess (recently arrived here from Chino), Fill, Jones and Whitaker. It was agreed that the board should have all the powers necessary to a proper systematizing of the work in the seeding and cultivation of the beets and their delivery to the refinery. Replying to the statement by outside parties which Mr. Bill had heard, to the effect that the visit of Hon. Iichard Gird here a couple of weeks ago had been made for the Flags were honored of the day.

TRUSTEE LITTLEFIELD SENDS IN HIS RESIGNATION—OTHER BUSINESS. The Board of Trustees met in regular session in the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Witte, Pellegrin and Schindler. Absent Trustees Littletield and Ruet. The Committee on Public Improvements suggested that it would be advisable to expend about $25 for repairs on some of the principal highways by filling in a few chuckholes that are now a source of annoyance. The suggestion was adopted and the committee was authorized to make the needed improvements. Also to repair crossings on the principal streets, the cost not to exceed $25. The Special Well Committee reported on the progress made in boring the new well. The borer is now in small gravel, at the depth of 204 feet, the water standing in the well 14 feet 8 inches from the surface. The committee was instructed to purchase 50 feet more of pipe at its carliest convenience, so as to push work further on the well. It is the intention of the board to bore A discussion arose as to the nature of the powers of the Agricultural Board, which would have charge of the method and the time of planting the beets and their delivery to the refinery. This was participated in by Messrs. Fowler, Dimmock, Hess (recently arrived here from Chino), Bill Jones and Whitaker. It was agreed that the board should have all the powers necessary to a proper systematizing of the work in the seeding and cultivation of the beets and their delivery to the refinery. Replying to the statement by outside parties which Mr. Bill had heard, to the effect that the visit of Hon. I Richard Gird here a couple of weeks ago had been made for the purpose of getting beets for the Chino factory in the event of the inability of the refinery here being able to handle this season's crop, Gen Pierce said the rumor reminded him of the quotation, "Tr les light as air are to the jealous confirmation strong as proofs of holy writ." The farmers should take encouragement from Mr. Gird's visit. He had united his fortunes with us, and was doing everything in his power to help the refinery along. The Directors were doing everything possible to have the refinery up and running this season. They would soon advertise for bids for doing the work, with a bond providing for the completion of the refinery in time to handle this season's beet crop. A vote was then taken on the issuance of bonds in the sum of $400,000, to run less than two years nor more than seven, and to bear $6 per cent. The vote was unanimous in favor of the bonds. The stockholders signed contracts empowering the Directors to go ahead immediately with the work of putting up the refinery. Certificates of stock were then issued. The agitation for the sugar refinery began sixteen months ago and to the first of October next, there is yet eight months in which to put up the factory. The farmers of this section have deeded in 1,100 acres, and the other 1,900 acres have been secured through the efforts of one Board of Directors from outside parties. Twenty-five thousand dollars were secured in Los Angeles for the purchase of land to be turned into the corporation. The citizens of this city should get a move on, at this, the last moment, and come forward with a liberal subscription of shares. They can do it if they want to. Had it not been for outside assistance the refinery would never have been made possible. Ten tons of beet seed will soon be here when seeding will begin. Already a large area has been plowed for this purpose. It will take two months to get the sugar machinery here from Antwerp, or such parts of it as must be procured in the old country. The refinery will be pushed ahead rapidly, and as the money for the bonds is all ready to be turned over to the corporation building operations may be looked for to begin within a very few days. Meanwhile the citizens of this city who have not been very liberal in their contributions to stock should come forward and subscribe. We learn from Mr. Fowler last evening that there will be ten tons of beet seed here next week, and that farmers may have their share of the same by applying to the Directors. FULLERTON. Fullerton is steadily moving ahead. Oil well development, warehouse building, etc., is the order of the day. The Fullerton Oil Company is getting its machinery in place and will run a pipe line to Fullerton.

It is the intention of the board to bore to the next favorable clay strata, where the pipe will be pierced, and the well will then be completed. The Electric Light Committee reported that the draft of an ordinance had been forwarded to Messrs. Clemans & Palmer and that they approved of the same. The franchise grants them the exclusive right to furnish power for light purposes for the period of five years. The following are the prices to consumers for lights: For incandescent lamps of 16 candle power, one cent per hour; are lighting, not to exceed 40 cents per lamp of 2,000 candle power, from one hour after sunset to 9 P.M.; 65 cents from one hour after sunset until midnight. The attorney has been instructed to draw up the ordinance, which will be presented to the board at a meeting to be held in the near future. The construction of the plant will have to be commenced within thirty days after the acceptance of the franchise and completed within four months. The bill of Mr. Platt for $275 for boring the city well to the depth of 204 feet was presented. The bill was allowed, subject to the approval of the committee. A communication was received from Trustee Littlefield requesting the board to accept his resignation as Trustee, as he will be absent from the city for an indefinite period in the New River country. The resignation was reluctantly accepted, and it was ordered that the thanks of the board be extended to Mr. Littlefield for his past labors in the interests of the city. The appointment of his successor will be made at some future date. A lengthy communication was received from J. S. Pittman of Santa Ana in regard to his demand for a rebate of taxes.

The Fullerton Oil Company is getting its machinery in place and will run a pipeline to Fullerton. The warehouse being built by our prosperous lumber merchant, Mr. Grimshaw, is rapidly nearing completion. Mr. Lionel Browning will soon put up an extra large warehouse. It has already been rented for a term of five years by the hustling firm of Stern & Goodman. Prof. Richman of the Iowa State Agricultural College has purchased fifteen acres from A. McDermont. Prof. Richman during the winter examined the various celebrated fruit regions of California, including the Newcastle, Sacramento, Central California, Santa Barbara, Riverside, Fullerton and others, and considers Fullerton far ahead of all the others. As this is the opinion of an expert and as he verifies it by his investment, Fullertonites have cause to feel proud. Mr. and Mrs. Shamm of Muscatine, Iowa, visited Fullerton the past week. Mr. Shamm is a retired wholesale grocer and is spending the winter in Southern California. His opinion is that Fullerton is far ahead of any other place in soil and its varied productions. Unimproved land for sale is a minus quantity in this vicinity. The fine soaking rain that we have had is worth—well, we won't try to guess—but the ranchers have broad smiles on their faces. Some more marriages "on the list." We won't give the prospective couples away, but Mr. Editor, you want to keep your "fancy script" ready. Fullerton young people are great on the marry.

Yesterday afternoon it looked like rain, and we guess we can stand 3.55 inches more. Let her go, Mr. Weather Clerk. The streets are muddy after the rain, but good gravel crosswalks have been put in, and we imagine the city folks can stand it, especially as the farmers are wearing such broad smiles, and crops are assured, to say nothing of the farmers being jubilant. Dr. Johnson's new monthly magazine, relict of the Peak Land Tribune, has made its appearance and presents a very creditable appearance. The Doctor is a rustler, and will doubtless shake up the dry bones of the Santa Ana newspaper field. We wish him every success in his enterprise. While Robt. Boettscher was driving his spirited trotter in the neighborhood of Carmina one evening last week he accidentally drove the horse into a barbed wire that had been stretched across an open gate. The character of "Ferguson--A Social Problem," was also above the average, and was a very clever bit of difficult dilemma. The show on the whole was good. We should have more of them and less of the barnstorming "Russell comedians" and others of their likke. President Korn and Secretary Garwood of the irrigation district yesterday afternoon publicly destroyed the old series of $600,000 bonds of the district, on the old Planters' Hotel corner. Mr. Korn lit the match, and the bonds were consumed in the presence of a large number of spectators. The reason for the destroying of the bonds was because of the adoption of a new style of bond, the old ones having gone out of date. The new bonds are now in the bank, and will be ready to be turned over at the opening of bids for their purchase at to-morrow's meeting of the board. The brave New River voyagers have not been able to get away, on account of the rain, but they are all ready to start, and will probably leave this morning. The party consists of S. Littlefield, Ed Morgan, W. M. Walker and Frank Littlefield. They will be accompanied by A. E. Putney, the Compton well-borer, and will try to strike artesian water at an available point near New River. They go well prepared to withstand the hardships of the journey, and will be well fortified against any possible danger from snake-bite. May good luck attend them, and may they strike artesian water without trouble and soon be home again. A glorious rain has fallen during the week. The precipitation began last Thursday evening and continued with slight interruptions until yesterday, with the indications good for more rain. Mr. Dickel's guage marks 3.55 inches for the storm, and 7.20 inches for the season. Last year we had 2.06 inches to date, and 7.68 inches for the entire season. The rain has come in the nick of time, and will do a world of good. Barley is looking splendidly, and feed is growing luxuriantly. The indications are that we shall have a most favorable year. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to the Junior World's Fair, which will be held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms at San Diego, from February 7th to the 16th.

Clarence Groat and Viet Bentz swooped down upon four life-sized tramps at Santa Fe depot one evening last week, just as the north-bound freight was about to pull out, and which the brake-beam tourists were preparing to board in one time and two motions. There ensued an immediate scatterment of the tramp fraternity, wherefore the only one captured was a lusty youngster whom Groat gathered into the bosom of law, the others losing themselves in the darkness. The officers started up town with their prize, but he begged so pitifully to be allowed to go with the others that Groat, exacting a solemn promise from him never to come this way again, allowed him to swim out on his way rejoicing. Preparations for the masquerade ball to be given by the Fullerton Brass Band at Chadbourne's Hall on Friday evening, the 10th, are progressing with unabated vigor, and the indications are that the affair will be one of the events of the season. The members of the band are Walter Crowther, leader; Wesley Alms, Elmer Ford, Ed Beasley, Birt Anniu, Henry and John Hotebrink, John Fiuelle, Jim Gardiner, William and Oliver Schumacher and Ora Sprague. E.H. Stone will be floor manager, W.L.Hale and R.Meas, inspectors; and William Schumacher, Jim Gardiner and Ora Spraguethe reception committee. A good supper will be spread by the band in Chadbourne's block. The boys should have a crowded house. The band is a very meritorious organization. Walter Crowther being one of the finest cornetists in this section. Turn out and give the boys a rousing reception. Among the killed in the railroad disaster at Alton, Illinois, last week, mention of which has been made in the Associated Press dispatches, was Engine Webb Ross, an old-time friend of our townman Col.Everharty, who was formerly for many years a highly respected resident of that State, and who enjoyed many a ride on the unfortunate engineer's locomotive. Ross was pullingthe limited express over the Big Four road, and was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour when he ran into a string o twenty oil cars that had been carelessly allowed to remain across junction. His train was running too fast to be stopped in time to avorthe disaster, but he stuck to his engine and applied the air brakes when he struck oil cars, sending 7,000 gallons of oil flying in all directions. The oil took fire and Ross was burned to death atthe side of his engine, he having jumped to save his life fromthe flames.Eight persons were killed inthe disaster,and many more were fatally injured.Ross leaves a wife and six children at Mattoon, Illinoiswhere Col.Everharty resided,and knew him as one ofthe best and bravest engineersin that The many friends of Miss Bertha Stoneof San Francisco,the visitor herewithMr.andMrs.Horrwillbe painedtolearnthatshehadthemisfortunetosustainquitea seriousconsequences,theknecaphavenebaidlopenbut,bweapleasedto saythatno harmresultedexcepttoconfineMr.Goodaletohis bedforsevereworks.

It was some time before the offending chip could be removed and the eye was in consequence quite severely burned. The inflammation yielded to treatment readily, but John wore a bandage over his eye for a couple of days as a reminder of the fact that there are many kinds of chips in this world more dangerous than a hot stool chip in the eye. Tim Carroll has secured judgment against Judge C. M. Heintz, editor of the Los Angeles Rural Californian, by due process of law. Tim furnished Heintz with a lot of orange trees, free from scale and true to name, and when he presented Heintz the bill he wouldn't pay, so Tim invoked the majesty of the law, and secured judgment against the frisky editor in the amount of $102 33, all of it of the circulating medium of therealm. Tim has funny notions that way: when he has a bill against a man he wants his pay, just like the rest of us. Heintz on the other hand is noted as the editor who can talk more and say less than any other man in Southern California, bar none. Three youths to fortune and to fame unknown, hailing from the classic presidents of Garden Grove, of the names of Victor Zerman, Willie Davis and George Trel, allegiance to their environments and habitat renouncing, likewise scoring, set out to see the world, traveling as far as this destined to be big railroad center and sugar factory town. Arriving here they had the bad luck to encounter their parents, who had overtaken them, stern, unyielding and full of irie, and were persuaded to return forthwith to the privacy of their homes, where, according to a veracious Santa Ana chronicler, the seats of their trowers were abundantly warmed by coming in contact with the rough side of a pine shake in the hands of their parents, applied sodulously. Now therefore are they full convinced there is no place like home. On account of the rain the performance by Alba Heywood at the Opera-house last Friday evening was not so largely attended as its merits deserved. The entertainment was among the best that has been seen here for a long time, and was much enjoyed by those present. As a versatile actor Heywood has few superiors. His impersonation of the rollicking Tom Dilloway, Silly Billy, the old man, old maid, and the tramp, gave him an opportunity to the display of his versatility of talent to a marked degree. The work of Mr. Harry Stoddard in the Four road, and was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour, when he ran into a string of twenty oil cars that had been carelessly allowed to remain across the junction. His train was running too fast to be stopped in time to avert the disaster, but he stuck to his engine and applied the air brakes, when he struck the oil pipes, sending 7,000 gallons of oil flying in all directions. The oil took fire and Ross was burned to death at the side of his engine, he having jumped to save his life from the flames. Eight persons were killed in the disaster, and many more were fatally injured. Ross leaves a wife and six children at Mattoon, Illinois, where Col. Everhart resided, and know him as one of the best and bravest engineers in that section. Posters are out announcing a glove contest between Billy Kennedy of San Francisco (175 pounds weight) and Professor Lymburner, well known here, but at present of Los Angeles (170 pounds in the scales). Kennedy contracts to put out the Professor in ten rounds, and the argument will be for $250 a side. The piece de resistance will be preceded by some set-tos by local talent, and the management contract to make the exhibition entertaining as well as instructive to the large crowd that is sure to be present and occupy front seats. The argument between Kennedy and the Professor is to be strictly on the square, and no hippodromum allowed. Kennedy appears to be big enough and strong enough to knock the Professor out, but the Professor has wonderful staying qualities and can take punishment by the blobs. He has had one or two encounters with hard bitters since his last appearance here, and has come out victor in each case. They say he is after Frank Childs, and then Peter Jackson, and we think the boy would give a good account of himself in either discussion. He is training in Los Angeles, while Kennedy is going through the process here, under the guidance of Prof. Smith, a cousin of the hard-hitting Solly Smith, who is rapidly climbing up the ladder of the fistio empire. Kennedy pulled with the heavy-weight team in the recent tug-of-war here, and made many friends by his staying qualities. He is a molest and good natured fellow, and tells us the exhibition will be on the level. Some of George Betta's many friends are trying to induce him to box a few rounds at the show, and he may be induced to forego his recently expressed determination to abandon the ring. George is the clearest amateur boxer in Southern California, and his friends would like to see him put on the mittens again. There should be a good crowd out to see what the boys can do. At the residence of the bride's parents in this city there was solemnized on Monday the marriage of Mr. John Matter of San Bernardino and Miss Sophie Kroeger, the amiable daughter of our worthy townpeople, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kroeger. The ceremony was performed by Rev. G. W. Schroeder of the German Methodist Church, and was witnessed only by the members of the family and a few friends of the high contracting parties. Mr. Matter is the popular proprietor of the St. Charles Hotel at San Bernardino, and was formerly a resident of this city. The bride is well known here by a large circle of friends as a lady of many rare qualities of mind and heart, and numbers her acquaintances on all sides. The happy couple left on the evening train for San Bernardino, where they will take up their permanent residence. We join their many friends in wishing them a life of prosperity and happiness. The tax-payers of this city will learn with regret that Mr. Sheldon Littlefield has tendered his resignation as a member of the Board of City Trustees. Mr. Littlefield finds that his interests in the New River country will necessitate his absence from this city for some weeks, perhaps months, and so he feels himself impelled to resign from the board, of which he has been an active member for many years. Thus do the Trustees lose a valuable member, who has been ever alert and energetic in the espousal of the interests of the people, as painstaking in his endeavors to work for the city's good as he has been active in promoting her welfare. Mr. Littlefield carries with him the cordial good will of a host of friends who trust sincerely that the enterprise in the far away New River country, of which he has been the fountain head and source in inspiration, may not him dollars incalculable, and that he may be privileged soon to return to his home in this city. Murringe MATTER-KROEGER-At the residence of the bride's parents, in this city Monday January 30th 1833 by the Rev.
