LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK Fiasco of the Opposition to the Sugar Refinery. The Stockholders Are Satisfied With the Directors—No "Want of Confidence" Voted-Other Items-Frank Ford Sulcides-Water Matters-Social News and Personal Mention. A meeting of the dissatisfied stockholders in the co-operative beet sugar corporation, headed by Dr. Pfeninger, who, as Mr. Fowler says, is always making trouble, and Farmer Gilbert, who went into the war a private and returned in command of a company, was held at Kroeger's Hall on Tuesday afternoon, for the purpose, as had been given out, of discussing the beet sugar situation and to come to some determination as to what had best be done in view of the fact that the erection of the proposed refinery was impossible this year. It had been rumored that "plain talk" would be the rule, and that some "unpleasant disclosures" would be forthcoming, very much to the discomfiture of the Directors, who had so signally failed in getting the refinery this year. There had been too much "misrepresentation," and all that sort of thing, regarding the factory, and at last the whole business was about to come out, a vote of want of confidence in the Directors would be carried with a shout and the refinery knocked higher than a kite when kites are flying. All these things, however, were honored more in the breach than the observance. The mountain labored and brought forth a mouse. After a lengthy discussion of the affairs of the corporation and an explanation by Mr. Fowler as to the present status of affairs, which seemed entirely satisfactory to those present, the meeting resolved to adjourn to the first of December, before which time it is confidently believed that work on the refinery will begin. About two dozen gentlemen were present when the meeting was called to order. Max Nobelung was chosen to preside, and stated the object of the meeting as being an informal coming together of the stockholders for the purpose of discussing matters pertaining to the proposed refinery. He referred to the visit here of Mr. Kjolgaard, mentioned elsewhere in this issue, as a favorable indication that the refinery would be greatly agitated, attempted to strike Mr. Fowler in front of the Commercial Hotel. Bystanders interfered and the excitement subsided. Dr. Weiler, who came to scoff and remained to pray, gave instructions for the putting in of his ten acres to beets. Mr. Phillip Berth, who owns 162 acres in the company, and who had been misled by wild and sensational reports, is also satisfied with the management of the corporation and will put a large tract of his land in beets. So it will be seen, as we have all along said, that the refinery is all right, and the sugar boat goose hangs suspended at a tolerably satisfactory distance from terra firma. THE SUGAR REFINERY. CONTRACTS DRAWN FIXING THE PRICE TO BE PAID FOR BEETS AT CHINO —MR. KJELGAARD'S PLAN. The Board of Directors of the sugar refinery held a meeting at the Commercial Hotel last Saturday afternoon. There were present Messrs. Jones, French, Pierce and Richard Gird, and Secretary Marks. After the transaction of routine business the following resolutions were adopted: WHEREAS The Anaheim Co-operative Beet Sugar Company have made arrangements with Hon. Richard Gird for him to purchase all beets which this company may not be able to work into sugar, and has agreed to pay the following prizes: $3 50 for all beets yielding 12% of sugar, and forty cents for each per cent of sugar above 12%, with no charge for unloading care; and WHEREAS The Southern Pacific Railroad company has entered into a contract to transport all beats at the rate of 87½ cents per ton from any point on said railroad to Chino. Therefore Resolved That the Anaheim Co-operative Beet Sugar Company purchase all beets raised by the stockholders in this company, or by any others, and will receive and pay for all sugar beets analyzing 12% of sugar and upwards delivered in carload lots at any point on the Southern Pacific Railroad, and this company will assume all responsibility for the shipment of said beets to Chino, and the raisers of beets will be relieved of all trouble of collections and care of the beets after delivery to this company. Secretary Marks was authorized to draw up blank contracts for beet raisers on the above terms, and they are now ready for signature. From twelve to fifteen hundred acres will be seeded to beets here this season. Mr. Kjolgaard, mention of whose arrival was made in these columns last week, was present and addressed the board upon the erection of a refinery. He represents a party —Horrors!

Max Nobelung was chosen to preside, and stated the object of the meeting as being an informal coming together of the stockholders for the purpose of discussing matters pertaining to the proposed refinery. He referred to the visit here of Mr. Kjolgaard, mentioned elsewhere in this issue, as a favorable indication that the refinery would be built without doubt next year, and counsel all dissatisfied stockholders to await the results of Mr. Kjolgaard's examination. He then called for an expression of opinion from those present. Dr. Richard Weiler of Los Angeles, a gentleman of much experience and ripe judgment, suggested that Mr. Fowler, the President of the corporation, who was present, be called upon to enlighten the meeting on the status of refinery affairs. Mr. Fowler began by asking that he was sorry more stockholders were not present, as he desired very much to give them all the information he possessed. He narrated at length the efforts of the Directors to obtain capital, and alluded to the folly of trying to erect the refinery this year. The dissatisfaction is all caused by the non-erection of the refinery, but if the Directors could get the money now to put up the works they would refuse to take it. The refinery could not be built in time to make sugar this year, and the stockholders would only find themselves confronted with a big interest bill next summer, and with no money on hand to pay it. Negotiations would nevertheless go along until the policy of the Administration should be formulated, and he was entirely satisfied that by the 1st of December next the capital would be on hand and work on the refinery in operation, and the works up in time for the next best season. He advised the planting of beets this year. That would give the stockholders very valuable experience, and favorable arrangements had been made with Mr. Gird to take all the beets at a good price at Chino. If we raised ten to fifteen thousand tons of rich beets here this year, that of itself would act as a great stimulus to the investment of capital. As to the standing of the company, the stockholders would be given a statement as soon as the secretary could make it out. The condition of the company was excellent, in fact was better now than ever. While the Directors failed in their efforts to have the refinery running this year, and were sorry for it, still the indications were that it would be built without doubt next year. It is an unwise policy to rush a big refinery to completion, and with a plenty of time to put it up next year, the work could proceed economically and well in time for the next campaign. The entire amount of 3,000 acres of land had been subscribed, and for such part of it as had not yet been deeded in there was money on deposit in bank to pay, and the same would be purchased and deeded into the corporation at the earliest possible moment. The land had all been examined and picked out with single reference to its adaptability to beet culture, and is now in course of being acquired. As to the present negotiations of the directors he could say nothing, but they were doing their level best to secure the means for the erection of the works, and he had overy confidence that they would succeed. They received no salary and desired none, and had paid out no salary and desired none, and had any point on the Southern Pacific Railroad, and this company will assume all responsibility for the shipment of said beets to Chino, and the raisers of beets will be relieved of all trouble of collections and care of the beets after delivery to this company. Secretary Marks was authorized to draw up blank contracts for beet raisers on the above terms, and they are now ready for signature. From twelve to fifteen hundred acres will be seeded to beets here this season. Mr. Kjolgaard, mention of whose arrival was made in these columns last week, was present and addressed the board upon the erection of a refinery. He represents a party of New York capitalists who are interesting themselves in sugar, and has been over the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Utah and Tennessee, as well as through the northern section of California, looking for favorable locations for the erection of refineries. He was at Chino a couple of weeks ago, when he heard of the efforts of our people to start a refinery and immediately came over to investigate. He met the farmers of Westminster, Garden Grove and Buena Park, and was highly gratified at the prospects for beet raising, and was satisfied to recommend to his people that the first refinery shall be erected here. He said that the country about Anheim was the best beet country he had seen during his travels, and held out every assurance that the refinery would be erected in time for next season's beet crop. He was in fact so well satisfied with the outlook here that he resolved to take his departure at once for New York to report. He started for the east on Sunday, and will return with his people in probably seven or eight weeks. Mr. Kjolgaard comes with the recommendation of Hon. Richard Gird of Chino, who is a member of the Board of Directors, and who was present at the meeting. Mr. Gird stated in conversation that if ten or fifteen thousand tons of good beets were raised here this season, there could be but very little doubt as to the erection of a refinery here next season. Once it is proven that this country is adapted to best culture there will be very little difficulty in getting a refinery. In fact, Mr. Gird said, it is quite probable that the Oxnards will put up a factory here, if the present crop of beets yields sugar in the quantities expected of it. A wire is expected from Mr. Kjolgaard in a day or two. SUICIDE FRANK H. FORD, A YOUNG CARPENTER, TAKES HIS LIFE AT THE DEL CAMPO HOTEL. Frank H. Ford, a carpenter, 28 years old, who recently arrived here from San Bernardino, committed suicide at the Del Campo hotel on Monday evening. At 8 o'clock that evening the inmates of the hotel were startled by the announcement that a man upstairs had taken strychnin oil and was calling for help. Dra. Bullard and Hunt were immediately sent for and were soon at the unfortunate man's side, and administered remedies for his relief. These were of no avail, and after lingering during the night in great pain, he died at half-past 11 o'clock on Tuesday morning. His sufferings were intense, and frequently when in a rational mood he would speak feelingly of his wife and children.

The land had all been examined and picked out with single reference to its adaptability to best culture, and is now in course of being acquired. As to the present negotiations of the directors he could say nothing, but they were doing their level best to secure the means for the erection of the works, and he had every confidence that they would succeed. They received no salary and desired none, and had paid out of their own pockets several hundred dollars of company bills. As to the bounty, he did not think it would be taken off without some compensating tariff legislation. The policy of the administration would soon be known as to that. If there were no bounty and sugar was admitted free, he did not think the stockholders would want to build a refinery. So it, is heat to wait and see what the Democratic policy will be. The company is under no expenses at present, except for the salary of the secretary, and he has been in the company's employ only two weeks. All the bills so far contracted would amount to not more than $1500, and they could be paid for in bonds. Dr. Weiler said he was entirely satisfied with the state of affairs. He had hoard so many sensational rumors lately about the refinery that he had become alarmed and signed a call for a stockholders' meeting to investigate affairs. After Mr. Fowler's explanation he found that the rumors were altogether unfounded, and he was altogether satisfied with the way the company stands. There was nothing to do now but to take a ballot on the proposed vote of want of confidence and adjourn. Mr. Lathrop said he could not see how the directors were to blame for the non-erection of the factory. They had done their level best and failed. That was no disgrace and he believed they should be given every moral and financial support. Mr. Gilbert said he was dissatisfied and wanted to get out. Dr. Pleninger was also dissatisfied, and said he would make an effort to get out. Our people have been working for nearly two years to get this refinery going. Dr. Pleninger has had his deed up for about two months of that time, and now he wants it back. The other stockholders say he will have a merry time getting it back. No one seemed disposed to move a vote of want of confidence in the directors, so Mr. Lathrop moved to adjourn until the first of December. This was carried, the only ones voting against it being Mr. Gilbert and Dr. Pleniger. Previous to the meeting Gilbert, who was hotel on Monday evening. At 8 o'clock that evening the inmates of the hotel were startled by the announcement that a man upstairs had taken strychnin oil and was calling for help. Dra. Bullard and Hunt were immediately sent for and were soon at the unfortunate man's side, and administered remedies for his relief. These were of no avail, and after lingering during the night in great pain, he died at half-past 11 o'clock on Tuesday morning. His sufferings were intense, and frequently when in a rational mood he would speak feelingly of his wife and children. He admitted that he had had some trouble with his brother-in-law, claiming that letters had been written to his home concerning him, which it is supposed caused him to take the poison. He had also been drinking heavily of late. The dose of poison was evidently a large one, for he was convulsed in violent spasms almost inconspectually throughout the night and until his death. His mother-in-law was telegraphed to and arrived here at noon Tuesday. His wife was seriously ill and could not come. He left the following letter: Dear Brother Workmen—I belong to Citrus Lodge of San Bernardino Will you please telegraph my mother-in-law Mrs. J. C. Teeter at his dorm room that I am dead. Please wire at once on 12710 West Fourth street, or care of Harrison & Pace Third. Judge Landell or John knows me well. Do not telegraph my wife; if fear it would kill her. Let mother break the news to her. I am in good standing with my lodge. The letters in my pocket I ask of my broter ser workmen to deliver to my darling wife. Please do not let them be made public; they are prerails No one is responsible for my desire but myself. If these letters are given to Judge Landell or Jack they will be delivered safely to my dear wife. Please do not let her public see them, as they are only farewells to my good kind-hearted wife. Any favor my brother A. O.; U. W. can do in preparing my body to be sent home be appreciated in C. H. and P. Please do not go to any more expense on me than necessary. You will receive orders from my wife once I find friends, do not doubt me when I say I am ill good standing with my lodge O. B. Peck is my financier I showed Mr. Cohn my receipt. He is a bro Jer Wo'man. To Judge Landell: Please deliver my visee to those who take charge of my body, as there are some clothes in it they will need for me. The railroad check on me is for my tool chest at the Santa Fe depot. Dear kind friends, may we meet in heaven. No one is to blame for my death but myself. Yours in C. H. and P. FRANK H. FORD. The Coroner hold an inquiry on the body in the afternoon. A verdict was rendered in accordance with the foregoing facts. Millisery Store. Mrs. J. D.

A basket of beautiful wild flowers decorated Judge Landell's courtroom last Tuesday morning, fresh from the mea below town, toward Centralia. The flowers were of every conceivable hue, and filled the room with an uncommon fragrance. They were plucked for the botany class in the Los Angeles Normal School, of which the Judge's daughter, Miss Daisy, is a member. Some months ago phylloxera was discovered in a vineyard owned by Fred Rohr near the Southern Pacific depot at Santa Ana. Two Horticultural Commissioners sent samples of the diseased vines to C. J. Wetmore, the chief Horticultural Commissioner of the State Commission, and after a thorough examination he telegraphs that phylloxera exists in the vines. The Horticultural Commissioners desired Mr. Kohra to flood his vineyard, but this he refused to do. Subsequently, however, the infected vines were pulled up and burned. There is no further evidence of phylloxera in the county. A party of campers from San Antonio canyon who visited the Landing one day last week succeeded in playing smash generally. They amused themselves by shooting a couple of ducks and a rail, which is against the law, and by breaking into Lewis Bole's house, and taking out the large seine and ruining it, which is also more or less of an offense against the law. Warrants will probably issue for them, when they will be given an opportunity to answer for their sins. A delegation of about one hundred and fifty of Los Angeles turners, accompanied by their wives and families, will be in Anaheim next Sunday on a visit to the Turn Vernon of this city. They will come on a special train, arriving here at half past 9 A.M., and returning to their homes along toward midnight. The local turners will provide a sumptuous luncheon for them at Kroeger's Hall at noon, and in the afternoon an entertaining programme, consisting of turning by the Los Angeles and Anaheim turners, music, singing, etc., will be given at the Opera-house. Music will be furnished by Prof. Crowther's string band. In the evening there will be a social hop. Deputy Sheriff Buckley sold the office building and fixtures and balance of stock in Gado's nursery on Monday, the purchasers 27 games won, 2 games lost, 20 percentage against them, four thousand. Two lonely games taken from the crippled Stocktons, who hadn't seen a ball in two hard winters. Had the Slough City swatters been in any form the record would have been something like this: Games played, 27; games won, not any; games lost, 27; percentage against them, ten thousand. Then when they get home the populace will fall on their nocks and slay them. Pap McCauley will be the first victim. He is getting old, and should be sent to the soldiers' home. He played a great game last year, but this season he isn't in it—the old boss is out of it, and out of respect for the feelings of his friends ought to be released and killed. Then there is Lytle, whose error lost the game last Sunday. Some kind-hearted friend ought to lead him out into a quiet spot and gently but firmly put him to death. His name is Mud, and Rasyk of the surname Wright and the young gentleman who operates in left field—all of them should be killed—peaceably if they can, forbibly if they won't. Next? Hulin? Come up, Kid, and get your sentence. Listen: A third baseman, of all the men upon the field, should pick up the ball cleanly, handle it quickly or not at all, and get it over to first without delay. Sabe? You don't do this. You play a good third, but you don't handle the ball as you should. You're too slow. Otherwise you may pass—that is if you hit the ball like you did in the opening game—four doubles, two singles, a couple of triples and a home run. See? Sheibook? Everybody is again you, but we must say your playing is frequently without error. Your sentence is therefore suspended. Come out, Glennavin! We're after you! You're the worst one of the lot. You were a ball player once, but have got in such bad company that you should be promptly arrested by the police, and turned over to the vigilantes. Roach and Nicoll? We think—mind, we say we think—they may succeed in landing us in third place, but they will have a tough job to do it, and we shall probably be a bad fourth if it doesn't rain. The whole nine stand up—Pete Lohman with the rest of you. The sentence of the court is that you be raffled off, every one of you, the proceeds to go to charity, unless you win more games. Tickets two for a bit. For Sale. Jump-seat surrey, good as new. Tent, extra heavy ducking, 18x20, cheap. Apply to Prof. Frantz. Isaac Lyons is the sole agent for Pillsbury's Best Minneapolis flour.

Eugene Maxwell of Uncle Sam's internal revenue department was down from Los Angeles on Tuesday for the purpose of informing the Chinese bosses that the heathen will have to be registered under the Geary Act or suffer deportation to China. The Act provides that all Chinese must be registered before May 5th, failing in which they will be arrested and sent back home. Man Wino formed Mr. Maxwell that insults as he has not heard from the Chinese Six Companies in San Francisco he could not permit his men to register, but would bring the case to the notice of his superiors when he would take action in the matter. Max well informs us that probably several ships load of the celestials will be sent to the Flowery Kingdom from San Pedro. We don't know whether it should be mentioned, but Gene will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Sheriff of Los Angeles next year. He was accompanied on his trip to Anaheim by his wife and baby. Mr. Perry is considerably nettled over the action of the Supervisors in not allowing him a sufficient number of tents to carry out his fumigating crusade against the scale. He appeared before the board on Monday and asked to be provided with twenty-two tentsto be used for fumigating scale throughout the county. The District Attorney had given an opinion to the effect that the board could furnish money from the General Fund for that purpose, but the board refused to make the appropriation, which would amount to $800. Mr. Perry had secured a bond from some of the leading citizens of this vicinity, embracing the names of Messrs Langenberger, Gosch, Moredith, Carroll Rust, Korn, W. J. Smith and J. J. Dyer, to pay for the tents in a year—the county in the mean time to have the use of them—but the board could not see it in that light, and refused to appropriate money for the purpose. Fumigation will go on with the tents already in use, and the scale will effectively wiped out in this section. Nevertheless the Horticultural Commissioners will be haunted in their work, and it is to be regretted that the Supervisors have not taken steps to provide them with the necessary number of additional tents.
