THE FINANCIAL FLURRY. The Bank of Anaheim Closes Its Doors. A Steady Drain of Coin During the Past Two Weeks the Cause of It—The Institution Has Assets Sufficient to Pay All Depositors Mr. James Says Depositors Will Be Paid In Full Los Angeles Banks Fall—Other Items City Trustees West Anaheim Notes Target Practice. MR. JAMES' STATEMENT. We are not as yet able to give to the public any detailed statement of the condition of the Bank of Anaheim. We are satisfied, however, that there are resources sufficient to pay all depositors, but it will take time to realize on the securities. Ordinarily we have been able to get help from banks in Los Angeles and San Francisco, but the present condition of the money market is so unsettled that each and every bank has to husband its resources. We paid out as long as we had any money, and when it was all gone we had to quit. PLEZ JAMES The Bank of Anaheim closed its doors at noon yesterday. A steady drain of coin had been in progress for two weeks past, and the strain culminated yesterday shortly after banking hours, when no money was left on hand to pay the checks presented at the counter. At noon the curtains were run up, and the announcement was made that a temporary suspension was forced upon the institution. The larger depositors in town refrained from calling for their money, having abundant faith in the solvency of the bank. There was a notable absence of any tendency to excitement, and a feeling of confidence exists that the bank will be able to pay dollar for dollar. The present unsettled condition of the money market, the panicky feeling throughout the East, extending to this coast, and culminating in the wreck of the banks at Riverside and San Bernardino, and the crash in Los Angeles yesterday, when all but two of the banks were forced to suspend the services of Wilson & Lamme were by resolution dispensed with, and Broussau & Thomas were selected as the attorneys of the district, at a salary of $50 per month, and $1,000 each for the prosecution of the two condemnation suits. The Union Trust Company of San Francisco were selected as Trustee; to hold in trust for the district its property as security for its indebtedness. The charges of the Trust Company for acting as Trustee are as follows: For certification (35 cents each bond), $560; for registration, if required, 25 cents each. The President and Secretary were instructed to have prepared bonds in the sum of $600,000 in all things in accordance with the laws of the State. The bonds will be in ten series, and will be presented for approval by the board at their next meeting. WEST ANAHEIM. BEETS LOOKING FINE, AND SHIPMENTS TO BEGIN IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS CLEAN THE WEEDS FROM ROADS. All the hay in this district is now cut excepting one or two pieces that were sown late, and though these will not yield such heavy crops as those sown earlier, the hay will be of great deal finer quality. Beets are looking fine. Most of them are now laid by and are gathering in their sugar during the time that the sun shines. H. L. Hugunin, who had his arm broken some time ago, is almost ready for work again. Is it not time that the Supervisors were having the weeds on our roads attended to? Once upon a time they advertised for bids to grade our roads, and to attend to them and have the weeds out down twice during the summer. In some places the sunflowers are higher than a man's head, leaving only a narrow track for vehicles. It would have been better if the old trail had been left. The road between sections 18 and 19 was promised us last fall, and it was all cleaned off, as our citizens understood, at the expense of the county, but it is now nearly as bad as ever, not so much by new growth, but by dead trees and brush thrown out from the ranch house on the corner. This county should not again be called upon to clear off. This obstruction covers about half of the prescribed width of the road for a short distance. Some time ago the Southern Pacific Railroad extended their side track across Broadway, and now it is almost dangerous to cross in a light rig, as the soil between the rails has nearly all blown away in the shape of fine dust. Why don't the City Trustees... The larger depositors in town refrained from calling for their money, having abundant faith in the solvency of the bank. There was a notable absence of any tendency to excitement, and a feeling of confidence exists that the bank will be able to pay dollar for dollar. The present unsettled condition of the money market, the panicky feeling throughout the East, extending to this coast, and culminating in the wreck of the banks at Riverside and San Bernardino, and the crash in Los Angeles yesterday, when all but two of the banks were forced to suspend payment, is the cause of the closing down of the institution. No bank can stand the mad rush of depositors that has been in progress in different parts of the country, and so closely are the interests of one bank with another interwoven, that the failure of one has a widespread and disturbing effect upon all. The direct cause of the suspension is attributable to the failure of the First National Bank of Los Angeles, which seems to have been engulped in the financial crash that has come upon the Angelic City. The First National had all along been regarded as one of the safest institutions in the State, and a day or two ago was understood to have received a million of dollars in gold to stem the tide of the constantly increasing outflow. Its suspension yesterday morning had a direct effect upon the Bank here. For some days past the First National has been unable to render any assistance. Mr. James, the President of the bank, than whom there is not a more conservative or safer banker in the country, said yesterday that the depositors would be paid in full. There was talk last evening of calling the larger depositors together for the purpose of devising some means whereby the bank could resume business. State Bank Examiner Dunsmoor, in his examination of the bank last April, found the assets of the bank to be $154,993.36. The wise business management of the bank has rendered it one of the safest in the country, and depositors have every assurance that they will be paid dollar for dollar. Mr. James is Treasurer for the water company, with bonds of $2,000, with the following substantial business men as sureties in sums of $1,000 each: Theo. Rimpau, H. Cahen, Adolph Rimpau and A. Langenberger. The company had $4,731.23 on deposit, and the irrigation district, of which Mr. Reiser is Treasurer, had $3,121 on deposit. Mr. James was also Treasurer of the city of Anaheim, which had about $1,200 on deposit at his last report two weeks ago. Mr. James' bond as Treasurer of the city is given in the amount of $10,000, with the following gentlemen as sureties: Theo. Rimpau, $5,000; H. Cahen, $5,000; Richard Melrose, $5,000, and L. F. Lewis $5,000. The heaviest stockholder in the bank is H. H. Mayberry of Los Angeles, one of the Judge Towner has matter of H. C.

Gus Schade has been billed of George Fehner in The company had $4,731.23 on deposit, and the irrigation district, of which Mr. Reisor is Treasurer, had $3,121 on deposit. Mr. James was also Treasurer of the city of Anaheim, which had about $1,200 on deposit at his last report two weeks ago. Mr. James's bond as Treasurer of the city is given in the amount of $10,000, with the following gentlemen as sureties: Theo. Rimpau, $5,000; H. Cahen, $5,000; Richard Melrose, $5,000, and L. F. Lewis $5,000. The heaviest stockholder in the bank is H. H. Mayberry of Los Angeles, one of the wealthiest capitalists in Southern California. Mr. Mayberry is now in the East, and several telegrams were sent after him yesterday. No answer has been received from him at the time of this writing, and it is expected that, having heard of the crash in Los Angeles, he is on the cars on his journey home. The State Bank Examiner was also telegraphed to, and he will be here as soon as he can, probably to-day. Mr. James was completely prostrated at the turn of affairs, but he has the satisfaction of knowing that the moneyed men of this city are with him, and he will be accorded every assistance. After the Bank Examiner arrives and the financial standing of the bank is arrived at, a meeting of the heaviest depositors will be held, and we feel confident that the bank will be able to resume business. LOS ANGELES BANKS A veritable panic prevailed in Los Angeles yesterday, when six banks suspended payment. The First National did not open its doors. A notice was posted on the doors saying that $600,000 had been paid out the day before, and that the bank was forced to close. I. W. Hellman arrived in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon with half a million in gold for the Farmers & Merchants' Bank. A run was in progress on the Farmers & Merchants' for a short time yesterday afternoon, but the bank has money enough to pay depositors who wish to draw out. A report prevailed on the streets yesterday that the First National Bank at Santa Ana had suspended, but later reports proved the story to be unfounded. Two banks at San Diego failed yesterday afternoon. The financial panic seems to be general throughout Southern California, and it is difficult to say where it will end. IRRIGATION DISTRICT The Directors of the irrigation district met last week in adjourned session, when WESTMINSTER ITEMS NEWSY NOTES AND HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST DOWN IN THE PEAT LANDS. We are sorry to report that Mrs. Allie Thompson is very sick. Dr. Wilson says she has a serious attack of bilious fever. Mr. John Harris Sr. has had a very dangerous attack of neuralgia of the heart. He is reported better at present. There is quite a whooping cough epidemic among the children south of town. Mr. and Mrs. McFadden and daughter of Manitoba are expected to arrive in Westminster in a few days. They come to make their home here, if they find congenial climate and people. We predict they will stay among us. Miss Ellen Penhall and Mr. Will Timson were married at the residence of the bride's mother last Saturday evening. We wish them a long and happy life. May joy and peace their pathway strew with choice flowers. The school entertainment at the school house hall on Friday evening was quite a success. All report a pleasant time. The literary programme occupied the first part of the evening. Afterwards ice cream and cake were served to the audience, who seemed to appreciate the kindness of providing a feast both mentally, socially and it might be said physically. Mr. I. N. McBeth of Los Angeles spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Pyle. Me will spend a few days calling on his friends and neighbors. A number of our farmers report a good deal of sickness amongst their hogs. Some report it to be hog cholera, while others claim it to be some entirely different trouble. Whatever it is, it is alarmingly fatal. A number of families are making arrangements to go on a camping excursion. A few weeks' jaunt to the beach or mountains is a commendable way of breaking through the rut of daily routine, which sometimes seems like a treadmill drudgery. Mrs. E. E. Wood and two children of Cucamonga are visiting her mother, Mrs. Musselmaid. Mrs. Wood is a sister of our popular postmistress. A number of friends of J. A. Kirkpatrick happened to call at his residence to call his attention to the fact that old Father Time turned over a leaf beginning a new year, another birthday mile-stone added to his life's pathway. Among those present we noticed Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Pankoy, Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Watters, Mr. and Mrs. S. Watters, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Archer, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Pyle, Mr. Carner, Miss Amy Birch, Dr. Clay, S. J. Murdock and others.

On dit that several weddings are to occur in the near future. Carpenter McWilliams is constructing a zinc-lined refrigerator for Fritz Rubmann that will be a joy forever during the summer season. There was no quorum at the meeting of the Directors of the water company last Saturday and the board adjourned to its next regular meeting. The free reading room and library will be located in the building adjoining Luedke's jewelry store, and will be ready for the public about the first of the month. The high school at Fullerton was organized on Tuesday by Superintendent J. P. Greeley. The school is located at the Fullerton schoolhouse, and is named the Fullerton High School. P. A. Schumacher is building a very neat dwelling at his nursery in Fullerton, and he promises that a house-warming will be enjoyed by his many friends on its completion. An election has been called for Captain of Company G, to be held the evening of the first Thursday in July, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Capt. Browning. Andrew Gillison has a number of blank contracts for beet growers which those desiring to sell their beets to the company should procure from him and have filled out. Application may be made to him at his residence. The case of the People vs. Mrs. Lizzie Neel, charged with adultery, came up for hearing before Judge Landell on Friday and in the absence of evidence to convict, the defendant, on motion of the District Attorney, was discharged from custody. Judge Towner has made an order, in the matter of H. C. Gade, insolvent, fixing July 6th, at 9:30 A.M., for hearing the petition to set apart the homestead and certain personal property in this city. An ice cream social for the benefit of the Presbyterian Church was given at Dr. Hunt's residence Tuesday evening. We are indebted to the ladies for a very generous quantity of ice cream and cake. Many thanks! Children's day exercises were held in the Presbyterian Church Sunday morning. The church was decorated with flowers and suit. The furniture was sold at Sheriff's sale to satisfy a judgment issued out of the Superior Court. The Sheriff and his bondmen are interested in the action only indirectly, as he is amply protected by a bond given by the plaintiff in the action under which the furniture was sold on execution. The Hotel del Campo property was sold at Sheriff's sale last Saturday to satisfy a first mortgage lien amounting to $16,000, held by the Security Savings Bank people of Los Angeles. The property was bought in by the holders of the mortgage, the price being $9,000. The bank is now sole owner of the property. Originally the hotel cost in the neighborhood of $50,000. The Santa Ana Blade issued last week a very creditable illustrated Columbian edition of sixteen pages, containing articles descriptive of Orange county. The number is one of the handsomest ever issued in Southern California, filled as it is with interesting data of this section, carefully prepared and admirably printed on heavy book paper. It is notable achievement for our contemporary, and we hope its coffees will be filled with dollars innumerable as a reward for its enterprise. Ed Morgan tells us it was a whip snake, and not a red racer, which he engaged in mortal combat in the Santiago some weeks ago. But we know a better one than on Ed, that happened down on the desert at New river, but which we have all along refrained from saying anything about. One day the mules got away and Ed and Walker went to hunt for them. They trudged along over the desert for a night and a day, with no signs of the mules, when suddenly they came upon a sulphur spring, with bubbles coming up in the usual fashion through the mud. "There they are," says Ed, thinking the bubbles were caused by the last expiring gaspa of the mules, "but I don't think we can get at them to dig them out." Then they trudged along, and finally came upon the camp of a newly married section boss, and the new made bride prepared supper for them. We won't say anything further about it, but the boys blush like sixty whenever they hear of it. After supper they went out and found the mules, which were not in the sulphur spring, and went back to camp. A French cattle herder from the Almitos named Gas Sentous came to town Sunday afternoon in a two-wheeled cart, and while in the middle of a well-developed jag, in attempting to make a sharp turn at the old Planters' Hotel corner went spinning out of his vehicle, striking his head upon the sidewalk and rendering himself messy. C. C. File and L. H. Padgham of Santa Ana were in town on a short visit yesterday. Miss Bertha Ducummon of Los Angeles is visiting in town, the guest of Mrs. Hartung and Miss Chevalier. Mrs. Landell entertained her friends at an ice cream party at Chateau Landell on Tuesday afternoon. Miss Mary Kraemer entertained a number of her friends at a delightful social party at her home last Friday evening. Isaac Lyon has been in San Francisco during the week on a business trip, and is expected back in a day or two. Dr. Hunt and family started Thursday morning for a camping trip into San Diego county, and expect to be absent a couple of weeks. Joseph Dowe of Sacramento, accompanied by his wife and sister, visited in town during the week, and were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad. Frank Sharrott of San Francisco, a nephew of Mrs. C. A. Bailey of the Olinda ranch, is visiting his relatives here and will remain during vacation. George Cadman arrived in town from Pomona on Tuesday to attend the funeral of his father. He returns home early part of next week. Mrs. Everhart entertained a select number of her friends at tea at the Commercial Hotel last Friday afternoon. She was assisted by Miss Frances Rowe. W. L. Hale was in town on Monday. He reports the oranges at the ranch all shipped, and ploughing and cultivating the order of the day. He is also putting in a couple of fills in the baranca. Neil Bailey, who for some time past has been occupying the responsible position of telegraph operator for the Southern Pacific at Lordsburg, New Mexico, is home on a visit to his parents. Mr. P. Weisel is back from a trip to Milwaukee, where he has been for some weeks past. He finds the weather cold and disagreeable in the East and is glad to get back home. Messrs. Ryan and Cargill were in from Brookhurst Tuesday evening. They ship a carload of Mediterranean Sweets East today, and have yet about ten carloads of oranges at the grove. Judge Towner has made an order, in the matter of H. C. Gade, insolvent, fixing July 6th, at 9:30 A.M., for hearing the petition to set apart the homestead and certain personal property in this city. An ice cream social for the benefit of the Presbyterian Church was given at Dr. Hunt's residence Tuesday evening. We are indebted to the ladies for a very generous quantity of ice cream and cake. Many thanks! Children's day exercises were held in the Presbyterian Church Sunday morning. The church is decorated with flowers and evergreens, and the exercises, consisting of recitations, songs, etc., were quite interesting. In the divorce case of Brenot vs. Brenot, an order has issued from the Superior Court citing the defendant to appear on June 23d, at 9:30 A.M., to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt for refusing to pay alimony, as ordered by the Court. The closing exercises of St. Catherine's Academy occur next Thursday afternoon, when the usual excellent programme of exercises will be rendered by the scholars. After the programme will come the presentation of certificates and testimonials. We are indebted to Capt. S. O. Wood for late copies of Chicago papers. The Cap came up from Central America some time ago to procure engineering supplies in New York, and must have taken a run over to see the fair. The graduating exercises of the Woodbury Business College in Los Angeles will be held at the Grand Opera-house in that city Monday evening. Among the graduates is Joseph M. Backs, son of Jos. Backs of this city. A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Rust, Mrs. Lieutenant Governor Redick, Mrs. Koll, Mrs. Adole Browning and Miss Marie Horstmann left on Saturday for Coronado, where they remained until Monday, returning home on that day. They report having had a very pleasant time. A live rattlesnake is on exhibition at Steru & Goodman's store in Fullerton, which was taken captive one day last week by Mr. Goodman while on the road near Buena Park. The reptile has five rattles, and attracts quite a lot of attention. We are sorry to hear that John Schauman has been seriously unwell with lung trouble of late. He has been compelled to discontinue work, and is taking a course of treatment with a Chinese physician in Los Angeles. A grand industrial camp meeting will be held at Long Beach commencing on the 29th instant and continuing up to including the Glorious Fourth. We are instructed to extend a cordial invitation to all those interested to attend. Apricota have appeared in the market, and the crop is ripening rapidly. The yield is light this season, but the fruit is of very fine quality. Twenty-two dollars per ton is being offered, but the price will likely go above that before the season is over. Gus Schade has bought out the interest of George Hoffner in the second-hand store A French cattle herder from the Alamitos named Gus Sentoux came to town Sunday afternoon in a two-wheeled cart, and while in the middle of a well-developed jag, in attempting to make a sharp turn at the old Planters' Hotel corner went spinning out of his vehicle, striking his head upon the sidewalk and rendering himself unconscious. The horse ran down Center street, collided with a swinging door at Lowis' stable and demolished it and was caught. The Frenchman was carried onto the sidewalk at Federman's corner and placed in the shade. After some little time he regained consciousness and arose and announced his ability to lick anybody in the crowd. Nobody appearing to engage him, he filled the air with a collection of cuss words, when Marshal Steadman came up and ran him in. Later in the evening he repented, and putting up $6 bail for his appearance in the morning was released from jail and went on his way rejoicing. He is the man who saved two women from drowning at the Landing some weeks ago at the time of the capsizing of a boat filled with Norwalk people. His conduct at the time was notably heroic, but sometimes he gets in the habit of looking upon the wine when it is red, and it gives him into trouble. Beet hauling will begin in about three weeks, and there will be busy times in the beet fields for upwards of two months. The beets are maturing nicely and promise to fulfill every prediction made of them at the beginning of the season. Many fields will go over twenty tons to the acre, and this sunshine weather gives every promise that they will be of high saccharine quality. There will be in the neighborhood of sixty thousand tons of beets to ship to the refinery at Chino, and the output may go over that materially. Beginning with the middle of next month times will consequently be somewhat lively in this section. A trainload of beets per day will necessitate a lot of hauling to the depot. Roads will be cut up, and culverts should be put in the best of condition, to prevent breaking. Loads of beets will go to four tons, and there will be dozens of teams making two and three trips a day. The water company's culverts, being of pipe, are in good condition, but those on the county roads below town need attention. We hear there are a half dozen or so that are destined to break in with the first day's teaming. They should be strengthened at once, so that no delay may be brought about in getting the beets to the depot. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company has issued its new schedule of freight rates between San Francisco and coast points south. The new tariff cuts down the old rates 25 to 60 per cent. It names rates between Los Angeles and San Francisco, San Diego and intermediate points, in connection with Southern Pacific Company (Pacific system), the Redondo Railway Company, the Southern California Railway and the Los Angeles Terminal Railway. It took effect on shipments from San Francisco per the steamer Corona, sailing for San Diego and way ports last week and from San Diego June 19th. It also takes effect on the steamer Eureka, Mr P. Weisel is back from a trip to Milwaukee, where he has been for some weeks past. He finds the weather cold and disagreeable in the East and is glad to get back home. Messrs Ryan and Cargill were in from Brookhurst Tuesday evening. They ship a carload of Mediterranean Sweets East today, and have yet about ten carloads of oranges at the grove. E P Fowler came up from San Diego on Tuesday to attend the meeting of the Directors of the sugar beet company. He went down to San Diego yesterday afternoon, but expects to be back this morning. Dr W. A. Smith and M.E. Robins of Los Angeles were in town on Monday and made a pleasant call at this office. Dr Smith is the well-known dentist of the Angelic City, and contemplates opening an office in this city and being here two days a week. Misses Clemmie Schmidt and Mamie Langenberger left on Tuesday for a visit to the World's Fair. They will go on as far as New York and Brooklyn to visit with relatives and friends. Mr Sydmer Ross of Ontario, Canada, who for a long time past has been a regular sub-scriber to the Gazette, writes under date of June 16th, that hereafter the address of his paper is to be changed to Fullerton, California. Mr Ross comes to reside in the glorious climate of California. Ed Atherton has our thanks for late copies of the Cape Town South Africa. The papers are models of typographical neatness, and go to show a very high order of intelligence among the people of the colony. Mr Atherton was formerly a resident of Cape Town, where he was interested in ostrich farming until he decided to come here and take up his home amongst us. Madame Modjeska and Count Bozenta have taken their departure for their home in the Sautiago, after a brief visit here with Mr. and Mrs. Langenberger. The report that has been current to the effect that the distinguished actress had consented to appear at a public entertainment here in the near future is a mistake. Much as the people would like to see Modjeska in any of her famous roles, she has not thought of doing so, and we must forego the pleasure of seeing her acting for the present. Deputy Sheriff Buckley was in town on Monday serving attachments on bands of sheep, one amounting to $3,500 on Bonnett's band of 1,500 at Yorba, over which Jack Landell was put in as keeper, and the other for about $1,000 on a band of 1,500 belonging to a Frenchman down on the Alamitos. O.V. Knowlton was appointed keeper of the latter band. The keepers are likely to have jobs lasting all summer, at $3 per day. Lester Osborne, the well-known roundabout-town man of Los Angeles Evening Express, was married in that city May 24th last to Miss Ada L. Pierpont, one of the most charming daughters of the southern metropolis. The happy young couple passed through Anaheim on their wedding trip to A grand industrial camp meeting will be held at Long Beach commencing on the 29th instant and continuing up to and including the Glorious Fourth. We are instructed to extend a cordial invitation to all those interested to attend. Apricota have appeared in the market, and the crop is ripening rapidly. The yield is light this season, but the fruit is of very fine quality. Twenty-two dollars per ton is being offered, but the price will likely go above that before the season is over. Gus Schade has bought out the interest of George Heffner in the second-hand store on Center street, and will in future conduct the business in his own name. Gus sells new and second-hand goods, rubber stamps, linen markers, etc., and deals in everything usually found in an establishment of his kind. He is a rustler, and guarantees satisfaction, or no trade—does Gus Schade. The Board of Directors of the sugar refinery corporation met in executive session on Tuesday, when they transacted routine business and discussed a voluminous lot of correspondence. The bonds of the corporation have been placed, we hear, conditionally upon no adverse legislation being enacted by Congress. The policy of the Government will be known on the assembling of Congress, when it is expected the sugar bounty may be repealed, but a compensating tariff put upon imported sugar. Chas. S. Marshall, representing H. S. Crocker & Co., the well-known San Francisco publisher, arrived in town on Tuesday and remained until yesterday, when he went south on his first trip to this section for several years. Mr. Marshall takes the place of the late lamented C. C. Haley, who had been making trips to Anaheim for near a score of years, and whose untimely death at Bakersfield last April was referred to in these columns at the time. Mr. Marshall is an energetic young business man, and is a fitting representative of a well known and long-established house. E. R. Amerige and G. H. Amerige have brought suit against Shoriff Lacy and others to recover $2,711 50 damages, on account of the forced sale of the furniture in the St. George Hotel at Fullerton some time ago. The defendants are Sheriff Lacy, J. M. Lacy, Henry Neill, James Buckley, P. T. Adams, W. H. Tedford, A. T. Bates, W. B. Wall, J. A. Buckingham and R. M. Hargrave. The plaintiffs allege that the property was sold without right, and therefore ask judgment in the amount named and for costs of The Pacific Coast Steamship Company has issued its new schedule of freight rates between San Francisco and coast points south. The new tariff cuts down the old rates 25 to 60 per cent. It names rates between Los Angeles and San Francisco, San Diego and intermediate points, in connection with the Southern Pacific Company (Pacific system), the Redondo Railway Company, the Southern California Railway and the Los Angeles Terminal Railway. It took effect on shipments from San Francisco per the steamer Corona, sailing for San Diego and way ports last week and from San Diego June 19th. It also takes effect on the steamer Eureka, sailing from Newport and way points June 21st, and all steamers subsequently sailing. The Western Freight Association's classification is to govern so far as the terms and conditions can be applied to freight carried by water, and when not in conflict with the new tariff. The Southern Pacific has also issued a new freight tariff between San Francisco and intermediate points, including the towns of San Pedro, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Port Los Angeles, Tustin, Arcadia, Monrovia, Colton, San Bernardino, Riverside, Arlington and Redlands. The following endorsement of the evc. Mr. Hill, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, who has tendered his resignation andemplates taking his departure from our midst, was prepared by the Trustees and Session of the church and was endorsed last Sunday by the congregation: "We,the Trustees and Session of the Anahiem Press,bysterior Church, in consideration of the announcement by our pastor, Roy Hiram Hill,of his intended resignation in the near future from his work in this place; do most earnestly desire to make known the hearty appreciation in which we hold the efforts of Mr.Hill—and those of his most excellent wife—during the three years they have been laboring among us. As to their being zealous,f faithful and conscientious workers in all of our church services,Sabbath School Christian Endeavor and pastoral work,we cheerfully bear testimony; and as one of the highest tributes to the daily efforts and prayers of our pastor do we place the great growth of our church during his pastorate. We are sorry to see him leave us,and esteem him worthy of your highest recommendation in any field of labor for Christ that he may be called to fill;and wherever that field may be there shall always go with him our prayers—and those of the church he has done so much to strengthen—that God's richest blessing may rest upon his every effort." At Lyons' store—The finest assortment o Hardware,Tinware and Stoves, Lester Osborne, the well-known roundabout-town man of the Los Angeles Evening Express, was married in that city May 24th last to Miss Ada L.Pierpont, one of the most charming daughters of the southern metropolis.The happy young couple passed through Anaheim on their wedding trip to Coronado, where several weeks were spent in the bliss of their honeymoon.Lester is one of the shining lights of Los Angeles journalism and his gossipy news in the Express is one of the notable features of that excellent newspaper.We join the many friends of the happy couple in wishing them a long life of peace and prosperity.

Pellegrin returned Thursday evening from Mexico, where he spent five weeks with his brother at their mines in Sonora.He brought back with him a bar of gold and silver, weighing several pounds, strapped to his belt around him.He informs us it got to weighing about a hundred pounds at times,但 it would hardly do carry it on display among the Mexicans below the line.He also brings back with him a copy of the Mexican customs laws.I may be interesting to know that Alf,Pellegrin has taken into himself a wife,and is rapidly piling up a fortune at his mines.In another column Mr.Pellegrin gives us a brief account of his trip. F.W. Deethman and his two boys arrived in town from Chicago last Saturday and will remain during the summer.Mr. Deethman was formerly for many years a well known and highly-respected resident of this city,但 for the past five years has resided in Chicago.He will probably send East for his family as soon as he gets his place fixed up on his ranch west of town,and will take up his residence here permanently.He informs us the Fair is one of the wonders of the world,and that California's display is equal to the best of them.The electrical display he pronounces especially striking,and once seen is never to be forgotten.Mr. Deethman and his family will make very desirable acquisitions to our society,and we tender them a welcome on their return into our midst.

Orange Post. Anaheim has been fussing about not being represented on the County Board of Education until she has succeeded in getting our share as well as her own in that representation. She declaims the Superintendent as her representative on the plea that she lives in Santa Ana and represents the whole county; yet he was elected from that district as her share in the county offices and he represents the whole county on the board no more than any other member represents it. For that section to get all it can is not so strange as for the County Superintendent to accept his repudiation so willingly from his section of the county. Elect the next Superintendent from Orange and you will not hear us ask for another representative on the board during his incumbency. Neither would we repudiate him because the law compelled him to reside at the county seat during his term of office or for convenience he might choose to do so. We are perfectly willing to have the same rule applied to us that we apply to others. Lost—Between Anaheim and Long Beach last Sunday, a white cashmere shawl with brown stripes.
