LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK City Fathers Meet Twice a Month Hereafter. An Ordinance Introduced to that Effect at Tuesday Evening's Meeting—Sugar House Specifications—What the Four Hundred are Doing at the Landing—Mr. Kellogg's Article on the World's Fair on the First Page—Correspondence—Personal Notes. The Board of Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Witte, Conrad and Pellegrin. The Marshal reported that the ditches on Philadelphia street, which were opened contrary to the city ordinance, would be closed by the party who constructed them as soon as he got through using them for irrigation purposes; but the board ordered the ditches closed immediately or a suitable culvert must be put in. The Clerk was authorized to draw a warrant on the treasury to pay the interest on the city bonds, which will be due Aug. 1st. The Finance Committee reported that the several ordinances presented to the board at the last meeting had been submitted to Attorney Chlynoweth for inspection. The expense for his services would be $50 per ordinance, and furthermore he would guarantee them to stand any legal test. Ordinance No. 82, fixing the time and place of meeting of the board was introduced. It changes the time of meeting to the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, instead of every Tuesday evening. A petition was received from property owners in West Anaheim asking that the west end of Center street be sprinkled. The Southern Pacific Company has generously offered to furnish 1,500 gallons of water per day for that purpose. This will not interfere with the sprinkling contract, as Mr. Boege can haul a load of water each way while going and coming from his residence three times a day, and sprinkle the street on one side, instead of hauling the empty wagon as now over the same route. The petition was granted. Adjourned. OLD OCEAN'S ROAR.

I like to keep posted on Anaheim and vicinity. I receive a good many inquiries about Southern California. Next winter you will see a good many people from the East. The World's Fair is a good advertisement for California. Your display of fine fruit is great. Hope your Bank opens up soon and the sugar factory is a go.

While fishing in the Trabucau canyon last week Mat Walker came across a large mountain lion, which approached within forty feet of him. The trout had been biting plentifully, but having nothing to fight the lion with, Mat quietly dropped the fishing rod, and getting out of sight behind a large bowlder, made for the camp to get his rifle. When he returned, however, the lion had gone. Mat followed the tracks for some distance into the canyon, where he lost the trail. The lion was a big feilow and his hide would have made quite an interesting trophy. Mat will look for him again next trip down. In a very pleasant editorial reference to the fact that contracts have been let for the erection of our sugar refinery buildings, the Los Angeles Times says: "There is room in California for fifty factories like that which is to be erected at Anaheim. The consumption of sugar in the United States would keep 700 such factories busy. Not one-fifth of the consumption of the Pacific Coast alone is turned out by the three California factories. The future of the sugar beet industry in California depends largely..." PERSONAL MELANGE Harry Butler is down from Los Angeles on a visit to relatives at Chateau Landell.

Hart, about 10 o'clock on Monday morning. He arrived here on Sunday afternoon to confer with Prof. Grogan about business matters, and was the guest of Mr. Hart, with whom he had been acquainted for some time. He retired at 11 o'clock Sunday evening and arrose at 8 o'clock on Monday morning, and thought of taking the 9 o'clock train into Los Angeles. He remained, however, with the intention of taking the noon train, some further business matters coming up to engage his attention. At about 10 o'clock he complained of a feeling of dizziness, and lied down upon a lounge to rest. A few minutes after Mrs. Hart heard him fall to the floor, and going to the room found him lying upon the floor, with his head still resting upon the lounge. He gasped twice and expired. Thinking he had fainted she applied restoratives and sent for a physician. Dr Hardin arrived in about 10 minutes and found him pulseless. A Coroner's jury was empanaled, and found that deceased came to his death by heart disease, in accordance with the foregoing facts.

Work will be commenced soon. The property is owned by Mr. Bullard of this city. Read the large advertisement of Reinhaus Bros., the enterprising Santa Ana dry goods merchants. Their store is a hive of industry, and their immense stock is going to customers regardless of cost. When trading at Santa Ana be sure to call in and see them, as they mean business, and carry out the terms of the advertisement to the letter. They are good people to do business with, and are doing the bulk of the dry goods business at the county seat. Consequently they are in a position to offer the public better bargains than any house in Santa Ana. Mrs. Mortie M. McClintock, wife of William McClintock, died at her home, one mile north of Alamitos school-house, last Saturday evening, aged 21 years and 7 days. She had been ill of consumption for some time past, when death came to relieve her of her pains. She leaves a sorrowing husband and two children. The remains were interred in the Anaheim cemetery, and were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. The bereaved family have the sympathy of all who know them in their great affection. Quite a shower of rain fell in the beet fields west of town last Thursday night, in some places as much as a quarter of an inch. The precipitation was of material help to the late-sown crops. At Chino the showers were of such volume as to retard the beginning of the harvest for several days. Harvesting was to have begun last Monday, but the rain has set back the work until the latter part of the week. The refinery starts up next Monday.

The libel case of Rev. Father Stoetter vs. J. E. Nugent of the Journal was postponed in Judge Landell's court Monday The Journal last week contained a very laughable account of an "attempted hold-up" at the railroad crossing on Sycamore street. According to its informant a couple in a buggy had been stopped by a supposed highwayman, but they somehow managed to make their escape, and came to town in search of an officer, who repaired to the scene and found—nosegion of the highwayman! "Up to 3 o'clock this morning"(?) the veracious report continues, "no trace of the highwayman could be found." Of course not. Now, it so happened that Zanjero Littlefield, late last Friday evening, had been notified that a big head of water was coming down the Sycamore ditch, and he proceeded to make preparations to receive it. The water company last week had ordered all water into the North Anaheim ditch for six days, but the Lord was on our side, and sent down the rains in copious volume, filling the river and the lower ditches. So it was that the Zanjero had not notified to be on the lookout for the water. He was engaged in cleaning the culvert on Sycamore street, near the railroad crossing, when the couple in the buggy drove by. A lot of brush was swept under the culvert, and as he was anxious to get it out of the ditch as it emerged on the other side, he ran across to head it off, his hoe meanwhile reposing on his shoulder. The couple rode by, the horse became frightened and started to run away, and that is all there was to it. Up to 3 o'clock this morning there had been no further developments. Los Angeles Express. A Los Angeles man suddenly and unexpectedly expired at Anaheim Monday. There's something in the Anaheim ozone fatal to Angelenos. From the Yuma Sentinel of last week we take the following: "John Rimpau has returned from Anaheim, Cal., where he has been on a visit. He says that his sister has felt much better since she reached Anaheim, where she gets the sea breeze softened by passing over the valley for a few miles. His mother and family expect to return here in October, and occupy their new cottage." John says the thermometer gets up to 109 at night, and during the day it is absolutely out of sight. But the weather has not become unbearable yet, and he will remain a fixture at Yuma for some time to come. Last Sunday the Rev. J. Caballeria said mass for the first time in the Catholic Church of this city. The reverend gentleman has been, for the past five years, assistant pastor of Santa Barbara, and is now pastor of Anaheim. The Independent of the 19th instates: "Bishop Mora has appointed Father John Caballeria of this city pastor of the parish of Anaheim, and he left this morning to take charge of the parish. He was a Father who performed his duties faithfully during the four years he was here, and by his excellent character won the estimation of the people. Father Ferrer of Los Angeles has been appointed to fill Father John's position here." The Rev. Father John Caballeria was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1867, and graduated from the far-famed university of that place in 1888. Completing histheological studies under the ablest masters, he traveled to the far West, was ordained priest in 1889 by Rt. Rev. Francis Mora, Bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles, and entered upon the duties of his vocation in the cathedral of diecise. He was subsequently sent to Santa Barbara, where he affable and obliging ways endeared him to all who had the honor of his acquaintance, while his practical knowledge and enterprise bade fair to reap a rich harvest of good for the church.

With the shipment of a large number of carloads of potatoes, our little town has presented quite a lively appearance the past week. The all-absorbing topic, however, is the fine condition of the sugar beet crop, and the preparation for their harvest and delivery at the station. J. H. Miner, Superintendent, and the Road Master of the Southern Pacific Railroad, have promised to give ample facilities for transportation. We expect to ship a trainload of fifteen cars per week until our crop is harvested. D. J. Young, George W. Caldwell, Henry Whitaker and Carl Eytel have just returned from a week's outing, in which they fully explored the heights and depths of the Sierra Madre range of mountains, taking in the beauties of Rubio canyon, and from their wise and satisfied appearance, we should not be surprised if they had discovered the Pegleg mine. F. J. Spiedel and John Slaven, with their families, have gone to Long Beach to enjoy the Chataquan session and get the benefit of the sea bathing. Our enterprising contractor, Dory Hickox, has fitted up a steam threshing outfit, and barley is now going into sacks at the rate of fifteen hundred bags daily. Miss Mary Bevins of Oak Park, Ill., has been visiting Mrs. A. W. Whitaker, and thinks Buena Park, with its pure artesian water, is just the place for a fancy poultry farm, in which she may embark in the near future. The L. M. A. S. is preparing for a grand musical and ice cream festival, to take place on Tuesday evening, August 1st, and as every social is an improvement on the last, the coming one will doubtless be perfection. Under the skillful care of our young physician, Dr. Thompson, Mr. Clifford and Mr. Ward, who have been seriously ill for some time, are now convalescing. Death.
