LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK City Trustees Meet in Regular Session. Regular Monthly Reports Received—City Taxes Coming in Slowly—The Water Meeting—Last of the Heets—Death of Miss Helen Hancoft—Stearns Hancos Company After Col. Northam—Other News—A New Bank—Personal Mention. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Witte, Rust, Pellegrin and Schindler. The Marshal reported the collection of $345 75 for water and licenses for this month. Several persons were reported delinquent. Also the collection of $296 50 for city taxes. Ex-Treasurer James submitted his final report, showing a balance in the city treasury at the expiration of his term on Oct. 2 of $14 77. The Treasurer's monthly report was received, showing a balance in the city treasury on Oct. 9 of $562 59. The Clerk's monthly financial report was received and filed. The Recorder reported the collection of $6 for violation of Section 2 of Ordinance 12, which relates principally to persons who are arrested for being under the influence of alcoholic stimulants. The Marshal was instructed to collect the full hotel license from Mrs. Mitchell, the board being of the opinion that she is now conducting a hotel and is consequently liable for the regular license of $2 50 for hotel purposes. The Ordinance Committee was granted further time to prepare an ordinance compiling property owners to keep the streets in front of their premises in a neat and clean condition. Trustee Rust argued in favor of sending a man around to keep bridge approaches in repair. So ordered. It was ordered that the water company be asked to repair the approaches to the bridge at the corner of East and North streets, also one on Broadway, near the Santa Fe depot, the water having overrun them and caused the damage. In this connection Clerk Nebolung offered the city a large load of pampas plums refuse to be used for "strawing" the approaches, for which he says, it is "just the stuff." Accepted and the thanks of the board were tendered him for his generosity. Charlie Wommer, in behalf of the Ana- Werder, asking that $15 be paid him for damages sustained by his property by reason of the breaking of the water ditch running through his place. The Zanjero said that he had been delivering water to Mrs. Simpson, who had just left the room after paying her assessment, and that on account of her not giving the water an unobstructed flow in her ditch, the stream backed up and overran Mr. Werder. It was a question whether the company or Mrs. Simpson was liable for the $15. Mr. Zeyn said that if the company wore put to the expense of paying all these little bills for damages that are liable to occur, they would have to pay out a couple of thousand dollars every year, and as times are hard the company had been reduced to near the ragged edge as it was. Nevertheless Directors Zeyn and Kellogg were appointed a committee to go and survey the extent of the damages, and report at the next meeting, and the Secretary was instructed to notify Mrs. Simpson not to let the backing of the water occur again. A communication was read from Chapman & Hendrick referring to a possible suit to determine the water rights on the Bixby ranch. Mrs. Bixby claims water by virtue of having bought land from the Yorba ranch, and as the Yorbas are now being delivered all the water the law allows them, the opinion was expressed that Mr. Chapman was running a cool bluff, which it was said the eminent legal gentleman was not so adverse to doing, or had done in the past, and the matter was laid over to the next meeting. The opinion of Attorney Melrose on the liability of the company in the matter of an unpaid check for $17 50, and held by Isaac Lyons at the time of the bank suspension, was read, to the effect that inasmuch as the same had not been presented for payment within a "reasonable time" after its issue, as provided by the statutes, the company were not liable for its payment. The statutes hold that a reasonable time elapses, in cases where checks are drawn and paid in the same city, on the day following that on which payment might first have been made. The check was drawn Sept. 7th and presented at the bank on the 11th, two days after the suspension. Also the opinion in reference to the company's liability for money paid to Superintendent Groat, to be by him disbursed in payment for work done on the ditches, and amounting to $92 50. The money had been deposited in bank to the credit of the Superintendent, having been paid over to him by the company, and the attorney held that he was liable for the loss. The company might or might not be held liable for the wages due unpaid employees, but they would have recourse upon the Superintendent for the same. Both opinions were filed. It appeared that there was in bank in the Secretary's name the amount of $606 36, against which warrants in payment of claims against the company had been drawn, but which had not been presented for payment at the time of the squeeze. Miss Sadie Crowtner had a warrant calling for $50 against this amount, Victor Brownone for $80, and Silas Holman another for $30. These amounts were now being called for and were quite inaccessible. Mr. Tufree took the ground that the Secretary had to stand the loss, inasmuch as he had received no instructions from the present Board of Directors to deposit money in bank on his account. Mr. Garwood protested that had damaged sustained by his property by reason of the breaking of the water ditch running through his place. The Zanjero said that he had been delivering water to Mrs. Simpson, who had just left the room after paying her assessment, and that on account of her not giving the water an unobstructed flow in her ditch, the stream backed up and overran Mr. Werder. It was a question whether the company or Mrs. Simpson was liable for the $15. Mr. Zeyn said that if it happened during water runoff all these little bills for damages that are liable to occur, they would have to pay out a couple of thousand dollars every year, and as times are hard the company had been reduced to near the ragged edge as it was. Nevertheless Directors Zeyn and Kellogg were appointed a committee to go and survey the extent of the damages, and report at the next meeting, and the Secretary was instructed to notify Mrs. Simpson not to let the backing of the water occur again.

Trustee Rust argued in favor of sending a man around to keep bridge approaches in repair. So ordered. It was ordered that the water company be asked to repair the approaches to the bridge at the corner of East and North streets, also one on Broadway, near the Santa Fe depot, the water having overrun them and caused the damage. In this connection Clerk Nebolung offered the city a large load of pampas plume refuse to be used for "strawing" the approaches, for which he says, it is "just the stuff." Accepted and the thanks of the board were tendered him for his generosity. Charlie Wommer, in behalf of the Anaheim Cornet Band, asked for the privilege of using City Hall once a week for band practice. Granted, provided the band be responsible for all damages to furniture that might occur during their occupancy of the building. Bills to the amount of $579 89 were audited and ordered paid. John Smythe swore out an attachment through Judge Laudell's court against J. E. Nugent to stop payment on all monies that may be due him, he owing Smythe $240 for wages. Phil Davis also put in an order for $9, given him by Nugent, who negotiated the loan several days ago. Nugent then presented a communication, asking the board to return to him all his demands against the city, which have not yet been allowed, for correction. The question arose as to whom the money was to be paid, and so the matter was referred to the City Attorney for settlement. He will report on the matter at the next regular meeting of the board. At the adjourned meeting of the board held on Saturday of last week, the suggestion was made that during the foggy and damp mornings the street sprinkler be taken off and the team used to distribute gravel on the streets. The matter was left to the Chairman of the Committee on Public Improvements. Adjourned. THE WATER COMPANY DIRECTOR TUFFREE ON DEACON GARWOOD'S LIABILITY FOR MONEY IN BANK—MIR CHAPMAN'S BLUFF —CAPT. STANTON'S KICK—RESERVOIR TO BE CLEANED—CORNER EY'S NOTE—TEN PER CENT. The Board of Directors of the water company met in regular session Saturday afternoon; present, Directors Zeyn (in the chair), Tuffree, Ruat and Kellogg; absent, McFadden, Botoford and Amerige. Superintendent Great reported that he had interviewed Mr. Yorba about renting the Rivas tract, and that he had offered only $75 for the same. The board thought that the rent should be not less than $100, and the matter, together with the renting of the Cota tract, was left to Director Tuffree. Secretary Garwood reported a balance on hand amounting to $268 57. Treasurer Cahem reported that he had received from ex-Treasurer James $2,024 47; from the Secretary, on account of the assessment, $1,719 71; total, $3,744 18; paid warrants, $1,065 28; balance, $2,678 99. Since the report over $2,000 had been paid in on the assessment. Superintendent Groat reported that he had held a session with one Sing Lee in reference to his tampering with the water ditches. The Celestial had made three separate and distinct assaults upon the water gates while Mr. Ruat was irrigating, for which high crime the Superintendent taxed him with $100. It appeared that there was in bank in the Secretary's name the amount of $606 36, against which warrants in payment of claims against the company had been drawn, but which had not been presented for payment at the time of the squeeze. Miss Sadie Crowther had a warrant calling for $50 against this amount, Victor Browning one for $80, and Silas Holman another for $30. These amounts were now being called for and were quite inaccessible. Mr. Tuffree took the ground that the Secretary had to stand the loss, insinuasch as he had received no instructions from the present Board of Directors to deposit money in bank on his own account. Mr. Garwood protested that that had been uninterrupted course of procedure by the Secretary for years, and that his accounts had been gone over by the Directors and Board of Audit, that nothing had been done under cover, and that the same had been done at the suggestion of the board. Mr. Puffree said that the order might have come from another board, but it certainly was not done with any sanction on his part. He objected to the Secretary keeping funds of the company in his possession. Mr. Kellogg said that the rule under which the Secretary was working held good until it was repealed. The whole matter was finally referred to the company's attorney, and it was ordered that hereafter individual warrants be issued for each item. Coroner Ey wrote again that he wanted an immediate payment of the balance remaining due on his note. He is putting up a house at Santa Ana and stands in ominent need of the collateral. The board thought that inasmuch as he fared pretty well at the time of the bank collapse, by saving $1,500 like a brand from the burning, as it were, and as times were hard, he would have to wait a little while longer and be content to get his money by and by. Others wrote asking payment of their notes among them being Miss Emily Whymeyer for $1,500, John Goodale for $1,000, W. L. Hale for $1,500 and J. P. Zeyn for $400. About $5,000 was called for in all, and warrants were ordered drawn on the Treasurer in payment of as much of them as the company could stand. A warrant of $50 was drawn in payment of balance due the attorney, and various small warrants were drawn in payment of sums received for water and not delivered. A letter was received from C. D. Willard of Los Angeles asking the company to appoint a delegate to the Irrigation Congress, which is now in session in the Angelic City. Although Directors Rust, Kellogg and Zeyn expressed themselves as being in favor of sending a delegate, Mr. Tuffree took grounds against them, and the matter was dropped. A communication was received from Mrs. L. Browning and Mrs. Koll, asking that they be paid ten per cent interest on their notes, instead of eight. Mr. Zeyn remarked that he also must have ten per cent in future. He wanted $100 to pay his taxes with, but the company might retain it for a while yet at ten. The board voted to pay ten per cent granted Ben Kraemer water for cabbage, called the Superintendent's attention to several worn culverts and adjourned. THE BANK'S AFFAIRS A CARD FROM THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF THE BANK OF ANAHEIM. Some misunderstanding having arisen in regard to the values placed upon the bank's property by the Committee on Securities, they desire to make this explanation: In every instance, except one, we valued the securities at the minimum price, not desiring to present the situation to the depositors in recourse upon the Superintendent for the same. Both opinions were filed. It appeared that there was in bank in the Secretary's name the amount of $606 36, against which warrants in payment of claims against the company had been drawn, but which had not been presented for payment at the time of the squeeze. Miss Sadie Crowther had a warrant calling for $50 against this amount, Victor Browning one for $80, and Silas Holman another for $30.

A good interest is manifested in the meetings at the tent, with a prospect of continuing for some time. Improvements have been made for the comfort of the congregation. The tent is carpeted and seated with chairs; these walls are now connected with the carpet so as to shut out the breeze. Subjects of very great interest and importance, especially of present time, are being presented. But she discourses that have been delivered are only a keynote, or introduction to a series of subjects of practical and vital importance that are to follow. The leading thought presented in first discourse is one with which all the discourses to follow will have a close connection. It is this: "The Past, Present and Future;" a clean universe in past and a great controversy followed in future." "A past time of peace love and perfect happiness when wide universe was free from sorrow and from sin. A present time when there is a conflict going on between two of most powerful beings in this universe." On one side are enlisted all the good intelligences and influences in this universe; and on other side every evil influence and intelligence in existence. A future time when original plan of Creator will be carried out, and no evil will be in existence; but every intelligent being in this universe will be praising God," as described in rev. 5-13." The second discourse confirmed certainty andthe agency bywhich this plan will be carried out.Onthe third eveningthe speaker tookforhistextthemost beautiful sentencetobefoundinthe BibleorintheEnglishlanguageIJohn4-16.Thethemeofthesecoursewas"Thesecretofthemuseumofthegospel.LoveisthemotivainallofGod'sdealingswithallhiscreatures;ovenmostrebelious.OnMondayeveningthesubjectwas:" "The secretofthemysteryofiniquityanditsoriginexistenceandend."

Treasurer Cahem reported that he had received from ex-Treasurer James $2,024 47; from the Secretary, on account of the assessment, $1,719 71; total, $3,744 18; paid warrants, $1,065 28; balance, $2,678 99. Since the report over $2,000 had been paid in on the assessment. Superintendent Groat reported that he had held a session with one Sing Lee in reference to his tampering with the water ditches. The Celestial had made three separate and distinct assaults upon the water gates while Mr. Rust was irrigating, for which high crime the Superintendent taxed him the sum of $10. P. A. Stanton, the real estate rustler, sent in a communication protesting against the running of waste water down the sandwash southwest of the city, as the same overflowed his land and affected it injuriously. Water of late has been plentiful and as there is not much call for it the zanjero turns it loose nights in the sandwash down Stanton's way. The latter claims naturally enough that the water has a tendency to make the willows and quotamote shrubbery in the sandwash grow abnormally, and as he is not desirous of starting a forest preserves at present, he asked that the flow be discontinued or run some other way. Referred to Superintendent Groat and Director Rust to interview the sheepmen of the neighborhood and devise means to have them take the water for their sheep and come to Capt. Stanton's relief. The Tufte reservoir showing that it stood in amine need of cleaning and repair, as per report of the Superintendent, he was instructed to turn out the water until next meeting, and when dry to remove the tules and weeds and put it in serviceable condition before the winter rains come on. The Finance Committee reported $5,500 available cash and $2,600 bills to pay; also that $3,996 had been paid in on the assessment up to Friday night, the total amount of the same being $9,885, and considerable of it having been paid in since the report. The following bills were audited and ordered paid: E. T. Parker, livery Auditing Committee staff and clerk merchant office retreat's Assistant at 91 per day real printing great account roll G. Snythe, serving summons in Jurupa allotment museum & Halpin, hauling al. A bill from F. Backs, for fifty cents, for ing two saws, and dated Nov. 10, '92, was dered paid, and the Secretary instructed notify him not to let his bills attain to ch green old age in future. A communication was received from H. THE BANK'S AFFAIRS A CARD FROM THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF THE BANK OF ANAHEIM. Some misunderstanding having arisen in regard to the values placed upon the bank's property by the Committee on Securities, they desire to make this explanation: In every instance, except one, we valued the securities at the minimum price, not desiring to present the situation to the depositors in a more favorable light than in their judgment the outcome would warrant. It appears that some of the depositors feel aggrieved because President Bartlett has refused to sell some of the property at a low valuation as was placed upon it by the committee, but the committee desire to state explicitly that it was not their intention to fix valuations for Mr. Bartlett to sell by. The situation is similar to that of the estate of a deceased person, where the purpose of an appraisement is to give the court a general idea as to the approximate value of the estate, and not to fix a value at which the property must be sold. At the request of Mr. Bartlett the committee is now fixing the selling valuations on all the real estate and stocks owned by the bank, and any depositor has the privilege of purchasing any of the real estate or stocks at the price last fixed by the committee, in exchange for checks on the bank. In connection with the foregoing the committee further desire to say that as the result of a recent and thorough examination of the loans, stocks and securities owned by the bank, we are convinced that if the present policy of liquidation is pursued the bank will pay its depositors dollar for dollar. When the bank closed September 8th the amount due depositors was $110,000. As the result of the course that has been adopted and followed by Mr. Bartlett in the sale of real estate, the amount now due depositors is $76,000, thus showing a reduction of $34,000 in the brief time of one month. It must be remembered that all notes considered good by the committee are being held for collection in cash. President Bartlett states that as soon as he can accumulate sufficient money to pay 5 cents on the dollar upon amount due depositors, a dividend will be immediately declared and disbursed. W. T. Brown, WM. Crowther, W. J. Smith, L. W. Kirby, M. Nebelung, Advisory Committee, An Associated Press dispatch from San Francisco, dated Tuesday, the 10th instant, contains the following: A big scandal has been developed here in the affairs of the Stoarns Rancho corporation, which at one time owned 130,000 acres in California, and is still one of the largest land corporations on the Pacific coast. The Chronicle prints the story of an investigation of the conduct of the affairs of the company. The story is that a committee of three disinterested business men has been for three or four months investigating the conduct of the manager of the business of the company, Col. R. J. Northam, who is a member of the Governor's staff, and one of the best known public men in the State. The paper will state that the committee has about completed its work and will in a few days report to the stockholders. The committee consists of Barclay Henley, George B. Polhemus and E.W. McGraw. It is reported there will be a majority and a minority report. The majority by Henley and Polhemus will state that $100,000 of the income of the ranch has been illegally diverted. It is not charged that there has been any embezzlement, however. In his minority report McGraw will defend Colonel Northam in his action as custodian of the property of the company. The late Moses Hopkins was president of the company. It is claimed Hopkins gave Colonel Northam oral authorization to dispose of the property of the company, and that Northam has legal justification for all his acts and a valid claim against the ranch for all the moneys said to have been diverted from the treasury of the corporation. The interested parties are very much worried over the publicity of the trouble, and the true facts are hard to get. So far as learned no legal steps toward settlement of the difficulty have been taken. Burg wagons, Bradley plows, light Spring wagons, and farming implements at John Schauman's. ap11tf WOOD BEATEN.

The gun was discharged, much to young Cummings' conformation, as well as the other boy's both having thought it was unloaded, and the charge took effect in young Wright's hand and chest, but fortunately not fatally. The boys who are about ten years old have been taught a salutary lesson, and will probably not meddle with firearms hereafter. —Constable Landell arrested a paisano answering to the name of Adolfo Olivas at Santa Monica last Thursday on a charge of home theft. The Mexican was suspected of having stolen a horse and saddle from A.Cola who lives near Fullerton on the night of the 9th of August. He pawned the saddle to Henry Bremmermann who runs a livery stable in Los Angeles, and who came down to testify against him at the trial on Monday afternoon. It was found that the charge of horse theft could not be proven, as the fellow had probably turned the nug loss but the charge of larceny was precluded against him for pawning the saddle for which he was fined $15$, which he paid. Oliva was defended by A.A.Montano. —a harrowing story comes from Chicago about Aloalde Egan of the Independent State of Capistrano. Dick has been doing World's Fair, and on his first visit to the White City got aboard the Ferris wheel for a ride. Each ride consists of two revolutions, and the charge is fifty cents. The Alocalde took a seat and began perusing a paper, and she wheel went round and round. At the sixth revolution, so the Alocalde if he didn't think he had ridden enough for four bits. "You've been around six times," said he. "Six times! Holy smoke, and I haven't seen anything yet!" said the Alocalde. Then after paying his fare he strolled down toward the merry Midway. —Some little comment has arisen as to whether the laundryman Sing Lee arrested at Tustin last week for purposes of deportation and our former well-known heathen fellow-townsman, the mild-mannered high-binder of that name are the same. Man Wo is inclined to think not, for although the captured Celestial tallies to the description of the Tustin man, in that he is a "desperate character," yet when Sing Lee left Anaheim he abandoned the laundry business,and likewise changed his name to PERSONAL MELANGER Mr. Gosch has been seriously indispose for some weeks past but is now able to out again.

There will be a Bible reading by County Superintendent of Consecration Work and all members are requested to present with any lady friends they may wish to bring. While gathering walnuts at Mr. Reiser's last Saturday a Russian fell from the tree to the ground, sustaining serious injuries about the spine and dislocating his hip joint. He lies in a very precarious condition at his home on Santa Anse street. A letter from Percy Hampson, who is on the night shift at the Chino refinery, is to the effect that life over there comes pretty tough after living for a time in Anaheim. No doubt, but we expect to see him back to reside here permanently one of these days. A couple of young men, who are working with the fumigating outfit, had a lively "scrap" a few evenings ago, lasting about half an hour. It was for blood, and it is said one of the pugilists was knocked down several times during the fight. At last accounts peace had been declared between the two young men. Elder H. Elliott Ward, who is now engaged in an evangelistic effort at Alambra, will preach for the Christian Church in this city next Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. The services will be held in Music Hall. Morning subject, III John, 4; evening subject, "One thing lacking." The public are invited to attend. A writ of habeas corpus was taken out Wednesday in the case of C.S. Parcells, informed against perjury. Judge Towner last Thursday heard the application for his release, and he was inclined to hold that a stage of the proceedings had been reached when such an application was too late. He took the matter under advisement for one week. Jacob Duscher went to the old Fossek place on Sycamore street one day last week to get some walnuts, which were lying thick as leaves upon the ground. C. Grosman objected, and sought to eject Mr. Disher and kicked him, inflicting grievous mental and bodily suffering, for which Judge Landell pasted him in the penal sum of ten dollars of the circulating medium of the realm. The water company will not be represented at the Irrigation Congress at Los Angeles this week, all on account of the "hard times." This seems too bad, Inasmuch as it would seem that we might be able to send a delegate thirty miles to a congress attended by delegates, from all over the United States and some from foreign lands. The oldest water company in this part of the country is thus the only one away from this important meeting of irrigators. Snit was begun on Saturday by R.H. Seale against the Bank of Anaheim, and an attachment placed on some of the Bank's property. The plaintiff apparently repented of his action, however, for on Monday he dismissed the suit and released the attachment of his own accord. It became apparent "You've been around six times," said he. "Six times! Holy smoke, and I haven't seen anything yet!" said the Alcalde. Then, after paying his fare, he strolled down toward the merry Midway. Some little comment has arisen as to whether the laundryman Sing Lee arrested at Tustin last week for purposes of deportation and our former well-known heathen fellow-townman, the mild-mannered highbinder of that name, are the same. Man Wo is inclined to think not, although the captured Celestial tails to the description of the Tustin man, in that he is "desperate character," yet when Sing Lee left Anaheim he abandoned the laundry business, and likewise changed his name to Ab Sam, under which title he is now supposed to be sporting about. LATER—Sing Lee has been heard from. He has been stealing water up the ditch, and has been taxed $10 for the infamy. He hasn't been deported yet, but is "getting there gradually." The Tustin Chinaman was his "cousin." The Fullerton Tribune of Saturday contains the following: "At a meeting of the City Trastees of Anaheim last week, a member of the board presented an ordinance to compel the inhabitants to trade at home, and to provide suitable punishment for the violation of its provisions. It was laid on the table, and it is doubtful if it will ever come up again—it never should, at least. This was probably drawn up to prevent some of their citizens from trading in Fullerton. A number of people across the sand wash trade here because they find a good market for their produce and can buy goods just as cheap here as in Anaheim." Not on that account so much as the light-headed character of the man who introduced it. Once a man's mind becomes deranged, no conclusions should be drawn from his acts, but pass them over in indulgent judgment till the bogie man comes around. See? The Los Angeles Fair, to be held from the 10th to the 21st instants, is already exciting great attention. Particular attention is called to the free-for-all trot for a purse of $2,000. The horses are the best on the Pacific Coast. The stallion trot on Monday will be the beat of its class ever trotted in Southern California. There are ten entries one horse from Portland, Or., one from San Francisco, and the best ones from Southern California. The race will be for blood and will prove very interesting. The entries in the pavilion are coming in very fast, while the stock entries are something beyond most sanguine expectations. The management desire the farmers of this section to make an exhibit of anything they have that is of good quality—pumpkins, fruits, vegetables, or anything they have that is grown on the rach. All it will cost them will be the $250 for one exhibitor's ticket, which admits them to the fair all week. Next week the Los Angeles Fair takes place and from present indications it will be the best and most successful in the history of society. No less than $20,000 is offered in pursues and premiums, and these liberal inducements have attracted large entries in all departments. There will be a fine display of all the products of the field, orchard, stock farm and household. Nearly 150 horses are entered for the races. Some of the speed purses are as high as $2,000 and naturally a splendid class of horses will be present. These being the last big races of the season, every owner and driver is anxious that his stables should make a good showing, and that its representatives earn their winter oats. Sensational races and close finishes will doubtless be the rule and some of the records are likely to be broken. The society has erected a line pavilion on this side. Mr. Cainna brought into town day after a beautiful specimen of quince, which weighed two pounds and measured twice inches one way and 15 inches other way; was grown on Mr. Hanna's ranch southwest town without irrigation. Clay Kellogg went to Los Angeles Tuition day morning to attend the meeting of Irrigation Congress, which convened on this day and will be in session later Saturday. An effort will be made to bring the delegation to Orange county to spend a day with us as we what we have done in the way of rigation. Miss Stella Craig and Nora Read have taken their departure for Los Angeles, where they will locate temporarily. Ross Craig is stationed at Yuma and is still engaged in taking an inventory of the stock on the land of the Southern Pacific. Whenever Miracle Craig permits him to locate permanently the ladies will join him and go housekeeping. Thomas District and George Kaiser Dubuque, Iowa, arrived in town on Saturday morning and will locate permanently in California. Mr. District is a half brother to me well-known follow-townman John Schmierman, and will go into business with him Mr. Kaiser will remain here for some weeks and may possibly locate; if not, he will continue in Toronto San Francisco Both gentlemen are old schoolmates of Miracle Craig and express themselves as being delighted to get to California and escort the rigors of the Eastern climate. Judge T.K Wilson suffered a severe stroke of apoplexy in Los Angeles on Sunday and although medical skill was exhausted,the endeavor to restrain him to his health,hoc expired on Monday evening Judge Wilson was born in Bradford,Mary April 20, 1837,and early in 1860 became California and settled at Mokelumelho Calaveras county,where he taught school for a brief period.In 1879 he was elected one of Superior Judges of San Francisco drawing one year term.Hew was two re-elected and served upon bench in this city for ten years.In April 1899 he signed to accept a co-partnership in Los Angeles,the first being Brunson,Nelson Lamme.The firm continued to exist until Judge Brunson's retirement two years ago Since that time to presentthe firm Wilson & Lamme has remained intact.Paula longtime Judge Wilson was the legal visor of our irrigation district,and durings his visits here made many friends among those with whom he came in contact.widow and three children survive him.

Seale against the Bank of Anaheim, and an attachment placed on some of the Bank's property. The plaintiff apparently repented of his action, however, for on Monday he dismissed the suit and released the attachment of his own accord. It became apparent to him that to throw the Bank into insolvency would result disastrously to every depositor, whereas, by pursuing the present policy of liquidation, the outcome will be most satisfactory. — Twenty-three new chairs have been received for the public schools, and eight of them have been placed in Prof. Grogan's room and a like number in the West school. Although those are good as far as they go, they afford but little relief to the overcrowded condition of the school. Another school room is an imperative necessity. Schools were out yesterday, on account of being in Labor Day, and several of the teachers and many of the scholars improved the occasion by visiting the fair. — Antonio Lopez was up before Justice Landell on Saturday charged with taking a shot at Isidro Moreno during some festivities at Yorba on the 3d of the month. The Mexicans had been having a celebration, and as Lopez was on his way home he occupied Moreno and took it into his head to fire at him, with his revolver, with which many of the joyous throng-participating in the event of the day were armed. The ball struck Moreno in the arm and indicted a painful but not dangerous wound. The Judge set the examination for Monday next, and released the prisoner on $300 bail. — The Anaheim Cornet Band is to be revived, and it is to have a first-class instructor and leader, Prof. J. D. Loppenstion of Philadelphia was in the city Thursday and made the necessary arrangements to take hold of the band and give the members instructions weekly. There is some splendid material in this city for a first-class band, but the boys are out of practice, and need a professional instructor. Prof. Loppestein comes highly recommended as a thorough practical musician, and under his efficient training the band will no doubt become a first-class musical organization. There was a large crowd of spectators at the track all foreseen Monday, watching the scores of horses exercising on the circuit. Interest, of course, centered in the pacing event Wednesday, consequently Wood, Dick and Silkwood were the center of attraction at the stalls. Dick took a little exercise early in the morning, and Wood came out a little later, after having been freshly shod, and went around the circuit a few times. He broke once, however, but it did not seem to lessen his gait very much. Silkwood jogged around the track several times, and then went a mile, but he broke at the five-eighth pole and ran several hundred yards before he was brought down to work again. The town is rapidly filling up with strangers, almost every train bringing them in from all directions. Not only lovers of the turf, but tramps and confidence operators as well are finding their way here. The officers are running in a host of them almost every night, and hustling them out of town the following day. It would be well for residents to be careful about leaving their valuables in exposed places.

The whole display will be given at Agricultural Park and can be witnessed for one admission. In addition to the trotting, pacing and running races there will be balcony ascensions, parachute leaps, bicycle race and other attractions. During the program of the fair the railroads will sell excursions tickets to Los Angeles at reduced rates. — The Santa Ana correspondents, who have been doing nothing but write about the races for a week past, sends up the following echoes from the track: The Ladies' Tournament will be called at 12:30 o'clock sharp on Thursday. Messrs. Plosante, Beckett, Robinson and Bisby will act as judges of the races through the week, and Messrs O. P. Riggs, Blee Gifford and Harvoy will be timers. All vehicles carrying passengers for hire between the fair grounds and Santa Ana will be charged a license of $5 each. Complimentary tickets will be issued to all delegates of the Irrigation Congress who may visit the fair, admitting them to the agricultural and horticultural exhibition at the pavilion.

Mr. James has handed us the following statement for publication: Metz Block, corner Center and Los Angeles Sts., Opp. Postoffice, Anaheim. ISAAC LYONS. STATEMENT OF MR. JAMES. Mr. James has handed us the following statement for publication: We desire to be allowed space for a few words in regard to the report made by the committee appointed to examine the books of the Bank of Anaheim. First, as to incorrect statement in regard to amount on deposit. For the eleven years that we have had charge of the Bank, the semi-annual statement for publication in the ANAHEIM GAZETTE, and in the County Recorder's office has been made up according to the same rule. The Bank Examiners have rendered their statement, sometimes, if not always, after the same rule, as their published statement shows. We fail to see where any depositor would have been either injured or benefitted had we added the overdrafts to the deposits, thus making the deposits technically correct. We copied our statement from the daily balance as was our invariable rule with no desire to mislead or misrepresent. As to our personal account, we beg to state that we deposited more than we withdrew from January 19, 1893 to Sept. 8, 1873. The report gave our withdrawals within the periods, but not our deposits. As to Mr. Stadttegger's remarks about no stock ledger being kept, even he seemed to be able to get at who owns the stock, and how much each holder has issued to him and when it was issued. There has been no change in the stock books, or stock holdings since January, 1883 until August 9, 1893, and when changes in stock was made then, we failed to call the book-keeper's attention to making up of the new entries on the stock book. However, the names of the holders of the stock can be as readily obtained from the certificate book as from stock ledger. Other parties having called to examine the stock books have had no trouble or complaint to offer in regard to readily obtaining the desired information. As to the Bank's published statement showing U.S. bonds and that none could be found in the institution. We will say that we never claimed that the Bank owned any U.S. bonds, in fact, never did own any such bonds. The books do not show it, nor does any semi-annual statement furnished the ANAHEIM GAZETTE for publication, or any semi-annual statement furnished the County Recorder for record show such to be the case. After the publication by the committee of their report we were shown a statement published by the Book Examiners on January 1, 1893, and it shows U.S. bonds, $5600, or about that, and the matter can be easily explained. The printed blank forms that are always furnished us for filling in are this way: First comes, U.S. bonds. Second comes, miscellaneous stocks and bonds. Now, it is readily seen that our $5600 miscellaneous stocks and bonds was placed on the wrong line. The amount agreed exactly, as Mr. Stadttegger readily observed on our books, and as was found in our securities. We believe we could have satisfied Mr. Stadttegger that this was how this occurred if we had been asked. As to our individual indebtedness to the Bank, the two investments made, which created this indebtedness was made in good faith, and knowing that we had a legal right to make them, believing that the Bank would be profited by them.
