HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK Meeting of the City Board of Trustees. Proclamation for the Municipal Election on April 9th—Sample Ballots to Be Sent Voters—Names of Election Officers—Wedding Bells—Two Weddings Since Least, and Others to Follow—Dr. Garner Is a New Spring Poet—Col. Northam and Judge McNally—News Notes and Personal Mention. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present Trustees Witte, Rust and Conrad. The Ordinance Committee introduced Ordinance No. 97, calling for a general municipal election on the 9th of April. The same was passed. It will be found in another column this morning. In appointing the several election officers the law provides that one for each office shall be taken from the political party that polled the largest number of votes at the last preceding general election, and the other from the party that polled the next largest number of votes at such election. The board did not comply strictly with this provision when appointing the election officers and consequently the names were changed to read as follows: Inspectors, F. A. Korn, W. F. Robison; Judges, F. C. Smythe, C. Hille; Clarks, Theo. Rimpau, O. V. Knowlton; Ballot Clerks, J. P. Zeyn, M. Walker. The new election law has made a great many changes in the manner of conducting elections, and the printing of the election proclamation, which was heretofore published prior to the election in cities of the sixth class, has been substituted by having "sample" ballots mailed to all voters in the precinct. Concerning the establishment of a public library, the City Attorney reported that the time was too short to properly bring the matter before the people. Five library trustees would have to be caucused for and the nominees would then be voted for at the city election along with the rest of the candidates. The matter was laid over until which he will set out to peach and apricot trees. Rev. Watson is expected to deliver a lecture in the near future on "Michael Angelo." WEDDING BELLS. JOHN RIMPAU AND MISS IDA EVER-HARDY MARRIED YESTERDAY—ALEX. HUCH AND MISS WEISEL MARRIED ON MONDAY. The names of two ancient and honorable families were joined together yesterday morning at the Catholic church, when John Rimpau took Miss Ida Everhardy, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Everhardy, to be his wife; and by the marriage, which was attended by a large concourse of our society people, the social circles of the community lose the presence of a popular young couple who have been active at social gatherings in the past, and who count their friends in multi-tudes on all sides. The newly made man and wife will reside at Yuma, A. T., where the groom has for some time past been located, and whither they left immediately after the ceremony. After spending a short honeymoon in Los Angeles, they take their departure for their future home, with the best wishes of a host of friends following them. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Caballeria, and was celebrated at St. Boniface church at 8 o'clock. The bride looked very pretty in a gray traveling dress, and was attended by her sister, Miss Annie Everhardy, as bridesmaid. Ben Rimpau, brother of the groom, was best man. With the high contracting parties were Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Rimpau and Mr. and Mrs. J. Everhardy. The impressive ceremony that made the happy couple man and wife was performed in the presence of a large concourse of friends, who congratulated the couple heartily at its conclusion. After the ceremony the couple were driven to the Santa Fe depot, where they took the train for Los Angeles. HUCH—WRISEL. One of the happiest marriages ever solemnized here was that which joined Alexander Huch and Miss Josephine Weisel in the holy bonds of wedlock, at the palatial residence of the bride's parents on Monday evening. The house was very handsomely decorated in honor of the happy event, and when, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the words pronounced by Rev. Meyer of the German Methodist Church made the happy couple man and wife, the house was filled to overflowing with a gathering of the friends and neighbors of the high contracting parties, gathered to wish them all manner of happiness on their journey through life. ORANGE EXCHANGE. REPORTS OF THE SALE OF ALMOST THE ENTIRE CROP IN THE COUNTY. The Board of Directors of the Orange County Fruit Exchange met at Orange on Tuesday; present, Messrs. Derby, Collins McFadden, Rogers and Bunday. Villa Park reported the sale of their oranges to the Earl Fruit Co., and was ratified by the exchange. The services of H. G. Harlin will be dispensed with after March 31st, and a letter of recommendation, as to his efficiency while in the employ of the board, was ordered written. Mr. McFadden was elected delegate to the Executive Board in place of Mr. Bundy at the meeting of March 28th. At last week's meeting of the exchange Mr. Scarriff was elected to take place of Mr. Derby, representative for the Santiago association. Propositions were received for the purchase of the entire orange crop of the exchange, as a whole or in part. The Santiago Orange Growers' Association reported having closed a deal with Earhby which was ratified by the exchange. The proposition of Thacker was accepted by the Anaheim association. The Placentia exchange reported a deal with the Germain Fruit Co. The deal of Mr. Hoy of Villa Park, with Thacker Bros., was ratified by the exchange. It was resolved by the exchange that one and after this date the several associations shall pay into the exchange 5 cents per boy on all oranges shipped by them, and that soon as the Secretary has funds in hand he shall return to the several associations 5 per cent additional heretofores paid into the exchange. The following prices were adopted by the exchange for the present: Navels, $1 50 for choice; $1 25 for standards; seedlings $1 25 for standards; Austrian Navels, choice; $1 35 for standards; $1 10 for Mr. McFadden was elected delegate to the Executive Board at the meeting March 21st, in place of Mr. Bundy, who was not able to attend. The Secretary was authorized to send the Executive Board $100 in part payment of the second assessment. C. G. McKINLEY, Secretary. HARDLY SPEAK AS THEY PASS BY. Some of those who pretend to know said that there exists a breach between those two well-known La Habra capitalist Col. Norham and Judge McNally, whose palatial residences adjoin one another over on the La Habra mesa. Northam's residence was first to be completed—in fact, work on Mr Nally's has but recently begun—and when she latter was about to select his residence... NEW SPRING POET. We take great pleasure in introducing to our readers this week a new light in the literary firmament—Dr. J. H. Garner of Santa Ana, whose uncommon gifts in the line of metrical composition have been known to his wide circle of friends for some time past, but whose modest and retiring disposition has been such as hitherto to prevent his verses from appearing in print. He possesses the true poetic fire, and his verses have the rippling gingle of an old hand at the business. The Doe is no slouch as a verse carpenter—on the contrary, we thing he is a winner. The first poem of his collection appears to be entitled "The Skating Rink," which some of the boys at Santa Ana sing to the tune of "Down on a Farm," and which we think establishes the Doe's right to claim a place among the galaxy of poets beyond the per-adventure of a doubt. We hope to follow it with others all time wears on: Oh! the nicest place I think is the roller skating rink. For a pleasant evening for young or old, You just buekle on the things and cut a few pigeon wings. There is nothing like a real skating roll. I once had a mother-in-law with a wart upon her jaw. Another one just like it on her nose; She buckled on a pair and her feet went in the air. It's no secret now that she wears striped hose. About the stripes I'm not a kicking, but the store tag was still sticking. With plain letters, "All wool and a yard wide," "We are selling out at cost," Oh, I felt that I was lost. For I really did feel sadly mortified. For those that comes too high, I really could not buy. My means were rather limited I swear. Oh! that dude who read aloud for the benefit of the crowd. I could have shot him when he read ten cents a pair! A country jake comes in, walks up, lays down his picks up a pair of rollers, puts them on. Both feet get in a cramp, then you hear him stamp, stamp, stamp. Every thing turns dark and he is surely gone. He don't think it much harm if he breaks a leg or arm. He says it never jaws him when he falls; Forward his foot slips. Oh, Lord! how hard he sits. Down on the bosom of his old blue overalls. One of the happiest marriages ever solemnized here was that which joined Alexander Huch and Miss Josephine Weisel in the holy bonds of wedlock, at the palatial residence of the bride's parents on Monday evening. The house was very handsomely decorated in honor of the happy event, and when, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the words pronounced by Rev. Meyer of the German Methodist Church made the happy couple man and wife, the house was filled to overflowing with a gathering of the friends and neighbors of the high contracting parties, gathered to wish them all manner of happiness on their journey through life. During the evening singing and dancing was enjoyed and a tempting collation was done justice to by all. The groom is one of our rising young men, with hosts of friends on all sides, and the bride is the handsome daughter of our well-known townman Mr. P. Weisel, who outdid himself in his efforts to entertain all at his daughter's marriage. The happy couple have gone to housekeeping in their new residence, presented to the bride as a wedding present by her father. The GAZETTE joins the many friends of the happy couple in wishing them all manner of prosperity in their married state. CHURCH NOTICES. First Presbyterian Church—Services for the week commencing Sunday, April 1st: 9:45 A.M., Sabbath school. II A.M., preaching and communion service. III C.P. M., Y.P. S.C.E. 7:30 P.M., M.R. Armor of Los Angeles may be expected to speak on the work of "Forence Rescue Mission." Wednesday evening, 7:20 prayer meeting. Reports of the Presbyterian gathering. Friday, 8 P.M., Bible class at pastor's residence. At the Presbyterian Church last Sunday, Easter was very appropriately observed. Pretty floral decorations, suitable music and an Easter sermon, were each in place. The forenoon discourse was based on the text, "Come see the place where the Lord lay," Matt: 28 chapter, 11 v. Rev. Mr. Bailey said: "Few people were over more suprised than were those who were first at the sepulchre, where Christ had been laid. One had given to Christ a costly tomb, and had prepared other costly gifts. It is possible to pay more respects to a dead body than to living, good man. An angel in form of a young man expressed sympathy with the early visitors, and gave them comforting information. Whoever heard of an aged angel? There is no weakness or decay in heaven whence the angel came. The apostles laid much stress on bearing witness to the resurrection of Christ. That is the needed work for today. The same power that effected Christ's resurrection is needed to bring men to-day into newness of life. Christ's resurrection was the antecedent, cursus the consequent. Before Christ's death his followers had very material conceptions of his work. After his resurrection and pentecost, a loftier enthusiasm influenced them. They showed dauntless tenacity of purpose and the word of the Lord grow. Some churches are built over tombs containing the bones of departed saints. Christ's church is built on an empty tomb. Not therefore on nothing. Bones prove the reign of death there. The empty grave shows the work of a power greater than death, which burts its gates. Omnipotence was there. The empty tomb is God's autograph. It authenticates salvation to the world. "The flowers we use for decoration tell of a quickening from that which was buried. From this God brings beauty and variety; so in the resurrection, Easter points to a higher condition of life. If ye then be risen with Christ seek those things which are above." Of the many excellent newspapers men in the wicked city of Santa Ana quite unnecessary to say that our Anna no reference to any of them, of course. Are many good men in the ranks of jour al at the county seat, and we love them all. But there is only one newspaper far among them, and everybody knows who My means were rather limited I swear. Oh! that dude who read aloud for the benefit of the crowd, I could have shot him when he read ten cents a pair! A country jake comes in, walks up, lays down his tun. Picks up a pair of rollers, puts them on. Both feet get in a cramp, then you hear him stamp, stamp, stamp. Every thing turns dark and he is surely gone. He don't think it much harm if he breaks a leg or arm. He says it never jars him when he falls; If forward his foot slips. Oh, Lord! how hard he sits. Down out the bosom of his old blue overalls. Now Steve Huff the other day thought he would skate away, He started out and never stopped to think. That this world is not so smooth as he might chance to choose. For a smooth and easy-going skating rink. He had luxury and care and everything to please. He won't look for any snag upon his trail. He will roll'em high perhaps, then suddenly collapse. And to stay upon his rollers he will fail. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. The following resolutions of respect have been adopted by Anaheim Lodge, No. 199, I. O. O. F: To the N. G., V.

Easter services were held in the churches Sunday, and the congregations were large. Mr. Wobb has taken up a colt estray on his ranch west of town. See advertisement. Rimpau Bros. announce that their opening of spring and summer goods will occur in a few days. The Native Daughters have cards out for their German at the Del Campo on the evening of April 11th. Nice serenade the editor got from friends at Buesa Park and Orangethorpe Friday night. But he was asleep. S. S. Federman has returned from viewing the sights at the Midwinter Fair and has brought him a linger of new spring goods. Ralph Blair, after having visited the Midwinter Fair, won an elegant gold watch at the raffle at Padgham's last Thursday evening. A report prevailed on the streets yesterday afternoon that Catalina island was sinking at the rate of about eight foot an hour. Fritz Christ, the enterprising merchant tailor, is putting up a commodious cottage on Broadway which is a distinct ornament to that part of town. Albrecht Bros. are the builders. The wind must blow with especial severity at Orange. A week or so ago it blew a house over, and last week it blew the spectacles off a man's nose. It frequently blows great guns. It looked like rain Monday, until the signal service predicted rain for Tuesday, when all indications of rain vanished, and we had bright sunny weather. An inch or two of rain, Mr. Weather Clerk. Water will be twenty-five cents this month, and all those who intend to irrigate had best get in and do their irrigating before the first. The rate for April will be fifty cents per hour for one hundred inches. Herman Dickel went up to Los Angeles Friday to meet an old schoolmate just over from Germany, but as the latter failed to arrive Herman put in the time as best he could until train time Saturday morning. McWilliams & Porter have the contract for putting up Frank Steadman's new residence on Broadway, which will be made ready for occupancy as soon as building operations will permit. It is reported that a couple living a Paul Frosslch, 75 cents; E. B. Foot, 75 cents; Jay Abbott, 55 cents; C. R. Ward, 64 cents; H. Travioli, 72 cents. Three of the biddens having submitted the same figures per cubic yard, lots were drawn between them, viz., Abbott, Taylor and Mills. Abbott was the successful bidder, and the contrast was awarded to him at 55 cents per cubic yard for 400 yards. A hitch in the negotiations between the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroads will prevent the restoration of the old rates as had been announced for April 1st. The cut rates go on, although Agent Claybaugh of the Santa Fe tells us that negotiations were pending yesterday whereby the old rates may yet be restored. Up to the hour of going to press, however, nothing had been heard of them, and the cut rates go on. The fourth annual convention of the Orange County Christian Endeavor Union will be held at the Presbyterian Church in Orange on April 7th. Sessions 9:30 A.M., 1:30 and 7 P.M. An interesting programme has been prepared. Rev. W. B. Lucas of New York will deliver an address in the evening. An amendment to the constitution will be voted upon in the evening. All endeavors should attend. Mr. Chrynoweth informs us that in cities of the sixth class (in which class is this city) voting on certificates of registration is permissable. He has been looking up the statute, and finds that in order to vote it is not necessary to be on the Great Register printed at the last general election—or on the supplemental register now in preparation, for that matter. All those who have registered since last Saturday, and whose names will consequently not appear upon the register, will make a note of the fact. Joe Becher came into the office smiling on Monday, and laying down a Perfecto on the editorial table, surprised us with the laconic remark: "It's a girl." There is nothing the matter with Joe. He is doing what he can to maintain the integrity of the republicio and to keep the total of population up to the high-water mark. Here's looking at you, Joe (bitching off the cigar and lighting it), that's a good cigar; and may your shadow never grow less. Joe has now a good pair to draw to. Clarence Groat has just put in four hundred feet of cement ditch at his place on Lemon street, below Santa Ana street, which is the first piece of work of the kind ever put in in his neighborhood. The ditch is eighteen inches wide at the bottom and of sufficient height to allow of easy irrigation of the land below it. He has gates at every tree row, and spart from the saving of water, the cement ditch is a great time saver in turning the water in and out of the rows. There should be more of these cement ditches, and we hope Mr. Groat's good example will find many followers. Mr. Cargill has a wire from Kansas City. PERSONAL MELANIA Mrs. Whiting of El Toro visited w Dr. Bullard during the week. Geo. H. Milburn of St. Louis, an friend of P. A. Stanton, was in town.

Those who pretend to know say exists a breach between those two La Habra capitalist, Col. Nor Judge McNally, whose palatial adjoin one another over on the LA Northam's residence was the completed—in fact, work on McNally but recently begun—and when was about to select his residence am suggested a site about a quarrel this side of his own residence, sorted to have said that if the same bury by McNally and built upon (m) would prevail upon the Santa up a commodious depot midway the two residences and on the opposing track. The site selected do not Northam's well-known andired reputation in that line, being the handsomest place on the really readily consented, and soon of carpenters and bricklayers at what is to be one of the finest restorations Southern California. The station called La Mirada—a view from an and was to be the finest on the Santa Fe, but McNally had nothing less than a stockholder corporation. So when Col. Northam the railroad company to see about he toured the plans had been applied to the company, but was surprised that Judge McNally had suggested site, some distance this side of his leaving Northam on the other, and what was more, the railroad had approved the site and would station upon it. To say that the Colonel Woolen was warm under the two express it mildly, and now they two eminent gentlemen just speak as by, but that's about all. UNDULY EXCITED.

Mr. Moulton writes had the model made of an ingenious contrivance calculated to simplify the work 8t topping and digging beets, and will send it on to Washington with his application for a patent. The machine is not altogether dissimilar from a mowing machine, minus the cutter, in appearance, and the topper runs along in front; topping beets, and immediately after comes a plough-shaped contrivance for digging them. Three horses will pull it easily in sandy soil. The model is the work of Mr. Croner, who has been working upon it at Chino, and is quite a clever piece of mechanism. We hope Mr. Croner will obtain a patent for his machine and make his fortune. He thinks of perfecting an arrangement whereby the beets, after being topped and dug, will be hoisted upon an endless reel and dumped into a wagon, thus making the work of tipping, digging and loading a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Quite a spirited discussion occurred between Rev. Baileyz of the Presbyterian church of this city and Rev. French of the Fullerton Baptist church at the meeting of temperance people at the Methodist church last Thursday evening. Mr. French took occasion to remark that the temperance people in Auabheim were like Newfoundland dog being shipped from one point to another, and which had lost its tag—they didn't know where they were going. To this Mr. Baileyz replied spiritedly, saying that prohibition would come only by educating the people up to it, not by legal sussation at this time. The time had not yet come for prohibition here, in the opinion of the temperance people of Auabheim, said Mr. Baileyz, and we think the eminent gentleman never spoke a trueraphorism. The time has not yet come for prohibition in Orange county—and in our opinion it is a pretty long way off. The majority of the people do not want it nor do we think they will favor it for some few brief spaces of years to come.

What looked like the beginning of a very ugly runaway occurred on Center street last Friday shortly before noon, when a horse hitched to a buggy standing near the beet headquarters broke its rope and bolted up the street. Several vehicles were being driven near, and one or two narrowly escaped collision. The horse had started on a lively ranch when W. F. Middleham, who was standing on the sidewalk near by, and whose attention was attracted to the runaway, started after the animal, and succeeded in catching it as it was clearing away to make a bee line toward the Santa Fe depot. Middleham did a good job, and was highly commended for his act by many who gathered on the sidewalk expecting to see a bad collision and a crash, the street at the time being filled with vehicles, in many of which were ladies. Middleham would blush like a school girl if he knew we were going to print this item about him, but as he is a candidate for City Trustee (long term), we consider we have right to say anything about him we please, except that he is a candidate for the "short term." D. W. Hudson, the notorious bilk who lived in Anaheim some years ago, and who was run out of town by being exposed in THE GAZETTE, has been indicted by the Los Angeles Grand Jury for swindling a woman in a real estate transaction. The manner of the swindle is peculiarly characteristic of Hudson. He and his partner, a man named Mead, have been conducting a "real estate brokerage" in Los Angeles for some time past. In the course of their manipulations they became acquainted with Mrs. Sarah V. Rubens and daughter. Mrs. Rubens had some spare money which she was willing to loan out at interest, and the "brokers" heard of this and laid their plans to gain possession of as much of the lady's money as they possibly could. Representing to Mrs. Rubens that they owned a tract of forty acres of land near San Fernando, the sharpers induced her to loan them $700. Before the money was transferred, Mrs. Rubens was taken out and shown a fine piece of property and told that the land shown would be security for the money loaned. Near the land was a piece of "wash" land. Hudson and Mead didn't own a foot of property in the San Fernando valley, but as soon as they gained possession of the $700 they at once purchased the "wash" land for $180 and recorded Mrs. Rubens mortgage upon it, clearing by the transaction $520. When Mrs. Rubens came to foreclose, she found nothing but the worthless piece of property to represent gained received." The matter was kept quiet until it was brought to the attention of the grand jury, when the indictments were drawn up. Hudson was arrested and thrown in jail.
