HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK New City Board Gets Down to Business. Report of Their First Business Meeting, Held Tuesday Evening—Election for Water Bonds Carried. Almost Unanimously—All the Amendments Carried But One—The Vote in Detail—Stories of Indians and Lions — Pomological News Notes and Personal Mention. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Rust, Conrad, Lewis-Belmisen and McWilliams. This was the first business meeting held under the new regime, and according to the maxim that a new broom sweeps clean, it is needless to say that this board will be no exception to the rule, but have already begun to sweep pretty clean. The Committee on Public Improvements reported that a visit had been paid to the city water works and the large tank was found to be leaky badly. The committee was given power to have the leakage stopped. The matter of keeping bridges within the city limits in repair was discussed at length as a doubt has heretofore existed as to who should keep them in repair, the city or the water company. It was ordered that the next time a bridge has to be built or repaired the work will be done by the city and the bill for the same presented to the water company for payment. This will be done as a starter to test the matter. The special committee appointed to purchase a new pump asked for further time. A Wellington pump can be purchased in Los Angeles for $463 and the firm agrees to take the old city pump as part payment for $100. The offer is a good one and the committee will probably make the purchase. The draft of an ordinance granting the S. P. a right of way on Olive and Santa Ana streets was called up and read. There are entirely too many provisions tacked on to the proposed ordinance, and the Clerk was instructed to write to the railroad company and ascertain what provisions of the ordinance they would accept, and also request the company to forward a new draft covering the case. Mr. Wheeler appeared before the board with one of his fire extinguishers and desired that the city purchase a dozen of them for the fire department. Early in the evening he demonstrated by a test that the machine was a good one, as it extinguished a large "From Desert to Garden," by L. M. Holt of Los Angeles. "Grafting and Budding," by E. A. Bonino of Lamanda Park. Papers will be read the second day as follows: "The Nicaragua Canal," by Judge Franklin Blades of Pomona; "Transportation," by ex-Gov. Lionel A. Sheldon of Pasadena; "Lessons of the Cooperative Movement," by E. W. Holmes of Riverside. Afternoon session—1:30 to 5 o'clock. "Recent Work on Plant Diseases," by Prof. Newton B. Pierce of Santa Ana; "Fruit Drying and Grading," by C. E. Tebbatts of Pasadena; "Pruning and Curing the Lemon," by I. C. Wood of Outario. The election of officers for the ensuing year will follow, after which there will be miscellaneous business, including the selection of the next meeting place, and adjournment. INDIANS AND LIONS. John and Charles Wagner were in town on Saturday and regaled the reporter with stories of Indians in Montana and lions at Fort Tejon. At the former place, the latter arrived a few days after the Nez Perces fight in '75, when the Indians buried their dead by scores in the streams and caved the banks down upon them, to keep from the work of digging graves. It is needless to say he refrained from drinking water from those streams for some time; in fact we think he broke the record for abstinence from use of water for drinking purposes. John Wagner shed at Fort Tejon many years ago, and suffered much loss by the depredations of California lions. One night a big fellow carried off ten sheep, and the next day one of the herders found one of the carcasses under a scrubby tree, covered with brush, having left there by the lion for a repast some other day. The herder cleared away a small space on the sheep's hide, and applied a quantity of strychnine, and went home and told Mr. Wagner not to bother about the lion further, as on the morrow he would be dead. A day or two after John set out to look for the beast. The poisoned sheep had been eaten, and as he copied some crows circling about some distance further on, he started over to see what was up, when suddenly he came upon the lion lying under the shade of a tree, ten feet long from tip to tip, and as big as all outdoors. To say that our fellow citizen was frightened is to express it mildly. He had more hair on the top of his head than he has now, and every individual hair rose up like it was quills on the back of the fretful porcupine. But the lion was dead, and after fully satisfying himself of the fact, John skinned him, and as one of his neighbors had bad habit of coming over to his camp to steal his "jerked" meat, and the lion's meat looked so white and nice, he determined to take a lot home, and hang it on the line with his other meat, and let his neighbor have the benefit of it. A large quantity of the lion's meat was accordingly strung up on the line, and sure enough next morning it was all gone. THE WATER COMPANY THE BOND ISSUE CARRIES—A AMENDMENTS EXCEPT ADOPTED—A DIRECTOR'S MEMBER Out of a total of 5,012 shares voted election of the stockholders of the water company held last Saturday morning to answer or not a bonded indebted $150,000 should be created, 4,930 votes voted in the affirmative, while only one against the proposition. It was once most important meetings ever held by stockholders, and it was apparent that the bonds would be outset that they would be carried most unanimously. That the bonds floated there seems to be no disposition doubt, and several of our local capitals have signified their willingness to large share of the securities, which are a bond on the ditches, water rights anderty of the company. The money used to better perfect our water system comenting the ditches where needed, ing reservoirs and wiping out the old oil of the company, which has existed many years. The very flattering vee received for the issuance of the bondsplainly that a change in the managementthe company's affairs is desired,andthe change will be for the better is therofall. At 2 o'clock, the time for the close polls,the board reconvened and announced that the adoption or rejectethe proposed amendments to the burea was next in order.The matter had called up on April 5th last,但 no quo being present at that meeting,the was postponed until last Saturday,the necessary two-thirds of all the stock sued was found to be represented.A number of shares were voted by proxy,voting continued until 5 o'clock,when polls were declared closed.The count of tickets was then commenced,and its half-past 7 before the tedious task was ed.Following are the amendments vowedfor and the number of votes received: Amendment No. 1, Article 1, Sec. 1,now exists.-Each share of stock intheheim Union Water Company shall represent an acre or fraction of an acre of land.stockholder may locate one or more shares on any one acre or fraction of an acre of land.但 no stockholder shall locate stock upon any land in a less ratio than share per acre. Proposed amendment,Article 1,Sec. 1Each share of stock inthe Ausheim UWater Company shall represent an acre fraction of an acre of land.Any stockholder may locate one or more shares of stock The draft of an ordinance granting the S. P. a right of way on Olive and Santa Ana streets was called up and read. There are entirely too many provisions tacked on to the proposed ordinance, and the Clerk was instructed to write to the railroad company and ascertain what provisions of the ordinance they would accept, and also request the company to forward a new draft covering the case. Mr. Wheeler appeared before the board with one of his fire extinguishers and desired that the city purchase a dozen of them for the fire department. Early in the evening he demonstrated by a test that the machine was a good one, as it extinguished a large bonfire in a jiffy. The machine costs $15. The board was pleased with the working of the machine, but decided to wait awhile before laying in supply. The Santa Fe company has laid a water main from the eastern terminus of the city's main to their station to furnish water for depot purposes. The city will give the company water at the rate of $2 per month, which amount is to be put to the company's credit until the laying of the pipe is paid for, when the pipe will become the property of the city. As Mr. Witte negotiated with the railroad company for all this work, and as no official action had ever been taken by the old board in the matter, the Clerk was instructed to inform Mr. Witte to be at the next meeting of the board and enlighten the members as to the additions to the water main so that they will know "where they are at." Frank Steadman asked to have a 3-inch water pipe laid to his property on the corner of Clementina street and Broadway. Granted. A fire plug was ordered placed at the corner of Los Angeles street and Broadway. One will also be placed near the Santa Fe. The request of S.S. Federman to erect a small frame barn on his lot, near the City Hall, was denied. Rev. Irvin reported that he is fearful that the tall gum trees opposite his property on Emilie street may be blown down during a heavy wind, thereby endangering his life and property. The Marshal was instructed to look into the matter, and if there is danger to have the trees cut down. The bill of George Peters of Santa Ana for $250 for hauling over two booths, which were used at the late election, was considered a piece of extravagance on the part of the County Clerk, who engineered the job. By express the charge would have been about 50 cents. The bill was laid over and the board adjourned. BUENA PARK. Mr. Dick Merrill has sold twenty acres of his property to Mr. Mitchell of Arizona. Mr. Lawrence Conner and tride and Miss Conner of West Virginia arrived at the Park Sunday evening. Mr. Conner went East three years ago, but like many another has returned to make California his permanent home. Mr. Kennedy is filling the position made vacant by Mr. George Caldwell as station agent on the S.P. The latter has removed to Long Beach. The best wishes of a host of friends follow him. Andrew Anderson and family removed to Clearwater on Tuesday. Rev. P.A. Field was called to El Monte a few days ago to the bedside of his father, who is very ill. Cards of invitation are issued to the many friends of Dick Murray by Miss Lenore Speidel at Panay cottage. Mr. Murray leaves for the East soon. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Whitaker and Miss Cora Champlin will start next Wednesday. CHURCH NOTICES. Presbyterian Church—Rev. T. Beaziloy, pastor.

The subject of discourse at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday night was "The Only Name." The text was Acts, p. 112. Rev. T. Beaziley, the pastor, said: The unqualified utterances of the early proachers concerning Christ were remarkable. Not a word of apology was uttered by them. They knew they were dealing with facts. Facts are hard things for unbelief to deal with. Man's chief concern is how to be saved. We see both vice and virtue in our midst. We want the good to predominate. Human nature is a strange compound for us to operate with, and to operate on. Civil law is not enough to do all the improving work that is necessary, because the representatives of civil law often consider what is popular, rather than what is right. Many expedients are recommended as remedial agents. One says education is the remedy for evil. The fact is, the best educated men are not always the most free from evil. Some talk largely about art, and others recommend the deductions of pure reason. Whose reason, yours or mine? No human expedition can do superhuman work. The advocates of these various methods fail to show where they have succeeded in bringing a clean thing out of an unclean What light have they shed on human destiny? Can they answer questions, "Is death a sleep?" "Is man a responsible being?" "Can sin be forgiven; if so how?" The way that is opened by the owner of the one name is open to us What is in a name? Write a name on a cheque and present it at the bank, and find what is in a name God has caused it to be written At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow." If not in reverence then in acknowledgment of his supremacy Substitute any other name for the name of Jesus and how flat will be the utterance Why has not more been done through the use of that name? Jesus himself tells us "Ye will not come." God respects human freedom; but man will be responsible for its exercise. THE VALUABLE CITIZEN. The citizen who is of the most value to a community, town or city, is not always the man who possesses the most wealth, the highest intelligence or the most aristocratic lineage. Of course the two former will increase a man's usefulness if he will but exert them in the proper direction But the valuable citizen who is of the most value to a community town or city is not always the man who possesses the most wealth, the highest intelligence or the most aristocratic lineage Of course the two former will increase a man's usefulness if he will but exert them in the proper direction But the valuable citizen who is of the most value to a community town or city is not always the man who possesses the most wealth, Mr. Kennedy is filling the position made vacant by Mr. George Caldwell as station agent on the S.P. The latter has removed to Long Beach. The best wishes of a host of friends follow him. Andrew Anderson and family removed to Clearwater on Tuesday. Rev. P. A. Field was called to El Monte a few days ago to the bedside of his father, who is very ill. Cards of invitation are issued to the many friends of Dick Murray by Miss Lenore Speidel at Panys cottage. Mr. Murray leaves for the East soon. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Whitaker and Miss Cora Champlin will start next Wednesday for Wilson's Peak for a month's outing. George Whitaker has been entertaining an old-time friend from Chicago, Ed Hobler. He brings the intelligence that many of the moneyed men of that city are pointed toward California. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott now living at Orange were here Monday looking for land. Mr. Harrington who was thrown from his horse some weeks ago and nearly paralyzed is recovering very slowly. There is no happier man in this vicinity than Dr. Gibbs; his wife presented him with a lovely daughter last week. But Mr. Leann thinks the new girl baby at his house cannot be beaten. The Y. P. S. C. E. social at the home of Mr. J. H. Pittado last Friday evening was a perfect success. The society was very handsomely entertained by host and hostess. The skating rink is well patronized by our young people. It is open every evening. Mrs. Walker of Los Angeles has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pitblado, during the week. Mrs. McKelvey of Garden Grove is visiting at Mrs. Joseph Speidel's, and Mr. Griffith of Massachusetts is at Sunny Side. The rain was received very gratefully Saturday and Sunday. Small favors thankfully received and larger ones in proportion. A. W. Whitaker and son Frank visited El Monte Sunday. Judge H. S. Merrifield of Manhattan, Kansas, is visiting his nieces, Mrs. A. W. Whitaker and Miss Cox. POMOLOGICAL. The spring meeting of the Pomological Society will be held at the Universalist Church vestry at Pasadena Thursday and Friday next, May 3rd and 4th. The morning of the first day will be taken up with the call to order by the President, N.W. Blanchard of Santa Paula; address of welcome, by C.E. Tebbetts of Pasadena; response by the President; reading of minutes by Captain D. Edson Smith of Santa Ana; reports of officers and committees, and routine business. The afternoon will be devoted to the reading of the following papers: A general discussion will follow the reading of each paper: "The Pollenization of Fruit Blossoms," by Prof. A.J. Cook of Claremont. "Floral Culture," by Mrs.Jennie E.Carr of Pasadena. "Small Fruits," by G.M.Tabor of Pasadena. Evening session—7:30 to 9 o'clock. THE VALUABLE CITIZEN. The citizen who is of the most value to a community, town or city, is not always the man who possesses the most wealth, the highest intelligence or the most aristocratic lineage. Of course the two former will increase a man's usefulness if he will but exert them in the proper direction. But the valuable citizen par excellence is the man who believes thoroughly in his town, its people and its business and professional men. He does not make it his business to deory the honesty of his local banker or merchant or the ability of the resident lawyer or physician. But instead he is an enthusiastic advocate of all things that pertain to the welfare of his own locality. He has the interest of his schools, churches, societies and people at heart and exploits their excellence abroad. We need more of this class of citizens and have the material in our midst to construct them. BIRTH. EVERHARDY—In Los Angeles, Friday, April 20, 1854, the wife of Mat Everhardy, of a son, Ten pounds.

One of the Directors who, by the way, had a large number of proxies in his possession, became somewhat confused as to the technical wording of the amendment and deposited all of his shares in favor of imposing the fine, when in reality he thought he was voting to abolish it. He voted as he intended, his large number of proxies would have no doubt materially changed the result. As it is he will be subjected to pay the fine should he miss meeting. His amazement can better be imagined than described when he found out his mistake. NEW ORDINANCES. At a special meeting of the Board of Survivors hold last Saturday, an ordinance was introduced which in the main provides that all the saloons in this county must front on a street, be on the ground floor, but not in a basement; such room must not contain any card, billiard or pool tables and that windows must be at least as large as one half of the front of the room; and they must be clear, plain glass—no screens, frosting painted or ground glass to be used. The saloon-room must not be connected by doors with any other room and no game or device of any kind will be permitted in the saloon-room where liquor are dispensed. The ordinance takes effect on May 6th next. It is understood that the saloon-keepers of the county will contest the legality of the ordinance in the courts. The board at the same meeting also passed a bicycle ordinance, which ordains that riders on "bikes" must always pass to the right when meeting teams in the road and must turn out, at least one hundred feet before the meeting. If the roads are bad or for other reasons the rider cannot turn out on the way he must dismount and hold his wheel while the team passes. The riders must also provide their wheels with bells to use during the day which shall be rung three times when approaching a team, and they also must supply their wheels with lanterns if used at night.

THE BOND ISSUE CARRIES—ALL THE AMENDMENTS EXCEPT ONE ADOPTED—A DIRECTOR'S MISTAKE out of a total of 5,012 shares voted at the union of the stockholders of the water company last Saturday morning to ascertain whether or not a bonded indebtedness of 4,930 should be created, 4,930 shares in the affirmative, while only 82 were lost the proposition. It was one of the important meetings ever held by the shareholders, and it was apparent at the time that the bonds would be carried alumnanimously. That the bonds will be paid there seems to be no disposition to them, and several of our local capitalists signified their willingness to take a share of the securities, which are to be paid on the ditches, water rights and property of the company. The money will be better perfect our water system by treating the ditches where needed, building reservoirs and wiping out the old debt company, which has existed for so many years. The very flattering vote reaffirms that a change in the management of company's affairs is desired, and that change will be for the better is the wish o'clock, the time for the closing of bills, the board reconvened and that the adoption or rejection of proposed amendments to the by-laws exist in order. The matter had been up on April 5th last, but no quorum present at that meeting, the same postponed until last Saturday, when necessary two-thirds of all the stock is found to be represented. A large number of shares were voted by proxy. The continued until 5 o'clock, when the mere declared closed. The counting was then commenced, and it was just 7 before the tedious task was endowing are the amendments voted in the number of votes that each amendment No. 1, Article I, Sec. 1, as it is.

A man named Milner, living over near Buena Park, woke up on Tuesday morning and found that a double and single set of harness had been stolen from his barn during the night. Being of an industrious turn of mind, he borrowed another set of harness and drove into town with twenty-one dozen eggs for sale. His ill-luck had not deserted him, in front of Boyd's store the box containing the eggs tilted over and upset, breaking an even twelve dozen. Nine dozen were saved from the wreck, and these were disposed of and Mr. Milner went on his way rejoicing. The sportively inclined Phil'Stanton has been disposed to grow merry and more sporty yet over the beautiful pink eye with which we have been decorated during the week. But we wonder if he has forgotten the time when he went out hunting and took poison oak in his face, and when he applied the doctor's lotion, it all ran down on his whiskers and clotted and turned green? We wonder if he remembers how he looked like a painted red man, and the boys used to come in and give him the horse laugh low down when he could do nothing but lay back on his pillows and cuss? Say, Stanton, do you—you're head-loaded anarchist, do you? The Odd Fellows of this city are making an effort to secure the Del Campo premises and fifteen acres of land adjoinning the building, which it is their intention to donate to the State as an Odd Fellows' Home. The lodges of Los Angeles, and other cities of Southern California have signified their willingness to co-operate with the local organization in securing the premises, and the proposition will be laid before the Grand Lodge which convenes in San Francisco shortly. This would make an ideal location for the home and every assistance possible should be given the local lodge by our citizens in their commendable endeavor to locate the home in our midst. Fishermen who come up from the coast with fish report that, since the recent epidemic which resulted in strowing the shore for miles with dead fish, they have been unable to catch big fish of any kind, their catches for the most part being ocean snelt and croakers. Either the big barra-couda and halibut, which suffered, so disastrously by the mysterious epidemic, have become entirely extinct, or they have pulled out for pastures new. There is yet some discussion as to the cause of the eruption among the fish, the most probable being that the wholesale slaughter was caused by the burating of petroleum wells in the sea.

The hotel and fifteen acres are offered for $15,000, and it is without doubt the finest place for the home yet offered. The enterprising Odd Fellows of this city are determined to secure the home, and they will if money and work will do it. It is reported that two thirds of the voters at Fullerton have signed the petitions out asking the Supervisors not to grant saloon licenses in that place, and that after next week the saloons will have to close. All saloon licenses throughout the county expire next week, when application must be made for their renewal. The saloon men have petitions out for signatures asking the board to grant them licences to carry on their business, but it is safe to say that with the majority of voters against them the granting of their petitions will be exceedingly problematical. A company of would-be actors drifted into town last week, and announced their intention of putting a drama on Friday night called "A Mother's Sacrifice." They put up at a restaurant for a day or two and skipped out Friday morning, leaving the restaurant keeper "in the hole" for several dollars for board and lodging. When they left two of the worthies hired a horse and buggy of Lewis' stable, stating that they wanted to use the rig while "billing" the town. They drove over Santa Ana, put the horse in a stable there and then lit out for pastures new. A party of gay fishermen went fishing down at the mouth of New river one day last week, and caught so many of the funny tribe that the waters were almost depleted of piscatorial delicacies for the time being. Big Bentz and Frank Fox caught basketful by setting upon them, the fish were so tame and plentiful, and John Everharty caught a carp so large that it was with difficulty the others persuaded him it was not a young sea lion. The river is alive with fish at its mouth, where they come in contact with the salt water of the ocean, which they do not relish, and being slow about getting up stream, are taken in large quantities by local fishermen who declare there is no such sport as fishing at New river. The Christian church is planning to hold a series of revival meetings in a tent on the lot recently purchased at the corner of Center and Adelaide streets. The services are expected to begin early in May and to continue for several weeks.

Claybaugh, trainmaster of the Pennsylvania lines of railroad, stopped off for a short time on Tuesday to see Agent Claybaugh of the Santa Fe. A tracing up of relationship showed that both were kin. After a short stay Mr. Claybaugh resumed his trip, which is one of pleasure in the western country. Mrs. Frank Ey and her two boys Frank and Georgie of Santa Ana were on the ill-fated steamer Los Angeles when she struck the rocks and sank off Point Sur, near Monterey, Isaf Sunday night, but were rescued along with all the other passengers, excepting four unfortunates who went down to a watery grave. Mr. B. F. Seibert, who formerly resided here and was in the banking business, returned for a short visit on Tuesday. He is located at Omaha now and is in the express business. Mr. Seibert started a bank at Santa Ana after leaving here, and its failure, some twelve years or so ago, was one of the sensational happenings of the early days. We hear that it is not altogether improbable that he and his family may again take up their residence here. Dick Hill, who resigned his position here as agent for the Santa Fe to take a similar place at Lamanda Park, where he expected to be benefited by the higher altitude for his lung trouble, has given up the latter place preparatory to taking his leave with his family for his old home in the East. Dick is not so well as when he left Anaheim, but he takes with him the best wishes of a host of friends here, who hope that his health may be ultimately restored. Hugh J.
