THE WEEK'S NEWS. Application for Reduction of City License Suggestion That the Saloon License Be Raised and That of the Merchants Lowered—City Fathers Listen to Arguments Concerning the Question at Their Tuesday Evening's Meeting—Modjeska Here—Memorial Day—Meeting of the Water Board—Are Stockholders Discriminated Against?—Other Items—Social Notes—Personal Mention. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session at the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Rust, Conrad, Helmsen, Lewis and McWilliams. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular meeting, which were approved as read. The Finance Committee reported on the examination of various reports, which were found correct. The Committee on Public Improvements reported that the bridges on the south end of Los Angeles street and Broadway and on the corner of Los Angeles and South streets were in dangerous condition. The committee had informed the water company about the same, but as yet the bridges have not been repaired. The leak in the water tank has not been stopped, but it does not loak so badly as formerly. The leak exists in the bottom of the tank and will be a difficult job to remedy it. The tank will have to be retarred, and will be attended to as soon as it is convenient for the committee to get at it. The committee's report was received and filed and authority was given them to repair the bridges referred to and charge the expense to the water company. The Ordinance Committee submitted Ordinance No. 98, which relates to the closing of the plaza at the intersection of Center and Palm streets, which was donated to the city by Mr. Langenberger in 1869. The ordinance also relates to the closing of certain streets on the plaza site, and further provides for the reversion of the land to acreage property. The ordinance will be passed at the next regular meeting of the board. The incidental expenses for reverting the land to acreage property will amount to $30, and the Clerk was instructed to write. disturbing the peace and quiet of the people of this city the afternoon before. Blake and another gentleman from Tustin, who sported beautiful flowing side whiskers, drove down Center street under the influence of a jag, and when in front of Squire Piercea temple of justice attempted to run over and demolish an unoffending fire hydrant situated there. The wheel ran up on the sidewalk and the progress of the buggy was impeded by the hydrant, when the driver started up his horse with the intention of pulling up the hydrant by the roots, when the horse became liberated from the rig and bolted down the road, throwing the occupants of the buggy out and demolishing the rig. Blake turned the air in his immediate vicinity a delicate parti-colored blue with his cuss words, and Marshal Steadman arrested him and was about to walk him off to jail when the astonished gentleman with side whiskers put up $10 bail for his appearance in court next day. The broken vehicle was patched up, the horse caught and both started home again. On Monday morning Blake showed up in court, and was fined in the amount of ten circulating simoleons of the realm. MODJESKA HERE THE DISTINGUISHED TRAGEDIENNE VISITING FRIENDS HERE FOR A FEW DAYS. Madame Modjeska, the distinguished tragienne, who has lately closed a most successful starring tour through the East, arrived in Anaheim on Tuesday evening, and is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. Langenberger at their palatial home on Sycamore and Lemon streets. On the second floor, over the parlor, a handsome suite of rooms are set apart and known as "the Madame's rooms," which are always at her disposal, and which are at present being occupied by the actress. With her is her husband, the Count Boezenta, familiarly referred to by his friends as "Mr." Bozenta, Miss Maud Durbin, of Modjeska's company, and the Madame's maid. The Madame's grandchild, who has been a guest at the house for some weeks past, and who on Tuesday came down to see the presses of this office in running operation, was an object of special interest to the Madame on her arrival, and he looked in return for her coming with the keenest interest. The party remain here until to-morrow, when they go to Arden, Madame's country place in the Santiago canyon, where they will probably remain for a couple of months, roasting amid the pastoral quietude of the mountain scene. After summering at Arden until the middle of July or the first of August, they go to San Diego for a brief trip, and thence to Europe and to their old home in Poland, to be abroad for some months. They return in time to take up Madame's next winter tour, probably the latter part of year. Modjeska complements giving only two more seasons on the stage, when she will retire. THE WATER BOARD HUGO WETZEL CLAIMS TO BE DISCIPLINATED AGAINST IN THE SCAN OF WATER PRICES. The water board met in regular session Saturday afternoon; present Director Crowther, Amerige, Nebelung, Spencer and Ryan; absent McFadden and Botsford. Mr. Spencer of the ditch committee reported on the continuation of the cementing of the ditch from East street west to Fairview, recommending Santa Ana street down to Worder's east line, thenco west to the intersection of the old ditch running south. The engineer was instructed to make a survey of the route, and draw up plans and specifications, upon which bids may be asked and the work constructed as suggested by the ditch committee. The ditch will run from East street west to Fairview, a distance of two and a quarter miles, but it will probably be a couple of weeks or more before the work begins. The loss in the present ditch is such that it takes four heads water at East street to get a single head down to Fairview. Messrs. Ward and Coombes of the Graves.com cementing firm appeared before the board in reference to the charge on non-fillment of contract in the cementing of the East-street ditch. It is charged that the cementing on one side of the ditch is not quite up to its requisite thickness being in places 2½ to 3¼ and in some places 3¾ inches in thickness instead of four inches. It is claimed by Messrs. Ward and Coombes that this irregularity was caused by the experience tampers. The matter was finally referred to the Ditch Committee with power to act, in conjunction with the engineer and attorney of the company. The continuation of the cementing of the South Branch ditch west from Browning corner to Brookshurst was discussed, the opinion of the board being that if a sufficient number of shares of stock be sold covering land in that neighborhood, the ditch would be cemented as suggested; but that until such time it would be good policy to allow the ditch to remain as it is. On motion, the cementing of the South Branch ditch was ordered to cease at Browning corner. Engineer Lum submitted plans of a cuear near Flume 7, where it is intended to straighten out the ditch from form of letter S to a straight line. The plan was adopted, and the same filed. The committee on lumber was continued to interview Mr. McFadden of Santa Ana regarding bonds and lumber. The Superintendent had no report made, but said a break occurred in their upper ditch at the point where the Santa Fe track crosses the ditch near Horseback Bend. The break was occasioned by a squirrel hole. At this point there are about 700 repair the bridges referred to and charge the expense to the water company. The Ordinance Committee submitted Ordinance No. 98, which relates to the closing of the plaza at the intersection of Center and Palm streets, which was donated to the city by Mr. Langenberger in 1869. The ordinance also relates to the closing of certain streets on the plaza site, and further provides for the reversion of the land to acreage property. The ordinance will be passed at the next regular meeting of the board. The incidental expenses for reverting the land to acreage property will amount to $30, and the Clerk was instructed to write Mr. Garnsey of Los Angeles, who owns the property, to deposit that amount in bank here. Bids for a city map were received as follows: S. E. Keiffer will make a map on a scale of 100 feet to an inch, 7x9 feet, showing everything except lot subdivisions, and containing all the data available of the present water system, together with the water company’s ditches, if so desired, for $60. If subdivision of lots are to be shown the cost will be $75. Any additions made to the pipe system in future will be placed upon the map free of charge. A. Broegrer agreed to furnish a 7x9 map containing all blocks and streets, etc., but no subdivision of lots, for $50. A misunderstanding existed between the bidders as to the embodying of ditches and lots upon the proposed map, and it was decided to ask for new bids. Mr. L. Goldwater appeared before the board in behalf of a company which is desirous of putting in an electric light plant. Three or four are lights would give as much light as the thirty-nine lanterns we now have, and the cost of each light would be about $10 per month. The electricity furnished to operate the plant could be used for various other enterprises, as doing pumping at the water works, and would be a decided improvement to our city. The lanterns used at present for lighting the city are barely worth keeping in repair, and in this prosperous era we ought to adopt more modern improvements. Towns throughout the State are putting in electric light plants and there is no reason why we should not keep up with the procession. The matter was left to the Committee on Public Improvements, which will act in conjunction with Mr. Goldwater and the plant will be put in if possible. They will report at the next meeting of the board. Messrs Rumpan, Cahen and Federman addressed the board in regard to securing a reduction in their licenses. The gentlemen now pay $5 per month, and a license of $2.50 was thought to be a sufficient monthly rate to carry on their business. The license ordinance provides that all stores doing a monthly business of not less than $2,000 nor more than $5,000, must be charged $5 per month, and the $2.50 rates apply to those whose monthly sales amount to not less than $500 nor more than $2,000. Mr. Federman here suggested that the saillon license be raised, but Trustee Conrad objected, and while the other Trustees joined in the discussion, no action was taken. It may come up later. The matter of reducing the dry goods license was referred to the Ordinance Committee, which will report at the next meeting of the board. The Special Pump Committee reported that they are negotiating with a Cincinnati firm for a new pump, and will have word by the next meeting whether or not the same can be purchased. The committee was granted further time. The bond of J. B. Pierce as Recorder with E. D. Marrion and John Pfeninger as sureties in the penal sum of $500 each was received. Owing to a mistake in the bond, the same was referred back to the Recorder for correction. MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAMME FOR THE OBSERVANCE OF THE DAY AND DECORATION OF GRAVES NEXT WEDNESDAY. Memorial Day will be observed by Malvern Hill Post, G. A. R., and citizens of this community generally in the usual time-honored fashion next Wednesday afternoon. There will be a parade of the Post, which will arrive from Fullerton, headed by the Fullerton brass band, at half-past two, at which time Company G, Saventh Regiment, N. G.'C., will fall in and act as escort from the city to the cemetery. An effort is being made to have the various business houses declare a half holiday for the afternoon, and also to have the different lodges appoint committees to decorate the graves of their departed members while the soldiers’ graves are being strewed with flowers. The following circular from Malvern Hill Post gives the official programme: HEADQUARTERS MALVERN HILL POST, NO. 131, DEPARTMENT OF CALIFORNIA, G.A. R. FULLERTON, Cal., May 23, 1893.

CORONA-AGUILLAIR-At Santa Ana, Friday, May 18th, 1894, by His Honor Judge Freeman Ramon N. Corona, aged 25, to Senorita Romanita Aguilla, 20, both of this city. Persons who sympathize with the afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr of 1235 Harrison street, Kansas City. He is an old sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism, but has not heretofore been troubled in this climate. Last winter he went up into Wisconsin, and in consequence has had another attack. “It came upon me again very acute and severe,” he said. “My joints swelled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain’s Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my agreeable surprise it did both. I have until such time it would be good policy to allow the ditch to remain as it is. On most occasions it is intended to straighten out the ditch from the form of letter S to a straight line. The plan was adopted, and the same filed. The committee on lumber was continued to interview Mr. McFadden of Santa Ana regarding bounds and lumber. The Superintendent had no report made, but said a break had occurred in the upper ditch at the point where the Santa Fe track crosses the ditch near Horsehorse Bend. The break was occasioned by a squirrel hole. At this point there are about 70 feet of gravelly strata, and there is a constant loss of 150 inches of water while passing over the place. The ditch caved last year and delayed trains for some time, and all engineers are cautioned to run slowly over it. It was suggested that a conference be held with the railroad company to change its aspect of affairs. The President was instructed to interview the railroad Roadmaster and agree on a course mutually satisfactory to both parties. Mr Spencer brought up the matter of the gate at Cheeseman’s store, and stated that the irrigators in that neighborhood are subjected to considerable annoyance on account of boys meddling with the gates They wanted a new gate put in at the ditch some distance north of the store, and Mr Kelly appeared for them in support of the same. The board decided that only way in which a new gate could be put in was for the irrigators themselves to pay for it; that it would be establishing a dangerous precursor for the company to pay for the work insamuch as they would probably be swamped with petitions for gates from all over the district. The matter was finally referred to the Superintendent with power to act. Hugo Wetzel appeared before the board in conjunction with Henry Hetebrink, and stated that the irrigators in his section are being discriminated against in the schedule of water rates adopted by the company. The price this month is sixty cents, and the supply begins at the lower end of the ditch, and irrigators are gradually supplied until run reaches those at head of the ditch. Mr Wetzel held that by reason on large demand for water, the zanjero would not reach him on this run before the first of next month, when an advance to eighty cents in rates goes into effect. He may able to get water this month in time for sixty cent rate, but certainly not next month nor the month after; and this break in the ditch made it problematical whether he could get water this month. The irrigators to north are therefore being discriminated against in the rules fixing the rates by the month, and he held the price should be the same all over the district per run, so that one stockholder shall have water at same price as others. Mr Amerige said that the rule works both ways. When the price of water is declined and the upper irrigators are not served until after following month, they have benefited of the reduced rate going into effect that month. Mr Wetzel replied that when the price of water was lowering there was evidently no demand for it, but when it was rising it was different, and his neighbors wanted to be put on an even plane with other stockholders. No action was taken, and Mr Wetzel stepped back to confer with Mr Hetebrink, and the board passed to the consideration of the engineer’s plans of the proposed new cut at Flume 7, when former gentleman stepped up and asked he board if they had voted upon his proposition to change the water rates from the present fluctuating monthly scale, to the old manner of fixing the price per run. The Chairman—No, sir; no action has been taken. The rates remain as they were... The matter of reducing the dry goods license was referred to the Ordinance Committee, which will report at the next meeting of the board. The Special Pump Committee reported that they are negotiating with a Cincinnati firm for a new pump, and will have word by the next meeting whether or not the same can be purchased. The committee was granted further time. The bond of J. B. Pierce as Recorder with E. D. Marrion and John Pfinger as sureties in the penal sum of $500 each was received. Owing to a mistake in the bond, the same was referred back to the Recorder for correction. A letter from J. H. Claubaugh, agent of the Santa Fe, was received, asking for a bill for water furnished the packing and section houses on their property, and asking to have the same made as reasonable as possible, as they now pay for the water used at three different places on the property. There are nine people living at the section house, and the rate for that number was put at $2 per month, the packing house rate also coming to $2. All these have been using water for nearly two months, and the Marshal was instructed to present a bill for the same. The Finance Committee reported having purchased 300 feet of 4 inch steel riveted pipe at 16 cents per foot f.o.b. Los Angeles, to be laid to the new residences on East Broadway, from the Los Angeles street main. A fire hydrant will be placed at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets as soon as the hydrant can be shipped here from the East. The new inch-pipe line to be laid to Fred Crist's new dwelling on Broadway will be extended from the Olive-street terminus, a distance of 291 feet, as the distance from the Broadway main to the dwelling, from which point he requested the pipe to be laid, would be $830 feet, thereby necessitating too great an expense. Trustee Lewis asked for a reduction in the water rate for livery stables. He pays $7 per month and considers it too high, and as the water work's receipts are now greater than the expenditures, he thought the rate could be conveniently shaved down all around. The water ordinance needs revision. There are a number of parties using a great deal more water on lawns and gardens than they pay for, while others are overcharged. The matter was laid over until the next meeting, when the ordinance will be revised, or meters will be put in for the larger water users. The Clerk was instructed to notify property owners to keep the streets clean in front of their property, in the failure to do which the city will do the work and charge the cost of the same to the delinquents' next assessment list. Everybody clean the streets! Gus Davis wrote asking for a reduction in his license. He pays $25 per month and thinks the rate is too high. Referred back to him, with the request that he file an affidavit stating that he does not do enough business to warrant the payment of the $250 rate. Adjourned. HARRY BLAKE'S OFFENSE. A young man named Harry Blake, hailing from the classic shades of Tustin, was fined $10 by Recorder Pierce on Monday for CORONA-AGUILAR-At Santa Ana, Friday, May 18th, 1894, by His Honor Judge Freeman, Ramon N. Corona, aged 25, to Senorita Romanita Agullar, 20th, both of this city. Persons who sympathize with the afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr of 1235 Harrison street, Kansas City. He is an old sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism, but has not heretofore been troubled in this climate. Last winter he went up into Wisconsin, and in consequence has had another attack. "It came upon me again very acute and severe," he said. "My joints swelled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and case the pain, and to my agreeable surprise, it did both. I have used three fifty-cent bottles and believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swellings extant." For sale by J. Reid.

A heavy attachment was levied by the Sheriff upon the property of Mathew Gage of Riverside Saturday. The action was brought by the Pacific Bank of San Francisco to recover a loan of $90,000, and is levied upon Gage's home place of seven and one-half acres at Riverside, the 178 inches of water in the Gage canal, which he reserved at the time that property was conveyed to the Riverside Trust Company, and his interest in the same company. Mr. Wetzel replied that when the price of water was lowering there was evident no demand for it, but when it was rising it was different, and his neighbors wanted to be put on an even plane with the other stockholders. No action was taken, and Mr. Wetzel stepped back to confer with Mr. Hetebrink, and the board passed to the consideration of the engineer's plans of the proposed new cut at Flume 7, when the former gentleman stepped up and asked the board if they had voted upon his proposition to change the water rates from the present fluctuating monthly scale, to the old manner of fixing the price per run. The Chairman—No, sir; no action has been taken. The rates remain as they were. Mr. Wetzel—Will some one please make a motion, to see how the board stands on this question? The Chairman (rapping him to order)—This board is abundantly able to take care of itself, sir; it wishes no interference from outside parties. Mr. Wetzel and Mr. Hetebrink withdrew; the water schedule remained as it was, and we board adjourned. CHURCH NOTICES. Presbyterian Church—Rev. T. Beaizley pastor.

WATER BOARD TOTZEL CLAIMS TO BE DISCIMINATED IN THE SCALE WATER PRICES. The board met in regular session on afternoon; present Directors Amerige, Nebelung, Spencer and McFadden and Botsford. Coer of the ditch committee re-commending Santa Ana street down's east line, thence west to the intersection of the old ditch running south. The was instructed to make a sur-route, and draw up plans and maps upon which bids may be the work constructed as suggested by the committee. The ditch will run street west to Fairview, a dis-cover a quarter miles, but it will be coupled of weeks or more before begins. The loss in the pres-sence that it takes four heads of East street to get a single head view. Ward and Coombes of the Gray housing firm appeared before the reference to the charge of contract in the cement-East-street ditch. It is charged menting on one side of the ditch up to the requisite thickness, faces 2½ to 3¼ and in some places thickness instead of four inches. By Messrs. Ward and Coombes regularity was caused by the im-protamers. The matter was finally the Ditch Committee with power conjunction with the engineer and the company. Nationation of the commenting of the ditch ditch west from Browning's Brookshurst was discussed, the board being that if a sufficient shares of stock be sold covering in that neighborhood, the ditchemented as suggested; but that it would be good policy to ditch to remain as it is. On momenting of the South Branch ditch to cease at Browning's corner, Lum submitted plans of a cut to 7, where it is intended to do the ditch from the form of a straight line. The plan was laid the same filed. Coiner on lumber was continued, Mr. McFadden of Santa Ana woods and lumber.

Knowlton & Fox, the painters, are painting and varnishing Prof. Frantz's barber pole in white; gilt and black, and when it is placed in position this morning our readers will entirely agree with us that it is in every way a gorgeous creation.

The trust deed of the beet company to the Security Company of Hartford, Conn., which Mr. Glen represented on his recent visit to Anaheim, has been placed on record, mortgageing 3,000 acres of land hereabouts for $400,000 to be used in the erection of the sugar refinery. Louisa Burrows has begun suit for divorce from her husband Stephen Burrows. The couple live west of town, and are members of the Seventh Adventist faith.

It is reported that Keller, who conducts "Half-way House" near Fullerton, intends to move the building a quarter of a mile this way on the Fullerton road, which is the eastern limit of that precinct, and apply for a license in this precinct. The petition should not be granted. As we go to press we learn that Stern & Goodman, the enterprising Fullerton merchants, have bought out Cahen's grocery establishment, and will take charge of the same about middle of June. The advent of these rustling business men will be hailed with delight by the people of this city. W. A. Rugg, recently from Los Angeles, has leased the old Journal outfit from Grandpa Holverson, and has started a seven-column folio weekly newspaper called The Independent, of Populist tendencies and well defined Prohibition ideas. Mr. Rugg has chosen a veritable Garden of Eden to settle in, and we hope his paper will fill a "long felt waut," and his coffers be tilled with dollars overflowing. Mr. C. G. Rogers of Iowa, brother of Mr. M. L. Rogers of this city, who has been on a visit here with his wife and daughter for some weeks past, took his departure yesterday for San Francisco where he will visit the Fair. They are all very much impressed with the delightful climate and the resources of California, and probably some day will become permanent residents of Anaheim. Property owners on Los Angeles street are moving to have cement sidewalks laid on that thoroughfare from Center street to Sycamore, and as soon as all the deeds to the walks are secured the work of improvement will begin. The house at the corner of Los Angeles and Cypress streets has been back to make room for the sidewalk. The sidewalks are now for the most part an abomination, and the property owners show their good sense in going in for improvements. A man from the country jogged into town Monday afternoon at about 4 o'clock, and turning the corner at Federman's store, the king bolt of his vehicle dropped to the ground and the man came down in the street, the horse continuing along towards the Mr. L. H. Padgham, the jeweler, announces that owing to his continued ill-health he has decided to dispose of his entire stock of watches, jewery and silver plated ware at auction, the sale to begin this afternoon at 2 o'clock at Pellegrin's old stand. The stock embraces a fine collection of Roger's knives, forks, spoons, souvenir spoons, Elgin, Wal-tham and Rockford watches, in gold filled and silver cases, and all kinds of novels. The sale will continue every day at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and 7 in the evening until the entire stock is closed out. Here is an excellent opportunity for our people to purchase a fine line of goods at cheap rates. Santa Ana is still wrestling with the liquor question, and at last meeting of the City Trustees an ordinance was introduced which if passed would result in closing up the saloons as by a prohibitive act. The ordinance provided that a penalty of $50 be placed upon the selling or giving away of liquor without a license. It provided further that a bond be required of every saloon keeper in the amount of $5,000, and to exact from saloons a license of $1,000 per year for license; there are to be no chairs, no tables, no screens and no back rooms, and the saloons must close at 10 and not open up for the cocktail route earlier than 5 o'clock in the morning. Fortunately for the saloon men the ordinance was defeated, 3 to 2 Rather a close call. From our friend E. O. Gerberding of the Hueneme Herald we have received a neat brochure entitled "What Congress Has Done." In a note accompanying the same Mr. Gerberding tells us the work, as we can read imagine, caused him a vast amount of research as well as the expenditure of a vast amount of time. We had settled back and had prepared for a literary treat—knowing Br. Gerberding's capacity for a learned disquisition on the subject—when on opening book we found it to contain—nothing simply blank pages, that is all. The work is an epic. Frank Steadman's name has been mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination for Sheriff. While Frank has made no effort in that direction, there is no doubt that he could secure abundant recognition in the convention, as he could probably get a solid delegation from this side of the river, and stand an excellent chance for the nomination. If the politicians in the camp of our friends she enemy do not preserve this important office for Santa Ana—or in other words if Theo. Lucy does not knock the persimmon himself—Frank should be on inside track for the nomination, and once on the ticket he would run like a "scart woll," or better. He is a good man in every way, and will do to keep an eye on. A meeting was held at the City Hall last Thursday evening by several citizens for the purpose of organizing a company to construct and maintain a race course near this city. The meeting adjourned, however, without accomplishing anything, not enough interest being taken in the matter to warrant his dog "Elko," which has accompanied his trips across the country several times in the East, and has been considerable time, although he is in covered and looking as hale and ever. He will probably settle down for business, in which he achieved an ingenuished success while with us year. He was not in California long before to Anaheim with his wife and child; old acquaintances. He hope to see town often again.

A man from the country jogged into town Monday afternoon at about 4 o'clock, and turning the corner at Federman's store, the king bolt of his vehicle dropped to the ground and the man came down in the street, the horse continuing along towards the opera house with the shafts and the front wheels as if nothing had happened. At the corner of Olive street the horse was caught by some boys and returned to its owner, who put the buggy together, got aboard and joged out of town again. The Southern California Railway (Santa Fe route) is selling reduced rate tickets to Echo Mountain and Rubio Canyon, on the Mount Lowe railway, by way of Raymond and the Terminal line, and issues transportation either for the canyon or Wilson's Peak. This is one of the most interesting scenic routes in the country, and is just the place for a Sunday's outing. Echo Mountain and Rubio Canyon are reached by the Mount Lowe railway, and parties wishing to go to Wilson Peak may travel burro-back some distance further on. The Santa Fe is also selling reduced fares to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado for the summer. Mrs. J. W. Towner, wife of the Superior Judge of Orange county, died after a brief illness at the family residence at Santa Ana last Saturday afternoon. She had been in failing health for some time, having never fully recovered from the effects of a runaway accident of some weeks age, when the vehicle in which she and the Judge were riding was run into and upset by a runaway team. She was quite severely shaken up and injured at the time and it was impossible for her to recover. The funeral occurred on Monday, when the remains were taken to Los Angeles for cremation. Deceased was aged 65 years. The Judge has the sincere commiseration of the entire community in his bereavement. The Orange County Sunday School Association will hold its eleventh semi-annual convention at Reiser's Opera-house on Saturday, June 9th. All Sunday Schools in Orange county are requested to send delegates to the convention. Dr. J. D. Moody, of Los Angeles, superintendent of normal work, Southern California State S. S. Association, will give an address on "Normal Work in the Sunday School," followed by a thirty minutes' conference. A primary class exercise conducted by Miss Elsie Aubert, will precede the discussion of this important department of Sunday school work. The home department will be explained by its originator, the Rev. Theophilus Beaizley. Music by W. Frank Harris and orchestra. It is understood the Fullerton saloons are still in full blast, and have raised a nomination. If the politicians in the camp of our friends the enemy do not preserve this important office for Santa Ana—or in other words if Theo. Lucy does not knock the persimmon himself—Frank should be on the inside track for the nomination, and once on the ticket he would run like a "scart wolf," or better. He is a good man in every way, and will do to keep an eye on. A meeting was held at the City Hall last Thursday evening by several citizens for the purpose of organizing a company to construct and maintain a race course near this city. The meeting adjourned, however, without accompliabing anything, not enough interest being taken in the matter to warrant immediate organization. It was determined to circulate a subscription list among the citizens who take an interest in the project, and it is possible that enough money will be subscribed to start operations. It is suggested that the Deutsch 20-acre lot may be secured and laid out in a half mile track and the inside to be used for a park and baseball grounds. The expense of putting the place in shape will cost about $400, and there will be a monthly expense account of about $35 besides the annual rental of the ground, which will amount to $100. The enterprise is a good one and quite a number of our citizens are using their best efforts to add this feature to the attractions of our city. Mr. L. Hache came over from Chino on Monday and remained until Tuesday afternoon. He is still somewhat indisposed from the effects of the accident in which Mr. Hamilton lost his life, and walks with a well defined limp. He informs us that while driving on the day of the accident they had come to a turn in the road, when Mr. Hamilton fired at a bird flying overhead. The horse bolted down the road precipitating them both to the ground, injuring Mr. Hamilton so that he expired following Thursday. Mr. Hache was himself severely injured and was confined to his room for a couple of weeks. He finds the beets here looking well where they acquired a stand, and is of the opinion that we shall have two thousand acres of first-class beets. He finds, however, that some of the farmers have allowed their beets to grow up in places not more than three inches apart, when his instructions have been to thin them out eight to ten and in places twelve inches apart. If the farmers decide to make a success of best culture they should follow directions scrupulously. Mr. Hache will be with us again next Monday, and he expects to remain during the entire week.

"Elko" is a valuable dog, and it is useful if his master would sell him for a man, especially during this dry weather. Holman's many friends here wish him a trip and a speedy return. We were greatly surprised as well as gratified the other day at seeing George Lombard kick into the office, looking as well as ever; urge has been absent for three or four days in the East, and has been ill for a considerable time, although he is again reared and looking as bale and hearty as he will probably settle down in California permanently, and go into the fruit NEW ADVERTISING.
