HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK Attempt to Blow Up the Menzel Residence. A Can of Powder Exploded at the Front Door at Midnight, Shatters the Premises—"Wild Bill" Arrested, but Judge Pierce Discharges Him—Pansy Wedding—Water Board Meets—Correspondence—The Week's Transfers of Renity. At about half past 12 o'clock last Friday night a terrific powder explosion occurred at the Menzel residence near the Southern Pacific depot, which resulted in blowing in and shattering the front door and splintering the sash and floor where the powder had been ignited. Mrs. Menzel and her two sons were in bed, the lady being in the front room and one of the boys in the rear room, while the other slept in the barn. The explosion shook the house and the commotion, coupled with the great noise as of a bursting bomb, and the falling door and splinters, awakened the inmates. Splintered bits of wood were scattered over the front room, and bits of tin, in which the powder was placed before the explosion, penetrated the paper on the walls and ceiling. That there was no loss of life seems to be providential, as Mrs. Menzel was in bed not ten feet away and large pieces of splintered wood flew about her. A large splinter flow through one of her shoes lying on the floor near the bed, cutting it as by a knife thrust. The boys ran out of the house through the front door, which fell inward with a crash, and in the bright moonlight could detect a man walking over the railroad track some distance west of the house. They could hear him walking on the ties, but in their excited condition could not recognize him in his rapid retreat. Somewhat dazed at the explosion and fearing the desperate character of the man who had attempted to blow their house up, they refrained from following him, and waited until daylight before giving the alarm. At 5 o'clock Marshal Steadman and August Menzel started to trace the fiend, and an hour or so later came upon the camp of "Wild Bill of Texas," otherwise known as "Black Bart," near Ernest Browning's place, having tracked him to his tent, and he was arrested and charged with the crime. "Wild Bill" was cooking his breakfast at the time, but came into town with the Marshal. The powder which caused the explosion had been placed in an oyster can and had been tamped down with cement and a fuse applied. The noise of the explosion awoke the entire neighborhood. "Wild Bill" had had an alteration with the two Menzel boys, and on Friday evening at the Southern Pacific depot, while under the influence of liquor he set off Carl Man now command a substantial premium, particularly those of the larger denominations. They have become so scarce that the collectors who failed to obtain full sets when they were first issued must now go to the dealers and pay big prices for them. They have been withdrawn from sale at the post offices, and for some time none could be obtained at the post offices in the East. It was supposed at first the supply was unlimited, but some sharp dealers obtained information that the furnishing of this issue would be stopped on January 1 and they immediately proceeded to supply themselves with full sets of the stamps so that when the public announcement of the stoppage of the issue was made they had supplied themselves and in this manner the corner was created. The supplies remaining in the larger offices were immediately purchased and withdrawn from use. Those in the smaller offices were sent to the Postoffice Department and there was immediately such a demand there for full sets of stamps that the department refused to sell more than one set to any one person. This was about the middle of April. Before the end of the month no complete set could be obtained at the office. The $1 issue was completely exhausted. Large premiums are now demanded by those dealers who succeeded in laying in a stock. This state of affairs has been made known to the Postmaster-General, and he has been requested to make an investigation to discover how the information was obtained which enabled dealers to corner the market. The Postoffice Department will also be requested to make a supplemental issue of these stamps to break the corner. An issue of 10,000 one-dollar stamps would do this. There is a precedent for this request. When a firm cornered all the four-cent and five-cent stamped envelopes of a certain issue and demanded $5 for a single envelope such a request was made, and the government printed 10,000 of these scarce issues.

The water board spent most of the time their Saturday's meeting in considering their payments due to Gray Bros., for cementing the South Branch ditch, and docked there $225 for non-fallillment of contract on the East-street ditch. The matter of their bonds to be issued by the company also came in for a share of consideration, and resolution were adopted concerning the amount to be issued and the length of time they were run. It had been reported on the street that a resolution ousting Superintendent Sheppard would be introduced, and probably passed; but Mr. Bottsford, who was presided over for the first time since his return from the East, held the board level and the anticipation fun was not forthcoming. All the board were present except Mr. Ryan. Mr. Amarige reported that he had gone over the South Branch ditch a number of times, and found the same to be all right except in the matter of back filling in place. Mr. Groot remarked that while the back filling is not what it should be in one or two places, still that could be very easily re-edited, and that on whole the work on the ditch was up to the contract requirements if every particular, the specifications having been very loosely drawn. The cement work is done in first-class style. Mr. Crowther reported that he had met the railroad engineer at Horace Shoe Bend relative to making necessary alterations in the ditch and track at that point, and that this railroad would co-operate with the company in making changes. The Ditch Committee reported that this ditch at E. Brownning's corner should be cemented, the same being the continuation of the South Branch ditch, and a contract was ordered drawn with Gray Bros., for camming the canal 2,230 feet west from Brownning's corner at the same price fixed for the South Branch ditch, work not begun until deeds for right of way are secured. Mr. Keith made a proposition to assist in putting in a cement ditch for a distance of sixty feet at his place on the corner of North and West streets, which is in a condition necessitating repair, and offering to count bills for $15 for the work. The work will coat about $30, and Mr. Keith's proposition was accepted. The improvements to be made at Flume 7 by replacing the structure with a cut and fill, were discussed, and Engineer Lum was instructed to ascertain formation of the land at the cut, that the board may act upon the same intelligently. The Superintendent reported that he had seen Mr. Sponable in reference to a ditch run on the east of his place, and that that gentleman had reported he would not face such company's transfer at that place unless and waited until daylight before giving the alarm. At 5 o'clock Marshal Steadman and August Menzel started to trace the fiend, and an hour or so later came upon the camp of "Wild Bill of Texas," otherwise known as "Black Bart," near Ernest Brown's place, having tracked him to his tent, and he was arrested and charged with the crime. "Wild Bill" was cooking his breakfast at the time, but came into town with the Marshal. The powder which caused the explosion had been placed in an oyster can and had been tamped down with cement and a fuse applied. The noise of the explosion awoke the entire neighborhood. "Wild Bill" had had an altercation with the two Menzel boys, and on Friday evening at the Southern Pacific depot, while under the influence of liquor he set upon Carl Menzel, who picked up a rock and struck him a blow on the back of the head. Bill had struck August Menzel a vicious blow in the face with a rock at the blacksmith shop near the depot some days before. After being struck by Carl Bill was taken away, muttering threats, so August Menzel tells us, to blow up the boys with dynamite. When the explosion occurred the boys immediately suspected Bill, but knowing his desperate character, did not follow him on his retreat from their house. Will Bill was placed in jail until his examination before Judge Pierce in the afternoon, when District Attorney Scarborough appeared against him. Strange to say, the evidence was not considered strong enough to hold him, and he was discharged. PANSY WEDDING. LLOYD BAILEY AND MISS MARGARET TROWER HAPPILY WEDDED. At the residence of Rev. and Mrs. Irvin yesterday morning, Lloyd Bailey and Miss Margaret Trower were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. G. Cowan of the Methodist church, and none but the relatives of the high contracting parties were present. The bride looked beautiful in a gown of white silk and bridal veil, and she carried a bouquet of pansies. The parlor was decorated with pansies, and each one present had apasy bouquet. Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple were driven to the Santa Fe depot, where they were showered with congratulations of friends, and where they took the 9 o'clock train for Coronado, to spend a short honeymoon. The high contracting parties to this happy marriage are so well known in Anaheim that it is scarcely necessary for us to say a word in introduction of them to our readers. The groom is one of our best known young business men and counts his friends in scores upon all sides, while the bride is a lady whose charms of character have brought her admirers without number. The marriage is a peculiarly happy one, and THE GAZETTE joins their many friends in wishing them a long and prosperous as well as a joyous journey through life. PLACENTIA ITEMS.

Mr Keith made a proposition to assist in putting a cement ditch for a distance six feet at his place on the corner of North and West streets, which is in a condition necessitating repair, and offering to control bute $15 for the work. The work will coat about $30, and Mr Keith's proposition was accepted. The improvements to be made at Flume Lake by replacing the structure with a cut and fill, were discussed, and Engineer Lum was instructed to ascertain the formation of the land at the cut that the board may act upon the same intelligently. The Superintendent reported that he had seen Mr Sponable in reference to a ditch running on the east of his place, and that gentleman had reported he would not have company'additch at that place unless he could not help it. The ditch would furnish water to the Wilshire estate. The Superintendent reported further that Mr De Granges had informed him that if Mr Sponable refused to permit the ditch to run as mapped out, he (Des Granges) would shut off Sponable's amply through the ditch running by his place and which he put in himself. Mr Sponable replied that he would pay no attention to what he characterized as Mr Des Granges' "bluff." The matter was referred to the Ditch Committee. The Superintendent reported the water low in the river only，1300 inches coming into our ditch at the division gate This how ever，is quite good enough for this season on the year. Col.Northam's old check for $44，which was never cashed on account of the bank suspension，was brought up,and after discussion a new check in payment of the amount was made，and the Colonel will get his money. The Engineer was instructed to prepare a profile and specification for cementing a ditch of 300 inches capacity on the east of Section 19，从 main drain to Wagner' corner in Placeenta. The Finance Committee were instructed to investigate the alleged discrepancy between their company's books and Mr.Tuftree's account，to report at the next meeting. The division gate at McFadden's corner was reported to be leaking badly，and the Superintendent was instructed to put in a cement ditch at the first opportunity. Engineer Lum submitted profile of cement ditch on Sycamore street，for which bids are asked for in another column. Messrs.Ward and Coombes appeared before the board for the purpose of procuring estimates on their work on the South Branch ditch and also to that their docking on East street was made as light as possible After a length discussion，Mr.America moved that they be docked $250。Mr.Ward said that he had suggested that $150 would be about right，但 that he would agree to make it $200。 Mr.Spencer-Split the difference and make it $225。 This was agreed to，and as $462 was yet coming to them on the East street work $1,386 having been already paid them，an order for $237 in full payment for the work was ordered drawn.The estimates on the South Branch ditch were fixed at $8,$535.A colony arose between Messrs.Crowther and Ward as to the latter amount，when the former turned to the latter said，in sinuatingly: Crowther--Did you ever attend a revival meeting，young man? Ward (who is not the Christian Church revivalist，by the way)—Lord，yes；I ran one two years. Some laughter，and two notes，一one for $5,$000 another for $2,$900，were drawn in partial payment of the work. The board discussed the bond matter，fixing the amount at $150,000，bearing seven percent，and run five and ten years.Addionned to next Saturday morning at no o'clock。 PLACENTIA ITEMS.

Miss Meta Braren and her uncle Andrew Roorden leave on Monday for the lady's home in the province of Schleswig, Germany, where she will take up her residence with her family. Miss Braren was lately the wife of Nickels Roorden, her uncle, but her application for divorce on account of consanguinous marriage, which is now in court, will it is understood, be granted before her departure for her home. Miss Braren is a prepossessing young lady of refinement of character and retiring disposition, and is deeply grieved at the turn her matrimonial affairs have taken, as well as the publicity her divorce has given her, and has the cordial sympathy of all who know her in her misfortune. After leaving her husband, which she did some weeks ago, as soon as she learned of the illegality of her marriage, she undertook to learn stenography and type writing in Los Angeles, to the end that she might support herself; but in deference to the wishes of her family has consented to return to her home in the Fatherland.

Recently a friend in one of the upper counties sent us a twenty dollar check for the purchase of Columbian stamps to that amount, and since then we learn that a corner on these stamps is being arranged throughout the country, and we hope our friend will get rich.

The census shows there are 39,138 tenement houses in the twenty-four wards of this city, of which number 2,346 are rear houses. The population of the tenement-house district is 1,332-773 of which 180,369 are children less than five years of age. Rear houses contain no less than 56,130 persons, including 8,784 children under five years, who exist with little or no chance for sunlight or fresh air. Twelfth Ward is the most densely populated there being 252,331 persons packed in 7,702 houses, of which seventeen are rear tenements.

On board were spent most of the time of day's meeting in considering the induce the Gray Bros. for cementing the Branch ditch, and docked them non-fulfillment of contract on the ditch. The matter of the issue by the company also came up of consideration, and resolutions addressed concerning the amount to be paid for the length of time they were to be laid down been reported on the streets resolution ousting Superintendent would be introduced, and probably that Mr. Botsford, who was present at time since his return from the board level and the anticipated forthcoming.

Company G will hold its regular semi-annual State shoot at the range beyond Fullerton next Sunday. A new 1,000-yard range is being put in at that point. The Board of Directors of the sugar factory held an executive session at their office on Tuesday and discussed finances, the coming beet crop and other matters that claimed their attention. Secretary Rust of the orange growers' association gives notice in our advertising columns this morning to all those having claims against the association that they present the same for payment. The county exchange will have $1,600 to refund the growers from the sum collected for the season's expenses. Prof. Frantz wins the suit this week himself, his number (7) being the lucky one. He has already been measured for his Willie boy, and when he gets it on, intends to be as big a dude as Bill Berdrow. When is our turn coming at the suit, Professor? Marshal Steadman has a force of men cleaning the streets, and the thoroughfares present a cleaner appearance than for a long time past. The Marshal watches the men so that there may be no "soldiering," and the work of cleaning and repair is consequently being pushed along more rapidly than ever before. Among the list of graduates of the Los Angeles Business College, which held its commencement exercises last Thursday evening, borealis from Los Angeles, is here doing politics in a mild way for Wickham, who is out for member of the board of equalization in the Fourth district. Joe Brown is likewise in this light and George L. Arnold of Los Angeles, who has been making a still hunt for the office. Crank is slated for a winner by the knowing ones. James McLachlan of Pasadena, former District Attorney of Los Angeles county and well known in Anaheim, has been nominated for Congress in the Sixth District by the Republicans at Sacramento. John Barham, brother of Dick Barlaus, will probably be nominated for Congress in the First District. John is a hard shell Republican, and to judge from a conversation we had with Dick the other day, he was wavering on Cleveland, free trade and the Coxey movement himself. Uncle Hiram Hamilton was over from Orange yesterday, gathering statistics of the season's orange crop for submission in a report to the Supervisors. He tells us the crop in the county will aggregate upwards of 400 carloads, which at $300 per car, will bring $120,000. The apricot crop, which is now ripening, promises to bring in as much more, and the walnut crop will also add largely to this sum. Mr. Hamilton says he has not yet seen a single living scale of this season's output, but some of the old follows are preparing to hatch. A systematic course of fumigation will be applied throughout the county and an effort will be made to eradicate this enemy of the citrus industry entirely. With the Peat Land battery, Mallett and Mefford, in the points, the Anaheim boys walloped Santa Ana on the local grounds at baseball Sunday to the tune of 10 to 9. Otto Young's curves were straightened out in great shape, and Shorty Moabaugh at third, for the visitors, had to light a pipe to quiet his nerves during the bombardment.

Word comes from Santa Ana that the Scorcher, the alleged newspaper started two weeks ago by Sam Purcell, the champion trick bicyclist, who lost his watch while riding home from Los Angeles the other day on his wheel, had experienced loss of life through lack of patronage.

Misses French and Kernodle, two of the charming young ladies of Santa Ana, were over Tuesday making arrangements for the forthcoming Modjeska entertainment in Santa Ana next Wednesday evening, an advertisement of which appears elsewhere. If we know anything of the excellence of the entertainment, no less than the popularity of these two amiable young ladies here, we should say that the hall ought to be filled with an appreciative audience, a large percentage of which should be from Anaheim. In the mass of convention news from Sacramento and that preceding the gathering of the politicians at the State Convention, we have seen our friend Wickham's name in print but once, and that came late, he being announced as a "now candidate" for the State Board of Equalization just a day or two ago.

The Madame will be supported by Miss Maud Durbin and other artists in the presentation of the comedy, "The Fair Encounter." This will be followed by a musical program under the direction of Messrs. James S. Rice and George Abram Smith and the Thomas orchestra, and in which Miss Mabel Langenberger of this city takes part. The entertainment will conclude with a realistic exhibit of "Living Pictures," arranged by Madame Modjeska, after the celebrated designs by Dore, and which are now causing such an artistic furor in New York. The performance will very likely be largely attended, this being the only opportunity of seeing Modjeska before her departure for the other side. Many will probably attend from Anaheim, and we hear of several theater parties being arranged. Seats will be on sale at Reid's drugstore. The advertisement appears on the second page. Rev. Father Hickey, President of St. Vincent's College of Los Angeles, delivered an interesting sermon at the Catholic Church on Sunday morning to a congregation that filled the lately enlarged edifice to the doors. He took for his text, "The Sacrament of Confession," which was, he said, a manifestation of the interior, and was practiced by everybody even though not according to the rules established in the Catholic Church. Men and women confess by their actions or their faces, which are constantly giving a manifestation of their interior. No priest gives absolution for sins unless the confession be accompanied with contrition and sorrow and a promise given not to sin again. The discourse was learned and convincing, and was not without a touch of wit here and there that added a charm to the pastor's mode of oratory. At 3 o'clock Father Victor of Los Angeles spoke in German to another large congregation. Sixty children took their first communion service at 7 o'clock mass, and were present during Father Hickey's sermon. The day was one of the most important feast days of the church, and was attended, besides Fathers Hickey and Victor, by Fathers Llevano of Los Angeles and McCarthy of Riveraide. Father Caballeris, the pastor, was the celebrant. Notice. The party who recently took from the City Hall a red-back cloth-bound book entitled "Dr. Wood's Treatise on the Horse,' with Dr. G. H.
