HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK Charlie Wommer's Speculation in Coal. He Horrowed a Lot from the Trustees Which Was Never Returned, and Now He Will Have to Settle for It—Charley Is Out of Luck—Mr. Sharpe's Name Erased from the Electric Light Contract—How the Placentia Country Is Growing—Big Orange Crop—Christian Endeavor Column—Locent Brevitzc. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening, present Trustees Lewis, Conrad, McWilliams and Helmson. In the absence of Chairman Rust Trustee McWilliams acted in his stead. Marshal Steadman reported the collection of $307 61 for water and licenses. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance in the treasury of $3,919.77. The Committee on Public Improvements reported that they had graded a number of streets and have placed them in as good condition as possible under the circumstances. The committee also reported that the city team had recently been "mowed" and that several other minor matters had received their attention. Ordinance No. 105, relating to the issuance of municipal bonds, was passed. Also Ordinance No. 106, closing up certain streets in Vineyard lots D G and E G. The Clerk was instructed to notify Messrs. Garrosy and Rimpant, the owners, to deposit the sum of $60 in bank to defray the expenses of the reversion of the lots to acreage property. The committee appointed to select a site for the electric plant suggested that the plant be located on the site of the present water works, the power-house to be located on the northeast corner of the lot. Plans for the building will be submitted later on. Mr. Chas. Fedorov having refused to pay his monthly license to carry on his dry goods business, claiming it to be excessive, it was ordered that the City Attorney take the necessary steps to collect the same, should he fail to pay by the 15th instant. The Papillion Horse Co., being also delinquent in their license, they were subjected to the same order. Painter Nemetz asked for permission to build a stable on his premises on Center street, the same to be covered with corrugated iron. Granted. It appeared that last year during a scarcity of coal E. J. Pellegrin, who was then acting as Chairman Brevitzc. Fullerton C. E. met last Saturday to elect officers and transact other business. The following were elected to office for the ensuing six months, commencing Jan. I, 1895: C. E. Holcomb, President; J. H. McDermont, Vice President; Mrs. S. F. Daniels, Treasurer; Miss Florence Priest, Secretary. The action of the delegation at Santa Ana pledging $2 50 for the work for the convention for the ensuing year, and the purchase of a largest sized pledge-card to hang in the church was ratified by the society. Mrs. Starbuck, the Musses Grace McDermont, Clara Schultz, Messrs. J. H. McDermont, E. R. Ford and C. E. Holcomb from Fullerton, Miss Beaizley, Mr. and Mrs. Keiffer and Miss Jones from Anahoim, two ladies from Buena Park, and I believe good strong delegations from Westminster and Alamitos were present at the district convention at Santa Ana. We must all get acquainted through this column. Our subject for December 16th is, "Different ways of rejecting Christ." Actions speak louder than words. Don't let the world read by your actions that you are a Christless bible. Fullerton C. E. is progressing. A strong Junior Endeavor will be organized next Sunday at 3 P.M., with Mrs. Starbuck Superintendent and Miss McDermont Assistant. We have a new scheme. I believe in dividing the work of Superintendents of Junior work. The Senior society has 26 members on the active list, and 2 applications on December 9th makes 28. We had the pleasure of attending the Endeavor anniversary of the Anabeim Presbyterian C. E. last Friday night, and listened to an interesting address by the Rev. A.W. Rider of Los Angeles, the thought being discipline of the individual to meet the crisis in life and the benefit of organization in evangelizing the world. Rev. Beaizley gave a very interesting talk on "What are you going to do with the old folks? What use are they?" Scripture says, "Tell him, let not him that putteth on the harness boast himself, but he that putteth it off." The old folks' work is nearly done. They have accomplished much, yet there is much more to do. They have planted deep with words of wisdom and sown wide fields with golden grain of gospel truth, and it remains for the young people, Christian Endeavors, to reap the fields of ripened harvest. Without boasting we will say, that we young people propose to take the work up where it has been left for us by the old folks, carry on they have begun, perhaps sow in new fields now for junior endeavors to reap by and by. May God give us strength and wisdom to do our part as thoroughly in the future as has been done by the old folks in the past. We want to hear from every Endeavor society in the northern part of Orange PLACENTIA POINTER SEVENTY FAMILIES NOW WHERE OUR CORRESPONDENT COULD BUT ONE—the ORANGE GROUND Those who are living here do not know how the country is gradually filling up people, but our attention has been caught by an old resident who has absent some time and returning mostinctly noticed the many new house strange faces. We remember the time there was but one family in what is no boundary of Placentia school district. we can count seventy families and they still room for more. We do not think it is claiming too much to say that California there are seventy families, include the entire population of one last trait are more comfortable, contented, and prosperous than those who live in cents. There seems to be harvest here all times and seasons. From January July the orange crop, estimated this year be two hundred carloads, besides thirty forty carloads of cabbage. From June November the grain—barley, wheat and castor beans, raisins and wine grapes bring in money and are industries of fruit. The nut crop comes in later and averages about thirty carloads which will be many years, increase to one hundred loads each car bringing from $1,000 $1,400. The months of December and January are devoted to a general cleaning of the surplus and preparations begin for receiving the new crop. The wool industry and the hundred tons of broa or saphaltum that is hailing away from here annually is no small increase in revenue considerably. Several tons of turkeys were shipped Los Angeles for Thanksgiving. The Placentia orange growers, include those of Fullerton, have perfected a state local organization, embracing all of the LG groves and nearly all the small ones, capturing the Gilman place. The catalog number of cars now in the association is: F. Botsford, M. Benchley, A. McDermont Roas, C.W. Leffingwell, W.M. McFeadwain and Wm. Crowther. W.F. Botsford President, L.B. Benchley Vice-President. Mr. Essic Secretary. If a suitable package house cannot be rented the association would build one of its own. The Citizens' Bank Anabeim has been selected as custodian our money. Mr.C.Woodward is on the sick list. Mr.East has the frame of his cottage has graduated his roads, is grubbing out unsightly trees and otherwise improving a beavitifying home. Mr.Welton, who has been living on Olinda ranch, has moved to the Measner or Jonathan Kraemer place. The Grand Jurid did a wise thing in recording grading done on the road leading to the upper bridge between Placentia and Olinda ranch. For years an effort has been made water works, the power-house to be located on the northeast corner of the lot. Plans for the building will be submitted later on. Mr. Chas. Federman having refused to pay his monthly license to carry on his dry goods business, claiming it to be excessive, it was ordered that the City Attorney take the necessary steps to collect the same, should he fail to pay by the 15th instant. The Papillian Horse Co. being also delinquent in their license, they were subjected to the same order. Painter Nemetz asked for permission to build a stable on his premises On Center street, the same to be covered with corrugated iron. Granted. It appeared that last year during scarcity of coal E. J. Pellegrin, who was then acting as Chairman of the Finance Committee, gave Wommer & Halpin, who were then in the coal business, the privilege of borrowing coal from the city, the same to be returned, as the order read, "when the borrowers received a lot from the railroad company;" but as the firm has never received "the lot" the same has not as yet been returned. About five and a quarter tons were borrowed, and the city is now in a quandary as to the manner of getting it back, since the firm have gone out of business. The matter was left to the Finance Committee, who will take it out of Charlie Wommer's wages. The matter of raising Lemon street, between Chartres and Center, in order to drain off rain water, was left to the Committee on Public Improvements. At present a large pond of water gathers in the depression at that point during the rains and the citizens have asked that the matter be remedied. The contract between the city and Griffes & Sumner of Los Angeles pertaining to the construction of the electric light plant, was read. The name of E. C. Sharpe appears as the electrical engineer, but as he has not been employed by the city in that capacity, it was ordered that his name be erased. An engineer will be selected at some future time. As the contract has already been signed by Mosser, Griffes & Sumner, and who have furnished their bondmen—James A. Griffes and Fred Baker of Los Angeles—the question arose whether the bondmen would consent to the erasure of Mr. Sharpe's name. The Clerk was instructed to write the parties concerning the erasure. If objection be made, a new contract will have to be drawn or new sureties provided. Bills to the amount of $355 71 were audited and ordered paid. The board adjourned to Friday evening and decided to push the matter of laying the cement walks on Los Angeles street. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR COLUMN. [Address all communications to or correspondence for this column to C. E. Holcomb, Fullerton, Cal.] INTRODUCTION. For some time past the writer has been troubled by this thought: Here are a number of Christian Endeavor and other societies for young Christians in the northern part of Orange county. We are all striving to do our Master's will, working to the best of our ability in our own individual society. We are not acquainted with fellow members of neighboring societies. We do not know what they are doing nor how they are doing it. A union is out of the question, because we are so far apart. The only way that the writer could see that this fellowship and organization could be brought about would be by securing space in a good newspaper with a wide circulation throughout this section. The editor of THE GAZETTE have in the very kindest manner possible placed this space at our disposal. We must use it by German Lutheran service next Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Episcopal church by Rev. J. Kogler. GEO. GARLICH ACQUITTED. —George Garlich's second trial on a charge of disturbing Herr Binder's peace and quiet up in the classic precincts of Soquel canyon a week ago came up for hearing before "Squire We want to hear from every Endeaver society in the northern part of Orange county by the next issue of this paper. In this connection Y. P. S. C. E. means You people send communications early. Let us fill this column with crisp, fresh local C. E. news. Church Notices. Presbyterian Church—Rev. T. Beazley, pastor. Services for the week beginning Sunday, Dec. 16. 9:45 A.M., Sunday school. 11:00 A.M., morning service. Subject—"Gideon and the three hundred." 3 p.m., Junior Society society. 4:00 p.m., Y.P.S.C.E. People: "Different ways of rejecting Christ." Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., Mid-week prayer meeting. Friday, 8 p.m., Bible class at pastor's residence. The "Jewish cities of refuge" formed the subject of discourse at the Presbyterian church last Sunday evening. The pastor, Rev. T. Beazley, gave the first of ten lectures. The discourse was suggested by Joshua, 20 c.. From a very early age human life has been held sacred. There has long been an unwritten code of blood revenge. It has been found in many countries. This unwritten code antedated Moses, who recognized its foundation in justice, and instead of suppressing it, undertook to regulate it. In doing this he provided protection for the unintentional murder and insured a fair trial for one who set purpose took human life. The cities of refuge were of divine appointment. Their appointment suggests the sacredness of human life—the sacredness of innocence, and they teach that divine revelation, not human passion, is to be the guide of life. Such a plan cannot be attributed to human philanthropy. Philanthropy is not its own creator. Mercy is divine. A clear distinction is to be made between justice and revenge and between revenge and avenge. Avenge may be a human act in behalf of the oppressed. Revenge is a base.Justice is noble and pure.Vengeance is corrupt.Justice will practice self-denial to give fair play to all.Vengeance will practice self-denial to hurt another.Sometimes we hear "revenge is sweet." Ask to whom, or to what noble sentiment, power or taste? Revenge may be sweet to an Indian, but to an intelligent, well-balanced man will it be so? The practice of so many citizens carrying arms is worth attention.Is the practice a threat,a challenge or a defiance? Does it betoken a high grade of civilization or else opposite? Cities of refuge were found only in the promised land. There have been so-called sanctuaries in many countries,但 can a true sylum—the right of sanctuary and protection be found among any people who ignore God? The cities of refuge were not in one tribe only.No one people can monopolize God's provisions.Here were found only in connection with the priesthood.With the priesthood comes the idea of atonement.The idea runs through all God's plans for human welfare. German Lutheran service next Sunday at 2 p.m.在 Episcopal church by Rev. J. Kogler. BUENA PARK. There is to be a social at the hotel Friday evening and everybody expects to go and have a good time.Theses are the places where old-time friends go to have a social chat. Mr.B.F.Pritchard had a raffle last week for a hammerless Ithaca gun.Dick Vanhysen was the winner,and he has had several offers for his prize but none yet came up to its value. Miss Estelle Smith,who has been visiting Mrs.A.B.Badgerly since last spring,has returned to her home in Butler.Mo. Our esteemed fellow-citizen,Mr.Joseph Speidel, recently received news of the death of a beloved sister and the serious illness of his aged mother.Ho has the sympathy and condolence of his many friends in this community. Since the rain here farmers are rejoicing and our young merchants' faces are wreathed with amules. Miss Lucille Charter,从 La Harpo,Ill.,is at the Park House visiting her sister,Mrs.Sailor,and will remain during the winter. Mrs.Logan is visiting with Mrs.Pittlado. The Park House is receiving quite a number of guests,and travelers report it a pleasant place to stop at,both man and beast receiving the beat of attention. The change in the church services from morning to the afternoon has made some difference in attendance,但 after hearing one of Rev.Willett's sermons no one would remain away.The church congratulates itself on having secured one of the ablest speakers in Southern California. Sunday School is held every Sabbath at 1:30 p.m.;preaching at 2:30;Y.P.S.C.E.at 7:30;and Social Family Thursday evening at 7:30,taking up the subject of the international lessons. "Governor" Whitaker was over this week,and everyone was pleased to meet with him.Hotel life agrees with the Governor,and it is said Frank Whittaker takes on these tasks... ties for young Christians in the northern part of Orange county. We are all striving to do our Master's will, working to the best of our ability in our own individual society. We are not acquainted with fellow members of neighboring societies. We do not know what they are doing nor how they are doing it. A union is out of the question, because we are so far apart. The only way that the writer can see that this fellowship and organization could be brought about would be by securing space in a good newspaper with a wide circulation throughout this section. The editors of THE GAZETTE have in the very kindest manner possible placed this space at our disposal. We must use it by filling it full of interesting matter pertaining to our local work and make it as bright and lively as possible. We want every society in this part of the county, viz., Anabehue, Buena Park, Westminster, Alamitos, Olive, Fullerton, Garden Grove, and any other locality that has an active society, to elect a reporter, who will keep this editor supplied with information in regard to each society. We want to know the interest manifested in your meetings, the manner of conducting, now ideas in regard to committee work, if any special work is done, what is it, and how do you do it. We want to know how to be good citizens, and there are just lots of things that we all know a little about, and if each tells the little that she knows it will make a great deal in the aggregate. Let us all earnlessly strive to make this means a great benefit to us. The quickest, if not the best, way to start a thing, is to start it. Consequently without waiting to make a thorough organization before starting this column, the writer has taken the liberty to start it. Won't every C.E. society give him a boost? It is very easy for an endeavorer to pray for God to bring the unconverted into the church. How would it do to pray that God would send the endeavorer to the unconverted with an invitation to come to the church. It is personal work that counts. We are the Lord's messengers. Dr. Chapman said that every Christmas world's Bible is the world's eternal doom. The Word of God is the Christian's bible; the Christian is the world's bible. Do we as Christians study our bibles as carefully as the world studies therese? Are you a Christless world's bible? The judgment of the world is keen and merciless and I am afraid usually correct. You will notice that the pronoun "she" is used in place of the customary "he" in this column. Perhaps you would like to know the reason why. Did you ever stop to think which sex is doing the most work toward elevating humanity and bringing it nearer to the church? Do you know that the men are in the minority as church members? That they are in the minority in temperance, missionary and educational work? One man can get up and make more noise than a dozen women, but when it comes down to patient, persistent, tireless but effective Christian work it is nearly all done by the women. If this is so, and we all know that it is, isn't it small recognition to give her the courtesy of the pronoun? You should always remember that the true sageum—the right of sanctuary and protection be found among any people who ignore God? The cities of refuge were not in one tribe only. No one people can monopolize God's provisions. They were found only in connection with the priesthood. With the priesthood comes the idea of atonement. This idea runs through all God's plans for human welfare. German Lutheran service next Sunday at 2 p.m. In the Episcopal church by Rev. J. Kogler. GEO. GARLICH ACQUITTED. —George Garlich's second trial on a charge of disturbing Herr Binder's peace and quiet up in the classic precincts of Soquel canyon a week ago came up for hearing before Squire Pierce and a jury Saturday morning, and in less time than it takes to tell it he was acquitted. The jury deliberated upon whether they should charge Binder with disturbing the peace himself, but brought in no indictment. It was shown that George went up the canyon to mildly protest against Binder's cutting timber on a piece of land which he was negotiating to buy. Binder threatened to get his gun, called George names which no gentleman would permit to come out of his mouth and chased him off the place. When George came to town, greatly vexed at the turn of affaire, he found Binder had proceeded him and sworn out a warrant of arrest, charging him with disturbing the peace and quiet of the canyon. Binder charged him with threatening to burn down his bee houses, but he tells us he did nothing of the kind. The first trial occurred last Tuesday and resulted in 11 to 1 for conviction, and George informed us you could knock him down with a feather when he heard the verdict. But he came out of the second trial with flying colors, being promptly adjudged innocent of the charge, the action being plainly one of pure maliciousness. Probably if the evidence had all come out at the first trial he would have been acquitted then. Mr. E.W. Champlin was the juror in the first case who could not agree with his associates, and his view is thus fully borne out by the second jury. Mr. Garlicli will purchase the tract of land in question and will settle down and become a staid and proper member of society. To Night-Heiser's Opera House. The American Vaudeville Company which appears to night comes highly recommended. The Los Angeles Herald designated the company as the best organization of its kind that ever came to this part of the State. The San Diego Sun says it is the best company that ever appeared in that city. Among the company is the wonderful Arhno, premier hand balancer of the world, Herr Pranz Hell, the world's greatest fluegelhorn virtuoso, the famous Americus Comedy Quartette and Silveera and Emmery, the Australian marvels in their astonishing double ring performance, Miss Inez Dean, The California society neutralto, and Miss Emeril, the champion contortionist of the world. To conclude with the faree comedy, "The New Mule." A good hair brush is worth lots of hair tonics. You will find any kind of a brush you wish at Medical Hall. JESSON & DERGE, Props. The Anaheim Turn Verein will give an exhibition of turning, including horizontal and parallel bar exercises, fencing, pyramid etc., accompanied by a musical program, at Kroeger's Hall next Saturday evening. To conclude with a social hop. Admission 25 cents. Proceeds go to the Turner fund. An invitation to all. Christmas Goods. We have just received a large assortment of Christmas and New Year Goods. Call and inspect our stock and prices, which defy competition. JESSON & DERGE. Seeds of all kinds. Field and garden seeds fresh and pure at lowest cash prices by the Santa Ana Produce Co., 301 West 4th Street, Santa Ana, Calif. dec13-3w DANCING CLASSES. Miss Cora Lewis will give dancing lessons to her adult classes Tuesday and Saturday evenings; children's class Saturday afternoon. Private lessons at residence if desired. Surely none of our people need go to Los Angeles for books; stationery; toys; jewelry; etc., when they can be got at-cost at 222 West Fourth street, Santa Ana, where W.R. Giles is selling out everything on account of ill health. nov29-4t The State of Illinois is without an executive head, says a dispatch of Tuesday evening, and there is nobody in the State qualified under the law to act as his substitute. Governor Altgeld is at the Hot Springs, Lieutenant Governor Gill is in California, Senator Coppinger, President pro tem of the Senate, is on Federal duty in Canada, and nobody knows where Speaker Crafts is. ACENTIA POINTERS FAMILIES NOW WHERE ONCE CORRESPONDENT COULD COUNT AT ONE—THE ORANGE GROWERS, who are living here do not notice the country is gradually filling up with food, but our attention has been called to matter by an old resident who had been some time and returning more discontented with the many new houses and faces. We remember the time when was but one family in what is now the city of Placentia school district. Now we count seventy families and there is room for more. We do not think that claiming too much to say that in all cities there are seventy families, who are the entire population of one district, so more comfortable, contented, happy prosperous than those who live in Placentia. There seems to be harvest here at ores and seasons. From January to the orange crop, estimated this year to have hundred载s, besides thirty or carloads of cabbage. From July to the grain—barley, wheat and corn, beans, raisins and wine grapes, all a money and are industries of note. Crop comes in later and averages thirty载s, which will, before years, increase to one hundred载s each car bringing from $1,000 to the months of December and January devoted to a general cleaning up of olives and preparations begin for sowing crop. Wood industry and the hundreds of olives or asphaltum that is hauled from annually is no small item causes the revenue considerably. All tons of turkeys were shipped tooles for Thanksgiving. Placentia orange growers, including Fullerton, have perfected a strong organization, embracing all of the large and nearly all the small ones, execlhe Gilman place. The estimated cars now in the association is 220 vehicles for the ensuing year are: W. Ward, M. Benchley, A. McDermont, S. W. Leffingwell, W. M. McFadden Crowther, W. F. Botstord is L. B. Benchley Vice-President and Secretary. If a suitable packing-not be rented the association will own its own. The Citizens' Bank of has been selected as custodian of yea. Woodward is on the sick list. It has the frame of his cottage up, and his roads, is grubbing out the trees and otherwise improving and digging his home. Clinton, who has been living on the church, has moved to the Measmer Inn Kraemer place. And Jury did a wise thing in recommending done on the road leading to a bridge between Placentia and Chish. For years an effort has been made to dry the rain. The Presbyterian Sunday school is preparing to hold its Christmas entertainment Monday evening, December 24th. Ed Krasmer advertises seed barley, seed rye, and wheat and barley hay for sale at his ranch three miles northeast of town. Painter Nemetz has adorned the front of his premises with a neat gilt sign. Painter Nemetz is an artist. Plowing is the order of)the day, since the rain. More sod is being turned over in the valley probably than ever before. The union Sunday schools of the Methodist and Christian churches will have a Christmas tree, with appropriate exercises, at the Methodist church Christmas eve. The election notice for abandonment of operations by the irrigation district appears among the new advertisements on the second page this morning. The election must be carried by a three-fifth vote. The local council of the Fraternal Aid holds its regular meeting to-morrow evening. There should be a large attendance of members, as business of importance will come before the meeting. Mr. Rodgers informs us there will be a meeting of the Directors of the orange growers' association at the City Hall next Saturday afternoon at 2, to which an invitation is extended all growers to attend. Our merchants are preparing for the Christmas holidays, and are receiving goods suitable for presents. There is no need for going away for your presents, as the different stores in town offer sufficient inducements to keep your money at home. At the meeting of the Masonic lodge Monday evening the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: H. W. Chynoweth, W. M.; S. Holman, S. W.; H. A. Stough, J. W.; W. M. Higgins, Treasurer; Joseph Helmsen, Secretary. The case of Pritchard vs. Whitaker Bros. of Buena Park, appealed from the Justice's Court in this city, was tried in the Superior Court on Thursday and resulted in a verdict for the defendant, confirming the judgment of the lower court, for $131 and costs. Tuesday evening was showery and the dark clouds portended a heavy downpour during the night. But the clouds dispersed and the moon shone brightly. Yesterday we had a raw wind, the boreal blasts presaging the fall of snow in the hills. Mrs. John Kuebler yesterday swore out a complaint charging Capt. Remick with an insulthip, and a more striking example of the draughtman's art, as well as a more useful map in every particular, it would be indeed difficult to find. That Mr. Beebe of the candy kitchen has been compelled to work all night for several nights consecutively during the week to keep up with the demand for candies, is not to be wondered at if all of his wares are possessed of these same uniform degree of excellence as characterized the tray of candies brought into our office on Monday morning. A Los Angeles friend in at the time assures us that no finer candy is made in the angelio town. Mr. Beebe's candies are "out of sight," to employ an expression frequently used concerning them, and for his very generous donation he has the thanks of the force. Clarence Groat found his runaway mare at Olive, after looking in vain for her all over the country for several days. The animal was taken up by a rancher on the hill who thought, after keeping it two or three days waiting for the owner to come and get it, to set out himself in search of him. He went over to Orange, whence the news spread quickly to Santa Ana, and Doo. Garner telephoned Groat over that she had been found, and Clarence went up and got it. The mare is a valuable animal, quite speedy, and though its owner would have taken $75 for her while she was lost, it is doubtful if much less than $300 will purchase her now. We take pleasure in directing the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Gray Brothers & Ward, the well-known cement builders of San Francisco and Los Angeles, who have been doing such good work in committing our ditches for some weeks past. This firm of cement contractors does more work in their line than probably any other firm in the State. They laid the foundation of the big Crocker and Mills buildings and the new French hospital in San Francisco, and their signs may be seen all over the city where their men are at work. They are now engaged in laying the foundation for the new ferry house and depot at the foot of Market street, the bonds for which we all voted against two years ago, but which, now that this excellent firm is doing the foundation work for, has lost many of its torrors. The firm is ready to give estimates on jobs large or small, and are first-class people to do business with. A young lady living near the southwestern outskirts of the city on retiring the other evening was startled to hear the voices of several tramps in the front yard. There was no one in the house except the heroine of this story and her mother, the boys being all away, and when therefore she heard one of the tramps remark that he had a key that would fit any door, and a concerted movement of footsteps was heard toward the front porch, there was occasion for no little alarm.

Herr Kistler is finest line of goods that we have Anabeim, and ought to enjoy a very holiday patronage. Mr. McCullough writes from Los-Angeles at which time we reported something less than an inch as having fallen. The storm continued during the night and Thursday morning, when the total precipitation amounted to a fraction over three inches. During the week showers have increased this to 3.66. The outlook for a favorable year was never better. At the meeting of the committee on the enlargement of the irrigable area of the water company on Saturday it was resolved to increase the boundaries east, west and north, deferring the increase toward the south until some future time. The matter will come up for further discussion at the meeting next Saturday, at which time all those interested should be present and give the board the benefit of their views. The poverty party given by the ladies of the Episcopal Church at the Del Campo last Thursday evening was a very pleasant affair. The costumes worn were in the main ludicrous indeed, and all were bent on passing the evening in true Arkansaw fashion. Virginia reels and Old Dan Tucker dances were freely indulged in and were much enjoyed. The affair was quite a success financially, and the ladies who had the party in charge are deserving of praise for their entertainment. Well, well, well! Just as we expected! Here is our old friend Wm. Schwenckert writing us from San Francisco not to forward his paper there further, saying that he has given up the idea of living there—don't like it all—and has decided to come to Los Angeles, adding that Southern California is the only country on earth after all! We know all along that Schwenckert couldn't stay away, and we are glad to know he is coming back—he is in Los Angeles by this time. He left the city on Saturday on the Pomona, and his family will follow to-day on the Santa Rosa. He adds that he will be down to see his friends in Anaheim occasionally. At the recent Christian Endeavor convention in Santa Ana, the following officers were elected for the Southern California district: President, C. B.

Gulick, Riverside county; W. S. Edwards, Santa Barbara county; Miss Bertha Isenberg, Ventura county; Miss Jessie Chambers, Los Angeles county; Miss Katelle Conaway, San Bernardino county; J. H. Bronwer, San Diego county; Miss Susie Ross-Lewin, Orange county. A copy of Mr. Stephen E. Kieffer's new map of Orange county, showing the different judicial townships, Supervisor districts, incorporated towns, etc., has been received at this office, and a more valuable piece of office furniture, if we may be permitted to so refer to it, can scarcely be imagined. This unique map ought to be on the walls of every office in the county, as it shows at a glance what had hitherto been a vexation question, viz., the exact location of the lines dividing the several political divisions of the county. Mr. Kieffer has drawn the map in the happiest vein of his particularly memorious work. After lingering for some weeks with a bad attack of typhoid fever Frank Smythe yielded up life's struggle shortly after 10 o'clock Monday evening. His condition had been low for a day or two past, so much so that recovery had been despaired of, yet for an hour or two immediately preceding dissolution he seemed to brighten up and gave every indication of a turn for the better. He raised himself in bed and conversed freely with the members of the family, but soon after the final summons came and he passed away peacefully as if in sleep. In the buoy days of the last boat shipping season can be traced the germs of the disease which finally proved the deceased's undoing. Eager to get his crop into the warehouse before the final closing day, he was up betines, working early and late to that end, and succumbed to physical exhaustion. Two hemorrhages proceeded dissolution, and though everything was done to comfort the sufferer, it was of no avail, and he passed away in the hope of eternal salvation. Deceased was 34 years of age, and had been a resident of this city for a number of years. He was universally esteemed by a wide circle of friends, who deeply deplore his untimely end. The funeral occurred from the residence of Mrs. Smythe, mother of deceased yesterday morning, she remains being followed to their last resting place by a large concoction of sorrowing friends.
