NEWS OF THE WEEK. Water Stockholders' Annual Meeting. The Amendment Giving Directors Power to Enlarge the District Voted Down by Unanimous Consent of Those Favering It—Exhaustive Report of the Board of Audit—Mr. Barnes, the Ontario Bank Robber, Played the Part of a Swell at the St. George Hotel—Ed Amerige Sold Him a Lot for $100—The Robber Gets In the Social Swim, and Comes to Annaheim to Spend the Afternoon—Fire Yesterday in One of Mrs. Metz's Houses—Little Loss—Minor Mention. The amendment to the water articles permitting the Directors to increase the irrigable area by taking in contiguous territory whenever in their opinion it appeared to be for the best interest of the company to do so, went up the flume, as Doc. Pfeninger would say, at the annual meeting of stockholders in the company on Saturday—as Cap. Fergunstein used to say, up the blooming spout. The Directors, whose wisdom had evolved the project against which such emphatic opposition appeared, found themselves between the Scylla of an attempted warding off of a vote until such time as their side should be more fully represented, and the Charybdes of permitting it to go to inevitable defeat at the ballot box. Those who spoke upon the amendment were for the most part against it, and the rattle of feet upon the floor in laudatory approbation of their remarks, showed the way the wind was blowing with the stockholders who opposed any increase in the boundaries of the district. The Directors were clearly over their heads; their only salvation was to swim out. And swim out they did, and in a manner, too, to evoke the mental reflection that while they may run counter to the wishes of stockholders jealous of their water rights at times, they lose but little time in righting themselves again. Last week the despised amendment might have stood against the world; now, there are none so poor as to do it reverence. The Directors were all re-elected without opposition. They must have been flattered at the laudation of them. They were in the opinion of all the best board the company had ever had; if all the succeeding boards could be composed of similar material, there would be no objection to the amendment; but there might be other boards, and the stockholders really couldn't permit the increase without voting upon the lands to be taken in themselves. Mr. Ryan essayed to stay the gathering storm. "Which will you have, gentlemen," he said, "either this because even if all went to the dogs, so little of it has been imported into the State that the loss would be unappreciable. This was rather a sweeping remark on my part, and I am willing to take part of it back. But it is a deplorable fact that hardly any one you meet, and hardly a newspaper you lift, is free from the most glaring outrages on ordinary grammar. "I ain't" and "you ain't," "we ain't." There's no such a word as "ain't" in the English language, nor in any other, and yet you might as well try to stem the tide at the Landing with a pitchfork as try to impress on our boys and girls that the use of it is not only improper but highly objectionable. Then again plural nouns and singular verbs, and vice versa. Is there any use telling our children that such glaring defects in ordinary grammar will, if persisted in, by and by exclude them from good, or refined society. There is no distinction of castle and class in the States such as there is over the Atlantic; but if our boys and girls aspire ever to mingle with our educated classes they must learn the grammar current among them, and leave "I ain't" "I seen" and "I done" behind them. No State in the Union has better qualified teachers than California, and yet to my personal knowledge the above is a specimen of the grammar that the teacher listens to a hundred times a minute during school hours every day and without reproof. Where is it teaching a child that a verb must agree with its nominative in number and person, and five minutes afterwards listening without reproof to gross violations of the rule? It's a tacit acknowledgement that the book is wrong and the child is right. Of course the teacher will say that his pupils contract bad grammar at home, and whose fault is that? You will find it in one of the teacher's predecessors, who failed to instil the common laws of the English language into the "old folks at home." It's just as easy to speak good grammar as bad, but the fact is that half our fathers and mothers were never taught it and now they don't know it even when they hear it. Let me change subject; it makes me sick. Owing to the tyrannous intolerance of the authorities of Santa Ana in providing work for the bobo, he has betaken himself wholesale to Westminster. Four of them took possession of Patterson's barn the other night and the following day terrified all the women within a radius of three miles into giving them all they wanted. Bob McClintock has sold two carloads of peatland potatoes to the Germain Fruit Co. at 50 cents a hundred. Charlie Clay has left for Oklahoma on a visit to his uncle. Some Riverside parties have been in town this week on the look out for horses. They seem to be after the better class of stock. James Swayze sold them a team at $250. Judge Bontly has developed the best weather prognosticating faculties of any of his neighbors during the season. His proboscis must have acquired a peculiar affinity for the cloud land. He has not only foretold every shower we have had, but how long it would last, and never missed the mark, not even an inch. The statement of the Lodge detective that he was on Barnes' forethe Ameriges knew anything about it is clearly accurate, as the robber to the St. George Hotel three days after he robbed, when the Los Angeles office two other men under arrest chargedthe crime. George Amerige was in town on Sunday and displayed the remnant of these hair dye used by Barnes to color him. He spent a day and night with Barnes Los Angeles, shadowing him, and had such confidence in him, that he him to carry his watch and several dollars in money while he (Barnes) was at night. Mr. Beatty of the Olinda ranch was in, and reported that the two robbers come to the ranch day after the day and asked for something to eat. The given a "handout," and seemed very ready to get back to the hills north of whence they came. Barnes was taken to Ontario Tuesday at his examination was bound over San Bernardino county jail in $10,000 His pal is still at large. AN INSANE MAN HE GOES WITHOUT A HAT AND FOR CHAMPAGNE FOR SUPPER. A man giving his name as J. P. T was sent over to the Superior Court Judge Landell yesterday to be examining insanity. He had been found by one wandering about town hatless, and one them said to him: "Where's your hat?" "Oh, I lost it," he replied. "You bought a $3,000 team of horses from man, and was driving up from San Francisco fast and my hat blew off, couldn't stop to get it, and so I came to bareheaded." "Where are the horses?" "Ok, around in a brick stable over here I don't know the name of the street. I know where the stable is all right enough At supper Tuesday evening he called champagne. This clearly indicated his sanity. Yesterday morning he tried to away from Constable Bittner, and she was forced to put the handcuffs him. He was taken into the court to await the arrival of the committing his istrate. He sat in the cold room whilst When the reporter asked him what was trouble he shook his head and smiled said "I don't know," and held up his moped hands. After questioning him the Judson him over for examination by the Lurge Commissioner. THE MAN NOT INSANE. Constable Bittner took the man over Santa Ana yesterday and returned last evening, saying that after Judge Towner looked into the case he said he would commit the man to an asylum. Evidently the Judge did not consider the man quite yet. CHURCH NOTICES. Presbyterian Church—Rev. T. Beaizie pastor.

GEORGE HOTEL—THE STOLEN MONEY WAS HID IN THE HILLS BEYOND FULLERTON—THE DAY AFTER HE LEFT THE HOTEL HE WAS CAUGHT IN LOS ANGELES. Monday, January 7th, three days after the Ontario bank robbery, in which that institution was robbed of $5,000 by two men, a smartly dressed young man, wearing kid-gloves, and otherwise fashionably apparelled, alighted from the Santa Fe train at Fallerton and went to the St. George Hotel and registered as C. B. Barnes, his handwriting being that of a man adept in handling the pen. He represented himself as being from Alabama, and said he had $3,000 to spend in California real estate. Ed. Amerige, part owner of the hotel, promptly sold him a lot, the man making a payment of $100 to bind the bargain. On the following Friday, a week after the robbery, Barnes having imitated himself into the confidence of the proprietors of the hotel, although there were suspicious circumstances connected with his stay, Ed. Amerige and Barnes went down to the Bolas gunning. They were entertained by a young man named Lawrence, and returned on Sunday. The next day Barnes went to Los Angeles, and returned on Wednesday, staying over night and going back on Thursday. On the following Saturday he came again to the hotel, remaining over night, and returned to Los Angeles on Sunday. On the next day, Monday, the 21st, he was arrested by the Los Angeles officers as one of the Ontario bank robbers, and was later fully identified as one of the robbers by the cashier. Two thousand dollars in coin was found in one of his valises at the Ramona Hotel in Los Angeles, he having carried the money up from Fullerton, where it had been hid in the hills back of the town, on the preceding Sunday. During his stay at the St. George, Barnes left his room on several different occasions late at night, getting out by way of the window, and going presumably to the place in the hills where the money was buried. His pillow was found to have been soiled as if by dye recently applied to the hair, and a skull cap, used to cover up his head to keep the dye from the pillow, was found in his room some days after his arrival. One night Mr. Amerige met him coming in late through the front door, having waited for him since his going out earlier in the evening. It was near midnight, and Barnes said he had detained so late by losing the way. He exhibited a pocketful of twenties the next morning, and suspicion was very naturally directed toward him. It could be seen that his reddish hair had recently been dyed a jet black hue. He was asked why he dyed his hair, and replied he had had some trouble with a girl at home, who had followed him to Los Angeles, and he wished to disguise his appearance as much as possible to avoid her. Mr. Amerige informed the officers, and advised Deputy Sheriff Pendergraff of Fallerton to arrest the man. Sheriff Nichols was informed and worked on the case in conjunction with the Los Angeles police, and helped make the arrest. The robbers drove to the pass in the Santa Ana canyon before they could visit to his uncle.

The congregation at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday evening heard a discourse from the pastor, Rev. T. Beaizley, on the subject of Temperature. Three different surname texts were used to give a complete presentation of the subject. Few subjects to day call for more careful handling than this. The time has come when it must be handled. More feelings and judices are not enough, reason and right must be heard. Some claim the rightful use of wine, others say no. Between the two matters has been badly handled, and has feelings engendered. Paul’s saying to Timothy is sometimes quoted: “Use a little wine.” But for that can be fairly quoted, we must have the same need, the same kind of material and let it be used in the same way. Other treatment may be wrestling the scriptures unfairly. The Bible knows nothing of the divided liquors of today. This easy to talk about God’s good creatures.” Let any man show us when God made a strong intoxicant for man’s regular use. Alcohol has its uses but no man can show it to be an article of food for the body. The Bible ranks drunkenness among the punishable crimes. Mosaic law provided the death penalty for incorrigible drunkenness. The parents of the drunkard were to give them demining evidence. If such a law were in force among us to-day, probably some parents would be more careful about their children’s association and habits. Some ask does the Bible absolutely prohibit the use of intoxicants? The Bible does not prohibit men from doing many things that are unwise and hurtful, but it does not follow that we must be foolish. That is a very small man who needs positive commands or prohibitions all the time. How much better is he than a machine? Find a man who has contracted the drinking habit—they are not hard to find—what is there about such a being that you will offer to our boys as an example? A man may go through the mill, get worsted then reform, and make his mark in the world; but he would have made his mark a good deal higher up if he had not lost so much time and strength in the struggle with his enemy. It is a good thing to reform, but it is better not to need to reform. To keep straight, keep pure.

Spencer, Mr. Richard Melrose nominated Mr. M. Nebelung, Mr. A. E. Nutt nominated Mr. Ryan, Mr. Peter Hansen nominated Mr. McFadden, Mr. Sydmer Ross nominated Mr. Essick. Mr. Ryan took the floor and said that inasmuch as there were barely 4,900 shares of stock represented, out of a total of nearly 7,000, it would be unfair to the absentees to take a vote upon the amendment giving the Directors power to enlarge the district, and he therefore moved that an adjournment be taken from day to day until such time as a fuller representation of the stock could be had. He supported the amendment, saying the board had deemed it to be for the best interest of the company, but asked that the vote on its adoption be deferred. Mr. Sydmer Ross—Let's vote on the amendment and kill it right here! The discussion was participated in by Messra Ros, Ryan, Essick, Melrose, McFadden, Everett, Crowther and others for an hour, and the amendment was finally by consent of those in favor of it, defeated by a unanimous vote. A motion by Mr. Melrose to instruct the board to charge such sums for water as would cover running expenses, brought out the fact that quite a difference of opinion exists among the stockholders as to the propriety of charging enough to cover expenses, or to permit the present rates to remain undisturbed, and assess the stockholders for the deficit. Mr. Ross moved to amend by having the rates no higher, and that assessments be levied for the balance. He charged some stockholders with carrying large blocks of stock for speculative and voting purposes, and said the system ought to be broken up by assessing them. His amendment was carried amid some confusion in which only allight vote was recorded. The meeting was thrown into greater confusion by Col.Toffree charging the President, Mr. Crowther, with speculating in stock, and although many stockholders declared they did not believe the charge, Mr.Crowther, unwisely for himself, but desiring to bring an end to the confusion, rapped loudly on the table and adjourned the meeting. WESTMINTER LETTER. What on earth is English grammar coming to in California! said an ex-school teacher the other day. I told him not to cry about it, It could be seen that his reddish hair had recently been dyed a jot black hue. He was asked why he dyed his hair, and replied he had had some trouble with a girl at home, who had followed him to Los Angeles, and he wished to disguise his appearance as much as possible to avoid her. Advised Deputy Sheriff Pendergrast of Fullerton to arrest the man. Sheriff Nichols was informed and worked on the case in conjunction with the Los Angeles police, and helped make the arrest. The robbers drove to the pass in the Santa Ana canyon after the robbery, and unbitching the horse abandoned the buggy, and remained in the hills all night. This was directly antagonistic to the idea entertained by many, who were of the opinion that they had taken a train at Rincon for the East. The day after the robbery they appeared at the Olinda ranch and were given a "handout." The money was hidden in the bills between Fullerton and the ranch, and in all likelihood the robbers took the evening train to Los Angeles on the day of their appearance at the ranch. The officers are of the opinion that they took the train at Anaheim. After getting to Los Angeles in safety, they changed their clothes, and Barnes came down on Monday to see if the buried money was still where it had been put under ground. His leaving the hotel through the window late at night was for this purpose. His last trip to Fullerton was on Saturday, the 19th. He went out to get the money at night, and displayed a handful of twenties the next day, and went on his way to Los Angeles. The next day he was nabbed by the police. He had purchased a $175 gold watch and chain, and had a steamer ticket to leave for San Francisco the next day. During his stay at Fullerton Barnes proved himself to be a high roller in no small degree. He played pool with the boys around town, and when the others were "stack" he would pay for their games and spent money with a lavish hand. He arranged a fight between Lymburner and Fogarty, and on the 11th wrote his newly made friend Lawrence down on the shooting grounds as follows: DEAR BOY: Fight comes off Saturday night. Come up if you can. Barnes went into "society," and a story is told on him that he paid $10 to be introduced to a young lady at a cobweb party given at the hotel. Another story is to the effect that a young lady was sent to Fullerton by Los Angeles officers to meet him and keep them informed as to his actions. He also joined the tennis club. As a question has arisen as to the credit for making the arrest, it is but fair to say that had not the Amerige boys given the officers the "pointers" which they exclusively knew Barnes would have never been ar- Lessons in Music and Languages.

AN INSANE MAN. GOES WITHOUT A HAT AND CALLS FOR CHAMPAGNE FOR SUPPER. A man giving his name as J. P. Tipling sent over to the Superior Court by Landell yesterday to be examined for city.

Mr. Beebe has had a seige of illness, and although it will likely be a week or two before able to be out, has so far recovered as to make his entire restoration to his usual health a mere question of a few days or weeks.

Isaao Lyon is now located at Santa Ana, where to judge by the crowds of customers that throng his store must be doing the entire business of the city.

Joe Slater, who ran the shoe store here, is manager of the establishment, and he informed us that he had just sold fifty dollars' worth of goods to an Anaheim customer. Joe has a weakness for Anaheim customers and he has an especially agreeable smile for them when they go over to see him. The store's advertisement will be found in another column. While clipping one of the little street-car mules the other day Arthur Lewis met with an accident at the hands, or rather one of the legs of the beast that might have resulted fatally. He was working away with light heart and fancy free, and the little beast stood as docile as a kitten, when suddenly one of his rear legs was observed to rise and shoot out backward in a cluster of vigorous kicks, as with the force of a catapult. The first kick caught Arthur in the region of the eyebrow, and the next in the region of the stomach, but the others went wide of the mark, for he had measured his length upon the floor. A little doctoring brought him around all right, and he will hereafter give the mule a wider berth. Mr. T. J.

Several pililes have been washed away by the high waters, and the structure sags in places. Quite a sheet of water has been running under the bridge, and immediate repairs should be instituted. Frantz & Cooper have fixed up an especially attractive window at their barbershop, having transformed the show window into a capacious bird cage and placed several canaries therein. The birds seem to be highly delighted at their greater degree of liberty, and have proved to be objects of great curiosity to passers by. Miss Cristie having sold out her stock of millinery goods at auction and decided to remove elsewhere, Miss Moseman announces this morning that she will keep up with the procession and sell goods at cost for the next thirty days, to make room for spring importations. Here's a chance for the ladies to get bonnets and folde-r cheap for cash. Mr. Reiser of the German Methodist Church announces that at the solicitation of friends he will give lessons in voice culture, music, and in German and French. Mr. Reiser is an accomplished singer, linguist and musician, and pupils should cateem themselves fortunate at having an opportunity of securing his services as tutor. While playing with a number of school-mates on the playground at the school on Monday just as school was about to take in after the noon recess, Roy McKee, aged about 14 years, who lives with his parents some distance cast of town, was so unfortunate as to fall and break his left leg at the ankle. He was carried in Dr. Derdomo's residence and the break set, and was later taken home by Prof. Keran. Another party at Brookhurst is among the occurrences scheduled for the near future. The evening to be selected will be in the full of the moon, the tree-embowered premises will be hung with lights, and those lucky enough to be "on the list" may, to judge from all accounts, esteem themselves fortunate indeed, for the party promises to be one of the social events of the pre-Lenten season. At the City Hall on Saturday Mr. Witte will sell at public auction the lot on Olive street, opposite the Del Campo, in accordance with the instructions of the court in the matter of the estate of Priscilla Price. He informs us he has an offer of $15 for the premises, but the amount realized should largely exceed that figure, as the lot is a good piece of property, and is worth much more than has so far been offered for it. Next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at the Opera-house the Catholic ladies will entertain their friends at the Kirmiss, or dance of nations, rehearsals for which have been actively going on for some time past. There are to be seventy-five characters in the cast, and we are assured that the spectacle will be one of unexamined splendor. The net proceeds go toward the church, and the cause being a charitable one, there will doubtless be a large audience out to see the show. While unhitching his horse in his yard Thursday evening Walter Eymann had co- Mr. T. J. Jones has an eighty-acre field of beets that were planted last year, and which failed to come up at that time, having been improperly planted, but which are now coming up in an excellent stand. Mr. Jones had a hundred acres of beets that failed to come up last season, and the present eighty-acre patch is the volunteer remnant of that area. He will cultivate them, and the Chino factory will put some samples of them through their mill to see if they contain a sufficient percentage of saccharine to warrant turning them into sugar. So far volunteer beets at Chino have yielded only eight per cent of saccharine, and have been found to be worthless for sugar producing purposes. Mr. Jones will cultivate the patch along with the present season's planting, and has hopes of making them pan out pretty well. The Rubinstein musical at the residence of Rev. Fritz Reiser on Monday evening was one of the most enjoyable ever given in this city, and the program was listened to with appreciative interest throughout.

The horse became frightened and dashed away, demolishing the vehicle, and was with difficulty recovered. These Chinese celebrations are relics of barbarianism, and should be prohibited, at least in the populous centers of the community. —A suspicious character has been staying in town of late who claims to know a deal about the Ontario bank robbers, and if the fellow is not an associate of theirs, he is at least a crook, and will bear watching. Recently he approached a county officer and offered for $100 to reveal the identity of one of the robbers who he said was at that time in Anaheim. The robber Barnes was in the city a week ago yesterday, as near as can be made out at this writing, and this chap is said to have been seen in his company sitting quietly in a public place on Center street opposite the bank. Barnes took lunch at the Del Campo and went north on the San Diego evening train over this Santa Fe line. Since then the suspicious character has been quietly sojourning in town, pedding a quack nostrum that gives him the entree into business places and residences that would be otherwise inaccessible. He should be ridden out of town on a rail. —Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Metz noticed smoke issuing from a little dwelling situated in rear of her residence and a hasty investigation showed that the inside of the building was on fire. She raised an alarm and several of the neighbors ran to her assistance. Mr. Nagel was among the first to arrive, and entering the premises found that a coal oil stove had ignited and was in immediate danger of setting fire to the building. The renter of the building, a man named Wilson, who has been living at the place for some weeks past, was found seated at the table where the coal-oil stove was on fire, stupidly drunk, and attempting Gardner of Riverside and Dr. Downs of Compton were elected delegates to the General Council to convene at St. Joseph, Mo., beginning on February 12th. The meeting was the first State council of the order ever held in California.

Two hundred ladies and gentlemen were present and the evening will be long remembered as one of the pleasantest in the history of the organization. —Realizing in a degree amount of suffering and distress that exists among residents of certain portions of Kansas and Nebraska, and feeling that we who live in this land of continual sunshine ought to give some assistance to those needing help, the Christian Endeavor societies of Anaheim have arranged to give a musical and literary entertainment at Reiser's Opera-house, Monday evening, February 4th.
