THE NEWS OF THE WEEK. An Extension of Time Asked for Completing the Electric Works. Mr. Griffes Registers a Kick When the Council Requested His Firm to Pay the Electrical Engineer’s Salary for the Extension of Time — The Council Has a Great Eye for Economy — Frank Littlefield Pumps Lead at His Brother Sheldon, but His Alm Is Bad— Mrs. Pressel Seriously and Perhaps Fatally Burned Yesterday While Pouring Coal Oil on the Kitchen Fire—Sale of Goods in the Irrigation District — One Chinaman Chops Another With a Hatchet— Colossy of Crows—Minor Mention. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present, Rust, Lewis, Helmsen and McWilliams. Marshal Steadman reported the collection of $324 75 for water and licenses. Several delinquencies for the past month were collected, and several were reported in arrears for this month. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance of $1,710 50 in the general fund on March 11. A balance of $5,719 48 was reported in the electric light fund up to date. The reports were examined by the Finance Committee and found correct. The Committee on Public Improvements reported the commencement of the grading of Chartres street between Palm and Lemon, the steam pit at the power house completed and the city team kept busy repairing streets. The set of books to be used by the Chairman of the Committee on Public Improvements have been bargained for and will shortly be furnished by a Los Angeles firm. The cost of the same will be $40. The special telephone committee reported that they had been engaged in arranging for the establishment of a system here, but as yet are unable to give a detailed statement regarding the matter. The cost of the plant is the main feature under discussion. The committee will report at the next meeting, when definite action will probably be taken. The Clerk reported having received notification of the remedying of the culvert on the corner of Sycamore and Palm streets. Chairman McWilliams reported that Los Angeles street in the neighborhood of the Backs block was about 9 inches below the grade, and he was empowered to fill it in. The matter of fixing culverts at several street corners to carry off storm water was left to the Public Improvement committee. The tin roof of the City Hall being in and everything went on harmoniously. No time will be lost in getting the new building under way, and an efficient teacher will soon "learn the young idea of Magnolia how to shoot." Tim Carroll has lost none of the enterprise he brought with him from County Cork. He contemplates dividing up his big ranch in Magnolia into five and ten-acre lots, which he will sell at seductive prices to bona fide settlers. This scheme will simply transform Magnolia and the neighboring section of Alamitos into little towns. Then will follow the corporations and chambers of commerce, etc. May I throw out the hint to the plausible Tim that there is such a thing as lighting up the new district of Magnolia by electricity, locating the power house at his big well and driving the dynamo by its surplus overflow? Eb, Tim! Verbum sat sapient. Mr. Rucker, who had the misfortune to be run down and injured by Charlie Norman's team, is recovering rapidly, and will soon be at work again. With characteristic generosity Charlie has offered to pay for the broken wagon and medical attendance required by Mr. Rucker during his illness. The gentle showers we have been having the past few days have done a world of good to the beet and alfalfa crops. The leaves of both crops are in many places "new to earth and sky," and these morning showers with the bright warm days that follow them are just the condition of things we need. Lovers of the beautiful and bountiful should take a drive through Alamitos and then ask themselves how is it possible to purchase such land at $65 an acre! and in the artesian belt too! and with just as much alkali as keeps one from forgetting what kind of stuff the thing is made of. Mr. P. A. Stanton's artesian well is betraying ambitious symptoms. Last week it shot its volume at least four feet above the normal altitude of artesian streams. THE DISTRICT SALE A SMALL CROWD IN ATTENDANCE AND LOW PRICES REALIZED—LIST OF THE PURCHASERS. The sale of the irrigation district property was held on Saturday. Clerk Nebolung acted as auctioneer, and demonstrated that he has at last found out what his calling ought to be. Only a small crowd of bidders were in attendance, and the bidding was at no time spirited, yet the auctioneer, by his silvery eloquence, succeeded in getting $150 05 for the property. A map of the district, which cost originally over $1,000, brought $2 25. A wash stand, pitcher and basin, purchased originally to "rush" the pitcher for beer, although ostensibly to be used for washing hands, brought two bits. There were never any towels in the office, and when the pitcher and basin were brought up into the office, the reporter asked what about towels, when an obliging official showed that no towels were needed, as he rushed the pitcher down to Fritz's for bear. You don't wipe your face after drinking beer. The employees took rushing the growler, but one day, while coming up with everything went on harmoniously.

The cost of the plant is the main feature under discussion. The committee will report at the next meeting, when definite action will probably be taken.

The matter of fixing culverts as several street corners to carry off storm water was left to the Public Improvement committee. The tin roof of the City Hall being in need of repairing, the same committee was empowered to attend to the matter. It will cost about $25. The committee reported that the weeds along the sidewalks are cropping out and need mowing. They are penetrating through the wooden curbing and sidewalks in places, referred to the Marshal. A number of water faucets about town were reported to be in a leaky condition. Referred to Marshal. N. H. Mitchell asked that a water meter be placed at the Del Campo and Mr. Fowler asked for one at his place. The requests were granted, the meters to be put in at their expense, the city furnishing the meter. Mr. Griffes appeared before the board and asked for an extension of 25 days' time on his electric light contract, as the delay in receiving some of the electrical supplies from the east has prevented the speedy erection of the plant. But as the extension of time would materially change the contract, the City Attorney stated it would be necessary to receive the written consent of the contractors' bondmen to the change. Besides an extension of 25 days' time would entail an expense in maintaining the electrical engineer, who receives $100 per month, and who would practically have nothing to do in the interim. Mr. Griffes stated that the plant could be started in 10 or 15 days, with the exception of turning off three of the arc lights; but that, the council held, would invalidate the contract, because the system would not then be complete and the city could not accept it under the circumstances. It was originally agreed between the city and the contractors to have the plant in operation within 60 days, but 90 days were granted them, the extension of time being given for incidental delays, and as the 90 days have elapsed and the plant is not yet ready, the board did not care to make any further extension unless the contractors compensated the city for the delay. It was resolved that an extension of 30 days' time be granted, provided the contractors pay the engineer's salary during the delay and that their bondmen consent to the modification of the contract. Mr. Griffes registered a vigorous kick to the proposition, claiming that he will make but little out of the job, and did not care to go any further into debt. Bills to the amount of $332'60 were audited and ordered paid. Communication of the La Fiesta committee in regard to having Anaheim float in the procession. Filed.

A surprise party was given Mr. M. Rogers on Saturday evening last, and every one felt both gratified and satisfied. The school was dismissed last week from Tuesday until Friday, owing to the death of a sister of Roy Young in Garden Grove. The light fantastic toe was kept from rusting at Mr. Sharp's one pleasant evening last week. King Solomon said, "There's a time to dance," and indeed as far as that goes the young people of Westminster will take time, notwithstanding the pulpit thunderbolts hurled against the innocent amusement. Mr. Hazeltine received word on Thursday by telephone of the death of his wife's mother in Los Angeles. O. B. Byron killed a valuable sow belonging to J. J. Pyles last week. It seems the porcine was trespassing on Byron's land. A great war of words arose over the accident, but it was finally settled by arbitration. Mr. Byron paying Mr. Pyles the sum of $25. Dave Rogers, whose home place, with its fancy pigeons and fish ponds and tame rabbits, reminds one of a visit to the Zoo, has just planted twenty acres of his best land to alfalfa. Dave can now devote more time to uncorking jars when his friends call on him. George Lowery is the father of a new girl, and a general reconcillement among the neighbors has taken place over the advent. I. J. Cook and wife were over seeing us last week. People who have lived in Westminster can never forget it. George Mack is building two rooms to his house with very high ceilings on them. These rooms simply give George and his intentions away, and he may as well own up at once that he's going to be the new postmaster of the "village by the sea." Well, everybody likes George, and no wonder. Jos. Peters came to see us last week, and the old barley king predicts a great barley year. The meeting of the disaffected stockholders will be largely reinforced from Westminster. The farmers are down on the directorate to a man. ALAMITOS NOTES. Success has at last crowned our efforts; we have got our new school district, and the name of it is Magnolia, quite a euphonious name, by the way, but in perfect keeping with the place and people. An informal meeting of those interested was held near the site of the proposed school on Wednesday, CHILDREN'S PARTY. Willie Wood entertained a goodly number of his young friends on Saturday evening at the residence of his mother on Los Angeles street, the occasion being the seventeenth anniversary of his birthday. The evening hours were pleasantly passed, and later a delicious lunch was served. Willie was presented with a beautiful gold cravat pin, a handsome memento, by his friends. The ladies present were the Misses Edna Williams, Minnie Champlin, Bessie Schubert, Pauline Nemetz, Ella Warner, Ella Littlefield, Alice Warner, Ruth Smith, Grace Smith, Eva Lyons, Stella Lovering, Teresa Fay and Pearl Roberts; the gents were Allan Melrose, Archie Fay, Joe Barrett, Virgil Spencer, Milton Spencer, Frank Scott, Alfred Soale, Claude Stough, Ray Julian, Charley Gosch, Fred Lewis, Willie Gilhousen and Joe Lyons. PLACENTIA POINTERS. Mr. A. Ipsen, who has been very ill with lung fever, is able to be about again. Mr. and Mrs. McCullough of Los Angeles are guests of Mr. A. Pierotti. Mr. Arthur Staley has almost recovered from the serious accident he had with a spirited horse. It is a joy to his numerous friends to see him out again. Mr. and Mrs. McFadden visited the fair in Los Angeles last week. Mr. F. Wayne visited a very good friend here last Tuesday. Good luck to you, Frank. Mr. H. Lilley has gone to Los Angeles to reside for the present. Mr. Buctell of Los Angeles visited his son here on Sunday. Mr. James East has returned from Pasadena. Captain Wrede will soon erect a cottage on his land here. A great pastime for the young folks is coasting down the green hills. Mr. J. R. Tombes of Los Angeles visited his place here last week. Miss Dunn, who owns a small ranch opposite the Placentia Postoffice, is moving her house and otherwise improving her property. Mr. George Betts' lemons were among the best at the Los Angeles Citrus Fair. Good boy, George. We bet on you every time. Old Sol is acting splendidly in the capacity of drawing cabbage-stalks to heads. Apricot trees, like the State Capitol, are well represented with Budds. Something New.

Tom Walker has received a letter from the gold prospectors at Quita Vaquita, saying that the party were about to start back to the Pinacate mountains, in search of the mines which they started out originally to look for. The party is composed of S. Littlefield, Ed. Morgan, Mat Walker, Herb Morton and Fred Smythe. Feed and water being good at Pinacate, which is about three days' travel from Quita Vaquita, they will probably remain there for some time. They have been absent about five months. Attention is directed to the advertisement of Charles Federman & Co., which appears on the second page this morning. The firm carries a comprehensive stock of new spring and summer styles of goods, and their stock of boots and shoes is one of the finest in Southern California. We bespeak for them a liberal share of the patronage of the public, and we hope there will be no going out of town for goods. Indeed, we think there will be very little of this once the stock and prices of this reliable firm is subjected to inspection. Last Wednesday night about half-past 7 two of Man Wo's Chinamen became involved in a dispute over money matters, and as one started to walk up a narrow stairway leading to the second story of the building, the other seized a hatchet and running up behind him, chopped him viciously in the head, severing the queue and otherwise cutting him so badly that for a time his life was despaired of. The chopper ran out of the house and made his escape, going toward Cucamonga. The other was taken in hand by physicians, and although at first it was thought he would die, he pulled out of it all right and is now well on the way to recovery. Dr. McMurray, the veterinary physician, has folded his tent and silently stolen away, leaving several mourning creditors behind him. On Thursday last he went to Buena Park and sold the horse given him some time ago by Isaac Lyon, after it was so badly injured that its life was despaired of, but which was restored to its life of usefulness, for the sum of $50. Returning in the afternoon, he gathered up his tools, and saying he was going back to the Park to do some horse doctoring, took the train for Los Angeles, and got off at that city. His unpaid bills amount to quite a sum, and an effort will probably be made to bring him back. It is thought he headed for Albuquerque.

Charley comes over to Anaheim to see his friends occasionally, and we expect to see him back soon to remain permanently. Mr. Rogers informs us that orange shipments have slackened up somewhat on account of foreign importations of fruit, albeit the imported fruit is of inferior quality. About sixty carloads, or one-half the crop, have been shipped from Anaheim, and the indications are good for the speedy disposition of the balance of the crop. Shipments are still going on at a lively rate, and the season is by far the best in the history of orange growing in Southern California. Next Saturday will be a red letter day in the history of Santa Ana's clothing and gents' furnishing stores, as on that date the Red Front, which is a household word to all those who have ever lived in San Francisco and had dealings with them, throws open its doors to the public of the county seat and the county in general. The Red Front will do the clothing and gents' furnishing business at Santa Ana, or we miss our guess. Everything marked in plain figures, and the Levy Bros. the best men at the county seat to do business with. When you go to Santa Ana, call on the Red Front and see if this is not so. The anniversary entertainment and inspection of Company G at the armory last Thursday evening was a largely attended and thoroughly enjoyable affair.

Returning in the afternoon, he gathered up his tools, and saying he was going back to the Park to do some horse doctoring, took the train for Los Angeles, and got off at that city.

William Schumacher came up from the coast on Monday with one of the finest lot ducks of the season. This will be his last trip with birds, the close season for ducks beginning to-morrow. Birds are going north in large numbers, and Schumacher says these feathered delicacies are more highly educated this season than he has noticed during a hunting experience of twenty-nine years. They have been hunted as never before, are very shy, and hard to get. The dove season closed on February 1st, and the quail season on March 1st. The only game now being taken are geese, plover, curlew and rabbits, which have no closed season, the law deemed it unnecessary to protect them. We have thus a never ending succession of epicurean delights. Standing upon the brink of mature womanhood, a sweet and very fascinating girl has gone to her eternal resting place, after an illness extending over a period of many months. Miss Elizabeth Gertrude James, daughter of Plez and Anna B. James, who spent many years of her young life with her parents in this city, breathed her last at their home in Los Angeles, after a lingering illness, of paralysis, on Friday of last week. She was in the nineteenth year of her age, and was universally known as a sweet and lovable girl whose gentle presence was a solace and a joy to her parents, and who numbered her friends by scores upon all sides. She was taken ill many months ago with an attack of incipient paralysis, which became gradually aggravated, and terminated in her death as stated on Friday last. The funeral occurred on Sunday. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. The stricken family have the sincere condolence of all who know them in their sorrowful bereavement. The price of seedling oranges has been reduced 10 cents a box, making the rate $1.50 for the fancy grades. The reason of this is the unprecedented call for navels from the East, and the recent importation of some 300,000 boxes of foreign oranges. The Florida freeze has served to bring our navel oranges prominently before Eastern buyers, and many who never saw a navel before, are now satisfied with nothing else. Once the navels are introduced, the other oranges seem to be nowhere. This has resulted in extraordinary shipments of this grade of fruit, and seedlings have been neglected. More fruit has been shipped out so far this season than ever before to date, but the bulk of the seedlings are yet here. It is believed the reduced price will serve as a stimulant to moving them. The exchanges report an order for twenty-five carloads of fancy navels at $2 15 from New York and Boston parties. We have an unsigned letter from Westminster, complaining about the acts of a party wicked young men at that place, which, although it does not come up to the usual requirements to save it from the waste basket, we nevertheless give a place here: “There is an unoccupied building in town which has been turned into a synagogue of Satan, where meetings are held every Sunday to play poker and other games of cards, and it is even whispered that whisky is brought in from the outside.” [Horrible!] As an instance of the total deprivacy of this satanic society, some of them scattered a deck of cards on the street. Mr. Brewster contemplates leaving school for the East to rejoin his family at Elm N.Y. His fine place below town has been set to trees, and is coming to be one of best paying places in the country.

The Red Front will do the clothing and gents' furnishing business at Santa Ana, or we miss your guess. Everything marked in plain figures, and the Lovy Bros. the best men at the county seat to do business with. When you go to Santa Ana, call on the Red Front and see if this is not so. The anniversary entertainment and inspection of Company G at the armory last Thursday evening was a largely attended and thoroughly enjoyable affair. The boys never drilled better, and the inspection of their arms and accountments showed everything to be in the best of order. It is doubtful if any company in the regiment could pass a more creditable inspection and muster than our Company G. Gen. Campbell's address on the "Heroic Spirit" followed the drill, and was listened to with wrap attention for forty minutes, the speaker being frequently applauded. A social hop terminated the festivities. A colony of about a thousand crows have settled in the umbrageous trees of one of the finest orchards in this section, although they are doing no harm, an old hunter tells us that farmers and orchardists ought to begin a relentless warfare against birds of this class wherever found, to the end that they may be driven from the country. Crows are the most destructive feathered pests imaginable. They destroy nests, and peck at the eggs and carry them away, and they destroy young corn, fruits and walnuts. Years ago they inhabited this valley in countless thousands, and were a serious menace to grapes and young sprouting corn. Latterly we have not been troubled with them to any extent, but now that this advance guard of these black pirates of the air have arrived, it might be well to begin a war of extermination against them. Kill the crows. The chemical tests of acidity in lemons exhibited at the Citrus Fair showed that those raised by George Betts of Placentia, which were the only ones exhibited from this county, contained a very satisfactory percentage—7.81, and while they failed to take one of the three prizes offered, their excellence was demonstrated to be such that George is to be congratulated on the result. Thirty specimens of cured fruit were exhibited, and the Eureka lemons exhibited by Frank Wiggins and grown at Whittier, showed the highest percentage, 8.84; Sicily lemons exhibited by Conger & Woodford of Ontario, showing 8.64 per cent of acid, were second, and Royal Messinas exhibited by A. P. Harwood of Ontario were third, with 8.19 per cent. Out of fifty-two tests made by Mr. Turcke, who was the chemist in charge of the work, only nine exceeded Mr. Bett's report an order for twenty-five carloads of fancy navels at $2 15 from New York and Boston parties. We have an unsigned letter from Westminster, complaining about the acts of a party of wicked young men at that place, which, although it does not come up to the usual requirements to save it from the waste basket, we nevertheless give a place here: "There is an unoccupied building in town which has been turned into a synagogue of Satan, where meetings are held every Sunday to play poker and other games of cards, and it is even whispered that whiskey is brought in from the outside. [Horrible!] As an instance of the total depravity of this satanic society, some of them scattered a deck of cards on the steps of the Presbyterian church last Monday night. There have been missionary meetings to raise money to convert the heathen abroad, but it seems to me that the heathen in our midst need our efforts more than those at a distance. A variety of plans have been proposed to deal with this question. One was to have the names of the members given to the different churches to be prayed for, but it is believed they are past redemption. The most promising plan is that the Christian Endeavor Society take the matter in hand. They are great on prayer, but St. Peter says that faith without work is dead. It is proposed to do something practical, by sending a delegation of young ladies to visit them and pray with them, and try and convert them, as it is believed that some of them have souls to be saved." We hope the young ladies may be able to save these sinners, and lead them from their wicked ways. Supervisor Potter has taken the work of repairing the Olive bridge actively in hand, and while temporary repairs have been made so that travel over the break this side of the bridge may be resumed with safety, negotiations are pending whereby immediate and permanent repairs will be made. Supervisors will spend about $3,000 on the break in putting in lines of piling and barbed wire, the latter having been tried in Los Angeles and found to be a very effective means of gathering the floating brush and creating the nucleus of a solid embankment. Instead of extending the bridge as originally intended, a couple of hundred feet this way, which would cost about $575, the Supervisors have determined to dyke the embankment and keep the river in its channel, and move the approach to the bridge from this side some little distant to the north, on higher ground. Several substantial lines of piling will be put in, according to the plans now being mapped out by Surveyor Kellogg, and when completed we hope the work will be in every way permanent, and that we shall have no further cause for dissatisfaction with this ever recurring nuisance. Mr. Potter has been delegated by the board to solicit aid from the citizens of this neighborhood for the work, and he informs us that he has so far met with quite a flattering degree of success.
