LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Burgomeisters Meet and Settle the Telegraph Matter. The Telegraph Will Remain, and We Will all go on as Before, as Though Nothing Happened—Beet Growers in Convention on the Best Means of Handling Their Crops—The Curtain About to Be Rung Down on the Irrigation District—Work on the Flumes up the Ditch—Westminster Boy Accidently Shot and Killed—Westminster Girl Gives Birth to a Child and Dies—Garden Grove Girl Mbps—Fire in Town Yesterday—Charley Federman Loses a Pair of Shoes—Local Breveties—Minor Mention and Personals. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present, Rust, Lewis, Conrad, Helmsen and McWilliams. The Clerk's annual report was submitted to the Finance Committee for examination. Among the items contained in the report is the maintenance of the city team, amounting to 982 cents per day. This is considered a high rate, but owing to the steep prices for hay and grain the past few months, the expense was unavoidable, besides sickness has rendered the horses unable for service at times. The expense for keeping the team will it is reported be less in future. The total revenues collected from the sale of water during the year amounted to $1,762 34, after paying commission for collection. The cost of running the water works amounted to $1,925 50, leaving a deficit of $63 14, which amounted to the cost for water used in sprinkling the streets. The report of other revenues and expenditures show the city's affairs to be in a good healthy condition. The Finance Committee reported the placing of the oil tank at the water works. The Street Superintendent reported on street cleaning, having placed the principal thoroughfares in good condition. The Special Committee appointed to act with the Chamber of Commerce to adjust the disagreement between the city and the telegraph company, reported that the matter had been satisfactorily settled. The wires will in all probability be permitted to remain as at present located, no further danger of their coming in contact with the electric wires being anticipated. The matter of placing the oil burning apparatus at the water works was left to the reason that Anaheim is our market town, and Santa Ana opinions to the contrary Anaheim is the place of destiny. No sensible corporation would select a route with an eccentric river on it. The railroads have quite enough washouts to contend with without looking for them. From Long Beach to Anaheim will be the cheapest railroad track ever laid in the history of railroading. In fact nature has made the road already and it only waits the iron rail to complete it. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert are happy over the advent of a baby boy. He is a quiet unassuming little fellow. In coming to be a permanent resident of Alamites in this era of enterprise he has a bright prospect before him. Next to the indispensable amount of nutriment or I should say with it, will be installed into him a spirit of intense patriotism. He has four uncles who fought bravely under the stars and stripes and his worthy father draws a monthly pension from his grateful country and exhibits a pair of pants pierced by the enemy's bullets. I notice by a contemporary that little Mr. Gilbert was formally weighed on his advent to this mundane sphere; nothing of the kind. Though he were fat as Grover C—Or knocked out Corbett in a ring, The man is not the thing we see, The sterling manhood lies within. Though he were tall to reach the pole Or grasp creation in the span, He must be measured by his soul—the mind's standard of the man. Talking about scales, I have just dug up a Burbank potato on my ranch weighing 61 pounds and I have a good mind to invite all my Irish neighbors to supper to discuss it and its usual Irish accompaniments, butter, milk and leeks. I shall have much pleasure in sending the Gazette a graphic account of the supper—of what we wore and what we said, how many heads were broken, and how the Murphy stood dissection. DRAWING TO A CLOSE. AFFAIRS OF THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT WINDING UP — A DECREE OF COURT DISSOLVING THE DISTRICT TO BE APPLIED FOR SOON. The Board of Directors of the Irrigation District met in adjourned session on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock; present the full board. The sale of the District property had last month was confirmed and the sale declared conducted as required by law, no objection having been filed to the sale of the property. Judge Brousseau prepared the form of deed to be issued to purchasers, which will be furnished on application to the Secretary. After all property has been disposed of, and all outstanding debts liquidated, nothing will remain for the district to do but to apply for a decree from the Superior Court, asking for the final disorganization of the district. After the publication of the notice, the affairs of the district will be at end WORK ON THE FLUKE MASSIVENESS AND DURABILITY FEATURES OF THE FOUNDATION IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Up in a narrow defile among trees above Yorba, where for nigh a score of timbers of flume 8 have stood spike ravine, that the waters of the ditch might find their way uninterrupted along the tortuous canal in the hills, through the ditches into the valley bang of men have been actively at work a week or two past putting in the foundations and piers for the new which is to replace the old one, and rapidly nearing completion. The flume some 600 feet in length, and there bents of cement foundations, with these lars in a bent, and the one idea uppers in the work seems to be that the man construction shall be massiveness and ability. The work is in charge of Mr. lettt, foreman for Gray Bros. & Ward. In company of Mr. Ward of the firm a sentitative of this journal paid a visit scene of operations on Thursday last. Pier is of solid cement, four feet on both on top and 3½ feet deep. Altogether are 126 of them, and each of the bents forming to the ground as it rises or falls each side of the ravine, are of different and a minute system of measurement leveling is necessary in adjusting them for the cement before the construction pier is begun. Upon these piers 8x8 twill be placed upright, after which flume's superstructure, forty-eight feet head, will begin. The flume will not be plotted for some days yet, after which force goes over to flume 7, of some greater length than 8, situate a mile. The present canal between the two will be abandoned, and a new one cut that the ditch may be straightened and better condition. The present flume was built in 1875 its completion was celebrated by a picnic barbecue, en which occasion Senator delivered the oration. It has stood all years remarkably well, but now going up is inapparibly its superior every way. The camp of the workers is pitched midway between flumes 7 and 8, and as they blows for dinner, all hands knock off head for the dining-tent. Here we shoel find that the men are substantially the bill of fare embracing roast meat, tables, canned fruit, and the usual al- sories. The kitchen tent is clean, and gether the victuals spread before them compare favorably with those of six camps nearer the centers of population. We drive on up to the head of the door where the cement put in near the rive found to be as solid as a rock, filled to brim with a rapidly flowing current of thousand inches of water. At the end of the cement a pathway along th The report of other revenues and expenditures show the city's affairs to be in a good health condition. The Finance Committee reported the placing of the oil tank at the water works. The Street Superintendent reported on street cleaning, having placed the principal thoroughfares in good condition. The Special Committee appointed to act with the Chamber of Commerce to adjust the disagreement between the city and the telegraph company, reported that the matter had been satisfactorily settled. The wires will in all probability be permitted to remain as present located, no further danger of their coming in contact with the electric wires being anticipated. The matter of placing the oil burning apparatus at the water works was left to the Finance Committee. It was ordered that water be furnished Mr. Mende at his place of residence on Clementina street, provided he pay $10 for making the necessary connection, for which a receipt for water for that amount will be given him, and in addition pay the usual monthly license of $1 35, the amount fixed for himself and four horses. In the matter of the request of Rev. Reiser for water, it was agreed that the same be granted, providing he pay $10 for the connection, the same to be placed to his credit. A bridge at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets was reported to be in a bad condition and in need of repair. The water company was notified to fix the same. The Clark was instructed to insure the electric plant and the water works, the amount to be fixed between him and the insurance company. The Finance Committee was given power to purolase an oil filter of 12 gallons capacity. The committee reported the purchase of a carload of coal. The Street Superintendent was instructed to mow down the weeds on the extension of Charters street through the Deutsch property and on the county road running into the city from the west. BEET GROWERS A NEW PLAN FOR DUMPING BEETS—THE ELEVATOR SYSTEM ADOPTED—SHIPMENTS TO BEGIN THE FIRST OF JULY. A large number of best growers assembled at Kroeger's Hall on Saturday afternoon for the purpose of adopting a uniform system of unloading beets during the coming season. J. W. Hawkins presided. Secretary Gillison read a report prepared by the committee appointed to present the different modes of unloading, which was discussed at length, to the end that the most advantageous manner of unloading might be adopted. E. F. Kallogg favored what is known as the Carroll system, claiming that to be the best and simplest. A wagon-bed would be needed by each of the farmers, which need not cost more than $10, and which could be used in many other ways upon the ranch when the beet season was over. The cost of unloading by this system, he maintained, would not exceed five cents per ton. Ed Kelloy asked whether Mr. Kallogg would agree to furnish wagon-beds for all at the above figure and take a contract to unload beets at five cents per ton, but the latter refused to accept of the proposition. The elevator plan was after a thorough discussion claimed by the majority to be the best and cheapest plan. The beets by this plan are dumped into a large pit, from which they are transmitted into the cars by the elevator, which is operated by an engine, necessitating the labor of only two men. In hauling beets any conveyance may be used, thus obviating the necessity of an additional expenditure in rigging up a beet wagon. The Boege plan also met with favor, but was not thought to be equal to the elevator. A vote was taken to ascertain the wishes of the farmers as to the plan desired, which resulted as follows: Elevator plan, 39; Carroll plan, 56. MEMORIAL DAY. Business will be generally suspended today in commemoration of Memorial Day, and in the afternoon the graves of the departed will be decorated in the cemetery. Malvern Hill Post will arrive from Fullerton at 2:15, headed by the Fullerton band, and will be escorted to the cemetery by Company G, N. G. C., of this city. The Odd Fellows' lodge of this city will also be in line, and will strew the graves of the departed brethren with flowers. Citizens in carriages will fall in after the old soldiers. At the cemetery the following exercises will be held: Assembly.... Drum Corps Music,"Heroes Gainly Sleep"... Anheim Glade Reading of orders... Marshal Prayer... Chapplain Vocal music,"Strew the Fair Garlands"... Anaheim Choir Recitation... Miss Hettie Rugg Address... Rev. T. Beazley Vocal music,"Garlands We Twine"... Anaheim Choir Recitation... Miss Allie Robinson Song,"America"... Audience Music... Fullerton band Decoration of graves. Taps. Parties having flowers for the decoration of the graves of the departed heroes many leave them at Boyd's grocery store. ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING. The funeral of Louis Graham, a young lad of Westminster who was accidentally shot by the discharge of a pistol falling from his brother's pocket while the two were out driving a week or so ago, took place yesterday morning, the interment being in the Anaheim cemetery. The fortunate youth was riding in a farm wagon with his brother, when the revolver dropped from the latter's pocket and was discharged, penetrating the part of his arm. After the wound was dressed, the boy seemed to improve steadily and a day or two before his death was around apparently well on the road to recovery. On Monday afternoon it was discovered that an artery had been severed and that clotted blood held the hemorrhage in check. Medical assistance was called, but to no effect, and at 4 o'clock the unfortunate youth died. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. SURPRISE PARTY. The Ladies' Aid Society gave their President, Mrs. Rogers, a pleasant surprise on Tuesday afternoon. The time was pleasantly spent in social conversation and vocal conduct as required by law, no object having been filed to the sale of the property. Judge Broussaeau prepared the form deed to be issued to purchasers, which will be furnished on application to the Secretary. After all property has been disposed of, and all outstanding debts liquidated, nothing will remain for the district to do but to apply for a decree from the Superior Court, asking for the final disorganization of the district. After publication of the notice, the affairs of the district will be at end. Director Banchley was appointed a committee of one to assist the Secretary in the matter of making conveyances of the property of the district that has been sold. Judge Broussaeau was asked what his fees were up to date for services rendered the district, but not having data at hand to compile a statement of his account, the same was deferred until next meeting. Chairman Korn was appointed a committee to arrange with Collector Witte in regard to having him furnish a statement of his account to the end that a speedy settlement may be arrived at. Adjourned to June 4th. MEMORIAL DAY. Business will be generally suspended today in commemoration of Memorial Day, and in the afternoon the graves of the departed will be decorated in the cemetery.

ELOPEMENT. The story of an elopement comes from Garden Grove, Miss Blanche Witt being young lady who has disappeared with young Loominarv.Some days ago a young man claimed to be a son of Pamela preacher,came toMr.Witt's house asked that Blanche accompany him to home in Pomona,to stay with his sister This her parents refused to permit her to would agree to furnish wagon-beds for all at the above figure and take a contract to unload beets at five cents per ton, but the latter refused to accept the proposition.

In hauling beets any conveyance may be used, thus obviating the necessity of an additional expenditure in rigging up a beet wagon. The Boege plan also met with favor, but was not thought to be equal to the elevator. A vote was taken to ascertain the wishes of the farmers as to the plan desired, which resulted as follows: Elevator plan, 39; Carroll plan, 6; Boege plan, 5. A committee consisting of T. J. Jones, J. W. Hawkins, B. H. Hiss, J. H. Thompson, D. W. Wintters, J. N. Long, E. F. Kellogg and A. Gillison were appointed to arrange for the unloading. They will negotiate with the Baker Iron Works of Los Angeles for an elevator, which they guarantee will dump a load of beets per minute. It was agreed that the Chino factory retain 20 cents per ton from the proceeds of the farmers to pay for the unloading apparatus. Should a surplus remain the same is to be pre-rated to the farmers at the expiration of the shipping season. Mr. Cottman of Chino was present and stated that all beets are to be delivered at Anaheim and Buena Park and at one point only at each station. Shipments will commence by July 1st and the factory will be started not later than July 5th. ALAMITOS NOTES. Alamitos is not in the first rank as a progressive section but it is fast falling in the wake of surrounding enterprise. We should have had a local postoffice long ago, but one is now on the eve of coming, to be followed by a $3,000 school. The next move is a local creamery. It will be located somewhere between Baker's corner and J. M. Gilbert's ranch, but I cannot as yet fix its site definitely. It will supply a long felt want and be extensively patronized. As things are at present we have to haul our milk a distance of some four miles and considering the price paid for the lacteal fluid, the game is not worth the candle. We are not a minute too soon in agitating the new enterprise. Butter making at home has been unprofitable and unsatisfactory to the last degree. In the first place we have to contend with the difficulty of making it, and in the next place when we do make it, we must either sell it at 25 cents per roll or render it into lard, and in many instances we can hardly give it away. But all this will soon be at an end, and our dairy business will henceforth be remunerative and pleasant. But all these advantages pale into nothing compared with the coming railroad. We would all, of course, much rather see the road running from Long Beach to Anaheim than from Long Beach to Santa Ana, for the simple SURPRISE PARTY. The Ladies' Aid Society gave their President, Mrs. Rogers, a pleasant surprise on Tuesday afternoon. The time was pleasantly spent in social conversation and vocal music, rendered by Mrs. C. Rodgers in her usual pleasing manner. A song by Miss Phoebe Jones was also heartily applauded. Cake and ice cream were served. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, Mr. C. Rogers, Mrs./Heiman, Mrs. Cahen, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Fay, Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. Hartung, Mrs. Beaizley, Mrs. Hack, Mrs. Morton, Mrs. Mickel, Mrs. A. Lewis, Mrs. Fuller, Mrs. Grimshaw, Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. King, Mrs. Winstead, Mrs. Gardiner; Misses F. Higgins, Phoebe Jones and A. Beaizley. A Rare Bargain.

MASSIVENESS AND DURABILITY THE FEATURES OF THE FOUNDATIONS —TWO OF THE LARGEST FLUMES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Up in a narrow defile among the hills near Yorba, where for nigh a score of years timbers of flume 8 have stood spanning ravine, that the waters of the upper might find their way uninterruptedly along the tortuons canal in the hills, and on high the ditches into the valley below, a group of men have been actively at work for rock or two past putting in the cement relations and piers for the new flume, which is to replace the old one, and is now nearly nearing completion. The flume will be 600 feet in length, and there are 42 tons of cement foundations, with three pilots in a bent, and the one idea uppermost the work seems to be that the manner of construction shall be massiveness and durability. The work is in charge of Mr. Howforeman for Gray Bros. & Ward. company of Mr. Ward of the firm a representative of this journal paid a visit to the operations on Thursday last. Each of solid cement, four feet on bottom, ten top and 3½ feet deep. Altogether there are 266 of them, and each of the bents, coming to the ground as it rises or falls on side of the ravine, are of different level, a minute system of measurement and is necessary in adjusting the boxes cement before the construction of the basin begun. Upon these piers 8x8 timbers be placed upright, after which the’s superstructure, forty-eight feet overwill begin. The flume will not be commenced for some days yet, after which the goes over to flume 7, of somewhat length than 8, situate a mile east. Present canal between the two flumes is abandoned, and a new one cut out so the ditch may be straightened and put in condition. Present flume was built in 1878, and completion was celebrated by a picnic and ride, on which occasion Senator White reed the oration. It has stood all these remarkably well, but the new flume going up is incomparably its superior in way. Camp of the workers is pitched midway from flumes 7 and 8, and as the wickle for dinner, all hands knock off and for the dining-tent. Here we shortly that the men are substantially fed, oil of fare embracing roast meat, vegetable fruit, and the usual accesses. The kitchen tent is clean, and alto-the victuals spread before the men favorably with those of similar nearer the centers of population. Drive up to the head of the ditch, the cement put in near the river is to be as solid as a rock, filled to the with a rapidly flowing current of two inches of water. At the upper cement a pathway along the ditch one to walk along its side but at a distance.

The proceeds are to be donated to the district for the purchase of a bell. —Mrs. Meta Hansen’s damage suit against the water company and Gray Bros. & Ward has been dismissed as to the latter, and on motion of the former the hearing has been continued until the seventh of June. —Vineyard lot B. 2, on East Sycamore street, between Olive and Orange, containing twenty acres, with improvements, is advertised for sale at $3,000. This is a snap bargain, and ought not to go long without a taker. —Sam Federman is about to erect two double houses on the corner of Hill and Sand streets in Los Angeles. The houses will be two stories in height, and will contain sixteen rooms each. They will be devoted to flats of eight rooms, and will cost $7,000. —the annual meeting of the Walnut growers’ association will be held on Monday, June 3d, at 2 p.m. at McDermont’s Hall in Fullerton. Walnut growers desiring to join the association will hand in their names on or before that date, so that they may assist in the election of Directors. —According to the school census, referred to in our editorial columns this morning, Anaheim and the country west to the Magnolia school district shows a third of the entire increase of school children and population of the county during the year. We are the people. —An eight thousand gallon oil tank is being sunk in the alley running by the electric fish, as we have heard asserted, must be of great antiquity, probably going back to the prehistoric time when the ocean yet enveloped the Rocky Mountain country—before this part of the earth emerged from the sea. If that of a fresh-water fish, which to the lay mind seems more probable, the petrefaction must yet be of great age, and was probably clasped between the rocks during some volcanic upheaval of ancient days and kept captive for years upon years until released by the hand of man. If it be lacking in genuineness—but Joe assures us there is nothing of the sort, and that the petrefaction was found in Idaho hills just as it appears to-day. It is quite a curiosity, anyhow. —We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to the Venetian water carnival at Santa Cruz. The press committee’s circular says that the town has got a move on and will have a great celebration. We would like very much to be there and wear the brand new white silk badge, trimmed with gold, sent us for the occasion, and have a hand in aquatics; but that is next to impossible, and the best thing we can do is to wish our friends in this beautiful seaside city all manner of enjoyment at their carnival. —The Los Angeles Express of Monday evening prints a railroad map of the contemplated extensions of the Southern Pacific in this section, showing that the road will run from Long Beach to Garden Grove and then through this city to Placentia and Chino. Different papers in Los Angeles and elsewhere have contained elaborate articles in reference to the purpose of the Southern Pacific to extend its business in Southern California, and the road from Long Beach to Anahela has come in for no little mention. The road will certainly come up this way, and join us with Garden Grove and Placentia, and we shall undoubtedly be a very promising railway center. Pnt a pin there. —Mr. B. L. Bourland, recently from Texas, has purchased the Independent, and assumed control on Saturday. The announcement is made that Mr. Rugg will continue for a few weeks as editor; but as an editor is most useless as well as the most costly article of furniture around a newspaper office, we infer the new proprietor’s purse must be of great length and fat accordingly, and rejoice thereat. Mr. Rugg has conducted the paper for a year, and laboring as he says under the disadvantages of the previous wretched management, is entitled to great credit for his perseverance and assiduity in evolving order out of chaos. We wish Mr. Bourland success. —The many friends of Mr. M. L. Rogers have persuaded him to make race for School Trustee, to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of Mr. Rust’s term. Mr. Rust has served the people three years in his capacity of Trustee and clerk of the board, and feels that his private interests being such as to make it impossible for him to run again, he is entitled to an honorable discharge from office.

These eggs were in every way the equal of henna’ eggs—much the superior of those not The annual meeting of the Fullerton walnut growers’ association will be held on Monday, June 3d, at 2 p.m. at McDermont’s Hall in Fullerton. Walnut growers desiring to join the association will hand in their names on or before that date, so that they may assist in the election of Directors. According to the school census, referred to in our editorial columns this morning, Anheim and the country west to the Magnolia school district shows a third of the entire increase of school children and population of the county during the year. We are the people. An eight thousand gallon oil tank is being sunk in the alley running by the electric light works, to be used for storing oil for feeding the furnaces. The tank will be brick over substantially, leaving the alley open for travel as before. Oil will be brought down from the Puente wells, and the use of coal discontinued. Mr. and Mrs. Wren of San Francisco visited with the family of John Hanna, Esq., at Miraflores several days last week. Mr. Wren was formerly Miss Minnie Hanna of this place and will be pleasurable remembered by a host of friends. The couple took their departure a day or two ago for Pomona. Don David Yorba was not in when we called to see him on our way up the ditch on Thursday, but we noticed his orchard looking well, the olive trees being particularly well laden with fruit. The Yorba olives are the best in the market, and discount the imported olives every time. Dave, you’re fined the cabeza tatemada the next time we come up. Charley Wommer received the other day news of a disastrous storm that wrought considerable damage about his old home in South Bend, Ind. His father’s barn was struck by lightning and destroyed, and several head of stock perished in the flames. Charley ought to impress upon the old folks that California is the only country to live in after all. Lynn Lyman announces in the last number of his Moreeno paper that he will probably discontinue its publication. There are too many papers. The paper has run twenty-one weeks, but managed to cabbage the delinquent tax-list of the irrigation district a week or two after its start, and Lyman has had his pocket lined with silver ever since—to the eternal disgust of the other fellows down the street. While at Santa Ana the other day we inspected Sheriff Nichols’ art gallery, which contains the photographs of some three hundred criminals of high and low degree. The Sheriff takes great pride in his collection of jail bird beauties, and is we expect regarded as a holy terror to all of them—except such as them as have been hung, and are freed from the toils and worry of this cold and cheerless world. Keep your eye on the crooks, Joe, and send us over another summons pretty soon. Lu Chung Quey, the hatchetman who chopped a countryman’s skull in Man Wo’s place some weeks ago as his victim was walking up a narrow flight of stairs, was sentenced by Judge Towner on Tuesday to two years at Folsom. While Mr. Chung’s victim was going up the stairway, that gentleman crept up stealthily behind him and dealt him a blow on the head, severing the queue and following it up with other whacks so that it was thought he would die. But he pulled out all right and is now as well as ever. Ed Atherton has our thanks for a couple of carrish eggs, which as an omellette souffle proved to be of particularly toothsome character. These eggs were in every way the equal of henna’ eggs—the superior of those not The many friends of Mr. M. L. Rogers have persuaded him to make the race for School Trustee, to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of Mr. Rust’s term. Mr. Rust has served the people three years in his capacity of Trustee and clerk of the board, and feels that, his private interests being such as to make it impossible for him to run again, he is entitled to an honorable discharge from office. Mr. Rogers is eminently fitted for the position, and if chosen to the office will undoubtedly make an efficient, a capable and painstaking official. The election occurs on the 7th proxil, and the poll will be open at the schoolhouse from 8 o’clock to sundown. B. J. Perry will be inspector, and C. H. Nickerson and J. F. Becher judges. Cash Harvey informs us that the cutting down of the appropriations will not affect the races at the Santa Ana track this Fall, but that they will be fully up to the excellence of former years. There will be $1,000 purses for a free-for-all trot and a free-for-all pace, and Silkwood and Klamath will in all probability be in each event. Cash says the absence of the appropriations may affect the horticultural display, and that there may not be so many prize hogs and big squashes on exhibition, but that the race will be fully up to the average, and that a big crowd is looked for when Pleasant calls sports to bring out their race horses. John Meyerleitner, an indigent, living in a shanty on North street near the Santa Fe railroad track, was overcome by a stroke of paralysis on Monday afternoon, and was found in the yard lying upon his face. Dr. Ballard was hastily summoned and succeeded in reviving him, and he has since been getting along as well as could be expected. The wife of unfortunate man is blind, and both are upon the indigent list at $8 a month each. They own the place they live on, but get along, in addition to the aid extended them by the county, mainly through the generosity of the charitable disposed people of the city. Tim Carroll is in a quandary. Last year, failing to get on with their powers in charge of the beet shipments, he erected his own platform and dumped into cars run upon a switch constructed alongside. The contrivance, which had a tilting apparatus to tip the platform and dump from the wagon sideways, was quite successful, and Tim declares that dumping was thereby made a thing of joy and of merely nominal expense. He purposeed doing this same year, when a sudden he is informed that bees will be sampled and tested at only one point here, which shuts out those delivered from his platform, and requires him to dump with the others. Tim informs us that he thinks there is something wrong. Santa Ana’s prohibitive liquor ordinance goes into effect to-morrow evening, and it is reported that barrooms will be forced to close their doors and go out of business. The ordinance taxes saloons $800 a year, but it is said the monetary consideration is the least objectionable part of it. No screens are permitted on the doors or windows; nor chairs or tables or billiard or pool tables inside; and persons on the sidewalk have an uninterrupted view of the premises; and can tell whether customer indulges in the luxury of a beer, high ball, or pousse cafe. The council met on Monday evening, and it was thought they might repeal the ordinance, but they did not, and now Santa Ana is upon the verge of being a prohibition burglar.

ELOPEMENT. The story of an elopement comes from Grove, Miss Blanche Witt being the lady who disappeared with her loohinvar. Some days ago a young aiming to be a son of a Pomona came to Mr. Witt's house and that Blanche accompany him to his Pomona, to stay with his sister. Parents refused to permit her to do. Mrs. Witt were acquainted with teacher, but not with the son. Last day Mrs. Witt and the young lady go this city to do some trading, and are the young lady disappeared, and other searched the town for her, but find her. She finally learned that had purchased a ticket for Los An-Up to this writing nothing has been her. WOOL TOURNAMENT. Miss Snyder and Bert Lewis opened every interesting and closely played the score standing at the close: 41 balls, 2 bursts; Lewis, 34 balls. Seventy-five balls were played Clarence Great was referee. The will contest in the finals to-morrow. The prize is a very fine cue offered Frantz. Miss Willie Lawrence and Charley of Murchisonville played the second series. We have not the score to press, but expect the local crack good account of himself. Lawrence had man to play against, but if he is usual good form we look for him to evening Ben Porter and Will Freise and a good game is expected.

These eggs were in every way the equal of hen's egg—much the superior of those not freshly laid—being of excellent taste, firm and delicious; and if ever the market for birds experiences a slump, ought to yield a very considerable profit as articles of substantial diet. One has quantity and quality in them, and a diet of them ought to be nourishing indeed. Charley Landell takes Mr. Atherton's place at the farm during that gentleman's absence abroad. A new weekly paper is to be issued at Santa Ana, to be called the Times, backed by San Diego people, among them ex-Mayor Billy Carlson. Santa Ana needs another paper, only having one daily and three weeklies already, and neither one of them covers the field, and they are all starving to death. Years ago Santa Ana had a Times, started by Frank Cobler—it was the first paper we believe the town had; but it died, and we think an excited populace tarred and feathered the editor. The new paper is said to be backed by capital, and as it has announced that it will not import white paper by the single bundle by express C. O. D., it may have a chance to exist; but we think the picking will be short. The very sad case of the death of a young girl some days ago at Westminster, under circumstances that would seem to call for an investigation on the part of the authorities, has filled the many friends of the family with profound sorrow. The girl was of 15 years of age, and lived with her parents, and had recently given birth to a child, the putative father, a young fellow living about the colony and working on the ranches, skipping out for parts unknown some weeks before the event. The girl died, although the child is living and in the enjoyment of apparent health. If there is no law to reach this case, the young desperado who is the author of the trouble should be made to feel that if there are crimes which the law cannot reach, there is punishment to fit the crime just the same—a rope and tree, for instance. Joe Helmsen has in his show window the petrefaction of a fish glued to the smooth side of a piece of slate rock that was picked up in the hills of Idaho by Mr. Rogers' son. The petrefaction, if that of a salt-water reported the barrooms will be forced to close their doors and go out of business. The ordinance taxes saloons $800 a year, but it is said the monetary consideration is the least objectionable part of it. No screens are permitted on the doors or windows, nor chairs or tables or billiard or pool tables inside, and persons on the sidewalk have an uninterrupted view of the premises, and can tell whether customers indulge in the luxury of a beer, high ball, or pousse cafe. The council met on Monday evening, and it was thought they might repeal the ordinance, but they did not, and now Santa Ana is upon the verge of being a prohibition bond. An alarm of fire was turned in yesterday at 9 o'clock for a fire in a barn on the corner of Chestnut and Clementina streets, filled with hay and owned by Bernards Maccarai. The fire department responded promptly, and under the guidance of Constable Bittner soon had the flames under control. The fire was caused by a little boy playing with matches in the hay. One of the boys living in the neighborhood said he was trying to light a cigar and dropped the match, when the hay took fire and the boy ran to get out of the fire's way, being burned, but not dangerously, in getting out. At the boy's residence nothing could be learned, Mr. Maccarai being away. The loss is nominal, and there could not have been much if any insurance. Had the nor'wester of Tuesday been blowing, a bad fire would probably have resulted. The boys who "ran with the machine" are entitled to thanks for their good work in subduing the flames. A man making tracks, as fast as his legs could carry him, across the street, under the electric light at the Opera-house, while a couple of ladies on the sidewalk in front of the building called to him excitedly to stop, and that they wish to speak to him, early last Wednesday evening, was the object of considerable interest that attracted the attention of passers-by at that moment. Investigation developed that one of the ladies had been sent a couple of anonymous letters by a gentleman formerly residing here, and who was in town temporarily, asking her to meet him. She paid no attention to them at first, preferring to ignore them, when she was prevailed upon to go to the meeting place to see who her anonymous admirer might happen to be. She was accompanied by friends who followed her on the opposite side of the street, and when she arrived at the Opera-house was surprised to see a middle-aged gentleman step out from the shadows and acostet her, whom she knew quite well, and who ought to have been at home with his family in Pasadena. As he spoke to her, the lady's friends walked over to her rapidly from across the street, when the fellow bolted precipitately down the road. The ladies called to him to stop and explain, but he continued on his record-breaking sprinting until lost to view. Rumors of a cow-hiding are current, and probably if the young lady's brother hears it, there might be a job for the Coroner. Fritz Rubman returned from his tric York on Sunday evening, after a day absence. He visited his brothers in New England and Pennsylvania, whom he had not twenty-one and twenty-three years reside- ly. They recognized him at once, and needless to relate that Fritz spent several of his life with White In New York he went up on The World building and had a fine bird view of the city. He is glad to go home, and assures us that the story had got married while away is foundation in fact. Mr. Staley was in from Placentia on day and reports the walnut crop, where was feared would be "shy" some weeks as coming out encouragingly; so muchthe crop will be on the whole quite old age one, and at least one grower re-heavier crop than last year. All these growers are confidently expected to do association, and the field of useful that organization will be extended ingently. Mr Staley informs us his seer eager to hear news of railroad,and be greatly pleased to have it build up way—which we predict it will do in sixty days. Jake Stern informs us that at a meet- derediculous fruit growers at Fuller Monday evening,a lady represents Chicago capitalists having $50,000 ten- tage in a cannery was present to meet with having in view the establishment of its terpise at that place,and was very ably impressed with the outlook. And $3,500 was raised for the former looking into the enterprise of establish- canney,但as they made me quest for the paymentof $6,000 bone growers very wisely decided to drop and seek other parties to invest in their dertaking.Every indication is tha- cannery will be a "go,"and that de- fruit raising.in this section where it its beat and fullest development,henceforth attended withthe legal profits that should be inseparable from industry. C.W.Marden was in town on Ma- having in his possession a curiosity w shape of a piece of pine wood,the ha- done duty in 1,600 foot level of th e Virginia mine as a 14x14 timber,but had been pressed to dimensions of 5x14 cave in that happened in the mine n of years ago.The timber had done for many years in its capacity of ad upright before the cave-in,and was off by Mr.Marden a number of years being imbbeded in the earth.The w wd of unusual density,having been pres- surethe mountains of weight above it used resembles mahogeny,and is of th e And hardness of iron wood.Mr.Marde gards it as a great curiositywhich doubtedly is being not only a souvenirthe mine catastrophe,bbut an illustratethe forces chained in the bowels of th e as well. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Polhemus has returned from a several weeks' visit to relatives and friends at San Francisco. The young child of Mr. Alex Wright is lying very low with typhoid fever. We hope for his recovery. Julius Schneider returned Monday evening from a six weeks' sojourn in Los Angeles, in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits. Frank Eastman, who held cases on the Fullerton Tribune, has abandoned the newspaper business and is learning the barber's trade at Prof. Frantz's shop. Rev. Reiser went up to hear Ysaye—not having heard any good music for so long, as no informs us. The reverend gentleman says the eminent fiddler's fiddling was heavenly. Agent Claybaugh informs us that the Southern California Railway will sell round-trip tickets to all points on its line at one rate for the Fourth; good returning next day. Messrs. Ward & Coombes, of the cement contractors on the upper ditch, were in town yesterday. A number of gentlemen go up to the head of the ditch to-morrow on Mr. Ward's invitation to inspect the work. Mr. Cushing, who has been a valued atache of the Independent for some time past, has severed his connection with the establishment, and will probably remove with his family to Los Angeles. Mrs. Bertha Heimann is down from Los Angeles to spend Memorial Day with friends here. Mr. Heimann comes this morning to join in the observance of the beautiful practice of decorating the graves of the departed. Dr. Clark was over from Fullerton yesterday and made this office a pleasant call. The Doctor is enjoying the best of health, and continues the best-looking official in Orange County—with Clay Kellogg a close second. Mr. and Mrs. Fay went up to Los Angeles yesterday to meet their daughter Alexandria, who comes down on the steamer Santa Rosato spend her vacation from Stanford University with her folks here. Mr. Fay leaves next week for a business trip to Denver. Mr. W. J. Smith was called to San Diego some days ago to attend the bedside of his daughter, Mrs. Ida Kearney, who had been taken quite suddenly ill. He returned on Tuesday, and reports her improved and in a new way to convalescence and recovery. Frank Gates having returned from the Old Fellows' grand lodge, is putting in time doing the masonry work for the cement piers at flume 8. Frank gives the piers the fishing touches, has his tent pitched near the flume, and tells us he finds a deal ofifference between working up in the hills and promenading Kearny street with his putting harness on.
