HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK Southern Pacific Granted the Railroad Franchise. A Commodious Freight and Passenger Depot to be Erected Near the Corner of Los Angeles and Santa Ana Streets—The Franchise Sold for One Hundred Dollars—A Telephone Franchise Asked For—Turners’ Picnic—Bicycle Road Race—Use of Oil for Fuel at the Electric Light Works so Far Not a Success—Marriage of George Croner and Miss Patton—Local Mention—Brevities. The franchise granting the Southern Pacific Company the right to build and operate its tracks, sidetracks and crossings on Santa Ana and Olive streets in this city was passed by the City Trustees at their meeting on Tuesday evening. All the members of the board were present, and when Chairman Rust rapped for order, Clerk Nebelung reported that he had received one bid for the purchase of the franchise. On opening the same it was found to be from the Southern Pacific company, acting through its agent, T. A. Darling, and offering $100 for a franchise to operate its tracks through the streets mentioned. The check was certified to by the officials of the First National Bank of Los Angeles, signed by Mr. Muir, Division Superintendent of the road, made payable to Agent Darling, and by him endorsed to Mayor Rust, who subsequently walked home with the check in his inside pocket. Clerk Nebelung subjected the check to a critical examination, and pronounced it the most beautiful check in every respect he ever saw. After that official had, on the suggestion of City Attorney Chynoweth, looked up various dates and other matters in the minutes relating to the proceedings of the board in reference to the franchise, and found them to be correct, Trustee Helmsen moved that the offer of the Southern Pacific be accepted. This was seconded by Trustee McWilliams of the Fifth Ward, and passed unanimously. Agent Darling was present, and arose and saying that he was in receipt of an interesting letter from Mr. Muir in reference to the erection of a depot in town, produced the same, and read as follows: Los Angeles, Sept. 3, 1895. Mr. T. A. Darling, Agent, Anabeim, Cal. Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of the 2d instant. You can state to your City Trustees that the building of a commodious passenger and freight depot in your city at the most convenient point obtainable will positively be done in case of fire. defied any one to point out wherein the burners differed from the drawings of the insurance companies. A continuation of the discussion between Lewis, Helmsen and Conrad, drew out the remark from the former that the latter, who used oil burners at his brewery, apparently with satisfaction, burned twice as much oil as was necessary, as he (Lewis) had been informed by the man who sold Conrad oil. The latter remarked that the man who told Lewis so, did not know what he was talking about. Des Granges said that it would be necessary to buy coal soon, as the supply was short, and the whole matter was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements, with power to act. Adjourned. MR. MUIR TELEGRAPHS THANKS; It was close on to midnight when Agent Darling returned to the depot, after the meeting was over, and he immediately telegraphed Mr. Muir, who had informed him that he would wait up to hear what the Trustees did with the franchise, the result of the meeting. Mr. Muir’s first word in reply was “Good!” and he later telegraphed that his thanks be expressed to the Trustees for their action. As to the time for the beginning of operations on the new road, nothing can be said positively. Perhaps it will require another week for that. But it is known that right-of-way men have been over the proposed route to Placentia, and that everything is being placed in readiness for an immediate beginning of work. The construction train has been at work on the Tustin branch other side of the semiphore for some days past, putting in a new relay of ties and heavy sixty-five pound iron. This is a further indication of the fact that this will be the main through line to San Diego, right of way for which through the San Joaquin ranch has been given free. The price for right of way south from Santa Ana through the city and its southern limits has long been known as having been fixed at $65,000, and this the railroad company will not pay. Santa Ana will therefore not be on the main line south, but will still have the convenient switch connecting with it now running thither from this point. Among those who seemed to know pretty nearly the exact status of affairs, it was said last evening that work on the new line through town and on to Placentia would begin inside of thirty days. A GREAT BICYCLE RACE. THE TWO LEADERS HAVE A VERY CLOSE AND EXCITING FINISH—FULLERTON WINS FROM SANTA ANA. “Is your name Rodriguez?” asked the bicycle reporter of a swarthy young paisano in a mustard-colored sweater as he gazed wistfully at the dazzling array of prizes in the show window at Stern's store on Friday afternoon. “Yes, sir,” he replied modestly, and when asked if he would win the race that after- A GREAT BICYCLE RACE. THE TWO LEADERS HAVE A VERY CLOSE AND EXCITING FINISH—FULLERTON WINS FROM SANTA ANA. "Is your name Rodriguez?" asked the bicycle reporter of a swarthy young paisano in a mustard-colored sweater as he gazed wistfully at the dazzling array of prizes in the show window at Stern's store on Friday afternoon. Yes, sir," he replied modestly, and when asked if he would win the race that afternoon quietly said he was rather afraid not. The previous evening he had confided to some of his friends that he felt a trifle shy of Washburn, who finally won the race from him by the small margin of a second's time in a distance of eleven miles. The time was very good, 31:34, over a rectangular course of eleven miles, with six corners to turn in each of the three laps. In the evening the reporter asked of the dusky rider what he won. He replied that he did not know what it was, but pulled from his pocket two scraps of paper with writing on them to the effect that the second time prize was a gold and silver card receiver, and the eleventh place prize a picture frame. If Rodriguez had had his picture taken at that moment he never would have cared to hang it up in the frame, and he hardly knew what the card receiver was for. Rodriguez and Washburn paced each other throughout the race. One would take the lead and then give way to the other to set the pace. This was to gain more advantageously on the handicap men. In each of the two first turns over the tape with Washburn at his heels, and speeding like the wind. The first heat was done in ten and a half, but a troop of twenty-three handicappers had sped over the line ahead of them and were lost to view on the back stretch of the course. Engle was outclassed and came in last, although he went over the tape like a streak in 11:40. In the second lap Rodriguez came in first again in 21:5, with Washburn again at his heels. An even score of handicap men had thrashed and out ahead of them. The first man around the track was Judson, a six minute handicapper, who was never headed, although Allan Melrose was close at his heels for the two first laps, going as if the bogue man were after him. In the third lap Allan was forced into the car track, and lost his balance, was dismounted, and came in sixteenth in the final heat, and won a hair brush. The crowd swayed into the course after Clark, the last of the riders, had crossed the line in the second round, and the course was with difficulty cleared. From the scratch, looking down Center street to Palm, where the racers crossed the main thoroughfare on their course from Broadway to North, it was seen that Rodriguez and Washburn, who were still close together, had passed and were passing many of the handicappers. At the foot of Center street, where the riders passed into the half-mile homestretch from West street, the red suit of the Whittier boy darted first around the corner, coming fast. He was never headed, and crossed the line winner of the first place prize, in 36:07 4-5, twenty-two seconds ahead of Priest, who made a magnificent finish with Field of Santa Ana, going over the line but half a wheel ahead of him. The official time was: Priest, 34:29 3-5; Field, 34:29 4-5. On the second lap Priest's trainer, who was stationed down the stretch to dash a bucket of water in his face as he passed, let Field, who was running with the Fullerton lad neck and headache. "Anaheim's bicycle road race is an event on the past and any one posted on this class of amusement and who saw it must admit that it was the best race of its kind that has taken place in Southern California. The success of the first race will make the next and each succeeding one without doubt the best annual event in southern counties, unless other localities adopt the same plan. The popularity of a road race depends largely upon the view which spectators can get it, and the plan of taking a mile or more of one of the best streets as a part of the course of about four miles, over which the riders go several times at all stages of the race, will contribute most to make it popular. Considering the large number of turns the riding time was much faster than expected. A slight change in the course or a small outlay on the corner would give excellent road riding. The large crowd present at the race was very orderly and gave the riders more room than they get in most places. With the exception of two or three punctures, a broken crank, a broken rim, and several spokes out of the wheels of one of the scratchmen, nothing serious happened to them. The boys from outside towns seemed to be well satisfied with the handicapping and the results. Before and after most races there is considerable grumbling and fault finding with the handicapping, which they claim is unfair in many cases. Of course some one is said to be back of it each time. The riders in each handicap rode pretty evenly and the finishes were close and exciting. The entries included about fifteen of the fastest riders in this part of State which and genuine surprise. Mr. Matlock said he was friendly to the newspapers and favored advertising the franchise in a daily printed in the county and also in a weekly published in this city, but he wanted to "get shut" of paying the City Attorney $15 for the preparation of a new application for a franchise when the old one would, with a few slight emendations, crasures and amendments, do as well. To this we roadly consented, massmoh as the City Attorney is rich and can stand it, and our voluminous discussion upon the point led Mr. Matlock to believe we were a member of the City Trustees. For this he apologized to us later on, as we walked down the street together. The board favored the proposition of submitting the franchise to those who cared to bid for it, and the matter will be acted upon at next Tuesday's meeting. In reference to the City Attorney's fee for the preparation of the new papers, it is extremely unlikely that the board will act without his endorsement of the same, and as it costs as much to get a legal endorsement of a proposition of this character as the cost of the preparation of the papers in the first place. Mr. Matlock ought to be "out" about a hundred dollars for the franchise. We ordered a telephone for this office as soon as the company gets them in, and Mr. Matlock has kindly offered to let us wear his diamond once in a while. Engineer Des Granges appeared before the board in some mental perturbation and reported that after a careful examination of the fuel question at the electric light works, he was of the conviction that as present employed oil would not do. With the present burners, technically known as forced feed, an even pressure could not be obtained, and on a lessening of the supply of oil in the furnaces, the burners have a tendency to generate gas, and this entails an imminent danger of an explosion. He recommended that the burners be changed so as to be fed by gravity; that is, to pump the oil now contained in the tank embedded in the street alongside of the power house into a receptacle above the furnaces, and permit it to descend into the burners by gravity. Trustee Lewis objected to this on the ground that the insurance companies prohibited the use of gravity fed furnaces. As the power house and works carry insurance, this could not be done. Mr. Des Granges suggested that there were oil firms in Los Angeles that furnished burners if one obligated himself to use their oil. Trustee McWilliams objected to this, as not caring to be placed in the position of requiring the city to purchase oil from one firm. The discussion of this question, which would seem to possess no little interest to the citizens of the town at large, developed the fact that Trustee McWilliams was of the opinion that the burners now in use at the power house were so at variance with the drawings and specifications of the insurance company that if the works should be destroyed by fire, no insurance could be recovered. This Mr. Des Granges denied, saying he fare on their course from Broadway to North, it was seen that Rodriguez and Washburn, who were still close together, had passed and were passing many of the handicappers. At the foot of Center street, where the riders passed into the half-mile homestretch from West street, the red suit of the Whittier boy darted first around the corner, coming fast. He was never headed, and crossed the line winner of the first place prize, in 36:07 4-5, twenty-two seconds ahead of Priest, who made a magnificent finish with Field of Santa Ana, going over the line but half a wheel ahead of him. The official time was: Priest, 34:29 3-5; Field, 34:29 4-5. On the second lap Priest's trainer, who was stationed down the stretch to dash a bucket of water in his face as he passed, let Field, who was running with the Fullerton lad neck and neck, have it plump in the stomach. This cost Field the second place, but both riders made a game fight. Nick Hugo, the first of the Anaheim boys to finish, rolled over, amid a storm of applause, in 38:07 1-5. As he crossed the line, the ery went up from down the stretch: "Here comes Rodriguez." The two speedy scratch men swept around the corner neck and neck. Rodriguez and Washburn had paced each other twice around the course, but as they entered the homestretch their dual role against the handicappers coosed and they squared away for the wire like demons in a race for their lives. Rodriguez's wheel was all but in pieces. He had left spokes from his hind wheel pliantly besprinkled about the course, and the second time over the scratch his wheel was seen to be in such disorder that it was feared he could not finish. But the tough little Mexican knew no fear, and pedaled his Thistle wheel as if his very life depended upon it. As every eye was riveted upon the two, each disputing the superiority of the other, Sugg went over the tape in 34:27 2-5, followed closely by Cowan in 33:32 3-5. Stanfield was next in 33:34, and then followed Hood in 36:04 and Ruess in 32:33 1-5. Rodriquez and Washburn came racing down the homestretch. The former bent low over his disabled wheel, his eyes starting from their sockets as he exerted himself to the utmost to recover the advantage of half a wheel which Washburn had gained upon him. As they near the outcome Washburn raised from his saddle and bending forward to the point where his equilibrium seemed to tremble in the balance, swept over the tape line first, his swarthy competitor at his heels. In the momentary excitement many were undecided as to which had won. The scorer's voice ringing "One!" "Four!" settled it. It had been "Four!" "One!" in the other two heats, but this time Washburn was ahead, and he won the time prize, a tailor-made suit of clothes, in 31:34, the timers giving him a scant second ahead of Rodriguez. The latter's wheel was too light for him. Had he ridden a twenty five pound wheel instead of a twenty pounder, he would be wearing the suit of clothes that Washburn will sport at Riverside next week. Tompkins was next in 33:15, followed by Yeoman (32:47), Ed Woelke (39:55). Fred riding. The large crowd present at the race was very orderly and gave the riders more room than they get in most places. With the exception of two or three punctures, a broken crank, a broken rim, and several spokes out of the wheels of one of the scratch men, nothing serious happened to the men. The boys from outside towns seemed to be well satisfied with the handicapping and the results. Before and after most races there is considerable grumbling and fault finding with the handicapping, which they claim is unfair in many cases. Of course some one is said to be back of it each time. The riders in each handicap rode pretty evenly and the finishes were close and exciting. The entries included about fifteen of the fastest riders in this part of State, which spoke well for the first race started here. Of these Lawton, the winner of the Santa Monica 4th of July race; Cromwell, time winner of the San Diego 4th of July race; and Kitchen, the time winner of the last Riverside race, were unable to be present. They would undoubtedly make interesting for the other riders as well as more interesting for the spectators. The suit of clothes and the gold watch were well worth riding for, even if no others had been given, and the next Anaheim road race will be anxiously waited for by allthe crack riders within a hundred miles of this thriving town. A suggestion made as to time and manner of holding the next race might not be out of place. Why not take date of the founding of the "Mother Colony" and make it an annual holiday? Pomona, Redlands, Pasadena, Riverside and other towns celebrate in some such way. Anaheim ought to do the same and have a grand awakening every year. Let some of those who think it impracticable go to Riverside next Monday, the 9th,and they will return with their minds made up to have Anaheim daythe eventofeachyear. The leading business men could take a band in making it successful,and besidesthe road race have several short races and other amusements which will attract crowdsof people from other places and fillthe townto overflowing.

Bail was forfeited, and the city treasury was accordingly enriched to the extent of $100. Henry Strodthoff drove over to Chino Monday. While being shown through the factory by Mr. Turcke a train load of Anaheim beets rolled in. More beets had been delivered at the factory from the fields in this neighborhood than from Chino, and the superiority of the local article was everywhere noted. The four Santa Ana banks, which have been running from 7 in the morning until 7 in the evening, have signed an agreement as long as the moral law, agreeing to keep open only from 10 to 3. There are conditions without number, but it is thought an agreement will be arrived at when the long hours will be discontinued. W. S. Bartlett is acting as peacemaker.

The case of the El Modena settlers vs. James Irvine, to restrain the alleged diversion of water from the Santiago creek, came to a sudden ending last Wednesday afternoon, when the defense, after occupying the attention of the Superior court for about three hours, announced that their case was closed. The settlers were three weeks in getting in their testimony, and at its conclusion Lawyer Lamme for Irvine moved for a nonesuit, which Judge Towner disallowed. Theresupon Irvine's testimony was put in, consuming three hours, and the case went over to be submitted on briefs. The Directors of the irrigation district held a short session on Tuesday; present, Korn, Stadtegger, Carrol, Benchley and Staley. Treasurer Cahel reported a balance in bank favor of the district of $779 79. Bills to the amount of $50 51 were ordered drawn, and a demand on the part of Collector Witte for $50 for August salary was denied, and the Clerk instructed to draw a warrant in his favor for $1 for the same, the board having some time ago reduced his salary to that figure. Judge Brouseau announced that the hearing of the objection to the petition to disorganize the district will come up before Judge Towner in the Superior Court at Santa Ana to-day. The board will attend court in a body. Geo. N. Frentz who has just completed the delivery of his sixteen acres patch of beets informs us that this is the best season he has experienced since coming to California. His beets brought him $779 at Chino. Mr. Frentz has been doing considerable painting, notably that of the fine Hansen residence on Orangethorse Avenue, the Commercial hotel and Dr. Higgins' dragstore and residence, and he has the contract for painting the new Woelke residence, next to Mr. Witte's. He is well satisfied with season's operations, and thinks it would this be a blessing indeed to have a factory here. During the height of our wine-making operations he frequently sold eggs at 55 cents a dozen, and remembers when potatoes were four cents and a half a pound. These good times would return if we had a factory, as beet farmers would not dabble in eggs or small farming. While driving down to the Landing one day last week, Mr. Cahen, the popular President of the Citizens' Bank, had the bad luck, when near the Alamitos ranch gate, three miles this side of the beach, to sustain a compound comminuted fracture of the front axle of his rig, and to alight and lift his fire untamed caballo to the seashore. He had noticed the wiggly-woggy motion of the vehicle for some time, but thinking it was caused by the wheels, paid no attention, and drove evenly on, in quiet meditation; fancy free. At the gate he alighted and found to his amazement that the axle was quite broken in two, and he giggle City, carries gift cards and headache in while the race and went into cypress hedge at the Schneider's corner.

There are conditions without number, but it is thought an agreement will be arrived at, when the long hours will be discontinued. W. S. Bartlett is acting as peacemaker. Dr. Flournoy is making arrangements to build a handsome residence with infirmary attached for the treatment of consumption by the latest and most scientific plan, including the celebrated Amick treatment that is meeting with such wonderful success in the East. The Doctor thinks Anaheim the home for the treatment of all lung trouble, and from his extensive acquaintance in the Middle and Southern States thinks he can in fluence many men of large capital to locate here. Two seedy Italians, each armed with an indescribable instrument of torture, and one of them with a large drum and symbols strapped to his back, which he worked with a strap attached to his foot, wandered piping through the village other afternoon. A dark-eyed Senorita played a tambourine accompaniment and between times passed around among the crowds on the sidewalks soliciting alms. If they had struck towns the day before, during the Turners' picnic, they might have struck a bonanza. County Treasurer Harris has struck a snap. He deposits the county funds at the First National Bank at Santa Ana, and was on the point of transferring them to the new bank just opened in the Brunswick hotel, when the Directors of the First National offered him a salary of $150 a month to act as clerk in their bank, and the county funds remain. His official salary is $2,500. This is better than running store in Westminster, ain't it, Dick? W. R. Harker thinks the following is good enough to appear in this column: "There is a paper published at Hot Springs named the Arkansasaw Thomas Cat. Its motto is 'God help the rich, the poor can beg.' It declares that it is 'A paper of the people, for the people to be paid for by the people.' It advocates 'One country, one flag and one wife at a time,' and declares that it is in favor of the elevation of horse thieves and public morals. It is proposed to have another bicycle race Saturday, Sept. 14, in which none but the riders of Anaheim may enter. The course will be different from that of the last race, giving a better track and about two- While driving down to the Landing one day last week, Mr. Cahen, the popular President of the Citizens' Bank, had the bad luck, when near the Alamitos ranch gate, three miles this side of the beach, to sustain a compound comminuted fracture of the front axle of his rig, and had to alight and lead his fiery untamed caballo to the seashore. He had noticed the wiggle-woggly motion of the vehicle for some time, but thinking it was caused by the wheels, paid no attention, and drove evenly on, in quiet meditation, fancy free. At the gate he alighted and found to his amazement that the axle was quite broken in two, and he was reduced to the necessity of leading the horse three miles through the sand and surrounded by herds of wild cattle to the beach. He arrived in safety and put in the best part of the evening in carefully wrapping the break with wire, and returned to town in safety next day. While driving up from the Landing some days before, his horse started to run away while he alighted to close the gate, and was with difficulty recovered. Since his family has returned from the beach, he looks for no more trouble this season on the road to the Landing. Edward Evans was sentenced in Judge Landell's court yesterday afternoon to twelve and a half days imprisonment in the county jail for an unprovoked assault upon M. H. Cheeseman, the West End grocer. Evans entered the grocery last Saturday night about closing up time and ordered a bill of goods on credit, giving the name of a rancher living west of town as security. He was refused credit and kicked up a disturbance. Cheeseman went out after an officer, while Evans remained in the catabishment. The former soon returned and again telling Evans to get out, succeeded in persuading him to leave. When Evans reached the sidewalk he made an unprovoked assault upon Cheeseman. Inasmuch as Cheeseman is aged and slight of build, and Evans is young and strong, the assault was such as to call down upon him the severe reprimand of the court. While he languishes in jail he will doubtless have a chance to reflect on the wickedness of his ways, stay sober in future and refrain from assaulting elderly men. If he wants to fight let him take a man of his size. Frank Ward was in town from Los Angeles yesterday. He informs us that he begins at cementing of the Placentia avenue ditch as soon as Engineer Lum gives notice. He reports no killings in Los Angeles yesterday, although a woman who put off a street car because she would pay 50 cents for a dog she had with him looked as though she would like to kill conductor. Mr. Ward was once a short-hair reporter. Mr. Staley gathered nine tons of prussi from less than three quarters of an acres ground in his Placentia ranch. The crop early this season, as compared with last year, first pick last year being on Sept. 2, while this year the crop is already dried. Mr. Staley has noticed quite a number of walnuts dropping, this also indicating that universally large and of uniform excellent He also tells us that he rarely gets his coat of the Gazette on time, and has spoken us several times about this. What's matter with the Postoffice out there, anyways. Geo. Batz has just finished delivering beets from his twenty-acre patoh. In seven weeks' harvest he only missed day, and that was pay day. His beets were as high as 19 per cent and were among best delivered at the dump. In one country he never heard of beets going over or 12 per cent, and is of the conviction that the establishment of a sugar factory would rather revolutionize the condition of farmers here, and that we could raise enough beets next year for two factories. Mr. Batz has lived in nearly every State in the nation from Illinois on the advice of his physician who assured him he would die in two weeks so low was he with consumption. He survived the dread malady, however, and after living in the Southern State a year returning to Illinois, whence he came to California having previously resided here, having come to this State with the miners in '49. For past 13 years he has resided in Anaheim. Mr. Betz is one of our best citizens and during the week has been on his rounds distributing his beet money to various firms and shops in town. We hope he will have left a comfortable account on the right side of the ledger.
