LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Mr. Griffes Has a Beautiful Dream. But Mr. Sumner Falls to Return to Los Angeles With the $500 the City Owes Them for the Balance Remaining Due on the Electric Lights—Griffes Sees His Partner in His Dream, and It Didn't "Go by Contraries" Either—What the City Fathers Did at Their Meeting Tuesday Evening—Water Board in Session—Call Made Upon Ed Amerige to Prove His Statements Made Against the Board—Local Brevities—Minor Mention. Mr. Sumner of the electrical firm of Griffes and Sumner of Los Angeles was before the City Fathers at their meeting on Tuesday evening engaging his talents in a fruitless endeavor to obtain a balance of $500 due his firm on account of the electric light plant recently put in here. The board is holding out the amount on account of the unsatisfactory condition of the armature. It vibrates. It replaced the one originally put in, and while it does better work, is not yet quite what it should be. The unpaid balance has been a matter of much distress to these two young rising electricians, but as the armature is not yet up to the requirements of the contract, the City Fathers do not see their way clear to paying it. They would greatly prefer so to do, and get rid of the business, but they cannot do so until the armature acts with due decorum and propriety and ceases its vibration, which interferes with the continuity of the lights and sometimes lets them go out. Mr. Sumner's partner had adream about the five hundred the night before the former appeared before the board. He dreamt that Sumner had appeared before the council and when he returned to his quiet home in Los Angeles he met him at the depot, to see if he got the five hundred. As soon as he saw Sumner alighting from the cars, he observed that he had returned without the money. Sumner was "red-headed," to use his expressive hyperbole, and it was even so. Mr. Griffes' dream was not of the usual kind, which "goes by contrary," but it really came true, and inasmuch as his partner could not explain the matter of the armature, he returned to the wicked City of the Angels without the money. In the absence of Mayor Rust, Trustee Lewis occupied the chair. On the council being called to order Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the purchase of a car of oil. In the matter of sprinkling the streets, he advised that the job be let out by contract, the streets to be sprinkled every day (except during rainy weather). It lowing report on installing new lights: J. Backs, one 32; Tim Boege two 32's; J. Everharty, one arc; E. Luedke, four 32's, and meter; F. Conrad, three new 16's; J. Schauman, one 16, concealed; Herr Ruhlman, five 32's in place of one arc. Adjourned to see them. THE WATER BOARD. A RESOLUTION UNANIMOUSLY PASSED CALLING THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY TO ACCOUNT FOR HIS RECENT UTTERANCES AGAINST THE COMPANY. The water board met in regular session on Saturday, Mr. Spencer in the chair. Bids were opened for laying 850 feet or more of twenty-four inch pipe near Brookhurst, per lineal foot, as follows: The Pacific Clay Mfg. Co. of Los Angeles offered to put in 800 feet of vetrified pipe at $1 20; Kuebler & Stone offered to put in an asphaltum pipe for $1 10; Gus Schade offered to put in asphaltum pipe for 74 cents. On the suggestion of Mr. Ryan the awarding of the work was deferred until such time as the board could satisfy itself that the pipe could carry a sufficient stream of water for the needs of probable irrigators west of it who now desire to have their lands included in the district. Probably the work will be put off until after the meeting of stockholders to vote upon the increase in the boundaries of the district. Mr. Crowther of the committee appointed to look over Mr. Eyman's land and note the extent of the damage alleged to have been sustained by the breaking of the ditch, and for which $25 had been demanded, reported that the damage so far as he could ascertain amounted to nothing. So far as the washouts were concerned, he could take a scraper and two horses and fill them up in two hours, and had frequently done as much over his way. Mr. Spencer reported that he had gone down to inspect the extent of the damage, and while he believed it did not amount to much, yet it was certain that some damage had been done, he could not say how much. Mr. McFadden moved to disallow the claim. This was seconded by Mr. Crowther and carried. Superintendent Sheppard reported that he had sold some of the lumber of the old flumes. He did not expect to get more than $5 per M for the same. In reply to a question from the board, the Superintendent stated that from one-half to three-fourths of the water coming down from the river was being turned to waste in the sandwash. There was more water in the ditches now than ever, and the second run is begun now before the first has ended, and more water could be got from the river if necessary. Yet while all irrigators are supplied, and with a better service than ever, this large portion of the water is turned over to waste. Kleinigkeiten. Cyclists complain of numerous puncture tires. The windmill business took an upward tendency after the blow. No railroad surveyors in sight yet, they are looked for every day. The mercury registered 102 degrees Derge's front door at noon yesterday. Bill Conley has taken a position at Hank Stough's blacksmith shop. One of the chimneys on the Schindel residence was blown down during the winter. Federman's store building has five indications of being treated to a new coat paint. The ladies' eunche club will be entrusted by Mrs. Melrose at her home to make row afternoon. Billposter Hatfield is putting up a new bulletin board cast of Dr. Flournoy's office. One that won't blow down. Company G entertained a number of their friends at a social hop at the army Saturday evening. One of the city's horses stepped upon nail in front of the Backs block on Tuesday and is laid up for repairs. Herman Stern yesterday gave an order for the construction of a public water trough to be placed at his store. Charlie Wilson, who has being doing jobs about town for several months past has taken his departure for San Diego. Harry Davis informs us that his store will be closed on Saturday, the day being the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. Charlie Federman's store will be closed next Saturday, in commemoration of the Jewish Day of Atoumeh. His store will be in future, he informs us, be opened Sunday. Schools were out on Monday to give them janitor time to clean up after the blow. Mr Davis resigned as janitor, and the job was given Mrs. Heinzeman and her boys. Constable Lloyd of Westminster was in town on Tuesday. He found it warm in town, but said that Saturday night's bloody played smash with the corn down his way. County Clerk Brock gives notice in any other column that the Supervisors will receive sealed bids up to Monday, October 14 for constructing a protection and approach to the Olive bridge. W. M. McFadden has an article on this water question in the Los Angeles Times yesterday. It was tough on Mac, though to have him blue penciled just as he was getting in his work. The executive board of the fruit exchange at their meeting in Los Angeles last week declared an additional dividend of $6,000 from the freight rebates, making $20,000 altogether. Sumner alighting from the cars, he observed that he had returned without the money. Sumner was "red-headed," to use his expressive hyperbole, and it was even so. Mr. Griffes' dream was not of the usual kind, which "goes by contrary," but it really came true, and inasmuch as his partner could not explain the matter of the armature, he returned to the wicked City of the Angels without the money. In the absence of Mayor Ruat, Trustee Lewis occupied the chair. On the council being called to order Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the purchase of a car of oil. In the matter of sprinkling the streets, he advised that the job be let out by contract, the streets to be sprinkled every day (except during rainy weather). It was agreed to advertise for bids for doing the sprinkling for a term of two years, and the matter was referred to the Ordinance Committee to prepare specifications to be submitted at the next meeting. Trustee McWilliams reported that the Committee on Public Improvements had made several necessary alterations at the power house, including making it dust proof, and the putting in of skylights. Further time was granted the committee in the matter of enlarging the standpipe and making alterations to the oil burner. Trustee Lewis of the Ordinance Committee reported the draft of an ordinance granting a franchise for a telephone exchange in town. He had received a letter from the General Manager of the telephone company, asking that action be deferred until he could appear before the board. He wrote that he expected to be present at the meeting, but was unable to do so, and the matter went over. In the matter of the extension of Palm street, the Clerk read the following very interesting letter from Br. Weglein on the subject: SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17, 1895. M. Nebelung, Esq., City Clerk, Anaheim—Dear Sir, In reply to your favor of the 12th inst. I would state that I will be willing to sell all the land lying cast of the proposed extension. The property would extend in my mind injure the property. It has within the past two years been planted to walnut trees. There are now two rows of old walnut trees on the proposed extension, which you well know are valuable. If my proposition is accepted, the city is to open the street and to place a fence on the west side of the extension free of all expense to me. Yours truly, JOHN J. WEGLEIN. As Br. Weglein would have some 30 acres to thus dispose of, the sum necessary to open the street would be $6,000 for the property, not to speak of the fence, which could be used as a bulletin board, and the property rented out for a city park or circus purposes. Trustee Conrad asked how much the property was assessed for. Assessor Nebelung, who was present disguised as City clerk, replied seventy-five dollars. The board decided not to buy at present, but made a note of Bro. Weglein's price, and next year will assess the property at a couple of hundred per acre. Under the head of unfinished business, the board took up Mr. Sumner's complaint about the balance due him on the electric lights, and consumed upwards of an hour grappling with the question. Mr. Sumner did not himself know what to do, so he said. That the armature vibrated he did not deny. Engineer Des Granges had told him it worked all right, but a report from the latter to the city board was to the effect that it was no good. Mr. Sumner suggested that a possible rivalry between Des Granges and Sharpe, the preceding electrical engineer, was the cause of all the trouble, and that his firm was getting the worst of it. Trustee Conrad stated that Des Granges had told him the armature in its present condition would wear out in a short time. After discussing the question for an hour or more, the board decided to send the Committee on Public Improvements on a tour of observation to Santa Monica and Santa Ana, to inspect the armatures in use at those points, they being same as that we use here, and to report at the next regular meeting. If they find, from such observation as they may come in contact with, that the armature is as near right as can be, as Mr. Sumner august. Summer alighting from the cars, he observed that he had returned without the money. Sumner was "red-headed," to use his expressive hyperbole, and it was even so. Mr. Griffes' dream was not of the usual kind, which "goes by contrary," but it really came true, and inasmuch as his partner could not explain the matter of the armature, he returned to the wicked City of the Angels without the money.

Mr. Sumner angested that a possible rivalry between Des Granges and Sharpe, the preceding electrical engineer, was the cause of all the trouble, and that his firm was getting the worst of it. Trustee Conrad stated that Des Granges had told him the armature in its present condition would wear out in a short time. After discussing the question for an hour or more, the board decided to send the Committee on Public Improvements on a tour of observation to Santa Monica and Santa Ana, to inspect the armatures in use at those points, they being the same as that we use here, and to report at the next regular meeting. If they find, from such observation as they may come in contact with, that the armature is as near right as can be, as Mr. Sumner suggests it is (there is nothing perfect in this world), the same will be accepted, and if Mr. Griffes dreams again that his partner has come to town and returned to Los Angeles brandishing a $500 check aloft, he will be quite as near right as he found himself when he dreamt his partner reached Los Angeles empty handed yesterday morning. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Mur of the Southern Pacific Company accepting the franchise recently granted them for the operation of their road on Santa Ana and Olive streets. Attorney Chyroweth stated that the letter was accompanied by nothing to show Mr. Muir's authority to accept the franchise on behalf of the company. The same was, however, accepted and placed on file. Specifications for the sidewalk and curb on the Center street side of Capt. Mitchell's park were read, accepted and placed on file. Trustee Conrad brought up the matter of the wretched condition of West Broadway, from Walnut street west to the city limits, and suggested that it be sprinkled and strawed. Clerk Nebelung stated that he had just the thing to be used upon this road in place of straw, viz., pampas plumes which had been damaged by the blow. He had a limited number of these things of beauty, which he offered to sell at $1 50 a load. There seemed to be a purpose on the part of the board to accept the proposition, and send over a large four horse wagon and haul the plumes all over in one load, when Nebelung spoiled the trade by interposing a demurrier limiting the number of horses to two (2). Herr Conrad said he would furnish water for sprinkling this piece of bad road—we know how bad it is, for we walked over it the other day, and suffered from incipient paralysis for a couple of days afterward—at 10 cents a thousand gallons. This was considered cheap, and the offer was accepted, and the street was ordered sprinkled, Charley Wommer to get the water from the brewery, but to remain away from the keg. Engineer Des Granges submitted the fol- Mr. Ryan stated that his attention had just been called to a letter written by E. R. Amerige, who is now in Malden, Mass., and appearing in the Independent of Saturday, which he denounced as a tissue of falsehoods, adding that it was a shame and outrage that the President of the company should write such a letter, which could only have the effect of injuring the company's standing in financial circles away from home. He introduced the following resolution, which was adopted unanimously: WHEREAS, An article appears in the Independent of the 21st instant, signed by E. R. Amerige, which reflects discredit directly upon the management of this Board of Directors, and is calculated to injure greatly the present good credit of this company. Further, that as Mr. Amerige has been absent since June and knows nothing from personal knowledge, but appears to take his views from a paper notoriously opposed to individual members alluded to by Mr. Amerige. Further, that the letter is so self-laudatory as to be suggestive. Further, that such a communication from the President of this company, in its entirety unsupported, save by his own statement, is eminently adverse to the interests of the stockholders of this company; therefore, be it Resolved, That E. R. Amerige be requested to formulate any and all charges against this board in such a manner that legal action may be taken by either party, as an outcome of a full examination. Mr. Spencer made the observation from the chair that the President of the company had acted very unwisely in writing the letter, and that he (Spencer) was very sorry he had written it. The other members of the board expressed themselves similarly, and it was given out that if Amerige were present he would be called upon by the board to resign as President of the company. The board went into executive session on the employment of an engineer. Four bids were received: One from Mr. Lum, engineer of the company, offering to act for $5 per day for office work and $7 50 a day for field work, with team and helper; Mr. Kieffer bid for the job at $5 per day, including team for field work; Mr. Rogers bid $4 per day without team, and Fremont Ackerman, a Los Angeles engineer, bid $8 per day including helper. The matter was referred to a committee consisting of Nebelung, McFadden and Blennherhassett, and on Tuesday the office was tendered Mr. Rogers. Pumpkins for Sale. Twenty-five to fifty tons, in quantities to suit. Apply to W.C.Eymann. Positively; yes, easily. You save about one quarter by trading with the Red Rice Furniture Co., 351-353 North Main St., Los Angeles. And we pay the freight. Yes, deliver free in Anaheim. Mr. Holst built a fire in the ditch of Lemon street running along Mrs. Langerberger's north line on Monday, to burn up the brush that had lodged in the ditch from the blow. The fire got beyond his control before he could stop it had burned about forty feet of the hedge and the branches of number of walnut trees along the ditch. That sterling establishment called the Red Front at Santa Ana are making a magnificent effort this Fall to please all classes; by showing one of the finest lines of men's an boy's clothing, shoes, etc., ever brought to Orange county. It will be money in your pocket when in Santa Ana to go and visit their popular store and their goods and prices. A reunion of the Odd Fellows' lodge of Los Angeles and Orange counties will be held here on October 8th, for which elaborate preparations are being made for the entertainment of the visiting bretherns. The ceremonies will be held in the lodgement room in the evening, and a banquet will conclude the festivities. Special orders issued by Capt. Lander on Tuesday are to the effect that Company G will proceed to the target range beyond Fullerton on Saturday next; to complete the semi-annual target practice. Firing will begin at 7 and continue until 5. A but leaves the armory for the range every two hours. As an instance of the damage done by the wind of Saturday night, it might be mentioned that Capt. Schumacher had 20 sacks of chicken corn blown away, and his neighbor Max Nebelung suffered the loss of a large number of pampas plumes. There were numerous other light losses sustained by people throughout the valley. Wine is being made by Tim Boerge, Otto Rust, C. Lorenz and Mr. Meyer. Though the crop is short as compared with that previous yeare, the quality is superior. The vineyard area is being gradually extended and although wine is cheap, there are those who look for a return of the wine-making days of former years, when we led them in the manufacture of that toothsome art. The life of a country editor is one continual round of pleasure hereabouts. Here we are scarcely over the effects of getting away with Mr. Hunter's big water melo- Kleinigkeiten.
