HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK An Interesting Session of the Water Board. Another Effort Will Be Made to Enlarge the Water Limits by Taking in a Thousand Acres of Outside Land—Arrest of Three Mexicans Suspected of Burglary and Arson—Conductor Culp's Freight Train Thrown off the Track to Avert a Collision With a Redondo Passenger Train—How Marco Foster Came Near Being Arrested At Santa Ana—George Hunter Puts up a Job on a Hawk—Local Brevities—Minor Mention. The water board held a very interesting meeting on Saturday afternoon, and before they adjourned decided to cement the new south side ditch from the termination of the cementing on the East street ditch to the southwestern limits; they also set the ball rolling for another effort to increase the boundaries of the district by the addition of a thousand acres of outside land, and they levied an assessment of a dollar a share. There were present Directors Crowther, Spencer, Nebelung and McFadden. In the absence of the President and Vice President, Mr. Crowther was called upon to preside. Mr. Spencer reported in the matter of getting right of way through Mr. Eyman's land, that he had seen that gentleman and procured the same, and that water was now running through his land to irrigators west of him. Mr. Nebelung of the committee appointed to adjust the losses sustained by Mr. Stone in the burning of a number of his walnut trees by a fire started by the ditch cleaner to clean the ditch of leaves and other rubbish accumulated during a Santa Ana wind, reported that he had examined into the nature of the loss, and while he was satisfied some loss had been sustained, the amount could not be intelligently assessed until the spring when the new growth is put out. Mr. Crowther of the committee acquiesced, and the report was ordered filed, and the matter went over. In the matter of the loss sustained in similar manner by Mrs. Langenberger, the committee reported that about 60 feet of holes along the ditch had been destroyed. ter, stockholders of the company, to meet with them on Nov. 16th, for the purpose of conferring with a view to extending the water limits, to take in approximately 1000 acres. It is the purpose of the board to arrive at some amicable understanding with the stockholders taking sides against them in the recent effort to enlarge the district, as well as to meet with those approving it, to the end that the lines may be so placed and such outsiders taken in, as to minify the object to enlargement at another stockholders' election. Mr. Spencer brought up the matter of laying a pipe line near Brookshurst, which had been laid on the table pending the recent stockholders' election on the question of enlargement. There are 800 and some odd feet requiring piping, and as on the recent advertising for bids Mr. Schade had been the lowest bidder, his bid being 74 cents per foot. Mr. Spencer moved that he be instructed to proceed with the work. Mr. Schade arose and said that he had written the Secretary advising him he had concluded to withdraw his bid. He stated that his action was based upon the fact that he could not do the work so cheaply during the rainy season as during dry weather, and as the rains were now he thought close at hand, he had decided to withdraw his bid. The board decided to advertise for bids for doing the work, the same to be submitted at the next meeting. An assessment of one dollar per share was levied, payable immediately, delinquent Dec. 7th, and if not paid before, to be sold Jan. 4th. The engineer was instructed to run a line from the East street cement ditch to the center of G. A. Hunter's property and thence westerly to the corner of Broad and Los Angeles streets, the same to be used as the line of the cementing of the new canal running thence to the southwestern limits. Adjourned. THREE SUSPICIOUS MEXICANS. DR. FLOURNOY'S BOOKS, LEFT IN HIS OFFICE THE NIGHT OF THE FIRE, FOUND IN THEIR POSSESSION. Constable Bittner arrested three Mexicans on Sunday afternoon whom he caught in the act of attempting to sell a medical volume belonging to Dr. Flournoy, and which had been taken from the Doctor's office, recently destroyed by fire, after that gentleman left the premises to go to his home the evening before. There has existed a well-defined suspicion that this fire was of incendiary origin, the fact that none of the Doctor's implements were found in the debris the morning after the fire tending to show that they had been abstracted therefrom, presumably by the parties who set the house on fire. The capture of the Mexicans, and subsequent discovery in their possession of a number of Kleinigkeiten. The mountains are covered with quite bit of snow, which has an appreciable amount to .69 of an inch. R. Luedke and wife have brought against A. Goldthwaite to recover $ upon a promissory note. The first rain of the season fell on day and Sunday night, the precipitation amounting to .69 of an inch. Mr. Rugg has retired from the edifice management of the Independent, and Bourland will in future go it alone. A squirrel inhabited the hole at the of electric-light pole at Federman's nest, but the rains came down and washed the blooming begger out. There will be morning prayer and Communion at St. Michael's Episcopal church next Sunday at 11 o'clock. Rev. Spiller will officiate. Ah Sam, the Celestial who attempted an assault upon a little girl near Ger Grove, and who jumped his $400 cash has been heard from at Victoria, B.C. The sound of the saw and hammer heard in the land, and every breeze is left with the indications of a coming buildup. In another column will be found an vertisement from County Clerk Brookling for bids for building of a protector to Fifth-street bridge at Santa Ana. The tent of the Seventh Day Adventure in which services were held on Clause Street has been moved to Los Angeles, where Rev. Howe is attending camp meeting. Butcher Fleischman has added to appearance of his meat market by giving interior coat of paint, whihob with the acid glamour of the newly installed electric lights gives it a neat and tasty appearance. Three members of Company G tried by court-martial at the Armory Saturday evening. The findings have forwarded to Brig.-Gen. Last, and the reed of his decision is looked for in a few days. Up to Monday evening $4,450 of taxes had been collected by Marshal Stroman, the biggest day's work being on Saturday, when about $1,500 was paid in. A $300 remains delinquent. A note from Rev. Kogler is to-the-feet that there will be German Luther services at the Episcopal church next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Kogler there will be a meeting after the service. The Supervisors have awarded Kuehler & Stone of this city the job of covering Fifth-street bridge at Santa Ana with Mr. Nebelung of the committee appointed to adjust the losses sustained by Mr. Stone in the burning of a number of his walnut trees by a fire started by the ditch cleaner to clean the ditch of leaves and other rubbish accumulated during a Santa Ana wind, reported that he had examined into the nature of the loss, and while he was satisfied some loss had been sustained, the amount could not be intelligently assessed until the spring when the new growth is put out. Mr. Crowther of the committee acquiesced, and the report was ordered filed, and the matter went over. In the matter of the loss sustained in similar manner by Mrs. Langenberger, the committee reported that about 60 feet of hedge along the ditch had been destroyed, and a number of walnut trees more or less damaged. Mrs. Langenberger had replaced the fence with a new wire fence at an expense of $15 50, and this amount the committee had agreed to allow. A warrant in that amount was accordingly drawn in her favor, and it appearing that the ditch cleaner, Herr Holste, who once held a warrant of the company for such an unconscionable length of time that the board had to pass a resolution ordering him to surrender it and get his money, whereupon he replied that he thought the warrant was money, but it wasn't—it appearing that the gentleman was culpably negligent in letting the fire get away from him, he was docked in the amount of $15 50, and ordered to appear and show cause why the same should not be taken out of his wages. Secretary Blennnerhassett reported as follows: Cash on hand Oct. 1. $10 04 Water sales-North Anaheim 528 28 " " Anahelm... 126 07 Sale of old lumber 15 00 Bills payable. 6,400 00 Paid Treasurer. 7,059 67 On hand Nov. 2. $19 72 Treasurer Goldwater reported a balance on hand of $11,845 79. Superintendent Sheppard reported the ditch expenses during the month to have been $503 95, and construction account, $116 75; total, $620 70. He recommended the cementing of a portion of Orangethorpe ditch from Alex Gardiner's southeast corner to Skinner and Holverson's southeast corner, this being in especially porous soil; recommended the construction of two chutes on Cajon ditch, one above the Zanjero's house, and one at Flume 4, the old one having rotted out. The Engineer was instructed to put in a day in looking over these places and to report at the next meeting on the plaps, cost and practicability of the work, the Superintendent to accompany him. The Finance Committee reported bills audited to the amount of $1,335 21, and warrants were ordered drawn in payment of them. Engineer Rogers reported that he had examined the four fills up the ditch recommended to be cemented by the Superintendent, and was of the opinion that they ought to be cemented, they being in danger of washing out by squirrels and gophers burrowing in the ground. Altogether there were 1150 linear feet in the four fills. He estimated the cost at $2,700. The cementing of the Browning ditch had been completed, and Clarence Groat had done a good job, although the ditch had not yet been gone over and accepted by the Ditch committee. An interesting error in the estimates furnished by Engineer Kieffer had, however, been discovered. Mr. Kieffer had estimated the number of cubic yards of back filling necessary at 927, whereas the contractor had found the job required 2,787 cubic yards, an excess above the estimates of 1,860 cubic yards. This cost Groat 30 cents a yard to put in, and as the work was necessary to the completion of the ditch, the board allowed him $558 therefor. The mistake in the estimates gave rise to considerable discussion. Mr. Spencer saying Groat had been deceived in them and holding that the board ought to recompense him for the extra hauling. Constable Bittner arrested three Mexicans on Sunday afternoon whom he caught in the act of attempting to sell a medical volume belonging to Dr. Flournoy, and which had been taken from the Doctor's office, recently destroyed by fire, after that gentleman left the premises to go to his home the evening before. There has existed a well-defined suspicion that the fire was of no incendiary origin, the fact that none of the Doctor's implements were found in the debris the morning after the fire tending to show that they had been abstracted therefrom, presumably by the parties who set the house on fire. The capture of the Mexicans, and the subsequent discovery in their possession of a number of medical books belonging to the Doctor, offers an easy solution to the origin of the fire. The Mexicans had sold one of the books to Louie Bolz, who soon discovered to whom the volume belonged, and he informed Constable Bittner regarding the matter. The Mexicans were found in the French saloon attempting to dispose of another book belonging to the Doctor, when one of the men, who gave his name as Juan Maria, and who had the book in his possession, was placed under arrest. A search among their efforts in lot to the rear of the saloon revealed the presence of a number of medical works, all belonging to the Doctor, and which must have been taken from his office before the fire. On being confronted with these evidences of his guilt Maria tried to escape, by beating a hasty flight out of the saloon and skipping around the adjacent squares, but he was recaptured and with both of his companions was placed in jail. On Monday District Attorney Ballard advised against that individual for larceny, charging him with entering the burglarized premises and abracting the books therefrom. It is clear that it Maria entered the premises and stole the books he is guilty of burglary, and burglary in the first degree, for the house was entered in the night time, and the place was set on fire after the burglary. There is also a charge of arson to be pressed against these men, if guilty, and the fact that the stolen articles were found in their possession would seem to be sufficient to warrant holding them for examination. We think that when Judge Ballard's attention is called to these matters he will dismiss the charge of larceny and arrest Maria and his pals for burglary and arson. If they are guilty of larceny, they are guilty of burglary, and if guilty of burglary, they are undoubtedly likewise guilty of the greater crime of arson. ALMOST A SMASHUP. CONDUCTOR CULP'S FREIGHT TRAIN THROWN INTO THE DITCH TO AVERT A BAD COLLISION. A very bad collision between a Southern Pacific freight train in charge of Conductor Culp and a Santa Fe passenger on the Redondo road was narrowly averted at Nadeau junction where both roads cross and the Santa Fe maintains the signalman at the semiphore, early yesterday morning. The freight train southbound was running at a rate of nine or ten miles an hour, and when approaching the signal tower Engineer Jones saw the white lights displayed, which meant the track was clear and to come ahead. The signalman failed to note the approaching passenger, which was running at a rapid speed toward the tower on other track, with white lights displayed for it also. Engineer Jones could not see ahead and was consequently unconscious of the danger that threatened a collision, and was pulling his train along in response to the white lights, when suddenly when within a short Saturday evening. The findings have no forwarded to Brig-Gen. Last, and there is no decision for in a few days. Up to Monday evening $4,450 of taxes had been collected by Marshal Stuart man, the biggest day's work being on Sunday day, when about $1,500 was paid in. At $300 remains delinquent. A note from Rev. Kogler is to-the-feet that there will be German Luther services at the Episcopal church next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Kogler is there will be a meeting after the service. The Supervisors have awarded Kuehl & Stone of this city his job of covering Fifth-street bridge at Santa Ana with phaltum, at 80 cents per yard, they bring to lowest bidders. Every word, every sentence in an ad, H. Harris & Co., inspires confidence. Never promise too much, as they expect make good their promises. With principle like this firm has and with such strenuous values in every department they are bound to be successful. Monday was the first day that Hickel Dickel had put in an appearance at his since the preceding Wednesday even having been confined to his home with acute attack of pleurisy.

Five troublesome tramps who had carousing in their favorite gum grove near Southern Pacific depot in rain on Sunday afternoon were banished by Judge Pierce Monday to five days in lock-up at San Ana. State Mineralogist J. J. Crawford has thanked for a copy of this recently issued volume on California gold mill practice Any resident of State may obtain a copy of its work free by enclosing three copies postage to the office of State Mineralogy at San Francisco. A gang of tramps started a fire in a car standing on side track atthe Sa Fe depot Tuesday evening, and but for prompt interference of Agent Claybaugh car would have been seriously damaged not consumed.

Gilbert Lawrie Newbold,rising622 North Fifth street,Camden,N. completed, and Clarence Groat had done a good job, although the ditch had not as yet been gone over and accepted by the Ditch committee. An interesting error in the estimates furnished by Engineer Kieffer had, however, been discovered. Mr. Kieffer had estimated the number of cubic yards of back filling necessary at 927, whereas the contractor had found the job required 2,787 cubic yards, an excess above the estimates of 1,860 cubic yards. This cost Groat 30 cents a yard to put in, and as the work was necessary to the completion of the ditch, the board allowed him $558 thereafter. The mistake in the estimates gave rise to considerable discussion. Mr. Spencer saying Groat had been deceived in them and holding that the board ought to recompense him for the extra hauling. The extra charge for pipe put in at Ernest Browning's crossing amounted to $12 37, and that at M. B. Stewart's place cost $9 15. The Secretary was instructed to forward bills for the same. All the reports were filed. The Engineer was instructed to draw plans for the cementing of 300 feet of ditch on Orangethorpe avenue previously referred to. Mr. McFadden brought up the matter of the price of pipe charged for by Gus Schade, and suggested that further bids be asked for the work to be done on the eight or nine crossings to be put in, and adding that other pipe men would probably do the work cheaper than the figures at hand. The engineer was empowered to procure bids, and delegated power to act. Gray Bros. & Ward were allowed $2,000 for work on the Placentia ditch, the engineer's estimates showing them to be entitled, according to the terms of the contract, to $2,092 90. For the ditch at Browning's Contractor Groat was found to be entitled to $3,052 30, seventy-five per cent of which ($2,289 25) he was, according to the contract, entitled to immediately on acceptance of the work by the Ditch Committee.

Hunjunction where both roads cross and the Santa Fe maintains the signalman at the semiphore, early yesterday morning. The freight train southbound was running at a rate of nine or ten miles an hour, and when approaching the signal tower Engineer Jones saw the white lights displayed, which meant the track was clear and to come ahead. The signalman failed to note the approaching passenger, which was running at a rapid speed toward the tower on the other track, with white lights displayed for it also. Engineer Jones could not see ahead and was consequently unconscious of the danger that threatened a collision, and was pulling his train along in response to the white lights, when suddenly when within a short distance of the crossing, the signalman threw out the red lights, the sign of danger. It was too late to stop either train, and to avoid a collision the signalman threw open the switch so that the freight might be thrown from the track, in order to save the passenger train from the wreck and probable loss of life that would have resulted from a collision. Engineer Jones reversed the engine and applied the air, and he and his fireman jumped. The engine and several cars went off the track, but luckily very little damage was done. The engineer's air coupling was broken, but there was otherwise no bad breaks. The freight was delayed six hours and pulled through at about half-past 12. PLACENTIA POINTERS. I have not seen anything lately from your correspondent, he being probably too busy. Nearly everyone here has had more than he could do of late, and help has been very scarce.

Lawrie Newbold, residing at Fifth street, Camden, N.J., wrote that he is busy engaging as secretary of the beet growers' association in balancing up the accounts between the farmers and the association. The scales and beet dump cost them $852, the loading account (dumping the beets from the platform into the care), was $530, and the joint account with Buena Park, for book-keeper, chemist and check-tareman, $713, a total approximate expense account of $2095, to be apportioned among the farmers according to their shipments. Certificates of stock in the platform and scales will be issued the farmers according to the tonnage shipped. An assessment of twenty cents per ton was collected during the season, but so economically was the campaign conducted that there will probably be a rebate of 9 cents per ton. Silkwood's colors were again trailed in the dust at the race meeting of the Trotting Horse Breeders' association in Los Angeles on Saturday. The beat he could do was to come in third in a field of four, and twice he trailed in fourth, with Wood, Pathunont and Seymour Wilkes ahead of him. To use a track expletive, Willet's nag was never in it, and the other horses didn't do a thing to him. Wood took the first, third and fourth heats handily, the second falling to Pathmont in 2:10; Wood breaking badly in this beat and coming in fourth. The bay's time was 2:07—2:11—2:16. Thus has Silkwood been badly beaten in the three races in which he has entered this year. The result proves again for the hundredth time that no horse, be there never such another, can hope to win races when in lack of condition against such campanners as have been entered to meet him during the recent races. In Willet's hands this horse, that once held out promises of beating the world, will in another year be quite a backbone—he escaped that, if at all, very narrowly during the three recent race meets. What would this horse not have done in Raymond's or Charley Durfee's hands? S. W. Wallace, an honest farmer living at Newport, where he had been in the employ of Mrs. Wakeham for a number of years, went to Los Angeles with a load of hogs which he disposed of advantageously and returned to the ranch, but immediately skipped out without turning over to his employer any of the collateral, amounting to several hundred dollars. For several days it was impossible to locate him, and many were the theories as to the cause of his disappearance. Fears of fool play were not infrequent, but those in a position to know said that Wallace was in the wicked Angelica city "blowing himself" on Mrs. Wakeham's money. This latter prediction proved to be correct for on Tuesday Wallace telegraphed a friend at Santa Ana to meet him with a rig at the Main street crossing, and both drove in a round way to the ranch. Here the erring brother, on promising to square his accounts, and paying a satisfactory sum to begin with, was forgiven and taken back; but he never wants to go to Los Angeles with a load of hogs again. Wallace must have had an interesting time while the money lasted, and is said to have left a lurid red streak in his wake from Main street clear over into Boyle Heights. George Hunter was out in his watermelon patch the other day bringing in the last of the melons to feed to the hogs, when he espied a large chicken hawk feasting itself upon the carcass of a particularly fat and well-grown hen. He turned his horse's Odd Fellows' lodge in the evening. He informs us they are pumping oil from thirty-three wells. Tailor Crist and family move back to their residence in the rear of tailor shop, and Druggist Derga has rented his recently vacated residence on Broadway. Mr. Derge looks for the arrival of his father and mother and sister from the East. Rev Hawkins of the Christian Church has prepared a circular letter to be mailed to the different church organizations throughout the country making an earnest appeal for alms to be devoted to the erection of a Christian church in this city. Rev H. Elliott Ward, formerly of this city but for some time past a resident of Paradens, has been arrested for criminal libel on complaint of a druggist of that city, who charges him with rockless and libulous utterances from the pulpit concerning him in the domineer's crusade against the sale of liquor. G.H. Green, Secretary of the Southern California Exchange Bureau, has been in town several days in the interest of the exchange, the object of which is to do a general real estate business. Mr. Green anticipates a large influx of settlers to this section and reports considerable inquiry concerning reality hereabouts. Rev Holocem informs us that there will be preaching in the Methodist church next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, followed by communion service. It rained so hard last Sunday that Holocem found it impossible to get over. The quarterly conference will be held in the church at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. John Hartung was roused from his numbers shortly before midnight Sunday night by a whisper from his better half that there were burglars in the house, and jumping up and seizing his trusty revolver, which John sleeps with under his pillow, he saliled forth to gire them a warm reception. Noises and flickering lights darting about came from the other room, tending to the impression that the burglars were armed with a bull's-eye lantern. John was about to blow them into smithereens, when he discovered that the trouble was all caused by the disarrangement of the electric light wires in front of the house. The excess of illumination, rising and falling, while the wires emitted noise like the wailing of a legion of lost spirits in El Modena, had flickered brightly through the window and conspired to raise the alarm, and the trouble was not at an end until the lights were all turned out at the power house. Mr. Geo. Gray, senior member of the well-known cement contracting firm of Gray Bron & Ward, was in town Tuesday having come down with his wife and child from San Francisco to pass some weeks in Los Angeles. Mr. Gray came down to inspect the cement work done on the Placentia ditch, and in company of Mr. Ward visited young walnut orchard southwest of town, which is one of its finest walnut orchards said that this enterprise firm of contractors do the bulk of cement work in San Francisco, a recent visit to the metropolis pointing out the fact that they had forces of men at work upon the foundations of nearly all large buildings going up in the town; and to judge from Mr. Gray's remarks while here, the firm have not lost their grip in the art of getting contracts. They have recently finished the concrete foundation for the new ferry depot, and are engaged in putting down the foundation for the new Call fifteen-story edifice on the corner where we were once going to put up a newspaper office ourself. Mr. Gray noted the evidences of advancement since he was here to attendthe Fiesta last May, and returned tothe Angelic Major Halpin was in town on Saturday evening in attendance upon Company court-martial as presiding officer.
