LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Conflict Between the City and Water Company. Marshal Steadman Receives Instructions from the Council to Dam up the Ditches on Sycamore and Olive Streets — A Local Comedy of Errors—Meeting of Beet Growers—A Proposition from Capitalists to Buy the Bonds, Erect the Factory and Take Four-Fifths of It When the Debt is Paid—Not Favorably Received—Competitive Drill on Thanksgiving Day—theft of Mr. Benchley's Walnuts—Local Brevities—Minor Mention. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening, Mayor Rust in the chair, and the full board present. Marshal Steadman reported the collection of $180 25 for licenses during October, $137 45 for water, and $159 15 for lights, a total of $479 85, which had less his usual 5 per cent commission, been turned into the treasury. He reported the collection of $4,491 21 for city taxes, and $277 71 delinquent. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance in the general fund in favor of the town of $4,232 87, and in the Interest and Sinking fund of $718 50. Clerk Nebelung's financial report for the month showed $5,682 77 on hand at the beginning of October, against which had been drawn warrants to the amount of $1,410 91, leaving a balance of $4,232 86; balance in improvement fund $678 45; electric light fund, $34 08; total $4,946 39. He also reported the collection of $214 18 for personal property taxes, which, less his usual 5 per cent commission ($32 13), had been turned into the treasury. Recorder Pierce reported the collection of $12 from fines. Engineer Des Granges reported the installing of lights for F. W. Fleishman, J. Schauman, J. J. Everharty and at the armory; also renewal for H. Cahen, Town Hall, and Company G. Water connections had been made for the Deutsch place and the Christian church. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported a car of coal had been purchased for the electric light works, and that all reports of officers had been examined and approved. Trustee McWilliams of the Public Improvements Committee reported that he had had the street grader out for half a day going over the full length of Los Angeles street; also on Broadway from Olive to Mr. Fay's place, and on Olive from Broadway to Sycamore. of Streets be instructed to fill up the ditch at the alley. For a time there was no second. Finally McWilliams seconded it, and it was carried and the board adjourned. This little opera bouffe sparring match between the town council and water company may develop into a lawsuit, and make work for the lawyers, but we cannot see what other outcome is sought for to be attained. OBSTRUCTIONS PLACED IN THE DITCHES. Yesterday Marshal Steadman placed a dam in the cement ditch on Sycamore street and two in the ditch on Olive street. The outcome of this comedy of errors will be watched with interest not only by irrigators using the ditches but by the entire community as well. THE BEET-GROWERS NO QUORUM AT SATURDAY'S MEETING, BUT AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION ENGAGED IN ABOUT A NEW AND SOMEWHAT NERVY PROPOSITION. The stockholders of the co-operative beet sugar company met at Kroeger's Hall on Saturday afternoon, and in the absence of a quorum held an informal meeting and had submitted to their consideration a proposition "for the immediate erection of the factory" which it is hardly probable they will entertain. The proposition, which seems to have been offered as having the endorsement of the Directors, is briefly this: That a syndicate of Eastern capitalists, whose names and addresses the stockholders must content themselves to learn later, stand ready to purchase the $400,000 of the company's bonds at 90 cents on the dollar (paying therefor the sum of $360,000), and to begin immediate operations upon the erection of the factory buildings, and have them up and ready for the manufacture of sugar by the lst of July, 1896. So far the proposition met with favor, although it is doubtful if work could begin, what with the necessity for building a railroad to the factory site, and the other conditions precedent to the actual beginning of operations, in time to have the factory ready for the campaign at the time stated. This syndicate of capitalists desired in return to be accorded a majority of the representation upon the Board of Directors, to which there would probably be no objection. But the next condition sent the stockholders' hopes aglimmering. It was nothing less than that, after the factory had been operated until such time as to be unnumbered of its indebtedness, the bondholders would step in and claim four-fifths of the sugar house, the farmers to take the remaining fifth. As the company was formed under these identical conditions, with the single exception that the factory, when out of debt, would revert to the farmers in whole and not in part, the proposition met with very little favor. The meeting was called to order by Dr. Van Norman, who was chosen chairman. He announced that the object for which he Engineer Des Granges reported the installation of lights for F. W. Fleishman, J. Schauman, J. J. Everhardy and at the armory; also renewal for H. Cahen, Town Hall, and Company G. Water connections had been made for the Deutsch place and the Christian church. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported a car of coal had been purchased for the electric light works, and that all reports of officers had been examined and approved. Trustee McWilliams of the Public Improvements Committee reported that he had had the street grader out for half a day going over the full length of Los Angeles street; also on Broadway from Olive to Mr. Fay's place, and on Olive from Broadway to Sycamore. Trustee Lewis of the Ordinance Committee reported an ordinance closing up streets in the Langenberger tract. Trustee Coord of the special committee appointed to interview the Southern Pacific to see whether they could spare any water from their tank at the depot for the sprinkling of West Center street, reported that he had interviewed Agent Darling and had been informed that the company had no water to spare now, but that in the spring, when they contemplate putting up a larger tank, they would be pleased to accommodate the city. Attorney Chynoweth made a report on the outcome of the case brought by the city against the Water Company to eject the latter from Sycamore and Olive streets, saying a decision had been given by the Superior Court in favor of the town. Sheriff Nichols had on Monday placed the Trustees in possession of both thoroughfares, by driving with a majority of the Board and the City Marshal to the streets in question and formally turning them over to the municipality. A bid was received from the Sunset Telegraph Company, offering $75 for a franchise to build and operate a Telephone Exchange in town. Accepted, and the franchise awarded them. A bid was received from Clarence Groat for the putting down of a cement sidewalk and curb on the Center street side of the park at the corner of that thoroughfare and Los Angeles boulevard. Mr. Groat offered to do the work for ten cents per square foot for the cement, and thirty-two cents for the curb. This being the only bid, the work was awarded him, and a resolution of award passed by the Board and ordered to print. The Clark announced that no proposals for the construction of asphaltum crosswalks had been received. The matter was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements, with power to act. Three crosswalks will be put in at the corner of Lemon and Center streets, one having already been constructed there, and four will be laid at crossing of Los Angeles and Center and others about town. Capt. Mitchell of Pasadena, who had been present during the deliberations of the council, arrose at this juncture and stated that he had come down to meet with the burgee meisters in reference to their purpose of putting down a sidewalk on the Center street side of his park in the center of the city. He stated that he had put down a sidewalk once, and did not think he ought to be required to put down another. He offered to repair such patches of the old sidewalk as had caved in or broken, but Mayor Rust informed him that he was out of order, in that the award had already been made, and that time for objection had passed. Contract and bond of Billy Berdrow for street sprinkling, with Joseph Bennerscheidt and F. A. Backs as sureties, in the sum of $1,000, submitted, approved and ordered filed. The salary is $267 per day, and the area to be sprinkled is the length of Center street from the Santa Fe depot to a point 600 feet west of Palm, Los Angeles from Broadway to Cyprus, and Lemon street from Chartreuse to Chestnut. The contract is for two years, and stipulates that the streets shall be sprinkled, except on such days as may be found unnecessary, from 5 A.M. to 6 P.M. Petition of A. D. Porter asking permission to occupy part of sidewalk for material construction upon the Board of Directors, to which there would probably be no objection. But the next condition sent the stockholders' hopes aglimmering. It was nothing less than that, after the factory had been operated until such time as to be unencumbered of its indebtedness, the bondholders would step in and claim four-fifths of the sugar house, the farmers to take the remaining fifth. As the company was formed under these identical conditions, with the single exception that the factory, when out of debt, would revert to the farmers in whole and not in part, the proposition met with very little favor. The meeting was called to order by Dr. Van Norman, who was chosen chairman. He announced that the object for which the meeting was called was the taking of steps either to disorganize the company or to maintain the organization. Upon roll call only 1,389 shares were found to be represented, not enough to constitute a quorum, and the meeting resolved itself into an informal one, and the discussion of dissolution was proceeded with. Dr. Van Norman stated that he had lately returned from the East, and had encountered a great deal of interest throughout the Eastern money markets in reference to bonds, but in his opinion no bonds could be sold until after the 5th of next November, when it is expected, he said, that a change in the administration would greatly facilitate their sale. The speaker said he found no lack of money ready to be invested in sugar bonds, but the trouble was there was no money in the manufacture of beet sugar according to the present state of the market. He argued that it would be unwise to disorganize the corporation. H. A. Pierce addressed the assemblage and presented a proposition from Eastern capitalists, whose names he declined to give, who said he are ready to purchase the bonds of the company at 90 cents on the dollar, but desired a controlling interest in the Board of Directors and four-fifths of the works when the debt on the factory is paid. The profits from institution, according to this proposition, are to go to paying off the indebtedness, interest and running expenses, and the farmers are to bind themselves to raise beets and take market price for them. When the factory is out of debt, the bondholders will own four-fifths of the factory and the farmers one-fifth. The proposition was not very favorably entertained, and a motion was made by J. B. Cameron, who voiced the sentiments of a number of farmers, to refer the proposition to the waste basket. Gov. Whitaker moved that the motion be tabled and offered one instructing the Board of Directors to entertain the proposition favourably and try to gain something better from the capitalists. A number of the farmers were constrained to look upon the proposition with disfavor. Mr. Faewett of Westminster being most enthusiastic in attacking the offer, saying that all the "turkey was on other side of the fence and he did not care to eat crow," which he argued would be the case were the farmers to bind themselves to the contract offered. The farmers furnish the security and mortgage their lands, and it is their money used practically in erecting the factory, and consequently they should be entitled to receive more than a fifth interest. Something better may come out of a further correspondence between the capitalists and the Board of Directors. CARD FROM MR.

KIEFFER EDITOR GAZETTE:—In your report of the Water Company's meeting for Nov. 2nd you state that Engineer Rogers reported that "an interesting mistake, however, had been discovered" in the estimate made by me for the yardage of the Browning ditch, whereby an excess of 1860 yards of earth had to be handled by the contractor. This statement is misleading and is liable to work me an injury that is entirely unmerited. Engineer Rogers knew, by virtue of a conversation held with me previous to the meeting, that no error in my preliminary estimates had been made, and it was therefore a great surprise to me to learn that his explanation to the Board had conveyed any such impression. He informs me he had no desire or intention to present the facts in any other than the following light. Your report states that my estimated backfill was 927 yards, while the final estimate of Engineer Rogers was 2787 yards. As a matter of fact, as can be seen from the profile, my estimate was very close to 2400 yards, based upon earth to be taken from the hill (the only available place then considered) that would stand a slope of 1 to 1, whereas the fill was eventually put in with material taken from the sandwash and adjacent land, and of so sandy a nature that its natural slope was fully 1½ to 1—which fact alone would more than account for the difference between Engineer Rogers' 2787 and my 2400 yards estimates. Of this 2400 yards I estimated that 927 yards would have to be hauled, and the balance could be secured from the adjacent roads and property—a policy pursued in the construction of all the cement ditches put in by the company. However, the property owners and read supervisor objected to the borrowing during the construction, and necessitated hauling the additional earth required. Every emergency cannot be foreseen, and consequently it is an established rule in the drawing up of engineering specifications to make proper provisions for such change of plans as may become necessary as the work progresses, and in conformity with this provision the contractor is also, in common justice, given the privilege of making claim for extra work it has been incurred. Respectfully yours, STEPHEN E. KIEFFER Wanted. A. U. W. Co. stock. I will pay cash for stock in the Anaheim Union Water Co. NEWMAN ESSICK, Box 5, Fullerton, Cal. Kleinigkeiten.

Everharty has disposed of his valuable business to E. P. Fowler.

Interesting notice to contractors, or bids for the erection of the new hall to be erected at Santa Ana, will open on the second page this morning. It found worthy of perusal by our colleague the Santa Ana people are wrestling the proposition to get along with cars, we frequently see two street city at once, making connections in depot on the arrival of trains, times it is almost necessary for usurce. We are the people. Job of putting in the cement crossword yesterday awarded to Kuebler & Zincers persquare foot. Four crossword be put in at the corner of Center Angeles streets and three others at street corner, as well as others at parts of town. Prices at which the Red Front are their youths' and boys' clothing it is wondered at that they are continued in their Boys' Department, but know exactly what the people they sell them at Rock Bottom lead their new advertisement in setting of the "life members" of the county fair association is called to sit at City Hall at Santa Ana on October of the 23rd instant to consider The case of Juan Maria Engla, charged with 'burglarizing Dr. Flournoy's office and stealing therefrom a number of medical works the evening preceding the burning of the building some weeks ago, which was tried in Judge Pierce's court on Monday, resulted in the discharge of the prisoner, District Attorney Ballard holding that the evidence against him was insufficient to convict. Engla testified that he found the books in a sack in the sandwash and not knowing to whom they belonged brought them into town and sold one for fifty cents. He was accordingly released. Meantime, the question arises. How came those books in the sandwash? Mike Reagan has become the new proprietor of the Club, having acquired possession by purchase from John Everharty a day or two ago, and is now ready to wait upon his friends at his resort with characteristic affability. Mike makes a good looking host, and his general build is such as to inspire respect in the most hardened breast, because he is able to throw a fellow out with neatness and dispatch. But we assure everybody that Mike would never think of anything of the kind; that he will be found a good fellow, and deserving of a share of the public patronage. He has secured the services, at great expense, of an experienced caterer from abroad (who is a nobleman in disguise) Signor Wetzelowski of Kansas City, who will wear diamonds pretty soon, and who always does his best to entertain customers. Ah there, Sport! The news from Florida regarding the orange crop is not such as to embarrass the California growers, on the contrary quite the reverse. The crop will not be over 100,000 boxes, whereas the average crop is in the neighborhood of 5,000,000. The cause of the small yield was the frost of last January, which killed many fruit trees of all kinds throughout the state. The scarcity of oranges will cause a temporary rise in price until the crops from other sections arrive in market. Jamaica oranges will arrive in the Eastern markets soon after the holidays. Later they will get some oranges from Sicily, Valencia, Spain, and finally the crop from this state. Freight cargoes and duties on foreign products will serve to keep prices at a slight advance over those of former years. Henry Bach, the jovial representative of Bach, Meese & Co., the San Francisco wholesale wine merchants, was in town several days this week in the interest of his firm. Mr. Bach informs us that he awoke the other morning and found himself famous. It seems a gentleman living in his block, and sporting the same name, objected to his wife wearing bloomers, and one day while the lady was about to enter Golden Gate park on her wheel her irate husband came upon her and was ungallant enough to tear her bloomers from her person. The papers commented upon the matter extensively the next morning, and one Eastern pictorial journal made the occurrence the object of a cartoon. Our young friend Bach got the benefit of it all, and has had quite a time PERSONAL MENTION. Col. Northam was in town from La Mirada on Monday. Mr. Hoy drove over in his trap from his Villa Park ranch on Tuesday, accompanied by Mrs. Hoy, and went to Brookshurst on a short visit. District Attorney Ballard and Miss King, court stenographer, were in attendance at Judge Pierce's court on Monday at the trial of the Mexican burglary case. Matt Everhardy was down from Los Angeles on Tuesday to buy a band of sheep from Jean Allec. At latest accounts they had not agreed upon the price. Newman Essick, secretary of the Placentia orange-growers' association, has prepared a voluminous and highly interesting annual report which will probably be mailed to stockholders to-day. Tom Gomber and wife were in town one day last week, accompanied by his sister and brother-in-law. They have decided to leave Milwaukee, where they have resided for years, and will take up their residence in Los Angeles. Sherif Nichols was town on Monday putting the City Trustees in possession of Sycamore and Olive streets as a result of their legal tilt with the water company; and again on Tuesday serving summons on Grand Jurors to appear in court on Monday next. Major Drillif has been named as Lieutenant-Colonel and assistant Adjutant-General on the staff of Brigadier-General Last of the First brigade. Col. Drillif was quite prominently mentioned for Adjutant-General at the time of Gov. Budd's inauguration. Ed White was in town on Saturday, having driven up from Valley Center, San Diego county, by way of South Riverside to spend some days visiting with relatives at Westminster. He informs us the farmers down his way have had good crops, the honey yield being especially favorable. Judge Egan came down from Los Angeles on Monday evening to attend the concert. The Judge was recently re-elected one of the Directors of the Santa Fe railroad system, is in the enjoyment of his usual health, and is in other respects getting along quite well. Deputy Beckett of the County Clerk's office at Santa Ana was encountered on the promenade in town one day last week, clad all in a new suit of navy blue and mustard-colored shoes, a bran new hat and a pocket fell of silver. How is it these county officials all wear such good clothes when they come to Anaheim? The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer. Tony Adams left on Monday morning for Long Beach, where he will go into the butter business. Tony is one of our most estimable young men, popular with every body, and his departure will be regretted. But we hope he will do well in his new home, and come over to see us occasionally. He is Second Lieutenant of Company G, and informs us he will be over to take part in visit to Sacramento, whether he wants official examination of the new electric plant in that city. The power for that at capital city comes from the dam, some twenty miles distant about the same distance from Rivera;the power-house of the Redlands company, which will furnish the pots-the lights in that town, and Sharp-north will no doubt be of special importance for the preparation of the new system that now engaged in putting in. Our friend Goldwater had a surprise party sprung upon him a fewings ago, and for a time his hair stained like quills upon the back of their porcupine. He had gone into thief to leave his bicycle, along toward high 7 o'clock in the evening, and had turnedthe electric lights, when as he was enlisted in the act of leaning the wheel against wall, the lights went out, leaving him darkness, and his surprise changed into alarm when he was able to discover rear door standing open. Visions of robbers danced through his mind bravely grabbed his pistol and bolstered into where the thieves were sure to be in hiding. Calling out,"Who's and receiving no response he was praised to blaze away and blow them into green;s when suddenly the lights were again,the darkness having been caused temporary defect in the wires,and thus lumination showed that there was no present except himself and the wheel; rear door had been left open by the swainand this was soon closed and lockedGoldwater sallied forth to tell of A robberies in the early days.

Judge Pierce on being called in from the sidewalk, where he stood talking with some friends after looking up the jury, announced the verdict, and remarked that the promptness of returning it reminded him of a case before another Justice of the Peace once upon a time who had a prisoner up for stealing a hog. The jury promptly found him not guilty, and when questioned as to their baste in arriving at the verdict, the jurors replied that they had all had some of the pork. We don't know whether the local jury had any of the walnuts or not, but we can testify to the fact that Mr. Benchley raises first class walnuts, because the sack of nuts which Mr. Teck's partner left behind him was brought into court as an exhibit, and we have called upon the Judge several times since to see how they are getting along. —Quite a large as well as appreciative audience gathered at the Opera-house on Monday evening, despite the threatening condition of the weather, to attend the concert given by Mr. Opid and the Krauss string quartet of Los Angeles. The fact that the most meritorious compositions of the old masters were arranged for rendition by string quartets, served as well as the fact that the reputation of the artists was so very well known, to draw out many of our music loving population; but there is no doubt that had the rain held off, a much larger audience had been present. The opening number, Mendelsohn's Quartet No. 3, showed in the perfect blending of sound and melody as well as the artistic execution that the excellence of the musicians was very well established indeed. They were enthusiastically applauded, which is true of every number on the program, and they very kindly responded to the demands for an encore. Mr. Opid's two cello solos, Elegie, Opus 62, by W. Fitzenhagen, and Reverie, Opus 20, by E Dunkler, showed the superb work of an artist, which must also be said of Herr Krauss' solo for violin by Sarasate. Those who have heard Sarasate tell us Herr Krauss' playing of this solo was in no way inferior to that of the famous Spanish violinist. We have previously spoken of Mr. Opid's playing—the delicacy of his touch, coupled with the volume of his melody, the artistic fingering and his majestic flights of song. Mr. Opid is out of sight! Mrs. Rogers and Mr. Dickel sang a duet for soprano and baritone. "Silent as the Sea," which was characterized by their usual excellence, and Miss Langenberger's two numbers, "Scene de Ballet," by Chamenade, and Polonaise, Opus 20, Chopin, were capitally rendered and enthusiastically applauded. The quartet, (a) "Andante," by Techaykowski, (b) "Serenata," by Moszkowski, closed a superb musical program, and we shall hope to have the pleasure of hearing Mr. Opid and Herr Krauss and the quartet in future again.
