The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel. Charles Kuchel. EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY... JANUARY 30, 1896. AFTER THE BATTLE IS WON. After an interesting opera bouffe campaign that was not altogether devoid of its humors, although it was characterized by much personal vilification, the annual election for Water Directors has come and gone, and although every vote which could be mustered against the board was by personal solicitation secured to be voted against them, they nevertheless elect five men of the seven voted for, the opposition electing two. It is however distressing to contemplate the fact that no little harm must necessarily have resulted by the hysterical outrage raised against the board by a couple of gentlemen in their mad scramble to displace two of the men upon the board—one of whom succeded in electing himself, the other being defeated. The impression has been permitted to go out broadcast by these two gentlemen, in communications to the public prints and by circulars industriously distributed, where they would do the most good—perhaps we should say where they would do the most harm—that our irrigating system, which is incontestably the superior of any system in Southern California, was upon the verge of bankrupty; that the mismanagement of its affairs was such, and the amount of its bonded indebtedness so appalling, that the bondholders must in justice to themselves step in and take the works, freeze out the farmers whose toil has been given for years to the upbuilding of their splendid irrigating system, and that an autocratic private corporation scheme was hanging like the sword of Damocles above them. Now we submit that the dissemination of this sort of literature was a crime. One of the candidates referred to (Mr. Amerige) circulated a series of infamous and untruthful charges against the integrity of the old board, which were known by men conversant with the situation to be entirely false, and which the report of the Board of Audit conclusively disproves. And he is charged in open meeting with tampering with the report of the auditing committee with the end in view of bolstering up his untruthful statements. He likened the attributable to the expansion of the interest account by some $2,000; by an excess of $1,600 in the item of ditch cleaning; and by $1,000 in the Gardiner matter, which was really lost the year before, but is charged to the account of 1895. Here we have in these three items an amount equaling more than the total increase of the year's expenses, and while the bond expense fund is increased by some $400, the other items of expenditure—these for repairs, general expense, salaries, Superintendent and Zanjeros, the Jurupa litigation and other items—show a very satisfactory and commendable decrease as compared with the same items of the year before. The increased interest payments are attributable to the construction fund, $34,000 of substantial improvements having been made during the year and paid for in bonds. The auditing committee's report is a flattering indorsement of the work of the Directors. It proves that much of the discontent directed toward them for some weeks past was caused by the mad desire of a couple of men for seats upon the board. Had the report been out a week before, probably the result of the election, satifactory as it is, would have added still further laurels to the victory of the board. On the whole the result of the election is such as to commend itself to the average stockholder. Five of the supporters of the old board are returned to office—Messrs. Botsford, Crowther, Nebelung, Spencer and Browning—polling as they do 28,362 votes to 16,755 for Key, Ross and Amerige. Had the votes been equally divided all around, the first five named gentlemen would have received 5,672 each, while the latter would have received 5,585 each; so that the board were clearly right in their contention that they could elect five men. But we hope we shall never have such another campaign. The indebtedness of the company is about $20 per share, and we doubt if a single shareholder would dispose of the water rights guaranteed him by the company for ten times this amount. To the assertion that the bondholders would have to stop in and take the works to protect themselves for the indebtedness of $143,000, we simply reply that dozens of orange groves can be pointed out along Placentia avenue and elsewhere in the district—not to speak of the great volume of other splendid property elsewhere aggregating millions of dollars—that is valued not far below this amount of indebtedness. The debt is well secured—there can be no doubt of that, and henceforth it must be distinguished PRELATES. VISIT OF BISHOP MONTGOMERY, AND RECEPTION AND BANQUET IN HIS HONOR—a LOGICAL TALK, AND TWO ELOQUENT SERMONS. The visit of Right Reverend Bishop Montgomery to this city is cause for felicitation upon the part not only of our Catholic residents, but of those of the non-Catholic faction who had the pleasure of meeting him well. The Bishop was tendered a reception and banquet at the Opera-house by the ladies of the church on Saturday evening, which a very generous response was made by those favored with an invitation to present, and which proved to be a highly interesting and very enjoyable social affair. The hall was tastefully decorated, and two lengthy tables, arranged with all nature's good things in the comestible line, lent very pleasing effect to the scene. Chairs were either side of the tables and down the corner aide provided seats for one of the larger audiences that ever gathered in the hall. The Bishop together with Father Smith of this city and Father Eummelin of Vaucouver occupied seats upon the stage. Adolph Rimpau in a few well-choose words introduced the Bishop to the assemble blage. Prior to the Bishop's address a musical programme of unusual excellence was rendered by local talent. The Misses Rum pan rendered a piano duet which was heartily applauded, Mrs. Rogers sang "A Marie," and Herman Dickel a waltz so from DeKoven, with piano accompaniment by Miss Langenberger. Mr. Lochman fored the audience with a tuba solo, and singing of the Anaheim Leiderkranz, which was the next number, was vociferously praised and the organization responded an encore. August Backs then in a few words in German welcomed the Bishop to the city Anaheim. Father Eummelin also addressed the gathering in German and English, enologized the Bishop, paying the district guilded gentleman a high tribute for an unfinishing labor in behalf of the church. An hour or more was consumed by a Bishop in a masterly address in which maintained that without religion, no matter whatover denomination,the world would suffer to an appalling degree.The constitution ofthe United States was founded up religious principles,andtheevery walk our daily life should be guidedbytheas spirit.He argued thatthe greatest dangerthe world has to contendwithisthefine between laborandcapital,andwere relouisprinciplestobeobligatedfrom soulsofthetolilingmillions,aconflictwouldresultbetweenthetwogreatpowerstheofwhichwouldbedreadfultocontemplateTheBishop took occasion to highly comment Anaheimanditspeople,andsaid The annual report of the Board of Audit of the water company shows a result in the mismanagement of the company's affairs appalling to behold. The amount $145,128,54 figured in the report as the liabilities of the company, does not show the full indebtedness, for there has been an increase of about $30,500 which has not been mentioned in the same, viz: $20,000 for work on the Placentia, Orangethorpe and South Anaheim ditches, now in process of construction and partly paid for. We hazard the assertion that at the time of the beginning of the work of the board, not a dollar of expense had been incurred by the concreting of the Southside ditch—which work Mr. Ross was known to be very much opposed to. All the payments on the Placentia avenue ditch—costing $14,000, not $20,000—made up to the beginning of the year (which includes nearly all of the ditch) are accounted for in the figures of the Board of Audit. The expense of cementing the Southside ditch not having as yet been incurred, it very properly finds no place in the report. Mr. Ross states that the report of the Board of Audit does not show the item of $5,000 due for interest on bonds to Jan. 1. The primary room in the city public school, with a seating capacity of fifty-six, during the present month has had an enrollment of seventy pupils. The consensus of opinion of those who have given this subject careful investigation is that fifty-six is about double the number of pupils that should be placed in charge of any teacher in these grades to secure satisfactory results. Pupils in the first and second grades should have guidance and instruction all the time in all their work, and no individual work is possible where there are so many pupils for one teacher. After considering the matter for several days the Board of Trustees have concluded that the only practical solution of the question of the crowded condition of the primary room was to have half-day sessions; and beginning next Monday, February 3d, the first grade will come to school in the forenoon and the second grade in the afternoon. This arrangement will give each grade three hours of school work each day, under the constant and special care of the teacher all the time; whereas, in whole-day sessions these grades have only four hours of school under the laws of our State, and the time of the teacher must be divided between them, not taking into account necessary interruptions. Half-day sessions will give opportunity for more individual work that is so necessary for primary pupils; for without this individual work little advancement can be made. All patrons of the school that have children old enough to go to school are requested by Prof. Keran to send them next Monday as there will be a class for beginners. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company was held in the town of Anaheim this afternoon, in the office of the water company. The meeting was called to order shortly after 2 o'clock, and it was not long until it became apparent that there would be trouble over the too frequent use of proxies. The fact developed that the same proxies were voted several times, and the next thing in order was to devise some measure of control over what was proposed to be allowed. This work precipitated a wringle which lengthened out, taking up almost the entire afternoon [Santa Ana Correspondence L.A. Times]. The words of a contemptible lying counsel. We do not know where this correspondent procured his information, but it was certainly from no one who was present at the meeting. Certainly no one present at that meeting could utter anything so indelicate, so indefensible, so utterly devoid of truth. No proxy was voted more than once—that is a reflection not only upon the committee on proxies, but upon the entire company and the community as well. No proxies were precipitated and bad this unguished gentleman a high tribute for unfinishing labor in behalf of the church. An hour or more was consumed by a Bishop in a masterly address in which maintained that without religion, no matter of whatever denomination, the world would suffer to an appalling degree. The constitution of the United States was founded upon religious principles, and the every walk our daily life should be guided by the spirit. He argued that the greatest danger the world has to contend with is the fight between labor and capital, and were reliant on principles to be obliterated from souls of the tolling millions, a conflict would result between the two great powers that of which would be dreadful to contemplate. The Bishop took occasion to highly comment Anaheim and its people, and said saw in his auditors a class of people who he judged were of a religious inclination and hoped that the same would continue characteristic of our city to the end of time. At the conclusion of the address he quot was partaken of and all relished good things prepared by the ladies of church. Sunday morning Bishop Montgomery preached to a congregation that filled Boniface Church to his doors, his discord being upon the "Sacrament of Penance" and in the evening another large congregation was present to hear him preach uu ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue ue uee He was the guest of Father Smith at parsonage, and during his stay was occupied by a large number of friends who could pay his respects.

Father Smith is given great credit for executive ability displayed and for his forts in arranging for the Bishop such enthusiastic welcome. BUENA PARK ITEMS. The Park is rejoicing in its boom sound of the hammer is heard in the lake Our popular doctor E. D. Johnson is building a very nice house of nine rooms on Grace Avenue. J. W. Wright from Minneapolis has a home on South Grand avenue. The new store building is nearing completion. J. E. Hickey's house on the Miner makes a fine show. The family have moved in. The view from this place is exceptionally fine, and this promises to be the grandest of The Heights. The new cremery is going up on Banon's place. There are a number brides here—no than four within past two weeks. A wedding bells are still echoing. Mrs. S. A. Elliott of Chicago is a guest Mrs. A. W. Whitaker. Dr. Chandler and family have moved their ranch—the old Ferguson place. Mrs. Tanner and John Tanner are in Anglesea. Miss Jennie Johnson went to Los Angeles Monday. The Y.P.S.C.E social met at Mrs. Bailor's on Monday evening. Friday the L.M.A.S will meet with Mrs.Jas.A.Whitaker. Rev. Willet gave one of his strongest mons last Sunday afternoon. The subtitle "The Progress of Civilization," was fully interested from beginning to end, giving great illustrations of the power not within ourselves that makes for righteousness. Church was well filled, and many new friends seen. George Whitaker is on the sick list. As a lady in a buggy was driving across Center street yesterday afternoon after 1 o'clock and when about to come aboard of the street-car which was standing on track in front of Lewis' stables, her became frightened and started to run away of the beginning of the work of the board, not a dollar of expense had been incurred by the concreting of the Southside ditch—which work Mr. Ross was known to be very much opposed to. All the payments on the Placentia avenue ditch—costing $14,000, not $20,000— made up to the beginning of the year (which includes nearly all of the ditch) are accounted for in the figures of the Board of Audit. The expense of cementing the Southside ditch not having as yet been incurred, it very properly finds no place in the report. Mr. Ross states that the report of the Board of Audit does not show the item of $5,000 due for interest on bonds to Jan. 1. On the contrary we assure the gentleman this item is included. The attorneys' fees in the Jurupa case are for the future to pay, and as the same have hardly been earned, we object to paying for them now. The Board of Audit also report that the water for the year 1894, for every head of 100 inches delivered to stockholders, cost the company 74 cents and a fraction thereof, while for last year, 1995, this amount was increased to the enormous sum of $1.31 for the same quantity of water, necessitating an assessment on every share of stock of about two dollars and fifty cents per share, to make up the deficiency in the running expenses of the company. The past year the water sales amounted to $10,000 in round numbers; the year before to $14,000. In 1894 our interest payments were $8,000; in 1895, $10,000. That tells the story of the cause of the relative raise in the price of water. But while our aggregate interest payments have been greater than the year 1894, the rate has been lowered very materially, as short term notes to the amount of $18,000 bearing 8,9 and as high as 10 per cent have been exchanged for long term bonds bearing 7 per cent. There exists no necessity for an assessment of $250 per share, as the gentleman would have us believe. An assessment of $170 per share would be quite sufficient to raise this deficiency, but one dollar of this has already been levied and paid. The running expenses were $22,251 78, not $29,659, as given by Mr. Ross, and his subsequent calculations based upon these mistaken premises, are exaggerated by the differences between these figures, or by an amount of upwards of $5,400. The report of the Board of Audit will be found to be of great interest to all stockholders, and the Directors cannot point to their work of the year with greater degree of satisfaction than by citing the facts and figures therein. The expense account shows a very gratifying decrease as compared with the expenses of the preceding year. True, the account is larger by some $3,000 than that of the year 1894; but this increase is voted several times, and the next thing in order was to devise some means of ascertainning which were the proper ones to be allowed. This work precipitated a w rangle which lengthened out, taking up almost the entire afternoon. [Santa Ana Correspondence L.A. Times. The words of a contemptible lying scoundrel. We do not know where this corresponant procured his information, but it was certainly from no one who was present at the meeting. Certainly no one present at that meeting could have uttered anything so indelicate, so indefensible, so utterly devoid of truth. No proxy was voted more than once—that is a reflection not only upon the committee on proxies, but upon the entire company and the community as well. No wrangle was precipitated, and had this unspeakable correspondent been present at the meeting he would have written, if he wrote truthfully, that never was a more orderly meeting held in the State of California, or elsewhere. His worse than contemptible references to the old Board of Directors for weeks past have gone unnoticed, but he has succeeded very well in branding himself, as we say, as a miserable cowardly lying whelp and poltroon. Monday morning this contemptible lying scoundrel writes to the Times as follows: All afternoon Saturday, and until 10 o'clock at night, the Anaheim Union Water Company wrangled over the selection of a new Board of Directors. [There was no wrangle.] The trouble was principally over the proxies that had been given by the stockholders to be voted. [There was no trouble.] Some of them were given out as many as three times (They were not), and the holders of them wurged that they had a right to vote them. [They did not.] So close was the time counted on some of them that this consideration of hours would not suffice and minutes had to be resorted to (They were not, nor were the hours you silly fool) in order to determine who should have the benefit of that proxy. The new board, as it stands now, may be considered a victory for the reformers. [It is not.] It consists of the following well known gentlemen: Max Nebelung, C. Spencer, Ernest Browning, W.F. Botsford, William Crowther [Four of the old board; and the fifth supported by them], E.R.Amerige and George Key. The defeated candidates were W.M. McFadden and Sydmer Ross. [McFadden was not a candidate.] Is it possible that Col. Otis can be aware of the lying utterances of this correspondent? We cannot bring ourselves to believe it; but we suggest that he look into the sources of the fellow's information. MARRIAGES.

The masquerade ball given by the Chosen Friends last Friday evening was one of the social events of the season. A large crowd of spectators witnessed the gyrations of the merry maskers, who were out in goodly number in all manner of rich, rare and indicous make-ups, while quite a number of the ladies appeared in costumes of exquisite beauty. Miss Stone and Miss Gosch were awarded the first ladies’ prizes and F. S. Purdy carried off the prize for the best sustained character—that of Dusky Bill, and Frank Collina, as George Washington, was awarded the prize for the most gorgeous gentleman’s costume. The committee of award were Mons. Cahen, M. L. Rogers and C. O. Rust. To inspiring music the devotees of the terpsicocean art tripped the light fantastic toe, and all were enjoyably entertained. Unmasking revealed the usual surprises and many were the expressions of astonishment when the identity of the frolickers was established. A sumptuous supper was served at the Del Campo, after which dancing was resumed until a late hour. Following are the maskers. Miss Henrietta Gosch—Queen of May. White satin hand-painted dress.
