HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK Saturday, Aug. 1st, the Date of the Municipal Election. To Vote Bonds for the Extension of the Water Works and Electric Light Plant—A Distressing Accident That Befell a Lad in the Cypress District While Starting out to Hunt Rabbit—Fatally Shot and Dies Within Twenty Minutes—Frantz and his Ostriches Join the Circus—Eleven Graduates from the Public School—A Couple of Young Men Who Ate Ice Cream With Salt In it, and Never Said a Word—Mr. Capitain and the Sugar Factory—Brevities. The City Trustees met in special session at the City Hall on Tuesday evening and adopted the ordinance providing for the calling of a special election for the purpose of submitting to the qualified electors of the city the proposition of incurring an indebtedness of $18,000 for the extension of the city water works and the electric light plant. The election will be held on Saturday, August 1st, next, and the polls will be opened at the City Hall from sun-up until 5 o'clock. The election at this time will give the Trustees ample time to include the levy in the yearly apportionment of taxes, which it is reckoned will amount to 62 cents on the hundred for the payment of the new bonds. This however will undoubtedly be decreased by the increased return for water and light by the consumers of the city. There are $12,750 of the old bonds of the city now outstanding, one-twentieth of which is being paid annually, which the regular municipal levy of 50 cents is sufficient to defray; and an additional levy of 62 cents will be enough to liquidate one-fortieth of the new bonds it is proposed to issue, which run for forty years to conform to the new requirements of the law. The proceeds of the new bonds will be divided in the proportion of $11,000 for the extension of the water works system of the city, which is now totally inadequate to the demand, and $7,000 for the enlargement of the electric light plant by the addition of a thousand incandescent lights, and the erection of fourteen new arc lights upon the streets of the city. The ordinance was voted upon affirmatively by the four members of the board present at the meeting, viz., Mayor Rust and Trustees Lewis, Helmsen, and Conrad; Trustee Grosse being unavoidably absent. The board are unanimous in their endorsement of the party learned of the conquest and entered with zeal into the plan for a hurried wedding. After the return in the evening the chase began for the license and it was 11 o'clock before O'Brien drove over to Boyle Heights and routed out Mr. Kurtz. His companion wanted him to give it up, but that did not suit the young lover, and his face beamed when he marched out of the clerk's office of the courthouse with the precious document. After thanking Mr. Kurtz, they rushed off to the Twenty-eighth street home of the bride, where a little party of friends and relatives were waiting for the minister, and shortly after midnight Mrs. Charles Edward O'Brien was congratulated on being a bride, and her husband was smiling as if he were the happiest man on earth. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. ROBERT HARAL SPARKS, SON OF WILLIAM SPARKS OF CYPRESS, MEETS DEATH IN A SHOCKING MANNER. Robert Haral Sparks, the thirteen-year-old son of William Sparks, living a quarter of a mile south of the new schoolhouse building at Cypress school district, about eight miles west of Anaheim, was accidentally shot and killed at the family residence at half-past 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning. He was about to get into a buckboard, into which he had already helped his sister, who is some years older than himself, and who was going after another young lady to drive into town. He had his shotgun along to shoot some rabbits, and intended riding as far as the other lady's house. As he was about to step into the vehicle, the horse started, and the gun, which he held in his right hand while with the left he had hold of the seat, was discharged, by the hammer striking against one of the spokes. The charge struck him in the right side above the liver, and ranging upward and backward, lodged against the spine behind and above the heart. The only words uttered by the unfortunate youth, who had thus sustained a fatal accident, were: "I am shot!" He fell to the ground, expiring a few minutes after, and giving utterance to nothing further than that he had been shot. The report of the gun started the horse to run away, and a short distance further on, at a bend in the road, the vehicle overturned and Miss Sparks was thrown to the ground, sustaining quite severe injuries. She was stunned and remained so for a few minutes. When she revived she ran to where her brother lay, finding him down upon his hands and knees, with a great pool of blood coagulating under him. She endeavored to stanch the flow of blood, and her screams, as well as the gunshot, brought Rev. Mr. French of Garden Grove and Mr. Walker, also of the Grove, both of whom were at work upon the new schoolhouse, running over to the scene of the accident, and the boy was carried into the residence. He was already dead. No other members of the family were at home at time Mr. Sparks having driven Kleinigkeiten. The Turners have made great preparations for their field day in the Littlefield grove on Sunday, and are looking forward to a big time. The Supervisors on Monday granted saloon licenses to Ramon Wisser, Fritz Ruhman, Mons. Pouohon and Heinrich Knapke of this city. If the party who sent us an unsigned note reciting the birth of twins on Sunday, will call at this office, he will hear of something to his advantage. New telephones were yesterday installed at the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe depots, the Hotel del Campo (now called the Pacific sanitarium), and Druggist Derge's new residence. Santa Ana has called an election for Tuesday, July 14th, to vote upon the question of issuing municipal bonds for the installation of a city electric lighting system. The county seat is taking a one from the successful operation of the lights in this city. As we go to press Baker Kistler brings in a change in his advertisement. He is making batter bread, cakes, pies and ice cream than ever, and invites all to call and see him in his new place of business on Center street. While painting at the residence of Mr. Hart on Thursday last, Mr. Frontz had the misfortune to fall from a scaffolding and sustained serious bruises about the hip and shoulder, and has since been confined to his residence. Tuesday eying at 10 o'clock a heavy Scotch mist provailed, and people with straw hats thought of going home for their umbrellas. This is the most remarkable season climatically in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Two of the orphans escaped from the orphanage on Monday afternoon, but were returned on Tuesday by Mr. Preciado of Olive, at whose house they showed up during Monday evening. They had become imbued with spirit of seeing the world, and had walked to Olive. John Meyerleitner who lives on North street near the crossing of the Santa Fe tracks, and who has influence enough to be on the county's indigent list, had his allowance shaved from $8 33 to $6 a month by the Supervisors on Monday. What's John been doing now? Mr. Warling having moved his stock of saddlery and harness to the Krug building on Center street, gives notice in our advertising columns that he will be pleased to see his friends and the general public at his new place of business. The Fullerton band, true to its time-honored custom, regaled the people with a number of selections of music on Saturday afternoon, at the conclusion of the Memorial Day services.

Anaheim is about to vote bonds to increase its electric light plant. This is an encouraging evidence of progress in the old colony which we rejoice to see. Every locality in this section seems to be enjoying notable prosperity. The Southern California Company made a big cut in expenses at San Bernardino on Monday, sixty-eight men being laid off. Most of them were employed in the shops and round houses, but a few were train men. The cut will reduce the force of men employed to about half what it was three months ago. May I saw a big cut in the force of employees, when a large number were laid off, and the time of those retained reduced to 8 hours per day. The latest reduction comes as a complete surprise. The pay roll for June will be probably $10,000 less than that for March. Best grade of both gut and silvered steel wire, Violin, guitar and banjo strings at O. R. Luedko's. Also violin trimmings.

Mr. Warling having moved his stock of saddlery and harness to the Kreg building on Center street, gives notice in our advertising columns that he will be pleased to see his friends and the general public at his new place of business. The Fullerton band, true to its time-honored custom, regaled the people with a number of selections of music on Saturday afternoon, at the conclusion of the Memorial Day services. The band appeared in its new gold braided uniforms, and the boys were handsome and the music better than ever. At the annual meeting of the Fullerton walnut growers on Monday Sydmere Ross, W. M. McFadden, B. F. Porter, S. F. Daniels and A. T. Pendleton were elected Directors for the ensuing year. A meeting of Southern California walnut growers will be held at Los Angeles June 9. Another change in the time of arrival and departure of trains over the Santa Fe went into effect on Monday morning. One train has been out out of the local Santa Ana service, and the morning train to San Diego will be discontinued on Sundays. The first train down from Los Angeles gets here at 9:50, an hour later than heretofore. The June schedule of that old-established and eminently reliable steamboat transportation, the Pacific Coast steamship company, will be found in its customary place on the fourth page. The office of Agt. Parris, in Los Angeles has been moved to 124 West Second street, where he will be pleased to wait upon the patrons of the company. The jury in the case of the People versus Baldwin, the Bolsa rape fiend, was discharged in the Superior Court at noon on Tuesday after having been out for 20 hours and unable to arrive at a verdict. Baldwin's bail was subsequently reduced from $5000 to $1000, but at latest accounts he was still in the custody of the Sheriff. One of the most enjoyable social gatherings of the season was the progressive euchre party given by Miss Jessie and Winifred Melrose at the palatial home of their parents on Friday evening. Miss Olga Zeus and Gilbert Landell were awarded the first prizes, and Miss Stella Lewis and Gus Langenberger the boobies. Punch and iceos and other refreshments were served, and at a late hour the young folks dispersed, voting their handsome hostesses to be the most charming of entertainers. Seale's delivery horse, having been kept on a diet of too much cats, took it into his head to spin around the block on Tuesday afternoon, and tore out of the back yard, dragging the delivery wagon after him, leaving a cloud of dust in his wake. He spun around in front of Dr. Lee's and turned down toward the schoolhouse and around to Center street and thence into Los Angeles, where he was caught by Nick Hugo, who ran across the street and staded the mad animal in its flight. No damages. There will be eleven graduates from the city schools at the close of the term on the 18th.

A tally-ho drive to Millard's Canyon in which a party of Los Angeles gentlemen and ladies participated Saturday night resulted in a hasty and romantic marriage at a Twenty-eighth street residence in the wee hours of the Sabbath morn. And a tally ho courtship caused Deputy County Clerk Kurtz of Boyle Heights to lose much valuable sleep, for he was aroused near midnight by a youth who had won a "yes" from a fair maiden during the ride and wanted a marriage license without delay. The good-natured clerk saw the urgency of the case and went to the Courthouse, where the valuable paper was filled out. The license contained the names of Charles Edvard O'Brien, who was born in Canada and is 26 years old, and Miss Lenora Allen, who first saw the light in Arizona and is 22 years of age. She is a daughter of Colonel Allen, formerly Indian agent in Arizona. During the tally-ho ride the young man got his sweetheart's consent to marriage.

The trial of the case of Susanna Bixby against the Anaheim Union Water Company, which was to have taken place in the Superior Court at Santa Ana on the 9th inst., has been postponed because of the inability of the plaintiff's attorney to go on with the trial on the day set. It will probably be tried next month. This is a case in which the plaintiff seeks quiet title against the defendant to 300 inches of water. Emil Menzel died at Whittier on Friday evening at 9 o'clock, from the effects of sunstroke sustained while hoeing beets in the field on the preceding Monday morning. The day marked the climax of the unutterably hot weather of last week, and the lad succumbed to his too arduous exertions in the field. He was unconscious 106 hours, and although everything was done for him, there was but little hope for his recovery. The remains were interred at Whittier on Saturday, the members of the family attending the funeral from different points of their residence.

Dr. Flournoy has closed out his business here, and has taken his departure for Los Angeles, having shipped his household furniture up some days ago. The Doctor has resided here a year, and has gained very much in health during his sojourn, having been considerably broken in health for some years previous to his arrival. He has acquired a half interest in a drug store on Aliso street, and is confident of doing well. His mother, a lady of ninety years of age, who is as spry as a cricket, has already gone to Pasadena, to remain with her son, and the Doctor and his wife will leave for Los Angeles in a day or two, as soon as he closes up his business affairs here. The Directors of the co-operative sugar factory met in special executive session at the office of the company on Tuesday afternoon, to consider the proposition of a well-known San Francisco capitalist, who has large interests here, and who has written for a sixty-day option upon the bonds. His health has not been of the best in the northern metropolis of late, and he may be induced to come south, if successful in placing the bonds, and take a hand in the enterprise. With a man of his means and executive ability at the head of this great industrial enterprise, there will be better prospects for its success than ever. Other inquiries about the bonds were also brought before the meeting, which was an executive session, and the President was authorized to continue the correspondence with the San Francisco capitalist. A rumor spread that an offer had been made for the purchase of the bonds, one report placing the price as high as 95, but the rumor were in error. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. G. W.

Sam Federman has achieved distinction in Los Angeles—he has succeeded in having the name of Sand street changed to California street, and now they are thinking of running him for Mayor.

The regular meeting of the Directors will be held on June 18th, when it is said an assessment of about $150 on each share will be levied. Charley Klose came to town on Tuesday and feeling well over the report that the sugar bonds were about to be sold at 95 cents, fell to looking upon the wine when it was red, and soon acquired a load that well informed persons aver was pretty hard to get. Coming along near Dickel's establishment Charley, feeling exceedingly gay, burst into song and went toppling into the gutter bores over appetite. How long he lay knew not, but he would have been run over and mashed into mince meat by the many wagons passing the corner, had not kind hands rescued him from his predicament and leased him up against a wagon standing near. He soon woke up and looked around with a where-am-I at look, realized that to let go his hold meant ruination, and to remain standing there would be the means of his losing a lot of fun. However he soon recovered sufficiently to peggle up the street, bursting into song at intervals and filling the air with joyousness and liquid melody, like a bird. Charley has been out of town for a spell, but had to celebrate on coming in from the depths of the primeval forests. The soldiers' graves in the cemetery were decorated on Saturday (Memorial Day) by Malvern Hill Post of Fullerton, which drove over in carriages, preceded by the Fullerton brass band, in the afternoon, and to the strains of martial music, the crowd fell in and took up the marche to the cemetery. A large crowd had gathered at the city of the dead, and graves were decorated with evergreens and flowers. The Stars and Stripes hung from half-masts at many points in town, and the day was observed in time-honored fashion. The ranks of the old soldiers are fast thinning out, and each year marks the place of an absent one. It is a beautiful custom, this decorating the graves of the departed heroes, and it is an inspiring spectacle to see the old soldiers follow the flag to the last resting places of their departed comrades to strew them with flowers in commemoration of the battlefield that binds them into bonds indissoluble. Business was generally suspended, and all hands seemed to partake of the true spirit of Memorial Day. Three jolly traveling men came to town on Tuesday afternoon, and made matters lively during their stay. They were W. H. Weaver, advertising Pepsin's chewing gum, Joe Sylvester (Fraser's axle grease), and O. F. Kinney (Royal Baking Powder, absolutely pure), the advertisement of which has been running in our columnus for several years. The two first named drove into town about half past three o'clock in a tandem cart, having been on the road from Los Angeles since 1 o'clock in the morning. They carried a cornetist with them, who piped sweet tunes to the crowds of people who thronged to see the rig, the drummers and hear the music.

They were W. H. Weaver, advertising Pepsin's chewing gum, Joe Sylvester (Fraser's axle grease), and O. F. Kinney (Royal Baking Powder, absolutely pure), the advertisement of which has been running in our column for several years. The two first named drove into town about half past three o'clock in a tandem cart, having been on the road from Los Angeles since 1 o'clock in the morning. They carried a cornettist with them, who piped sweet tunes to the crowds of people who thronged to see the rig, the drummers and hear the music. Mr. Kinney met them here and a few moments were passed in swapping yarns and telling how hard the lot of the average drummer was, Mr. Sylvester informing us that it was a "puddin', but had no raisins in it"; Mr. Kinney said the life of a drummer was a "nap, but it wouldn't pop," and also recited an affecting poem entitled Santa Ana junction, which our county seat friends ought to hear. The musician here interrupts the thread of the story, but the boys are voted jolly good fellows, and we guess we'll go out and see them again. We know a couple of young men who are made of the stuff that martyrs come of, and whose chivalrous heroism is a together unexamplied in the annals of the neighborhood. They made a call at a countryside home which is noted for its hospitality a Sunday or two ago, and the good housewife, seeking to add to their pleasures of meeting the beautiful young ladies of the household, set about to regale them with a quantity of ice cream, at the manufacture of which she bears a well-merited reputation throughout the community of being especially adept. The cream soon after appeared in all its frozen loveliness, and the young gentlemen, as well as the others present, were made to think that life was altogether worth living at receiving such a generous donation of it. We will not say how the others took it, but the fact that the good housewife had accidentally put the salt into the cream instead of sugar, made it quite a job for our young friends to get away with their portion. Realizing that it would be indelicate to offer objection, they resolutely continued to store it away until it had all disappeared, although it must have been a pretty hard job. And that isn't all of it. When the cream had been eaten, one of the young gentlemen, essaying to compliment the lady upon the excellence of the cream, accepted of a second plateful and consumed it without any outward indication that it was other than the best he had ever eaten. Those two young men are all right—but they draw the line at ice cream without a label. Highest of all in Leavening Power.
