LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Franchise for Ditches Agreed to by the Council. A Bid Offering $5 for the Franchise Put in by the Water Company, and Rejected. Then Raised to $100. Under Suspension of the Rules, and Accepted—How a Water Director Came in Contact With the Water Limit—A Bad Fire on the Botsford Ranch—The Warehouse Entirely Destroyed, and Heavy Damage Entailed—Charley Handy's Narrow Escape From the Accidental Discharge of a Rifle—Will Dec. Garner Write any Poetry about Rescinding That $4,000 Proposition Made Gasman Holmes!—Local Brevities. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. In the absence of Mayor Rust, who came in late, Trustee Lewis was elected temporary presiding officer. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reporting further on the matter of carbons, stated the City Clerk had been instructed to write the Chicago supply house for carbon rates and discounts, the idea being that cheaper rates could be thus procured than by purchasing carbons in Los Angeles. Under the head of unfinished business, the Clerk reported that he had insured the power-house and tanks, boilers, etc., at the electric light and water works, at a rate of $1 85 on the hundred, which is five cents cheaper than last year's rate. The amount of insurance is $2,800, and the premium amounts to $51 80. Under the head of new business the board took up the matter of the sale of the franchise, for the maintenance of the ditches in town, to the water company. One bid was received, which on being opened by the Clerk was found to be an offer from the water company for the purchase of the franchise, at a nominal consideration of $5. The Chair—Sure it isn't $500? At the recent meeting of the city board and the committee of the water board in reference to the franchise, it was understood that the latter would stand the expense of the issuance of the franchise, and as the amount of expenditure will be in the neighborhood of $100, and the amount of the bid was found to be on further inspection only $5, the board viewed the matter in an adverse light, and on motion of Trustee Rust, who had no time before 6 o'clock in the morning, and the attorney had been compelled to get into and go out and interview him on the law in his shirt tail. Mr. Martinez has given his word never to molest the company's ditches again, and will move his sheep far, far away. His communication was laid on the table. W. F. Christian wrote saying that he had a claim against Pipemaker Schade for $69 75 which he could not collect, and asked that warrant be drawn in his favor for this amount, and charged to Schade. No action. Mr. Wool asked permission to put in gate at his place in the cement ditch running along Lemon street. Granted, the work be done under the supervision of the Superintendent. Mr. Spencer reported that the intermittent matter of the right of way for the ditch running to Mr. Nutt's place at length been settled, and he recommended that when that gentleman procures deeds for right of way for the ditch and tenders them to the company, they be accepted. Mr. Nutt was present, and stated that Miss Burton had given right of way for the ditch across her land, and he had been promised a deed by Mr. Braun of Los Angeles across his land. The ditch would be placed in good condition and deemed the company. The offer was accepted. The deed from Mr. Foos to ditch in Placentia was referred to the Ditch Committee to report at the next meeting. The Secretary was authorized to draw warrants in favor of the Union Trust Company of San Francisco for the July interest. The price of water for July and August was lifted 80 cents for 100 inches per hour from 75 cents, to do away with the necessary odd fractions in selling 50 inches. Mr. Amerige brought up the matter of the water limit, which, according to the rules, fixed at half an hour per share during the months of May, June, July and August. No water limit had been imposed until the beginning of this month, and while America was irrigating his 30 acres of land some days ago, on ten shares of stock, he found that water suddenly curtailed. To this he intended a demurrier, but subsided when informed by Supt. Sheppard that he had been given his full allotment of water on this run. Amerige said that trees and corn were suffering for water, but if irrigators disposed of two-thirds of their stock just before an assessment, they have no grounds to object to their allotment of water is curtailed to this amount apportioned to their stock. The general tenant has ten shares of stock, and was served with five hours of water. His regular quotation of stock has been about 25 shares all along, but as within a few weeks past he has disposed of fifteen shares his allotment of water was cut out to that limit. A DISASTROUS FIRE. THE WAREHOUSE AT THE BOTSFORD RANCH AT PLACENTIA DESTROYED BY FIRE EARLY ON FRIDAY MORNING—HEAVY LOSS. The large brick warehouse on the Botsford ranch at Placentia was entirely consumed by fire. At the recent meeting of the city board and the committee of the water board in reference to the franchise, it was understood that the latter would stand the expense of the issuance of the franchise, and as the amount of expenditure will be in the neighborhood of $100, and the amount of the bid was found to be on further inspection only $5, the board viewed the matter in an adverse light, and on motion of Trustee Rust, who had come in and taken his seat, the bid was rejected. Mr. Spencer of the water company was present, and said there was evidently some misunderstanding in reference to the matter upon the part of the committee appointed by the water company to appear before the board and bid for the franchise. He personally had forgotten all about this being the night of the sale, and would not have been present had not his attention been called to it by the attorney of the company. He did not think the water company wanted to do a thing but was fair and right. If the amount denominated in the bid was not satisfactory, he felt certain his company would make it right. After further discussion, resulting in fixing the amount of the expenses at $100, Mr. Spencer, acting with the co-operation of City Clerk Nebelung, who is also a Director in the water company, offered to accept the conditions of the council, and he thereupon changed the amount of the bid from $5 to $100. The rejection of the original bid was thereupon reconsidered and by a unanimous vote the amended offer was accepted, and the Clerk read the ordinance for the first time. It will come up for final passage at the next meeting of the board. City Attorney Chynoweth stated that in matters of this kind, certified checks covering the amount of the offer usually accompanied the bids, but he saw no such check or monetary consideration supporting the offer. He was further in doubt as to the legality of accepting the bid, in that it had not been in by 8 o'clock. The bid was brought in by Mr. Spencer at a quarter past 8, and according to that gentleman's own statement, came near not being brought in at all, on account of forgetting about the meeting. The council was not disposed to take unfair advantage of the remissness of the water company, however, and instructing the Clerk to notify the company to have a certified check covering the amount of expenses incurred on hand at the next meeting of the board, previous to the final passage of the ordinance, and proceeding upon the assumption that it was 8 o'clock until it was 9, the ordinance was agreed to, and entered of record. Trustee Rust brought up the matter of the bridge in front of Mr. Werder's place on Citron street, representing it to be in bad condition, and suggesting that the water company be requested to put it in repair. The matter was referred to Street Superintendent Steadman, who stated he had already notified the company to repair a bad bridge at Mr. Korn's place. To take the same action. Mr. Rust reported that his attention had been called by the Rimpau brothers to the fact that their are light had been cut out, and assuming that an injustice had been done them, asked as to the whiteness of this thunness. The Chair—Probably the chairman of the Finance Committee can tell you all about it. Trustee Helmsen then related how the light in the store had been ordered cut out. The are not burned continually, he said, rendering it almost impossible for the electrical engineer to regulate the carbons necessary to the even running of the lamp, and there had been constant trouble. The arc had been lighted only twice in the last two took up the matter of the sale of the franchise, for the maintenance of the ditches in town, to the water company. One bid was received, which on being opened by the Clerk was found to be an offer from the water company for the purchase of the franchise, at a nominal consideration of $5.

The Chair—Probably the chairman of the Finance Committee can tell you all about it. Trustee Helmsen then related how the light in the store had been ordered cut out. The arc was not burned continually, he said, rendering it almost impossible for the electrical engineer to regulate the carbons necessary to the even running of the lamp, and there had been constant trouble. The arc had been lighted only twice in the last two weeks of its use—one night a week—and the rate paid by the firm was during the last month of the use of the lamp, according to the figures given by the board by the Marshal, but 65 cents, and the month before $1.65. Other parties in town using arie lights had been given a flat rate of $7.50 per month to 9 o'clock, and $9 to midnight. He deprecated the practice of putting in meters, to suit the purpose of those who burn lights much or little, and favored a flat rate for all arcs the year round. Inasmuch as there was constant call for lights from other parties, and as he did not think the town could afford to put in an arc for 65 cents worth of light per month, he had ordered the arc cut out, and the electrical engineer had accordingly cut it out. The council supported him unanimously in the matter, the consensus of opinion being that all areas should be put in at a flat rate of $7.50 per month until 9 o'clock, and $9 until midnight. The arc was, however, ordered reinstalled, on motion of Trustee Conrad, the board desiring not to appear as working an injustice against the firm, the rate to be the usual flat rate given other consumers. Engineer Des Granges reported in this connection that the power house was now carring a load of 596 lights. Answering a question put to him by the Chair, he replied that he had not estimated the number of residence lights, but the works had been run up to 23 full amperes. The capacity being 25 amperes, and in the opinion of the chair the capacity of the works being efficient to carry a limited number of additional lights, the engineer was instructed to go ahead and install the residence lights called for. The engineer reported that several residents on Shanley avenue were desirous of putting in lights, among them Mr. Weaver, and he was authorized to install them wherever called for.

Olinda ranch, at his request, as to the matter of deeds to right of way to ditches across the ranch. Col. Bailey very kindly offered to give the company deeds to right of way for two ditches across the ranch, if the company would relinquish all further rights to ditches across the premises. As two ditches would be all the company would ever need, he recommended that the offer be accepted. Mr. Essick asked permission to address the board, and the same being granted; said that if the company's rights were relinquished, according to Col. Bailey's request, a tract of fifty acres lying next to him could not be irrigated, as it could not be reached by the two ditches reported upon by the Engineer. Attorney Melrose being called upon, explained the matter at issue, defining floating rights especially, and saying they could not be exercised to the injury of the owner of the ranch, in order that the interests of some possible future irrigator might be subserved thereby. The company had rights of way through the ranch undoubtedly, out these should be settled according to the owner's liberal request. The question of indefinite rights of way through the ranch was a matter that probably the owner did not care to have floating over him, and insamuch as the two ditches for which rights of way are now offered—together with the fact that Col. Bailey will associate with himself in giving those rights Mr. Shanklin, who has rights of way vesting in himself, which he will also deed the company—the attorney advised that the impending difficulty with the Olinda ranch people be settled by accepting Col. Bailey's offer. The Engineer was thereupon appointed, to set in conjunction with the ditch committee, to meet with Col. Bailey, in selecting the line of two ditches across the ranch, to report to the attorney, when if everything is all right, the company will relinquish to Col. Bailey all other rights of way across the ranch which it possesses. On the suggestion of the attorney, the matter of the sluice gate at Flume 12, which has been in controversy between Col. Bailey and the company, was also included in the matters to come before the committee, and the company will make an earnest effort to settle these little matters between themselves and the distinguished owner of the ranch up in the foothills. Mr. Jose Martinez, the enthusiastic borrego who was a couple of weeks ago accused of permitting his borregos to roam the ditches of the company at their sweet will o'er, was present at the meeting, an interested spectator of the proceedings, and when The Secretary read his letter to the board that he had met the company's attorney and fallen upon his neck and wept and paid $30 of the $60 demanded as damages, and asking that the balance be remitted, his eyes opened with animation; but when the board, proceeding on its way evenly on to cinch him up for the other $30 worth, in quiet meditation fancy free, Mr. Martinez arose and left the ball. He had already bound himself to the company's attorney to pay the remaining $30, and such had been the keenness of his interest in the proceedings, that he had made three separate calls upon that gentleman, every basement and release the animals whose cries made the boys feel themselves impelled to risk their own lives in saving them. In less than ten minutes their cries ceased, and when their bodies were found the next day it was seen that two of the horses had broken loose from their stalls, and had attempted to find their way out of the burning building. Their bodies lay in the alley way within a few feet of the outer door. They had released themselves and started out of their burning building, but had fallen overcomely by the flames. The bodies of all the animals were cooked, and they were buried where they fell, it being impossible to move them. The fire lit up up surrounding country with a torch, and neighbors came running to assist in subduing the flames. Ed Athertox was among the first to see fire, his attention being attracted to the light shortly after 1 o'clock. He and his employees ran over giving the alarm of fire as they ran. The warehouse was soon one mass of flames. Everything in it was destroyed Allthe hay and grain went up in smoke, andthe set of farming implements, gasoline engine, barley crusher, walnut grader, mowing machines, plows and graders were destroyed. Billy Hale lost new $165 buggy, standing near from door, where the flames were of such heat as to render its saving impossible. His brother lost a $400 piano which was stored in this building,together with a quantity of house hold furniture recently purchased,and which cost $1000. The fire burned with an intense heat that made the saving ofthe adjacent buildings a matter fraught withthe utmost difficulty. The bricks inthe wall melted in places,and ran like miniature beds of lava.The faucet ofthe pipe leading fromthe tanktothe stable burned off,anda shattofhis ing steam shot up intothe flames.The tall gum trees,nearthe building,these scorchedandthe adjacent buildingswereiniminenelilofdestruction.Wereitnotforthetreesprobablyotherhouseswouldhavebeendestroyed.

George Boyd has started the fruit dryer, and has a force engaged drying apricots. Foggy mornings have prevailed during the week, and the back of the heated spell is broken. Dr. Pfeninger has the thanks of this office for a quantity of the best apricots we have seen this season. The second trial of the Mexican Julian Berdugo for murder resulted in a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree. He will be sentenced to-morrow. A marriage license was granted by Gupid Beckett of the County's Clerk's office on Tuesday to Harrison Kuebler, aged 41, and Frances Moulin, aged 45, both of this city. Judging by the fervor of the defense put forth by the San Pedro American in behalf of horsethief Carrizz, that precious fish peddlers must have paid for his subscription in advance! The commencement exercises of the public schools were largely attended at the Opera-house last Thursday evening, and an entertaining musical and literary program was rendered. An invitation to attend the graduation exercises of the Woodbury business college has been received. Among the scholars in the class of '96 are Miss Estelle Lewis and Jacob Good of this city. The feeling at Santa Ana in reference to issuing bonds for municipal lights is said to be overwhelmingly in their favor. Only the shareholders in the gas works and their associates appear to be against them. An accident to the early north-bound Southern Pacific train from Tustin last Thursday morning delayed mail and passengers a couple of hours. The train ran into an open switch at McPherson, but suffered no serious damage by the mishap. Mr. Gleichner of Oceanside is visiting in town, the guest of Mr. McCaulay, a recent arrival from that place, who resides on Broadway, near Clementina, Mr. Gleichner sees a tremendous difference in favor of this section over Oceanside, and may locate permanently. Marshal Steadman is engaged in trimming the overhanging branches of the trees along the sidewalks. Foggy nights will soon be here, and he is anticipating the aggravation of one's running into a wet bunch of low-hanging leaves on coming down town early in the morning. Paul Poetsch's pink beds have been objects of conspicuous beauty, and the place is acres in the co-operative company. He promptly declined, saying that if ever he got out of the concern in which he is at present interested, he might interest himself in raising beets, but as for going in for building factories, nit. Mrs. E. L. Kordes who recently conducted a dress-making establishment here has begun an action in Los Angeles to sever the bonds of matrimony existing between herself and husband, on the grounds of failure to provide. One of the jurors in the Berdugo trial is said to have voted at first for acquittal, while others voted for murder in the first degree. The jury finally compromised on murder in the second degree, and Berdugo will probably get about ten years. Z. B. West of Santa Ana has been admitted to practice in the United States Circuit Court, on the recommendation of United States Attorney Denis. Judge West is running a neck-and-neck race with Judge Ballard for the Republican nomination for County Judge. Miss Mabel Langenberger visited with Madame Modjeska at her home in the Santiago last week, and reports the Madame's health as improving with the warm weather. The friends of the distinguished tragedienne have hopes that she may yet recover sufficiently to enable her to return to the stage. W. F. Botsford and W. M. McFadden were in from Placentia yesterday settling up the affairs of their orange shipping season. The Placentia orange creep, according to the figures of Secretary Wright of the local fruit association, will bring in about $75,000 into that thriving section. Miss Jennie Bowman of San Francisco, niece of O. D. Baldwin, the well-known banker, and E. F. Proston, attorney for the Valley railroad, arrived in town yesterday on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. McFadden of Placentia. She arrived by steamer via Redondo, and will remain probably a month. Ed Atherton was in from his ostrich farm one day last week and placed the firm under lasting obligations to him by presenting the better half of the editorial household with a couple of magnificent plumes. Eleven chicks have recently been hatched at the ranch and Mr. Atherton expects to hatch about 50 more. The cold weather was hard on the eggs, and the increase of chicks was below the normal average. Two years ago 130 birds were hatched. Last year Ed visited with his folks in London, and let the hatching go. There are 71 large birds on the farm. Our old friend Dr. Garner, Santa Ana's noted poet and chiropodist, must be the maddest man at the county seat, after the action of the Santa Ana Trustees on Monday night in rescinding its resolution to pay Holmes of the gas company $4,000 for his plant in the event of the carrying of the bonds for a municipal system. It required acres in the co-operative company. He promptly declined, saying that if ever he got out of the concern in which he is at present interested, he might interest himself in raising beets, but as for going in for building factories, nit.

The friends of the distinguished tragedienne have hopes that she may yet recover sufficiently to enable her to return to the stage. W. F. Botsford and W. M. McFadden were in from Placentia yesterday settling up the affairs of their orange shipping season. The Placentia orange creep, according to the figures of Secretary Wright of the local fruit association, will bring in about $75,000 into that thriving section. Miss Jennie Bowman of San Francisco, niece of O. D. Baldwin, the well-known banker, and E. F. Proston, attorney for the Valley railroad, arrived in town yesterday on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. McFadden of Placentia. She arrived by steamer via Redondo, and will remain probably a month. Ed Atherton was in from his ostrich farm one day last week and placed the firm under lasting obligations to him by presenting the better half of the editorial household with a couple of magnificent plumes. Eleven chicks have recently been hatched at the ranch and Mr. Atherton expects to hatch about 50 more. The cold weather was hard on the eggs, and the increase of chicks was below the normal average. Two years ago 130 birds were hatched. Last year Ed visited with his folks in London, and let the hatching go. There are 71 large birds on the farm. Our old friend Dr. Garner, Santa Ana's noted poet and chiropodist, must be the maddest man at the county seat, after the action of the Santa Ana Trustees on Monday night in rescinding its resolution to pay Holmes of the gas company $4,000 for his plant in the event of the carrying of the bonds for a municipal system. It required acres in the co-operative company. He promptly declined, saying that if ever he got out of the concern in which he is at present interested, he might interest himself in raising beets, but as for going in for building factories, nit. Mrs. E. L. Kordes who recently conducted a dress-making establishment here has begun an action in Los Angeles to sever the bonds of matrimony existing between herself and husband, on the grounds of failure to provide. One of the jurors in the Berdugo trial is said to have voted at first for acquittal, while others voted for murder in the first degree. The jury finally compromised on murder in the second degree, and Berdugo will probably get about ten years. Z. B. West of Santa Ana has been admitted to practice in the United States Circuit Court, on the recommendation of United States Attorney Denis.

The brick warehouse on the Botsford placenta was entirely consumed by it was discovered shortly after midFriday morning. The cause of supposed to have been incendiary, discharged employee of the ranch posed to be the author of the seven head of horses and two tons of hay, 800 sacks of barley, engine, walnut grader, and all the minery, besides a new buggy and stored in the building, were the loss is in the neigh- $10,000, and the insurance about annnin, who works on the ranch, twenty minutes past 12 o'clock, visit to friends at Fullerton, that time noticed nothing unout the place.

The sound is unto that of a human being in presses. Calling the five employees beds, Billy gave instructions to animals first, if possible. The men night shirts to the stable door, of the warehouse, but the heat tense that it was impossible to do, much less descend into the release the animals, whose boys feel themselves impelled own lives in saving them.

A change in the Southern Pacific time table went into effect on Sunday. The time of the departure of the regular 8:14 northbound morning train has been changed to 8:09 a.m., and the 11:07 a.m. northbound train to a minute later, at 11:08. The 4:29 p.m. northbound is changed to 4:27 p.m. The southbound trains remain the same. E.P. Truitt, editor of the Norwalk Call, who also officiates as Justice of the Peace, distinguished himself one day last week by sending a man to jail for 180 days for stealing six green apricots—thirty days for each one. The gaze was appealed to the Superior Court in Los Angeles, and Judge Smith set the man at liberty, holding that no offense had been committed. Cross-roads justice is a wonderfully constructed thing. What wouldn't the Judge have done had the apricots been ripe? Mrs. Lane, the efficient Superintendent of the telegraph service here, has returned to her post of duty, from a visit to friends at Puente. She yesterday received a quantity of the new telegraph blanks, and is now more than ever ready to forward rush messages. She had an offer from headquarters to furnish bulletins of the Corbett-Sharkey boxing contest in San Francisco last night, but the sports in town were not sporty enough to respond. As Charley Handy, the fourteen-year-old stepon of L. Z. Huntington, was driving in a cart at La Mirada on Thursday morning last, a 22-calibre rifle with which he had been shooting rabbits, fell through the slats in bed of the vehicle and was discharged, the bullet passing under the right armpit, fortunately without entering the flesh. The shirt and vest were cut in several places by the course of the bullet, but apart from sustaining quite a shock from fright, the boy escaped unhurt. The rifle was being carried in usual position, with the stock resting upon the cart bed, and the barrel leaning up against the arm. Charley was very thankful that he escaped uninjured, but he was so scared that he couldn't eat any dinner when he got home. That abstracts are not at all times what they should be, is illustrated in the receipt by some of our citizens of postal cards sent out by Assessor Vegeley claiming taxes that became delinquent as long ago as 1874. Judge Pierce is in receipt of three of these notices, representing that three parcels of property in town under his control were sold to State for delinquent taxes in 1874, 1876 and 1880. The original tax was small, but it has grown, what with the interest and the penalties, to quite a figure. The property has changed hands several times since the time of the delinquent sale, but there is nothing in the abstracts showing this flaw in the title. The Judge has handed the matter over to an expert for investigation. Our old friend Dr. Garner, Santa Ana's noted poet and chiropodist, must be the maddest man at the county seat, after the action of the Santa Ana Trustees on Monday night in rescinding its resolution to pay Holmes of the gas company $4,000 for his plant in the event of the carrying of the bonds for a municipal system. It required originally four members of the Board of Trustees to vote the initial ordinance setting forth the necessity for the incurring of the indebtedness for light purposes, and Doe steadily refused to come to the rescue of other three men on the board who favored lights, until Holmes should be taken care of. After meeting for weeks and weeks and adjourning without being able to win the Doo over to the cause of municipal lights, a happy compromise was hit upon whereby his vote was secured by a promise to pay Holmes $4,000 for his outfit. This was to be contingent upon the gas company keeping its hands off the municipal election, but it appears that they have not lived up to their agreement, and after the Doo's vote made it possible to call the election, his associates have thrown Holmes overboard by passing a resolution rescinding its $4,000 proposition. We wonder if it Doe could write a piece of poetry about that, but there can be no question he could write a poem about the board's action opening up good grounds for a lawsuit. From A.H.Cargill, Secretary of the executive board of the Southern California fruit exchange, we receive following reference to James W. Rogers of Chicago, the junior member of the firm that went into insolvency owing to orange growers of Southern California some $14,000. There can be no doubt failure was a premediated and a fraudulent affair. The extract is taken from the Chicago Journal of June 9: "James W. Rogers of firm of Barnard, Rogers & Co., which failed April 25, was in County court this morning; on a citation under which she affairs of insolvent concern are being inquired into. It is claimed that failure is an irregular one, and tomorrow a motion will be argued before Judge Donnelly to displace the assignee. "The inquiry was conducted this morning by Beach & Beach, and the witness was Rogers. The evidence showed that during month previous to date of assignment between $7,000 and $8,000 of firm's money had been drawn out. The object of the investigation was to ascertain where all of this money had gone. The witness admitted that on day of the failure he had in the neighborhood of $2000, some of which he had lost since at races. In this manner he said he had gotten rid of about $400 or $500. The witness claimed to have been unable to account for the disposition much of other money. At one time he testified to having deposited $1800 in a bank, after the assignment. He admitted that since that time he had been living as well as he had before he failed, and qualified this statement by saying he 'always lived high.'" $800 to Loan.

Ed Atherton the first to see the fire, his attention attracted to the light shortly after He and his employees ran over, alarm of fire as they ran. Warehouse was soon one mass of everything in it was destroyed. Day and grain went up in and the set of farming implement engine, barley crusher, walter, mowing machines, plows and were destroyed. Billy Hale lost a buggy, standing near the front of the flames were of such heat as was saving impossible. His brother piano which was stored in the together with a quantity of houseware recently purchased, and which burned with an intense heat the saving of the adjacent builder fright with the utmost difficulty bricks in the wall melted in ran like miniature beds of lava. Of the pipe leading from the tank he burned off, and a shaft of his-shot up into the flames. The tall near the building, were scorched adjacent buildings were in imminent destruction. Were it not for the badly the other houses would haveoyed. Not until well along towards day-the flames were got under control. Building fire burned with greatug all of Friday, and on Sunday when many visitors drove out to witness the scene of the fire, there still smouldering. Only the warehouse remained. Building was erected by Col. Northam height of the grape boom, in 160x50 feet, and was a substan-t structure. The fore part will be rebuilt. The rear part will be abandoned, and the stable placed near of the fire is thought to have subsidiary. A discharged employee, used with Foreman Hale and was jumping his board bill, and back to Anaheim from Pasadena, is. He is said to have been seen in riding down to Fullerton on evening, and a Chinese vegetable who knows the man, says he saw early Friday morning. —That abstracts are not at all times what they should be, is illustrated in the receipt by some of our citizens of postal cards sent out by Assessor Vegeley claiming back taxes that became delinquent as long ago as 1874. Judge Pierce is in receipt of three of these notices, representing that three parcels of property in town under his control were sold to the State for delinquent taxes in 1874, 1876 and 1880.

For hours it continued to bewail its unhappy lot, cooling out its sadness at its misfortune, and refusing to be comforted by its mate. Only the fact that the brick wall remained standing, interposing a barrier to the communication of the flames to the trunk, accounts for the escape of the tree from inevitable destruction. When the fire was in subsidence, leaving the building in ruins, and the tree top a mass of charred and blackened embers, the dove came circling above its nest, in such close approach to the waves of rising heat, that its presence was remarked by those gathered about the fire. Strange as it may appear, the nest was not destroyed, the green boughs whereon it rested, probably, repelling ignition. When the heat of the fire was yet so intense that it was impossible to approach to within any nearness of it, the dove, circling lower with each flight about the tree, came at last and settled upon its neat, the twigs of the tree smoking as if upon the point of ignition all about it. When that bird rears its young, which must be contingent upon whether the eggs were cooked or not, its offspring will have been brought forth, as it were, in a baptism of fire. Here is inspiration to move one to poetry. —One hears a good deal about sugar factories on the Cerritos nowadays, but the stockholders of the co-operative beet company have but one purpose ahead—they are bent upon disorganizing and getting out of the business of building sugar mills. One of the heaviest stockholders in the disintegrating concern was approached a day or two ago by a Cerritos boomer and asked to help out in deeding the 400 acres to the promoters of that enterprise, in order to pull the factory over the Orange county line. He was asked for a contribution of ten acres, contingent upon getting out his ninety odd Highest of all in Leavening Power.
