LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Anaheimers on the Pier at Long Beach.
A Delightful Drive, That From This City to the Beach, Through the Magnolia Beet Fields and the Alamitos Ranch—A Bad Runaway in which a Man is Knocked Insensible — A Rampant Republican and a Populist Prophet Come near Making a Bet on the Outcome of the Political Campaign—A Party of Santa Ana Gentlemen Drive Over to Inspect our Electric Lights—Billy Frantz Returns from the Circus, a Sadder but Wiser Man—Brevities.
Long Beach is coming to be an attractive resort for seekers after health and recreation at the seashore, and during the coming season of the Chautauqua Assembly probably quite a number of our citizens will spend the season there. On Sunday the faces of a number of Anaheimers were seen upon the pier and up town, several going over for the ride, which takes one through the picturesque Alamitos, and to picnic at some inviting nook on the shore.
The ride from Anaheim to Long Beach is one of the most delightful in the country. The road winds through the thickly settled region west of town, through the rich beet fields of West Anaheim and Magnolia, and for a distance along the low lying foothills skirting New river at Alamitos. Parties are fishing in the river as we pass, and many beauties of the finny tribe struggle upon the green award at the side of the placid stream. The fringe of willow and cottonwood trees aligns the course of the muddy river far as the eye can reach. On coming up abreast of the old-fashioned ranch-house on the hill, which may be soon for many miles over the intervening country, one has reawakened notions of the hospitality that reigns within. The road lies straightway to the ocean from the ranchhouse, for a distance of some four miles. The cooling breezes give an indication of the pleasures in store at the seaside, and soon one finds himself promoting upon the pier—after having partaken of a tempting luncheon. Here one sees the cowl youth and the giddy giggling gum-chowing schoolgirl—the sweet thing—side by side with others having a more weighty purpose in life, struggling along the wharf weighted down with splendid specimens of yellow tail just taken from the water. All of Long Beach, as well as the visitors from the surrounding country, are upon the pier,
scious for quite a while. The horse continued across the street, where the vehicle was overturned, and the animal freein-himself from the demolished vehicle, continued out Los Angeles street. A crowd soon gathered about the prostrate man, and did what they could to revive him. He shortly regained consciousness, and it being found that no bones were broken or other bad injuries sustained, he was taken to a room near by and made as comfortable as possible.
Johnny Cleveland went after the horse and recovered him south of town and brought him back. The harness was scattered pretty well over the road. The vehicle was run into the blacksmith shop for repairs.
BACK FROM THE CIRCUS.
PROF. FRANTZ HAS HIS FILL OF RED-FIRE EXHILERATION, AND JUMPS THE SHOW WHEN HIS FINANCES RUN LOW, IN DENVER, FAR FAR FROM HOME.
Prof. Frantz and Frank Eastman have returned from their circus trip, having forsaken the glamours of that sort of existence. The Professor is of the unalterable conviction that traveling with the circus is not all that it's cracked up to be. He jumped the show at Denver, after a period of luminous red-fire exhileration stretching from San Bernardino across Arizona and New Mexico and to the Colorado capital. He disposed of the ostriches for $200, and will in future content himself with settling down to the humdrum of every-day existence. The Professor will take back his barber shop, and will abandon ostrich training. He didn't make a mint of money while away, but he got a whole lot of experience, which will be valuable to him in his future life.
THE PROFESSOR AND HIS BIRD HAVE THEIR PICTURE TAKEN.
The Professor was the feature of the show, as long as he lasted. He wore, when driving his trained ostrich in the hippodrome, a pair of green silk trousers, with gold fringe, red-top patent-leather riding boots, red silk cap, white shirt, and diamonds throwing a flash light big enough to be on the assessment roll. He was not paid a cent for his

On coming up ahead of the old-fashioned ranch-house on the hill, which may be seen for many miles over the intervening country, one has reswakened notions of the hospitality that reigns within. The road lies straightaway to the ocean from the ranchhouse, for a distance of some four miles. The cooling breezes give an indication of the pleasures in store at the seaside, and soon one finds himself promoting upon the pier—after having partaken of a tempting luncheon. Here one sees the callow youth and the giddy giggling gum-chowing schoolgirl—the sweet thing—side by side with others having a more weighty purpose in life, straggling along the wharf weighted down with splendid specimens of yellow tail just taken from the water. All of Long Beach, as well as the visitors from the surrounding country, are upon the pier, although the wind blows nigh unto a gale. But the fresh wind adds an agreeable reliish to exaltance when thoughts recur to the homeward journey along the dutty roads of the foothills.

THE PROFESSOR AND HIS BIRD HAVE THEIR PICTURE TAKEN.
The Professor was the feature of the show, as long as he lasted. He wore, when driving his trained ostrich in the hippodrome, a pair of green silk trousers, with gold fringe, red-top patent-leather riding boots, red silk cap, white shirt, and diamonds throwing a flash light big enough to be on the assessment roll. He was not paid a cent for his part of the performance, and says the cirous people were the toughest lot of humanity he ever sat eyes upon.
His ostrich was turned into the pen containing the four every day circus ostrohes, one of which possessed a particularly disagreeable temper, and at one point in Arizona it kicked Frank Eastman and knocked him almost into kingdom fame.
Franz was in the pen at the time, trying to get his ostrich out to race in the hippodrome against the mule which was selected to be the bird’s regular running mate. The bird came after him. Franz boat a hasty retreat, and crawled under the fence in time to escape with a badly torn pair of pants, and he pulled Eastman out of the corral after him, just as the bird was preparing to despatch him. Franz thought Eastman was killed, but he came to later on, and was soon all right again.
At Denver the circus showed to 3,000 people in the afternoon, and so great was the excitement over the ostrich and mule race in the hippodrome that the crowd in the evening numbered 7,000. Franz beat the mule every time and never had stage fright, but the tough life with the circus, and the hard work for the ostrich (which had to pull the cart through the out-up course of the hippodrome, in sand six inches deep), was too much for him, and as finances were low and Wallace refused to pay him any salary, he decided to quit the circus and he and Eastman came home. They sold their two birds for $200, and it cost them about $100 to get home. Only the male bird was of any account, and Frantz says he was a bird. The female bird turned out bad, and wasn’t shucked.
A Santa Ana paper says Frantz lost $800 on the trip, but Frantz insisted us yesterday that he never had $800 to lose. He will settle down to the barbering and laundry business, and will try to make an honest living, and hopes to have all his old customers back again.
“DISHORGANISH!”
ONE HIGH IN AUTHORITY IN SUGAR BEET COUNCIILS LOOKS UPON THE WINE WHEN IT IS RED AND CONTACTS A JAG.

“We might have had it here (hic) only people wouldn’t stand by me (hic). Lets have a drink.”
These surprising words were uttered by one high in the councils of the sugar factory, one afternoon a day or two ago. He was feeling what the boys call “rather gay,” and he insisted on people drinking with him.
Drinks had not been so easy of access since the time of the Baron’s visit.
When last seen the sugar factory builder was gesticulating wildly and exposulating.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
A bad runaway accident occurred on Center street on Tuesday afternoon in which a man named Blockberger, who lives in Los Angeles, met with painful and for a time it was thought very serious injuries. Blockberger and his partner, W. Richards, were traveling about the county mending gasoline stoves, and were driving on Center street near the City Hall, in their own rig, a small spring wagon drawn by a single horse, when the animal took fright at a colt running loose in the street and started to run away. Richards, who is the younger man of the two, sprang from his seat to the ground and caught the horse before it bolted. After quieting the beast, Richards attempted to get into the wagon. When he let go of the lines, the horse broke away at a run, narrowly missing colliding with several passing vehicles. The animal turned at the corner of Los Angeles street, striking the electric light pole at Stern Bros.' scales and throwing Blockberger violently to the ground. He was kuocked insensible, and rymalned unco

Curative power is contained in Hood's Sarasaparilla than in any other similar preparation. It costs the proprietor and manufacturer more. It costs the jobber more and it is worth more to the consumer. More skill is required in its preparation and it combines more remedial qualities than any other medicine. Consequently it has a record of more cures and its sales are more than those of any other preparation. Hood's Sarasaparilla is the best medicine to buy because it is an honest medicine and thousands of testimonials prove that it does actually and permanently cure disease.
Wm. D. Hofius and Emma K. Hofius, his wife, living in Los Angeles, have filed articles of separation with the County Recorder, and the former agrees to pay the latter $75 per month, beginning yesterday, and has deeded in trust therefor lots 8, 9 and 16, block F, of the Kraemer tract.
The Annual Chantauqua Assembly of Southern California will meet at Long Beach on the 14th inst., and will continue in session ten days.

We acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary season ticket.
Next Saturday is the Glorious Fourth, and in obedience to time-honored custom, business will probably be generally suspended and the day given over to a fitting celebration of the nation's glorious holiday. No celebration of any extended character is contemplated in town, and probably there will be a good turnout of our patriotic people to the festivities at Fullerton.
Tom Hill, a native of the Green Isles, and Louis and John Gustafson, natives of Sweden, were on Saturday made citizens of the United States in the Superior Court at Santa Ana. Tom is the well-known horticulturist of Alamitos, leader of the Clair A. P.A., and all-round good fellow, and the Gustafson boys are the well-known beet raisers of West Anaheim.
Mr. Harker is in receipt of a Kansas paper giving a hair-raising account of a visitation of a "twister" in its immediate vicinity. "Twisters" are cyclones. Cyclones are—ask Harker; he'll tell you. Kansas is not Harker's native State, however. He comes from New Jersey, the State where they have clams, oysters and fish—crabs—turtles—don't have to dig 'em out of the ground. Harker is solid for McKinley and Hobart.
Our friend John Goodale is one of the pillars of Populist party strength hereabout, and grows truly eloquent when in argument in defense of the rights of the people. He has the different platforms at his fingers' ends, and can talk a gold-bug to a standstill on silver at 16 to 1. Municipal ownership being one of the cardinal points in the People's party faith, we count upon John's stanchion assistance in the cause of the electric light and water proposition now before our people.
Col. Keith was down from Los Angeles on Monday, having in tow a tenderfoot who contemplated purchasing. The Colonel has a lot of fun rounding up prospective purchasers of real estate, and has so many calls from the incoming horde of tenderfeet that it is at times days and days before he can get home to dinner. He lets few of them

Henry Knapke has given up his saloon and has retired to his residence on Adele street, where he is quite orifically ill with a cancerous affection of the neck. He has consulted a number of physicians, among them Dr. Kurtz of Los Angeles, who holds out little hope for him. He thinks of going to the hot springs at Capistrano, to take a course of waters for his ailment.
Mons. Cahen is the recipient of a very pleasant surprise party at the hands of his numerous friends on Tuesday evening, who called to pay their respects and to cheer him in his solitude, now that his wife and family are away visiting. Joviality and merriment went hand in hand until a late hour, and just before the electric lights were turned off at the power-house the meeting adjourned.

In that event, as we recently said, the rails will be taken up and the road abandoned.
The Catholic Church at Santa Ana was completely destroyed by fire on Sunday afternoon at half-past 2 o'clock. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed to have started by a burning candle which had been left on the altar after services, which were concluded at noon. Rev. Father Cote of Los Angeles, who has been taking Father Smith's place in this city, during that gentleman's short vacation in Los Angeles, preached the sermon, returning to this city after the services. The Catholic parish at Santa Ana was recently merged into that in this city, and placed under charge of Father Smith.
After deliberating for seven hours, from 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon to 11 o'clock that night, in the Superior Court at Santa Ana, the jury in the case of the People vs. George Baldwin, charged with committing rape upon the person of a twelve-year-old girl at Bolsa, returned a verdict of guilty of assault with intent to commit rape. William Crowther was foreman of the jury. This was the second trial, the first having resulted in a hung jury, eleven jurymen considering Baldwin guilty of attempt to commit rape, and one standing out for rape. Bald-

T. J. Robinson was in from his ranch at Clair on Saturday. He doesn't know what makes the hard times, whether it is the Democratic party, or the fact that the Republicans will soon come into power again. Mr. Robinson is for free colonage of silver, and his views on this absorbing political question are shared by in the bulk of the people of the country.
Mrs. Mary J. Foster of Centralia was granted a divorce in the Superior Court at Santa Ana on Saturday last, from her husband, Edwin J. Foster, on the ground of desertion. The lady was wedded to Foster in the State of Washington some six years ago, and from reports concerning him he must have been a particularly unprincipled and despicable fellow.
Judge Pierce has received word from County Recorder Scott that two of the sales of real estate disposed of to the State for delinquent taxes in 1874 and 1876, mention of which was made in these columns last week, are found to be illegal.

Res, who arrived with her family yesterday from hear of loss by the cyclone, but glad to hear he is still in the land or living, when so many of his neighbors were killed all around him.

Mr. J. B. Rea and family came up from El Cajon, San Diego county, yesterday morning, to remain permanently, and their household goods were due to follow them on the afternoon freight. Mr. Rea's family consists of himself and wife and two daughters, and they will prove to be very desirable additions to our society. Mr. Rea's place at Katella is one of the objects of conspious horticultural beauty hereabouts—we doubt if a handsomer or more promising orchard of walnut and almond trees can be found in Southern California.
An evening or two before the departure of the family from their home in El Cajon, their friends and neighbors to the number of 400 gathered about the residence, and to the martial airs of brass music, a farewell surprise was tendered the departing family. The surprise was as complete as the object of it was deserving, and Mr. Rea tells us he did not know he had so many friends. But

Baldwin will appear to-morrow for sentence. The penalty is from one to fourteen years.
Max Nebelung is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Finck, uncle of his wife, who resides in St. Louis, detailing the losses sustained in the recent cyclone. Mr. Finck's residence was partly blown down, entailing a loss of some three thousand dollars. Henry T. Finck, well-known New York newspaper man, son of the gentleman referred to, had been visiting St. Louis with his wife, but took his departure for the East the morning of the storm. He could see the storm coming from the car window, and afterwards learned that the room which he had occupied in his father's house had been demolished by the storm.
-Lee Bourland, son of Editor Bourland of the Independent, had the bad luck, while oiling the horse power at the residence on Monday, preparatory to starting the horse to pumping water for the tank, to have his arm caught in the apparatus, owing to the premature starting up of the animal, and narrowly escaped a broken arm. The shoulder, elbow and wrist joints were wrenched, and the horse was only stopped in time to save him from sustaining very serious fractures. The arm is now being carried in a sling. With the father compelled to use crutches, as a result of his recent mishap at Laguna, whereby his knee was wrenched, and the son with his arm in a sling, the troubles in the family of our cateneued contemporary seem to be coming rather more rapidly, indeed, than law allows. Miss Maggie Bourland, the accomplished daughter of the house of that name, is to rescue in this dilemma, and always a valued attachance of the office, will this week redouble her efforts, and the Independent will no doubt appear on time. Miss Maggie is a jewel, and with her father on crutches and her brother with his arm in a sling, we may look to see the paper better than ever. Soriously, however, we trust our friend may soon be able to throw his crutches away and be quite himself again.
Mr. J. B. Rea and family came up from El Cajon, San Diego county, yesterday morning, to remain permanently, and their household goods were due to follow them on the afternoon freight. Mr. Rea's family consists of himself and wife and two daughters, and they will prove to be very desirable additions to our society. Mr. Rea's place at Katella is one of the objects of conspious horticultural beauty hereabouts—we doubt if a handsomer or more promising orchard of walnut and almond trees can be found in Southern California.
An evening or two before the departure of the family from their home in El Cajon, their friends and neighbors to the number of 400 gathered about the residence, and to the martial airs of brass music, a farewell surprise was tendered the departing family. The surprise was as complete as the object of it was deserving, and Mr. Rea tells us he did not know he had so many friends. But
After deliberating for seven hours, from 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon to 11 o'clock that night, in the Superior Court at Santa Ana, the jury in the case of the People va. George Baldwin, charged with commit- rape upon the person of a twelve-year-old girl at Bolas, returned a verdict of guilty of assault with intent to commit rape. William Crowther was foreman of the jury. This was the second trial, the first having resulted in a hung jury, eleven jurymen consider-Baldwin guilty of attempt to commit rape, and one standing out tor rape. Baldwin will appear to-morrow for sentence. The penalty is from one to fourteen years.
Max Nebelung is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Finck, uncle of his wife, who resides in St. Louis, detailing the losses sustained in the recent cyclone. Mr. Finck's residence was partly blown down, entailing a loss of some three thousand dollars. Henry T. Finck, well-known New York newspaper man, son of the gentleman referred to, had been visiting St. Louis with his wife, but took his departure for the East the morning of the storm. He could see the storm coming from the car window, and afterwards learned that the room which he had occupied in his father's house had been demolished by the storm.
-Lee Bourland, son of Editor Bourland of the Independent, had the bad luck, while oiling the horse power at the residence on Monday, preparatory to starting the horse to pumping water for the tank, to have his arm caught in the apparatus, owing to the premature starting up of the animal, and narrowly escaped a broken arm. The shoulder, elbow and wrist joints were wrenched, and the horse was only stopped in time to save him from sustaining very serious fractures. The arm is now being carried in a sling. With the father compelled to use crutches, as a result of his recent mishap at Laguna, whereby his knee was wrenched, and the son with his arm in a sling, the troubles in the family of our cateneued contemporary seem to be coming rather more rapidly,inde than law allows.Miss Maggie Bourland,the accomplished daughter ofthe houseofthatnameistotherescueinthisdilemma,andalwaysavaluedattachanceoftheoffice.willthisweekredoubleherefforts,andtheIndependentwillno doubtappearontime.MissMaggieisajewel,andwithherfatheroncrutchesandherbrotherwithhisarminalingswemaylooktoseethepaperbetterever.Soriouslyhowever,wetrustourfriendmaysoebenabletothrowhiscrutchesawayandbequitehimselfagain.
