LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Dedication Services at the Christian Church. Large Congregations Attend the Services on Sunday Morning and Evening—Final Dissolution of the Co-Operative Beet Sugar Factory—While the Alamitos Factory Is About Ready to Begin Building Operations, the Management of the Co-Operative Company Has Been So Foolhardy that the Stockholders Vote Almost Unanimously to Disincorporate—Meeting of the Water Board—The Queer Letter Received by Herman Stern—Horrible Honax About Miss Vinson and her Papa—How the Lessening in the Price of Beets Has Resulted in a Large Shrinkage of this Season’s Crop—Local Brevities. The dedication services at the Christian Church on Center street on last Sunday morning were attended by a congregation that filled the spacious edifice to the doors. The church is a large and substantially built structure of modern architecture and is splendidly lighted by three large cathedral stained glass windows set well up in the sides of the building. It is hard finished throughout in polished wood and plaster, the ceiling being beautifully calsoined. Its seating capacity is in the neighborhood of a thousand, there being three tiers of pews, the seats being constructed in the latest pattern and placed in a semi-circle about the floor, which has an easy slant to the pulpit. The pulpit is on a raised platform at the rear of the edifice, back of which folding doors of polished wood lead to the baptistry. The structure is a splendid testimonial to the energy and enterprise of the congregation, who worshipped less than a year ago in a tent pitched upon the site of the present edifice. The exterior features of the building are the three large circular cathedral glass windows—one yellow, one green, the other purple—and a tower which surmounts the structure in a handsome manner above the main entrance. The interior finish gives a pleasing effect to the whole, the high ceiling making the perfect acoustic properties a pleasing feature of the edifice. The church was handsomely decorated with festoons of flowers and evergreens, and the audience was composed, in addition to the regular congregation, of the flocks of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches of this bills, $327 29; interest to Oct. 1, $1111 62; sundry amounts, $200; net balance in treasury, $4017 43.

The Secretary was authorized to purchase delinquent stock at next Saturday's sale, at a rate not to exceed $8 per share. Mr. Spencer brought up the matter of the ditch running along the south side of Mr. Schwenokert's place, which needs attending to. To the Superintendent. Engineer Rogers' term of office having expired, he was employed for another year at the same salary—$4 50 per day. FROM BEETS TO SUGAR. SEASON DRAWING TO A CLOSE—ANOTHER FORTNIGHT WILL LET IT OUT. Up to last evening fourteen thousand tons of beets had been shipped to Chino from Anaheim and Buena Park, and probably two thousand tons remain in the field to harvest. The average of these beets has been about 14 or 15 per cent. sugar, and the price has been something less than $4 per ton. Probably $50,000 would be a close estimate of the gross return for the crop. Last year we raised 27,000 tons of beets, and the gross return to the farmer was about $4 50 per ton. Last year the rate per ton was $3.50 for 12 per cent. beets, and at the beginning of the present season the offer was $3 per ton. To this the farmers objected seriously, and a compromise rate of $3.25 was finally agreed upon. But the acreage set to beets was vastly curtailed, and the shrinkage in the crop hereabout has been 11,000 for the season. At Chino probably 50,000 tons will be harvested. Estimates have been made as high as 60,000 tons, but these are considered too high by about 10,000 tons. The total tonnage, therefore, to be delivered at the factory from both places will be in the neighborhood of 66,000 tons, and there will be an apparent shortage of 21,000 tons of beets. This is attributable in great part to the decrease in the acreage on account of the low price. Names of farmers are being taken already for contracts to raise beets for the '97 season. Last year no contracts were made until just before time for the beginning of the planting season. After the factory was closed last year the only announcement made to the beet raisers was that a reduction in price would go into effect. How much was not stated until along in Kleinigkeiten. Monday was a legal holiday—State labor day, and the bank was closed for the day. Rev. Thomas D. Garvin began a series of revival meetings at the Christian church on Monday evening and will continue the same until further notice. Fogs so dense that they can be literally felt are the order of the mornings, and the best place for refuge from the noonday sun is under a willow tree. The festive gripe is once more on the rampage, but here and there some people are so busy with the measles that they haven't time to take it. At the meeting of the City Trustees on next Tuesday evening bids will be received for the purchase of $18,000 of municipal bonds for the enlargement of the electric light and water works. Dr. Head, Popercatic candidate for State Senator, C.P. Eldridge of Placentia and Prof. Welch of Santa Ana addressed the Popercats at the wigwam on Thursday evening. Jacob Walton's big barn at Westminster was destroyed by fire one night last week. The fire is thought to have been started by tramps sleeping in the hay. The loss is $1500. Boyd & Hatfield will have the election returns bulletined at Olympic Hall on the evening of November 3. Open all night, and everybody invited to come and hear the latest returns over the Associated Press wire. If we are to judge by the falling off in volume of the artesian wells, says a correspondent from Clair, we shall have another dry year sure. But those who say they know, say the landscape will be full of islands before the winter is half over. A telegram from Miss Katherine Fleming to her mother, Mrs. W. J. Smith of Orangethorpe, announces the marriage of her sister, Miss Irène Fleming, in New York City yesterday, the 7th inst., to Dr. John A. Lightfoot of Texarkana, Arkansas, by Rev. Dr. David James Burrell. A rumor was current on the street yesterday that Statesman O. V. Knowlton temporarily a guest at the Soldiers' Home at Santa Monica, had flopped to Bryan and free silver.

The church was handsomely decorated with festoons of flowers and evergreens, and the audience was composed, in addition to the regular congregation, of the flocks of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches of this city. The services were opened by the singing of the Doxology by the choir, composed of Mrs. Arthur Porter, Mrs. E. D. Knowlton, Mr. Berry and Mr. Ford, with Miss McChesay as the organist. Rev. Hawkins, who conducted revival services in the Christian tent here last year, read the opening lesson from the Scriptures. Rev. Stone of the Presbyterian Church offered an impressive prayer, after which Rev. J. C. Keith of East Los Angeles delivered the sermon, taking his text from the sixteenth chapter of Matthew, as follows: "When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, 'Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?' And they said, 'Some say that Thou art John the Baptist; some, Elias; and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.' He sayeth unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said unto him, Blessed art Thon, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Rev. Keith's sermon was an able, thoughtful and eloquent discourse, and was followed with close attention by the large congregation throughout. After the sermon a statement of finances was made by E. F. Kellogg, following which pledges and monetary contributions aggregating several hundred dollars were taken. After the services dinner was served to all by the members of the church under the trees in rear of the edifice. In the afternoon communion service was held, and in the evening Rev. Ward of Pasadena preached from the 127th Psalm to a congregation that again filled the house. DISINCORPORATED. THE CO-OPERATIVE BEET COMPANY LAID QUIETLY TO REST IN ITS GRAVE ON SATURDAY. At the meeting of the beet growers, held last Saturday afternoon, the vote on the disorganization of the corporation was almost unanimous, 3475 votes being cast in the affirmative while only five voted against disincorporation. The attendance was small, and two-thirds of the stock was represented by proxy. It was ordered that the Board of Directors petition the Superior Court for the dissolution of the company, which will be accomplished as speedily as possible. Over $4,500 of the assessment has been collected, and some $1,200 yet remains due. The sale of the delinquent stock has been postponed until the 20th inst., when the stock will be bought in by the company, and upon the return of the deeds to the stockholders writes of attachment will be immediately served upon them. This conclusion has been decided upon by the advice of the company's attorney. It is probable that another small assessment will be levied to defray the final expenses. At Chino probably 50,000 tons will be harvested. Estimates have been made high as 60,000 tons, but these are considered too high by about 10,000 tons. The total tonnage, therefore, to be delivered at the factory from both places will be in the neighborhood of 66,000 tons, and there will be an apparent shortage of 21,000 tons of beets. This is attributable in great part to the decrease in the acreage on account of the low price. Names of farmers are being taken already for contracts to raise boots for the '97 season. Last year no contracts were made until just before time for the beginning of planting season. After the factory was closed last year the only announcement made to the beet raisers was that a reduction in price would go into effect. How much was not stated until along in the spring, when a cut of 50 cents per ton was announced. Against this the farmers rebelled, and a compromise rate of $3.25 was made as stated. This year contracts are in sight by the score, but nothing has yet appeared in reference to the restoration of the old price. Another week or two will let the season out, and the Chino harvest will continue until the first of November. AVERAGE DAILY TESTS. Sugar. Purity.

Taylor, the silver-tongued orator for Colorado, would speak at the Democrat wlgwam in Planters' park last evening proves to be in error. Chisftain Molliam telephoned Big Medicine Man Baker at Santa Ana to learn whether T could be had to speak here, and the answer came back that he could. Bills were then upon distributed to town announcing coming, but subsequent developments proved that the Chief Medicine Man did not answer the telephone to that effect at all—did reply to anyone talking to him from a heim upon the subject, so he says question arises, Who answered McWilliams message?

Two carloads of steel rails arrived at the Southern Pacific depot yesterday, the advance guard of some thirty carloads that have been detained eight days by the wash-outs at Benson, A. T. These rails should have arrived here last week, and track laying was to have begun on Monday. The other rails are looked for to arrive at any time to-day or tomorrow, and track laying will begin as soon as they arrive. Eighteen carloads of ties have arrived, and the force of graders were yesterday within a short distance of the factory site. A man on the porch of A. M.

Who the caller might have distinction to be is not known—he might have been a tramp looking for lodgings, or it might have been the visit of one burglarsously inclined. The recent rise of thirteen cents in the price of wheat has put a matter of $78,-500,000 in the pockets of those American farmers and commission men who have held the 604,000,000 bushels new and old, of American stock while the rise has proceeded. But this benefit is paltry compared with that conferred by this opportune demolition of the basic “bimetallic” argument, which the free silver men have stolen with the rest of that doctrinaire outfit, of the indissolable tie between the price of this staple and that of silver. For, despite the stimulus of the first campaign in which one of the two chief parties in a State has been arrayed for its rehabilitation, the price of silver has not only kept pace with its indisparable yoke-fellow. It has fallen back. The price of silver ranged between 68 and 70 cents an ounce when the campaign opened. It is now ranging between 65½ and 66¾.

A. Clarke, the millionaire miner, Congressman and newspaperman of this city, is about to erect an extensive sugar plant at Anaheim, Cal. It will be one of the largest of the kind in the world, and will cost more than $400,-'000. It will grind 700 tons of sugar in the four months of the season. He is also consider- ing the erection of a sugar factory in Montana." Mr. Clarke is the moneyed man back of the Alamitos sugar factory. He is the largest stockholder in the enterprise, and his son, who lives in Montana, has also a large interest in the factory. His brother living in Los Angeles is likewise a heavy stockholder, and E. F. Dyer is also largely inter- ested in it. The capacity will be 300 tons daily for the season, but the machinery will be of sufficient size to double the capacity the second year. —The trial of the case of A. E. Harris of Westminster, a brother of County Treasurer Dick Harris, vs. Mrs. E. E. O'Connell, for the recovery of $40, alleged to be due for rent of a pasture occupied by the lady in the Peat Landse which was heard in Judge Pierce's court in this city on Thursday last, revealed the utter unfitness of Judge McCoy of Westminster, whose connection with the case we shall presently show, to preside in a court of justice. If any further evidence of Judge McCoy's incompetency were needed after his discharge of the rape fiend Baldwin on his preliminary examination (after which Baldwin was rearrested and sent to State Prison for eight years for his rape upon a little girl), the case at issue revealed it fully. Harris sued Mrs. O'Connell some weeks ago for $140 for rent on a pasture lot. Judge McCoy testified under oath in Judge Pierce's court on Thursday last that he had accepted $10 from Mrs. O'Connell to settle the case for $100! Mrs. O'Connell paid the court fees in addition thereto, and Harris accepted $100 and called it square. When another month's rent fell due, Harris sued for $40, the amount of the rental, but Judge McCoy could not try the case again, because he was caught in his own trap, and had to come into court and ask knowledge that he had accepted money in excess of his fee to "compromise" the case. Mrs. O'Connell held that the $100 paid on the "compromise" included the month's rent aided for. To this Harris demurred, and McCoy was brought into court to give the evidence which unfits him to preside as Justice of the Peace. Judge Pierce gave judgment in favor of plaintiff, with costs. Herman Stern was quite surprised to receive in the mail on Tuesday afternoon a letter from Kansas City, Mo., in an envelope bearing the motto of the "Gospel Union," with the inscription, "Behold He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him." He opened the letter and read as follows: KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 2, 1896. Mr. H. Stern, Anabeim, Cal. Dear Sir: Almost two years ago I had an account with your firm which I have not entirely paid yet. I would be very glad if you would tell me exactly what I owe you. I had intended to defraud you of the amount; but, praise God, I have recently been converted to the cause of Jesus Christ, and I now intend, by His grace, to repay as far as is in my power for all the wrongs I have done. It will probably be some time before I am able to repay you, as I have several similar debts to pay. Trusting that you will be patient with me and forgive the injury I have done you, I remain most respectfully yours, Guy P. Ehrhart. Herman considered the matter a horrible joke at first, but in looking up his old accounts found that Mr. Ehrhart was really indebted to him in a small amount, and was overjoyed to learn of the young man's conversion to the ways of the righteous. On first thoughts he concluded to telegraph the bill, insamuch as Mr. Ehrhart might possibly be converted back to evil ways again, but finally decided to wait for a remittance by mail, and has sent on a statement of the account, which he long since marked up to profit and loss.
