CHICAGO, Dec. 14. — From Halsted street to the river and from Twelfth street to the unavoidable river again the Seventh ward was bursting with happiness yesterday over the favorable termination of a romance that has held the interest of the Seventh warders since Brenner was elected Alderman last spring. It is the story of the hearts of Miss Sarah Zeunen and L. D. Katson. She was a Seventh ward belle, though she counted but eighteen years. Now she is a wife in a little town near Brainerd, Minn., where Katson has taken her. Their courtship, which came about in a singular manner, ended yesterday in Milwaukee. Mr. Katson, having arrived at that state where he might with all prudence take unto himself a wife, cast his eye over the Minnesota upland and saw not one dwelling where a maiden dwelt. The nearest town, too, he ransacked and found none fancy free. Long days of anxious pondering brought to him an idea. Katson got an egg, sat himself down and wrote. Close and orabbed were the markings of the violet ink on the pink flushed shell of the egg, but when all was done this might be read in a good light: GRAND JURY REPORT. The following is the report of the Grand Jury, made to the Superior Court on Thursday last, Dec. 24, 1896: We, the Grand Jury, empanelled and charged by your Honor in open Court Nov. 30, 1896, herewith beg leave to submit our full and final report: We have made a careful examination of the books, records and accounts of the various county and city officials, also public buildings, roads and bridges throughout the county. This work was expedited by various committees appointed by the foreman, and said committees were assisted when necessary by an expert accountant. The books of the county and city officials were found correct and neatly kept. We are satisfied there has been no violation of sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the County Government Act. We append as exhibit "A" the County Treasurer's receipts and disbursements from Nov. 1, 1895, to Nov. 1, 1896. Also as exhibit "B," Anaheim City Treasurer's report of receipts and disbursements from Nov. 11, 1895, to Nov. 9, 1896. As exhibit "C," Orange City Treasurer's report of receipts and disbursements from Nov. 1, 1895, to Nov. 1, 1896. The books and public documents in the various county offices have accumulated to such an extent that the vault room is entirely insanequate, and many of the public records are now being boxed and stored away, to the inconvenience of both officials and the public, and inviting an irreparable loss to the county from fire. We therefore recommend that a suitable fire-proof safe be at once procured for their protection and convenience. The books of the Treasurer of the city of Santa Ana on Nov. 1, 1896, show a credit balance to the different funds, as follows: General fund, $4,962 69; street fund, $64 01; water works fund, $1,085 23; high school fund, $502 89; library fund,$252 62. City Clerk Tedford's books show that the total receipts of the water works from Nov. 1, 1895, to Nov. 1, 1896, were $18,776 65; the total expenditures, including interest account and canceled bonds Nos. 13, 14 and 15, of $1000 each, were $14,737 70, showing a gain in receipts over expenditures of $4,-038 95.

KEY WEST, Fla., Dec. 24. — The flag of Cuba has met the red and yellow beret of Castile upon the seas. The shell and rifle volleys of a brave boat have made answer to the roar of twelve-pounders and have gained liberty the first victory on the ocean. The filibustering steamer Three sailed from Fernandina, Fla., Sunday December 13, carrying a valuable munitions war for the Cuban insurrection after eluding the vigilance of the States war ships and revenue outposts dodging every sail upon the ocean, the steamer, with about fifty men, was bailing distance of Cuba on the sixth day. but eighteen years. Now she is a wife in a little town near Brainerd, Minn., where Katson has taken her. Their courtship, which came about in a singular manner, ended yesterday in Milwaukee. Mr. Katson, having arrived at that state where he might with all prudence take unto himself a wife, cast his eye over the Minnesota upland and saw not one dwelling where a maiden dwelt. The nearest town, too, he ransacked and found none fancy free. Long days of anxious pondering brought to him an idea. Katson got an egg, rat himself down and wrote, Cluse and abraved were the markings of the violet ink on the pink flushed shell of the egg, but when all was done this might be read in a good light: To the woman into whose hands this may fall: I am a bachelor, young, good looking, and with money in the bank, and I desire a wife. Will you have me? I live on my farm here, where I am prosperous and have a steady income. The money in the bank is enough to secure me and mine against want in two bad seasons, and I am of a loving disposition. This is the only method I have of reaching a good housewife. L. D. Katson, P. O. Brainerd, Minn. In a case of eggs he placed his love message. The expressman shot the case athwart his car and the drayman dropped it kerplunk on the sidewalk of the commission house, but the eggs broke not. The candler took time to smile and think of things far away when the tender words met his eye. The great stream of commerce, with its dozens of radiating branches, seized the egg and carried it to the little off the main-road store of Mrs. Levinson at Maxwell street and Newberry avenue. Her daughter, Nina Glickman, girl-like, seized on the love message. Her friends and she laughed over it, and told brave stories of letters they would write and some of them did write. Among them Sarah Zeunen, who lived just south of the little grocery, sent a photograph and a letter. The summer came, and letters became things of every day to L. D. Katson on the Minnesota prairie and the little girl in stuffy Newberry avenue. The fall brought to Katson thoughts of the long winter and its lonesome stretches of unchanging days and nights, and he sent, by express this time, a sparkling ring. It was not returned, and when the beginning of the snow season was upon him, Katson urged the naming of the day. He came to Chicago to urge it, and Mr. and Mrs. Zeunen, ignorant of the long and loving correspondence, were surprised to see a strange young man call on Sarah. He came twice and then vanished, so they thought no more about it. But Friday Sarah whispered a secret in the ears of her girl friends, and that night she left suddenly for Milwaukee. Each friend to whom things had been whispered bought a bushel of eggs, and the surprise party that gathered at the Northwestern depot carried Miss Zeunen by storm. What she will do with all the eggs is a problem in household economy out in Brainerd. Miss Zeunen reached Milwaukee and her lover's arms in good time, and so they were married, and if they follow the precedents in such cases they will live happily ever afterward. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulations and testimonials. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, The books of the Treasurer of the city of Santa Ana on Nov. 1, 1896; show a credit balance to the different funds, as follows: General fund, $4,962 69; street fund,$64 01; water works fund,$1,085 23; high school fund,$502 89; library fund,$252 62. City Clerk Teddies books show that the receipts of the water works from Nov. 1, 1895, to Nov. 1, 1896, were $18,776 65; the total expenditures, including interest account and canceled bonds Nos. 13, 14 and 15, of $1000 each, were $14,737 70, showing a gain in receipts over expenditures of $4,-038 95. In the Surveyor's office we recommend that all road maps and other surveys made by order of the Board of Supervisors be filed with the County Surveyor, and be properly indexed, such maps and surveye thereafter to be remain the property of the county, in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 144 of the County Government Act. We also recommend that the Assessor's office be supplied with suitable indexed receptacles for past assessment lists. We found several jails of the county in good condition, especially the one at Capistrano, which is well built, new and clean. We would recommend that the jails at Anaheim and Orange be furnished with canvas cots, similar to the ones to be used in the new County Jail, and that the vaulte be arranged that they can be conveniently removed and emptied. The number of indigents now on the list is 74, as against 80 reported by the Grand Jury of 1895. Of this number 30 are whites and 44 Mexicans. The amount paid out during the year (from Nov. 1, 1895, to Nov. 1, 1896) for so count of hospital fund was $8,634 15. This includes $2,-243 53 received from the State for account of said fund, The average paid for indigents, monthly was $719 50, as against $623 for the preceding year. As this amount is annually increasing, a material saving could be made to the county by the Board of Supervisors buying and maintaining a poor farm. And we so recommend. We ascertain from the Auditor's books that the sum of $21,474 has been expended on the public highways of this county from Nov. 1, 1895, to Nov. 1, 1896. After having made a careful examination of said roads and bridges, we are of the opinion that they are not in the condition they should be considering the amount expended. We found the first bridge north of El Turo in bad condition. The bridge near the county line on the San Diego road needs immediate repair. On the Santa Ana Canyon road we found several places which are in need of immediate attention, for if neglected until heavy rains, the expense would be much greater than if attended to at once. Under two bridges near Fullerton, tramps are in the habit of building camp fires, and have accumulated piles of brush and kindling wood. This should be stopped at once. The union bridge over the Santa Ana river, we found to be in a bad condition, many of the piles rotted, and the floor badly worn. In view of the amount of work necessary on said bridge, we recommend the erection of a new one at a distance from the Southern Pacific railroad. The second bridge from Fullerton on the Brea Canyon road, and the bridge on the Whittier road, near the county line, are both in need of repairs. The grade near Cypress schoolhouse should have several culverts put in. The road leading west from Bola school house is in bad shape, and considerable work should be done therow immediately. The bridge on Fairview road crossing the along near the Forbs place is in an unsafe condition for the crossing of loaded wagons. We recommend that piling be put in immereal Cypress schoolhouse. The books of the Treasurer of the city of Santa Ana on Nov. 1, 1896; show a credit balance to different funds as follows: General fund,$4,962 69; street fund,$64 01; water works fund,$1,085 23; high school fund,$502 89; library fund,$252 62.

H SEALE, Proprietor. Advices received from Routt county, Col., indicate that war between the cattlemen and the sheepmen may break out any day. For the past few days cattlemen, ranohmen and others interested in maintaining the range of Routt county for the benefit of cattle have been congregating in the northwestern portion of the county at a point on Lower Snake River. The men came in two and three and companies numbering as many as thirty-five. Every man is well mounted and thoroughly armed. Mess wagons accompany many of the largest outfits and every preparation appears to have been made for a lengthy campaign. There are two hundred and fifty men in two camps along the Snake River. Military rule has been adopted, and the men are divided into companies, each company having a captain with a commander-in-chief in charge of the entire force. No one is allowed to come or go without being satisfactorily accounted for. This precaution is due to a report which was received to the effect that Griff and Jack Edwards, the principal sheep owners, have secured the services of a large force of men to meet the stockmen. The trouble has been brewing for some months and feeling has been running high, especially in the Brown's Park country, where the greater portion of the sheep are now ranging. The Brown Park men say their cattle range is utterly devastated by the sheep. The stockmen will request the sheep-men to remove the sheep across the boundary line, and, if they refuse, will assume the task themselves and maintain a guard to enforce the boundary.

The second bridge from Fullerton on the Brea Canyon road, and the bridge on the Whittier road, near the county line, are both in need of repairs. The grade near Cypress schoolhouse should have several culverts put in. The road leading west from Bolsa school house is in bad shape, and considerable work should be done thereon immediately. The bridge on Fairview road, crossing the slough near the Forbs place, is in an unsafe condition for the crossing of loaded wagons. We recommend that piling be put in immediately. The bridge over the Santa Ana river near Newport Beach should be at once condemned, as there are not to exceed twenty sound piles under the entire structure, and it is unsafe for the crossing of even light vehicles. The beach road from Laguna through Arch Beach to San Juan and the bridges thereon are in need of repair. The road leading north from Ocean View schoolhouse, on section line, is rendered almost impassable in some places by overflow from artesian wells. We recommend that the law relating to such cases be enforced. The asphalt covering on bridges is being badly damaged by fast driving. And we recommend that the law covering such cases be strictly enforced. [The exhibit showing the detailed monthly report of the City Treasurer of Anaheim during the year we omit, the reports of the condition of the Treasury having appeared in these columns every month during the year. The report is found to be correct, and the exhibit is on file at this office.

The shell did not burst, but Spaniards seemed paralyzed with fear. Several men on the lower deck opened with their rifles and this was followed rattling volley from the line of men upper deck. The shrapnel fired from Hotchkiss ended the fight, as the Spaniardsailed away, firing rockets calling forance. The call for assistance was answered, for while the filibuster was ing into position to allow the Hotchkiss play upon the enemy, a gunboat, two size of the coaster, appeared on the porch. She opened fire with heavy guns but not have the range. Gunner Welsh ran another shrapnel into the gun on them and yanked the lanyard. The shot straight for the gunboat and burst diving over her. It was answered by a heavier thunder from the gunboat retaliation shell for spell. The shot from the Spaniards disabled two of the landing boats of its buster, but did no other damage. Hotchkiss was again loaded with shades and the next discharge struck the amidships. Then the Three Friends paused steam, leaving the warship possibly able but at all events silent and detached out of sight behind a point of land.

A vessel putting in at Labson after a trip around Cape Horn reports the destruction by volcanic action of Juan Feroandez Island, famous as the fabbed home of Robinson Crusoe. One hundred convicts in the Frankfort, Ky., penitentiary filed a petition with the Governor for pardon. They stated in their petition that if pardoned they would go to Cuba and fight to free the island. The Governor could not see it that way. The McKinley Marching Club of Tuscola, Ill., carrying a mammoth horn to Washington afloat, suffered an outrage at Trafalgar, Ind., at noon Saturday. While the carriers were at dinner a mob sent a delegate to the house to give the men ten minutes to leave town. The mob took off and burned the flag and smashed the horn into a shapeless mass. It was patched and the journey continued. Four healthy sons were born to Noah Scott and wife last week at Shelbyville, Ind. They have been christened William J. Brown, George R. Williams, Arthur Sewell and Danielle Mathone Scott. March 4, 1892, and daughter were born in Mr. Scott and wife and were named Grover and Frances. The father received in return a letter of thanks in Mr. Cleveland's own hand writing. While Mr. and Mrs. Walter Alverson, of Chicago were visiting Mrs. Alverson's sick mother who lived several squares away on Christmas eve a burglar in the guise of Santa Claus entered the house, amused the children and made away with $300 worth of valuables and a full stomach. Little Walter Alverson heard a noise in his room and saw a man in Santa Claus garb move about. "Here I am, Santa Claus," said Walter. "Well, well," he said, "I know your father and mother were away, but I didn't expect to be caught by you little folks." Walter awakened his brother and sister and the three children went to the kitchen, where Santa Claus amused them for half an hour and ate his fill. At 10:30 he disappeared with his sack, and when the Alverson returned home they found the house had been burglarized. The patriotism of Mexicans and their fervent love of liberty is shown in their strong sympathy with the Cuban people. Eleven years ago John Crim went to his home in Flat Rock, Ind., from the village store and informed his wife that he had made an effort to secure something for their babies for Christmas, but not having the money the merchant refused, and the little ones would have to do without any presents. His wife told him not to grieve, saying that she had a few trinkets laid away for their children, and that they could get along until the sawmill started up. About midnight the husband area, kissed his wife as she slept, as he did the children, wrote a note asking his wife not to worry about him and to await his return. He disappeared, and nothing was ever heard of him by his wife or friends until last week, when a well dressed man walked into the store at Flat Rock. It was John Crim. He asked the direction to Mary Crim's residence. A boy 12 years old stepped forward with the remark that he would show him to his mother's house. Crim recognized his child, and elapsed him to his breast, and almost carried him to the house. Crim had been in British Columbia for ten years engaged in mining, and had amassed a fortune. The reunion of the family was a happy one. Central Market in Cleveland, Ohio, was crowded and jammed with between two and three thousand Christmas shoppers about 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, when suddenly a terrific explosion occurred, which immediately followed by acts of fire. The crowd became panic stricken, and basket-laden women, many of them leading children, were knocked down and trampled by the frenzied people. A number received cuts and bruises, but no one is reported seriously injured. The explosion was caused by an oil tank connected with a heater. Five hundred dollars was on the cashier's desk when the explosion came, and the money was blown in all directions. The fire was soon extinguished, and then the crowd began fighting for the coins and bills which were scattered over the market place. In this scrimmage most of the personal injuries were received. It was only after a hard and combined fight by the police and fire department that the maddened crowd was restored to anything like order. In addition to the bodily injuries by many score of people, hundreds lost what they had purchased and were carrying in their arms when the excitement began. Anna Belle Whitford, the young New York girl on whose information the raid at The shrapnel and rifle volley of a brave filibuster made answer to the roar of Spanish slave-pounders and have gained for Cuba the first victory on the ocean. The filibustering steamer Three Friends had from Fornandina, Fin, Sunday night, December 13, carrying a valuable cargo of provisions of war for the Cuban insurgents. Armed with the vigilance of the United States war ships and revenue cutters and being every sail upon the ocean, the little mermaid, with about fifty men, was within distance of Cuba on the sixth night. Three Friends put in again to the boat and safely landed her cargo on the deck of the great Zapata swamp. Not before Cuba's struggle for liberty has the Spain been fired upon at sea. No filibuster, after having been attacked by the enemy, has stood by her guns and ended her perilous mission. When the filibuster was within 400 yards of Cuba shore the engineer discovered living object in the darkness under the informed Capt. Lewis that he saw a barge without further aid the filibuster had swiftly to starboard and pointed for open sea. Few persons aboard had seen Spanishard, Capt. O'Brien, after allowing ship to scamper three or four hundred miles, hove to, then becked toward the San Francisco coast. A moment more the black shape of a foot coaster was seen starting out in direction of the Three Friends. Away from the filibuster, and behind, emerging in shadow along the shore, came the merchant. For a few minutes the exciting race continued and a flash from the coaster and silver solid shot splashed in the water, and metal rods neared the vessel. Paramedist and mer were each under full steam, and they were each under full steam, and were pouring into their cannons. They knew about eight hundred yards apart, the Spanishard fired for the third time, a few rods astern the filibuster, but direct line. See The Hotobkiss," commanded Maj. Jules. Enumer Michael Welsh, who with his had stood by the twelve pounder in now, heard the command with joy and led to Capt. O'Brien to swing the ship indoors. In a minute the filibuster was abroadside the coaster. The latter boomed forth again, but she had not cleared away before the skies in the Three Friends' prowled forth and sent a shell between the masts of the coaster, squarely over her deck. The shell did not burst, but the arms seemed paralyzed with fear. Several men on the lower deck opened fire their rifles and this was followed by a long volley from the line of men on the deck. The shrapnel fired from the kinkiss ended the fight, as the Spanishards away, firing rockets calling for assistance. The call for assistance was promptly ordered, for while the filibuster was swinging to position to allow the Hotobkiss to snap the enemy, a gunboat twice off the coaster, appeared on the port. Opened fire with heavy quail but did seriously injured, a full stomach. Little Walter Alveron heard a noise in his room and saw a man in Santa Claus garb move about. "Here I am, Santa Claus," said Walter. Well, well," he said, "I know your father and mother were away, but I didn't expect to be caught by you little folks." Walter awakened his brother and sister and the three children went to the kitchen, where Santa Claus amused them for half an hour and ate his fill. At 10:30 he disappeared with his sack, and when the Alverons returned home they found the house had been burglarized. The patriotism of Mexicans and their ferent love of liberty is shown in their strong sympathy with the Cuban insurgente. Every day during the past six months there have been encounters in the City of Mexico between Mexicans and Spaniards, and the general government is taking severe measures to quell any public demonstration of hostility to Spain. In the city of San Luis Potosu the feeling runs so high that serious trouble is threatened. A mob gathered in that city, inflamed by a circular letter said to have been written by a Spaniard, and defaming Mexicans and Mexican institutions, especially in reference to the part taken in sympathy with the Cubans. This circular precipitated a riot. A crowd gathered early in the evening, constantly growing in numbers and violence, until at 10 o'clock it had reached the proportions of a mob that swept everything before it. The mob gathered in front of the Spanish Consulate and threatened to demolish the structure, but were finally controlled by one or two cool heads. The banners, inscribed with huge red letters, were flaunted before the Consulate, and violent talk and insults bandied. The Spanish Consul was in great peril and appealed to the authorities to protect him. The mob finally left, after severe measures had been taken by the police, and plans were hurriedly made to disperse any subsequent gathering. Congressman Bowers of the Seventh District of California will not contest the election of Dr. Castle as his successor. This decision has been reached by the retiring member after consultations with some of the leading lawyers in the House, as well as the leaders of that body. Mr. Bowery, in reaching this decision, is influenced largely by the opinions of those gentlemen, and be leaves with them that one term of free-trade members will be enough for the producers of the Southern California counties. The ground on which Mr. Bowery contemplated action was the presence of the name of Dr. Castle on some tickets twice. He has discovered that this is permitted in some States, and so would not form a substantial basis for his move. In the matter of the conference committee of Democrats and Populists which made up the slate of candidates, which it is thought is in contravention of the law, the filing of resignations by the men who drew out completes the matter in the letter of the law, but this feature was the one to expose which Mr. Bowery contemplated devoting most attention. The feeling at Washington is that too many contests might produce a revolution of feeling and endanger Republican success two years hence. When Edward Payson Weston, fifty-eight-year-old pedestrian, at 10 o'clock on Saturday night left the track in the city of New York on which he endeavored to equal his record of 112 miles in twenty-four hours, having walked 103 miles, 426 yards, old man threw himself on a cot and wept bitterly. A number of friends gathered around and sought to console him, but he refused to be comforted and reproached himself for his failure. The veteran started out bravely in his effort to prove that he was as sturdy a man as twenty-five years ago, and more than half the day maintained a gait that promised to break his record. Then he was seized with vertigo, and was obliged to leave the track for longer periods than he had planned. He was also obliged, after walking a few laps, to reverse direction, in order to overcome dizziness. About 9:30 seriously injured, a oil tank connected with a heater. Five hundred dollars was on the cashier's desk when the explosion came, and the money was blown in all directions. The fire was soon extinguished, and then the crowd began fighting for the coins and bills which were scattered over the market place. In this sorrowage most of the personal injuries were received. It was only after a hard and combined fight by the police and fire department that the maddened crowd was restored to anything like order. In addition to the bodily injuries by many score of people, hundreds lost what they had purchased and were carrying in their arms when the excitement began. Anna Belle Whitford, the young New York girl on whose information she raided at Sherry's, a fashionable resort, was made Saturday night, has made a statement which would exonerate the police from all blame in breaking up the swell entertainment. According to the girl's story she had been engaged by Herbert Barum Seeley through theoretical agents; to dance before his guests, and it was understood that she was to dance in the "altogether" for an increased consideration." I was going to dance what is generally called "fly" dance," she said. In this I was to wear a light costume at first, but I was to gradually reduce it and my agreement with Agent Phillip was that I was eventually to be nude. When I told my father, I did not know he was going to inform Capt. Chaplin," andthe girl hang head as though sorry to have caused Seeley and his friends so much trouble. The wedding of Clinton Burton Seeley, in whose honor the dinner was given, announced for last week, did not take place until yesterday. Among the guests at the wedding were those who were also at the bachelor dinner. Horatio R. Harper of the publishing firm was one of them. The biennial report of Adjt.-Gen. Barrett, which has just been submitted to the Governor, makes a number of recommendations regarding the National Guard. He recommends the purchase of 400 new uniforms; 2400 pairs of blankets and 3150 overcoats for the National Guard; and for a ten-day's brigade encampment in 1897 and 1898 he asks for an appropriation of $80,000. He recommends that State build and armories at San Francisco, Oakland Los Angeles and Sacramento, as well as other towns where two or more companies are located. He thinks a special act should be passed placing on the retired list all officers who have served five years or more in the Guard, and who lost commands because of the reorganization of 1895. An annual parade for target practice will be thinks, suffice; but says companies should have monthly shoots,and recommends an appropriation of $500 as a special fund for the funeral expenses of State and National Guard officers. He asks for a legislative appropriation of $1500 to copy the records of the California Volunteers during the war from 1861 to 1866 on the card system.as has been adopted in several States.The object is to preserve records of California volunteers.

The shell did not burst, but the boards seemed paralyzed with fear. Several men on the lower deck opened fire their rifles and this was followed by a strong volley from the line of men on the deck. The shrapnel fired from the bliss ended the fight, as the Spaniards away, firing rockets calling for assistance. The call for assistance was promptly heard, for while the filibuster was swinging to position to allow the Hotohkiss to tapon the enemy, a gunboat, twice the size of the coaster, appeared on the port. It opened fire with heavy guns but did have the range. Gunner Welab rammed her shrapnel into the gun on the prow yanked the lanyard. The shell flew right for the gunboat and burst directly other. It was answered by a still thunder from the gunboat returning for shell. The shot from the Spanish fleet two of the landing boats of the derrick, but did no other damage.
