THE INJUNCTION AND MAN-DAMUS COMEDY. So much misapprehension exists regarding the causes which conspired to the bringing of the frequently referred to injunction and mandamus proceedings against this city (both of which have been amicably adjusted by order of the Court), and so many misstatements relative to the same having emanated from the county-seat correspondents having an imperfect understanding of the subject, that we feel ourselves impelled to refer to the subject in extenso, and shall attempt to explain the matter so that it may be understood by all. On the 19th of January the City Trustees opened eight bids for the extension and completion of the municipal water works and electric lighting plant. The firm of Gardiner & Howe of Los Angeles, who are now making arrangements for the beginning of work upon the water works, submitted two bids, each encased in a separate envelope, and the two in turn placed within a larger one. When the larger envelope was opened a certified check in the amount of $500 was found placed between the two inner ones. The first of the smaller envelopes opened was found to contain the bid upon the water works, and the certified check was accordingly applied to that bid. When the other envelope was opened, no check was found within. The absence of this check subsequently formed the basis of injunction proceedings by the Machinery and Electrical electrical engineer, who resided in Los Angeles, but failed to hear from him satisfactorily in the matter of changing the specifications to cause them to be in harmony with their views. The time for the opening of bids approaching rapidly (the advertisement calling for the bids having already appeared), and the electric light men being anxious to procure copies of the specifications, the board decided at last to have them printed, and this was accordingly done. Previous to the opening of bids, the board impressed with the fact that the specifications were improperly drawn, voted, on Jan. 12th, disavowing them, holding that they were not in consonance with their ideas in several important details, while being in the main, if not correct, at least not sufficiently faulty to cause their recall and have new specifications prepared. Gardiner & Howe knew of these changes, and made their bid to conform with them. The other bidders complied with the specifications. This action of the board, preventing as it did a fair competition among the bidders, resulted, on Wednesday of last week, in the Superior Court at Santa Ana, in an order of the court denying the mandamus proceedings brought by Gardiner & Howe asking that the city be directed to award them the electric light contract. There having been no fair competition, the court ruled that no award of the contract could be made. The injunction proceedings of the Machinery and Electrical Company on the one hand, and the mandamus proceedings of Gardiner & Howe on the other, were to have come up for hearing in the Superior Court on Feb. 23d. On Feb. 21st, as we have pointed out, the injunction proceedings were quietly withdrawn; but before the hearing of the cases, another postponement was taken until REAL ESTATE TRANSFER For the Week Ending March 8, 1897, Furnished by the Orange County Tithe pany, Santa Ana.

When the larger envelope was opened a certified check in the amount of $500 was found placed between the two inner ones. The first of the smaller envelopes opened was found to contain the bid upon the water works, and the certified check was accordingly applied to that bid. When the other envelope was opened, no check was found within. The absence of this check subsequently formed the basis of injunction proceedings by the Machinery and Electrical Company of Los Angeles, seeking to debar the city from awarding them the contract for the electric light works. The bids of Gardiner & Howe were found upon examination to be the lowest of the eight submitted, viz., for the water works $9324, and for the electric lights, $7404. The Machinery and Electrical Company submitted a bid in the amount of $17,675 for putting in the water and electric light works, lumping the amount in violation of the express terms of the specifications. Previous to the adoption of a resolution by the City Trustees favoring the awarding of the two contracts, to Gardiner & Howe, the city had exacted from them an additional certified check in the amount of $500, and on Jan. 26th, the additional check having been turned over to the city, the board voted unanimously to award both contracts to that firm. The representative of the rival Machinery and Electrical Company (who could lay claim to neither contract, in view of the circumstance that apart from the fact that his bid was higher than those of Gardiner & Howe it was in open violation of the terms of the specifications) was present and announced that his company would institute injunction proceedings restraining the city from awarding the contracts to Gardiner & Howe, on account of this absence of the second certified check at the time of the opening of the bids on Jan. 19. (The specifications required a certified check in the amount of $500 to accompany each bid.) This was very scant ground upon which to institute injunction proceedings against the city, yet the temporary injunction, granted by the Superior Court on February 1st, placed an effectual estoppel upon the work of the improvements. The injunction proceedings were set for hearing in the Superior Court on Feb. 9th; but on that day they were postponed until Feb. 23d, the City Trustees having been informed in the meantime that another been no fair competition, the court ruled that no award of the contract could be made. The injunction proceedings of the Machinery and Electrical Company on the one hand, and the mandamus proceedings of Gardiner & Howe on the other, were to have come up for hearing in the Superior Court on Feb. 23d. On Feb. 21st, as we have pointed out, the injunction proceedings were quietly withdrawn; but before the hearing of the cases, another postponement was taken until March 3d. At this time no injunction proceedings appeared, and the mandamus proceedings, brought in all friendliness, and which it was considered would be disposed of in a few moments, resulted in a legal battle occupying the entire day, Gardiner & Howe maintaining that both contracts should be awarded them, while the attorneys for the city, holding that an injunction could be made to lie against the awarding of the electric light contract by virtue of the disavowal of the specifications, fought stoutly for an order of court directing that no mandamus issue requiring the awarding of that contract; and the Court so ruled. Gardiner & Howe's contract for the water works being the lowest of the bids submitted on Jan. 19th, the court accordingly directed that the city enter into a contract with them for that work; but, taking the view of the attorneys for the city, that no open competition had existed in the matter of the electric light bids, ordered that bids be advertised for over again. The entire comedy has terminated very happily, although the foolish injunction of the Machinery and Electrical Co. has deferred the beginning of work upon the water works for a month, and we have seen how the court has ruled that the electric light matter must be gone all over again. The citrus-fruit growers will be given another hearing before the sub-committee of the Ways and Means Committee, when will be presented argument for a greater duty on the basis of 1 cent a pound specific duty on all importations of oranges, lemons, limes and breadfruit. This is the result of work done by Congressman McLachlan, who is practically in charge of this feature for the committee. In addition to the original committee, Messrs Snow, Daniels and Allen, M. W. Griffith and E. M. Ward now in Washington, are acting with the regular body.

The injunction proceedings were set for hearing in the Superior Court on Feb. 9th; but on that day they were postponed until Feb. 23d, the City Trustees having been informed in the meantime that another bidder would bring injunction proceedings, tying up the town for a year. It was then arranged by the attorneys for the city and the others that all parties appear in court on Feb. 23d and that in view of the fact that the city was anxious to get to work upon the improvements as soon as possible, an effort be made to settle the whole matter at that time. About the 21st of February, however, the injunction proceedings instituted by the Machinery and Electrical Company were quietly withdrawn, and it was announced that the other injunction proceedings to be brought against the city (if indeed any thought of bringing them ever existed) had ended in a complete fiasco and had collapsed into air. At the meeting of the board on the 9th of February the attorney for Gardiner & Howe appeared, and in order to protect the rights of his clients in the face of the injunction, announced that he would bring mandamus proceedings against the city requiring them to award both contracts to his clienta. Previous to the printing of the specifications for the improvements to be made in the electric light plant, in December, the Trustees had expressed dissatisfaction with them in several important particulars. The board believed that in the matter of engines and boilers, the specifications tended to favor certain manufacturers of machinery. The board placed themselves in communication with the sentenced argument for a greater duty on the basis of 1 cent a pound specific duty on all importations of oranges, lemons, limes and breadfruit. This is the result of work done by Congressman McLachlan, who is practically in charge of this feature for the committee. In addition to the original committee, Messrs. Snow, Daniels and Allen, M. W. Griffith and E. M. Ward now in Washington, are acting with the regular body. The hearing will take the form of a luncheon at the Chamberlain House, as the committeemen are so hard at work that they cannot give any other time for the hearing. Dolliver, Tawney and Johnson, the sub-committee, and perhaps some other member of the committee, will be present. The Southern California men will talk figures and fruit, while their guests are eating, and an hour and a half will be thus spent. The committee presented to Senator Perkins their brief and consulted on the course to be pursued in the Senate. The greatest efforts will be made in the House, as it is believed the chance for success depends largely on having the figures wanted in the bill when it leaves the committee. Judge York of the Los Angeles Superior Court rendered a decision in the case of Frank E. Cook against the city of Long Beach, giving defendant judgment for costs. Suit was instituted by Mr. Cook for services alleged to have been rendered by him to the city subsequent to March 1, 1896, and prior to the expiration of his term of office, for the sum of $728 39. The court holds that inasmuch as Cook was elected to office, served as incumbent and drew salary for the full term of two years, he could not, either by law or equity, claim or be entitled to any further compensation. Cook was offered on compromise by the council $165 and rejected the amount, preferring to go to law for his alleged claim. The "wide tire" bill, prepared by Supervisor Edmiston of Riverside and introduced by Assemblyman Lindenberger of that county, has passed both houses of the legislature and gone to the Governor for his approval. It makes use of a tire from 3½ to 6 inches in width—according to the weight of the wagon—obligatory throughout the State. Wagons now in use or on sale are excepted from its provisions. Edward L.

Kellogg to Fairview district was made in 1875, five years after the schoolhouse was erected and school commenced therein, and the only consideration for the said deed was that school should be maintained there. A school was constantly maintained there until the consolidation of the district with the Anaheim district, at which time it was abandoned. The deed recites that a consideration of $25 was paid to Mr. Kellogg by the district for said lot, but this is shown to be false by the affidavit of J. W. Clark, who drew up the deed. This affidavit of Judge Clark sets forth that no consideration, except that school should be maintained there, was ever paid to Mr. Kellogg for said lot. This being so, any title the district ever had certainly became void and of no effect when the school was abandoned, and all the old residents of this district know and will if called upon verify these statements, as they no doubt well remember that on many occasions there was, during the time school was kept there, agitation for the removal of the schoolhouse to other portions of the neighborhood, and it was always understood that in case this was done the lot would revert to Mr. Kellogg. These being the facts in the case I simply request that those interested attend the meeting and do justice to me as well as to the public. Mrs. B. F. E. Kellogg. Anaheim, March 9, 1897. A mystery which has puzzled the civic authorities and terrorized the people of Guadalajara for many months has been solved by the exercise of a little common sense. Violent deaths are rather numerous in the city, and it frequently happens that the dead body of a man or woman is found on the street in the morning, having been stabbed to death during the night. In some way a story started, grew and was magnified until "The Hand" in Guadalajara equaled "Jack the Riper" in London, and all classes of people believed in and feared the myth. The story was that in some dark street at a lonesome hour a man or woman would be approached by a man, closely wrapped in a cloak and would the first time. She was expecting him and had everything in readiness. The wedding cakes were all baked, the trousseau made, and the guests invited to the marriage, that was to have taken place Sunday, Feb. 21. She told him that she could not marry him, because he looked too old and was not like his photo. He remained several days pleading in vain. He told her that he had money and lands he would lay at her feet, and showed a certificate from his banker as to his wealth, but nothing could move her, and he returned as he came, bitterly upbraiding the fickleness of Georgia girls. SPAIN'S FINANCES. A Cuban Makes the Assertion That They are in a Bad Way. WASHINGTON, March 8. — Senor Quesada, secretary of the Cuban Legation, in an interview to-day asserts that the revolutionists are gaining and the Spanish retrograding. The latter, he says, are becoming discouraged, and adds that the paper currency policy adopted by Weyler is causing even the classes, which, for selfish motives, pretended to sympathize with Spain to complain. He asserted that Spain's finances were in a deplorable condition, saying: "The Spanish official gazette contains a decree of the Minister of the Colonies ordering the sale of bonds of a total value of 2,300,000 francs. These are the last colonial bonds remaining at Spain's disposal. The bonds probably will bring in round numbers about 2,000,000 francs. On the same date they are to be sold Spain has to pay 15,000,000 francs interest. Furthermore, on the 15th of April, May, June and July, respectively there are due and Spain must take up the promissory note which she issued last year on similar dates amounting in the aggregate of 50,-000,000 francs. "On July 1st she also has to pay another 15,000,000 francs on the quarterly interest on colonial bonds. In round numbers Spain within the next five months will be compelled to pay nearly 90,000,000 francs, and besides this she has to keep up her army and her navy and meet the expenses of the budget which will undoubtedly require another 150,000,- SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY SPECIAL EXCUSES TO THEY: Via Three Routes as follow: Via El Paso and the Sunset Road Leave Los Angeles Sundays; 8:15 a.m., Orleans Washington, New York Leave Los Angeles Tuesday; 8:15 a.m., Worth St., Louis, Chicago, New York Leave Los Angeles Wednesday; 8:15 a.m., Kansas City St., Paul, New York Antonio Memphis, Chicago Leave Los Angeles Saturday; 8:15 a.m., Omaha Council Bluffs, St.Paul Via Portland and the National Park Leave Los Angeles Mondays; 8:50 Butte, Helena St., Paul.

EDITOR GAZETTE—As there is to be selection on the 15th day of this month for the purpose of determining what disposition is to be made in the old Fairview school lot, and there is a deep interest taken in matter by many residents of the district, it seems meet and proper that all the facts in the case should properly, fully and fairly placed before the public prior to said meeting so that entire justice may at that time be done. In the first place there has been a final deal of talk pro and con on the subject by persons who were not residents of this district at the time the was donated by Mr. Kellogg, who consequently know nothing about the matter. This being so it is proper and right that only facts be stated. And I only touch upon those facts Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, widow of the great divine, died at 42 minutes past 10 o'clock Monday forenoat at the residence of her son-in-law, Rev Samuel Scoville, pastor of Stamford Congregational Church, at Stamford, Conn., aged 85 years. A singular fact in connection with the death of the aged woman is to be found in the fact that it was just ten years ago on Monday that Henry Ward Beecher passed away, and Mrs. Beecher's death came at almost exactly the same hour of the day as that of her husband. S. C. Mattox of Charleston, Tenn., arrived in Washington, Ga., on February 20 as the accepted suitor of Miss Mamie J. Smith, an accomplished young lady living four miles from Washington. They had never seen each other, but had become engaged through exchange of photographs and a correspondence of three months' duration. He secured a team and drove out to see his fiancee for PENSION FIGURES. Enormous Sums Paid Out by the Government for Pensions Every Year. The revenue of the United States for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, was $326,976,200. That sum is ample for "the needs of the government economically administered." It would have met the total ordinary expenditures of the government in any year from 1868 to 1890 inclusive. In all but seven of those years it would have yielded a surplus of over fifty million dollars. The trouble is not with the revenue. The gross, reckless, wanton extravagance of congress has disjointed our finances. Pensions make the deficits. Pensions furnish the excuse for higher taxes. There, in truth, is a question that President Cleveland, though he has struggled with it manfully, must turn over to Mr. McKinley unsolved. In the fiscal year 1893-4, under the McKinley law, we had our first deficit since 1869. The revenue was $297,722,019, the expenditure $368,746,867, and the deficit $69,803,261. But we paid out the enormous sum of $141,177,285 for pensions that year. The next year we had a deficit of $42,805,223 caused by the payment of $141,365,229 for pensions. In the last fiscal year we paid out $189,-434,001 for pensions, and a deficit of $25,203,246 was the result. In seven and one-half months of the present fiscal year we have paid out $94,-102,-845, and we have already an excess of expenditures over receipts of $48,-547,921. In seven years and seven months we have paid $1,043,302,777 in pensions.—[New York Times.] SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY SPECIAL EXCURSIONS TO THE EAST Via Three Routes, as follows: Via El Paso and the Sunset Route: Leave Los Angeles Sundays, 8:15 a.m. for New Orleans, Washington, New York.

The question as to whether great men are ever drunkards must be answered in the affirmative, though argument is frequently made to the contrary. Cato was a hard drinker, while, in the language of one writer, old Ben Jonson was constantly "pickled." The poet Savage used to go on the hardest kinds of "tears," and Rogers observed, after seeing his own statue, "It is the first time I have seen him stand straight for many years." Byron says of Parson, the great classical scholar, "I can never recollect him except as drunk or brutal, and generally both." Keats was on a spree once that lasted six months. Horace, Plato; Asistophanes, Euripides, Alcaeus, Socrates and Tasso of the old timers and Goethe, Schiller, Addison, Pitt, Fox, Blackstone, Fielding, Sterne and Steele were all hard drinkers at intervals—Pittsburg Dispatch. His Mental Hurdens. "Where do we go tonight, Henry?" "I don't know, Agnes." And something awful on my mind all day, but I can't remember whether it is a progressive euchre party or the Browning class." Abstract & Title GUARANTEE CO. (INCORPORATED.) Complete Property System.
