EPITOME OF THE NEWS. Special Session of the Water Company. The Board Met to Rescind Their Former Action Ordering the Repairing of Flume 12 on the Upper Ditch, and Decided to Construct a Fill Instead—Work to Be Commenced as Soon as the Right of Way Is Secured—The Farmers' Institute Promises to Be a Largely Attended and Highly Intellectual Affair—Other Items of Local Interest and Personal Mention. The Board of Directors of the water company met in special session on Saturday afternoon. Present, Directors Fay, Amerige, Nebelung, Benchley, Crowther and Browning. The meeting was called for the purpose of reconsidering the action of the board taken at the previous meeting, whereby it was decided to repair Flume 12. It required a majority of those voting in favor of making the repairs, to rescind their action, and as those members were willing to do so, the order directing that the repairs be made, was accordingly recinded. Upon investigation after the previous meeting, it was decided that it would be a useless expenditure of money to repair the old flume, and the better and most feasible manner would be to construct the fill as recommended by the Engineer. The fill will consist of an embankment thrown up across the baranca, and will be about 300 feet long, and from 25 to 30 feet in height. By constructing the fill the ditch will be shortened some 700 feet, and will be an improvement worth considerable to the company. Stockholders will be permitted to work upon the fill with their teams, and in many cases they have signified their willingness to take their pay in water or allow the amount to remain as a credit upon the books to defray future assessments, if any may be levied. The fill alone will cost in the neighborhood of $1,818, and will require two or three weeks’ work to complete it. A cut will also have to be made, and a culvert constructed, which will run the expense of the entire work up to $2,443. This appears to be quite a sum of money to expend upon the work at this time, but since it has been demonstrated that it would be useless to attempt to repair the old flume, which is liable to collapse at any time, the construction of the fill will be cheaper in kind which has been done before in substantial character of construction and in completeness and convenience of furnishings and decorations. The car is to be a complete exposition of the art of car-building, demonstrating to the world the surpassing excellence of this industry in the United States, and it is to be presented to the nation for the personal and official use of the successive Presidents of the United States. Designs and specifications for the car are being made under a committee of twenty-five prominent and representative car-builders and the superintendents of motive power of various railroads. CITY TRUSTEES. Opening of Bids for the Improvement of the Electric Light Plant—Wybro & Lawrence of Los Angeles Being the Lowest Bidders. The Board of City Trustees met in special session on Tuesday evening for the purpose of receiving bids for the extension and completion of the electric light plant. There were six bidders and their bids were as follows: L. Booth & Sons of Los Angeles agreed to equip the plant as per specifications and to include a 125-horsepower Sterling boiler for the sum of $8,275. A second bid called for $8,255; should the Ideal lamps be put in, a charge of $5 per arc lamp additional would be made, and should Helios lamps be used $5 per lamp additional would likewise be made. Baker Iron Works of Los Angeles bid to construct the plant for $8,600, with Ideal engine and Sterling boiler. Wybro & Lawrence of Los Angeles offered the following bids: They would furnish a Fischer engine; dynamos of the Westinghouse or G. E. or Warren pattern; any choice of lamps, and the B. & W. boiler, for the sum of $7880. Or the firm would put in a Sterling boiler for the sum of $8250. Woodill & Hulse of Los Angeles agreed to furnish a Sterling boiler, Ideal or Westinghouse engine for $9,666, and a reduction of $40 should Ideal lamps be used. The California Electric Company of San Francisco, represented by Baron Von Myers, offered to furnish the Sterling boiler, Deane pumps, Ball & Wood, or any choice of engine, the Warren dynamo, and Wagner transformers with Helios lamps for the sum of $9,069. Hleinigkeiten. A picnic party will go to the Santiago canyon Sunday. Pinafore will be put on the boards about the middle of May. Sunday was cold and wet, and the rain came down in a drizzle-drozzle fashion. Part of the roof of the Dreyfus winery was blown off during the heavy windstorm Monday evening. Monday’s wind blew out some of the beet seed, and replanting will be necessary in places. Ah Toi, the Chinese vegetable vendor, has purchased the prancing gray steed formerly driven by Dr. Perdomo. Saturday was quite a busy day, many farmers being in shopping, and the merchants received a liberal patronage. Look out for the brick in the cigar box this morning, and don’t pick up anybody’s purse, it may have a string to it. The intinerant jeweler who occupied quarters in the Metz Block on Center street for the past few weeks, has departed for pastures new. Attention is directed to the advertisement of J. Hahn, proprietor of the livery, feed and sale stables on West Center street. Southern California farmers are taking a great deal of interest in beetsugar culture and are right in doing so. There is a big thing in it. The Sisters’s school and Orphan’s home are receiving a handsome coat of paint inside and out by a force of artistic painters from Los Angeles. The Cabbage Growers’ Association of Fullerton has shipped its first carload of cabbage East. Several more carloads will be shipped this week. Capt.

B. social dance at Fullerton and in many cases they have signified their willingness to take their pay in water or allow the amount to remain as a credit upon the books to defray future assessments, if any may be levied. The fill alone will cost in the neighborhood of $1,818, and will require two or three weeks' work to complete it. A cut will also have to be made, and a culvert constructed, which will run the expense of the entire work up to $2,443. This appears to be quite a sum of money to expend upon the work at this time, but since it has been demonstrated that it would be useless to attempt to repair the old flume, which is liable to collapse at any time, the construction of the fill will be cheaper in the long run. The contractor will be asked to accept bonds of the company for his pay, and will no doubt acquiesce, thereby doing away with the actual need of a very great sum of cash money. Director Browning was appointed a committee to consult Agent Northam of the Stearns Ranchos and arrive at some understanding in regard to procuring right of way for the new work. Attorney Melrose will also confer with W. H. Bailey of the Olinda in regard to the right of way necessary through his property. By the construction of the fill a grade of 19 inches in the ditch will be secured, which it is considered will be a great benefit to facilitate the passage of water. After the rights of way have been secured, bids for the work will be advertised for, and the work pushed to a speedy termination. The board then went into executive session on financial matters, and shortly afterward adjourned to the next regular meeting day. The Southern Pacific Company has inaugurated a new tourist service between Los Angeles and Chicago via Sacramento in connection with the Union Pacific at Ogden and the Chicago and Northwestern at Council Bluffs.

Gardiner & Howe bid to furnish the Sterling boiler and complete plant for $9246; Root boiler, $8006; B & W boiler $771. The board took the bids under consideration and discussed their merits, and were inclined to believe that Wybro & Lawrence were the firm to whom the contract would be awarded. In a general way the bids were lower than expected, and the sum to be expended upon the water works and electric plant will come under the sum voted for those improvements. E.C. Sharpe, the electrical engineer for the city, was present and counseled the board in regard to the several merits of the different bids, and the board will not be hampered by any injection suits or setbacks, as everything in connection with the bids has been strictly complied with according to law. Representatives of the various firms were in attendance upon the meeting of the board, and took a deal of interest in the proceedings. The board adjourned to meet again last evening, when the Wybro & Lawrence bid it was announced would in all likelihood be accepted. FARMERS' INSTITUTE.

Another dance will be given in two weeks. The hobo who got sixty days for stealing a box of Havanas from Tim Boege some time ago, boarded the Southern Pacific north-bound flyer Monday afternoon in a manner that would convince a person that he is a desperate character. He cautiously approached the train as it pulled into the depot, and peering under the cars to see that the train hands were out of sight, mounted the steps and crawled upon the blind baggage unobserved by the train crew. He snugly crouched down behind the coal bunkers as the train pulled out, and doubtless succeeded in making Los Angeles by the free route. Edward Tisnerat has sued E.F.Dyer, J.Ross Clark and the Los Alamitos Sugar Company to recover $5,000. The plaintiff sets forth that he keeps a boarding-house near the buildings of the sugar plant of the Alamitos company; that a year ago many of the employees of the corporation boarded at his place. But he claims that within the past three months Dyer and Clark have instructed their employees not to patronize the plaintiff's house; that if they did not comply with this request Mleinigkeiten.

Huntington, H. E. Huntington, J. C. Stubbs and others, and accompanied by J. Ross Clark, vice-president and manager of the Los Alamitos sugar company, arrived here over the Southern Pacific and proceeded to the sugar factory for the purpose of inspecting that institution. The railroad officials were very much pleased with their trip, and expressed general satisfaction upon the inauguration of the grand enterprise. M. A. Remick was arrested here one day last week by Sheriff Nichols and landed in the county jail for contempt of court, as he failed to provide his wife with alimony and attorney's fees, as ordered by the court, pending his divorce proceedings. He was bailed out by an army comrade and is now at his home in this city. His wife lives at Orange. Remick claims he is unable to pay the alimony, as he is in straightened circumstances the pension he receives quarterly from the government being barely enough to provide his wants. Besides he claims to be an invalid and unable to perform manual labor. There is a young man in town of German descent who claims to have been in the Cuban war in the capacity of a telegraph operator for the insurgents. He tells of thrilling experiences while intercepting telegrams sent over the wires by the Spanish generals. He would ascend the poles and place his machine connections to the wires and steal messages and forward them to the Cuban chiefs. He endured many hardships, and says if the Cubans gain their liberty he will receive a back salary amounting to about $300. But should the patriots loose their cause he imagines he will be out the amount. A superstition exists among railroad men that an accident on a road will be speedily followed by a second and a third before the magic spell is broken.

An archway connects two compartments, and when finished the store will be a credit to that thriving town. Mrs. Jennie S. Remmick was arrested for perjury last Saturday on a warrant issued out of Judge Pierce's court, the complaint being filed by Henry Schulz. She was accused of making false affidavits in regard to her husband's ability to earn a livelihood, among other things averring that Remmick was in the habit of breaking bronco colts, and went by the name of "Bronco Bill," all of which Remmick says is false. As the charge of perjury, however, conflicts with the family troubles now in court between the parties, on the advice of the District Attorney, the case was dismissed. Mr. Remmick informed us yesterday that he is in receipt of a note from his wife stating that she would have him arrested for false imprisonment if he wasn't careful. An Alamitos correspondent writes that of the 3,500 acres of the ranch in beets this season, 1,600 acres have been seeded and 700 acres of the beets are coming up nicely, showing as fine a stand as anyone could wish. There will be no replanting this season. H. P. Dyer, of Cleveland, Ohio, who is to put in the machinery for the new sugar factory at Alamitos, has arrived and will see that the machinery goes into place in perfect shape, and the factory will be ready by June 15th, provided beets are ready for delivery at that time. The company has decided to erect a warehouse 50x150 for the storage of sugar. It is to be of brick, with a concrete floor and metal roof, making it strictly fireproof. A Los Angeles detective, aided by Sheriff Nichols, arrested an alleged forger named E. L. Barber, at Santa Ana on Sunday. Last Monday a check for $15 purporting to have been signed by Forthmann, Bergin & Co., proprietors of the Los Angeles soapworks, and drawn to the order of J. Hazard, was passed on W. H. Wheeler, a grocery dealer. The following day a similar check was passed on Long & Welch,a Peter Weisel and Frank Capote of Alamitos were in town Sunday. Dr. Champion got into the fashionable swim yesterday by having his cut. Louie Miller and Mr. Bruce went a fishing trip up in the Trabuca cable yesterday.

Oliver Hill was elected Tuesday evening by the Odd Fellows as a delegate to the Grand Lodge which meets in Francisco. Phil Davis of San Francisco arrives in town last Friday,and will remain two or three weeks purchasing the wool crop. Geo. Hare,the well-known machinist of Los Angeles was employed several days last week repairing our cylinder press,and performed a first class job. Lawrence Boldt departed for harbor in San Francisco on Sunday afternoon. He disposed of the wood in his grove to Brewer Conrad. Mr. Freise has moved into his place in the Koll block,and will have an opening next Saturday evening which he invites all his friends.

He will shortly take his machine connections to the wires and steal messages and forward them to the Cuban chiefs. He endured many hardships, and says if the Cubans gain their liberty he will receive a back salary amounting to about $300. But should the patriots loose their cause he imagines he will be out the amount. A superstition exists among railroad men that an accident on a road will be speedily followed by a second and a third before the magic spell is broken. In the destruction by fire of Alcalde Egan’s residence at Capistrano last Wednesday evening, following the burning of Col. Northam’s home at La Mirada and the destruction of the Rivera depot last summer one may wonder whether this trio of fires along the Santa Fe railway would come under the same calculation. In the burning of the two residences referred to Southern California has lost two of its most palatial country homes. While it is given out that Col. Northam will not rebuild at present it is to be hoped that Judge Egan will soon replace his home by another building as handsome as the one just destroyed. Two hard looking Mexicans were arrested by Constable Bittner Sunday and landed in jail for stealing a bulldog from L. D. Young, who travels through the country selling canes. He was on the road near Alamitos when he met the paisanos, who gained possession of the dog by feeding it. The owner remonstrated, and one of the Mexicans threatened to disembowel him with a pair of sheep-sheares. He came into town and swore to a complaint, charging them with highway robbery and assault, but upon the advice of District Attorney West the charge was changed to petty larceny. They were tried Monday afternoon before Judge Pierce, and one of them was found guilty and sentenced to twenty days in the county jail, while the other fellow was discharged, it being proven that he had nothing to do with the theft. Ed Bustamante acted as interpreter in the case. Charlie Rogers’ tour-year-old roadster ran away last Friday night, and its conduct in doing so has endeared the animal greatly to its owner. Mr. Rogers and his wife were visiting at Mr. Groat’s residence on Broadway and had the animal hitched to a post a short distance up the street. The animal became frightened, broke its fastings, turned around, as the tracks of the vehicle indicated, came up in front of the house wherein its owner was, and again turned east and proceeded home. The horse entered the gate in the usual manner, went up to and around the barn, and then out through the orchard and barley field, and back again to the barn, where it attempted to enter the door. The wheels of the rig prevented its entering, and there it was found by Mr. Rogers after returning home on foot. As the horse is young and speedy, its action bespeaks its gentleness, and it would take a good round sum now to have the owner part with it. There was a battle royal down in the West End Sunday evening, that came near resulting fatally to one of the combatants. As no arrests were made it is difficult to get the particulars. However, it is said, two brothers living in that neighborhood went into Boege’s saloon, and assaulted an elderly tinner, who was temporarily staying in the place, knocking him down with a blow in the face.

Mr.Bertram who has been the agentof the Chino factory here during Seniors absence at Sacramento,havingovered the duties ofthe office was found by Mr. Rogers after returning home on foot. As the horse is young and speedy, its action bespeaks its gentleness, and it would take a good round sum now to have the owner part with it. There was a battle royal down in the West End Sunday evening, that came near resulting fatally to one of the combatants. As no arrests were made it is difficult to get the particulars. However, it is said, two brothers living in that neighborhood went into Boege's saloon, and assaulted an elderly tinner, who was temporarily staying in the place, knocking him down with a blow in the face. A young man with whom he had been conversing interfered, and gave battle to the two intruders. He floored them both with half hooks and straight jabs a la Fitzsimmons, and soon had things his own way. During the scuffle, he came near being severely cut with a knife in the hands of one of his adversaries. As it is he has several slight flesh wounds about his body, the blade of the knife cutting his clothing and just grazing his skin. The window panes in the place were broken, and things must have been lively while they lasted. Harmony Hall, the world famous home of Judge Egan at Capistrano, was entirely destroyed by fire shortly before midnight last Wednesday night. When the fire was discovered at about 10 o'clock it was then well under way, and inside of an hour the building was entirely in flames. The contents, including valuable old books, mission records and bric-a-brac, were saved. Judge Egan had taken the evening train for Santa Ana, and was not at home at the time of the fire. The furniture and contents were in great part saved, but the building was entirely consumed. The charred brick walls alone remaining to mark the spot where stood the famous old haclenda. Many hallowed memories cluster about this old household, and during its time it gave shelter to notable personages from every land. It was here the Southern California Editorial Convention was entertained at its midwinter outing in 1892, and it was here that Capt. Ferguson broke the record for long distance story telling. The building stood within a stone's throw of the palatial home of Don Marcus Forster, and its destruction will be deplored by the many who have been hospitably entertained by the Alcalde therein. We are sorry to hear of our old friend's ill-fortune, and hope that an imposing structure will soon rear its head upon the site of the old building that has passed into history. The following interesting correspondence from L. M. Holt who has been sojourning here for some days past appears in Monday's Herald: To the east of Fullerton and to the northeast of Anaheim is a beautiful and rich section of country known as Placentia. This section has no town of its own, but is tributary to the two towns above mentioned. It has a post-office, however, and some very thrifty people, who grow oranges, cabbage lemons and other fruits and vegetables, to say nothing of walnuts. W. M. McFadden is one of the leading citizens. He has lived here nearly thirty years, and he now has a fine orchard that gives him annually from twelve to twenty carloads of oranges to market as well as several carloads of walnuts. In this same settlement is also the orchard of the Southern California Fruit company—over 100 acres. This company was incorporated in Healdsburg, Sonoma county, twenty-five years ago by the writer. It is now a fine paying property, giving dividends annually to the stockholders, although the company spent much money years ago in experimenting. The par value of the stock is $100 a share, while the actual value must be about $300 a share. Just to the northeast of this settlement is the celebrated Puente oil well district, and on the south slope of the Puente hills is to be seen from this valley a cluster of derricks over wells from which oil is now being pumped. This oil is piped to Chino, where a portion of it is refined and the remainder is being used as fuel in the Chino beet sugar factory. To the northeast of Placentia the California Southern railway company are at work developing a new oil territory. The first well is now down over 300 feet with good prospects of oil. If this well proves a success a half dozen well boring outfits will be set at work at once in search for more oil. This work is now in charge of E. L. Doheny, the man who started work so successfully in the hilly section of Los Angeles city, and he feels just as confident of success here as he did there. This move would indicate that the Santa Fe system is not yet abandoning the use of oil as a fuel with a view of going back to coal. The Placentia country is under the flow of the canal of the Anaheim Union Water Company—a company that has water for from 10,000 to 15,000 acres of land. The area over which the water is spread is being extended from time to time as the system is improved and the water is saved. The water supply is taken from the Santa Ana river in Bedrock canyon. C. G. McKinley, Secretary of the Orange County Fruit Exchange, has returned from a trip to Albuquerque N.M. The suit in which Mr. McKinley was a witness, was postponed because of a pressure of criminal matters which has taken up the time of the Territorial Court, to-the exclusion all civil business. Mr. McKinley will again go to Albququerque when the case comes up for trial. Mr. Bertram who has been the agent of the Chino factory here during Senior Jones' absence at Sacramento, has turned over the duties of the office to Mr. Jones, and is again at work on his farm at West Anaheim. Mr. Bertram received high commendation from the Chino factory people for his painstaking work while in their employ, and will probably have another job in their neighborhood from the factory during the coming season. Madame Modjeaka, accompanied by Count Bozenta, arrived in town on Monday; and the distinguished actress now a guest of Mrs. Langenberger her many friends will be pleased to learn that she has almost entirely covered her health and will soon herself again.
