LATENEWSOF THE WEEK. Contract Signed for the New Electric Lights. What the Honorable Burgomeisters Did at Their Session on Tuesday Evening—Here's a Recipe for an Emulsion That Will Kill Scale—Death of a Popular Young Business Man of Fullerton—Serious Accident to Miss Margaret Bowen at Centralia—Water Company Victorious In a Suit Growing Out of the Schade Pipe Line—Minor Mention. The City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening and signed the contract for the enlargement of the municipal electric lighting system. Mr. Lawrence of the Wybro-Lawrence Co., the successful bidders, was present and stated that inasmuch as the specifications did not specify the kind of transformers to be used, he had stipulated in the contract that the Diamond transformers be used, that being the style now in operation here. A letter from Engineer Sharpe was read, stating that either the Diamond or Wagner transformer would give efficient service, and that the Diamond transformers now in use here were giving satisfaction and working well. Mr. Lawrence asked that in view of the fact that his house is handling the Diamond transformers, that style be included in the contract. Agreed to. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for March: For water, $154 25; electric lights, $194 75; licenses, $185 75; total, $334 75; less 5 per cent commission ($26 74), $508 01. Delinquents for water, $4 75; for lights, $5 65; total $10 44.

City Clerk Nebelung submitted the following financial report: In General fund, $485 61; total in treasury (including all bond funds), $21,724 62. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the committee had examined the bond of Wybro & Lawrence and finding the same to be satisfactory, recommended the city's executive officers to sign the contract with the firm for the extension of the electric lights. Various delinquents for water were reported, and the water at the Van Valin driver, for which no collections could be county—50 foot strip for road, known at the cemetery road in Orange district.

Here is the Formula For an Efficient Scale Destroyer—Will Kill Young Scale Every Time At the concluding session of the Farmers' Institute on Saturday afternoon, Prof. Cook gave the following recipe for a kerosene emulsion, which he guaranteed would kill red and black scale (when the pests were in their younger stages of development). Many of the horticulturists present were seen to take notes of the formula, and all will no doubt try it, and we believe with success. The formula is as follows: "Take two quarts of water one-eighth of a pound of soap (any soap will do); one quart of kerosene. Boil water and soap until the soap is dissolved, then remove from the fire, add the kerosene." Hleinigkeiten. Next Sunday is Easter. Next week occurs the Fiesta. Pastime club meets this evening. The Chamber of Commerce meets at the City Hall Monday evening. The foothills and valley lands are covered with a carpet of wild flowers of variegated hue. The second installment of State and county taxes for 1896-7 becomes deliquent April 26th. Beet thinning is in progress, and there is a plenty of work for willing hands to do. The ladies of the Catholic Church are arranging for a tableau entertainment to be given in May. The weather has been ideally perfect during the week, and smiling nature is again at her best. Charley Puckett's band of Tyroleers were around serenading the ladies in the witching hours of Tuesday night. Clarence Groat has a force of twelve men engaged in cementing ditches on the Botsford ranch at Placentia. Reports brought down from Arden are to the effect that Madame Modjeska may be said to have entirely recovered her health. Potatoes and other vegetables were nipped by the recent frost, and the market shows a temporary dearth of vegetable delicacies. The firm of Griffes & Sumner of Los Angeles, who put in the electric lighting system here two years ago, is said to have failed. Rev. Kogler will hold German Lutheran services to-morrow (Good Friday) at the Episcopal church at half-past 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The wife of Tony Adams presented him with a bouncing baby boy on Sunday morning. Tony has now a pair of boys to draw to. Loquats are coming in in great abundance, and furnish a very tempting article of diet, giving us as they do the first of our deciduous fruits. We acknowledge the receipt from Prof. Zeehandelaer, Secretary of the Publicity Committee of La Fiesta, of a beautiful bunch of passes to the show. The Anaheim building and loan association has brought an action against James B. Woodruff and wife to fore- ING funds on hand: General fund, $487 86; special electric light and water fund (new issue), $18,317 75; Bond fund No. 1, $1,144 37, No. 2, $290 22; No. 3, $1,486 67. City Clerk Nebelung submitted the following financial report: In General fund, $485 61; total in treasury (including all bond funds), $21,724 62. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the committee had examined the bond of Wybro & Lawrence and finding the same to be satisfactory, recommended the city's executive officers to sign the contract with the firm for the extension of the electric lights. Various delinquents for water were reported, and the water at the Van Valin dryer, for which no collections could be made, was ordered shut off. The Santa Fe railroad company also failed to pangle up for city water in a satisfactory manner, and there were others. The Marshal was instructed to collect, and where citizens refused to pay, to shut off the water. The Clerk reported 120 bonds turned over to Fred Hartung, amounting to $18,000; premium, $57 50; accrued interest, $216 25; total, $18,273 75. The money was on motion of Trustee Groat, distributed into funds as follows: Water fund, $9,686 87; electric light fund, $8,636 87. The bill of Henry Albrecht, amounting to $23 50, for work done on the city jail, which had been hung upon in committee, was taken up and allowed. The Marshal reported that Miss Burton desired to have city water delivered at her new residence on Philadelphia street. Application granted, provided the lady proceeds in the usual course; viz., pay all expenses of furnishing and laying the pipe, and take the same out in water. The certified check of Wybro & Lawrence, in the sum of $500, accompanying their bid for the extension of the electric light works, was returned to them, contract for the same having been signed. Trustee Conrad gave expert testimony regarding the length of strainers to put down in the new city wells, recommending that the strainers be not to exceed four feet—two feet, he said, would be better. The specifications originally called for six-foot strainers, which had been increased to eight feet. Mr. Conrad held that it was necessary only to have the strainer extend the length of the bowler stratum at which depth it was designed the well should end, and held that this stratum was only two feet in length. A strainer extending through the quicksand above or below the bowler stratum would pack into the strainer and render it useless. Engineer Des Granges of the water works recommends a 16-foot strainer, and holds more efficient service can be had from one of that length than a shorter one. The matter was referred to the Public Improvements Committee. The Marshal reported the weeds bad on the streets. He was instructed to remove them, after the usual ten days' notice to property owners to clean the roads in front of them. Bills were paid and the board stood adjourned. Mayor Rust occupied the chair, and there were present Trustees Conrad, Groat and Helmsen. Absent, Lewis. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For The Week Ending April 12, 1897. Furnished by the Orange County Title Company, Santa Ana. Nettie C. McBain et al. to W. C. Burdick—15 acres in Van de Graff tract; $100. Baizer Scheurer and wife. Flora At the concluding session of the Farmers' Institute on Saturday afternoon, Prof. Cook gave the following recipe for a kerosene emulsion, which he guaranteed would kill red and black scale (when the pests were in their younger stages of development). Many of the horticulturists present were seen to take notes of the formula, and all will no doubt try it, and we believe with success. The formula is as follows: "Take two quarts of water, one-eighth of a pound of soap (any soap will do); one quart of kerosene. Boil water and soap until the soap is dissolved, then remove from the fire, add the kerosene and pump through a spray pump back into the reservoir to mix thoroughly. Add twelve to fifteen quarts of water and it is ready for use. Larger quantities in like proportions." It is to be hoped that all horticulturists troubled with scale will try the formula. Care must be exercised to emulsify properly; otherwise the emulsion will be useless. Watch for the hatching of the scale, and apply the emulsion immediately thereafter. This will rid your orchard from scale pests. DEATH OF "JACK" SEEGER Untimely End of a Popular Young Man Held in High Esteem Hereabout. "Jack" Seeger died at the residence of W. J. Smith on Orangethorpe avenue on Saturday morning at 8 o'clock from congestion of the lungs, superinduced by a complication of ailments. He had been in ill-health for several weeks and although his death was not entirely unexpected his demise has cast a gloom over his family and friends on all sides. He was rational until the end and conversed pleasantly with members of the household just prior to his death, asking about his business affairs; and not in the least anticipating his untimely passing away. Everything that was possible was done to restore his shattered forces, but it was of no avail, and he passed on to join the silent majority clasped in the arms of his devoted and loving wife. The funeral services were held at the residence on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, under the auspices of the Fraternal Aid Association, in which order the deceased had been a member. Rev. Holcomb of the Fullerton Methodist Church preached a fervent sermon over the departed, and not a few were moved to tears as the reverend gentleman discoursed upon the qualities of him who in life was a kind and loving friend. The funeral cortexe proceeded from the residence to the Catholic Church in this city where a brief service was conducted by Father Bannon, after which the cortexe proceeded to the cemetery; the remains being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Father Bannon administered the last sad rites, and the dead was consigned to mother earth. Mr. Seeger was a Catholic and it was his wish to be buried in that faith. Deceased was a native of Dubuque, Iowa, where a mother and brother reside, and was aged 30 years and 8 months. He had resided here for a number of years, and had been married three years. His life was insured in the Fraternal Aid Association for $3000, which amount will be turned over to his widow. The family have the sincere condolence of all in their bereavement, and past 2 o'clock in the afternoon. — The wife of Tony Adams presented him with a bouncing baby boy on Sunday morning.

H. Lyons, has been filed with the County Recorder from Judge Landell's court in this city. — Thoughts of flights to mountain top or sea shore during the summer come in with the first signs of warm weather, and already several families are talking of trips to the Capistrano springs and the waters at Elsinore. — The Los Angeles Herald and Express have been improved in many respects of late, but a close inspection of the papers reveals that much matter in one also appears later in the other. This swapping of matter is provincial. — A Los Angeles paper says that "Baroner" von Snigglefritz swindled an Anaheim lady out of $2000, and that she refused to appear against him. The amount is incorrect. Fifty dollars is the sum, we believe. — The intelligent compositor who set up the phrase "Assistant Secretary of War" Australian Secretary of War is dead. Rev. Garvin will please hold himself in readiness to preach the funeral oration when we get ready to bury him. — Henry Albrecht has torn down the frame front in Mrs. Metz's building adjoining Boyd's grocery store, and is engaged in putting in a plate glass front and otherwise improving and renovating the premises. — The material of the defunct Westminster Star has been taken to Garlock (near Randsburg) by Chas. F. Schmidt, formerly of Santa Ana, where it is being used in the printing of the Garlock News, a paper just started there by that gentleman. — We hear the pupils and others at the Sanitarium have adopted the new medical fad of abstaining from eating breakfast, taking no nourishment until noon. Three-fourths of all the lills that flesh is to spring from intemperate eating. — Impressario Crowther informs us he is getting along quite well in the work of producing the opera of Pinafore. He will have a rehearsal at the Opera-house-to-morrow evening, from which the public will be excluded. The opera will be produced some time next month. — Vjet Bentz having amassed a fortune doing nothing has decided to return to butcher business, and has had the city meat market's delivery REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For The Week Ending April 12, 1897.

Among the horticulturists of note in attendance outlying sections upon the Farmers' Institute in session here last week,the noticed Dr.Wall and C.F.Bennett of Tustin,A.D.Bishop,D.Edson Smith and H.Phelps of Santa Ana,Henri Gardner and J.Eastwood of Orange Prof.Woodbridge,C.H.Sessions and Capt.Goodwin of Los Angeles and many others. John Harris,n an old and highly respected citizen of Westminster,died at his home in that place on Tuesday of last week.at the age of 63 years.Mr.Harris was the father of County Treasurer Harris,and leaves a widow and large family of grown-up children.He was well-known throughout the county,and was held in high esteem on all sides. The Southern Pacific depot presents an animated scene on the arrival of the north-bound and the Alamitos factory trains in the afternoon.The travel between Alamitos and Los Angeles is quite brisk.Every afternoon numbers of passengers may be encountered changing trains at the station,and of a recent day there were upwards of forty. The advertisement of the "Poor Man's Friend,"the new bargain store at Santa Ana,会 be found in another column this morning."This will be found to be a good place to trade.as prices are away down to bedrock,and quality of goods first-class." A solicitor for a Los Angeles publication was about town yesterday soliciting subscriptions for an illustrated edition to be published in the Angelic burg. We suggest that work of this sort may best be done at home, and instead of contributing to outside publications (and all outside pictorial numbers soliciting business here in the past have been unsatisfactory) that the money be kept at home, where better service will be rendered. Mr. Gardiner of the firm of Gardiner & Howe, who have the contract for the extension of the city water works, has been in town of late making arrangements for the beginning of work. The firm have an advertisement which will be found to be of interest to contractors in the excavating line, in another part of this issue. Mr. Gardiner has made a trip to Chicago within the past fortnight, and is exerting himself to the end that an early beginning of work may be made and the improvements completed within the contract time. We encountered a bright-faced boy on his way to school on Monday morning, gorgeously bedecked with a bunch of pear blossoms pinned to the lapel of his coat. It was a beautiful nosegay of lovely white blossoms, and when we essayed to pluck a flower from the posy, the boy exclaimed: "Look out for the nettles!" "And why have you the nettles there?" he was asked, sternly. "O, to have fun with the boys; they try to smell the flowers, and they get the nettles in their noses!" That boy will not lack for devices to while away childhood's happy hours. The singing of G. Abram Smith and the violin playing by James Rice, at the Farmers' Institute on Friday evening, unquestionably did much to attract the large crowd in attendance. Mr. Smith is by odds the best bass soloist in this part of the country, and Mr. Rice's proficiency as a violinist is quite marked. We understand that each may open classes for instruction here, and if so pupils in music may account themselves fortunate, for to have instruction from such artists is not an everyday affair. We encounter numerous interrogations as to the progress making upon our illustrated edition. We reply that the editor of this paper has just emerged from a four-weeks' argument with a recalcitrant optic, which has kept him more or less of the time abridged of his liberties, thinking what a splendid edition it will be when it is published. During that time no canvassing for the work has been attempted. We are in Mayor Rust and family contemplate spending some of the summer months at the Elsinore hot springs. Cooper and Andrew Fulton and Miss Fulton, who have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Shanley for some weeks past, leave on Saturday for their home in Minnesota. Alfred Seale has discontinued his studies at the Santa Ana business college, and informs us he contemplates attending a Los Angeles institution of learning. Miss Ella Gardiner is a candidate for Postmaster, and has already a numerously signed petition asking for her appointment. Miss Gardiner is now the efficient Assistant Postmaster. F. E. Garvin of El Cajon, San Diego county, is in town, having taken the contract to paint and do the artistic decoration of Mr. Rea's new residence. Evangelist Garvin of the Christian church is engaged in the heroic work of soliciting subscriptions for the purpose of defraying as far as possible the church debt. C. M. Lincoln of Salinas, Monterey county, a brother-in-law of Eddie Boege, has arrived with his wife and will probably become a permanent resident. Mr. Lincoln, although from the upper part of the State, thinks there is no place like Southern California. Dr. Lee informs us that a bow-wow of the tan species has taken up its abode at his residence, and the owner may have the same by paying for this notice. The Doctor charges nothing for the keep of the dog; this notice will be fifty cents. If the owner does not call, we take the dog. L. Z. Huntington attended the meeting of Horticultural Commissioners in Los Angeles on Tuesday, at which a resolution was passed asking Congress to impose a duty of a cent a pound on all citrus fruits. Mr. Huntington informs us there were two Populists upon the committee drafting the memorial to Congress, and that each was energetic in his advocacy of the good old Republican doctrine of protection. Harry I. Dreyfus, son of Mrs. Leah Dreyfus, of 1918 Franklin street, San Francisco, died at his mother's home in that city on Monday of last week, and the remains were interred on the following Wednesday. The deceased was aged 14 years and 5 months and was a native of this city, where the family resided a number of years ago. Friends of the family will learn with sorrow of the affliction that has overtaken them.

The new law in regard to the horticultural commissioners passed by the Legislature repeals all laws in regard to the commission and in the opinion of attorneys, according to reports in the press, legislates the present board of horticultural commissioners out of office. Provision is made whenever a petition is presented to the supervisors, signed by twenty-five or more persons, each of whom is a resident freeholder and possessor of an orchard, sating that certain or all orchards or nurseries or trees of any variety, are infested with scale insects, injurious to fruit, trees and vines, and praying that a commission be appointed whose duty it shall be to supervise the destruction of said scale insects, the supervisors shall appoint a board of horticultural commission consisting of three members. The compensation of commissioner is fixed at $ per day, and inspector $2.50 per day. The act provides that on petition of twenty-five orchardists the supervisors may for cause remove any of the commissioners. The case of W. F. Christen against the Anaheim Union Water Company and its Board of Directors was tried in Justice Huntington's court at Santa Ana on Friday. The action was for wages due Christen and four others for work performed by them for Gus Schade, the contractor for the construction of the pipe line near Mr. Brown's place. Schade abandoned the contract, and the pipe was completed by the company. The company has enough money belonging to Schade per sixty Mr. Rice's proficiency as a violinist is quite marked.

During that time no canvassing for the work has been attempted. We are in receipt of numerous letters from former residents of this city, now living in other places, who desire to participate in the work; and this paragraph will we hope, furnish a sufficient indication for the absence of answers in each case to these highly appreciated favors. Meanwhile announcement of the resumption of work upon our pictorial number will go over to another issue. Our old friend the Baron von Pumpernickel, who inflicted this city with his presence last summer and suffered an expose in the columns of this paper for his escapades, is up to his old tricks again. An account of his marriage to a trusting female in Oakland, under perfidious circumstances, will be found on the first page. The bogus Baron was first unmasked in this city, and our young friend Gus Langeaberger, who passed his school days at Heidelberg, has the credit of being probably the first one in this neighborhood to discover that the fellow was nothing but a vulgar adventurer. The Baron after his expose in these columns, consulted District Attorney (now Superior Judge) Ballard as to the bringing of an action for damages against us, and he also made us a very pleasant call. The Baron is a bird—a real live feathered songster.

Progressive euchre was the order of the afternoon, and the contests were spirited and interesting throughout. Mrs. Arthur Lewis won the first prize, an enameled sugar spoon; Mrs. Shanley the second, a bamboo table; and Mrs. G. S. Landell the booby prize, a silver thimble. Delicious refreshments were served, and after partaking of the hospitality of Mr. Rice's proficiency as a violinist is quite marked.

Our old friend the Baron von Pumpernickel, who inflicted this city with his presence last summer and suffered an expose in the columns of this paper for his escapades, is up to his old tricks again. An account of his marriage to a trusting female in Oakland, under perfidious circumstances, will be found on the first page. The bogus Baron was first unmasked in this city, and our young friend Gus Langeaberger, who passed his school days at Heidelberg, has the credit of being probably the first one in this neighborhood to discover that the fellow was nothing but a vulgar adventurer. The Baron after his exposure in these columns, consulted District Attorney (now Superior Judge) Ballard as to the bringing of an action for damages against us, and he also made us a very pleasant call. The Baron is a bird—a real live feathered songster. The new law in regard to the horticultural commissioners passed by the Legislature repeals all laws in regard to the commission and in the opinion of attorneys, according to reports in the press, legislates the present board of horticultural commissioners out of office. Provision is made whenever a petition is presented to the supervisors, signed by twenty-five or more persons, each of whom is a resident freeholder and possessor of an orchard, sating that certain or all orchards or nurseries or trees of any variety, are infested with scale insects, injurious to fruit, trees and vines, and praying that a commission be appointed whose duty it shall be to supervise the destruction of said scale insects, the supervisors shall appoint a board of horticultural commission consisting of three members. The compensation of commissioner is fixed at $ per day, and inspector $2.50 per day. The act provides that on petition of twenty-five orchardists the supervisors may for cause remove any of the commissioners. Mr. Rice's proficiency as a violinist is quite marked. We understand that each may open classes for instruction here, and if so pupils in music may account themselves fortunate, for to have instruction from such artists is not an every-day affair. We encounter numerous interrogations as to the progress making upon our illustrated edition. We reply that the editor of this paper has just emerged from a four-weeks' argument with a recalcitrant optic, which has kept him more or less of the time abridged of his liberties, thinking what a splendid edition it will be when it is published. During that time no canvassing for the work has been attempted.

We hope response will be generous and widespread，so that the management of Institute may do as they promised，and not leave the bills to one or two gentlemen to settle. Contributions may be left with Mr. Goldwater at the bank.

Christen against the Anaheim Union Water Company and its Board of Directors was tried in Justice Huntington's court at Santa Ana on Friday. The action was for wages due Christen and four others for work performed by them for Gus Schade, the contractor for the construc-tion of the pipe line near Mr. Brown-ing's place. Schade abandoned the contract, and the pipe was completed by the company. The company has enough money belonging to Schade to pay sixty per cent on the claims of the workmen, but the plaintiff and his assigners refused to accept that amount and brought suit for the entire amount of their claims, alleging that the company and some of the individual members of the Board of Directors had agreed to pay them in full if they would refrain from filing liens on the pipe line. At the close of the evidence for the plaintiff Attorney Melrose, for the defendants, moved for a non suit, which, after argument, was granted as to the company and as to Messrs. Fay, Benchley, Nebelung and Key. The plaintiff's attorneys asked for ten days' time in which to file a brief as to the liability of Messrs. Crowther, Browning and Amerige, which was granted them. Eight hundred and fifty-six votes were polled at Santa Ana's municipal election on Monday, and while political lines were not closely drawn, the Democrats seem to have had the best of it, electing the City Attorney, Marshal, Treasurer, two out of the three members of the Board of Trustees, and both members of the Board of Education.The Republicans elected the City Recorder and one Trustee. The contest seemed to be A. P. A. and anti A. P.A. and the A. P.A.'s seemed to get the worst of it.Matthews (A. P.A. apostle) for City Attorney was buried by Col Heathman, who at last, having an easy man to beat, finds himself elected to a public office. The full vote was as follows: Marshal—Graham, 481; Curtice, 279; Nigg, 114; Corwin, 33. Treasurer—Chilton, 505; Halladay, 335. City Attorney—Heathman, 460; Matthews, 322; Bowes, 61. Recorder—Freeman, 349; Nourse, 308; Spurgeon, 160. For two vacancies on board of education,Ball received 632; Waffle, 481; Lutz, 319. First, Third and Fourth wards elected trustees by the following vote: First,Avas, 138; Carpenter, 77; Third,Edgar, 106; Lewis, 65; Fourth,Parsons, 92; Robinson, 51. Mrs. Shanley entertained the ladies' euchre club at her residence on Thursday afternoon, when a delightful time was participated in by all. Progressive euchre was the order of the afternoon,and the contests were spirited and interesting throughout. Mrs. Arthur Lewis won the first prize, an enameled sugar spoon; Mrs. Shanley the second,a bamboo table; and Mrs.G.S.Landell the booby prize,a silver thimble.Delicious refreshments were served,and after partaking of the hospitality of the gracious hostess,the party dispersed.Miss Fulton assisted Mrs.Shanley in entertaining the club. Miss Margaret Bowen,daughter of J.L.Bowen of Centralia,was thrown from her horse while returning home from teaching at the Cypress school last Friday evening and was quite seriously injured,s sustaining a compound fracture of the left arm.Miss Bowen was riding along the highway on her return home when her horse became frightened and threw her.Her dress became entangled in the saddle and she dragged some distance,the horse turning into Mr.Bowen's yard still dragging her by her skirts.The horse fell exhausted upon Miss Bowen,breaking the left arm.Mr.Bowen happened to be near and went at once to the rescue of his daughterwho had a narrow escape from fatal injury.Miss Bowen's department at the Cypress school has been closed for a fortnight in consequence of her inability to resume her duties in the school. Henri F.Gardner of Orange who was in town on Saturday in attendance at the Farmers' Institute,where he read one of the most interesting papers submitted to the assemblage,(that on walnut culture appearing elsewhere in this issue) was a score or so of years ago a typesetter on THE GAZETTE.Mr.Gardner has long since forsaken the composing-room for the more lucrative industry of walnut growing,and owns one of the most productive ranches in Southern California across the river at Orange.He was for a period of several yearsthe Superintendent of the Orange system of ditches,and was recently appointed by Gov.Budd a delegate from California to the Irigation Congress at Phoenix,Ariz.Mr.Gardner preserves all of his old-time sorrow fame and there is discernible about his paper the evidences of an early newspaper training.He is a companionable gentleman and good fellow,and we hope to see him over this way often again.
