THE NEWS OF THE WEEK. A City Ordinance that Was Lost in the Shuffle. City Fathers Trace Up the Proposed Ordinance Imposing a License Tax Upon Temporary Business Places and Find It in the Pocket of the Chairman of the Ordinance Committee—The City Engineer Criticises the Cement Wall at the Well Pit—Will Allow No Estimates on the Work, and Will Insist on Extensive Repairs, Including an Inner Cement Wall—Water Board Transacts Some Interesting Business—Business Changes—Local Mention. At the meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening City Engineer Rogers entered into a lengthy criticism of the manner of the construction of the cement wall now being put in at the city well pit. He reported the wall to be in bad condition, that it was not in a true line and that it was badly cracked in places. While it would be disadvantageous to order the work torn out (which would be advisable if it were above ground), he would require the wall to be repaired and strengthened with a four-inch lining of cement. This was in his opinion the only way in which to remedy the difficulty. The new work would be done without expense to the city. Asked by Trustee Conrad whether the new cement would adhere to the wall, Mr. Rogers replied that the cement would have to be of the consistency to adhere properly; that there were many holes in the wall, and these would contribute to the adhesion. He had refused an estimate on the amount of money claimed to be due, and reported he would continue to refuse such estimate until the work had been finished to his satisfaction, according to the lines indicated in his report. He stated that if the wall were above ground he would order it torn down. Trustee Groat acquiesced in the City Engineer's statement, stating that his report of the faulty wall at the well pit was correct. The action of the Engineer in refusing an estimate, as well as his criticism of the work, was approved, and he was delegated full authority to proceed with the matter under his control. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported that the deed to the lot purchased from Herr Bauer adjoining the power house had been received on structured to order a new Ashcroft steam gauge to replace the old one. Communication from the Los Angeles Fourth of July committee, inviting the Burgomeisters to participate in the coming celebration in that burg. Filed, and the clerk to acknowledge receipt. Petition of Rev. Schneider and others relative to placing an arc light at the corner of Broadway and Clementina streets. Laid over until next meeting. Communication from J. H. Clabaugh asking for the free water to be used for sprinkling a park to be laid out shortly at the Santa Fe depot. The board considered the application favorably, and the clerk was instructed to look up the records to learn the nature of privileges hitherto granted the company for free water. The city will probably furnishthe water free, the same to date from the completion of the new water works. Trustee Lewis occupied the chair. There were present Trustees Helmsen, Groat and Conrad; absent, Mayor Rust. THE WATER BOARD. An Exchange of Deeds With Col. Bailey. Relative to Ditches on the Olinda Ranch. The water board met in regular session on Saturday, Vice-President Benchley in the chair, and Directors Browning, Crowther and Amerige present; absent Fay, Nebelung and Key. Mr. Amerige of the committee appointed to procure deeds to right of way for the Southside ditch, reported that he had secured them all, so far as it was possible to do so, and submitted a number of deeds giving right of way for the same. The deed of Mr. McGrew had been returned from the East, but had not the notarial seal attached to it, and will have to be sent back for its proper legal seal. Mr. Amerige reported that Mr. Neff declined to give a deed for the ditch running through his tract, but volunteered to make a contract with the company permitting them to run water through his place. As there was no objection on the part of the board to this manner of arriving at what they were after, the same was agreed to, and the committee, having completed its labors, was discharged. The papers were referred to the company's attorney for inspection. Mr. Crowther reported progress in the matter of securing deeds for the Foos ditch, and asked further time. Committee continued.

He stated that if the wall were above ground he would order it torn down. Trustee Groat acquiesced in the City Engineer’s statement stating that his report of the faulty wall at the well pit was correct. The action of the Engineer in refusing an estimate, as well as his criticism of the work, was approved, and he was delegated full authority to proceed with the matter under his control. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported that the deed to the lot purchased from Herr Bauer adjoining the power house had been received from Mr. Kroeger and been placed on record. The full payment of $200 had been made. Also the purchase of a car of oil at $1.10 per barrel, f.o.b. Los Angeles. Trustee Lewis of the Committee on Public Improvements reported that in the matter of the extension of the power house, he had received only one bid so far. The matter of the additional pipe laying had been deferred until other work at the power house was completed. He reported that it was necessary to do considerable more work at the power house than had been contemplated, the well pit having to be covered with a roof and covering having to be placed over the boilers. Trustee Groat suggested that the wall at the pumping pit be extended two feet above ground, and that a gas pipe railing be constructed thereupon. The work to be done while the wall was in course of construction. Both matters were referred to the Public Improvements committee with power to act. Engineer Rogers submitted an estimate showing Gardiner & Howe to be due the following amounts: 3 wells.....$829 70 1 Mueller tapping machine.....90 00 1 hub end valves.....124 00 12 hydrants.....264 00 6 flange end valves.....84 00 7275 special castings.....218 25 6968 4-inch cast iron pipe in place.....2787 20 2312 6-inch cast iron pipe in place.....1502 80 40½ service connections.....120 00 7 2-inch service connections.....70 01 11 gate boxes.....33 00 1 oil tank delivered.....175 00 1 Deane underwriter’s pump delivered.....700 00 240 cubic yards excavating pump pit.....72 00 3 2-inch gate valves.....9 00 Total.....$7078 70 Less 25 per cent retained.....1769 75 Net amount due.....$5309 20 Less previous payments.....5089 30 Due on this estimate.....$219 90 A warrant in the amount of $219.90 was accordingly ordered drawn in favor of Gardiner & Howe. Under the head of unfinished business, Trustee Helmsen asked why the Ordnance Committee had not reported the ordinance levying a license tax on temporary booths, such as chicken-pie dinners, ice cream festivals, and so forth, that spring up occasionally, notably on the Fourth of July, to the detriment of permanent houses, which contribute liberally for the support of the municipality, and which also make liberal donations for public celebrations. Trustee Conrad, chairman of the committee, replied that he considered the framing of the ordinance an unnecessary expense to the city. Public celebrations were a benefit to the town, and if the churches have a public dinner, and charge, say 25 cents therefor, nobody was injured, and he thought it going through his tract, but volunteered to make a contract with the company permitting them to run water through his place. As there was no objection on the part of the board to this manner of arriving at what they were after, the same was agreed to, and the committee, having completed its labors, was discharged. The papers were referred to the company’s attorney for inspection. Mr. Crowther reported progress in the matter of securing deeds for the Foos ditch, and asked further time. Committee continued. Mr. Browning brought up the matter of application of W. M. McFadden for moving of the waste gate on Mrs. Ford’s place on Malden avenue, in Fullerton, saying the gate was in poor condition, and if it were to be moved, a new gate would have to be constructed. The objection to its use was that the zanjero drives across the orchard to reach the gate, and Mr. Browning moved that the company erect a good substantial hitching post on Malden avenue so that the zanjero might tie his horse thereto and walk across the orchard to the gate. Carried. Attorney Melrose submitted deeds from Col. W. H. Bailey of the Olinda ranch, giving the company two definite rights of way across the ranch, in place of the present floating right of way across that property. Mr. Crowther asked whether the interests of the company would be protected by the exchange, and Engineer Rogers was called upon to give testimony upon that point. Mr. Rogers explained that the company’s rights were entirely protected, that the board had voted a year ago to make the exchange, and that he had selected the sites for the two ditches across the ranch. In the matter of the sluice gate at the fill at Flume 12, the same was included in the deeds submitted by Col. Bailey, and altogether the company would be in better shape by the exchange of deeds than it was before. The Vice-President and Secretary were thereupon authorized to execute the papers exchanging the deeds. Mr. Crowther of the Ditch Committee asked for further time in the matter of seepage water escaping from the company’s dam in the river and appropriated by the company on the other side. Granted. Secretary Blennnerhassett read a letter from George Heffner, written to E. R. Amerige, complaining that monkeys due him for work performed for Schade were yet due and unpaid. The Secretary reported that all monkeys coming to Schade had been paid on orders given by him upon the company, and as there was nothing coming to Heffner, the matter was passed without action. A communication was received from Schade asking for an itemized statement of expenses incurred by the company’s engineer in completing the pipe near Browning’s. On suggestion of Mr. Browning the matter was passed to be considered in executive session. Petition of W. J. Smith asking for a cement arch or asphaltum pipe for the ditch extending across the road running north at the southeast corner of his ranch. Mr. Smith stated that Supervisor Potter had assured him the county would stand half the expense, the ditch being on the county road. To The Ditch Committee with power to act. The Secretary read the report of the Board of Audit on the number of shares of stock signed to the eleven petitions recently presented to the board asking for the extension of the water boundary. The Board of Audit reported making through his tract, but volunteered to make a contract with the company permitting them to run water through his place. As there was no objection on the part of the board to this manner of arriving at what they were after, the same was agreed to, and the committee, having completed its labors, was discharged.

Public celebrations were a benefit to the town, and if the churches have a public dinner, and charge, say 25 cents therefor, nobody was injured, and he thought it was a good thing to have them. Trustee Lewis observed that he failed to see howin the chairman of the Ordinance Committee could pocket an ordinance that had been ordered drawn by the full board. The committee having been instructed to bring in the ordinance, the chairman of that committee had no other recourse than to report the same to the board. Trustee Conrad opposed the imposition of the tax, but stated finally that if the other members of the committee insisted upon it, he was willing to have it prepared and submitted to the board for action. Application of George Boyd for city water at the packing house. The Marshal was instructed to turn it on. Engineer Rogers stated that Gardiner & Howe would probably ask for an extension of time on their contract. City Attorney Chynoweth stated that the contract was explicit as to extensions of time. The contract provided a penalty of $25 for each day's time consumed in the work after the limit agreed upon. Mr. Rogers said the work would have been easily disposed of were it not for the work on the well pit. Trustee Lewis said that considerable discussion had been had between the city and the contractors relative to the penalty to be imposed, and it had been tactly agreed that no fine would be imposed if the delay was unavoidable. Bills to the amount of $600 25 were audited and ordered paid. Trustee Lewis called attention to the necessity for changing the oil-burning plan at the power house. The changes recommended were accordingly ordered made, and the City Clerk was instructed to notify the insurance companies of the change. The City Clerk read the boiler inspector's report on the city boilers, finding the new boiler in good shape. One of the old boilers had heavy scale inside, which was recommended to be cleaned out as thoroughly as possible; was otherwise in good order; the steam gauge on boiler number 2 should be replaced with a new one.

The Secretary read the report of the Board of Audit on the number of shares of stock signed to the eleven petitions recently presented to the board asking for the extension of the water boundaries. The Board of Audit reported 4595 shares attached to the petitions, and 40 more, which, although the intention was to subscribe them in favor of the increase, yet there was no proper legal authority for the signatures. The entire volume of stock outstanding was 6886 shares, two-thirds of which was 4590 2-3 shares, so the necessary two-thirds of the stock issued was found to be signed to the petitions. The report was filed. Certificate of Security Savings bank that the signature of M. S.

Modjeska in title role, the Santa Ana opera house was opened Friday night with "Mary Stuart." The cast was composed largely of local talent, and the gifted actress, who has long been a resident of Orange county, was given a hearty reception when she stepped before the footlights in the first scene of the play. It was a notable occasion. The house was packed from the orchestra rail to the balcony, and the enthusiasm with which the play was received was ample to show the appreciation of the people. Not a break occurred in the performance; it was a success from beginning to end. The amateurs had been thoroughly drilled in their lines by Mme. Modjeska and everything went off smoothly. The costumes used were those belonging to Modjeska's own company. Chas. Rogers assumed the character of the Earl of Burleigh, and Herman Dickel was Sir Edward Mortimer.

While looking over Sheriff Nichols’ photograph album of notabilities in criminal annals, at Santa Ana the other day, we came across the picture of the convict Grimes, who escaped from the county jail at Santa Ana some years ago. Grimes was one of the hardest characters ever jailed in Orange county, and his escape from jail formed a nine-days’ sensation at the time. “What ever became of Grimes?” we asked. “He went down to Alabama, and was hung for rape,” replied the Sheriff. Thus do we see that virtue is its own reward, and that Mr. Grimes (who was no kin to that good old man in the story) is dead. —The partnership heretofore subsisting between A. H. Patterson and Andrew Pfahler, in the farming implement line, has been dissolved, Mr. Patterson retiring, and the business will in future be carried on by A. Pfahler & Son.

All right, Pat, come back, and we'll start over again. —The large warehouse at Buena Park was filled to overflowing last Saturday night by patrons of the Centra- lia school anxious to witness the closing exercises of the school. By the willing hands of the young folks the large building was transformed into a tasty decorated audience-room, with a profusion of evergreens, palms and Greek bamboos, and a prolific sprinkling of gay flowers. The two young lady graduates, Miss Claudine Weber and Miss Myrtle Brewer, delivered their carefully prepared essays in a very satisfactory manner; while the piano solo of Miss Jennie Johnson would have been pronounced a gem in the most pretentious concert. The singing of Mrs. Vans Agnew was quite a feature. The sympathetic voice of the lady in the exquisite rendition of Schubert's grenade and the more catchy "waltz song" that was afterward given, stamped her as an artist. Dr. Weller in a felicitous way awarded the diplomas, and the ending of this year's teaching of Miss Leona Brown- ing, as principal of Centralia, and Miss Maggie Bowen as assistant, has inspired the wish that they may continue to prepare more of these happy occasions. The commencements of Centralla under their supervision have grown to be a feature in the school history of Orange county. The "Wand Drill" in which six young ladies dressed in white, with pink saashes, evolved so finely that an encore was demanded, was one of the features of the evening. Their movements were faultless, and all owing to the patient training of their teacher. —On Monday evening last Prof. Reiser gave a musicale, with the assistance of some of his pupils, at the residence of Mrs. Spencer on Oranethorpe avenue. The program was devoted to the study of the music of Schubert, and consisted of the following pieces: Piano duet, overture, Miss Ruth and Grace Smith; piano solos, minuet and allegro, op. 78; Miss Eva Lyons; Momento Musicals, op. 94, No. 6; Miss Irene Cargill; Waltzes, op. 9, No. 1-3; Miss Grace Smith; Impromptu, op. 142, No. 2; Miss Elspencer; Momento Musicals, op. 94, No. 1; Miss May Cargill; soprano solo Wasserlscher; A. M. Williams has been appointed commissioner in the sale of property belonging to Charles Schindler and others, to be sold under foreclosure, in favor of S. S. Federman, in which case a judgment of $1313 was rendered by the Superior Court some days ago. Dr. New of Los Angeles, representing the Drs. Shores specialists, made his first visit to this city Friday last. Dr.New is a gentleman of pleasing address who is captivated with the natural beauties of this section. He informs us that he will make monthly visits to Anaheim to minister to the wants of the afflicted. Charley Fleming is in from Morenci, A. T., to escape the warm weather, and will spend the summer with his folks here. Charley was engaged in mining, and informs us the thermometer was never under the 100 mark, and was frequently much higher. The night before he left Morenci the town was partly destroyed by fire. Judge Richard Egan of Capistrano paid a visit to friends in this city on Monday. The Judge's new residence at Capistrano is almost ready for occupancy, on the site of his former home some time ago destroyed by fire, and he will soon be at home to friends in the palatial new structure. Alfons Fossek is lying seriously ill at his home in this city with Bright's disease, and his condition has been such that grave fears are entertained for his recovery. He is classed among the best of the young turners of this city and his many friends hope that he may be restored to his usual health and live to attain to many years of usefulness in the community. R.A.Craig who superintended the erection of the water-tube boiler at the power-house, departed yesterday for Crede, Col., where he will put up a boiler of similar mechanism and capacity. The boiler is of 125 horse power capacity, and is valued in the neighborhood of $2000. After getting through with his job at Crede, which will require about two weeks, Mr.Craig will pay a visit to his old home in Pennsylvania. Miss Inez Tarr departed last week for her home in Ventura. After visiting at her home for a time she will spend the summer vacation in pursuit of learning in San Francisco. We are sorry to note that the probabilities are against this gifted educator returning to teach in our schools for another term, she having been offered the principalship of the Ventura schools at an advanced salary. Miss Tarr made many friends in Anaheim during her short stay, and while the depth of her scholars' feeling toward her was such that it was freely expressed in demonstrations of youthful appreciation, the regard for her, on the part of those outside the schoolroom, was quite as favorable, and she was esteemed on all sides as an instructor of more than the usual competency. Mrs.Katherine Fleming Hinrichs daughter of Mrs.W.J.Smith, who is at present visiting her mother at Orangethorpe, has kindly accepted an invitation from the Ladies' Aid Society of Fullertin to sing at an entertainment to be given in Chadbourne Hall on Saturday evening, June 26. Mrs.Hinrichs came from the east two years ago for the purpose of singing in the Fiesta avail himself of the low Christian Endeavor rates to the East. Mr.Goldwater is in receipt of a letter from a graduate of the Kirksville, Mo., school of osteopathy, relative to coming to Anaheim and opening up an institution of similar character in this city. The letter will be taken up for consideration by the Chamber of Commerce next Monday evening. Mrs.D.Lightfoot of Texarkana, Ark., (nee Fleming) is looked for to arrive here shortly on a visit to her mother, Mrs.W.J.Smith. An old-fashioned family reunion will probably be in order after her arrival, as many of the members of the family have gathered at the old homestead on Orangethorpe avenue. Miss Maggie Higgins left on Saturday day for the Yosemite valley where she goes to take a position as telegraph operator and assistant in the Wells,Fargo & Co. and mail service, having an office in the Sentinel House. The Stoneman House in which Miss Higgins served in a similar capacity last season was burned some time ago, leaving the Sentinel the only hotel in the valley. She will be absent during the summer season. Rev.Keith is referred to elsewhere, is quite a linguist, speaking English,German,FrenchSpanish and Hebrew and other languages,bides Latin and Greek。他 was in Federmann's store purchasing a pair of shoes previous to his departure when Charley Federman observed that he had heard that Mr.Keith could talk Hebrew，remarking that it was the first time in his knowledge that he had met a man not a Hebrew who could talk language.Mr.Keith surprised him by talking in Hebrew. "How much are these shoes?" he was asked,在 Hebrew. After informing Mr.Keith what the price was，Charley continued: "Ten per cent off for talking Hebrew!" Charley is a great boy. Mr.Coombs has encountered a serious obstacle in the work of lowering the cement caisson at the city well pit,the quicksand seeping in under the caisson so fast as seriously to interfere with the progress of the work.The cement wall has sunk to a depth of 261 feet，where it rests，the quicksand making it impossible to lower it.Saturday last enough quicksand was pumped from the pit to permit the wall to sink a couple of feet,yet it only settled an inch or two.In this state of affairs it has been decided to put in the flooring at the present depth of the wall,and not go foot and a half deeper originally intended.On Monday morning there was six feet of water in the pitThis was pumped out,and operations began upon the work of preparingthe pit for its cement flooringalthough progress has been slow. Dr.A.W.Bickford，recently of Pasadena，has becomethe successorto Dr Champion,having purchasedthat gentleman's business interests here,and has succeeded until recently occupied by Dr Champion.His wife arrived yesterdayto join him as a permanent residentof this city.The new physician comes highly recommendedas a medical practitionerof many years experience,and will no doubt attainto a lucrative practicein this community.Dr Champion contemplates returningto his old home in Portsmouth. the patient training of their teacher. —On Monday evening last Prof. Reiser gave a musicale, with the assistance of some of his pupils, at the residence of Mrs. Spencer on Orangethorpe avenue. The program was devoted to the study of the music of Schubert, and consisted of the following pieces: Piano duett, overture, Miss Ruth and Grace Smith; piano solos, minuet and allegro, op. 78, Miss Eva Lyons; Momento Musicals, op. 94, No. 6, Miss Irene Cargill; Waltzes, op. 9, No. 1-3, Miss Grace Smith; Impromptu, op. 142, No. 2, Miss Ethel Spencer; Momento Musicals, op. 94, No. 1, Miss May Cargill; soprano solo, Wasserfluth, Mrs. F. Hiltscher; piano solos, Clavierstueck in E flat minor, Mr. Fritz Reiser; Impromptu, op. 90, No. 1, Miss Mabel Schulte; piano violin serenade, Messrs. Hiltscher and F. Reiser; piano duet, Grand Rondeau, op. 107, Misses Eva Lyons and Mabel Schulte. All of the numbers were excellently rendered. One of the features of the evening—and quite a rare treat as well—was the singing of Mrs. Hinrichs, nee Fleming, who sang several songs in English and German. Mrs. Hinrichs is gifted with a beautiful rich, melow and sympathetic contralto voice of fine timbre. Her husband, Mr. G. Hinrichs, holds a prominent place as conductor of operas and high class concerts. Among the audience were beside the hostess, Mesdames Harrison, Van Cleve, Lovering, Hiltscher and A. Rimpau, Mr. and Mrs. W.J.Smith, Misses Rimpau, Mr.A.H.Cargill and others. Fullerton is justly proud of its high school, which has completed another year's successful work. At a meeting of the Board of Education held some days ago the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, that we express to our present teachers our hearty appreciation of their efficient work and the high standing to which they have brought our school, and our congratulations for their success in having their work accredited by the universities of the State; that it is the sense of this board that the salaries for the ensuing year be $1150 for the principal and $900 for the assistant; that it is our desire that our present teachers, W.R.Carpenter and Miss Adella Tucker, should remain with us the ensuing year, 1897-8. [Signed] "J.H.WHITAKER, 'B.F.PORTER, 'W.M.M'FADDEN. 'W.J.HOLE, 'WM.STARBUCK." This action of the board is in keeping with the sentiment of the people of Fullerton with reference to their school. The school is now in its fourth year. Mrs. Katherine Fleming Hinzichs, daughter of Mrs. W.J.Smith, who is at present visiting her mother at Orangethorpe, has kindly accepted an invitation from the Ladies' Aid Society of Fullertin to sing at an entertainment to be given in Chadbourne Hall on Saturday evening, June 26. Mrs. Hinrichs came from the east two years ago for the purpose of singing in the Fiesta concert at Los Angeles, and many of her friends and acquaintances will be glad to have an opportunity of hearing her contralto voice again. Those who have not heard her should not miss this treat. Mrs. Hinrichs finds that she will have to cut her visit short here in order to fulfill an operatic engagement in San Francisco, following which she will return to the east to all several concert engagements in New York and Washington. This will be the only opportunity of hearing her. A feature of the program will be the singing by Mrs. Hinrichs of a song, Wald Lied, composed by her husband, Gustav Hinrichs, the celebrated operatic impressario. Rev. Keith departed on Monday for Lexington, Ky., where he goes for the purpose of accepting the Presidency of the Lexington College, from which he graduated many years ago, a telegram which arrived on Saturday afternoon tendering him that important position. Mr. Keith has also within a few days past been offered the Presidency of the University of Albany, Mo., and he may look into that offer before deciding which to accept. He left for Los Angeles, in company of his daughter, on Monday, and he proceeded East on Tuesday. His family will go to Santa Cruz to spend some weeks during the summer, until such time as he becomes settled in his new home. Mr. Keith has been the pastor of the Christian church for some months past, and his eloquent sermons have done much to popularize that house of worship. His sermons were those of the deep thinker and scholar that he is, and it is unfortunate that, just as the reverend gentleman was becoming well acquainted in the community, he is compelled to depart herefrom. We wish him every blessing in his new home, and hope some time to see him again in California. Dr. A.W.Bickford, recently of Pasadena, has become the successor to Dr. Champion, having purchased that gentleman's business interests here, and has succeeded to his medical practice. Dr. Bickford will occupy the office and residence until recently occupied by Dr. Champion. His wife arrived yesterday to join him as a permanent resident of this city. The new physician comes highly recommended as a medical practitioner of many years experience, and will no doubt attain to a lucrative practice in this community. Dr. Champion contemplates returning to his old home in Portsmouth, Ohio, where he will practice his profession after an absence of some years. He was compelled to come west on account of his wife's health, as well as that of himself, but after a residence of two years in the balmy climate of Southern California, feels able to take up again the duties of an arduous practice in the east, which we hope will bring him ample compensation. Dr. Champion's sterling qualities have made him many friends during his residence in Anaheim, all of whom will regret his departure. He will put in a few weeks camping on the sea coast, and will depart for his old home along toward the middle of July. We extend to Dr. Bickford a welcome into the community; we are sorry to have Dr. Champion go, but are glad to find his success so eminently well qualified to take the Doctor's place.
