THE NEWS OF THE WEEK New Electric Lights to Be Turned on Tuesday Evening. Brewer Conrad Charged With Conducting a Retail Liquor Business at His Brewery, and the City Will Demand a Liquor License If He Continues to Sell at Retail—Accident at the Alamitos Sugar Factory—Progress of Work on the Well Pit—Bro. Howlett Falls in Five Feet of Water in the Sump-Jacob Walton Comes to Town on a Visit—Mr. Bancroft Recovering—Edwin White Strikes Out for the Klondyke Gold Field—Minor Matters. The Board of City Trustees broke the record for short meetings on Tuesday evening, for they adjourned before 9 o'clock, after less than an hour's deliberation. There were present Trustees Rust, Lewis, Helmsen and Groat; absent, Conrad. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the purchase of a car of oil at $1 per barrel of 22 gravity, which was the best oil the city had ever purchased, the usual gravity being from 15 to 16. He also reported the auditing of accounts and the going over of bills presented against the city. Trustee Lewis of the Committee on Public Improvements reported the power house had been moved and enlarged; the work of enlarging and improving the boiler house had been begun and would probably be finished this week. A two-inch water main had been laid on Philadelphia street a distance of 575 feet, and the two-inch pipe on Claudina street had been joined with the four-inch pipe on Broadway, making a loop around the two blocks bounded by those streets, with Center street on the north. A couple of leaks in the new water mains, which were caused by the blowing out of the joints at the service connections, had been repaired, and he recommended that the cost of the same be charged to Gardiner & Howe. A bill of $5 for repairing the breaks was accordingly made to that firm. It was ordered that the cost of any changes found necessary to be made in the water mains be charged up to Gardiner & Howe. Marshal Steadman reported in the matter of the charges preferred by T. J. F. Boege against Brewer Conrad, charging him with maintaining a retail liquor establishment at his brewery, that he had found the charges to be substantiated. He had found on investi- THE FARMERS' CLUB. Necessity for the Establishment of a Fruit Dryer or Cannery—Committees Appointed. The Farmers' Club met at the residence of Mrs. Langenberger on Monday afternoon, when one of the most interesting meetings of the series was enjoyed by probably the largest turnout so far reported by the club. That the club is gaining in popularity and membership admits of no doubt, and numerous applications for membership are constantly coming in. The first business of the meeting was a discussion of two questions submitted to the Question Box, as follows: 1. "What are we going to do with our peaches this year?" 2. "When are we to have our annual picnic?" Mr. Cargill occupied the chair, and for an answer to the first question called upon George Hunter to make reply. Mr. Hunter said that he would have from 15 to 20 tons of fine peaches this year, and the lack of suitable provisions for drying the crop was to him a matter that engaged his serious attention. He had set out the trees originally under the impression that the dryer which was started here some years ago, with a monetary contribution on the part of the citizens of the city and surrounding country amounting to about $1500, would take all the fruit raised. The dryer had not turned out as the contributors to the fund had expected, and he argued in favor of the formation of a new drying company, to use up the product of the orchards of the valley. Mr. Rogers considered the matter of the establishment of a co-operative fruit cannery a pertinent one, and worthy of all consideration. It had been demonstrated that a cannery would pay handsomely, and he advocated the formation of such an enterprise. The project had been agitated before but had so far failed to secure the object sought to be attained. The subject, however, he thought, should have the careful attention of the club, and as the best means looking to that end he suggested that a committee be appointed to investigate the matter of the establishment of a dryer or cannery, and report to the club. The chair stated that he thoroughly agreed with the cannery project, or with any enterprise having for its object the working up of the by-products of the orchard. Over at Ontario they were making citric acid out of cull oranges and lemons, and a similar enterprise might be established here. Thousands of dollars worth of cull go to waste annually, which could be used profitably with an estab- Hleinigkeiten. A light sprinkle of rain fell early yesterday morning. Mr. Cahen is putting down a windmill at his residence on Claudina street, and will erect a windmill and tank. Wm. Champlin has rigged up a large umbrella over the seat of his truck, which affords a plenty of shade on warm summer days. I. W. Hellman has obtained a decree from the Superior Court quieting title in him to 67.38 acres at Anaheim Landing. The two underground oil tanks at the city waterworks have been connected by a three inch pipe, for which excavations were made on Tuesday. The tanks are about ten feet apart. Evangelical Lutheran service in the Episcopal church at 2:30 next Sunday. Rev. H. Ehlen of South Dakota will occupy the pulpit for Rev. J. Kogler. A cordial invitation is extended all to attend. The Directors of the water company went up the ditch on Monday on an inspection of the upper works. They report the upper ditch in good shape, and an equitable division being made of the water in the river. Herman Stern has rigged up an old shoe alongside of a new patent leather, in front show window of his store, and labeled the display, "Before and after buying." Herman has an eye for the grotesque as well as the beautiful. The building formerly occupied by the Winzer restaurant is being renovated and repaired, and a board wall has been constructed on either side of it along the sidewalk line. New improvements constantly going on. Louis Schorn has made an affidavit with the County Clerk that he was the grantee in a deed, book 295, page 11, Los Angeles county, for lot 1, block K, of the Kraemer tract, and that his name was therein erroneously spelled Shorn instead of Schorn. Mr. Ware, agent at the Southern Pacific depot, is in receipt of a letter from T. A. Darling, in which he states he will probably return about August 15th. Mr. Darling's stay at his old home in Iowa has been prolonged by the illness of his father. The burglars who broke into Fritz Ruhman's place a week or two ago took with them the key to the back door. Fritz has been able to get in and out by procuring another key, but he would like to have the thieves return the stolen key. Herman Dickel has on exhibition at the Express office a large-sized tarantula, which was taken by Charley in the new water mains, which were caused by the blowing out of the joints at the service connections, had been repaired, and he recommended that the cost of the same be charged to Gardiner & Howe. A bill of $5 for repairing the breaks was accordingly made to that firm. It was ordered that the cost of any changes found necessary to be made in the water mains be charged up to Gardiner & Howe. Marshal Steadman reported in the matter of the charges preferred by T. J. F. Boege against Brewer Conrad, charging him with maintaining a retail liquor establishment at his brewery, that he had found the charges to be substantiated. He had found on investigation that Conrad had sold beer by the glass on two occasions at the brewery, and made a practice of selling beer in less quantities than a gallon. On motion of Trustee Lewis the Clerk was instructed to notify Conrad that if he continues in the sale of beer at retail, the usual license tax of $10 per month will be demanded of him. Bills to the amount of $91 35 were audited and ordered paid. Trustee Lewis moved that a street-sprinkling crane be placed at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets, and that the crane on the corner of Lemon and Chartress streets be moved to Center, or be connected with the Center-street main, by a pipe laid on Lemon street. There is not enough pressure of water on the latter, and too much time is consumed in filling the sprinkler. The city will have pipe enough on hand to do the work, and the only expense, apart from the labor, will be the purchase of two gates. The motion prevailed, and the work was left to the Committee on Public Improvements. A communication was read from Wybro & Lawrence stating that the new electric light machinery would be ready to start up in 3 or 4 days, and asking that when the board adjourn, it adjourn to an evening next week to receive and act upon a request for a partial payment upon the same. There being no further business the board, at 8:55 o'clock, adjourned to next Tuesday evening, when they will proceed to the power house, and witness the working of the new plant. Trustee Lewis stated that subsequent to the last meeting of the board, the Trustees had met with Mr. Lawrence informally, and that gentleman had agreed to comply with all the requirements of the board in reference to the changes demanded in the machinery being installed in the power house. Mr. Lawrence had, he said, agreed to make all the changes asked for by the city; but since that time he appears to have gone ahead on the old lines, and his promises to the Trustees had hardly been heeded. Some changes had been made in the steam fittings, but the main defects in the machinery had not been paid attention to. Mr. Lawrence had come down from Los Angeles on that day expecting to have the works ready to start up that evening, but was surprised to find that, on account of being short handed, his foreman would not be ready for the start-up until 3 or 4 days. After a further discussion of the matter the board adjourned. PLACENTIA ITEMS. Willard Bosworth is building a house. His father from Indiana is visiting him. Miss Crowther and sister Ruby leave the 29th for Catalina. A. S. Bradford and family are at Newport camping. Misses Staley and Beckett leave soon for Catalina. The chair stated that he thoroughly agreed with the cannery project, or with any enterprise having for its object the working up of the by-products of the orchard. Over at Ontario they were making citric acid out of cull oranges and lemons, and a similar enterprise might be established here. Thousands of dollars worth of cull go to waste annually, which could be used profitably with an establishment of this kind. It could use up the oranges and lemons, and then take up green fruits and vegetables later in the season. He considered the Chamber of Commerce ought to take the matter up and enlist the Santa Ana Chamber to end that a county manufactory of this sort be established. Gov. Whitaker spoke of the payment of a bonus of some $1,500 to the Van Valen dryer by the people of this section, some years ago. The beneficiaries of this sum had put up a building worth probably $600, did not pay any price for fruit and the enterprise was a failure—money thrown away. If the people had saved their money and gone into the business themselves, they would have made thousands of dollars. The Governor recalled the time when, over at Orange some years ago, he had dried a crop of peaches, and he had been captivated with their splendid appearance. When dried they looked like so many double eagles, and they netted him handsome returns. If pains are taken and only good fruit raised, the business will always pay. All kinds of fruit should be dried—apricots, prunes and peaches—the market for dried fruit is always good. Anaheim ought to have a dryer at least, if not a cannery. It was a disgrace to let such quantities of good fruit go to waste year after year. Mr. Rogers moved that a committee of three, of which Gov. Whitaker shall be the chairman, be appointed to investigate the matter of handling the present crop, and ascertain whether some arrangement can be made whereby the fruit growers might utilize the dryer. The chair appointed as such committee Messrs. Whitaker, Hunter and Rogers. The question relating to the holding of the club's first annual picnic was after discussion referred to a committee composed of Mrs. Langenberger, Mrs. Whitaker, and Mrs. Rogers. It was decided to hold the next meeting of the club on the last Monday in September, the August meeting being cut out on account of the number of people going to the beach and mountain resorts for their summer outing. Mr. Hunter tendered the club an invitation to meet at his place on that occasion. The invitation was accepted, with thanks. An assault will be made at that time upon Mr. Hunter's watermelon patch. Calls were made for reports upon the rhizobius ventralis, and the club looked forward with great expectation of hearing that the lady birds were slaughtering the scale in a perfectly lovely manner. However, the club was doomed to sore disappointment. Instead of hearing this welcome news, the members were shocked to hear that neither Mrs. Langenberger nor Victor Browning, whom Prof. Woodbridge had promised at the last meeting of the club to forward colonies of the lady birds every ten days for the purpose of testing their scale-destroying proclivities here, had received a single lady bird from the Professor. Mr. Ware, agent at the Southern Pacific depot, is in receipt of a letter from T. A. Darling, in which he states he will probably return about August 15th. Mr. Darling's stay at his old home in Iowa has been prolonged by the illness of his father. The burglars who broke into Fritz Ruhman's place a week or two ago took with them the key to back door. Fritz has been able to get in and out by procuring another key, but he would like to have the thieves return the stolen key. Herman Dickel has on exhibition at the Express office a large-sized tarantula, which was taken by Charley Rogers in the foothills near Flume 12, where the water company is putting in a cement fill to replace the old flume. Tarantulas are numerous in that vicinity, and the one in captivity is a beauty. Misses Emily and Annie Fritz of Los Angeles, the charming daughters of Godfrey Fritz, the well-known contractor, have been visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Kistler for some days past. They returned to their home in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Charles Minehardt of Los Angeles has been in town selling horses during some days past, and left on Tuesday for Fullerton, where he will remain a couple of weeks disposing of them. He informs us that he has sold $900 worth of horses on his trip from Los Angeles to Alamitos, and disposed of seven head to Jim Allen at Norwalk. Early risers this (Thursday) morning may be privileged to see an annular eclipse of the sun. The first contact will appear at 5:25 a.m., and the moon will leave the sun's disc at 7:09, standard Pacific time. Early risers will see only eclipse of the sun this year. Frank Stevens who was sentenced to jail by Judge Pierce on Wednesday last for stealing oranges from Mr. Key's orchard is said to have given an assumed name, his correct name being said to be Hastings. He lives northwest of town, and the officers are of the opinion that his theft of Mr. Key's oranges is not the first offense of a similar nature committed by him hereabout. Ernest Bentz and his brother Rud formed two of a party of visitors to Bolsa on Sunday, and while in bathing in the surf both were stung by stingrays within a short time of one another. Each suffered excruciating pain for some hours, but nothing serious has intervened, and they are now about as well as ever again. Joe Hill was observed in town on Monday morning driving out home with a new four-inch tire Studebaker wagon, which he had just purchased at Lutz & Co.'s. Joe looked as though he might be especially happy over his new purchase. Mr. Mills tells us he has sold two carloads of these wagons to farmers hereabout this season. Frank Baer of Los Angeles, who organized a court of Foresters here some time ago, is reported missing from his home in Los Angeles, and grave fears are entertained as to his safety. When last seen he was on the train to come to Anaheim, but he has not been seen since that time. It is feared he must either have been waylaid or have committed suicide. The city's red lanterns have been displayed on Claudina and Philadelphia streets during the week, excava- PLACENTIA ITEMS. Willard Bosworth is building a house.

Calls were made for reports upon the rhizobius ventralis, and the club looked forward with great expectation of hearing that the lady birds were slaughtering the scale in a perfectly lovely manner. However, the club was doomed to sore disappointment. Instead of hearing this welcome news, the members were shocked to hear that neither Mrs. Langenberger nor Victor Browning, whom Prof. Woodbridge had promised at the last meeting of the club to forward colonies of the lady birds every ten days for the purpose of testing their scale-destroying proclivities here, had received a single lady bird from the Professor. The President was given authority to poke the Professor up, he having evidently forgotten his promise, and to suggest to him to hurry on the lady birds. Horticultural Commissioner Huntington stated the question of the rhizobius had been discussed by the Orange county commissioners and that Mr. Hamilton had been dispatched to Los Angeles to ascertain whether colonies could be brought to Orange county. Mr. Hamilton will report to the county commissioners at their meeting tomorrow. The club entered into a discussion of spraying for young scale, many of the members having found it efficacious, Mr. Hunter having achieved particularly good results on young red scale by the use of Prof. Cook’s kerosene emulsion. Mr. Eyman reported that he had not yet heard from Prof. Cook or Prof. Woodbridge relative to curl leaf in walnuts submitted to them. Mrs. Langenberger, assisted by her daughters, Mrs. Turck and Mrs. Dickel, served refreshments, which were paid particular attention to, and later a vote of thanks was tendered her for her hospitality. Mrs. Charles Rogers favored the club with a vocal selection, and Mr. Dickel and Mrs. Rogers followed with a duet. After the adjournment of the meeting, the members of the club made a visit into the orchard, where the beneficial effects of the recent fumigation were noted. Lost. On the road between Buena Park and Anaheim, a small nickle-plated grip; containing clothes brush, blacking-brush, razor and other articles. Finder please return to this office and receive reward. Judge Pierce and others buy the Extra Newton beet wagon. Frank Baer of Los Angeles, who organized a court of Foresters here some time ago, is reported missing from his home in Los Angeles, and grave fears are entertained as to his safety. When last seen he was on the train to come to Anaheim, but he has not been seen since that time. It is feared he must either have been waylaid or have committed suicide. The city’s red lanterns have been displayed on Claudina and Philadelphia streets during the week, excavations having been made on those thoroughfares to admit of making connections and laying new water mains. Street Superintendent Steadman and a force of men completed the work on Tuesday. Several ranchers in the neighborhood of the Brookshurst section report losses by thieves, George Hatfield being among those to suffer losses while absent from home. Evidently a coat of tar and feathers is about the right thing for the larcenist responsible for the petty thieving. And it is thought his identity is pretty well established. The new electric light machinery will be ready to start up about next Tuesday evening. There are thirteen are lights on Center street, besides numerous others placed on different streets about town; and that thoroughfare is probably the best lighted street in any town this size in California. While coupling cars at the Santa Fe depot on Monday afternoon about 4, a brakeman on the northbound freight had the thumb of his left hand crushed by having it caught between the bumpers of the cars. He was taken to Los Angeles on the evening passenger train. It was thought the thumb would have to be amputated. John Adams and J. R. Boswell were arrested at Fullerton on Saturday last by Deputy Sheriff Porter for disturbing the peace, and owing to the vacancy in the Justice’s office in that community, which is caused by the resignation of Justice Wright, they were brought over to appear in Judge Landell’s court. Boswell gave bonds for his appearance for trial, and Mr. Adams failing so to do, was remanded to the custody of Constable Bittner to await trial on Monday morning. Appearing at that time, Mr. Adams, who We are selling off our Stock rapid Ana. At the way we are Slangy Clothes, because you are getting our STRAW HATS at Ridiculo that we can get away as quick as Store Open Daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Square-Dealing and Positively F. J. Capitain, the indefatigable sugar factory promoter, was in town Tuesday.

He lives north-, and the officers are of the theft of Mr. Key's not the first offense of a crime committed by him here. Bentz and his brother Rud of a party of visitors to Sunday, and while in bathing both were stung by stinging a short time of one another. Excruciating pain for them but nothing serious has been they are now about as again. It was observed in town on morning driving out home from four-inch tire Studebaker which he had just purchased at.

It is feared he must be been waylaid or have com-ade. Y's red lanterns have been on Claudina and Philadel- during the week, excava- decked in the latest style of bloomers, and with their golden hair changing down of their backs. They rode up Center street to Claudina and disappeared into Broadway, and were the observed of all observers. —On Wednesday last as a trainload of Anaheim beets was leaving Ontario for the factory at Chino five cars broke loose and ran wildly all the distance to Chino, there being no men on the cars. The grade is quite heavy, and the cars made great speed. A tramp on the cars, though he managed to get off, had a heel badly lacerated. On reaching Chino the cars collided with a number of other cars there and a bad wreck resulted. A wrecking train was called in, and one of the workmen, T. L. Castello, received serious injuries by having a hand crushed. He was taken to the hospital in Los Angeles, where it is thought the hand will have to be amputated. —We see by the Long Beach Eye that T. H. Ballard has written that journal from Canby, Cal., asking that paper be sent to him at that point for a couple of months. Mr. Ballard is the gentleman who was arrested for riding his bicycle on a sidewalk in town some time ago, and gave a worthless check in payment of his fine of $10. The worthlessness of the check was not discovered until some days afterward, when it was learned that Ballard had departed from his usual haunts at Long Beach. Canby is in Modoc county, in the extreme northern part of the State, and Mr. Ballard has placed sufficient distance between himself and the scene of his criminal offense—that of issuing a worthless check—to make him reasonably safe from pursuit by the officers. —a horse race at Yorba on Sunday last eventuated into an all-round scrap in which a couple of Mexicans living at Olive and one living in this city are said to have got the worst of it. There were several minor races in the morning, and when the principal event of the day—a 300 yard dash between Santos Carrissena's horse White Stockings, and a buckskin horse from Olive handled by Jesaldo Preciado—was announced the excitement was at fever heat. After fiddling about for a start, the horses got away with White Stockings well in front; but the rider of the other horse refused to race, claiming White Stockings had had an unfair start. It was when the latter returned to the starting point for another trial that the scrap began, and from all accounts it was participated in freely by many of those present. A real sociable time was enjoyed by all engaged in the mixup, which is said to have been absolutely devoid of any stiffness and formality. Several gentlemen were laid up for repairs, and the races were over for the day. —An accident occurred at the Alamitos sugar factory on Thursday morning last which resulted in the blowing out of five cell doors attached to the diffusion battery, and the slicing of beets had to be discontinued until Saturday afternoon. The accident was due to the inexperience of one of the laborers, who failed to signal the precipitation of the beet juice into the diffusion battery, and the doors were blown out of the cells, one after the other, with a loud report that spread consternation throughout the works. An order for new doors was forwarded to Los Angeles, and after a vexatious delay of a day and a half, the factory resumed operations again on Saturday afternoon. In Los Angeles on Friday Mrs. Dr Lee and daughter Miss Bertha, are spending a few days at Long Beach. The doctor spent Sunday with them at the seashore. Sam Kraemer was in town on Monday from his Placentia ranch. Sam is confident that good times are about to settle upon us. The walnut crop will be short, but of good quality. Rev J. B. Tombes and family are down from Los Angeles and will spend the summer on their ranch on Placentia avenue—one of the most beautiful places on the avenue. Mr. Blennnerhassett of the water office has been seriously indisposed during the week, and Miss Kate Champlin has been attending to the duties of the office. W.M McFadden of Placentia has been entertaining his niece, Miss McFadden, of Peoria, Ill., and Mr. and Mrs.Burlingame of Ohio. Sunday Mac treated the visitors to a trip to the Landing. Count Bozenta and Madame Modjeska left on Friday for San Francisco for a sojourn of several weeks. They were accompanied by Miss Mabel Langenberger. Mrs. Dr Lightfoot of Texarkana, Ark., who will be pleasurable remembered by many friends hereabout as Miss Irene Fleiemy, daughter of Mrs.W.J.Smith, is expected to arrive the latter part of the week on a visit to relatives. A.D.Coombs came down from Los Angeles yesterday and paid a visit to the well pit. The five feet of water in the pit will be pumped out by Engineer Des Granges this morning, and subsequently an examination of the work put in the sump by Mr.Rask will be made. Judge Marks is no longer connected with the Alamitos sugar factory, having last week severed his connection therewith. The Judge has rather a hard story of ingratitude to tell, and avers another sugar factory near town is one of the enterprises likely to eventuallyate in the near future. He was in town on Monday. His family are temporarily living at Alamitos. Mr.Bancroft of Orangetho rpe who swallowed strychnine on Tuesday of last week while under temporary aberration has so far recovered as to be able to be out again. His son John Bancroft, came down from Los Angeles, in response to telegraphic summons, and after remaining with his father over night, and finding him improved and out of danger, returned to his home in Los Angeles next day. Edwin M. White, son of Rev. White of the Methodist church, is the first Anaheimer to strike out for the Klondyke gold fields, and left on Tuesday evening to join Mr. and Mrs.Bekin Seattle, whence the journey to the gold fields will be made up by Yukon river. Edwin received a dispatch on Sunday wiring him to come to Seattle. Mr.Bekin has associated himself with a Mr.Lewis of Chicago, and the party will leave for Dawson as soon as Edwin arrives. Our young fellow-townsman expects to be absent a year, and goes north filled with a laudable ambition to find a rich gold mine and return to his father's house weighted down with richness galore. The best wishes of a host of friends go with him on his journey. F.J.Capitain, the indefatigable sugar factory promoter, was in town on Tuesday. Mr.Capitain recently signed his position as Secretary of the Bixby land company, although he tains a large interest in the company. We are informed that he is working with another sugar-factory enterprise, and we should not be surprised to hear him making it a go. The factory may be located on the San Joaquin. Napoleon Hart and John Kuebblen left on Sunday for the Shadow mountains, in Nye county, Nev., on a pro-pecting tour, to be absent three or four weeks. They will visit the Puhr Valley, near the place where D.Sorenson lost his life on the descent some years ago. They go by way Barstow, and will cover a considerable part of their journey by stage. During Mr.Hart's absence that expert manologist, Ed Morgan, will act as superintendent of his establishment. August Menzel has returned from his outing at Newport and is again handling the ribbons over the mules pelling the street car. August informs us he had a way-up time at Newport which he says is getting to be quite shipping point. One day last week seven vessels arrived, including two coast steamer Corona. All the other vessels were laden with lumber. Fishing was good and August prolonged his intended stay of three days into a week Allan Melrose, who took his place during his vacation, is rusticizing with Will Julian down at Long Beach. M.J.Bauer returned from his trip San Francisco one day last week, since his return has been seen about town with a stately looking ladyman investigation proves he marries on his recent trip to the metropolis through correspondence, and meetingthe lady in the northern metropolisand both acquiring an attachmentthe other, two were joined inrimony. Mr.Bauer looks youngera number of years,and intends goinginto business at the West End withinshort time. He has gathered hisfamily about him and is getting alongwell as could be expected of the youngbridgroom that he is. Jacob Walton, the well-known princeident and manager of the Westminster creamyery is runningto full tide of prosperity,makingmore butter than ever and gettingaisfactory prices for it.The butterthis well-known creamyery is handledby Jevne,the Los Angeles grocerywhich we should say is highlycommentary to the creamyery, Jevne's grocerybeing probablythe best stockand fanciest establishmentofthe kionthe Pacific coast.The creamyeryoutput amountsfrom $1000to$2000 especially happy over his new Mr. Mills tells us he has overheads of these wagons to see about this season. Miller of Los Angeles, who orport of Foresters here some reported missing from his Los Angeles, and grave fears aided as to his safety. When was on the train to come to but he has not been seen time. It is feared he must be waylaid or have comrade. Y's red lanterns have been on Claudina and Philadelphi during the week, excavating been made on those thorny admit of making connection laying new water mains. Interendent Steadman and a been completed the work on ranchers in the neighbor-Brookshurst section report believes, George Hatfield being those to suffer losses while at home. Evidently a coat ofathers is about the right the larcisten responsible for achieving. And it is thought is pretty well established. New electric light machinery need to start up about next evening. There are thirteen on Center street, besides others placed on different out town; and that thoroughly probably the best lighted any town this size in California. Coupling cars at the Santa Monay afternoon about 4, on the northbound freightumb of his left hand crushed it caught between the bump-pears. He was taken to Los on the evening passenger was thought the thumb would amputated. Adams and J. R. Boswell posted at Fullerton on Saturday deputy Sheriff Porter for disheepeace, and owing to the Justice's office in that day, which is caused by the man of Justice Wright, they might over to appear in Judge court. Boswell gave bonds appearance for trial, and Mr. telling so to do, was remanded body of Constable Bittner to deal on Monday morning. Appet that time, Mr. Adams, who mitos sugar factory on Thursday morning last which resulted in the blowing out of five cell doors attached to the diffusion battery, and the slicing of beets had to be discontinued until Saturday afternoon. The accident was due to the inexperience of one of the laborers, who failed to signal the precipitation of the beet juice into the diffusion battery, and the doors were blown out of the cells, one after the other, with a loud report that spread consternation throughout the works. An order for new doors was forwarded to Los Angeles, and after a vexatious delay of a day and a half, the factory resumed operations again on Saturday afternoon. In Los Angeles on Friday the report prevailed that one man had been killed and several injured by the explosion, and telephone messages were sent hither inquiring as to the authenticity of the reports. Of course the reports were altogether unfounded. Sugar of a very superior quality is being made and stored in the warehouse. T. J. Rask, an expert hydraulic engineer of Los Angeles, came down in company of Frank Ward on Friday to give his personal supervision to finishing the floor of the well pit at the water works. On Saturday morning at 5 o'clock pumping operations began, there being some five feet of water in the pit at the time, and by 9 o'clock the water had been pumped out. A piece of tin, fitting closely into the wrought-iron casing of the sump at the bottom of the pit, was then placed in position and tamped down to the bottom of the sump. A stout piece of canvass was then stretched across the casing, and well submerged under water, and while four men held up the corners, Mr. Watson shoveled cement upon it, the cement having been precipitated over the side of the pit by Signor Ramaella and Sheldon Littlefield, jr., who subsequently went down and assisted in holding the canvass while the cement was being placed upon it. Joe Bennerscheidt, jr., also assisted in holding the canvass, and Mr. Rask directed the operations from above. When sufficient cement had been placed upon the canvass, the same was permitted to descend upon the tin, and the work of the day was over. The idea is that with the setting of the cement, the flow of water will be stopped, and the vexed question be at an end. The water rose gradually in the pit, when on Sunday it had attained its usual level of five feet. There it has remained during the week, and it will not be pumped out until the cement sets, which will probably be some days yet. Anhalter to serve out for the Incky dyke gold fields, and left on Tuesday evening to join Mr. and Mrs. Beek in Seattle, whence the journey to the gold fields will be made up the Yukon river. Edwin received a dispatch on Sunday, wiring him to come to Seattle. Mr. Beek has associated himself with a Mr. Lewis of Chicago, and the party will leave for Dawson as soon as Edwin arrives. Our young fellow-townsmans expects to be absent a year, and goes north filled with a laudable ambition to find a rich gold mine and return to his father's house weighted down with richness galore. The best wishes of a host of friends go with him on his journey. Br. Howlett did not stay with the well pit very long, and threw up the job on Thursday, after vainly trying for two days to staunch the flow of water in the sump. The seven-foot wrought-iron casing which had been imported at great expense from Los Angeles to insert within the sump, as one of the preliminaries to staying upward tendency of the water, was lowered into position on Wednesday afternoon, but when it was sought to adjust it in its place, it was found that obstructions would not permit of its lowering to a greater extent than some five or six feet, leaving a foot or two of the wrought iron protruding above the flooring of the pit. In this extremity it was resolved to compromise on the depth of the sump, and allow it a depth extending only to the bottom of the casing and to cut off that part of the casing protruding above the floor. It was hard work cutting the casing with the water spurting out as with the force of a young artesian well, and to make matters worse Bro. Howlett, while circumnavigating the upper part of the casing, missed his footing and fell to the bottom of the sump in five feet of water, drenching himself to the skin. This was on Wednesday. Early next morning Howlett departed for his home in Los Angeles, desiring to get far, far away from the pit, and to put as much distance between him and the sump as possible. All work was again suspended, and on Friday morning water stood in the pit to a depth of five feet. On Saturday morning when operations were resumed under different management, the casing was found, when the water was lowered sufficiently to bring it into view, just where Bro. Howlett had left it, partly cut off; but, lower the water in the sump as one might, there was no trace of the place where Bro. Howlett had fallen two days before. Westminster cremery is running at full tide of prosperity, making more butter than ever and getting its isfactory prices for it. The butter this well-known cremery is handling by Jevne, the Los Angeles grocer which we should say is highly compartmentary to the cremery, Jevne's gery being probably the best stock and fanciest establishment of the kings on the Pacific coast. The cremery output amounts from $1000 to $2000 month, and a ready market awaits every pound of butter made. Much this happy condition of affairs is due to the excellence of Mr. Walton's management, he being one of the most perienced butter makers in the county. Mr. Smith owns the largest box factory in Iowa, and uses up annually 000,000斤 of lumber in the manufacture of boxes. He is captivated with Orange county, and pronounces it gem of what he has so far seen California. Mr Walton informs us that a large area is being prepared for celerythe Peatlands than ever—twice acreage of last year. The celery fiere are one of the busiest sights in this county, and Mr Walton will try hand at the business himself in season. Celebrated for its great leavening strength and healthfulness.
