THE LOCAL NEWS. Further Payment on the Electric Light Works. City Trustees Discuss the Matter of Extending the Time for Completion of the Water Works Contract, but Take No Action—Proceedings of the Burgomeister Meeting on Tuesday Evening. What the Water Board Did at Their Meeting on Saturday—A Westminster Man Returns With Alaska Gold—An Anaheim Lady in a Long Beach Fire—The Well Pit Nearing Completion—Napoleon Hart and His Mines—Locals. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present Trustees Rust, Lewis, Helmsen and Groat. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for July: License, $166 75; water, $160 10; electric lights, $254 55; total, $581 40; less 5 per cent commission for collecting ($29 07), deposited with Treasurer, $552 33. Delinquents for water, $26 30; for licenses, $10 24; electric lights, 95 cents; total, $37 50. Treasurer Cahen reported an overdraft in the General fund amounting to $14 20, and total in treasury of $10,-389 26. Clerk Nebelung submitted his monthly financial report, showing the amounts in the different bond funds, and total in treasury in figures tallying with those of the treasurer. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the examination of the reports and the approval of the same. No warrants had been allowed, on account of the overdraft in the General fund. Payments will likely be made at the first meeting in September. Several articles had been ordered for the power-house. He stated that the low condition of the General fund was caused by the failure on the part of several gentlemen indebted to the city to pay, the amount coming to about $150. Among these were the bill for oil for pumping the water from the pump pit, amounting to seventy odd dollars, from Gray Bros. & Ward; for the laying of the pipe on Adele fact that Mr. Lawrence denied that he had made the statement at the last meeting of the board that the engine with which the city required him to replace the present machine was "on the way" from Pittsburg. He stated that he had said that the engine was now "under way" at Pittsburg—was being constructed, and had not yet been shipped. Two bills, amounting to $18, in favor of C. S. Rogers, were allowed and ordered paid, and the board adjourned. THE WATER BOARD. Work on the Cement Arch and Sluice Way at Flume 12 Completed on Tuesday. The Board of Directors of the water company met in regular session on Saturday; present, Messrs. Benchley, Crowther, Browning and Nebelung. Mr. Crowther of the committee appointed to investigate the depression at the west end of the flume on the North Branch ditch, to which the attention of the board had been directed by E. K. Benchley, reported that by driving half a dozen stakes and the placing of willow brush in the depression, the same could be remedied at slight cost to the company. In reference to the cutting of the ditch at the Wilshire place, he reported that the ditch was not provided with the necessary gates, and he did not care to criticize or condemn the action of Supt. May of the ranch in cutting the ditch in order to use the water properly. He suggested that some agreement be arrived at between the company and Mr. Wilshire, whereby gates could be placed in the ditch, and recommended that if Wilshire agreed to haul the cement and gravel, the company put in the gates. Mr. Browning objected to the report as not being in writing, and the chair sustained the point as being well taken. Mr. Browning then submitted a report in writing concerning the latter matter, in which he reported that Mr. May had agreed to put in the cement gates; to which the board agreed, and the charge against that gentleman for cutting the ditch was withdrawn. Mr. Crowther reported that a deed to the Foos ditch in Placentia had been made by Mr. Schaller, who had left the deed with Mr. Balcom of the Fullerton bank. There was a charge of 50 cents for the notarial fee. Kleinigkeiten. They call it Klondyke Kommodity now. Charley Titus is talking about going to Klondyke. Jacob Wintter didn't do a ting to Uncle Pfeninger! The City Trustees are sitting this week as a Board of Equalization. The Independent deals very glibly with "asses." Like with like, neighbor. Klondyke reports are thick as leaves in Vallambrossa. Everybody is going. We see reports that walnut growers will stand for 10 cents per pound for soft shells this year. Marshal Steadman and Herman Bennerscheidt are trimming the low-hanging branches of trees along the sidewalks. The school trustees have decided to begin school on September 13th, although they may defer the date to the 20th. Tuesday was pay-day at the Alamitos sugar factory, and quite a large amount of money was disbursed to the factory employees. The Loan and Building association held their regular monthly meeting on Saturday evening, when routine business was transacted. The editor dreamed he borrowed $5 from somebody other night, and forgot who he man was, so the dream didn't come true. Joe Helmsen received a postal card from Fred Hartung a day or two ago bringing the information that he had arrived in Berlin and was having a way up time. The Odd Fellows on Tuesday evening conferred the last degree upon Charley Rogers previous to his departure for Alaska. The excercises were prolonged into the small hours of the morning. Reports are current to the effect that a syndicate is forming to send Dominick Lieb to Alaska to prospect for gold mines. Dominick is an experienced miner, and if he should determine to go he will sail from East San Pedro on the 18th inst. Committee reported the examination of the reports and the approval of the same. No warrants had been allowed, on account of the overdraft in the General fund. Payments will likely be made at the first meeting in September. Several articles had been ordered for the power-house. He stated that the low condition of the General fund was caused by the failure on the part of several gentlemen indebted to the city to pay, the amount coming to about $150. Among these were the bill for oil for pumping the water from the pump pit, amounting to seventy odd dollars, from Gray Bros. & Ward; for the laying of the pipe on Adele street to Mr. Smith's house; and for the heater purchased some time ago by Mr. Grimshaw. Under the head of unfinished business the board took up the matter of the application by Mr. Lawrence for a further payment on the electric light works. Mr. Lawrence appeared before the board in behalf of his company, requesting a payment of $1650, which after discussion was allowed. At the suggestion of City Attorney Chynoweth, a stipulation was agreed to, between Mr. Lawrence and the city, to the effect that the payment was not to be considered in any way as being evidence of the acceptance of the plant, and was not to be considered as the "second payment," called for in the contract which was to be made "on completion of the work." The contract price is $8250, and the first payment amounted to $2887 50, which with the present payment amounts to $4537 50, leaving the city ample security in the event of the non-acceptance of any part of the work. C. S. Rogers, city engineer, addressed the board, saying he was about to tender his resignation as city engineer, and stated that on account of the delay in the work in the well-pit, he would recommend an extension of time to Gardiner & Howe on the water works covering the time lost on the well-pit. He had been asked by Mr. Ward to submit an estimate for additional concrete on the well-pit, but this he had refused to do. He entered into a detailed explanation of the work in hand, and stated that all his maps and notes of water connections were ready to be turned over to the city. He then tendered his resignation, thanking the Board for its uniform kindness to him during the incumbency of his office. The resignation was accepted, and a vote of thanks was passed complimentary of the engineer, which the City Clerk was later on instructed to commit to paper and present to him. In reference to the matter of extending the time on the water works contract, the board after a lengthy discussion decided to defer action until the completion of the work. Mr. Gardiner appeared before the board and asked for the passage of a resolution extending the time, but he was assured the matter of the extension could lay over without prejudice to himself until the completion of the work. Mr. Coombs addressed the board in the matter of compensation for the extra cement put in the flooring of the well-pit. He had understood that Mr. Rogers had said to Mr. Ward that additional compensation would be allowed, but Mr. Rogers here arose and stated that he had made no such statement to Mr. Ward. Mr. Coombs continued in a detailed explanation of the causes conspiring to delay the work on the well-pit, saying that the principal reason was that he had been ordered by the city engineer and Mr. Howe, of Gardiner & Howe, to put the foundation for the engine under the flooring after the work had been and recommended that if Wilshire agreed to haul the cement and gravel, the company put in the gates. Mr. Browning objected to the report as not being in writing, and the chair sustained the point as being well taken. Mr. Browning then submitted a report in writing concerning the latter matter, in which he reported that Mr. May had agreed to put in the cement gates; to which the board agreed, and the charge against that gentleman for cutting the ditch was withdrawn. Mr. Crowther reported that a deed to the Foos ditch in Placentia had been made by Mr. Schaller, who had left deed with Mr. Balcom of the Fullerton bank. There was a charge of 50 cents for the notarial fee. The board instructed Mr. Crowther to pay the same, the company to pay him for it, and to report with the deed at the next meeting, together with the other deeds for the ditch so far as they can be procured. Supt. Sheppard reported the expense account during July to be $909 95, of which $380 was for the regular employees of the company; construction account, $180 87. In the construction account $126 was charged for uncovering the gravel pit, and $170 35 for work on the fill and arch. The work in the sluice way and arch was progressing well, and would be completed on Tuesday, the 10th. Mr. Nebelung brought up the matter of keeping separate accounts for work done on the fill and sluice way, and the Superintendent was instructed so do. Relative to the cost for uncovering the gravel pit, Mr. Crowther suggested that if it cost that much in future to uncover the pit, there could be no profit tothe company in selling gravel to those who wished to purchase it. Mr. Browning said she gravel pit had been left in poor condition by sub-contractors getting gravel for the cementing ofthe company's ditches, who gotthe gravel outthe cheapestway,not caring how theyleftthepit.

He had understood that Mr. Rogers had said to Mr. Ward that additional compensation would be allowed, but Mr. Rogers here arose and stated that he had made no such statement to Mr. Ward. Mr. Coombs continued in a detailed explanation of the causes conspiring to delay the work on the well-pit, saying that the principal reason was that he had been ordered by the city engineer and Mr. Howe, of Gardiner & Howe, to put the foundation for the engine under the flooring after the work had been commenced. This he said was not according to the contract, and he submitted to the orders under protest. Mr. Rogers spoke of the matter briefly, saying that while he was unable to grant Gray Bros. & Ward an estimate for the extra concrete, yet if the Board saw fit to recompense them he should not object. They had lost money on the job and had encountered obstacles in the shape of water and quicksand. They had endeavored to do good work, and he believed that they had done all in their power to push the job to as speedy a consummation as possible. Yet he had told Mr. Ward when the latter gentleman called to see him at Flume 12, regarding the estimate for extra concrete, that it was impossible for him to give him an estimate. He had promised Mr. Ward, however, to lay the matter before the board, and this he had done. The matter went over without action until the next meeting. A communication was received from C.R. Spoerl complaining of a very bad pig pen at the corner of Lemon and Center streets, the savory smells from which were particularly obnoxious to him when the sea breezes blow. To the Marshal for investigation. Joe Des Granges was elected successor to C.S. Rogers as engineer of the water works improvements. Mr. Lawrence addressed the board again in the matter of the engine at the electric power house. He extolled the merits of the machine and did not understand why the board should prefer an old machine to an up-to-date and improved one. While the engine was not the same as the old engine shown in the catalogue, it was the machine that had taken that engine's place and was an improved machine in every way. He suggested that the board inspect the machine as a committee of the whole, as he had received no definite report as to the points of criticism. He asked to be permitted to point out the various points of superiority, and suggested that before the board act finally they look into the good points of the machine. The contract did not stipulate that the engine whose picture appears in the catalogue shall be installed, and the machine placed in the power house does comply with the requirements of the contract. A further discussion revealed the directed to various breaks in bridges, and he was authorized to repair them. Mr. Browning moved, and it was seconded by Mr. Nebelung, that all claims for work done by stockholders on the fill be paid for in cash, instead of giving credit on water accounts; the purpose being to avoid complications of accounts, and there being a plenty of funds on hand to do so. Mr. Crowther opined that the better plan was to credit the stockholders with the amount coming to them on their water accounts; but later withdrew his objection, and Mr. Browning's motion was carried. The board went into executive session on finances. Rev. J. Caballeria, formerly pastor of the Catholic church here, but now a resident of San Bernardino, was in town on Friday on a visit to friends. "Father John," as he is familiarly called, had just returned from a visit to his old parish at Santa Barbara, and while there the Press of that city printed the following interesting item concerning him: "Rev. Father J.Caballeria of San Bernardino, formerly of this city, who spent the past few days here, leaves to-day for his southern home. Mr. Caballeria is a writer of note and contributes many interesting articles to the leading magazines and was the prime mover in a Spanish paper published in this city some years ago. He has traveled considerably and is a close observer and in an interview yesterday regarding the contemplated settlement on the College rancho of a German colony he remarked that wherever you find German farmers you always find thrift and prosperity. They always own their homes and improve the country. He said that probably the most prosperous county to-day is Orange county, which is due largely to the presence of German farmers." Correct, Father John; put her there! The trial of W.E. Miller, charged with battery upon one of the Fullerton charivari party, which was tried before his Honor Judge Marquez at Yorba on Wednesday last, resulted in a verdict of acquittal. The young Santa Ana correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, in writing of the case, says a jury of "twelve stolid Mexicans" was selected, who promptly brought in a verdict of acquittal. The jury was as a matter of fact composed of eight taxpayers, viz., J.Hetebrink, Peter Hansen (Postmaster of Placentia), Newman Essick, David Yorba, Manuel Carrisosa, Juan de la Guera and Rosendo Peralta—far from being slightly referred to in the manner indicated. The case of the original charivari party, accused of disturbing the peace and battery, was on Thursday transferred from Judge Landell's court to Judge Freeman's court at Santa Ana. Ed Boege informs us that while the walnut crop throughout the county is reported light in almost every section, his trees are more heavily laden than ever, and the crop will be probably twice as large as last year. Ed believes in irrigation and last year irrigated his trees five times. He has irrigated them fourteen times this season and thinks of watering them again before the year is much older. Judge Ballard of Orange county, sitting for Judge Noyes in the Superior Court of Riverside, on Tuesday heard arguments of counsel in the case of E.H. Gruwell, county recorder, vs. the county of Riverside. This is an action in which the recorder seeks to recover something over $400 for copying instruments by the folio. Charles R.Gray, for the county, put in a general durrer. Much law was cited on both sides, and Judge Ballard took the question under advisement. A barn belonging to a Villa Park farmer named Rosh caught fire Sunday evening and was totally consumed, together with its contents. Sixty sacks of potatoes, seven or eight tons of hay, one cow and a lot of farming implements went up in smoke. Mr. Rosh and wife were out in the vineyard when they saw the flames bursting from the north side of the barn. In spite of the efforts of themselves and neighbors, nothing could be saved from the burning structure. The farmers of the vicinity got together the next day and contributed a lot of hay for Rosh's stock. The origin of the blaze is unknown. The 28TH OF THIS MONTH will mark the closing day of the Red Front in Santa Ana. Until that date every effort will be made to dispose of as much of their goods as possible so as not to pay freight on it. The prices will be cut and slashed on everything and we advise all our readers to take advantage of this chance to get genuine bargains. Remember only a short time left. The delivery of beets to the Alamitos factory is gradually increasing, while the percentage of saccharine still continues high. Cromes & Norton have touched the top notch with a load which tested 27¼ per cent, for which they received $7.25 per ton. The average continues high, and 24 and 25 per cent beets no longer excite comment. On the whole this section is making a record which has never been equaled in any part of the world. A large party of friends accompanied J.Ross Clark, general manager of the sugar company, and Mrs. Clark, on a visit to the factory on Thursday among whom were T.F.Miller and wife, Misses Hill of Steubenville, Ohio; Misses Ella and Ana Clark, Joseph L.Giroux, superintendent of the United Verde Copper Company of Jerome, Arizona, and A.H.Wethey, superintendent of Butte Reduction Works.

They will march from the convent at 8 a.m. and return at about 5 p.m. Friends who wish to see the boys enjoy themselves and to share in their sport will be cordially welcomed. The Alamitos Bee publishes an interesting list of high percentages of sugar in beets grown in that section the highest going to 26.2 per cent—the highest, we believe, ever reported. Out of 28 tests printed all are 20 or better. This is a good showing for Alamitos, but the Bee should give us the low tests with the high, so that the average may be arrived at. To give the high tests and not the low is to withhold the most valuable part of the information. John Schauman thinks of starting for the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, about the first of the month, and is talking up a colony project for that country. He informs us Fred Meikle, Sam Kraemer, one of the Ball boys and Mr. Sherman are talking of going along and he expects to make a success of it. John has procured an option on a tract of land at Chihuahua, and has unlimited faith in the future of the country. The first payday for beets shipped to the Chino factory is scheduled for Monday. About 15,000 tons of beets have been shipped to Chino, which will net the farmers probably $4 25 per ton. Ten thousand five hundred tons of beets will be paid for (the shipment up to the lst). It usually requires a day or two to compare the accounts, and probably the payments will begin on Tuesday or Wednesday. The sum to be disbursed among the farmers will be about $45,000. At the water works on Monday Fritz Ruhman was very pleasurably reminded of his boyhood days at holding a number of barrels of German cement imported by Mr. Coombs to finish the flooring in the well-pit. The cement was made at Fritz's birthplace in the town of Jtzehoe —pronounced connection with Los Angeles and Long Beach, by way of Bixby station.

This is an action will net the farmers probably $425 per ton. Ten thousand five hundred tons of beets will be paid for (the shipment up to the lst). It usually requires a day or two to compare the accounts, and probably the payments begin on Tuesday or Wednesday. The sum to be disbursed among the farmers will be about $45,000. At the water works on Monday Fritz Ruhman was very pleasurable reminded of his boyhood days at holding a number of barrels of German cement imported by Mr. Coombs to finish the flooring in the well-pit. The cement was made at Fritz's birthplace in the town of Jtzheoe —pronounced Its-ze-hoy—in Holstein, twenty-eight miles journey of five thousand miles landed within a stone's throw of Fritz's house. The cement is pronounced to be the best made, and was imported on account of its advantages in use under water. Fritz looked as though regarding an old friend in sizeup the importation from his far-away home. The well-pit at the water works looks at last as though its flooring had been put in in a water-tight manner. Yesterday the flooring seemed to be as smooth and dry as a cement sidewalk, and the pit had a finished appearance which it has not enjoyed since the beginning. Water flowed into the sump as from a young artesian well, and was kept pumped out, the engine at the power house running uninterrupted for this purpose for 48 hours. If everything goes right, the pump will be placed in position on Monday next. The final work on the pit has been in charge of Mr. Coombs, and Frank Gates officiated at laying the cement. Frank worked on the job by lamplight until three o'clock yesterday morning. Among the fortunate gold hunters in the Klondyke was Frank Phiscator of Westminster, who went up to Alaska two years ago. Neither his family nor friends knew of his whereabouts until they saw accounts of his lucky strike. He cashed in his nuggets at the San Francisco mint a few days ago to the amount of $28,000. Phiscator returned to his former home in Westminster a couple of weeks ago to pay a visit to his old stamping grounds and provide for his young son, who is living with his father-in-law. Mrs. Phiscator since her husband's leafetaking has been earning a livelihood as a domestic, and is now living with a family in Fullerton, and it is not at all improbable that the couple will be reunited. Phiscator is now in San Francisco and will doubtless return to the Klondyke in the Spring. The north-bound train on the Santa Fe due here at 5:10 on Monday was upwards of an hour late, which was caused by an accident to the engine at Oceanside. A telegram was sent from Oceanside to intercept the engine of the south-bound freight that had passed that point a short time before, ordering it back to that place to haul the train to Santa Ana, and another dispatch was forwarded to Los Angeles for an engine to bring the train in from the latter point. About 5 o'clock Louis Ledger and his engine passed through from Los Angeles, he having just come in with a freight from San Bernardino, and he met the train at Santa Ana and hauled it back to Los Angeles. The disabled engine squeaked its way through town along about 7 o'clock Engineer Ledger is on the "extra" list of Santa Fe engineers, and has the distinction of being considered one of the best engineers in the Santa Fe ser-route. Mrs. Mettie Hansen, one of the progressive orchardists of Placentia, was in town on Tuesday on a short business trip and reports the prospects for good crops in her section to be unusually favorable. George Wilton, the well known Santa Ana orator, was married in that town yesterday to Louisa Holstrom. The pride has been employed past three months as a waitress at the Bruswick. Mrs Newton J. Tharp who has been visiting with her parents at Mirafores for some time past has taken her departure for San Francisco. L. H. Levy, one of the well-known Levy Bros. of Santa Ana, proprietors of the Red Front, was in town yesterday afternoon and made this office a pleasant call. Among the leading beet raisers in town on Monday were Gustav Hansen, L. Bressel, M. Klemm, L. Wertzba and G. Spingat. They report the crop turning out well, and a plenty of hard labor in the beet fields. Elwin Fox, the eight-year-old son of Prof. Fox, who has recently been down to Newport on a fishing excursion with some of the grown folks, informs us the yellow-tail are biting fine off the wharf. Elwin is a great bit of a fisherman. Rev. Prauer of Pasadena will occupy the pulpit at the German Methodist church on Monday morning. Communion service will be celebrated. Rev. Schneider returned on Tuesday from the camp meeting at Prospect Park, and reports having had an enjoyable outing. Mrs. Katherine Fleming-Hinrichs' grand opera season opened in San Francisco on Monday evening under unusually auspicious circumstances. The city papers have been unstinted in their praises of Mrs. Hinrichs and the other members of the company. Dr. A. Thompson of Colton, a brother-in-law of G. A. Hunter, is in town on a visit to the family of that gentleman and will remain for a stay of a night. The Doctor is troubled with a temporary affection of the eyes, and hopes to recuperate in the balmy summer climate of this region. H. B. Cooper came over from Orange yesterday to appear before the Board of Equalization relative to his city taxes. He found on arrival that the board does not meet until today, and his trip over the badly cut up and dusty roads was profitless, except so far as it permitted him to view the scenic delights of our town. John Hartung has been a terror to commercial travelers during the circulation of his petition for funds to be used for the organization of a brass band, and has succeeded in rounding up 29 of them for contributions of a dollar each—not a guilty commercial traveler escaped. John informs us he has upwards of $200 pledged, and as soon as he collects the money he will forward the order for the instruments. Mrs. Essick, mother of Newman Essick of Placentia, and Mrs. Finney, her sister, departed on Monday for their home in Crawfordsville Ind., after a four weeks' sojourn with her son and his wife. Mrs. Thomas, sister of the first named ladies, who accompanied them on their California trip, returned to Indiana a week or so ago, visiting with friends in Pomona en route. Mrs. Mettie Hansen, one of the progressive orchardists of Placentia, was in town on Tuesday on a short business trip and reports the prospects for good crops in her section to be unusually favorable.

A number of gentlemen were present, and Alex gave them interesting information of his experiences while in Alaska some 15 years ago. He submitted an estimate of the cost of a steamboat 126 feet long, 26 feet beam, 6 feet depth of hold and drawing two feet of water, the price of which would be $10,000.The plan is to carry passengers to the Yukon, in addition to the parties forming the company, as outlined in our last week's issue. While a number of those present were desirous of going to Dawson, and thought Alex's scheme a good one, no one manifested a disposition to join the enterprise, and the meeting adjourned without action. Alex informed us on Monday that two gentlemen representing Mr. Mesmer of Los Angeles had called upon him on Sunday and offered to advance $20,000 in furtherance of the project.A joint stock company will be formed, so Alex informs us, and another meeting will be held in a fortnight, Mrs. Essick, mother of Newman Essick of Placentia, and Mrs. Finney, her sister, departed on Monday for their home in Crawfordsville Ind., after a four weeks' sojourn with her son and his wife.Mrs. Thomas,sister of the first named ladies who accompanied them on their California trip, returned to Indiana a week or so ago, visiting with friends in Pomona en route. Wm. Konig returned on Friday from his trip to San Francisco coming by steamer by way of Santa Monica.Mr. Konig made the trip bywater,and on the up trip says the steamer was so crowded that beds had to be improvised in the dining room to accommodate passengers.In San Francisco everybody was talking about the mines,and there seemed to be great excitement concerning them. Mrs. Mottram and her niece,Miss Freeland,of England,who arrived here from the other side a fortnight ago have taken Mrs.Langenberger's cottage on Lemon street and will become residents of our city for the present.The ladies have come to Anaheim for the benefit of Miss Freeland's health,she having been so ill when leaving England that she could scarcely walk without assistance They were directed to Anaheim,and so greatly has the balmy climate benefited Miss Freeland that she is able to walk about quite alone and has taken on two pounds in the fortnight of her residence here.Mrs.Mottram is a lady of very charming address,quite captivated with Anaheim,and we hope the climate will entirely restore her niece's shattered health. Mrs. Geo.A Hunter returned on Friday afternoon from Long Beach,having had a thrilling experience in the fire the night beforewhich destroyed the lodging house at which she was temporarily a guest.The fire broke out about 1 o'clock in the morning from the turning over of a lamp,and the frame building burned so rapidly that the occupants were able to save only a portion of their effects.Mrs.Hunter was the first to discover the fire,she being awakened by the crackling of the blaze near her room.She gave the alarm immediately,but the flames had achieved such headway that when she returned to her apartment after arousing the household,she had time to recover only a part of her clothing,the greater portion of her apparel being destroyed by the fire.She was fortunate in escaping without injury to herself,但the anticipated sojourn at the beach was rudely interfered with, Celebrated for its great leavening strength and healthfulness.Assures the food against alum and all forms of adulteration common to the cheap brands.
