THE LOCAL NEWS. City Fathers Settle With Gardiner & Howe. Two Meetings of the Burgomeisters Needed Before a Settlement is Arrived at Tuesday Morning at 1 O'clock the Final Agreement Made, and a Warrant Drawn in Payment for the Works — The Plant Accepted—A Chilcoot Pass Correspondent in Town—Marriage of Well-Known People—Charley Bailey on His Old Stamping Grounds—Supt. Sheppard's Scrap—Dr. Hardin Resting Easy—Local Brevities. The City Trustees have been earning their salaries during the week. On Thursday evening last they met in consultation with Gardiner & Howe, for the purpose of arriving at some basis of settlement of the differences existing between them relative to the final payments for the water works. The deliberations were prolonged far into the night, and when they adjourned it was found that although the board had wrestled with the many items in the bill for extras submitted by the contractors, there was a lot of work yet to do before a satisfactory conclusion could be arrived at, and on Monday evening the board met again. The deliberations were prolonged until a quarter past 1 o'clock Tuesday morning. At midnight the electric lights went out, and coal oil lamps were brought in, and the work of scrutinizing every item in the bill went on as if nothing had happened. The total amount due the contractors was found to be $10,140.36. Against this a bill amounting to $844.90 was brought by the city. Of this amount $423.90 was charged for fuel oil for work on the pump pit, use of boilers, water for concrete, use of hose cart and hose, water for wetting down trenches, etc.; added to this was $200 for the tunnel (which was stricken out of the specifications), $65 for the old Hooker pump (which the contractors agreed to take off the hands of the city), and various other items stricken from the specifications, in all making $844.90. This, subtracted from the total amount owing the contractors, left a balance of $9,295.46. From this 25 per cent was deducted, according to the contract, to be withheld 35 days, in order to indemnify the city in case of breakage, etc., which amounts to $2223.66, and which leaves a balance of $6971.60. Payments aggre- pumping pit as follows: Depth, 24 feet 6 inches; inside diameter at top, 17 feet 9 inches; inside diameter at bottom, 17 feet. Gardiner & Howe, both of whom were present, argued that so far as ramming the back filling was concerned, the work had been done under the supervision of Mr. Rogera, who had passed upon the work and admitted it into his estimates. If there was to be any objection to the ramming, it should have been made at that time. However, both claimed the back filling had been put in according to contract; that the trenches were all in excellent shape except in the case of a section on Broadway where a gopher had worked his way from the ditch into the trench, letting in the water and settling it. Relative to the contractors' demand for extras, they were met with a stubborn resistance on the part of Trustees Lewis and Helmsen, Mayor Rust abstaining from comment. The argument between the Trustees and the contractors waged for the better part of five hours, when finally, as the night turned into the hours of the morning, a final agreement was arrived at, and the tired-out board adjourned and went to bed. The original bid of Gardiner & Howe for installing the water works was $9324, and a bill for extras amounting to $932.01 was brought in by them. The net amount paid them was $9295.46, being $28.54 less than the original contract price. BURNED TO DEATH. The Shocking End of the Eight-Year-Old Son of M. J. Bauer on Saturday Afternoon. Herman Joseph Bauer, the eight-year-old son of M. J. Bauer, living with his parents in the house west of the residence of T. A. Darling, a short distance beyond the Southern Pacific depot, was so badly burned while attempting to light the fire in the kitchen stove with kerosene on Saturday afternoon about 2 o'clock that death supervened at 7 o'clock in the evening. He was burned about the neck, shoulders, arms, breast and abdomen. The legs were also burned, the parts of the trunk being almost baked. The little boy was about to start the fire in the kitchen stove, and the wood being green, had taken the oil can and poured oil upon the wood. His little sister, Mary Frances Bauer, aged 10, had cautioned him not to use the oil upon the fire. Mrs. Bauer, her stepmother, having but a moment before pushed her car after attempting to do die.

Payments, aggregating $6533.95 had been made Gardiner & Howe, leaving a net balance of $437.65 coming to them. At I Tuesday morning the amount was finally agreed to by both parties, a warrant in that amount was drawn and turned over to Gardiner & Howe, and a formal vote was passed by the board accepting the water works. When the board had been called to order Monday evening, with Trustees Rust, Lewis and Helmsen present, and Groot and Conrad absent, Engineer Des Granges submitted the following final report upon the works: To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim: GENTLEMEN—I submit to you my report on the construction and completion of the water works, as constructed by Messrs. Gardiner & Howe for the city of Anaheim. From the time of my appointment to succeed Mr. Charles Rogers I have taken great care to see that the work under my supervision was carried on as prescribed by the specifications relating to the work. After installing the new Deane and old Worthington pumps in the new pumping pit provided for them, the pumps have been connected up in first-class manner—complete according to my instructions—after which the new Deane fire pump and pipes and fire hydrant were subjected to a test of twenty-eight continuous hours at a pressure of 150 pounds per square inch, and I fail to find any flaw in the working of the pumps or leaks in the pipes. In connection with the work done prior to my supervision, after a thorough investigation, I find that there has been some of the work done not according to the specifications. First—The specifications provide for the furnishing of one key for each valve, and any and all keys must fit each and every stem. These have not been turned over to the city. Second—The specifications provide for the making of seventy service connections, of which number fifty-three were made, leaving seventeen connections not furnished to the city. Third—The specifications provide for the thorough cleaning of the pipes of all adhering earth and foreign matter, which was not done, and which has caused some trouble in choking up the service pipes and meters, which the city had to repair. Fourth—The specifications provide for, in back filling, that after the pipe has been laid the trench shall be filled with selected material free from stones, etc., and said back filling shall be rammed under and around the pipe with suitable rammers, and to a level of six inches above the top of pipe. The remainder of the back filling shall be made with material excavated in layers of not more than twelve inches in depth. Each layer must be thoroughly tamped with hand rammers weighing not less than twenty pounds and being not more than six inches in diameter at the lower or tamping end. In refilling and tamping the earth in the trenches there shall not be more The little boy was about to start the fire in the kitchen stove, and the wood being green, had taken the oil can and poured oil upon the wood. His little sister, Mary Frances Bauer, aged 10, had cautioned him not to use the oil upon the fire, Mrs. Bauer, her stepmother, having but a moment before punished her for attempting to do the same thing. The lad said he would be careful that it would not hurt him, and in an instant the can exploded, with a loud report, deluging his clothes and enveloping him in a blaze. He called excitedly for help, and Mrs. Bauer ran to his assistance from one of the front rooms, finding him a mass of flames. Hastily telling him to run outside and roll upon the grass, as the best means of putting out the flames, and laboring under great excitement, she ran out into the front yard and called loudly to the neighbors for help. With great presence of mind the little boy's sister threw water upon him, and thus saved him from being incinerated. Patrick Doyle, foreman of the section gang, who was working on the railroad tracks nearby, said to his men that there was trouble at the house, and calling to them to follow him, leaped over a barbed-wire fence and ran to the cottage, where he found Chinaman employed by Tim Carroll had already arrived and was fighting the flames that covered the floor and wall near the store and threatened to consume the building. Doyle and his men and the neighbors succeeded in putting out the flames upon the boy's clothing, the garments being well-nigh consumed, and the lad was put to bed. Mr. Bauer had been called from the store, and on arriving and ascertaining the distressing state of affairs, ran to the S.P. depot and telephoned up town for Dr. Blackford The Doctor repaired at once to the household, but found the little fellow was past all mortal assistance. The neck, shoulders, body and thighs had been baked. The doctor administered an anaesthetic to ease the boy's pain, and attended to the burns as best he could. The Doctor was called again shortly before 7, but when he arrived he found the boy dead. The neighbors showed the stricken family every kindness, and assisted in making last hours of the unfortunate lad as comfortable as possible. On Sunday morning they brought bouquets and the casket was covered with the floral offerings. On the front door white crape depended signifying that death had invaded the home. The little brothers and the sister of the dead child stood about the casket with sorrowful mien. One of the little boys who was near the stove at the time of the explosion, had his clothes partly burned by the oil. The funeral occurred Sunday afternoon from the Catholic church services being conducted by Rev. Father Bannon. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Mr. Bauer has been nursed by a singular train of misfortunes since coming to Anaheim a year ago. April 28th last his wife died of consumption, and June 3d his store was destroyed by fire. He remarried and rebuilt his store, when death again invades his household. He has sympathy of a wide tempting to light the fire in the kitchen stove with kerosene on Saturday afternoon about 2 o'clock that death supervened at 7 o'clock in the evening. He was burned about the neck, shoulders, arms, breast and abdomen. The legs were also burned, parts of the trunk being almost baked.

Upwards of 100 citizens of Westminster Fourth—The specifications provide for, in back filling, that after the pipe has been laid the trench shall be filled with selected material free from stones, etc., and said back filling shall be rammed under and around the pipe with suitable rammers, and to a level of six inches above the top of pipe. The remainder of the back filling shall be made with material excavated in layers of not more than twelve inches in depth. Each layer must be thoroughly tamped with hand rammers weighing not less than twenty pounds and being not more than six inches in diameter at the lower or tamping end. In refilling and tamping the earth in the trenches there shall not be more than two shovelers to one rammer. I find that the back filling, instead of being done as prescribed, was done by hauling the earth up to the trench with team and seraper, and then dumped into the trench and not rammed. Fifth—The specifications provide for the setting of the fire hydrants on a foundation of cement concrete, eighteen inches wide and six inches thick. I find that these concrete foundations were not made according to specifications, but were taken from slabs of old sidewalk of irregular size and shape. Sixth—The specifications provide for the constructing and excavating of a circular pump pit at the pumping station, to be of a concrete shell for floor and side walls, the pit to be excavated twenty-eight feet deep, with a diameter of twenty feet. After the pit is excavated to the proper dimensions it shall be lined with a solid cement wall and floor one foot in thickness, the wall to extend one foot above the ground at pumping station. While not being personally instructed to supervise the construction of this part of the works, I was in a position to follow the putting in of the pit from day to day. After the pit had been excavated to a certain depth the construction of the concrete wall was commenced and built upon a structure supposed to be a shoe, which was constructed of three pieces of 2x12-inch planks, nailed together flatwise. After the wall had been built up to about sixteen feet the work of sinking the structure was begun by excavating from under this shoe, which was too weak to stand the strain; consequently the concrete wall cracked in several places from top to bottom. After the side walls had reached a certain depth the floor was constructed. After the first layer had been placed in position it was found that the concrete was so porous that it was very difficult to keep the water out; so there were several layers more put in. To make the side walls good, and to put them in shape to be accepted, the contractors concluded to put in a four-inch lining of concrete, which was done, and which at the present time makes the inside dimensions of the dead child stood about the casket with sorrowful mien. One of the little boys who was near the stove at the time of the explosion, had his clothes partly burned by the oil. The funeral occurred Sunday afternoon from the Catholic church, services being conducted by Rev. Father Bannon. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Mr. Bauer has been nursed by a singular train of misfortunes since coming to Anaheim a year ago. April 28th last his wife died of consumption, and June 3d his store was destroyed by fire. He remarried and rebuilt his store, when death again invades his household. He has the sympathy of a wide circle of friends in his misfortune. NEFF-BEAM, Marriage of Our Fellow-Townsman to an Oakland Lady. A very charming wedding occurred at the beautiful and spacious residence of the bride's parents in East Oakland, Cal., Sept. 16, 1897, when Mr. J. B. Neff of Anaheim, Cal., was married to Miss Mary Rosamond Beam, Rev. E. B. Spaulding of St. John's Episcopal church, San Francisco, officiating. Loving hands had beautifully decorated the mansion, wax candles and fairy tapers peeping from among masses of beautiful flowers and vines. The exterior was illuminated with Chinese lanterns, the whole forming a picture of unusual brilliancy. The numerous friends of the family were received by Mrs. John Allan Park, sister of the bride. The bride was gowned in ivory satin, profusely trimmed with point lace, the costume being completed by a white veil and orange blossoms. Miss Katherine Stevens, of San Francisco, was bridesmaid, and Mr. Roy Ebey, of Bellingham Bay, Wash., acted as best man. Miss Anna Clark of San Francisco, rendered "Mendelssohn's Wedding March," and as the bridal party took its stand beneath a floral canopy in the back parlor, a most graceful picture was formed. An elaborate supper was served in the large rooms comprising the library and museum on the left of the reception hall. In the dining room the wedding gifts were displayed, which were both numerous and costly. Mr. and Mrs. Neff started East Friday morning. They will visit the principal Eastern cities and will be gone about two months. A greater portion of the time will be spent in Ohio, where Mr. Neff's parents have long been honored and respected. On their return they will reside on Mr. Neff's place near Anaheim. School began on Monday with 343 pupils in nine departments of the district. At the city school the number of pupils enrolled in the different rooms is as follows: Prof. Little (Miss Roberts, Assistant), 59; Miss Kerlin, 58; Mrs. Horr, 45; Miss Rector, 29; Miss Darby, 26; total, 217.

Upwards of 100 citizens of Westminster and elsewhere have protested to the Supervisors against being included in the proposed “protection district,” and Oct. 11 has been set as the date for the hearing of the petition. These of tax payers included in the district whom we have seen are very emphatic in expressing their desire to fight against being taken in. The newly elected Board of Directors of the Anaheim Fruit Association organized on Saturday, and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: W. J. Fay, President; M. L. Rogers, Vice-President; C. G. McKinley, Secretary; H. Cahen, Treasurer; Theo Rimpau, O.F. Heald, J. P. Zeyn, Finance Committee.

Oberlander, a young man temporarily sojourning in this city, has the distinction of having made the trip from San Francisco to Dawson, the Klondike mining town in one day less than three months. His visit was made before he rush to the gold fields, and while on his journey he corresponded for the San Francisco Examiner. Coming down the Chilcoot pass a year or so ago he was the victim of a snowslide in which he lost his outfit and was buried under banks of snow for 42 hours. He was rescued more dead than alive by the Chilcoot Indians, and after a lengthy period of medical attention was enabled to make his way into civilization. Mr. Oberlander has been in town some days and is firm in his resolve to try his fortune again in the north. He is well acquainted with the country, having spent four years in the region. He does not believe Charley Rogers will be able to reach Dawson this winter. Invitations are out for a party to be given by the ladies' guild at the St. George at Fullerton on Wednesday, Sept. 29.

He is in receipt of a circular letter from Washington asking his advice as to the propriety of continuing the free distribution of seeds by the Government.
