THE LOCAL NEWS. Application for a Saloon License Denied. Dominick Lieb Would Open a Gilded Palace of Sin in Kroeger’s Block, but the Burgomelsters Say Him Nay—Official Condemnation of the Engine Installed at the Power House—Supervisor Potter Expects to Begin County Road Sprinkling To-day — The Two Men Found Drowned in New River Identified—Br. Cargill the Maddest Man in Town—Charley Federman gets His Leg Pulled—Three New Doctors Come to Town—Lost Boy—Sporting Element—Uncle John of Rhine Bavaria. At the meeting of the Board of City Trustees on Tuesday evening E. C. Sharpe, the supervising engineer of the electric light works now being installed here, submitted the following report: LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27, 1897. To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim. Gentlemen:—I submit herewith my report as to the present condition of the electric light plant being constructed for the city by the Wybro & Lawrence Co. The boiler, I find, complies with the specifications; is well constructed and set up in a good and workmanlike manner. As yet no rope has been supplied for use on pulley block on smoke stack. Have notified contractors to furnish same. Am unable to report fully on the piping at the present time, owing to the fact that the engine has not been operated a sufficient length of time to show any defect, if there are such. The valves used are of Crane manufacture; specifications call for Kennedy, or equally as good; I consider the Crane valve to be equally as good as the Kennedy. Boiler feed pumps not satisfactory as yet. The vertical oil pump, such as called for in specifications is not satisfactory to me, and in my opinion this style of pump is not suitable. Have examined vertical oil pumps in use in Los Angeles and found the same defects in them as I found in the pump now installed in the city plant. In my opinion a duplex pump is the proper kind for the work. In regard to the pressure gauge on the system, Mr. Melrose hired a buggy at once. SHOT OFF HIS HAND. The Distressing Accident that Befell A. M. Williams on Friday Afternoon. On Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock, while hunting in the Puente hills some eight miles north of this city, A. M. Williams experienced the deplorable misfortune of accidentally shooting through the palm of his right hand. Only the fingers remained hanging, the palm being torn and lacerated in a frightful manner. Williams had driven to the Puente in company of Dr. Bickford to attend to some life insurance matters. They drove up in Dr. Bickford’s buggy, leaving town at about 1 o’clock. After driving an hour and a half, they arrived at the home of John Jacob Gallman, living a mile to the north of the Puente wells, he being the gentleman upon whom the insurance was to be placed. While Dr. Bickford was examining Gallman, Williams took his gun and sauntered out into the hills to kill some qualls for Miss Lee, she having expressed a desire for them. He had been gone some time and had shot one, and later had wounded another, and was in pursuit of it when he fell. The gun was discharged, the charge penetrating the right palm. He was carrying the gun in the left hand, and in falling had stretched out his right hand to break the fall, and the firearm was so placed that when the hand reached the ground its contents passed through the palm as stated. Williams’ outcry startled the men in the house, not very far away, and his repeated calls impressed them that an accident had happened. “That man has shot himself,” said Dr. Bickford, and both hastened around the base of the hill in the direction of the shooting. They met Williams returning to the house, holding his right wrist with his left hand, and evidently in great pain. Dr. Bickford dressed the wound as best he could with the appliances at hand, making splints out of a shingle, and administering stimulants. A lady driving by in a buggy, going to the oil wells, was apprised of the accident and requested to telephone Mr. Melrose of this city of the accident and request him to meet Williams at Fullerton in time to catch the evening north-bound train for Los Angeles, where the wounded man expressed a desire to go for medical attendance. Mr. Melrose hired a buggy at once Hleinigkeiten. —This is the peanut gathering season. —The Santa Fe depot is being treated to a new coat of paint. —Charley Hille has accepted a position at Herr Ruhman’s establishment. —Fred Crist has administered a new coat of paint to his tailoring establishment. —A. N. L.—We do not keep rejected communications. Your paper has been destroyed. —The photographic outfit which has been camping in the Planters’ park for some weeks past pulled its freight for Los Angeles early on Monday morning. —Herman Stern has docketed judgment with the County Clerk against Andrew Bekker, living some seven miles west of Anaheim, in the amount of $213 22. —Charley Federman’s store will be closed on Wednesday next, the 6th day of Jewish Day of Atonement. This is the Jewish fast day. The store will open at 6:30 p.m. —H. A. McWilliams has had a force of carpenters at work enlarging their power-house so as to enclose and cover the new pump pit. The addition is of frame construction with a corrugate iron roof. —Fred Backs and Tommy Dietrich have painted and repapered the building formerly occupied as an office of the co-operative beet sugar company. The premises will be occupied as a tonsorial establishment by Prof. Fox. —A. H. Hansen returned from mines in San Diego county yesterday bringing with him such good reports that the party of prospectors with whom he is associated have determined to start for the mines early next week Ed Morgan and Mr. Hansen will probably be the first to make the trip. —Constable Bittner and Deputy Sheriff Holgate of Norwalk went to Newport on Monday and arrested Geo W. Heiner on a charge of misdemeanor Heiner hired a gang of men to top beets and after collecting the money due them failed to pay them. He was taken to Norwalk for trial. —The fire boys had the fire apparatus out on Saturday evening testing the hydrants in the outer city limits High pressure was applied to the pumps and a splendid stream was show any defect, if there are such. The valves used are of Crane manufacture; specifications call for Kennedy, or equally as good; I consider the Crane valve to be equally as good as the Kennedy. Boiler feed pumps not satisfactory as yet. The vertical oil pump, such as called for in specifications is not satisfactory to me, and in my opinion this style of pump is not suitable. Have examined vertical oil pumps in use in Los Angeles and found the same defects in them as I found in the pump now installed in the city plant. In my opinion a duplex pump is the proper kind for the work. In regard to the pressure gauge on oil stand pipe, will state that specifications do not call for such a gauge, and that the same be furnished by the city. The engine is not satisfactory, and does not comply with the specifications, a 54 inch shaft being used in place of a 6 inch shaft, as specified. The engine is apparently strong and would probably do the work. The Fischer engine is giving satisfaction in other places; see no reason why one cannot be furnished that would be satisfactory here. Have been assured that they are working satisfactorily in Chicago; that is engine as shown in catalogue. The foundations are satisfactory, no defects having been shown as yet. They were built according to plans submitted by the builders and approved by me. The cause of delay so far has been on account of trouble with the dynamo. A mistake was made in the exciter and exciting coil; as they have now been replaced I look for no more trouble from that source. There has also been trouble with the bearings heating, and new sleeves have been supplied and are now being tried. A 14 or 15 inch paper pulley on the dynamo will work satisfactorily, as also would a 15 inch iron pulley. Smaller pulleys than the above are being used on the same sized dynamos, and are pulling the load without trouble. Nothing can be said about the switch board at the present time. Have checked up the transformers and find the proper number, except two light arc transformers, in which new coils are being placed. The arc lamps are in use and giving satisfaction except that several coils have been burned out. I find that the voltage is too high, the lamps are not properly cleaned when trimmed. If this is attended to, I believe there will be no more trouble with the coils. The pole line has been constructed according to specifications. Several joints have been left unsoldered. Have instructed the contractor to attend to the matter. Respectfully submitted, E.C.SHARPE, Supervising Engineer. The report was ordered filed, and on motion of Trustee Groat, Mr. Sharpe was instructed to notify Wybro & Lawrence to complete the works immediately according to the specifications. On motion of Trustee Helmsen the dynamo pulley was ordered to be 15 inches, and the pulleys on the engine 72 inches, paper pulleys to be used in each case. The board was called to order at 8:30, and in the absence of Trustee Rust, Trustee Lewis occupied the chair. There were present Trustees Lewis, Helmsen and Groat. Clerk Nebelung read the minutes of the last regular and the two special meetings, which after correction were approved. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the purchase of necessary supplies for the power house. Two bills presented by Herman Ben- They met Williams returning to the house, holding his right wrist with his left hand, and evidently in great pain. Dr. Bickford dressed the wound as best he could with the appliances at hand, making splints out of a shingle, and administering stimulants. A lady driving by in a buggy, going to the oil wells, was apprised of the accident and requested to telephone Mr. Melrose of this city of the accident and request him to meet Williams at Fullerton in time to catch the evening north-bound train for Los Angeles, where the wounded man expressed a desire to go for medical attendance. Mr. Melrose hired a buggy at once and drove to Fullerton, where Dr. Bickford and Williams had just arrived, and at 1:15 both gentlemen boarded the train for Los Angeles, Dr. Bickford returning to his home in this city. Mr. Melrose returned from Los Angeles on Saturday morning, bringing the intelligence that Williams' right hand had been amputated above the wrist. The operation was performed at the Good Samaritan hospital by Dr. Wills, assisted by Drs. Shorb and Barlow, eight nurses being in attendance. It was 9 o'clock at night before the operation began. Dr. Wills was found after a roundabout search, the two gentlemen being directed first to the college building on Buena Vista street. No one was present, the building being in darkness. Then they went to the Doctor's office in the Wilcox block, where the Doctor was called up by telephone. On arriving and investigating the case, Dr. Wills conducted both gentlemen to the Good Samaritan hospital, where the operation was performed. The operation consumed an hour and a half in time. It was six hours from the time of the accident. Dr. Wills pronounced Williams the nerviest man he ever saw. It will be a week before Williams will be able to return to his home in this city. At last accounts Williams was resting easily and the prospects were good for his early return home. His unfortunate experience is deplored by his wide circle of friends hereabout. Williams carried an accident insurance policy of $5000, and in the loss of his hand will receive $2500. He is also in receipt of a sick benefit amounting to $31 per week while under the doctor's care. Charley Federman was defrauded in the amount of $19 25, by cashing a raised check in that amount, on Saturday, the 18th inst., it being returned dishonored from the Farmers & Merchants' bank in Los Angeles on Saturday last. The check had been originally drawn by the Alamitos sugar company in favor of F. Sadelius in the sum of $175 for one day's washing of beets. Sadelius cashed it at an Alamitos bakery, and when the check was presented at Federman's by a third party it had been raised from "1 day's washing of beets" to "11 days" of the same work. The letter "O" in the number "One" written in the line to designate the amount of the check, had been cleverly erased, the letters "NI" inserted in its place, and the "teen" added, making an easy change from "One" to "Nineteen!" dollars. The Alamitos baker asserts he disposed of the check to a third party at an advance of ten cents, the latter evidently observing (being probably an expert at the business) that the check was an easy one to raise. This person brought the check to Federman's store and after making a number of purchases tendered it in payment of the same. A cursory inspection showed that it was apparently around the base of the hill in the direction of the shooting. They met Williams returning to the house, holding his right wrist with his left hand, and evidently in great pain. Dr. Bickford dressed the wound as best he could with the appliances at hand, making splints out of a shingle, and administering stimulants.

The board was called to order at 8:30, and in the absence of Trustee Rust, Trustee Lewis occupied the chair. There were present Trustees Lewis, Helmsen and Groat. Clerk Nebelung read the minutes of the last regular and the two special meetings, which after correction were approved. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the purchase of necessary supplies for the power house. Two bills presented by Herman Bennerscheidt, each in the amount of $6 75, one for labor on water works and exposing leaks in the water mains, and the other for cleaning trees and filling hydrants, were after discussion allowed. The board was of opinion that the charge of $6 75 for labor on water works should be charged to the City Engineer, but after discussion the amount was allowed and a warrant in the sum of $13 50 ordered drawn in payment of both bills. Trustee Groat of the Committee on Public Improvements reported progress upon the work of the extension of the power house to cover the new well pit. The Clerk read the report of the Santa Ana abstract company relative to the nature of the deed made by Hammel & Denker and Mrs. Koll to lot 9, block G, in Vineyard lot D 3, conveying the lot to the city, the same be used for a drinking fountain and watering trough. The abstract company reported that the deed had been made, in 1881, without condition or reservation. The city could therefore sell it if it chose. The Clerk reported that in conversation with Dr. Bickford, who some weeks ago manifested a desire to purchase the lot, that gentleman had stated that at present he was not in position to purchase it. However if the city advertised the lot for sale, he would put in a bid for it, and if the same were accepted, he would then take it. The Clerk read the quarterly report of the inspection of the boilers at the power house, showing the works to be in good condition, and the engine and boilers well kept. An application was received from Dominick Lieb, asking that he be granted a license to conduct a saloon in the premises in Kroeger's block some time ago vacated by Dick Callahan. On motion of Trustee Helmsen, seconded by Trustee Groat, the application was denied. The German school which was conducted last term by Prof. F. Reiser will be reopened next week, Saturday, Oct. 9th, at Turner Hall at 2 p.m. Notice All persons knowing themselves to be indebted to the late Dr. Chas. E.

The Alamitos baker asserts he disposed of the check to a third party at an advance of ten cents, the latter evidently observing (being probably an expert at the business) that the check was an easy one to raise. This person brought the check to Federman's store and after making a number of purchases tendered it in payment of the same. A cursory inspection showed that it was apparently all right and it was cashed. On Saturday last it was returned from the Farmers & Merchants' bank of Los Angeles marked "returned unpaid." A short letter from Cashier Fleishman explained the nature of the difficulty, and the case was given to the officers. Constable Bittner went out and brought Sadellus in, but as he proved to the satisfaction of Judge Pierce that he had no hand in raising the check, he was discharged. The officers are on the lookout for the guilty party. A rumor prevails that another raised check has been cashed in town. BUENA PARK. Miss Bixby, formerly of Tacoma, Washington, has been a visitor at Mr. Charles Bixby's. Monday Mrs. C. F. Bixby went to Ventura, taking her little daughter Nellie. September 20th Mrs. Ralph Haigh reopened her primary school in the C. E. room of the Congregational church. Friday the L. M. A. S. met with Mrs. A. W. Whitaker. A very social afternoon with program. Action was taken towards building a parsonage. A meeting was called for Thursday evening at the church. The L. M. A. S is a very active society and will doubtless carry out their desires, with the co-operation of the citizens of this vicinity. The Modini-Wood concert, which was to have been given in October, will be postponed one month, on account of the dusty condition of our roads. This will be a great treat. Notice will be given in the paper in due time for every body to come. "Gov." Whitaker is about again. One misses his genial face from among us when illness overtakes him. Mrs. H. C. Archibald has returned from a visit at Judge Hendricks in Los Angeles. On Sunday, Oct. 3d, in St. Michael's church, at eleven a.m., there will be a celebration of the Holy Communion, the Rev. Mr. Dyer of Pasadena officiating, assisted by the minister in charge, Rev. W. S. Deering; offervory solo by Miss Edith Fay. At ten will be the first session of the Sunday school after the summer vacation. The bi-monthly service at Placentia will not be resumed at present. —Report comes up from Alamito that an old man named Hugh McDonald, aged 55 years, was arrested for attempting to commit rape upon Mrs. Geo. E. Russell. The woman's husband works in the sugar factory, and had reported for duty at 6 o'clock one morning, a week or so ago, when some two hours later, the village butcher, entering the Russell household, espied McDonald in the felonious attempt referred to. Mrs. Russell's clothing is said to have been well-nigh torn from her person in her struggles to escape her impending fate, and only the opportune arrival of the butcher saved her from great bodily injury. McDonald was arrested, but was discharged at his hearing before Judge McCoy of Westminster a day or two later. —P. Botello of Los Angeles and Lorenzo Hinera of Wilmington were in town on Thursday in search of evidence to establish the identity of the two men found drowned in New River in May, whom they discovered on inspection of the clothing in possession of Coroner Clark to be their relatives. It will be recalled that the body of the first was found on May 2d, and after an inquiry by the Coroner she remained were interred as an unknown by Jos Backs the same day. On May 25th she body of another man was found in the river, and after the usual inquiry by the Coroner was interred as an unknown by Ferd Backs. In the hat one of the drowned men was a hat band with the name of Fred Cline. The following note from Coroner Clark will tell the rest of the story; The clothing found on the bank of New river last May has been identified as that belonging to two Mexican boys aged about 16 or 18 years. The description of the boys answers very closely to that of two bodies that were found about three-quarters of a mile below where the clothes were lying. The boys were cousins. One of them, Fred Cline, lived on Maple avenue, Los Angeles, Cal., other was step-son of Lorenzo Hinera of Wilmington. They had not been heard from since April, and P. Botello and Lorenzo Hinera started to look for them and learned of the finding of these two bodies at Los Alamitos last May. They proceeded to Coroner Clark's residence in Fullerton and there identified the clothing. The boys were in search of work, and had essayed to cross New river by wading. One sam-in a hole in the river and in endeavoring to rescue him from drowning thereto also lost his life. Their bodies were discovered three weeks apart. **Mleinigkeiten.** This is the peanut gathering season. Santa Fe depot is being treated new coat of paint.

Nothing has been heard from Charley Rogers who left for the Klondike on the steamer North Fork, sailing from San Francisco on Aug. 18th, via St. Michael. It is confidently surmised that the vessel has arrived at St. Michael in safety, the voyage requiring only a fortnight, and a vessel is looked to arrive from the North at any day bringing word from him, and that prospects are good for him to return with a couple of tons of gold. The Pinkham-McKevitt Company incorporated Thursday in Los Angeles, with a capital stock of $100,000, all of which has been subscribed. The directors are E. T. Pinkham, F. B. McKevitt of Vacaville; T. Morehouse, Los Angeles; J. B. Hartwell, East Riverside; and G. B. Key, Fullerton. The purpose of the corporation is to conduct a general brokerage and commission business in deciduous and citrus fruits, vegetables, nuts and packing materials. Madden & Reyard, the contractors having in charge the erection of the addition to the schoolhouses in town and West Anaheim, have the former structure well under way, the frame of the building having been up on Saturday, when the first payment of $1075 25 was made them. The work has since then been actively prosecuted by a force of eight carpenters, and the walls and flooring have been completed, and shingling the roof will begin Monday. The structure when finished will be one of the most imposing in the county, its dimensions being 70x130 feet. The contractors have also the addition to the West school well under way, the frame being up, and a force of three carpenters are pushing the work ahead as rapidly as possible. A lost boy, aged about 4, was brought up on the street-car by Aug. Menzel on Monday morning, he having encountered the little fellow wandering about aimlessly at the Southern Pacific depot. He was turned over to Marshal Steadman, who purchased a bag of candy for him, it being quite impossible between his sobs to understand his story of the whereabouts of his mamma, or the place of his residence. The little fellow gave his name as Burton, and several kind-hearted gentlemen attempted to coax him into quieting himself long enough to tell who he was, or where he lived. Finally Jim Gates drove up in search of him, and before it takes to tell it the lad climbed into the wagon, with a neck hold on the bag of candy. Gates stated the little fellow's name.

T.J.House came in from Northam station Monday evening to attend the debate at the Christian church between Revs.Waggoner and Thurston. Mr.House is still compelled to walk on crutches, not having recovered from the accident he sustained in November last, when as he was alighting from a train at Northam the car wheel took off his left heel. He was near four months in the hospital, but has long since resumed his duties as station agent at Northam. Mr.House is an ardent liberalist in his religious views, and being a man of wide information and a thinker, takes great interest in the discussion of religious matters. He returned to his home on yesterday morning's train. William Schwenckert is nursing an injured index finger on the right hand which he hurt while cleaning his bicycle on Sunday. William does not believe in working on the Sabbath, but thought he would improve the shining hour by cleaning up his wheel on that day, this being the busy wine-making season. He was getting along nicely and had the wheel spinning around at about the height of its velocity, olling it up and wining it off, when his finger was caught in the rear ooga. The nail was torn from the roots outward, and the finger was otherwise badly mashed. He dressed the wound, but on Tuesday had to come to see Dr.Bickford to have it attended by a more experienced hand. Uncle John Hust is back upon the engine of the Alamitos train after a short lay-off. Uncle John came up town the other afternoon to get the mail and have a ride on the street car. He informed our reporter that the casting of the rock into the breakwater at San Pedro ought to enliven matters in Southern California this winter. He wished the Alamitos branch line were constructed over to Long Beach so that he would have a couple of cars full of people to pull over the line every trip. Uncle John remembers the launching of the ship Three Brothers, owned by old Cornellius Vanderbilt, at Pier 4 West river, New York, in 1857. That was a long time ago. He had just arrived from the old country, and will never forget the prospects for a brilliant fall Angeles, from Oct. 14th to were never brighter.

Mcwas arrested, but was dischargenearing before Judge McCoy inster a day or two later. The maddest man in the county on Monday afternoon was our friend Cargill of Brookshurst, who was easily the most irate individual we ever saw in many's the long day. Mr. Cargill is President of the Farmers' Club and as such had taken an active interest in preparing for the farmers' picnic scheduled for Santiago canyon on that day. At the preceding club meeting he announced that he would have Mr. Naftzer of Los Angeles down to address the farmers upon the co-operative exchange and kindred topics. True to his word (for we have never found our Brookshurst friend to go back on his word) when the time for the picnic arrived, Mr. Naftzer was on hand in the canyon, having been driven over by Mr. Derby of Orange, from McPherson station, he having come down from Los Angeles on the morning train. Nearly every member of the club had promised to be present at the picnic and bring his friends along, and it was expected that hundreds of farmers would-be present and participate in the festivities of the occasion. When Mr. Cargill arrived at the canyon, driving up in a carriage with two lady friends, he was therefore greatly surprised to see that the crowd had not come. As the hours wore on and the crowd came not, the idea of having a large picnic was given up, and at noon the ladies and gentlemen present sat down to what was probably the daintiest lunch ever spread in the canyon. The day was passed very pleasantly under the umbrageous monarchs of the grand old forest, but when the President of the club returned to town in the afternoon, a more irate gentleman never existed. His disquietude of mind ought to be participated in by every member of the club, for the affront tendered the guest of the day. We hope the members of the club will make amends in future by attending the meetings of the club and going to the picnics when they say they will. An apology is due Mr. Naftzer, The Ladies' Aid of the Presbyterian church will give a dime sociable at the dining-room of the Del Campo on Thursday, Oct. 7th. A program is being prepared and the ladies will also serve ice cream and cake. A general invitation is extended to all to attend. short lay-off.

Eddy arrived on Monday afternoon from Wessington Springs, South Dakota, and has determined to locate permanently and practice the profession of medicine here. He has in view the purchase of Dr. Lee property. Dr. Eddy over from Orange in company of Dr. Royer, having continued on the train on Monday morning as far as Orange to meet with his old-time friend, whom he had not seen in several years. The Doctor has already met with many of our people and has been extended a cordial welcome into the community. He brings with him the best of credentials, is a very pleasant mannered gentleman and we have no doubt will do well in the community. Dr. Eddy was Corner of his county in South Dakota, physician to the county hospital, superintendent of the public health of the county, and examining surgeon of the M.W.A., Equitable and New York life insurance companies. His family of wife, child and father will probably arrive in the course of a few weeks. Knights' Templar Conclave At Los Angeles, Oct. 6th and 9th.
