The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present Trustees Rust, Lewis and Helmsen; absent, Groat and Conrad. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the purchase of a car of oil at 90 cents per barrel. Trustee Lewis of the Committee on Public Improvements reported the purchase of 200 feet of fire hose from the Gutta Percha company of San Francisco. Clerk Nebelung reported in the matter of the moving back of the Hussman houses that he had gone to see the owners, who had refused to do anything until Henry Hussman came down from Los Angeles. Trustee Helmsen, reporting upon the same matter, said that the Hussmans had employed Henry Albrecht to make an estimate upon the cost of moving back the buildings. That gentleman had reported that the expense would probably be $190, whereas the city understood the cost would not exceed $100. Albrecht had figured on some new work, Helmsen said, which he did not believe the city should pay for, and as the owners of the property would not listen to the estimates of another carpenter, he advised that the matter lay over without action temporarily, until such time as an agreement may be entered into with Henry Hussman for the moving of the houses. The committee were thereupon granted further time. THE WATER BOARD. An Office Building to be Erected—Mr. Nicholas Purposes Developing Water at the Springs Near Flume 7. The water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present Directors Fay, Benchley, Browning, Crowther and Nebelung; absent, Key and Amerige. Mr. Crowther of the committee appointed to sectionize the ditch reported progress and asked for further time. Granted. Mr. Fay, reporting on the Basten ditch matter, reported that the pipe had been laid from the new cut to the old canal, and thence to Mr. Basten's property. Mr. Fay also reported upon the propriety of erecting a building for the uses of the company, stating that after making careful estimates, he found the amount necessary to be $1440. This would give the company a meeting room 22x58 on the inside, and a fireproof vault 8x10x8 feet, with double iron doors. He recommended that arrangements be made for its erection. The reports were filed, and the board voted that the recommendations relative to the erection of the building be agreed to. Mr. Fay, reporting upon the alleged nuisance complained of by Mr. Neanno, reported that an inspection of the ditch in which stagnant water was said to have accumulated did not conform to the statement of the complainant. He recommened that an additional gate be put in to stop the leakage into the Nenno ditch—which he understood was a private water way. Adopted and the matter of putting in the gate referred to the Superintendent. Communication of F. Crist asking remuneration in the amount of $6 for covering 225 feet of pipe laid in the ditch at his place on Broadway and Olive streets. To the Ditch Committee.

Nicholas for the renewal of his year's lease to the company's tract of land near Flume 7, at Yorba.

That gentleman had reported that the expense would probably be $190, whereas the city understood the cost would not exceed $100. Albrecht had figured on some new work, Helmsen said, which he did not believe the city should pay for, and as the owners of the property would not listen to the estimates of another carpenter, he advised that the matter lay over without action temporarily, until such time as an agreement may be entered into with Henry Hussman for the moving of the houses. The committee were thereupon granted further time. The itemized bill of J. P. Des Granges for $20 as compensation as supervising engineer of the waterworks was taken up and allowed, but the Clerk was instructed to withhold the warrant until such time as Des Granges returns to the power house such property belonging to the city as he is charged with having hauled away. G. W. Magner of the Rex oil company of Los Angeles addressed the board in reference to entering into a contract with the city for furnishing oil. After discussion the Clerk was authorized to advertise for bids for furnishing 1000 barrels of oil, of not less than 15 gravity, to be delivered in such quantities as the city might desire. The city uses about 10 cars of oil per year, at a cost of from $142 to $145 per car. Marshal Steadman reported that John Hartung had turned over to the city a snare drum for the newly organized band. The same was ordered accepted, and turned over into the custody of the Marshal. Trustee Helmsen brought up the matter of Engineer Byers, who had been working at the power house in place of Mr. Fisher, whose services were engaged some weeks ago. Mr. Byers was giving satisfaction in his place, and as Mr. Fisher gave the city the privilege of retaining his (Byers) services if the board desired, Trustee Helmsen advised that he be retained at the job at $80 per month. Trustee Lewis said that Mr. Byers was a competent electrical engineer and had given satisfaction in his position. The board ordered that he be permanently retained, at a salary of $80 per month, and that Mr. Fisher be notified at Pasadena of the action of the board. Trustee Lewis reported that the otwater pumps were not working satisfactorily, and it was ordered that Tybro & Lawrence be notified to substitute the same with other boiler feed pumps, and have the same in good working order as speedily as possible. The old well pit in the boiler room was ordered boarded over, and the work delegated to the Committee on Public Improvements. A letter was read from Wybro & Lawrence in reference to the unsatisfactory alternator in the Warren dynamo at the power house. They wrote that the alternator had failed to develop the current necessary for the maintenance of the lights, and as it was evident that the California Electric Works could not get the Warren machinery to work well, advised that the Trustees empower them (Wybro & Lawrence) to select another make of dynamo. On motion of Trustee Helmsen, the Clerk was instructed to write Wybro & Lawrence to install a new alternator of the Warren make, as originally called for, and get the same to work as speedily as possible. He charged the inefficiency of the works was not attributable to the alternator, but to the worthless engine installed by them. To night the old-time favorite "Don Caesar de Bazan," and to-morrow night, "Virginia, the Hunchback." Saturday afternoon at 2 the usual matinee will be given, when "Hickory Farm" will be produced, one of the best plays in the company's repertoire. Saturday evening "Ten Nights in a Barroom" will be the farewell per town on Monday evening thieves entered his barnyard at West Anaheim and stole two dozen chickens. A party of campers who camped in the neighbor borhood are suspected. Rain began falling about 5 o'clock yesterday morning, and during the day showers fell. The precipitation was inconsiderable, but was sufficient to create muddy streets and suspend outside work. Painter Nemetz touched up the Landlord's Daylight store with varnish, and the establishment has been cleaned up and presents a brighter aspect. The wave of prosperity has struck the Landlord. The charge of assault with a deadly weapon, brought by John Davis against Dr. J. S. Gardiner, was on motion of District Attorney West, dismissed by Judge Landell on Saturday, and the defendant discharged. The sky was overcast with smoke on Tuesday that came from fires in the hills toward Mount Wilson. The fire was probably 40 miles away, yet the smoke settled over the valley during the greater part of the day. At night the fires in the hills were plainly visible. Jose Romero Aleman of Olive was tried at Santa Ana on a charge of selling liquor without a license, the trial being had before Justice Huntington. The result was a disagreement, the jury standing ten to two for acquittal. This was the second trial for the same offense, with the same result. Oliver Hill in speaking of feathered songsters with a coterie of his friends the other day, surprised his auditors by saying a neighbor of his had an Arizona mocking bird that could easily be heard three miles. Oliver explained the joke and all hands took "some of the same." Roman Wisser has a treat in store for his many friends to-day, and will have the celebrated San Diego Prima beer on tap. This is the extra brew of this well-known brewery, and is undoubtedly the equal of any beer made in the country. Roman will probably have a large call for it to-day. The residents of the West End are incensed at the many petty robberies that have occurred in their neighborhood of late. The thieves are residents of the neighborhood and are known, and a favorable opportunity is awaited to apprehend and punish them. One gentleman informs us he has lost upward of $150 worth of property through the thievery of the gang. Fred Melville, the leader of the Spickett theatreal band, is a well-known San Francisco musician. He is an accomplished cornet player and leads a splendidly equipped band. While members of the local band were practicing at the City Hall an evening or two since, he attended the rehearsal and gave the boys valuable pointers on music, and put the new instruments in shape to get the best service from them. Ed Varner attended the Salvation Army's demonstration on street on Sunday evening and when contributions were called for, to be thrown upon the base drum set endwise in the center of the Salvationists, he contributed a $5 gold piece, taking it to be a nickle, and tossing it at the drum. The coin bounded off into the crowd surrounding the drum, and while the Army folks were looking for it, Varner discovered his mistake. On motion of Trustee Helmsen, the Clerk was instructed to write Wybro & Lawrence to install a new alternator of the Warren make, as originally called for, and get the same to work as speedily as possible. He charged the inefficiency of the works was not attributable to the alternator, but to the worthless engine installed by them. Trustee Lewis said that several parts of the new electrical machinery installed by Wybro & Lawrence were not giving satisfaction, and it was unfortunate that the supervising electrical engineer (Mr. Sharpe) was not on the ground to advise the board concerning them. The new arc lamps are burning out; one burned out on Monday night, and another the night before. It is a matter of continual expense and labor to keep these lamps in order. He thought the fault was with the transformers being of too high voltage, and that suitable transformers should be put in. The oil pumps for supplying oil to the burners at the power-house boilers had failed to work for the past 6 or 8 weeks, and cannot now be made to do duty. After discussion the Clerk was instructed to write Wybro & Lawrence, calling their attention to these matters, and requesting of them that they attend to them at once. A letter was read from E. C. Sharpe, dated Pittsburg, Nov. 15, saying that he had just inspected the new Fischer engine being constructed for use at the power-house in this city, which he found to be working very nicely. The engine, he thought, would be on the way hither at the time of the receipt of the letter. Filed. Bills amounting to $40 32 were audited and ordered paid. The board decided to retain the services of Adolph Schneider as assistant engineer at the power-house at a salary of $60 per month. Adjourned. Turkey Dinner. A fine turkey dinner will be served at the restaurant of the Boston Bakery on Center street to-day. Turkey, cranberry and mince pies. Harry Handy, aged 19, and Miss Lena Horton, aged 16, both residents of Orange, eloped last Wednesday and were married at sea off San Pedro harbor. The elopement was the result of objections to the marriage entertained by Miss Horton's parents. On their return on Monday they applied for and were granted a license to marry, their parents entering no objection, and they were joined in wedlock in the old-fashioned way. The Salvation Army tent was crowded on Sunday afternoon and evening by assemblages gathered to hear Staff Captain Dunham and wife of Los Angeles preach the gospel. Sunday morning Capt. Dunham preached at the Presbyterian church, and his wife at the Methodist. Both are earnest exhorters of the faith that is in them, and their discourses were listened to with interest by large congregations. The Salvation Army has been with us for a month, and eight converts are reported. They will remain during the present month, if not longer. A wave of religious sentiment has attended their efforts to save sinners. This afternoon at 2 a matinee will be given, when the emotional drama "East Lynne" will be produced. This is an ever-popular play, and the company is strong enough to produce it in good shape. There will probably be a crowded house. To-night the old-time favorite "Don Caesar de Bazan," and to-morrow night, "Virginia, the Hunchback." Saturday afternoon at 2 the usual matinee will be given, when "Hickory Farm" will be produced, one of the best plays in the company's repertoire. Saturday evening "Ten Nights in a Barroom" will be the farewell performance of this popular company, and there should be a crowded house. Mr. Spickett will appear in latest songs and specialties. The company is one of the strongest that has played in Anaheim in many a long day, and merits the patronage of the theatre-goling public. The festivities on Saturday evening will terminate with a social hop. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

The coin bounded off into the crowd surrounding the drum, and while the Army folks were looking for it, Varner discovered his mistake. A more scrutinizing search was made for the money when its denomination was known, but it was not recovered. A notice has been posted at the Chino sugar factory ordering beet-growers to assort the beets before delivering them to the factory, throwing out damaged ones. This is due to the fact that the beets are depreciating in value rapidly. They are every day becoming more wilted, and it is being found so difficult to work the wilted beets that the factory work is impeded. It will take until Christmas to complete the run if all the beets are worked, which is by no means certain now. The growers claim that their beets have depreciated 20 per cent in weight since taken from the ground, and this order to assort the beets means that the loss on the farmers will be still heavier if complied with. The farmers are in rebellion against the order, and it is being very generally ignored. The original Nashville Students will appear at the Opera-house on Thursday evening, Dec. 2d. During the many tours of this celebrated company they have attained exceptional success; for, while they were not the first company of Jubilee Singers, their manner of performance was original. They present the negro as he appears in his church, and camp meetings, and also in the songs of the cabin home and of the plantation. Their music is weird, melodious and striking; it enchants an audience sometimes to such an extent it is with difficulty the singers leave the stage at all, on account of recalls. The entire company will appear in a program replete with all the latest jubilee melodies, as well as plantation, river and cabin songs.

At a meeting of the board of directors of the Tustin fruit association last week it was voted to allow any grower who wished to withdraw his walnuts from the association to do so upon assuming his pro rata of the expense incurred in fitting up the warehouse. Growers withdrawing are expected to take their pro rata of the sacks purchased by the association. The directors will continue to use their best efforts to find a satisfactory market for those who remain in the association. The predatory preaceous feline quadruped which was last week reported to have killed 58 small chickens belonging to Fred Rimpau will never miaou again. Fred succeeded in borrowing the shotgun he was looking for at the time of our last week's going to press, and he took a shot at the cat at the first favorable opportunity—the cat having come back to kill the two remaining chicks in the barnyard. After the shot there was nothing left of the cat but its teeth and its nails and the tip of its tail. We hope the cat will never come back again.

Frank Soto, otherwise known as "Chico Soto," sat in Judge Landell's court on Monday afternoon after school was out, while Prof. Little, Miss Kerlin and a number of their pupils endeavored to recognize him as the larconist who on Oct. 1st abstracted Charley Porter's felt hat from the pupils' dressing-room at the city school. The sidewalk in front of the court-room was crowded with school children, who peered in the all but opaque windows at the culprit who sat shamefaced and crestfallen within sight of all. Neither the teachers nor pupils could recognize the young culprit, who was arrest-ed by Constable Bittner on Saturday evening while listening to the Salvation Army on the street. Soto denied being at the school-house on Oct. 1st, which he remembered, he said, was on a Thursday, but which really fell upon Friday. Mr. Soto was conducted back to jail to await his examination on Tuesday, when after hearing evidence the Judge sentenced him to sixty days in the county jail.

J.Gustafson, the Alamitos beet grower, was in town one day last week. He informs us that the season's campaign has been eminently satisfactory to himself and brothers, and that he expects next year to have 250 acres of beets in. This will make a patch a mile long and 3-8th of a mile wide, and Mr.Gustafson thinks the returns will be in the nature of a record breaker. Mrs.Hardin has been quite seriously ill during the week with a threatened attack of pneumonia. It is her purpose, as soon as she recovers sufficiently, to depart for San Francisco in company of her grand-daughter, Miss Wilmott Lawrence, to take up her permanent residence with her daughter, Mrs.Mowry. Mrs.Hardin's many friends will hope for her speedy restoration to health.

Prof.Evans' countenance is possessed of an unusually contented expression and the parents of his eight grade scholars at the West End school carry a correspondingly good-natured expression. The school is in good condition, and the assignment of Mild Darby, giving the school a fourth teacher, has relieved the crowded condition of the school. Hence everybody is happy. Grandpa Ben Snodgrass was in to see us yesterday. He informs us that while turkeys are fashionable for Thanksgiving dinners, he prefers a good fat hen [hear! hear!] and he and his family will sit down to-day to an old-fashioned chicken dinner, and give thanks for many blessings that have been shown upon them during the year.
