NONE SO MEEK AS TO DO IT REVERENCE. What Came of the Petition in the Assessment Transfer Burgomeisters Vote Unanimously to Kill the Matter by Laying It Upon the Table—A Numerously Signed Petition Urging that the Work be Performed as at Present In this City—What Stipends City Officials Receive in Other Communities, and What Menial Duties They Have to Perform—Our Officials Not Overpaid, Judged by the Scale Paid Elsewhere—New Crosswalks—Two Vacancies on the School Board—Two Sudden Deaths—Two Boys Walk Forty Miles to See the Snow—The Rainfall—Local Brevities. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. The following petition, signed by N. Hart, Mrs. Metz, H. A. Dickel, H. Cahen, E. B. Merritt, Fritz Ruhmann and 42 other taxpayers, protesting against the transfer of the work of taking the city assessment and the collection of city taxes to the county officers at Santa Ana, was read: To the Honorable the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim. We, the undersigned, citizens and taxpayers of the city of Anaheim, respectfully request that no action be taken by your honorable body, whereby the city of Anaheim would avail itself of the provisions of chapter CLXXXII statute, of the State of California, which would require that all assessments shall be made; and taxes collected, for municipal purposes by the Assessor and Tax Collector of Orange county, and we give therefor the following reasons. 1. We believe that all services performed for and on behalf of the city of Anaheim should be performed by citizens of the city of Anaheim. 2. We believe that the compensation paid for such services will be of more benefit to the citizens of Anaheim by keeping such compensation at home, than by paying the same to parties who have no interest in our welfare. 3. That the saving of expense by making such change would be inadequate to overcome the advantages of having the necessary municipal work for the city of Anaheim performed by our citizens. The Clerk read the following letters from different towns in the State, giving the salaries paid City Marshal and Clerk, as instructed to do at the last meeting, when a petition of taxpayers was presented the board, requesting that the taking of the city assessment percentage; tax collector, assessor and license collector. Clerk's salary, $20 per month; no percentage; general duties. After the reading of the letters, Trustee Helmsen moved that, it appearing that the salaries paid here are not higher than the average paid in other towns, the matter of transferring the taking of the assessment and the collection of the city taxes to the county officials at Santa Ana, as petitioned for at the last meeting, lay upon the table; seconded by Trustee Lewis. Herr Conrad, the especial champion of the projected transfer of the work to Santa Ana, was not present, and Trustee Helmsen's motion carried unanimously. And so the whole business, which had its inception, as charged by the marshal addressing Herr Conrad at the last meeting of the board, in the matter of the non-imbibition of Conrad's beer, went up in smoke. Conrad has latterly hedged on the proposition, all of his beer customers in town—N. Hart, F. Ruhmann, D. Lieb, A. Freise and Mons. Pouchon—having taken advanced ground against him on the transfer of the work to Santa Ana. Marshal Steadman reported the following collection for December: For electric light, $245.85; licenses, $192.75; water, $133.75; total, $572.35; less 5 percent commission for collecting ($28.62); deposited with treasurer, $243.73; delinquents for water, $15.65; for licenses, $5.75; for lights, $1.70; total, $23.10. Treasurer Cahen reported the following funds on hand: General fund, $4,-533.65; electric light fund, $3,-636.53; water works fund, $534.18; improvement fund No. 1, $849.17; total, $9,-553.51. Clerk Nebelung's financial report tallied with the above. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported the examination of the reports of city officials, and the approval of the various demands against the city; also the purchase of a car oil, and other small items for the power house. Trustee Lewis of the Committee on Public Improvements reported the covering of the old well pit at the power-house. The matter of the painting of the roof on the city hall with asphaltum was after discussion agreed to, and the job awarded H. Kuebler at a rate of 1 cent per square foot. Further time was granted the committee in the matter of procuring a fire alarm gong or telephone at the power house. The Clerk reported that he had not heard from the Hussmans relative to moving back their houses on Los Angeles street to the sidewalk line. The Clerk was instructed to write E. C. Sharpe, directing his attention to the faulty construction of the foundation for the new engine at the power-house, and to notify him to confer with the Committee on Public Improvements with a view to substituting for the present makeshift a larger and more substantial foundation.

MAX NEBELUNG. Anaheim, Cal.; Dear Sir:—In replying to yours of the 31st ult. I would say: The county would charge for collecting the city tax the actual cost of same to the several officers who would do the work. For Santa Ana city they have charged $150 until 1897, when, on account of the additional work on account of the 15 per cent reduction, the charge was $160.

A patent of three-quarters of an acre was planted to tobacco on Mr.Barr's place,and photographs taken of the plants when matured showed them to have attained a height of three and a half feet.Since being gathered the tobacco has been undergoing its preliminary curing process and the sample exhibited at this office on Monday by Mr.Barr was of a rich color and a delicate fineness that proved the successful outcome of the experiment of growing tobacco here.The curing seemed to have been nicely done so far,and no doubt an excellent quality of tobacco will be the result.A number of our well-to-citizens may next season plant a twenty-acre patch to tobacco,tothe plants an opportunity of showing which they can do on a larger scale than he attempted this season.

The object is to interest a sufficient number of home-seekers with means necessary to secure one of the many fine tracts of lands that are offered for sale in that country at astonishingly low prices. It will be understood, so Messrs. Spencer and Mickle inform us, that there will be no attempt made by parties here to speculate in these lands, but each one interested will receive his just share in the mutual benefits that should accrue to all. The concert given at the Opera-house on Tuesday evening by the Queen Vocal Quartette was a splendid success and merited a much larger attendance. The audience was small, but made up in appreciation what it lacked in numbers, each appearance of the singers being greeted with enthusiasm and applause. The singing of the quartette numbers was especially fine. The voices sang some difficult numbers but rendered all with an ease that showed careful training. Those who had heard Gertrude Auld Thomas were pleased again to hear her charming voice, while those in the audience who had never listened to her were delighted with her singing. Mrs. Rowan also pleased the audience with her numbers and was very well received. The pianist, Miss Haines, played very acceptably. A gentleman of the name of Bila is causing landholders in and around Santa Ana no inconsiderable uneasiness by laying claim to an undivided interest in the ranchos de Santa Ana and Santiago, two tracts of land that take in a part of the townsite of Santa Ana. Bila claims to have bought the interest of Andrea de Davila, who was Mrs. Andrea de Yorba, widow of Bernardo de Yorba, deceased, in the estate of the deceased, who died in 1859. The estate was never settled and her rights were ignored by the children of the deceased, who have heretofore sold the property without having the estate divided, or making any mention of the widow's interest. Bila has employed counsel at Los Angeles. R.F.Del Valle being one of them. The latter is said to have gone to Mexico to investigate his client's claim. A majority of the land owners are taking no stock in the claim, while others are getting quitclaim titles from him for a small sum. Billa's claim will have a hearing in the Los Angeles Superior Court to-morrow, and the outcome will be watched with interest by many. Three tough youngsters from the celery field, by name George Davis, a paroled Whittier lad; John Culver and Charley Miller, came to town on Saturday evening to attend the Thowsen-Larue dance at Music hall. They succeeded in imbibing a quantity of red liquor and along about 10 o'clock in the evening became somewhat boisterous. Davis seemed to be the leader of the gang. They walked down Center street using foul language, and at Bauer's shoe shop, where Bauer was at work, Davis attempted to strike him, but was prevented by the others from doing so.

Bicyclist McCullom has received a photograph of a family group, taken with a Kodak over in Pennsylvania, which he prizes highly, inasmuch as his mother, who is now in her eighty-first year, forms the center of the group, she being surrounded by several of the members of the family. It is five years since Mac last saw the old lady who brought him up in the straight and narrow path, and he prizes the photograph more than he would a '98 chainless bicycle. One of these fine days he will take a pasear over to the old homestead to see how the old folks are getting along. Joe Gibson and Charley Ramella started out on Monday to see the snow. They went on foot and walked to a point in the hills some ten miles east of Mr. Kirby's place at Peralta, at a point near Rincon, where there was snow in plenty, and where snow-balling could be enjoyed to one's heart's content. After enjoying the experience of being in snow for a while, the boys set out for home, reaching town at 10 o'clock at night, having walked forty miles to see the snow. Joe Gibson is one of the greatest pedestrians here about. He has walked to Pomona frequently, and used to walk down to El Toro once in a while, before purchasing a bicycle. The boys say Joe has a girl at El Toro, but if you say she has red hair you'll have a fight in short order. Joe is a great boy.

Since being the tobacco has been under its preliminary curing process, example exhibited at this office day by Mr. Barr was of a rich and a delicate fineness that pre-requisite successful outcome of the extent of growing tobacco here. Being seemed to have been very none so far, and no doubt an exuality of tobacco will be the one. A number of our well-to-do may next season plant a twenty-tenth to tobacco, to give the then opportunity of showing what we do on a larger scale than has tempted this season. A Casanbon, a native of France, many years, died suddenly at the age of B. Mouliot in Cypress district, at 9 o'clock on Friday night.

They then set out for the ballroom, and at Nemetz's paint shop Davis broke the glass in the front window. The trio were placed under arrest and placed in jail, where they ruminated over the wickedness of their ways during the night. Friends succeeded on Sunday morning in raising $25 ball for the trio, and they were liberated and told to appear in court on Monday morning and answer to charges of disturbing the peace. They failed to appear, and their bail was declared forfeited. Davis is out on parole from Whittier, and should be returned to that reformatory institution. Impressario Hatfield has devised a new scheme for the placing on sale of theatrical tickets, and one which is designed primarily to do away with the selling of the same seats to different parties for one performance. At a performance at the Opera-house some time ago, by a strange oversight, a number of seats were sold to three different parties, and each was present in its turn to claim the seats which the first party arriving was occupying; which all led to needless confusion. The new scheme is nothing more nor less than a board with incisions arranged after the order of the seats in the Opera-house, and in each a ticket will be inserted when the sale of seats begins. A purchaser looking at the ticket board, sees the arrangement of seats for the night's play, and selects seats in whatever row he wishes; the tickets being taken from the ticket board and their incisions left blank thereafter, until after the performance. In this way no duplicates will be issued, and the manager's heart will be happy, especially when several parties having coupons for one seat, he is unable, owing to the crowded condition of the house, to find them seats elsewhere for the night's entertainment! Hatfield informs us it took lots of work to bore the holes and saw out the slits, but thinks he has the boss ticket board. Dell Shaw, a native of New York, aged 28 years, dropped dead in Adam Brandle's saloon at Fullerton at 11:30 o'clock on Sunday morning. Shaw had come to Anaheim some days previously, and in company of Mart Sells of Westminster, had imbibed considerable liquor. He went to Fullerton and continued to drink heavily. When he retired Saturday night he observed that he did not know whether he would wake up in the morning or not. He was troubled with heart disease. Coroner Clark was notified and held an inquiry, the jury finding that death resulted from natural causes. Undertaker F. Backs went to Fullerton and brought the body over, and the remains were interred on Monday morning. The oldest inhabitant would have to scratch his head and think twice before being able to remember a greater fall of snow in the mountains than fell during the storm of Sunday night. The mountain tops are covered, Old Baldy and Mount San Bernardino being suffused in their snowy mantles. The Santiago peaks also showed the effects of the snowy visitation, and patches of snow were discernible low down in the foothills. At Redlands, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ontario snow fell to the depth of an inch or two, and snow is said to have fallen at Yorba to the depth of nearly an inch. Snow also fell on the Olinda ranch. In town hail was the nearest approach to the beautiful, quite a hall storm striking us early on Monday morning. John Woodruff is on trial for embezzlement before a jury in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Woodruff, who is well-known hereabouts, charged with hiring a horse and wagon from a livery stable at Long Beach belonging to George Fetterman, and then selling them. The horse, wagon and harness were afterward recovered in various parts of the country, where they had been sold. The defense tried to prove an alibi and showed by the testimony of several witnesses that Woodruff was in Los Angeles at the time he is alleged to have hired the rig at Long Beach. Asst.-Atty Williams, who is prosecuting the case, attacked the veracity of these witnesses, who are boon companions of Woodruff, and characterized their testimony as evidence manufactured for the occasion. The case will probably be concluded today.
