NEWS OF THE WEEK. Two Railroad Wrecks Impartially Distributed. Southern Pacific Car Jumps the Track at a Frog—Santa Fe Freight Cars Get Away and Collide With a Passenger Train—Conductor Andrews Gets Six Months in the "Sweat Box" for It—Celebration of Washington's and Lincoln's Birthdays by the Public School Children To-morrow—Late News From the Klondikers—Mr. Thowson Unearths a Monument, Presumably a Part of an Old Base Line—How Mr. Spaulding Recovered His Horse—Brevities. A long-continued whistle from Engineer Lynch's engine on the Santa Fe, at a point immediately west of Fullerton, on Saturday evening at 5:45—so long continued that the attention of many people hereabout was attracted to it—seemed to indicate conclusively that something unusual was happening upon the railroad in that neighborhood. While the south-bound freight train, in charge of Conductor Andrews and Engineer Lynch, was leading freight at Fullerton, a moment before that time, the two rear cars and the caboose, which had been cut out in the switching, started down the track toward the west, acquiring momentum from a slight down-grade at the station, and soon attained a velocity of 35 miles an hour. Conductor Andrews ran into the depot and gave instructions to telegraph the officials at Northam to open the switch and ditch the runaway cars, in order to avert the impending collision with the local passenger train, momentarily expected at that point. The passenger train had just pulled out of Northam, however, and a very serious collision and smashup seemed to be in prospect. Engineer Lynch hurriedly backed his train after the runaway cars, signalling the runaway as he sped after them. He opened wide the throttle and flew after the runaways, in the praiseworthy endeavor to overtake them before the collision with the passenger. Engineer Berger of Conductor Deyo's train beheld the runaway cars shortly after pulling out of Northam. The track observes a bee-line at this point, and it was not yet dark. At first he PATRIOTIC EXERCISES. Lincoln's and Washington's Birthdays to be Celebrated by the School Children To-morrow.

Garden Grove is surely on a boom. Mercereau Bros. have purchased the store, increased their stock and report business much better. They have decided to do a strictly cash business and have marked their goods down to living prices. F. D.

Let it come! It's overdue now. Butcher Fleischmann has built a second story onto his smoke-house. The weather bureau yesterday predicted cloudy weather with high winds from the west. Tim Boege has purchased a lot of Alamitos and will erect a building thereon. An examination of the county books by Auditor Hall the other day showed $85,030 91 in the County Treasury. A shooting gallery has been started in the Kroeger block, and the "petu-lant pop of the pistol" is heard in the land. Fred Crist has received a line of spring goods, which he is ready to make into suits of the latest cut at reasonable prices. The barometer was falling yesterday and the indications were good for rain. Are we to have the long-looked for downpour? The Postoffice has received a consignment of the new issue of postage stamps, which will be on sale as soon as the old ones are disposed of. There was a rumor on the streets yesterday that C. C. Carpenter, one of the newly elected Directors of the water company, would not qualify. A number of business houses in town closed their doors from 11 to 12 o'clock yesterday in deference to the revival meeting at the Methodist Church. Theo. Flotow, one of the oldest citizens of Anaheim, will to-day celebrate his eightieth birthday. He was born in Mecklenberg, Germany, and has resided in the United States 52 years. In 1847 he served as blacksmith in the Mexican War. We have received a quantity of new job type during the week, and more is on the way, and we are better prepared than ever to do printing in the highest style of the art, and at prices as cheap as the cheapest. Herman Dickel has a change in his advertisement, to which the attention of our readers is directed. Herman has one of the best-appointed grocery establishments in Southern California, and has on display an especially tempting stock of Engineer Lynch hurriedly backed his train after the runaway cars, signalling the runaway as he sped after them. He opened wide the throttle and flew after the runaways, in the praiseworthy endeavor to overtake them before the collision with the passenger. Engineer Berger of Conductor Deyo's train beheld the runaway cars shortly after pulling out of Northam. The track observes a bee-line at this point, and it was not yet dark. At first he thought the cars were standing still. He soon discovered that they were runaways, and realizing the great danger that threatened his train, he applied the brakes and reversed his engine. He had barely got his train to a standstill before the runaway cars, three miles west of their starting point, crashed into his engine with great velocity, telescoping the cabose and engine, demolishing the former, and wrecking the latter. Clouds of steam and smoke escaped from the disabled engine. The cabose took fire, but the flames were speedily extinguished. The passengers filed out of the cars in the twilight. Many were disposed at first to censure the engineer for having run, as they thought, needlessly into cars standing upon the track. In the confusion it was not learned that a very serious collision had by the meester margin of good fortune been averted. Not until the freight train came up, its siren screech still awakening the echoes as it sped along, did the passengers realize that to the bravery of the engineer did many of them owe their escape from serious if not fatal injury; for he had not obeyed the ordinary impulse to reverse and jump, in the face of the imminent danger confronting him, but he remained at his post, and had not only reversed his engine, but was upon the point of backing out of harm's way when the collision came upon him. The jar was comparatively slight, and many of the passengers were not at first aware of the cause of the stop. Not a single casualty resulted. Passengers in the smoker of the chair car were first made aware of the accident by the other passengers running out, and the overturned water tank that flooded the floor. When the passengers learned of Engineer Berger's presence of mind and bravery, his praises were in everybody's mouth. Many of the passengers got aboard the freight train and were taken to Fullerton, where instructions were wired the Riverside train, which was waiting at Orange, to come up and carry the passengers home. A few minutes later the Riverside train passed through town going north, on its way to the scene of the collision. It gathered up the passengers and returned in about half an hour. Among the Anaheimers aboard the train were Richard Melrose, George Dunn, Gus Langenberger and Miss Mabel Langenberger. No one was hurt. The track was cleared during the night and trains were running as usual early the next morning. Conductor Andrews has been suspended from duty for a period of six months. WRECK ON THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC. As the 6 o'clock Southern Pacific passenger train, bound south, was pulling out from the depot on Thursday evening, a man came running up flagging the train, and saying that several cars of the freight train had just jumped the track at the "frog" a short distance down the line, and Engineer Faust brought the passenger to a sud- EDITORIAL NOTICE — Not seeing any items in your valuable paper from this vicinity for a long time.

They were at Los Angeles on Thursday and purchased a stock of goods. Mr. Starkey of near Bolsa has rented a building and will open up a harness and repair shop, which is much needed. Garden Grove can also boast of a barber-shop in the post-office, run by J. K. Grigsby. He invites his friends to call. Judge McKelvey's court was occupied on Tuesday in hearing the case of C. M. Holmes of Santa Ana. He was bound over to the Superior Court in the sum of five hundred dollars. J. C. Capen's horse became frightened as he was coming home from the Peat Lands one day last week, and threw him out. He was pretty badly bruised, but fortunately no bones were broken. Fred Johnson had the misfortune to get his arm badly wrenched while playing on the school grounds one day last week. While J. N. Devault was waiting at the S. P. depot for some friends to come in on the train his horse got frightened and broke from the buggy, and by some means struck him on the shoulder, causing him to be confined to his house for some days. W. J. Richardson and Jas. Eells have both sold their places. Mr. Richardson intends moving to Long Beach, and Mr. Eells to San Diego where they will reside in the future.

He will build a new barn, also a large porch to the house, and will put in some fourteen hundred feet WRECK ON THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC. As the 6 o'clock Southern Pacific passenger train, bound south, was pulling out from the depot on Thursday evening, a man came running up flagging the train, and saying that several cars of the freight train had just jumped the track at the "frog" a short distance down the line, and Engineer Faust brought the passenger to a sudden standstill. The north-bound freight, due at 5:37, was heading on to the switch with some 35 cars, to permit the passenger to pass, when the wheels of the fourth car, which was loaded with celery bound East, jumped the track at the frog, taking the car behind it off the track and leaving the caboose and a string of about 30 cars obstructing the main line. The truck of the celery car was badly damaged and the track was torn up for some little distance. Passengers for Orange and Santa Ana, seeing that the wreck would detain them for some time, came up town and procuring rigs drove home. At 9 o'clock the wrecking train, in charge of Conductor Sharp and Engineer Lewis, pulled in from Los Angeles and went to work to clear the track. At 9:20 o'clock the track was cleared, and the passenger, in charge of Conductor Van Vranken and Engineer Faust, pulled out south, and ten minutes later the freight, in charge of Conductor Shorb and Engineer Bruner, pulled out for the north. The wrecking crew worked until 3 o'clock on Friday morning before the ditched cars were jacked up and placed on spare trucks and the track temporarily repaired. Richard Honeck, Agent Darling's assistant, was at that hour awakened, and asked for orders. He telegraphed to Los Angeles for them, and on their receipt the wrecker pulled out for that city. On Friday Section Boss Doyle and a gang of men repaired the track and things are now going along as though nothing had happened. Card of Thanks. Having disposed of my interests in the St. Louis barber shop to O. S. Davis, recently of Fresno, and contemplating removing from this vicinity, I take this means of thanking the people of Anaheim and vicinity for their liberal patronage bestowed upon me in the past, and solicit a continuance of the same for my successor in the future. Not being able to meet all my friends personally, I take this means of bidding them good-bye. Respectfully, FRANK BAUM. PLACENTIA ITEMS. Dr. Clark, who recently arrived from Canada, has located at Santa Ana. Mrs. Chas. Wagner has gone to Colorado to see her mother, who is sick. Wm. McFadden leaves shortly for Mexico, probably in about two weeks. Gerald Sandilands is having his home fixed up. He will build a new barn, also a large porch to the house, and will put in some fourteen hundred feet of flume to irrigate with. Mr. Montgomery has sold his place to Mr. Laidlaw. Samuel Kraemer is planting out a new orange orchard. J. P. Greeley was visiting at Mr. McFadden's on Sunday last. Mrs. Norrish and son are the guests of Mrs. Kriek. W. B. Hervey has a large force of men at work on his ranch. One would hardly know that there ever was a house and barn on the place which was purchased recently by Mr. Hervey. All looks like an orchard now. The buildings were purchased by Mr. Schaller. Newman Essick is at home from Kern county for a short stay. He looks the picture of health. Mrs. G. B. Key has a wheel. Oranges are moving out slowly, owing to a scarcity of cars. With 1200 cars in transit, and taking on an average of twenty-five days for a car to be returned, and only about 1400 refrigerator cars all told, it leaves only 200 cars on the way back that will be available for the next week or two, and shipments will be reasonably slow. But with the fact that half of the navel crop has been moved, and only to the middle of February now, and as in former years we had hardly commenced at this time, and besides no foreign fruit afloat, it does seem as though the market must be firm; and at an advanced price, for practically when the navels are moved all the crop is gone. As the late varieties are badly frosted in most places in the other valleys, the orange growers here can rest easy, and need not force them too much at present. Placentia, Cal., Feb. 15. Excursion to Redlands. On Tuesday, February 22d, Washington's birthday, the Santa Fe route will sell excursion tickets to Redlands and return at $2 35. At least six companies will participate in the competitive military drill at Athletic Park, for which large cash prizes are offered to the best drilled. Special trains will be run to accommodate the crowd in both directions. Very little old hay is stored in the county, and the crop of last year was not very heavy. Farmers on the San Joaquin ranch, since they have planted their crops and are not working their horses, are using bean shucks and straw for feed. The officers of Court Anaheim, No. 156, Foresters of America, were installed at the regular meeting last Wednesday evening. Dr. Weldon of San Pedro, an officer of the Grand Court, was the installing officer, and Mr. Gully of Santa Ana acted as his herald. F. G. Drury, Deputy Grand Chief Ranger, of Santa Ana, was present and assisted. The officers installed were F. Stange, Chief Ranger; H. Olekers, Junior Past Chief Ranger; F. Gruenemay jr., Sub. Chief Ranger; M. J. Bauer, Financial Secretary; F. F. Sadelius, Recording Secretary; J. S. Hatfield, Treasurer; C. W. Martin, Senior Woodward; L. Bolz, Junior Woodward; Jno, Lederer, Senior Beadle; Fritz Martin, Junior Beadle; H. A. Smythe, Trustee. The exciting spectacle of a young man on horseback vainly endeavoring to ascertain the whereabouts of a lady and a couple of children who were driving in a buggy about town was witnessed by a number of people on Sunday afternoon, the reason for it being that one of the nuts of one of wheels had been picked up by the young man in Lewis' barn shortly after the lady had driven out with the rig. The young man was fearful that the wheel might "run off" and a serious runaway accident result. After riding for a considerable time in search of the lady he encountered her on Center street and apprised her of her danger. Luckily the wheel remained upon the vehicle. The nut was adjusted and the occupants proceeded on their journey congratulating themselves upon their good luck. John F. Tinsman who was recently successful in being placed upon the county indigent list at $5 per month on Monday received the following polite letter from the editor of a paper at Pleasanton, Kan., notifying him of his delinquency and asking a settlement: "PLEASANTON, Kan., Feb. 8, 1898. To subscription $1 40. "Say, I would like to have this account paid. I would like to hear from you. If you are going to pay it, say so; and if you are not, say so, and then I will know how to dispose of you. I am yours truly." Bro. Tinsman says that's the way they do things in Kansas. He was advised by friends to reply that when Editor Latimer wrote him in a politer vein, he would consider the propriety of remitting the amount due.

F., held one of their good old times last Tuesday evening when about forty of the brothers from Santa Ana came over to help the lodge confer the initiatory and third degrees. After the lodge was closed, Noble Grand Boege invited the brothers to a banquet which he had prepared to refresh the inner man. After passing a most agreeable hour the visiting brothers departed for home in the small hours of the morning, saying as they left, "We will be over again to feast with you, won't we Curtis?" A very pleasant afternoon was spent at the regular monthly meeting of the Ladies' Euchre club at the home of Mrs. M. L. Rogers in east Anaheim on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Crist won the first prize, a set of after dinner coffee spoons; Mrs. Wilson the second, a handsome jardinere and Mrs. Schneider carried off the consolation, a dainty cup and saucer. After partaking of delicious refreshments the club adjourned, voting Mrs. Rogers one of the best of entertainers. Capt. Schumacher came in from his ranch on Friday evening to meet with the singing section of the Turners, and when, later in the evening, he went to get his horse, which had been left tied to a hitching ring in the sidewalk in front of Turner hall, the horse and vehicle were missing, the horse having been untied by some unthinking person. Schumacher looked for his rig high and low, and an hour or two after midnight started out for his home on foot. Arriving at home he found that his horse had already arrived, hitched to the wagon, and after meandering about the orchard, had finally its way into its stall, leaving the vehicle, to which it was still attached, standing without. No damage was done, but Schumacher would like to meet with the man who untied his horse. A party consisting of Frank and August Baum and their sister, Miss Annie Baum; Conrad Stickle and Tommy Dietrich will leave next Tuesday for Copper River.

Spaulding on Monday recovered his horse that was taken from its pasture near Buena Park some two months ago. The horse was subsequently taken up estray at Olive and was later sold at Constable's sale. Aug. Kreutreff finally came into possession of the animal, paying $42 50 for it. Kreutreff lives near Spaulding's place, in the neighborhood of the Alamitos sugar factory, and some days ago the latter gentleman espied his horse in the latter's pasture. An investigation showed that Kreutreff had come by the animal without due process of law, although he was blameless in the premises, the fault lying with the Orange constable, who had not proceeded properly in disposing of the estray. Spaulding had no difficulty in proving his ownership, and on Monday the animal was turned over to him. Kreutreff had had the horse seven weeks. He was refunded his purchase money by the Orange constable. The Supreme Court last week reversed the decision of the lower court in the case of W. H. Spurgeon against the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, which was taken up on appeal from Judge Clark's court in Los Angeles. The Supreme Court reverses Judge Clark and hands down a decision in favor of the plaintiff. The case was brought by Spurgeon to establish his right to transfer shares of stock in the water company from land covered by the stock to other land. The water company contended that he could do this, as the stock had been located and could not be sold from the land. Judge Clark decided in favor of the water company. The Supreme Court reverses this decision. The case has midnight started out for his home on foot. Arriving at home he found that his horse had already arrived, hitched to the wagon, and after meandering about the orchard, had finally found its way into its stall, leaving the vehicle, to which it was still attached, standing without.

The water company contended that he could do this, as the stock had been located and could not be sold from the land. Judge Clark decided in favor of the water company. The Supreme Court reverses this decision. The case has midnight started out for his home on foot. Arriving at home he found that his horse had already arrived, hitched to the wagon, and after meandering about the orchard, had finally found its way into its stall, leaving the vehicle, to which it was still attached, standing without. No damage was done, but Schumacher would like to meet with the man who untied his horse.

Grand Trustee Frank Sabichi of Los Angeles and Grand Trustee L. F. Byington of San Francisco visited Invincible Parlor, N. S. G. W., on Thursday evening and installed the officers for the ensuing year. After the installation the ritualistic work of the parlor was exemplified, and during the evening the grand officers addressed the lodge in a very interesting and instructive manner. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the visiting brethren were banqueted by the parlor at Ketler's cafe, where a sumptuous repast had been prepared. The affair was a very pleasant one and it was late before the banquets took leave for their homes. Messrs. Sabichi and Byington remained in town the following day viewing the different places of interest hereabout and returned to Los Angeles on the evening train. News of a somewhat peculiar accident that happened at an installation of the Foresters lodge at Santa Ana a few evenings ago, comes from a correspondent located in that town. John Grumbach, one of the assistants in the ceremony, ran against the point of a sharp bayonet, the instrument penetrating his thigh, cutting the femoral artery. But little attention was paid to the accident at first, but when blood from the wound, which bled profusely, began to trickle down the injured man's trouser leg, saturating the carpet, a physician was summoned. When he arrived Grumbach was in a fainting condition from the loss of blood. The wound was dressed, and the injured man was carried to his home. Rather a peculiar accident to be sustained at a lodge installation, isn't it? Si Perkins.

Prof. Nebelung presented the band with an original composition, as a testimonial of his esteem. The Professor is an authority upon music, and his commendation of the band is very gratifying to the members of that organization. Fred Netzow departed on Tuesday afternoon for Milwaukee, which city he expects to reach about June 1st. He will remain a few days in Los Angeles, and goes thence to San Francisco for a short stay. He will also stop off at Salt Lake to view the sights of that city. Fred takes along with him the best wishes of a host of friends hereabout for his future welfare in his old home in Milwaukee, and many of them hope to see him back in Anaheim one of these days.

Hugo Eckstein of Alamitos while returning from a hunting trip at Bolsa on Monday was thrown from his wagon, falling beneath the wheels, and suffered the misfortune of having the bones in both arms broken, the right being fractured above the elbow and the left being broken in the forearm.

Notwithstanding the symptoms of a dry year the farmers in Alamitos are busy ploughing for sugar beets, but in the soil around Clair the farmer fears that the seed may never sprout unless we have at least two inches of rain. The rain will come yet, and the barley will grow and the beets of 1898 will furnish a goodly portion of Uncle Sam's sweetness in 1899.
