LOCAL NUGGETS OF NEWS The Cannery Project Going Right Ahead. A Ten Per Cent Assessment Called In, and the Executive Committee Authorized to Proceed With the Organization of the Company—Other News Items—Joe Becher’s Residence Destroyed by Fire Early on Monday Morning—Deciduous Fruit Growers Elect Officers—Young Mexican Arrested on a Charge of Rape—A Warm Time in the Old Town Election Night—Personals. The Directors of the Orange County Preserving Company met in consultation with J. J. Groom of Ontario at the Commercial hotel on Monday afternoon and discussed with him at length the details of the canning establishment to be put in operation here in time to handle this season’s crop of deciduous fruits and vegetables. Mr. Groom gave expert testimony relative to the cannery and after a thorough discussion of the project in hand the Directors decided to go ahead with the work, and called in the first ten per cent assessment upon the capital stock of the corporation as a preliminary to the inauguration of the enterprise. A letter was read from the Directors of a canning outfit situated at Santa Maria, Santa Barbara county, offering the machinery of the cannery at that point at a bargain, and the Executive Committee, consisting of Messrs. Fay, Dickel and Stern, were authorized to inspect the same and report upon the advisability of purchasing it. There were present at the meeting Directors Fay, Guenther, Bill, Benchley, Dickel, Stern and Rogers. Messrs. Guenther and Fay of the committee appointed to confer with the Superintendents of the railroad companies relative to offers to be made the enterprise in the matter of sites for the cannery, made a verbal report relative to the position of the Southern California company in reference to the enterprise, which was filed among the company's records. The offer was quite an advantageous one, and will be considered by the Executive Board in determining the location of the cannery. Mr. Rogers of the committee appointed to confer with the City Trustees relative to procuring free light and water and remission of taxation for a stated term by the municipality, reported that he had met with favorable comment on the part of individual members of the board relative to the peaceful as a Midsummer Night's Dream—Good Men Elected. The municipal election on Monday was as calm and peaceful as a midsummer night's dream. The caucus ticket was elected, and good men were returned to office. The principal contest centered about the Marshal's office, the two candidates for the place (Marshal Steadman and Amos Jennings) being each supported by a numerous following. The vote resulted 137 to 102 in favor of the former, and at no time after 11 o'clock did the election seem to be in doubt. The polls were opened at 6:30, and the vote was at first undoubtedly in Jennings' favor. Senor Don Santos Carrisosa delivered the bulk of the Mexidano vote to that gentleman before 8 o'clock in the morning, and at 9 o'clock he had an easy lead. H. C. Gade, who was named as one of the clerks of the election, in Steadman's interest, was displaced by those present at the opening of the polls, on motion of Arch Cadman (Jennings' brother-in-law) and Henry Smythe substituted. Jennings made the claim that Gade had not been lawfully appointed, and on Smythe being nominated by Cadman, no further contest for the place was made, and Smythe was accordingly named as clerk. The election board was composed of J. P. Zeyn and Charlie Hillel, judges; Theo. Rimpau and Frank Shanley, inspectors; J. J. Schneider and Jos. S. Hatfield, ballot clerks and Henry and Fred Smythe, clerks. Two hundred and forty-eight votes were polled. At 12 o'clock it was confidently predicted there was no doubt of Steadman's election, and from that time on he pulled steadily away from his opponent. The polls were closed at 5 o'clock, and counting proceeded until 7, when the result was announced as follows: Total vote cast.....248 FOR TRUSTEES. H. A. Dickel.....218 Jos. Helmsen.....216 Wm. Schwenckert.....200 FOR CLERK. M. Nebelung.....165 E. B. Merritt.....71 Nebelung's majority.....94 FOR MARSHAL. N. F. Steadman.....137 Amos Jennings.....102 Steadman's majority.....35 FOR TREASURER.

The offer was quite an advantageous one, and will be considered by the Executive Board in determining the location of the cannery. Mr. Rogers of the committee appointed to confer with the City Trustees relative to procuring free light and water and remission of taxation for a stated term by the municipality, reported that he had met with favorable comment on the part of individual members of the board relative to the matter in hand, but inasmuch as the board had not yet held a session, was unable to present a further report. Mr. Stern reported the procuring of a number of additional shares of stock. The total subscribed stock, including cash subscriptions and those on account of fruit and labor, amounts to about $11,000. Mr. Guenther reported upon his efforts to interview Mr. McNally, whom he had gone to Altadena to see, but missed him: he was unsuccessful also in meeting him at the California club, in Los Angeles, whither he had gone to meet him. However he hoped to meet him shortly and felt quite assured he would subscribe liberally to stock in the enterprise. People of Orange and Santa Ana had discussed the matter of establishing a cannery at the latter point, and were holding a meeting on that day (Monday, the 11th) with a view to discussing the advisability of inaugurating a canning company. That was the reason why he had not succeeded in securing a larger stock subscription in his neighborhood, but he felt assured that if they failed to go ahead with the cannery, the fruit growers would co-operate cordially with us. Mr. Stern said one objection to taking stock met with by him on his rounds among the people was that a number recollected the co-operative sugar factory of unhappy memory, to the disadvantage of the soliciting committee, but he felt assured that once the cannery was established this anti-pathy to subscribing to stock would be done away with, and a considerable list of additional shareholders secured. The chair referred to the manifold differences between the present enterprise and the sugar factory, and urged the renewal of efforts looking to an increased stock list. Mr. Groom was here introduced, and spoke at length upon the cost of a cannery, answering a large number of questions put to him by different directors. Mr. Groom's remarks covered minutely the many different aspects of the business, including the manner of making cans, quality of fruit for canning, different grades of canned goods, output and profits of other canneries, and the many details of the work now engaging the attention of the directors. Mr. Guenther was of the opinion that if we do not go beyond our depths and manage the cannery cautiously, the enterprise would prove a conspicuous success. Mr. Rogers moved, and it was seconded by Mr. Guenther and carried, that the meeting proceed in the matter of having a cannery plant and the purchase of machinery for the same. An assessment of ten per cent was thereupon levied upon the capital stock of the corporation, payable immediately. Mr. Stern was delegated power to call in all the subscription lists. Mr. Benchley moved that the Executive Committee be empowered to employ such ability and make such purchases, as in their judgement may be FOR TRUSTEES. H. A. Dickel...218 Jos. Helmsen...216 Wm.

Baron Cahen...204 When the vote was announced the enthusiasm on the streets among those who supported Steadman knew no bounds. A crowd of hundred men assembled at Hart's and wildly cheered the victorious nominee, pledging his health in foaming beakers. The march was taken up thence to the different places of interest about town, including Aug. Freise's and Roman Wisser's, where good cheer and enthusiasm were on tap. Fritz Ruhmann's Germania Halle was also visited, and here the throng quenched their thirst with the cup that cheers but does not inebriate, and on all hands the expression was heard that the best City Marshal the city has ever had, had been rightfully returned to office. Anvils were fired, and the crowd turned themselves loose to celebrate in the good old-fashioned way. As late society reporter would say, it was late when the guests dispersed. THE TOWN COUNCIL.

Impressive sermons were preached, and the houses of worship were handsomely decorated with flowers and evergreens. A boisterous wind storm prevailed at Riverside and San Bernardino Tuesday, raising banks of dust clouds in that direction, and giving us desultory gusts of wind during the day. The war bulletins yesterday afternoon presaged war with Spain. Unless Spain backs down completely, it would seem that war between the two countries would intervene before many days. County Assessor Vegeley was over from Santa Ana one day last week, attending to assessment matters. He assessed the Alamitos factory that day,and informs us the factory is assessed at $175,000. Prof. Sprague, who organized the deciduous fruit growers here some weeks ago, is quoted as saying that 22 similar associations have been formed. while 15 are forming.

Mr. McWilliams was now waiting for jack screws of the proper size to do the work. Clerk Nebelung, reporting upon the petition of citizens living on Los Angeles street between Chartres and Adelae, asking for a sidewalk, said that he had been unable to secure deeds for the sidewalks.

He reported the heater at present in use at the works heats sufficiently up to nine or half past nine o'clock, after which time steam must be pumped into the boiler. Seconded by Trustee Groat and carried. Messrs. Rogers, Dickel and Stern appeared before the board as a committee for the canning company, and asked concessions in lights and water and exemption from taxation.

Trustee Helmsen reported the taking up of the pole line leading to the Del Campo, and the wiring of the residences of Fred Backs, J. H. Byers and Fred Mickle. Trustee Groat suggested a reduction in the electric light rates, saying that in conversation with numerous citizens he had become impressed with the idea that a 20 or 25 per cent reduction in rates could be made. He was of opinion that as much revenue would accrue to the city by the reduction, inasmuch as a larger number of customers would be procured. Trustee Helmsen doubted if a 5 per cent reduction could be made. After discussion, the Clerk was instructed to write to other towns in Southern California for information as to the prices for light, to be used as a basis for comparison, and in the meantime a canvass is to be made among the citizens to ascertain whether the increased consumption of light would justify the reduction. Bills to the amount of $719 81 were paid and the board adjourned. The ampere meter ordered some weeks ago had arrived; at a cost of $35.

The sweet strains of music floating out upon the air on Tuesday evening was an unerring indication that the serenade season was at hand, and that the band boys were out paying their respects to the newly elected city officers. The melody floated out with its voluptuous swell until a late hour. Joe A. Tucktook and Jesus Andrade have been bound over by Justice Marquez of Yorba for trial on the charge of burglary.

We have been asked to extend an invitation to the local walnut-growers to attend. A big fire prevailed in Soquel canyon on Tuesday, sending up clouds of smoke that could be seen throughout the countryside. A report prevailed that the Santa Fe oil wells were burning, and at flight the blaze could be plainly seen. The fire was yesterday said to be a mountain brush fire, and during its progress Herman Koster's barn is said to have been destroyed. Mr. Koster's residence is said to have had a narrow escape from the flames. The wind blew a gale during the fire. Orange had a hot time at its election on Monday—it takes Orange to set the pace in art of mixing up things and getting interesting. A.H.

John Hauerwaas of Los Angeles, the well-known agent for the Schlitz Milwaukee beer, was in town yesterday making arrangements with Napoleon Hart to have that famous beverage on tap at his place of business. Mr. Hauerwaas is one of those sturdy, good-natured Germans whom to know is to like thoroughly, and he made many friends during his short stay. William Schumacher was seated at his home in Fullerton on Monday evening at half-past 8 o'clock, when he heard the canonading in town over the election. Thinking that it was an expression of the satisfaction of the populace over the declaration of war between the United States and Spain, he put on his hat and walked down town to see how things were going. Later in the evening some one came over with the intelligence that the shooting was all on account of the election, and William, satisfied at the result, went home and went to bed. L. K. Michener, a beet farmer of Alamitos, was run over at that place by the local engine in charge of John Hust at 10:30 o'clock on Monday morning and instantly killed. He had been irrigating, and the water having been shut off, he proceeded over to the factory, about a half-mile distant, to learn the cause of its stoppage, and while walking upon the track was overtaken by the approaching engine and killed, his body being mangled. Engineer Hust gave the danger signal but the man did not heed the alarm and was run over and killed before the train could be brought to a standstill. Coroner Clark was notified and held an inquest, and the jury exonerated Engineer Hust from all blame. An estimate of the amount of the deciduous fruit crop is difficult to make, but carefully gathered reports from different precincts in the county indicate there will be all the way from a 30 to 90 per cent crop. That the yield has been damaged by frost in exposed places is not disputed, but there are very few trees in the district that will not give some sort of a yield. Apricots, especially the varieties that blossomed earliest, have been most affected, as well as a few varieties of peaches; while in extreme cases walnut buds have been nipped, and the nut crop at San Juan and Santa Ana has been damaged. Prune trees are blooming heavily, and if no later injury intervenes that crop will be large, and there will be plenty of plums, apples and pears.

At the call of time both sparred cautiously. The former played for the latter's wind and succeeded in landing a number of hard blows, while the latter jabbed his opponent in the face. Honors were pretty nearly until the third round when one succeeded in landing two swings on the sledge wielder's neck and a left jab on the jaw that sent him to his knees a little groggy. The referee called time and the mill stopped. It is probable the two will "come together" again shortly. —The election in Orange on Monday developed a bitter contest between two opposing factions, and was marked early in the day by the arrest of O.

Handy were elected for the four-year term and N. T. Edwards and F. M. Robinson for the two-year term. W. H. Clayton was chosen treasurer without opposition, and O. P. Koerting was the only nominee for clerk. Three of the city trustees elected were on the ticket of "Caucus No. 2," while Edwards was the only one who was nominated by "Caucus No. 1." —The attention of our readers is directed this morning to the advertisement of the Anaheim Brewery, of which F. Conrad is the proprietor. The excellence of the output of this establishment has been dwelt upon by us in the past, and the new machinery lately placed in position in the brewery has had its effect in still further improving the quality of the brew. Mr. Conrad has lately shown his liberality in making a particularly flattering offer to the newly organized canny project, based upon a cash subscription of $1000, and we believe his liberality is such that the citizens of the community appreciate it fully. We believe in patronizing home industry, and in referring our readers to the advertisement of the Anaheim Brewery, desire to say that Mr. Conrad has determined to extend the market for his beer in every legitimate way, and is entitled to the kind consideration of his many friends in Anaheim and vicinity. —At the meeting of the deciduous fruit growers at the City Hall on Saturday, the following officials were elected to serve during the ensuing year: J. B. Neff, President; Geo. A. Hunter, Vice-President; George Boyd, Secretary; L. Goldwater, Treasurer. —Two well-known young men about town, one of whom wields the sledge at his brother's blacksmith shop, and is counted upon as being able to strike a knock-out blow, while the other is known among the boys as being-rather clever with the "mittens," gave a three-round box exhibition at the latter's place on Sunday afternoon, which was witnessed by a few interested gentlemen. At the call of time both sparred cautiously. The former played for the latter's wind and succeeded in landing a number of hard blows, while the latter jabbed his opponent in the face. Honors were pretty nearly until the third round when one succeeded in landing two swings on the sledge wielder's neck and a left jab on the jaw that sent him to his knees a little groggy. The referee called time and the mill stopped. It is probable the two will "come together" again shortly. —The election in Orange on Monday developed a bitter contest between two opposing factions, and was marked early in the day by the arrest of O. H. Clark, a candidate for marshal, on a charge of disturbing the peace, charged with having assaulted Evan Davis. The assault was caused by the publication of a communication defaming Clark's character. Clark was defeated at the polls, George Webb being elected. For trustees A. Meacham and O.
