MATERIAL ARRIVES. Four Cars of Angle Plates, Bolts and Switch Iron. Invoices of Steel Rails and Ties Also Arrive, and the Same is Looked for any Day—Correspondence Addressed Here for Mr. Boschke, the Assistant Chief Engineer, who Built the Alamitos Road—He is Looked for With the Surveyors and Construction Crew, to Begin Work Immediately—Deal Closed for the Konig Tract for Depot Purposes—Ensements Filed for Record—Mr. Pattison Takes His Departure—He Will Return Next Week. I. N. Pattison departed on Sunday afternoon for Redlands, after spending a week here in securing easements from property-owners on Santa Ana and Olive streets, giving right of way to the construction of the Southern Pacific railroad along those thoroughfares, and to the construction thereof to a junction with the Tustin line at the semaphore a mile south of town. Mr. Pattison was quite successful in securing rights of way, and there exists no reasonable doubt that work upon the new road will begin at almost any day—probably this week or next. On Thursday morning he closed a deal with Wm. Konig for the purchase of some two and a-third acres of that gentleman's property, extending from Los Angeles street to Olive. In this tract is situated the residence of Charley Ramella. This has been purchased, and Ramella will buy another residence lot elsewhere. A number of the property-owners along the route of the projected line have given free right of way. W.J. Fay is a striking instance of this sort of level-headed judgment. The road curves onto his land at the corner of West and Broadway, cutting off a portion of the rear acreage. Two surveys have hitherto been made, one of them cutting off 80 walnut trees, and the other 12. When the surveyors arrive, another and deciding line will be run, and if the route can be placed so that no trees at all will be cut off, Mr. Fay has agreed to give free right of way. If trees are to be cut off, an agreement has been arrived at between that gentleman and Mr. Pattison satisfactory to both parties. Wm. Schwenckert, owning property RIDICULOUS YARN. The Scurrilous Reference to a Lady By the Anaheim Correspondent of the Los Angeles Times. Alvin Nichols, living six miles west of Anaheim (a quarter of a mile south of Mr. Roller’s ranch at Rollo), drove into town on Tuesday to look for the family of Mrs. Greer and her two grown daughters, who arrived from Oklahoma on Sunday morning, he having been their neighbor in Oklahoma City. Tuesday morning his attention was called to the following ridiculous yarn printed in the Anaheim correspondence of the Los Angeles Times: ANAHEIM Feb. 27.—Mrs. Alvin Nichols arrived here yesterday from Oklahoma, and has since busied herself in a vain effort to find her husband. Nichols left Oklahoma for California about six months ago, and almost immediately wrote back that he had located near Clair in this county. Other letters were received by his family, and finally one came instructing them to come on to California. He stated that he would sent two weeks ago naming the day on which the family would depart for the West, and on arrival here yesterday it was expected that Nichols would be at the depot. He was not, and no one could be found who knew anything about him. Mrs. Nichols drove to Clair, but was unable to find trace of her husband, further than that he was last seen about that place two weeks ago. She gave up the search today and rented a house in town where her family will remain until Nichols is located. His wife fears that he is sick and unable to get word to her." Mr. Nichols stated that Mrs. Greer and her family had come on from Oklahoma, while her husband followed with a car of freight, including some live stock, he having been granted the privilege of coming on the train with the stock. Nichols is not related to Mrs. Greer's family and is simply an old acquaintance. He had been expecting their arrival for some days past. How the ridiculous story came to appear in the Times he is at a loss to understand. Mrs. Greer was been by a GAZETTE reporter at her home, on the corner of Chartres and Olive streets, on Tuesday afternoon, and was quite at a loss to know why the stupid reference to her was made by the correspondent, whom she does not know, nor has she ever seen. She arrived with her family on Sunday, and at the Southern Pacific depot observed that Mr. Nichols was the only person the family knew in Southern California, and naturally asked as to where he lived. She informed those with whom she became acquainted that Mr. Greer was following with a carload of livestock and other freight, and would probably arrive in a few days. She and her family are in comfortable circumstances. They are educated ladies of intelligent address, and certainly deserve better than to be the recipients of the scurrilous reference to them by the local correspondent of AN EXTENSION OF TIMES Southern Pacific Franchise Renewed. Would Have Expired on March 9th, the City Trustees Extended the Time in which Rails may be Placed on Santa Ana and Olive Streets — Trust Schwenckert Refused to Vote for Against the Extension of The Claiming the Building of the Rail Town Would Provoke “Love Jealousies” — Claims His Property Will be Damaged $1000 by the Rails. The Board of City Trustees met regular session on Tuesday evening present, Trustees Rust, Schwenckert Helmsen, Dickel and Schneider. The Clerk read the minutes of last regular meeting, which were proved as read. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee was granted further time for purchase 10 and 30-light meters. Trustee Schwenckert of the Committee on Public Improvements reported that the smoke stacks at the works had been painted, and that W nut street, from Center street to southern city limits, is being repaired. Clerk Nebelung reported that W Fay had declined to serve upon Board of Health. Chester Spencer was appointed in his stead, to represent the West End. Chairman Rust reported the Board of Health had held a meeting and written to a number of boards of health in Southern California for data, but yet had received no answer. Under the head of new business this clinic appeared before the board and led for the extension of time. He spoke on sincerity on the part of his company in their desire to build their road-up-town. Options have been cured by the railroad company from depot site and moneys have been taken to a number of parties for right-way, which strongly point to that the road will be built. He letters in his possession from the company which show that the road will constructed through Santa Ana state and on to Placentia and Chino through the La Habra valley thence to Whittier. As soon as have given free right of way. W.J. Fay is a striking instance of this sort of level-headed judgment. The road curves onto his land at the corner of West and Broadway, cutting off a portion of the rear acreage. Two surveys have hitherto been made, one of them cutting off 80 walnut trees, and the other 12. When the surveyors arrive, another and deciding line will be run, and if the route can be placed so that no trees at all will be cut off, Mr. Fay has agreed to give free right of way. If trees are to be cut off, an agreement has been arrived at between that gentleman and Mr. Pattison satisfactory to both parties. Wm. Schwenckert, owning property at the corner of West and Santa Ana streets, asks $1000 for an easement along his twenty-acre tract. He claims a row of his walnut trees will be damaged, and his property otherwise depreciated in value to the amount asked in compensation for the right of way. Fred Pressel, owning property on Santa Ana street, west of Lemon, asks $1500 for right of way, and Mr. Lorenz, owning property at the corner of the two streets, asks $3000. Mr. Lorenz considers that his wines in the winery situated upon his home place will be damaged by the running of the cars in close proximity thereto, and quotes Tim Boege as authority for the statement; although the Dreyfus winery, one of the largest in Southern California, was built alongside of the railroad tracks, and many have been of opinion that the Dreyfus wines were equal to the best. Mr. Boege's winery is also situated alongside of the railroad switch at West Anaheim. However these amounts have been considered excessive by Mr. Pattison, and their adjudication will probably be left to a board of arbitration. A number of other property-owners on the line have given free right of way, among them Theo. Rimpan, C. Schindler, Santos Carrisosa, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Heffner, Charley Ramella, Mr. Wolfgram and others. It is not thought that any serious opposition will intervene to the construction of the road, and it is expected that work upon the same will begin immediately. Material Arrives. On Friday morning two carloads of the advance consignment of material arrived, consisting of one carload of angle-plates and one carload of track bolts. On Saturday there arrived one carload of switch material, another car of angle-plates, and half a car of surveyors' stakes. On Tuesday invoices of steel rails and ties arrived and the material is looked for to arrive from Sacramento any day. Correspondence has also arrived for Mr. Boschke, the assistant chief engineer, who will be pleasurable remembered as the constructor of the Alamitos road three years ago. The fact that Mr. Boschke's correspondence has been addressed to him here would add another indication that work on the construction of the road up-town will speedily begin. He is expected to arrive, with a force of surveyors, and the construction crew, almost at any moment. Mr. Stevens, division roadmaster, was down from Los Angeles on Monday and looked over the route. He said that work would begin at once. Mr. Pattison departs from Anaheim with the most cordial feelings toward our people. To a party of friends who saw him off at the depot, he said that he had been treated so well here that he seriously thought one of these days of coming back to Anaheim to live! Farmers' Club. The Farmers' club held a very interesting as well as enjoyable meeting at the residence of W.J. Fay on Monday afternoon. M.L Rogers presided, and a goodly number of the club members were present. Discussions were participated in by Messra Danforth, Holman, Rogers, Fay, Wheeler, Mrs. Langenberger, Miss Horstmann and others upon various subjects, including the scale parasites, orange exchange, good roads, biproducts of the orange and lemon, citric-acid factories, orange wine, and orange vinegar. Mr. Fay reported upon the European lupines sent here by Prof. Hilgard, saying that Messrs. Neff and Schulte had planted some of the seed as well as himself. He had not heard from the other gentlemen, but the lupines with him had scored a failure. He did not believe the climate and soil adapted to them. Mrs. Fay regaled the club with refreshments, after which a vote of thanks was tendered host and hostess for their hospitality. Mr. Rogers tendered the club an invitation to meet with him on the occasion of its next meeting, which was accepted, and the club adjourned. Young Folks' Party. Miss Winifred Melrose entertained the young folks social club at her home on Tuesday evening. A most-enjoyable time was spent by the guests in playing six-handed euchre, at which the prizes were won by Misses Elizabeth Kuchel, Olga Zeus, Stella Lewis and Dora Zeyn, Messrs. Houck, Salvin, Johnston and Hansen. During the latter part of the evening a cake walk was participated in by Adair Scott, Dr. Houck, Herman Stern and Fred Backs, the two former being attired as ladies, to the great amusement of those present. At a late hour the guests departed for their homes, to meet next with Miss Dora Zeyn. Athletic Club. F.F.Pyne was over from Santa Ana yesterday afternoon, and informed us that the young men of that city are organizing an athletic club and will raise enough money to put up a building and equip it with all modern apparatus. All young gentlemen in Anaheim interested are invited to join. A public meeting will be held to make arrangements at the hall of the Pyne music company, at Santa Ana, at 8 o'clock on Monday evening next. All are invited to attend, young men and old, bald-headed men and athletic gentlemen of all sorts and previous conditions of servitude. Agent Darling of the Southern Railway cific appeared before the board and for the extension of time. He spoke on sincerity on the part of his own pany in their desire to build road up-town. Options have been cured by the railroad company for depot site and moneys have been paid to a number of parties for right way, which strongly point to the idea that the road will be built. He letters in his possession from the pany which show that the road will constructed through Santa Ana state and on to Placentia and Chinatown through La Habra valley through Whittier. As soon as right of way is settled work will be commenced and the road completed within two months. Mr. Darling said he is confident the road will be tended from Los Alamitos to New Beach. Trustee Dickel said he was still time ago opposed to granting the pany an extension of the franchise account of their failure to carry out the terms of the contract, but now feels confident the railroad means lessness, and he was in favor of granting the company all they ask for. Trustee Helmsen also spoke in favor of extension of the franchise. It was moved by Trustee Dickel seconded by Trustee Schneider, because the Southern Pacific railway company was granted an extension of one for their franchise through Santa Ana and Olive streets. It was carried by the following Ayes—Rust, Dickel, Helmsen-Schneider. Trustee Schweenkert refrained from voting. He argued against granting the extension. He seemed to be on opinion that the road would not allow entire community, and would build create a feeling of "local ousy." He claims his property will damage by the road to the extent $1000. Marshal Steadman reported that had placed a new pipe line to the dence of Mrs. Schubert. Approved. The purchase of a fire-alarm wire was left to the Committee on Public Improvements with power to act. Whistle will be placed on the tank at the water works.. It is a invention and can be heard with radius of five miles. It costs $480. Went to Hear Moody I went with the crowd to hear Ms in Santa Ana and I was more than paid for the journey. What struck me most about the great preacher was apparent want of effort in entrain his audience—the ease with which effects the grand result—and then engraving in the memory of his ers almost every sentence he uu He is an elocutionist of no mean art in the delivery of his sermon is intensely natural; at the same he is intensely thrilling. In a ww is intensely D. L. Moody, he has born evangelist of the nineteenth tury. The opera-house was filled overflowing and hundreds were uu obtain even standing room business speculation the adventio Moody was an undoubted success stores did a rushing trade. I heard by a side wind that they furnished the needful to defray their penses of the evangelist's visit; they thought struck me why could not helm have done the same. RAMBLE fact that Mr. Boschke's correspondence has been addressed to him here would add another indication that work on the construction of the road up-town will speedily begin. He is expected to arrive, with a force of surveyors, and the construction crew, almost at any moment. Mr. Stevens, division roadmaster, was down from Los Angeles on Monday and looked over the route. He said that work would begin at once. Mr. Pattison departs from Anaheim with the most cordial feelings toward our people. To a party of friends who saw him off at the depot, he said that he had been treated so well here that he seriously thought one of these days of coming back to Anaheim to live! He was entertained at dinner and other social functions by some of the leading citizens of the city, and was made to feel at home during every hour of his stay. He goes to Redlands to look after Mrs. Stanford's property at that point, he being the manager of her extensive landed interests throughout the State. Thence he goes to Bakersfield, Sanger, Goshen, Fresno and San Francisco, making a speedy journey through those places and arriving at his home in the latter city by the end of this week. He is expected back in Anaheim by the middle of next week, when he expects to give attention to the matter of the right of way from this city to Placentia and on to Chino. Secret Service? On Sunday afternoon J. A. Davis, the Santa Fe agent at Fullerton, drove over in company of Mr. King, who is said to be in the employ of that company's secret service. They drove to the site of the proposed Southern Pacific freight and passenger depot on Santa Ana street and along the new route of the road. Mr. Davis also explained to Mr. King the route to be traversed by the Southern Pacific along Santa Ana street to Placentia. It is believed the Santa Fe is taking an active interest in the local railroad situation, as the construction of the Southern Pacific to Placentia would deprive it of a large portion of freight now hauled to Fullerton and shipped over the Santa Fe. May Build to Whittier. It was authoritatively stated yesterday that the Southern Pacific would build from Placentia through the La Habra to Whittier, as a continuation of the road to be built from this city. It is believed the rumor has considerable foundation in fact. Beet Drill for Sale. First-class beet drill for sale; can be seen at Nick Hugo's blacksmith shop. jan19-2m* Athletic Club. F. F.

All are invited to attend, young men and old, bald-headed men and athletic gentlemen of all sorts and previous conditions of servitude. There is one man in this community, whose name is suppressed through deference for his extreme modesty, who narrowly escaped a siege of illness this week. To use his own expression, he "felt bad all over." A friend suggested that he should try the new bitters known as Casca Ferrine, the marvelous efficacy of which is fast becoming known. He acted upon the suggestion and since has been making the merits of the bitters known to his friends. Casca Ferrine Bitters never fall in pleasant results. Strayed. From my place Wednesday night, Feb. 22, one bay mare, 5 years old, weight 1050 lbs; scar on left ear; clipped, but hair is growing out thick in spots on left hip. E.W. DEAN, Fullerton.

Chaffin who ran a store at Fullerton has lit out for pastures new, and his Los Angeles creditors have levied upon the stock for the purpose of removing it to that city. Worthy of Note. AZUSA, Cal., Feb. 7, 1899.—William G. Potter of this place, who has been a great sufferer from rheumatism and the effects of the grip, has been made a well man by taking the famous medicine, Hood's Sarsarparilla. He is an elocutionist of no mean quality but he has the great gift of hiding art in the delivery of his sermons; is intensely natural, at the same time he is intensely thrilling. In a world intersely D. L. Moody, the born evangelist of the nineteenth tury. The opera-house was filled overflowing and hundreds were used to obtain even standing room. Business speculation the advent of Moody was an undoubted success. Stores did a rushing trade. I heard by a side wind that they furnished the needful to defray their penses of the evangelist's visit, and thought struck me why could not he have done the same. Mountain Lion Killer. Prudencio Yorba was in from on Monday and in conversation with our reporter informed him that shepherd, N. J. Dupurrena, had one day night killed the first mountain deer shot in that locality, then measuring 7 feet 5 inches from the tip of the tail. The killing curred in Fremont canyon, running northerly from the Jonathan Wash Place. During three weeks last Mr. Yorba lost 50 lambs, and last lost 35, the lion being the undo cause of the depredations. On his evening the barking of the sheep dog told Dupurrena that something usual was up, and getting his 44 roamed in the moonlight, then leading the way up the canyon he caught sight of the lion, which scaled to be retreating. It climbed into oak tree. The herder could not for the foliage, but taking aim she pointed where the beast was seated to be, and down it came tumble ground. The herder worked rifle for all that was out while beast, with frantic endeavor, reto reclimb the tree. He fired times, but the lion succeeded in getting into the treetop. Dupurrena fired again giving the lion three piercing the head and body in six places, and the king of beasts fell earth dead. It was one of the mountain lions ever seen in the city and was the first ever killed particular locality. Mr. Yorba probably be freed from the aggrieving loss of his lambs in the future.

Attention is directed to the new advertisement of the W. F. Lutz Co., which appears on the second page this morning. Manager Whann has something interesting to tell those who want to buy buggies and farming implements at rock-bottom prices. A number of the young men about town are considering the formation of a social club. They purpose renting the upper story of the Federman building, furnishing it nicely and putting in billiard tables, where a quiet and sociable evening or afternoon may be indulged in. Charles Hogan who is in charge of the Means property, at the corner of Los Angeles and Sycamore streets, is engaged in pruning and irrigating the orchard and putting it in good shape. Mr. Hogan is an experienced horticulturist, and the orchard is being given the attention it has lacked in recent years. The large pepper tree that has stood for years at the corner of Center and Claudina streets, in front of the lot next to the City Hall recently purchased by N. Hart, was on Thursday chopped down at the instance of that gentleman, the object being to remove the obstruction to the electric light in front of the property, so that Claudina street may be better lighted. Mr. Hart contemplates the erection of a two-story building upon the lot in the near future. As Fred Click was scorching down Center street on Sunday evening on his bicycle, and when in front of Hahn's barn, he collided with the wheel of a vehicle standing in the street. His right cheek bone was laid open by an ugly gash and he sustained other bruises. The wheel was badly wrenched and will have to run into the machine shop for repairs. Fred consulted Dr. Eddy, who bandaged up the wound, and he now carries his face in a sling. R. H. Gilman drove into town one day last week from Placentia with his wife and children. Mr. Gilman returns from Cloverdale to find the scenes of his former activity the center of quite a lot of interesting railroad rumors. He is quite agreeable to the building of the railroad from Anaheim to Placentia and on to Chino, and would not seriously object to a road from Placentia to Whittier. When Rudolph Bentz went to the slaughter house southeast of town at half-past 5 o'clock on Monday morning to bring the meat to the butcher-shop, he saw that thieves had entered the place during the night and stolen two dressed hogs and a fore quarter of a beef. Wagon tracks about the place showed that the thieves had with them a one-horse light wagon, the horse being unshod. On following the wagon tracks it was discovered they led into town. A fairly reasonable clue to the identity of the thief or thieves is possessed by the owners of the stolen meat, but so far no arrests have been made. The West Anaheim schools are closed this week, on account of the prevalence of two cases of scarlet fever in that neighborhood. Monday morning 21 scholars absent themselves from school, and Trustee Darling deemed it best, after consulting with the people of the West End, to shut down the schools for a week.

Phipps and Dr Campbell were down from Los Angeles on Sunday and drove out to the oil wells. They report borings proceeding satisfactorily and prospects excellent for an abundance of oil. Major Easton was delighted to hear of the railroad news, and expressed a willingness to aid in securing rights of way for road through his ranch and neighborhood. The party returned to Los Angeles on the afternoon train. One of the experiences during the ride down to the depot on the street car was the running off of the track of the car at the curve at the lumber yard, when Aug.

A party of Salvation Army lads and lashes drove over from Santa Ana on Tuesday evening and awoke the echoes by singing Salvation songs, among them "I'm out to-night for Jesus," "Salvation's free" (to the tune of "Hot Time,") and "Sunshine in my heart," driving about the streets while singing. Later they paraded the streets, accompanied by a man beating a bass drum, singing songs. They subsequently conducted services in the premises next to Judge Pierce's former courtroom.

A distance up the canyon the herder sight of the lion, which seemed to retreating. It climbed into an tree.
