One Employee to Have Control of the Electric Works, the Other to Have Charge of the Water Works—Strained Relations Between the Two—Southern Pacific Surveyors Run a Preliminary Line from This City to Placentia—Of 46 Property-Owners in Town to Be Settled With for Right of Way all Have Signed Except 7 or 8—Work Being Rapidly Closed Up—Mr. Konig Will Begin Grubbing Up His Orange Trees on the Tract Sold the Company. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening present, Trustees Rust, Schwenckert, Schneider and Helmsen. Clerk Nebelung read the minutes of the last regular meeting, which were approved as read. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported having examined several demands against the city, and ordered warrants drawn for same. The committee, he reported, has received a number of samples of the 16-candle power Beacon lamps from the manufacturers in New Brunswick, N.J., and upon a test trial pronounced them of superior quality to the ones now in use. The lamps cost 15 cents apiece and are guaranteed to hold their initial power 300 hours. The Finance Committee was authorized to purchase a barrel of the new lamps. Trustee Schwenckert of the Committee on Public Improvements reported that a fire plug had been placed at the Del Campo hotel and one on Chartres street near Hermine; that one 50-light and two 10-light meters had been received; that Walnut street had been graded from the S. P. track south to the city limits, and that two fire extinguishers had been bought and delivered. Lemon street is being graded from Center street to North street, and the thoroughfare will also be graded to South street just as soon as we get a little more rain. The report was received and filed. Special Committeeman Schwenckert, appointed to adjust the differences between the two engineers at the power house, submitted the following rules to govern them, as follows: 1. The electrical engineer to have charge HIGH SCHOOL VICTORS. The Whittler Team, with a Professional Battery, Defeated by a Score of 5 to 4. Razzle dazzle, Hobble gobble, Zip, boom, bah! Fullerton high school! Rah! Rah! Rah! At the West End baseball grounds on Saturday afternoon the Fullerton high-school nine defeated the Whittler club, who had Tyler and Weed, a professional battery, in the points, by a score of 5 to 4. The game was one of the most exciting ever seen on the local grounds, and was not decided until the winning run was made in the ninth inning. The high school boys were younger and lighter players than their opponents, who outbatted them, but their superiority in the field, as well as the effective work of their battery, overbalanced their opponents and finally gave them the game, amid great excitement. The boys played an uphill game, stubbornly contesting every point. In the ninth, with the score standing 4 to 3 in favor of Whittler, and the high school boys the last at bat, Schulz popped up an easy fly to first, which Honnicutt pulled down without trouble, although his hands seemed as widely outspread as the sides of a bushel basket. Tyler showed considerable wildness as the game progressed, and Benchley, the next man up, got his base on balls. Clarence McFadden, who in the seventh inning made the longest hit of the game, sending the ball to deep left for a triple, was the next man up. Great expectations were based upon his ability to line out another similar hit, but he struck out. The Whittler contingent set up a yell of delight, and many of the home rooters felt their spirits go to the vanishing point. Ralph McFadden, who had failed to get his eye on the ball to any great extent during the game, concluded to wait for four balls, and took his base as a result of Tyler's wildness. Benchley moved over to second, and Stephen Rimpau, picking up his favorite bat, came to the plate prepared to exert his utmost to win the game. Benchley played well off second, and McFadden took desperate chances in leading off first. The crowd was yelling at Rimpau to knock the ball into the adjacent walnut orchard. "One to tie, and two to win!" shouted the rooters. E. K. Benchley, father of the pitcher (himself as enthusiastic a "ball crank") as exists out of captivity), left his seat and walked forward, his voice ringing out above the babel of excitement and PRELIMINARY SURVEY. Southern Pacific Surveyors Run the Initial Line to Placentia—Right-of-way in Town Being Closed Up. I. N. Pattison returned on Saturday evening from San Francisco, and has since been engaged in closing up right-of-way matters for the Southern Pacific's new line up town. On Monday he went to Santa Ana to consult the official maps, and returned in the evening. Only a few property-owners remain to be settled with, and it is probable that entire right-of-way will be secured within a day or two. Mr. Pattison has purchased 64 acres of the Dreyfus property on Santa Ana street, opposite the three acres in the Konig tract upon which he has already secured an option. The deed to the Dreyfus property was filed for record in the Recorder's office at Santa Ana on Thursday. The consideration is $1274.40. Mr. Pattison is negotiating for property on Santa Ana street between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, and it is said, with how much truth we are unable to say, the depot will be placed on this property—on Santa Ana street between Los Angeles and Lemon. Santos Carrisosa, who owns property on the northwest corner of Lemon and Santa Ana streets, informs us he has sold his lot to the Southern Pacific, and adds that the property adjoinning him on the west has also been purchased by the company. He says the curve to the depot will be made on his land. The question arises where will the depot be, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, or a block further east, between Claudina and Philadelphia streets? The Southern Pacific surveyors have run a preliminary survey from this city to Placentia. The cross-sectioning of the road up Santa Ana and out on Olive street has been completed, and Grant Bros.' grading outfit are only waiting on right-of-way matters to be adjusted before beginning work. Mr. Pattison said yesterday he had the matter nearly closed up, and hoped to have the work completed by the end of the week. There are some 46 property-owners along the route of the road, and of these all had been settled with up to yesterday morning, except seven or eight. Mr. Pattison hoped to settle with some of these by nightfall, and was busily engaged in conferring with them during the day. Possibly condemnation proceedings will be resorted to in one or two cases. But the work of closing up the right-of-way matter is rapidly approaching an end. The impression among the best informed yesterday was that the depot Special Committee Schwenckert, appointed to adjust the differences between the two engineers at the power house, submitted the following rules to govern them, as follows: The City Trustees of the city of Anaheim have concluded that the work of the electrical engineer and the steam engineer be defined as follows: 1. The electrical engineer to have charge of the electric part of the city power house, which is composed of cranes, engines and hoppers, and has charge of the complete construction and supervision of pole lines, and all wiring of whatever description and the repairing of all electrical apparatus of all kind, keeping the same in first-class condition at all times. 2. Building, and apparatus of whatever description in the building, to be kept in first-class condition by the engineer into whose charge the apparatus is intrusted. 3. No engineer is permitted to leave and properly persons, except by a written order from the president of the board, or one of the committee chairmen of the Board of Trustees. Orders to be kept on file and turned over to the City Clerk before the first meeting of every month. Both engineers are expected to be on duty until clock p.m. of every day in the year. The electrical engineer is permitted to leave work at 9 p.m. of every day for two successive weeks, during which time the steam engineer will take charge of the whole plant. At the end of this week the steam engineer will have his privilege again, and so on in rotation. It is, however, especially ordered that in case of emergency, such as break down or other cause, the presence of both engineers is necessary, both engineers will report for duty. 6. In case there should be a rush of work one engineer is to assist the other, and both engineers are at all times to obey and comply with the instructions of the presiding officer of the board of employees, or of any committee chairman thereof. 7. If any one of the engineers shall neglect his duties, it shall be the duty of the other engineer to report the case to the board. These rules are to take effect on April 1, 1899, and so continue until changed by order of the Trustees. It was moved by Helmsen, seconded by Schneider, that the rules be adopted, and that a typewritten copy be furnished the power house, and that one be kept on file at the City Hall. Carried. The two engineers at the power house have not been getting along amicably, and the rules, assigning one to the electrical department and the other to the water works, were adopted as a way out of the difficulty. Engineer Byers, who receives $80 per month, will have charge of the electric light paraphernalia, and Adolph Schneider, his understudy, who gets $60, will look after the water works. Engineer Byers had his resignation made out, stating that he could not work with Schneider, he said was disagreeable and hard to get along with, but he was persuaded to withdraw it, and continue in the service of the city. Byers, it might be added, is an electrical expert, and is the best engineer who ever had charge of the city's electric light works. Neither the Trustees nor the people at large will countenance his resigning under the conditions at present prevailing at the power-house. Trustee Helmsen reported that the gate valves-in-the fire plugs at Pamperl's corner on Los Angeles street and at Nemetz's paint shop were in need of Mr. Pattison said yesterday he had the matter nearly closed up, and hoped to have the work completed by the end of the week. There are some 46 property owners along the route of the road, and of these all had been settled with up to yesterday morning, except seven or eight. Mr. Pattison hoped to settle with some of these by nightfall, and was busily engaged in conferring with them during the day. Possibly condemnation proceedings will be resorted to in one or two cases. But the work of closing up the right-of-way matter is rapidly approaching an end. The impression among the best informed yesterday was that the depot site would not be far from the corner of Los Angeles and Santa Ana streets. Agent Darling said yesterday afternoon that two depots would be erected here, one a passenger depot like that at Santa Ana, and the other a large freight warehouse. Weekly Crop Bulletin. Issued by the California section of the Department of Agriculture, climate and crop service of the Weather Bureau, San Francisco, March 27: Conditions have been favorable to all growing crops during the week. The temperature was nearly normal and the precipitation abundant for all present purposes. In some portions of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys the heavy rains caused an overflow of the streams, but no serious damage has been reported. Pasturage and grain are now in excellent condition in nearly all parts of the State, and deciduous fruits will yield a good crop if conditions continue favorable. In Southern California citrus fruits are showing indications of a heavy crop for the coming season. San Luis Obispo county—Grain and grass were greatly benefited by heavy rains; very large wheat crop seems assured. Almonds were injured by late frosts in many places; otherwise fruit prospects are good. At Estrella early wheat was damaged by drought. Santa Barbara county—Rainfall for the season, 10.10. All crops benefited by late rains. Ventura county—Weather favorable to growing crops. A very large acreage has been sown to barley. Rainfall for the month, 2.44. Good crop of hay beans and beets assured. Los Angeles county—Warm weather was favorable to fruit, grain and vegetable crops. In some sections a good hay crop is assured, and barley is doing fairly well. Heavy yield of deciduous fruits expected. Pasturage good. San Bernardino county—Shower during the week have greatly benefited grain and hay. Citrus trees in blossom orange county—Rainfall at Orange to 24th, 1.01. Prospects for hay crop much improved. All fruit trees are coming on finely. Riverside county—Warm rain completely transformed the country. Grain improved, and a good crop of hay expected. Fruit trees blooming heavily; no damage by frost. San Diego county—At San Diego the rainfall was 0.19 for the week; in the back country it was much heavier grain and hay greatly benefited. Deciduous fruit trees are in bloom; fig leafing, and orange trees are white with blossoms. Los Angeles summary: Vegetation showing vigorous growth; hay crop as sured; prospect favorable for grain crop in localities. Sugar beets looking well, and extra acres would be put in on account of rain. $60, will look after the water works. Engineer Byers had his resignation made out, stating that he could not work with Schneider, who he said was disagreeable and hard to get along with, but he was persuaded to withdraw it, and continue in the service of the city. Byers, it might be added, is an electrical expert, and is the best engineer who ever had charge of the city's electric light works. Neither the Trustees nor the people at large will countenance his resigning under the conditions at present prevailing at the power-house. Trustee Helmsen reported that the gate valves in the fire plugs at Pamperl's corner on Los Angeles street and at Nemetz's paint shop were in need of repair. The plugs will have to be dug up and cleaned out. The Marshal was instructed to attend to the repairs. Trustee Schwenckert reported that a nuisance exists out on South Walnut street when people in that neighborhood irrigate. The water breaks through the ditches in the low places and at times a miniature lake is formed in the street, to the detriment of pedestrians. The Clerk was instructed to interview the property owners on that street, from whose land the water escapes, and see if the overflow can be prevented. Trustee Helmsen moved that a new pair of lines for the city team be purchased. So ordered. Mr. Storm asked for rates for water and light to be furnished his new residence on Broadway. The matter was left to the city engineer to ascertain the cost for the same, to report at the next meeting. Trustee Schwenckert spoke of the desirability of having a complete map of the water mains and pipes in this city. The city has a map of a number of the mains, but it is incomplete. It was ordered that the matter be left to the City Marshal, who will see to it that a complete map of the water mains is provided. City water was ordered furnished to the residence of Father Bannon on Palm street. A communication was received from R. Spoerl, asking permission to put up a small building on Center street, east of the City Hall. The building is to be covered with corrugated iron. It was moved and seconded by Schwenckert and Helmsen that the request be granted. So ordered. Trustee Schneider voted against the request, arguing from the standpoint that larger and more modern-like structures should adorn the main thoroughfare of the city. Bills to the amount of $59 81 were ordered paid, and the board adjourned. The newest silks for waists and skirts can be found at Harris' dry goods store, Santa Ana. Benchley struck Tyler out twice, and once, giving him base on balls, threw him out easily at the initial bag. Weed played a great game behind the bat for the visitors. He made two running catches of fouls that called forth a plenty of handclapping. In the ninth inning S. Rimpau relieved Benchley in the box, and Schulz went behind the bat. The score: FULLERTON H.S.

News comes from Grandpa Cargill, who is suffering with a stroke of paralysis at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Stearns, in Los Angeles, that his condition is very low and the indications are against his recovery. Mr. Cargill is approaching his 89th birthday, but was previous to the stroke of paralysis, which he sustained some six weeks ago, in excellent health and spirits. He spent the evening playing cards with a company of friends at his daughter's residence, and on going up-stairs to retire, about 9 o'clock, was seized with paralysis of the right side while undressing.

As John Blacklaw, a La Habra farmer, was about to cross the Santa Fe track at the Cox place near Buena Park some days ago, a passenger train came along and smashed his vehicle into kindling wood. Blacklaw had a providential escape from instant death. He was holding his head down at the time, with his hat pulled down over his eyes, to shield his face from the wind, which was blowing at the time, when, as he was about to drive upon the track, he discovered to his horror that the train was full upon him. He jerked the horse around off the track, and the engine tore off the two wheels of one side of the rig and smashed the vehicle into kindling wood. Blacklaw and his horse escaped unhurt. The train was stopped and backed to the scene where Blacklaw was surveying the wreck of his vehicle. The conductor took down his name, promising to report the affair to headquarters and have their disbursing agent call upon him and settle for the damages. Blacklaw says the engineer failed to whistle for the crossing, and adds that he has not seen the man who was to come out and settle his damages with him. He threatens to bring suit against the company. J. R. Eddy and wife, parents of Dr. Eddy, take their departure today for their home in South Dakota, after a pleasant visit here since August last.
