SOUTHERN PACIFIC SURVEYORS GO Miserable Hotel Accommodations Cause Them to Leave for Westminster. The force of Southern Pacific surveyors who arrived in town Tuesday evening of last week remained until Thursday, when the miserable hotel accommodations afforded by this city caused them to change their headquarters to Westminster, where they have since remained. The party embraced fifteen members. Charges at the hotel were $10.00 per week and $10.00 monthly for rooms. No objection was made to these rates, but dissatisfaction existed with the hotel from the start. The barroom seemed to be the principal feature of it. When it became known on Thursday morning that the surveyors had left town on this account people became indignant, and there was considerable talk during the day about the formation of a corporation to erect a new hotel here. The chamber of commerce has the matter in hand and it is probable that what the town has needed for a long time—decent hotel accommodations—may be forthcoming before long. The surveyors have been engaged upon the work of running the line from Benedict to Smeltzer, but what further work it will have hereabout has not been determined. A line was run from the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets in this city westward, but what this was for none of the surveyors would say. The usual crop of railroad rumors continues active. These reports include work to be done in this neighborhood by the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, Salt Lake railroad and the Huntington electric line. A Santa Fe man in town this week took notes of these surveyors and what they are doing. It has been known for a long time that the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe, which were formerly competing lines are now, as one railroad man recently expressed it, "first cousins." That is why the Southern Pacific did not build its road to Placentia when it changed the location of its destination. UNION OF YOUNG HEARTS Joe Backs Leads Pretty Ella Warner to the Altar At St. Boniface church yesterday, Wednesday morning, at 8 o'clock the wedding of Joseph M. Backs and Miss Ella H. Warner was solemnized in the presence of many of the relatives and friends of the happy couple. Rev. Father Dubble officiated. Miss Katie Backs was bridesmaid and Henry Knapke attended the groom. The church was decorated with flowers and evergreens and the occasion was one long to be remembered by those present. After the ceremony congratulations were offered the newly wedded couple. Later all repaired to the residence of the groom's parents where the wedding breakfast was served. The bride was attired in white organdy over white taffeta. The waist was made with a drop yoke of silk appliqué and shirring. The skirt was made entrain and trimmed in shirring and accordian pleatings. She wore a veil caught up with an emerald brooch and carried white carnations. The bridesmaid was gowned in pale blue organdy and carried white carnations. The bride's going-away gown was black etamine with black chiffon hat to match. Many beautiful and valuable presents were received. The newly married couple left on the 3 o'clock train for Coronado where a short honeymoon will be spent. On their return they will go to housekeeping in this city. Cupid's Dart Invitations are out for the wedding of Robert Strain and Miss Ethel Spencer. The wedding will take place at the home of the bride's parents on Orangethorp avenue. Wednesday, April 29th. Both Mr. Strain and Miss Spencer are well known and popular young people here. Announcement of the coming marriage of William A. Freeman, son of Dr. William Freeman of Fullerton, to Miss Bertha Alexander of Kern, Cal., has been received. Mike's Mishap Allan Melrose while returning home FOR WHIPPING HER BOOK Mrs. J. B. Pierce Fined $15 for Changing Her Son-Case to be Appealed. Judge Howard on Saturday said he found the flesh of the boy to be brown and lacerated. The boy had bound hand and foot and had whipped with a blacksnake. He took the boy to the residence of J. Cole and showed him the marks on body. Testimony was also given by Rains, Mr. and Mrs. Cole and W Taylor, all going to show that boy's body bore evidence of having cruelly beaten. Dr. Bick testified that Rains brought boy to his office for examination. Lad's body he said bore evidence of whipping, but he did not constrain injury would result. Leonard Foster, a frail youth twelve years, was placed upon stand. He said that on April 11th parents tied his hands and feet with rope, and that his mother whipped with a blacksnake until he could stand. When lying upon the floor stepfather, he said, kicked him. As why he had been punished, the said it was because he had run from school and had stolen money from his father and chickens from mother. Mrs. Pierce gave testimony, adding she had thrashed the boy, but administered no more punishment than in her judgment was warranted by the boy's misbehavior. J. B. Pierce, who was formerly vice president of the peace of this township, is now a farmer in Centralia testing that he had not whipped the boy, that he had pushed him with his hand as he lay upon the floor after his mother had whipped him. The case argued by R. Melrose for the defendants and by District Attorney Hale for the people. The usual crop of railroad rumors continues active. These reports include work to be done in this neighborhood by the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, Salt Lake railroad and the Huntington electric line. A Santa Fe man in town this week took notes of these surveyors and what they are doing. It has been known for a long time that the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe, which were formerly competing lines are now, as one railroad man recently expressed it, "first cousins." That is why the Southern Pacific did not build its road to Placentia when it changed the location of its depot here some years ago. It looked for a time like the road would be built, but the compact between the roads, which was at that time, entered into and which has since continued, put a stop to further operations. Thus the Southern Pacific remains out of Placentia and the Santa Fe on the other hand keeps out of the Peatlands. Whether it is because this combination may be regarded by the government as in restraint of commerce and therefore illegal, or not is difficult to say, but evidence is not lacking that the combination will soon go by the boards and that extensive railroad building may be the order of the day hereabout in the near future. The latest report about Huntington is that his road will come in town on Lemon street and will turn east on Center as far as Los Angeles. Thence it will go south, but whether it will continue to the city outskirts on that street or turn east on Broadway is not stated. However these reports of the electric railway are premature, for in all probability no work on the line through this city will be done before the line to Placentia is completed, and Huntington may even decide to build his road as far as Riverside before building down this way.

Announcement of the coming marriage of William A. Freeman, son of Dr. William Freeman of Fullerton, to Miss Bertha Alexander of Kern, Cal., has been received. Mike's Mishap Allan Melrose while returning home on his bicycle Saturday evening shortly before midnight felt, as many boys have felt before him, that the devil was after him and he was scorching along at a one-minute gait. Turning a corner near his home he collided with a passing wagon and the next day Dr. Bickford had to plane down his face in several places. Neither the bicycle nor the wagon were injured. The driver stopped and asked if the kid was hurt and on receiving a reply that he was not continued on his way. Allan went home and went to bed thinking little of his injuries, but the next day his face, which would usually stop a clock, was a beautiful sight to behold. When he came down into the breakfast room the family ran screaming out of the house, thinking it was the wild man lately seen in the foothills. Dr. Bickford informs us the face will not have to be amputated and Allan has resumed his job with the Sant Fe oil wells. Mike ban goot faller.

Giles Otis Pearce, a mining operator and promoter well known in Orange County, filed a petition in insolvency in the United States Court in Los Angeles on Monday. Judging from the appearance of things, a man may deal gold mines and yet not get any gold out of them. He has debts amounting to $23,145.16, and to pay this sum he apparently has nothing but some bedding, worth about $25. He has three banks full of clothes and mining tools, worth $150, at a Santa Ana hotel, but the proprietor thereof persists in holding to the stuff for an unpaid board bill. If a man could pay his debts with binary mining stock, Giles Pearce would get out of the hole he is in and have money to burn. He has enough mining stock on hand to paper a room having no less than 332,424 shares in six companies, each with a long, high-sounding name. The greater part of his indebtedness consists of borrowing money and unpaid bills for advertising in eastern papers, one pauline in Philadelphia having a bill against him for $2000. The companies in which he holds stock are the Madona Gold Mining Company, Plike's Peak Tunnel Mining Railway, Rio Colorado Gold Extraction Company, United Mines company of California, Channel and Tunnel Minerals company of Los Angeles, and the Upper Gold Mining company of Los Angeles. The Plike's Peak company is the hands of a receiver, and the others are not being operated. Pearce was formerly in Colorado Springs, and came here about a year ago. He formed a great scheme some months since for a mining exchange and a big smelter at San Pedro, but neither "went." TYPHOID AT PALO ALTO. Several Cases Are Those of Students at the University.
