Cahen, formerly a well-known citizen of Anaheim, now a resident of Los Angeles, where he is engaged in the wholesale stationery trade, was overcome by a slight stroke of apoplexy Friday last. He was at once removed to his home, and Dr. Eddy summoned. Mr. Cahen's condition was at first considered critical, but reports yesterday were to the effect that he was improving and would probably soon recover. He has been giving close attention to his business and was stricken while engaged in details of office work. Mr. Melrose visited his old-time friend on Tuesday and found him resting comfortably. The patient was in cheerful mood, talked freely and gave every promise of early recovery. Mr. Cahen has many staunch friends throughout Orange county, where he was engaged in mercantile and banking business for many years, and they will indulge the earnest hope that he may soon be restored to his usual robust health and be privileged to resume his business avocations.

Figures of Rainfall Eighty-eight hundreds of an inch of rain fell during the week, the weather having been for the most part showery, which brings the total rainfall for the season, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge, to 18.98 inches. Last year to date 15.75 inches. Only twice in twenty-two years has more rain fell to date than is recorded the present season. In the wet winter of 1883 4, 20.95 inches fell to date, and the total for the season amounted to 25.82. This was the heaviest precipitation since the flood of 1862, when the entire valley was under water. Indeed the entire state was visited by destructive floods. Old-timers say it rained every day for six months. In 1889-90 19.54 inches fell to date, but no rain fell after March 20th of that year. The showery weather of the past week culminated on Monday evening when night set in with copious showers. A heavy west wind sprang up, and in a few minutes the rain was over. The moon shone brightly. A year ago Monday night one of the heaviest storms of the year prevailed, the gauge showing a precipitation of 1.05 inches for the night. Showers on Tuesday evening added .02 to the total, bringing it up to an even 19 inches for the season. An Elegant Assortment OF Staple and Fancy Groceries Just Received.

His delusions lead him to fear the hands of those with whom he is contact. For several years he suffered from chronic alzheimer's until his once powerful physician reduced to one of pitiable acuity. On Monday he was exiled to a commission in lunacy and Patton asylum for the inoculation exceptions to a trip to a hospital, declaring that he had a bad cold and needed no attendance. It was only by that Sheriff Lacy and his manager to get Bentz into a room to Orange. Bentz desired a trial and he wanted the les attorney to defend him. Treated to bring a damage arrest. Steadman and Connens assisted in managing him. As stubborn as a mule, accustomed to the Santa Ana Register, some extreme keenness with Deputy Sheriff Wilson enabled Jackson accompanied Patton. Mahara's Minstrels. Anaheim Defeats Throop Resolved; That the issuance of a temporary injunction by a court previous to a judicial determination of the equity of a case is a dangerous practice, the exercise of which should be made legally impossible. Judges—Hon. E. E. Keech of Santa Ana, Judge Craig of Los Angeles, Prof. Barker of Orange. Affirmative, Anaheim; negative, Throop. Score—Anaheim 51, Throop 49. By adroit maneuvering on the part of Throop in the preliminary negotiations incident to the debate between these two schools, the impossible side of this question was handed the local high school. That its debaters won the decision is due to their superior handling of the subject, to the more clever presentation of their side of the argument, to harder work and closer application to the task before them, to making the most out of the weak citations which were the only ones open to them, and to Throop's failure to take advantage of the openings afforded them. Roy Firebaugh and Max Carmichael made excellent presentations of their side of the argument, although it must be confessed that had Throop taken advantage of the citations in the White and Debs cases, the decision must have gone to the polytechnic.

He concluded on the dot; time being called upon him as he completed his last sentence. His rebuttal was particularly effective from the standpoint of an exceedingly tough proposition. Firebaugh and Carmichael are all the more to be congratulated for their victory. For several days previous to the debate they realized they had the impossible end of it, and entered into the contest with more spirited energy as a result of it. A large bunch of Throop rooters came over on the electric to Garden Grove, driving hither, and entering the hall as the first Throop debater was opening after Firebaugh closed. They made noise a plenty, but the local product was even more vociferous and awe-inspiring.

He was in his sixth year and had resided in this place 1867. Korn was a native of Germany, arrived in California in 1853. King of the discovery of gold in the west, he prepared to leave his home for the new Eldorado. He went Hamburg to set sail for the new but found on arrival at the port his vessel would be delayed a night before sailing.

In search of hidden gold he engaged in placer mining at Coloma, Eldorado county, and was successful in this occupation, continuing until 1863. In February, 1867, he located in Anaheim, and purchased twenty acres of vineyard land, in connection with which he operated a winery. In 1869 he located upon the West-street property, although still retaining his former home, and this was also planted to vines, which a quarter of a century later met the fate of all the vineyards in this locality because of the prevailing grapevine disease. The forty acres were then planted in oranges and walnuts. Mr. Korn was active in promoting many of the important enterprises of the city, and for many years sustained the position of director of the Anaheim Union Water company. A republican in politics, he served for several terms as a member of the board of city trustees. Fraternally he was formerly associated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and was made a Mason in Sierra county, Cal., and later transferred to the Anaheim lodge.

A class of twenty-six newly elected members was instituted into the Odd Fellows lodge on Tuesday evening. Delegations of visiting brethren were present from Santa Ana, Orange, Huntington Beach, Whittier and other points. Two hundred members later sat down to an elaborate banquet.
