He was at work here upon the day of the twins' arrival, and at 9 o'clock received telephonic summons to come to his home in Los Angeles. He drove to Garden Grove, caught an electric car and arrived home at 1 o'clock in the morning. "It's a boy," observed the proud mother. "What is it?" asked Porter, breathless and excited. "It's a girl," Mrs. Porter said. The young lady will bear the name of Zoe Elizabeth, and the boy, William Rosecrans, in honor of the general of that name, the mother being a niece of that officer.

The fire was started by the explosion of a kerosene lamp which Mr. Robinson's five-year-old son was in the act of lighting. The lad had removed the burner and applied a lighted match to the oil. An explosion immediately followed; which while great efforts were made on the part of the family to save the building, entirely consumed the structure. Mr. Robinson and his family were in the yard at work when their attention was attracted by cries of the child. They rushed to see the interior of the dwelling in flames. Neighbors soon responded, but could do nothing to save the residence. Mr. Robinson estimates his loss at $2,000. There was no insurance; He will rebuild. Ninety Days for Mefford Elmer Mefford was sentenced by Justice of the Peace Smithwick of Santa Ana on Friday to serve ninety days in jail for battery upon Godfrey Dreger at Katella two weeks ago. Abner Mefford was fined $10 for his part in the crime. Dreger and Herman Dorman were returning on foot to Katella from Garden Grove, having just alighted from a Los Angeles electric car. They were stopped by the Meffords, who were driving. Elmer Mefford assaulted Dreger, beating him severely. Dorman ran through orchards and escaped. It was said at the time that the whole affair was an attempted holdup. Mefford's attorney announced he would appeal the case to the Superior court. Elmer Mefford was released on $500 bonds, and Abner on $200. This is Elmer's second offense, he having beaten the driver of a team returning from an Epworth league picnic at Talbert some months ago.

One day this week, while conversing with an eastern couple who were asking regarding the schools, a youth passed on the sidewalk and emitted one of his customary yells. It is proper to state this youth does not attend school. Another youth passed with an ear-splitting contrivance. Our friend, who was expatiating upon the excellence of our schools, and the good behavior of the kids, was compelled to admit there were a few unruly specimens loitering upon the streets. Let these kids be compelled to go to school, and let them cut out these noises.
