NOTABLE LOCAL GAS MERGER ANAHEIM COMPANY TO TAKE OVER ORANGE CONCERN Now Pipes Gas to Fullerton, and Will Extend Pipe Line to Orange — Gas Works at Latter Place to Be Moved to This City Details of a local gas merger, whereby the Anaheim gas company takes over the gas works of Orange, became known this week, when L. E. Miller, president of the company, admitted negotiations had been in progress to that end and would be completed within a day or two. Consumers at Orange will be served from this city, a pipe service connecting the two towns to be installed, similar to that now supplying Fullerton from this city. The gas works at Orange will be moved here and used as a subsidiary plant. The officers of the local gas company, which from the date of its inception three and a half years ago has steadily expanded in all directions, are L. E. Miller, president; Sam Kraemer, vice president; B.V. Beebe, treasurer; C. F. Grim and T. S. Grimshaw. These gentlemen hold the bulk of the stock, and are the men who are negotiating the present merger. Stock holders in the Orange gas works will be admitted into the new corporation. The deal is financed at $125,000. The local company was capitalized originally at $75,000. The main office and plants of the enlarged new company will be maintained here. LINCOLN'S ASSASSINATORS S. O. Llewellyn Was in Wake at the Time of the Traffic S. O. Llewellyn of this city his possession a copy of the York Herald of date April 1 containing a graphic account assassination of President Lincoln's theater at Washington evening before. The paper umn rules turned, appear mourning. Llewellyn was ininton at the time of the assassination and purchased the Herald next morning as the newsboo crying their papers through streets. He was a member of a Virginia cavalry regiment and a company of many others had been national capital some weeks civil war was over, Lee had dered, and it only remained for son and Early to lay down arms. Along with numerous lions he was in attendance at when news of the assassination Instantly lights were extinguished all hands retired into the stile. The impression caused by the ing of the president was wid and profound. It bowed the capital, as it did other of the land, in grief, and especially marked among theiers returned from the field title. Llewellyn was a member of the alry detachment sent in pur Booth. Three days after the sinaion, while upon a ridge looking the Potomac he saw ly expanded in all directions, are L. E. Miller, president; Sam Kraemer, vice president; B.V. Beebe, treasurer; C. F. Grim and T. S. Grimshaw. These gentlemen hold the bulk of the stock, and are the men who are negotiating the present merger. Stock holders in the Orange gas works will be admitted into the new corporation. The deal is financed at $125,000. The local company was capitalized originally at $75,000. The main office and plants of the enlarged new company will be maintained here. The local gas company is now expending $10,000 in installing a new holder containing 40,000 cubic feet and extending their pipe lines to newly opened residence tracts. Its capacity will be when the new holder shall have been installed, 60,000 cubic feet. Its works are operated 10 hours seven days a week, and 250,000 cubic feet of gas is delivered in this city weekly. The supply piped to Fullerton is something less than half this amount. The Orange consumption is said to be about the same as that consumed in this city. Three years and a half ago, when the local company was organized, its capacity was 10,000 cubic feet; now its capacity has increased sixfold. Then it made gas three times per week; now the works are operated daily including Sunday. The company pipes gas to Fullerton and gives excellent satisfaction. An opposition gas concern in Fullerton is having a noticeable list to starboard, and is said to be hardly able to proceed under its own steam. A year or two ago it applied for and was granted a franchise to build a pipe line from Fullerton to this city, ostensibly to pipe gas hither, but nothing but hot air and unpaid bills emanated from its boosters. The enlarged company will when the Orange pipe line is laid be called upon to deliver a half million cubic feet weekly to both this city and Orange, which will tax its capacity to the limit. Fullerton will also require a larger amount. The result will be that one of the largest and best appointed gas works in Southern California will be installed here. Mr. Miller said yesterday the deal had been practically completed, and that he was waiting for a long-distance message from Los Angeles, for which an appointment had been made with him, to finally bind the merger.

Eighteen representatives attended the meeting. The standing of the fourteen schools composing the league is as follows: Covina, first, 406 1-6 points; Hollywood second, 405 1-3 points; Los Angeles high third, 398 2-3 points; Anaheim fourth, 395 1-3. These four schools are the only ones in the league which have won the two debates already held this year. One of them will undoubtedly be awarded the championship. Covina and Hollywood will debate in March, and the winner of this contest will meet the winner of the Anaheim-Los Angeles debate for championship honors. Santa Ana high is sixth on the list, and Throop brings up the rear, having defaulted one debate. Throop and Huntington Beach will debate for rear-end honors. Elton Goble represented Anaheim high at the meeting. Anaheim will submit the question, and Los Angeles will select and choose its side. Preliminary try-outs will soon be taken up by the local schools. It is understood the number of entries will DEATH OF WM.

He had resided here with his wife and two little daughters for more than a year, coming here from the east in search of health. His enfeebled condition was such that he experienced no benefit physically, and for some time past it was known it was impossible for him to recover. Last fall he went to Monrovia in a vain endeavor to prolong his days, but returned after a few weeks and had since resided here. Deceased came of a prominent family, and during his brief residence had formed many acquaintances, among all of whom regret is expressed at his death. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church at 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Rev. Father Dubble conducted burial services, and a large attendance of friends and neighbors were present to pay their last respects to the deceased. A down-town business man said yesterday that he had permitted $20,-000 to slip through his hands "just like it was greased." He had an opportunity of buying a tract of land in a northern county on reasonable terms and at a price which he considered a snap. He was eager to buy, but his associates wanted time to investigate. Within a week the land was sold to other parties at an advance of $21,600. Q. R. SALE Preparation Sale. We must make goods which are arriving. We over from one season to an-keep cut in prices.
