IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1878 The first experiment with the electric light in Berlin was made on November 14, 1877, in the new synagogue, on Oraneinburg street, before a large crowd of people. In the court yard of the building a stationary apparatus furnished the light, which was conducted over the roof into two of the five round windows, whence the light streamed down on the synagogue below. The effect was astonishing. The light was so brilliant that it illuminated the gallery and the remotest parts of the edifice. The splendor of the light was vivid, but not offensive to the eye. In comparison with gas, the result is as follows: Gas, per hour, $15; the electric light, $1 for the same time. The apparatus costs several thousand marks. The synagogue was also lit up outside by the electricity light, bringing it out as bright as day, and producing a most magical effect. Gas burned alongside the new light looked pale and was, as it were, thrown into the shade. Mr. Theodore Reiser, president of the board of town trustees, having written to Surveyor Hansen in regard to completing his maps of Anaheim, received the following reply: "Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 10, 1878. 'Mr. Reiser—I have made several trial profiles, but they don't satisfy me.' It is an easy matter to make a grade, but it is laborious to make the best possible grade; that is to say, the one which secures good draining at the least possible amount of digging, cutting and filling. Considering that it is a matter of consequence to your town to save $10,000 to $15,000 balance, I think that it would be wrong to hurry now the most important part of my work and fix blindly a grade which would result in expense.

Many cities have been put to a great deal of trouble because in the establishment of grades the proper care, work and circumspection was not used. "I have now Center street so that I think I need not change it again, and will have by tomorrow night the last changes of Lemon and Los Angeles streets worked out, and can in a few days more put it on paper and send it to you. Although you may feel somewhat impatient now, you will in the end not regret to have done so important a work as to the establishment of the grade in every respect well and carefully. "Yours truly, "GEORGE HANSEN." Anaheim lodge No. 199, I. O. O. F., at its regular meeting last Tuesday evening, installed its officers for the ensuing term as follows: J. J. Dyer, N. G.; H. S. Austin, V. G.; P. C. McKinnie, treasurer. H. Cahen will be installed recording secretary at the next regular meeting. At a meeting of the board of school trustees, held at Judge Athearn's office on Tuesday, Mr. Stappenback presented two plans for a new schoolhouse. It is quite probable that one of them will be accepted. Dr. J. E. Fulton, owner of the sulphur springs on the Santa Gertrudes rancho, has taken the preliminary steps to have 60 acres of ground surrounding the springs laid out in villa lots. The Santa Anita ranch provides the Baldwin hotel in San Francisco with all the oranges, limes, and lemons used by that hotel. Shipments are made twice a week. We understand that Bishop Kip will hold a confirmation service in St. Michael's Episcopal church, in Anaheim, in April next. The Rev. Mr. Trew intends preaching on confirmation on Sunday morning. An imitation coral shawl-pin was found on the street on Tuesday and left at Justice Athearn's office. The owner can have it upon application. The contractor on the Newport wagon road reports that the San Bernardino end is about completed, and in about two months he will have it extended through Los Angeles county. We learn that a party of men have jumped the Rincon tract part of Pio Pico's rancho. The tract contains about 1000 acres of very valuable land. Frank Ey has been appointed agent for the San Francisco Chronicle and Call. Two pair of blankets were stolen from the home of Mrs. Charmouth on Thursday.

Frank Ey has been appointed agent for the San Francisco Chronicle and Call. Two pair of blankets were stolen from the home of Mrs. Chambers on Thursday. Louis Wartenberg has two very gentle work horses which he will sell cheap. Apply immediately. The young gentlemen having in charge the arrangements for the masquerade ball on Washington's birthday have succeeded in obtaining sufficient signatures to warrant them in making preparations on a grand scale. The programme for the entertainment will be formally announced in a few days. The sensation in Los Angeles yesterday was the juvenile elopement of the night previous, wherein Johnny Massey, aged about fifteen, and Miss Anita Richard, of the same tender age, lit out together from the maternal roof, since which time no trace of them has been found. We understand that the joint capital of the youthful pair consisted of $6 in money and a pair of valuable bracelets. It was at first supposed that they had gone to San Gabriel, where the girl has an aunt living, but inquiry in that direction failed to elicit anything to confirm that belief. The police now have the matter in hand, and will no doubt discover their hiding place before long. The Literary Society of Orange, in conjunction with the Literary Society of Anaheim, will give an entertainment at Kroeger's hall on Thursday evening. The entertainment will consist of tableaux, recitations, and music. A hot oyster supper will be provided, and the funds collected will be devoted to the benefit of St. Michael's church. All signs fail in wet weather. Although the barometer at Langenberger's has been set fair for two days, it has rained at intervals since Monday morning at 1 o'clock. Up to yesterday morning, according to Dr. Higgin's rain gauge, one-half inch had fallen, making the rainfall for the season four inches. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1903 Miss Adela Strodthoff entertained a party of her friends at progressive hearts on Tuesday evening, in honor of Miss Selma Hansen, who is soon to wed Otto Strodthoff of Jerome, Arizona. The house was very prettily decorated with holly berries and red hearts. Miss Bessie Schubert and Fred Backs won first prizes. Miss Zelma Bailey and Herman Stern captured the second, and the booby prizes were taken by Miss Clara Hansen and Arthur Ramage. Delicious refreshments were served after the game, and at a late hour the guests departed, having thoroughly enjoyed one of the most delightful affairs of the season. The largest sale of real estate of the new year is the transfer of the H. Gaylord Wilshire place of 40 acres, in Placentia, to J. L. Hunton, a recent arrival from Texas, now residing in Santa Ana. The purchase price is $25,000. The Wilshire place is one of the best known orchard tracts in Placentia and consists of 20 acres of walnuts and 20 acres of oranges. The purchase price includes all farm machinery and horses. A son of Mr. Hunton will reside on the ranch in the seven-room cottage which Mr. Wilshire built for himself. The purchaser is an evangelist of the holiness faith, and since his arirval from Texas has been holding services in Santa Ana. John Pfeninger was in town one day last week from Los Angeles. He is running an electric car on the Washington street line, and some evenings ago Otto Rust, who had been taking in the chutes, bearded his car for up town.

An old gentleman of the name of Hawkins was arrested by Marshal Steadman on Monday evening for attempting to break into a residence in the eastern part of town. He was under the influence of liquor. In one pocket he carried a bottle of sherry, in another pocket another kind of wine, and in an inside pocket a bottle of medicine. He was locked up over night. The judge thought twenty days in jail would be about right. "The Lord bless you, judge," said the old man, as sentence was pronounced. A one-armed hobo was the next grist. He struck town with a gang of half a dozen hoboes. He was the provider for the gang. He came up town selling pencils. He secured enough money to buy a jug of wine and fell by the wayside.
