Santa Ana, Oct. 7 —As yet no trace
of young Reed and Shirley bae been
found. These two young hoodlums have
given their parents much uneasiness,
and in running away from home, with
*wo borsea, have laid themselvea liable
to prosecution. Were tbe boys on foot,
no trouble would be taken in the mat
ter, but aa it ia, the parenta want the
horses. The reform school would be the
proper place for the yonug scamps.

'Wood, and that Oar Dick will then come
in and win the race.
All the flyers from the north worked

FUTLEKTON NOTES.
Harvesting in the La Habra valley
will not be finished for at least two
weeks. All tbe warehouses in this town
are full, and farmers are now hauling
barley to Anaheim, where it is being
stored. The price is so low that but few
farmers are selling.
The Placentia orange growers will

A BANK IN ANAHEIM.
The disastrous failure of the Anaheim
bank was not brought about by lack of
business, but by its president making
unwise loans and investing money in a
wild cat mine. A new bank ia to be es
tablished, however, to be known as the
Oitisens' bank, and among its stock
holders will be L. F. Lewis W T
Brown, E. Barr, J. P. Zeyn, A.
berger, H. Cohen and other leading res
idents of the mother colony. Such
backing will make this bank one of the
safest in the atate.

Pomona, Oct. 7.—There were fully 50,
if not more, persons who boarded the
8:23 Santa Fe west-bound train at North
Pomona this morning for tbe city of Los
Angeles—they were principally dele
gates from the various churches in this
section to attend the union at tbat point
of the Young People's Society Christian
Endeavor, and will return tonight by a
special train over that road. They
seemed to be in the beet of spirits when
seen, as if anticipating a good social time
in the City of Angels.
The mercury has risen to such a point
today as to make one feel that a visit to
the seaside and a plunge in the briny
deep would not be at all inappropriate;
in fact, that it would be no more nor
less than the proper caper.
The circus-loving portion of this com
munity and the territory adjacent
thereto will be delighted as well as sur
prised to learn that tbe price of tickets
will be only 50 and 25 cents instead of
the old time "dollar of our daddies."

two electric lights at «♦-. - j ine 0 f the

avenue crossing and another either at
that of Ellen street or North Main. In
matter of fact the two latter are the
most dangerous of the three, notwith
standing tbe former is used oftener
than the others. There has been more
or less complaint for some time past,
so much so tbat the council has passed
an ordinance regulating tbe matter;
and as heretofore stated in these col
umns, Col. Muir, the division superin
tendent, appeared before the council in
session and promised a careful carrying
out of tbe ordinance on the part of the
officials and employes of bis road if they
(the council) would only give the road
a fairly just ordinance.

Santa Monica, Oct. 7.—Your corre

and machinery of the Santa' Monica
Electric and Power company, which has
a 60-year franchise and has expended
over $20,000 cold coin to give us one of
the best, if not the very best, in the
state.
The switchboard for a while waß an
interesting subject of investigation,
where I found a multitude of different
kinds of meters. The Watt meter,
which regulates the total output of
electrical energy ; the pressure indicator,
which indicates the pressure or voltage
at which the lamps are burning, and the
Ampere meter, which closely tells the
number of lights that are burning, were
particularly interesting little machines.
There are shut-off and switch keys in
numerable. The dynamo is one of the
latest of the General Electric company's
seltaegulating machineß, It works to a
chasm and is a matchless piece of ma
chinery. It actually compensates itself
for the increase or decrease of ligbtß,
acting automatically, keeping every
thing at a constant pressure. It also al
lows both arc and incandescent lights
on the same circuit, which will be the
case here in a few days.
The steam plant is of the very best,
evidently put in for the greatest dura
bility and economy, the engine being a
compound condensing one of the Ball
Manufacturing company, Pennsylvania,

gallons being used nightly.
They are supplying ilinmination for

vices Today.
Pasadena, Oct. 7.—The last sad rites
were held over the remains of Mr. Cas
per T. Hopkins, at his home in Olive
wood, this morning, in the presence of a
large gathering of friends and relatives.
The services were conducted by Rev. Dr.
Hall of All Saints' Episcopal church,
and were of a very impressive nature.
A quartette, composed of Mrs. W. B.
Clapp, Mrs. B. C. Kendall, W. C. Kyle
and M. E. Wood, rendered a couple of
selections in an excellent manner, which
were much appreciated by the friends
present.
The floral offerings were simple but
beautiful, and presented a lovely Bight.

mated, the following gentlemen acting
as nail-bearers: P. M. Qreen, C. M.
Parker, F. P. Lukins, Dr. Shoemaker,

were a number from San Francisco and
Lob Angeles, including Mr. W. B. Hop

Smith, of the Pacific Insurance union,
San Francisco, and a large number of
friends and relatives from this city. In
the death of Mr. Hopkins ahe Pacific
coast loses one of its pioneer settlers
and one of its foremost and most pro
gressive business men, whose place it
will be hard indeed to fill. The sincere
sympathy of the community goes out to
the bereaved family in their affliction.

Compton,Oct. 7.—Compton was thrown

afternoon by a rough-and-tumble scrap
between two of our well-known business
men.
The trouble originated with some boys,
who threw dirt from the top of a build

The facts are hard to get, but we will

Dakota's Great 'VFheatfields.
A large party of foreign agricultural
commissitmers to the World's fair, un
der the escort of Governor Shortridge of
North Dakota, saw some harvesting
operations in that great wheat country
a few days ago which must have opened
their eyes, accustomed as they are to the
small acreages of Europe. Driving
through a vast wheatfield bounded only
by the horizon, they beheld as many as
43 twine binders moving in a steady pro
cession half a mile long and cutting
great swaths of grain.
They were told by the owner of this
farm that in harvesting time he cut a
square mile of grain in a day and em
ployed 80 men to shock it up. At noon
the visitors sat down to a prairie chicken
dinner on a mammoth scale, which ex
cited their surprise almost as much as
the prairie acres on which they gazed.
Afterward they visited the famous
Dalrymple farm, covering 54,000 acres of

A Just but Lenient Judge.
An unusual incident occurred in the
city court at Savannah a few days
ago. Judge McDonnell was tardy in
putting in an appearance, for which he
fined himself $10 and then promptly re
mitted the fine. His honor went to* see
his physician to have his arm, which he
recently injured, dressed, and the doctor
kept him a little longer than he had
counted on. When he entered the
courtroom, the hands on the clock above
the judge's desk pointed to just 10 min
utes past 10.
Judge McDonnell took note of the fact
and said: "In accordance with the rules
of this court every officer who comes in
late is subject to a fine. The clerk will,
therefore, enter a fine of $10 against the
court for tardiness, to be paid into the
registry of the court. Owing to the
fact, however, that this is the first time
this thing has happened, and also that
the court had to be detained in order to
have its arm dressed, the clerk will re
mit the fine."—Baltimore Sun.
English Taught In French Schools.
The French minister of public instruc
tion has issued a circular which will have
the effect of greatly stimulating the
study of the English language in France.
In all the higher schools and training col
legos the compulsory studies hitherto
have included two modern languages,
one of which must be German. This or
der is now annulled.
Two modern languages will be the rule
as before, and one will remain at the op
tion of the pupil, but as to the other he
can choose between German and Eng
lish. Moreover, the time given to the
study of German is reduced by two
hours, while that devoted to English is
increased by tho same length of time,
and pupils will begin their English les
sons one year earlier than hitherto.—

A Phosphorescent Tree.
A large willow tree on the bank of
Tan run in Frankford fell over recently
and developed into a natural curiosity.
The inside of the tree, which has been
dead for several years, was found to be
a mass of phosphorescent light known
as fox fire. As darkness came on and

hundreds of people gathered, and as

A Live Toad In a Hailstone.
A hailstorm visited Pawtucket about
10 o'clock Saturday evening, such as has
not visited this vicinity for years, if
within tho memory of man. One woman
picked up a large hailstone and allowed
it to melt in her hand. She thought
something was inside the littlo piece of
frozen rain, but was surprised to find
when all had melted a little live toad or
frog in her hand. There is a quite gen
sral belief that a great many pebbles
same down with the hail.—Providence

A Novel Law Suit.
A novel suit is to be entered in the
courts,' at its next sitting, in which one
party claims tho right to have a post
mortem examination of a body made,
white the other opposes it and defies the
first to proceed with the affair. It
seems that a few years ago a Mr. War
rington, a well to do cattleman of that
county, married a second wife, to whom
he presented the jewels, consisting of
valuable diamonds belonging to the
first Mrs. Warrington, and which she
Bad received as part of her marriage
portion from her father, a wealthy nier
thant in jewelry in San Francisco.
Warrington dying shortly after his
second venture into matrimony, Mrs.
Warrington kopt the diamonds in defi
ance of the family of her predecessor,
who claimed them as the deceased wom
an's heirs. Suit was brought against
her, but she declared that her husband
had sold them shortly after they were
married and that she had no property to
to make good the loss even if she were
liable for the act of Mr. Warrington.
This story was not believed by the
first Mrs. Warrington's family, who
maintained that the woman still had
them in her possession, and soon after
her death, which took place some weeks
ago, the nurse who attended her in her
last illness testified that the day she had
died she had her bring her a box filled
with unset genia, which she deliberately
swallowed one by one, passing away
a few moments after she had got the
last one down. The family now wish to
disinter her body and to open it for the
recovery of the diamonds, but her own
people, not crediting the nurse's story, re
fuse to allow what they consider a dese
cration of the dead.—Lincoln (Neb.) Let

Pcffer's Currency Scheme.
Brief mention has been made of Mr.
Peff er's latest bill, but brief mention can
hardly do justice to it.
Its title is "A hill to advance learning,
the arts and sciences and promote the
general welfare by founding a college of
scientific learning in the District of Co
lumbia." The bill consists of 19 sec
tions.
The first provides for a department of
education under the control of a secre
tary of education. The second provides
for the construction within three years
in the District of Columbia of a college
of scientific learning, in which shall be
taught all the classical and professional
studies and arts and sciences necessary
to give students a knowledge of the
highest courses appertaining to such ed
ucation and learning.
Another section appropriates $20,000,
--000 for the cost of constructing the col
lege and providing it with the necessary
appliances. The eighth section appro
priates $800,000,000 to be carried to the
credit of tho fund, the interest thereof
to be applied monthly. The fourteenth
section provides for the purchase of
aluminium for coinage of the currency
to the amount of the appropriation.
The coins are to be 1, 5, 10, 25 and »0
cents, and $1, $5, $10, $20 (and multiples
of $20). This currency is to be the legal
tender for all debts, public and private.

Longest Track Laying This Year.
tub longest, stretch of track laying
done thus far this year has just been
completed by the Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Sault Sts. Marie company in the
extension of its line from Cathay, N. D., to
Sterling, on the international boundary,
a distance of 182.4 miles, all ironed since
last spring. At the boundary lino con
nection is made with a branch of the
Canadian Pacific, now building from a
point west of Eegina, about 160 miles
long, which will be completed in Sep
tember, thus making the Soo line an im
portant part of a new route from St.
Paul and Minneapolis to the Pacific
coast, and inaugurating a competing
line which may greatly disturb existing
conditions. No work of railway build
ing in 1893 is likely to be more far
reaching in its effects than that which
virtually extends the Canadian Pacific
system to the Mississippi river.—Rail
