February S.-Mr. john A. klnnear, an aged
and one of the most highly esteemed citizens
of Rockbridge, died suddenly this morning.
He had been in declining health for several
years, but no anticipation of death so soon.
His ancestry were among the early settlers of
| the historic Timber Ridge vicinity, where was
his home all his life During his early man
hood and middle age, he was a merchant at
Timber Ridge, but for more than thirty years
l had retired to the pursuit of farming, having
large boundary of agricultural and forest
lands.
For fifty years or more he had been a mem
! Der, and for the greater part of the time, an
| officer of the Timber Ridge Presbyterian
| church, to which he devoted much of his
| time and attention. His intelligence and fine
| character made him a favorite with old and
| Young, and but few men have passed away,
| leaving so blameless life, and such an ex-
emplary intercourse for the inheritance of
those that are to follow. He will be buried
tomorrow afternoon at Timber Ridge, where
sleep many of his name and kindred.
| Mrs. Kinnear, his sons-William and Joseph
and three daughters-Mrs. Thos. Sterrett,
Mrs. Rufus Patterson, and Miss Substantive
him. Mrs. Kinnear is of the historic family
of Lyle, identified in the early history of
| Rockbridge as among the most constant and
stern advocates of civil and religious liberty.

An ExemplfficAtion That Gan Things

Captain E. s. Dudley, who has been
acting as Acknowledgement of the depart
ment of Arizona ever since the depart
ure of Col. H. G. Corbin for Washington
in November, yesterday received tele-
grams from Washington informing him
that the president had appointed him
assistant uuartermaster with the rank
OF captain.
As Captain Dudley entered Weet
Point 20 years ago and has since seen
constant service, he cannot be charged
with want OF patience. He devoted a
large portion of yesterday afternoon
to reading congratulatory kilograms
upon his promotion. When asked if he
thought there was now any probability
of the removal Of headquarters from this
city to Santa Fe, he replied mot until
new adjutant general is appointed to
this department and possibly not then.
There was big batch of military ap-
pointments sent yesterday by the presi-
dent to the senate and the name of a
new adjutant general may have been
among them"
"What do you hear about Lieutenant
Wallace's expedition against Kid Il

A Combined Electric Light and Street
Car Company Proposed.
ANAHEM. Dec. 21.-The board of city
trustees held no meeting Tuesday
night, there being no quorum present.
The only important thing to come up
before them was the electric franchise
question, and as none of the applicants
for franchise had yet made definite
propositions to the board they are not
yet ready to grant either of the parties
the wished for privilege. 1t is now pro-
posed to combine lighting system with
a system of electric cars, the main line
to run out to the sugar refinery. 1t is
claimed that with electric motors and
storage batteries the motive power could
be supplied from the lighting plant to
run the cars at very little additional ex-
pense, and the present cars and track
could be used and no erection of poles or
wires would be necessary. The matter
is being earnestly canvassed among our
leading citizens,
A courtmartial was held in Company
G's armory Satui day night to try Pri-
vate McGofin on charges of refusal to
attend drills and nsubordination, or
offenses of similar nature. McGofin
moved away from the city some time
ago and was not present at the trial.
which was conducted by Captain
Bangham of Pasadena. The decision of
the court has not vet been made public.
The amount of mail handled at the
Anaheim postoffice has increased to an
alarming extent during the past week,
and the assistants are kept busy receiv.
ing and forwarding holiday missives and
tokens.
The Presbyterian Sunday school will
open the list of Christmas entertain
ments Friday night, at the church, with
a festival and concert for the enjoyment
of the little ones.
Professor Tyndall appears in Kroe-
gers hall this, Thursday, evening in
one of his interesting mind-reading and
hypnotic exhibitions. The attendance
promises to be large.
The weather continues quite cool and
is not very favorable to the growing of
new grass and grain. The ground is in
splendid condition and few days warm
sunshine would cause everything to
spring up wonderfully.
The Anaheim public schools will close
Friday afternoon for the holiday vaca-
tions, and will remain closed until Tues
day, January Sd, making longer vaca-
tion than usual.
The oranges are now rapidly ripening,
and the crop will probably begin to
move early in January. The fruit is
much finer and cleaner than heretofore
and is almost entirely free from scale.
The buyers assure the growers of better
prices than have prevailed for some
seasons.

and the little ones are accordingly
happy. Special services will be held in
few OF the churches. High mass will

Thus will our people not forget their
religious duties on this great holiday.

ably some other amusements will be
