The Finley Case-Increase of Vineyard
Acreage.
SANTA ANA, Dec. 16.-The jury in the
Finley case, after being out for nearly
35 hours, being unable to agree, were
discharged. Six of the jurymen be-
lieved Finley ought 20 be convicted,
while the other six were favorable to
acquit him. The judge discharged the
iurymen, snd Finley is out on bail to
await another trial. This case has cost
the county large amount of money,
and it is doubtful if the man will ever
be convicted, az many believe he re-
ceived punishment enough for the
melee.
MORE POLITICS.
j. Burdette Cornell, state lecturer Of
the Farmers alliance, addressed small
audience in G. A. R. hall last night
upon the principles and doctrines of
that organization. The young gentle
man is good speaker. but he seems to
forget that the Democratic party has
been put in power and that the country
is safe.
THE EDITORS.
Santa Ana is pleased with the honor
conferred upon her in being selected as
the place for holding the next meeting
of the editorial association. A meeting
will be held in W:B. Taylor's law Office
tomorrow afternoon, when steps looking
to the proper reception and entertain
ment of the quill drivers will be taken.
It is proposed to take the editors to all
points of interest in this county, includ-
ing Capistrano and the old mission. A
lively interest in the matter of properly
receiving the editors is being taken, and
as Orange-county residents never do
things by halves good time is assured
the visitors.
VINES AND WINES.
A HERALD reporter, in a ride through
Orange county during the past week,
observed that many acres were planted
to vines, and that large increase will
be made to the acreage the present sea-
son. In conversation with many vine
yardists we were informed that the ter
rible vine disease that recently played
such havoc with the vineyards in Or
ange county was almost entirely eradi-
Gated, and that the new vineyards were
healthy and doing finely.
A larger quantity of wine was manu-
factured the past season than any since
the vine disease visited this section.
ANOTHER FOOT RACE.
Santa Anans are to see another foot
race next Monday, between Tom Morris,
the Orange county flyer, and Harry
Sloan Of Norwalk. The race is to be
held some time in the afternoon, and
the distance is to be $50 yards. The
purse is $1,000. Everybody in this county
knows just what Morris can do, but
Sloan is an unknown, hailing from Nor
to doughnut, however. that Morris
will defeat him.
BREvITIEs.
Santa Ana has 15 church organiza-
tions.
Mrs. G. G. Wright left this morning
for Oakland, where she will visit for
some time.
The Christian Alliance, which has
been in session in this city for several
days, closed today. An organization of
the alliance was made in this city, with
large membership and the following
officers: President, E. F. AmbrCee !;
secretary, Mrs. E. j. Ambrose; first
vice. president, Rev. ii. A. Booth; sec
ond vice-president, w. A. Bear; board

Twelve hundred pounds Of fish, caught
at Newport, were shipped to Los Angeles
today.
Santa Ana's public schools close for
the HOLIDAYS Friday;
Five carloads of corn were shipped to
Tacoma. Wash, from here this week.
Mrs. Mary A. Hoffman died suddenly
at her home in this city this morning,
aged AZ years. The deceased lady has
resided here for many years, and was a
respected resident.
A heavy frost this morning, but not
enough to injure the orange crop. A
genuine Santa Ana wind has been blow
ing all day.
There's war on in the camp of the
BARRIERS in this city, and there's apt to
be some trouble before it is settled.
1t seems from present appearances as
if the building of the Santa Ana and
Westminster railroad will fall through.
The projectors of this movement are
thoroughly disgusted with the outcome
of the suit against Sherman ct al, and
the following notice, which appears in
an evening paper published in this city,
means something: "All packages for
Newport, and also all freight heretofore
delivered at Spurgeon street, will here.
after be delivered at the Lumber Yard
station" and passengers for Newport
will take train at Santa Fe depot"
This may be taken to mean that the
company intend to abandon it's Second
street franchise and remove the track
rather than pay the damages awarded
bv the jury in the case just decided. If
this is so, it is a misfortune, and it is to
be deeply regretted. There are too
many milletones to Santa Ana's neck.
