SANTA ANA, Dec. 5.-The fact that this
is leap year led the HERALD represent
ative to the county clerks Office this
morning for the express purpose OF look
ing over the marriage license book for
the past year. 1t is an interesting
volume and we'll worth perusing. Mar
riage may be failure, and if it is there
have been So failures in Orange county
thus far this year, for that number OF
licenses have been issued. II is gener-
ally conceded that the large number is
due to the fact that handsome d. T.
Brock generally issues the license, and
he always smiles approvingly when ap-
preached for the valued paper. Which
is the most popular month for weddings /?
Well, now, fairy May, with her wealth
of flowers, June, the month OF roses,
and August, with her warm sun
shine, are not. In this county
it is November. During the past
year marriage licenses were issued in
January, in February, Z in March, 8
in April, in May, 10 i'll June, in July,
5 in August, in September, 8 in Octo-
ber, IA in November, and thus far this
month. This would seem TO indicate
that the girls were coming in on the
homestretch.
GOES TO JAIL.
Oscar O. Wells was up before Judge
Towner this morning for the last time.
The motion for new trial, made by his
attorneys some time ago, and which had
been taken under advisement by the
Judge. was denied, and Wells was SEN
fenced to is months in San Quentin.
The charge for which this man has been
convicted was assault with a deadly
weapon, and has been before the court
for over year. Wells, in fit of tenn
per, hit his little stepson with g large
rock upon the shoulder blade, breaking
the bone and manning the lad for life.
He is a worthless character, still all
who were in the court room this morning
could but pity his wife and little child.
RESIGNED.
Rev. P. B. Jackson, the pastor OF the
First Congregational church OF this city,
rendered his resignation at the morning
services yesterday. The cause of this is
i'll health, and his inability to longer
fulfill bis duties as pastor. Action on
the matter will be taken at meeting to
be held Thursday night. The resigna-
tion of Mr.. Jackson is regretted by all
religious people Of this city, as he is one
of the most able preachers OF the gospel
in the county.
RIGHT -OF.wAY SUIT.
Santa Ana and Westminster Railway
company vs.. Sherman ct al. is the title
of troublesome right. .ofway suit that
trial was begun upon in the superior
court of this county today. The case is
likely to last for several days, for large
number of witnesses will be examined.
The suit is instituted to secure the right
OF way over property through which the
above railway company wishes to run
track. 1t is to be hoped that the mat
