SANTA ANA.
The saivattonists--A Sensational Scene
at tho Track-Idle Men.
SANTA ANA, Sept. 25.-They gave the
halleluiah baby away at the Salvation
Army last night in the presence of 800
people. 1t was large time for the Sal
vationists in this city, and not less than
$50 was taken in at the door. Two new
recruits were sworn in and the army is
growing in this city every week. The
SalvationistH are doing splendid work in
Santa Ana.
AN IRATE MOTHER.
$50 back to Los Angeles, and never
set foot in this city again p was
what an irate mother said to a
former Santa Ana young lady in
front OF one OF the hotels of this city
this morning. "You are not good
enough to marry my son, and do not
want you to be bothering him." But
the young lady addressed has not left
town yet; and, in fact, she says she will
not. The young man in the case--it is
more than probable he will have to
marry the yoang lady in question before
he gets ont Of the scrape he is in, as the
girl claims he has ruined her. Sensa-
tional developments are expected in
TIE very neor future.
AT THE TRACK.
Since Santa Ana is given over to horse
racing talk these days, it might be we'll
to remark that Silkwood went mile to-
day in 2:1l% quite easily. The horse is
doing we'll, although the hoof upon
which are the two quarter cracks is in
very bad shape and apt to pive way at
any time.
Gifford's horses are doing better. Alta
Reina is getting right ond will be for
midable starter in the 2: :27 trot.
Sam Goldstein has q yearling PAGER
that promises to be world beater. The
youngster is bred to 60, and has went
miles lately in 3:05 and better with
scarcely any work. The genial Sam is
looking for special race with some one
who has speedy yearling to 20 against
his flyer. 81 ff esssr
P. Hodges has his stringin fine shape.
Nearly all his horses ore from Los An
geles, and they are good ones, too. The
promising one of the string is Credit, the
Mckinney colt, the property OF Mr..
Gardiner of Los Angeles.
The runners are getting better. The
2-year-old, Cherokee, in Tierney's string
will soon be himself again, although he
has been very sick horse. He will not
start in the races here. Broadchurch,
in the same stable, is doing we'll.
Marco Fosters horses are getting in
shape and Nancho B. will be a strong
horse in the mile and a quarter dash.

tional stalls and doing other work on
the grounds, and the track is being put
in the best of condition.
Early next week the pavilion will be
arranged, and the secretary's Office will
be moved to Spurgeon's opera house.
Nearly all the racers from the north
will arrive early next week, and already
large numbers are securing accommoda-
tions for the week.
PAID OFF.
A large number OF harvest hands were
paid off at the San Joaquin ranch today,
having completed threshing. Over
$1,000 was paid to the men today, being
part of the pay for handling the largest
grain crop ever harvested in the valley.
The work is not yet over with many of
the threshers.
THE WORLDS FAIR EXHIBIT.
The latter part OF this week the Or
ange County Worlds Fair association
will ship carload OF vegetables to add
to the display which the county already
has in the white city. This will be the
best part of the display. for the car will
be loaded with the largest pumpkins,
the best potatoes, the finest corn,
onions, beets and citrons that the
famous Santa Ana valley can produce.
This is sufficient to insure that the
products will be immense. Every day
brings letters of inquiry from persons
intending to locate here and who are
desirous of learning more about this
goodly land. The Orange county ex-
hibit has undoubtedly done much good
to the county.
THE SUPERVISORS.
The supervisors have been in session
today, the principal object of the meet
ing being the formal fixing OF the tax
levy, as published in the HERALD laet
week. The river work also came up for
consideration, and the contract for the
driving of 1900 piles was let to Mr..
Leadbetter, who will receive $1.25 for
each pile driven. The piles are to be
set 12 feet deep. One hundred men are
at work in the river bed now, and every
thing is moving finely. The Santa Fe
company will furnish rock for the en-.
bankment near the Orange bridge, the
rock to be brought from the company's
quarry in Riverside county free OF
charge. One gang of men is at work
near the Olive bridge. while the other
crew is working below the Fifth street
bridge.
MORE IDLE MEN.
Every day finds the number OF idle
men increasing in this city, and today
the number was swelled by the quitting
of two threshers and the letting off OF
40 hands. There is absolutely nothing
for laborers to do here now, for the beet
and grain harvests are over. Marshal
Nichols says that nearly all the idle men
hanging about the city would work II
