POMONA SOCIETY.
A Surprise About the wedding OF Two
Young People.

A Surprise AbOus the wedding of Two
Young People.
Pomona society people are much ex-
ercised about the discovery that Miss
Belle Terry, niece OF the late General
Terry of the United States army, and
Oscar Craig are married.
Mr.. Craig, who is about % yea RS of
age, has been very attentive to Miss
Terry for some time. 1t has Just been
learned that in the latter part of jan
uary. while she was at San Diego, Miss
Terry was welded to Mr.. Craig. Both
of the young people soon came back to
Pomona. and kept the matter perfectly
secret, each returning to their respective
homes and giving no Indication that
they had become bride and groom. No
reason is known for their having acte
in this manner, other than the desire
to mystify and surprise their friends.
Mr.. Craig is wealthy young man, q
son of Rev. Craig, who was moderator
at the synod which tried Professor Briggs
for heresy. He has secured charming
bride, and all is we'll after their little
masquerade as bachelor and maid.

REV. NESBIT'S FAILURE.
POMONA PEOPLE MUCH EXCITED
OVER THE AFFAIR.
A Presbytsrian Minister From ssdaIia
Who Owes Considerable Money
TO Number of
People.

Pomona people were ali upset yester-
day when the news spread about town
OF the financial collapse OF Rev. A. W.
Nesbit, who has been one of the prom'-
mont supposed capitalists of that place.
Rev. Nesbit came to Pomona from
Ssdalia, Mo-, some few years ago, and it
was understood brought with him 3
large amount of money. He had been
a Presbyterian minister and is q man of
activity and energy.
Some days ago bank examiner, going
through the resources of the Peoples
bank, found some of Mr.. Nesbit's paper
and ordered the bank to at once collect
on it, They proceeded TO do so, but
found it impossible, and as investiga-
ton proceeded it was discovered that he
owed others, and in consequence an at
tachment was put on his property. This
brought forth other claims, and as q re-
suit it is claimed that while his liabili-
ties are large his assets are small and
not likely to go around.
A HERALD reporter yesterday learned
of the following claims against Mr.. Nes-
bit, none OF the creditors, it is alleged.

CoLEGRovE, March 21.-Excepting
Saturday and Monday, whsn stiff north
west winds prevailed, the weather for
some time has been delightful. 1t has,
in fact, been almost too pleasant to suit
the farmers, who would not at all object
to a good soaking rain, though the
ground is quite moist, as yet, and field
crops and trees are making a vigorous
growth.
Over eight inches OF rain has fallen
80 far this season, and there is every
reason to expect plenty more before the
season ends. The average seasonal rain
fall at this place, for period of 2years,
has been 1857 inches. Up to the 1st Of
January this seasons rainfall amounted
to about q of the usual fall TO that date.
Since January 1st, however, the fall has
b cen only "a inches, or about ID of
what usually falls in the frat three
months of the year. Aowver, March is
not gone yet, and April and May are
both rainy months, the former averag-
ing about Ia and the latter q of an

The Oahuenga Valley railroad is do
ing q heavy business, especially on
Saturdays and Sundays. The road
should no longer be called the dummy"
line, as the motive power now employed
is as fine locomotive as any Of its size
in the country. The rolling etock is
good, and the roadbed we'll ballasted, so
that trip over the road is as pleasant
a one as a person could wish. On week
days six trains are run each way over
the road, and on Sundays and holidays
two extra trains. An earlier morning
and later evening train would be a
great accommodation to the many car
penters and other mechanics who come
out from Los Angeles to work on the
numerous new buildings now going up.
These early and late trains would also
be patronized to a considerable extent
by residents OF the valley, and, better
than all, would prove an inducement for
many people whose vocations require
! their daily presence in the city, to make
their homes in this pleasant suburb.
Messrs. Hurd and Goodenow, the pro-
prietors OF the road, are enterprising
men and will no doubt act on this sug-
gestion without delay.

Iu addition to providing for this in.

to make the existing plant available for
the purposes for which it was con-
etructed. A new dam will have to be
built to increase the capacity to 80 feet.
The foundation for this structure is
already laid, at cost of about $50,
but it will cost 100000 to finish the
job. The canal, on which $3.50, 900 has
already been spent, will require, it is
estimated. 100000 more to finish it in
proper shape. Other outlays will be
required, the details of which will apr

Meantime, the pressing liabilities
that have to be met are Taxes. $50, 900 !:

Resolved, That the board of education,

We find from the admissions of the
prosecution in the case of Roy Booker
against his teacher that the boy de-
served the severest punishment justified
in our schools. By williul disobedience
the boy has made himself legally liable
to expulsion, and we believe his mother
and friends should stand by the disci-
pline OF the schools and see that the
scholar obeys the teacher. The board
consents to bis remaining in the schools
only during good conduct, and if he re-
fuses to obey the teacher or otherwise
grounds he shall at oncs be expelled
from the schools.
The lad has been transferred to the

ishes those of his friends who have any
influence over him to use it.

that Santa Ana has no organization of
bicycle riders, having so many of as fine
amateurs as are to be found on the
coast.
There is not a bicycle club in Orange
county, but just why no one can tell.
The roads in the county are equal,
If not superior, to those in other
parts OF the state, ard good runs can be
found for distances ranging from one to
90 miles.
What is known among local wheel
men as the kite-shaped track is 1131
miles in length, over smooth, level
road, without a single heavy grade on
the whole course. The Orange county
cyclists should take advantage of the
many opportunities within their reach.
