by FroSt-Notes


SANTA ANA. Nov. 2S-The residence
of Mr.. w. H. Tedford at Newport, six
miles southwest of Santa Ana, was
burned this morning about o'clock.
The fire started from an explosion Of
gases from a roofing paint. Mr.. Ted
ford was repainting his roof, and the
paint, being cold, was too thick for use
and he placed 1t over the stove in the
kitchen to warm it. A gentleman was
sitting in the room, when the paint
took fire, and gave the alarm, but the
blaze so completely filled the room that
it was impossible to enter 1t in order to
extinguish the fire. which soon got such
headway that it was only with great
exertion that any of the contents of the
house could be removed, and all that was
removed was so damaged as to be al
most useless.
i Mr. Tedford came to town this MORN
ing to report to the agent of the Hart
ford, with which company the property
was insured for $500. The house orig
irally cost $500, and with furniture will
amount to about $4,000. Mr.. Tedford was
| the only one who received any injury,
he having his face severely scorched
when he attempted to enter the kitchen.

good training.
| Mr.. Wolf, who lives east of Fair
view. reports that the frost of the night
of the 26th inst. nipped tender orange
trees, killed tomatoe vines and froze
pumpkins in his section.
| This is the only damage yet reported
I in Orange county.

At 10 o'clock this morning a special
Santa Fe train loaded with the silken
banner and various Republicans who
were likewise loaded with confidence,
prosperity and enthusiasm, pulled out
for San Juan.
Much is expected from this exhibition
| of Republicanism. but it may not reach
| the mark intended. as Win Phillips says
| Hanna did not plank up enough of the
yellow dust to make it all that was
| expected.
Some persons say that the demonstra-
| tion will be somewhat on the order OF
Columbus reception by the natives when
he made his first landing and that there
| will be some difficulty in deciding to
| whom the silken banner belongs.
Whether to Egan the gold Democrat, OF
to Foster, the Republican, that really
| honors are easy between these two, as
to the credit for the great Republican
majority of San Juan.
Shows still flow toward Santa Ana.
Between home products and importa-
tions every night calls somebody some

| On Tuesday night in Spurgeon's hall
will be exhibited a miniature duplica-
tion of the old Jewish tabernacle, and
on Wednesday Miss Yaw Is advertised
