Railroad Commissioner La Rue came to the Cit; terday, and to-day he and Dr. Stanton will determine on a date for an early meeting of the board. Attorney- General Fitzgerald will have at least nom- inal charge of the case, but special counsel mployed by the Commissioners. ves the full merits ing the justice of the legality of 's acts, and the constitu- the laws giving it power. cc tionali ty Pending the big legal battle, the commis- of sion_will be estopped from further pro ceedings in the line of rate reductions. It is recited in the course of many pages of the complaint among other things that the complainant is_a corporation existing under the laws of Kentucky and a citizen of that State; that the delendants derive all their authority and power from section article XII of the constitution, and m an of the Legislature approved April 15, 1880; that the complainant operates several lines of railroad, together with their rolling stock and equipments, which 1i es are operated as one railroad system, called its Pacific em, and that | he & nern Pa C any has a paid- | al stock of $120,934,170, d: istributed | ehold | 1s lines of railroad and the n El Paso, comprising the of the Southern Pacific rerated.

Said rates were, until 1894, no more than suf- ficient to operate the roads, ana in 1894, when the business depression set in, the complainant at these rates was unable to - pay the operating expenses and charges described. “Your orator further shows that from time to time reductions have been made in its rates of freights on various commodi- ties transported by it over the said rail- roads operated by it wherever the same has been possible, fair or reasonable, so that there has been a gradual and constant reduction in 1ts said rates of freight for 5 x years last past, and that the ton per mile derived by your rom the freight transported by it for the period commencing January 1, 1889, down to and including the 30th day of une, 1805, was as follows, to-wit: Revenue per ton per mile for 1889, $1 99 1891, §$1 84; 1892, §1 81; 1893, ; 1895 (to June 30), §1 24. $31,458,522 64 and the expendi- 1,734,785 34, leaving a deficiency t year oi $276,262 70. For the first )3 of 1895 the receipts are given 77 and the expenditures $16,- g o deficiency for that 1176 39. These expendi- operating expenses, luex:i nking fund payments an United States for the I e and economy in the i ion of its lines is alleged. For the year ending June 30, 1895, there were em- its big legal | Commis- | The complainant has in- | ployed seventy-one general officers, at a | daily average compensation of $16 25, or a ! yearly compensation of $361,079 04. Ex- clusive of general officers, for that year its employes numbered 15,064, the daily aver- age compensation was $2 54, and the yearly cost was $11,972,667 73. “‘Tenth—Your orator further avers that the ratesnow in force upon the several railronds operated by it as aforesaid have been fixed according to circumstances and conditions surrounding the traffic and with a careful regard for the financial, commercial and competitive conditions which enter into,affect or control the making and relative adjustment of rates and classifications and commodities in the territory traversed by said railroads, and are equitable and fair to the patrons of said railroads, and in many cases are now fixed at the actual cost of transportatién by reason of competition with other carriers by railroad and water.” The resolution adopted by the Board of Railroad Commissioners September 12, 1895, making the 8 per cent reduction at issue and declaring the intention to make a 25 per cent cut on other commodities, is recited, and also the service of the new schedule of grain rates on September 26. It is declared that the reductions were made arbitrarily and without any evidence showing that the reduced rates would be just or reasonable, but on the contrary all the evidence before the board showed the opposite. Such rates would work serious and irreparable injury to and destruction of the property and property rights of the complainant. As nearly as can be estimated it would diminish company more than $1,600,000, leaving them wholly insufficient operating expenses and fixed charges of the company, and the deficiency for next year would exceed $4,000,000. The pro- posed reduced rates would seriously affect the interstate business of the company besides. It is alleged that the defendants threaten to reduce passenger fares, which are just and reasonable, and thus further prevent the complainant from paying its expenses. | A strong point is sought to be made of the election of La Rue and Stanton on | party platforms, pledging the nominees to effect an average reduction in railroaa rates of 25 per cent. The defendants | named were elected because of that pledge, and the defendants (Stanton and La Rue) are alleged to be disqualified thereby {romf acting as members of the board | in freight rates. The action of Commissioners was not taken in good faith, it is alleged, but pursuant to that pledge without re- gard to the reasonableness of the proposed | reductions, and, therefore, the actions of | these defendants are void as to the com- | plainant and deprive it of its property | without due process of law and deny to | it the equal protection of the laws. Then, Commissioner La Rue is said to | be raising and shipping agricultural prod- | ucts, and as such has an interest in the re- ductions, and is disqualified. * | _The provisions of the constitution of | California and of the Legislative act which give the Railroad Commission its authority are attacked as in conflict with section 1 | of the fourteenth amendment to the con- stitution of the United States in making no provision for a hearing of a carrier, pro- | viding that the commission’s rates shall in |all civil or ecriminal controversies be deemed conclusively just and reasonable, | and making no provision fora judicial de- | termination of the justice of rates imposed. | A restraining injunction enjoining the defendants from adopting or putting into effect any schedule of rates in accordance with the said resolutions of the Board of | Railroad Commissioners, or from reducing | any of the passenger or freight rates of the complainant, or from instituting any action to enforce such reduced rates, | pending the hearing of the complaint, | is asked for. The complaint is signed by C. P. Huntington, president of the com any, W. F. Herrin, solicitor, and . M{artin, J. E. Foulds and E. 8. Pillsbury of counsel. WILLASKA CONTINUANCE: Serious Illness of Deuprey Causes a Delay in the Durrant Trial. An Irate Father Attempts to Cause the Arrest of One of the Jurors. It looks now as though a long delay in the Durrant trial may be inevitable. At- | torney Deuprey of the defendant’s counsel s 50 seriously ill as to be unable to leave his bed, and his condition is so serious that there is little likelihood of his being able to go to court for some days to come. As a result General Dickinson has decided | to ask for a continuance when the case is called this morning, and there is little doubt that it will be graated by Judge Murphy. District Attorney Barnes yes- terday notified General Dickinson that he would raise no objection to such a con- tinuance. Judge Murphy, therefore, is not expected to deny the motion, although he | has shown himself very much opposed to all delays. Mr. Deuprey was not able to be in court the last two daysof last week’s session, | and Sunday his ailment took another turn | for the worse. He is suffering from mus- | cular rheumatism of the most aggravated form, and is aimost constantly in great | pain. Last evening Dr. Palmer, his physician, thought Mr. Deuprey was some- what easier, but did not think his patient could attend court before a week or ten days, and perhaps much Jonger. Whether or not a prolonged continuance will be granted is not known. It remains pos- sible that instead of a few days, as was confidently supposed when court ad- iourned Friday, weeks may intervene be- ore the end of the famous trial shall have been reached. There seems to be another sensation im- pending in this most sensational of trials. The latest story concerns the statement which Miss Cunningham is expected to testify he saw, sealed, in Durrant’s hand, the statement inscribed, “To be opened if I am convicted and to be returned to me if I am not convicted.” 1t was reported yesterday that the packet had been taken | from General Dickinson’s office by a re- Eoner for an afternoon paper. The rumor eals also with the names of two men, whom, according to Miss Cunningham’s supEospd statement, Durrant says he saw in the belfry tower with Blanche Lamont. Both men have been on the witness-stand during the trial, and the implied accusa. tions made by Durrant's attorneys might have been based on this statement. sy JUROR SMYTH IN TROUBLE. Warrant Sworn Out for His Arrest on the Charge of Battery. Attorney Murasky appeared in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday, accom- panied by Charles H. Brodenstin, 2129 Broderick street, who swore out a warrant for the arrest of Horace Smyth, 2127 Broderick street, on the charge of battery upon his son, George. Mr. Brodenstin explained that his son was sitting on the fence in front of Mr. Smyth’s house on Sunday afternoon when Smyth crept up behind him and struck bim a violent blow on the back with his cane. The blow was so hard that the cane was broken. The boy had been confined to the house fromw the pain he was suffering. After Attornéy Murasky and Mr. Broden- stin had left with the warrant the Judge was informed that the defendant was one of the jurors in the Durrant case. He at once wrote out an order for his release on his own recognizance. The issuance of the warrant caused con- the revenues of the | to meet the| J. C. | eternation at police headquarters. Cap- tain Lees was under the impression that there was a section of the code that ex- empted a juror from arrest during the trial of the case, but he could not find it. The warrant had not been served up to a late hour last night, but the Judge's or- der for Smyth’s prompt release isin the City Prison. It is unlikely that the case wilf be heard till after the conelusion of the Darrant trial. GORMAN’S GREAT HITS. Exciting Game of Baseball at Central Park Between the Olympics and Pacifics. An exciting game of baseball was played in Central Park Sunday afternoon be- tween the Olympics and Pacifics. There was a large attendance, and the friends of the Pacifics seemed to be in the majority. The Olympics, up tothe sixth inning, had the best of the game, the score stand- ing 7 to3. In thesixth the Pacitics had three men on bases with two men out. Gorman went to bat and by a clean hit to left field two men got home. In the seventh inning the Olympics in- creased their score to 8. The Pacifics again got three men on bases, and Gorman again swiped the ball for a three-bagger and three men got home amidst the great- est excitement, as this tied the score. Be- fore the inning closea the Pacifies added three more runs, Stanley making a home run by sending the ball under the fence to the right field. Gorman was hugged and slapped by his admirers till his bones ached. In the next two innings neither team scored. The features of the game were Gorman'’s batting and Cosgrove’s fieiding. Cosgrove made a magnificent and difficult catch at right field. Iberg, pitcher for the Pacifics, was superseded by Murphy, as he ran against the first baseman while the latter was trying to cateh a ball. The Pacifics won by a score of 11 to 8. ——————— CONDEMNED A SIOK OOW. Milk Inspector Dockery Continues His Active Crusade. Milk Inspector Dockery shifted his thor- ough going work yesterday and attacked the milk ranches directly; that is, the make-shift, swill-fed, ramshackle affairs that pass as milk ranches. Out on the San Bruno road he discov- ered a cowpen in which were several poor animals afflicted with various degrees of tuberculosis. One of them was in such an advanced stage of the disease that Veteri- nary Surgeon Creeley, who accompanied Milk Inspector Dockery, at once advised that she be killed. An order to that effect was carried out at once. The owner stood by, but he real- ized that he was in such awkward straits that he made no protest. The carcass was left on the ground, and the chances are that it will be fed to the chickens. The other animals were carefully examined and notes made of their condition. The owner was warned that he must do some- thing for them or take the penalty of the law. Samples of milk were taken for sub- mission to the tests of the bacteriamogist. Milkman Roberts, who furnished some of the condemned milk to the City and County Hospital, will be arrested to-day. e ———— UNHEALTHY SCHOOLS. A List of Them Will Be Handed to the Board of Health. Health Officer Lovelace has made out a list of the grammar and primary public schools which he believes should be closed until the proper sanitary improvements are made. The list, which is as follows, will be handed to the Board of Health for consideration at its meeting to-morrow : Humboldt Primary, Starr King Primary, Frankline Grammar, Stanford Primary, Cleve- iand Primary, Whittier Primary, Longiellow Primary, Rincon Primary, Jefferson Primary, John Swett Grammar, _South .

At a meeting of the Coast Seamen’s Union last evening reports were read to the effect that the efforts of the Ship-owners’ Association to reduce sailors’ wages at Seattle, Port Town- send and San Diego have proved failures. The sailors believe that the ghip-owners have abandoned the movement for the present. CALIFORNIA- CHAMPAGHE, The Recognition Won by the Goods of Paul Masson of San Jose. Used on the Tables of the Very Best Circles of American Soolety. Nothing has been done with more jus- tice to home production than the state- ment of a contemporary that ‘‘the Paul Masson champagne has excited numerous inquiries as'to its origin, place and meth- ods of production.” For years it has not been denied that California produces an excellent wine, but until recently there has been a doubt ex- pressed as to whether a good California champagne could be made from it. This distrust existed principally in the minds of connoisseurs. Perhaps the very latest fault-finding was that the quality of native wine was all right, but California growers had not the experience necessary to bring their champagne to that degree of perfec- tion where a favorable comparison could be made with the French article, It devolved upon such men as Paul Mas- son of San Jose to arrive at that point in the production of champagne. In doing this he has been largely instrumental in making Santa Clara County famousasa wine-producing section of this State. He not only taught irl&)c-growern a valuable lesson, but furnishe groof of the superi- ority of Santa Clara County by demon- strating the capability of the soil for pro- ducing the very best results in cham- | pagne. It must now be admitted that our redecessors are not our superiors in this ine. The pcpnxnritv of Paul Masson’s “Special Dry” and “Extra Dry” has grown steadily eversince these brands were placed on the market. ~In some localities | they have entirely superseded the French product, and wherever known the demand increases. was over a hali-million bottles, ~ This champagne has a reputation on both conti- nents for high qualit&and perfectly main- tained uniformity. Mr. Masson makes but one grade—the ~ best—while in France from three to four grades are produced. In France it often occurs that the wine does not contain sufficient natural sugar to create the second fermentation at the time of bottling, and other sugar must be added. Mr. Masson has not found it necessary to use any artificial aids. Thus the Paul Masson wine is the pure juice of the grape—a perfect sparkling wine, made without the artificial use of gas, and pro- duced by the true process of unaided fer- mentation in the bottle. To-day the Paul Masson Champagne is not only the favor- ite wine on the North German Lloyds, where it established itself at once on Mr. Oelrichs’ first recommendation, but its gonulnrity on all of the Pacific Coast teamship Company’s and_the Spreckels Bros.’ steamers has carried its fame from San Diego to New Zealand and Aus- tralia. It is now placed in the front rank of the first-class champagnes in the esti- mation of connoisseurs and at the tables of the very best circles of American society, Last season the annual product | MRS, FOLTZ HOME AGAIN The Dean of the Portia Club Talks of Her Experiences Abroad. SOON TO LEAVE SAN FRANCISCO. Graphic Description of the Wreck of the Channel Steamer Seaford. Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz is at home again after an absence of several months spent in touring England and continental | Europe. She arrived in the City Sunday | morning, but so quiet was her coming that few relatives and none of her friends knew | of it. All yesterday, however, she was be- | sieged with visitors, and when night came the founder of the Portia Law Club, and incidentally the most famous woman jurist in America, was completely tired out. Mrs. Foltz talks charmingly of her Eu- Topean travels and the historical places visited, but in all her experiences it is doubtful if there is anything more in- made the steamboat geople understand that I was somewha t of a lawyer myself they readily paid the amount of my claim. They endeavored to explain that the accident was an act_of Providence, but I cov d not see it just that way. The rep- resentative of the company said there were several questions abouf maritime law which women could not understand, but when I gave him my card he quickly changed iis tune. He mumbled some- thin, about _Lord So-and-So be‘mé at Brighton and Duke S8omebody-Else off on a hunting trip, and then asked me to call again, as the matter would be considered. 1 told him plainly that he must have these titled gentfemen at the office nextday, prepered to pay the amount of my claim or there would be trouble. The result was that when I next called they gave me a check for the amount.” s The stay of Mrs. Foltz in S8an Francisco is to be of short duration. It has been rumored for some time that she intended to give up her local law practice, and she now confirms the story. x I shall take up the practice of law in New York at a very early period,” she said yesterday, “and haye already been- re- tained by two firms doing a large foreign business. I leave California with regret, mainly because of the family ties which go to make one’s home dear.

[Reproduced from an engraving in Munsey’s Magezine.] tensely interesting, either in fact or fiction, than her recital of the wreck of the chan- nel steamer Seaford, on which vessel she was a passenger, and later the prompt manner in which she called the English company down, finally making them pay for every piece of baggage lost. Inci- dentally she pays a delicate and well-timed compliment to the efficiency of the Eng- lish seamen, “We, that is, my daughter Virginia and myself, took the steamer Beaford at Dieppe,” said Mrs. Faltz yesterday, in telling the story of her adventure. “Our faces were turned homeward, by way of London. Very naturally our trunks were full of beautiful wearing apparel and bric- a-brac, obtained in the twofreat European cities. For a short time I remained on deck to enjoy the fresh sea breeze and to catch the first elimpse of the English coast. A heavy fog coming up, however, I went below, and on the way noticed the captain at one of the tables, enjoying a hearty lunch. I had scarcely reached my daughter when a heavy crash came, and 1 instinctively knew that something terrible had happened. The Seaford had been run into by the heavy channel freighter Lyon. I cannot describe the feeling which came over me, but something seemed to say that the steamer was doomed, and so, snatching up my golf coat and umbrella, i pushed my daughter ahead of me up the stepsJeading to the deck. As I started up the companionway I called to those near- est that the steamer was sinking, but the stewardess severely reprimanded me, assuring the passengers at the same time there was no danger, I did not mind this, however, but again exclaimed that the vessel was sinking, and that they must lose no time in getting on deck. The steamer’s heavy laboring convinced me that this was s0. On deck we found the crew getting the boats ready with mechan- ical precision. I called for a life-preserver, which was promptly furnished me by one of the crew, but_as I did not know how to Em, it on my daughter he did it for me. y this time all the passengers, 865 in number, were on deck, and the crew, like so many machines, began to fit them with life-preservers, I had often keard of the erfect discipline of these trained crews, ut their work on this occasion convinced me that their knowledge of just what to do was as perfect as human agency could be. They-understand just such emergencies, and are so trained that no order: are neces- sary. Stokers and engine men, black with coal dust and besmeared with oil, fell to work without a word. *‘It is & matter of history now how the gaesengern were sayed from the ill-fated Seaford, but just the same there were any number of heroic acts on the part of crew | and passengers. One incident I recall par- ticularly. A woman attempted to jum abgard the Ifon. but the vessel sheered of too far, and the poor creature fell be- tween the two. Quicker than it takes to tell it, a seaman glunxed over- board and two more let themselves down the side to the Lyon by means of tackle. The woman was drawn up first, and then the seaman who at the im- minent risk of hislife had plunged be- tween the two ships to effect her rescue. In less than twenty minutes from the time the Lyon struck us the Seaford went down, and I shall never forgat that sight aslong as I live. Hardly had the Lyon sheered off from the poor old laboring Sea- ford when the latter's boilers burst.” The sea was slowly closing over the deck when there came a tremendous upheaval amid- ships, and a column of water, a- fect niagara of cascades, shot skyward. It was agrand awe-inspiring sight and one I am not likely to forget.. * “I had some difficulty in recoverin; damages for my lost baggage, but when grow in strength and usefulness with the increnainf intelligence and tolerance of the Eeople. t' will never cease to have my est wishes and most earnest support.” Mrs. Foltz will remain in San Francisco about two weeks and then depart for her new home and wider field of labor. DEATH OF GENERAL KEVES A Well - Known Californian Succumbs at Nice at the Age of 85. He Was a Veteran of the Regular Army and a Ploneer of This State. Advices from Nice, France, announce the death of General E. D. Keyes, at the age of 85 years. General Keyes was well known in this Btate, having been a resident of Napa Val- ley and a large property-owner in this City. Among other enterprises he organized the Humboldt Savings Bank, and he was the owner of a hotel bearing his name on Stockton and O’Farrell streets. General Keyes was born in Hampden County, Mass., in 1810, and came of a fam- ily prominent in the history of New Eng- land. He was admitted to West Point in June, 1828. He was graduated in June, 1832, and immediately entered the service in a cam- aign against the Indian chief Blackhawk. hile on the way to Fort Dearborn, on the site of Chicago, he was attacked with cholera and retarned to West Point. In 1837 he was wedded to Miss Caroline M. Clarke of Boston. He was at that time at- tached to the staff of General Scott. He was appointed Chief of the Department of Artillery and Cavalry at West Poiant in 1844, and held the position until 1848, He was then transferred to the command of the Presidio. : ¢ The gold excitement dissipated his sol- diers and he took up civil engineering. He was soon appointed City Engineer at a salary of $1000 a month and, having about $10,000 a month on arriving here, laid the foundation of a fortune, which was swept away by fire in 1851 He suppressed sev- eral Indian uprisings on this coast. In 1859 he was transferred to Washington as military secretary of General Scott. The strengthening of the Union forts and the raising and equipment of soldiers for the Civil War was intrusted to him by Presi- dent Lincoln. He was appointed briga- dier-general of volunteers May 17, 1861, and took part in the battle of Bull Run. He received official recognition for his conduct in this engagement. He sue- ceeded General Buell when the latter was sent to the West. He received appoint- ment as major- general of volunteers April, 1862, for the part he took in the battle of Williamsburg. He distinguished himself at the battle of Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill and Seven Pines. He resigned on account of censure for a failure in a movement against Richmond in 1863, which censure he considered un- just. After his retirement he returned to this State and settled in Napa Valley, but made several trips East and abroad. e A Johnstown Victim’s Estate.
