He thought that this was a | matter that should be settled at once | and not be allowed to hang fire and de- | velop into a matter of serious annoyance | later on. Judge Slack acknowledged that the is- sues to be presented to the jury should be | agreed upon as soon as possible, and he | instructed tize attorneys on both ' sides to | be prepared o elucidate on this point im- mediately after recess. | Mr. Delmas then objected again to the | deed. This time he areued that the plaintiffs really had no right to introduse any evidence at all, because the averments in the answer to the cross-complaint did t constitute an equitable defense. This a technical point, he said. and he of- izred it for the purpose of getting a ruling on the record. The court formally overruled the objec tionand an exception was noted. Then the deed was admitted, as several others, all of which went to make up the valuable parcel ot land at Pine and San- some strests claimed now by the ex tors of the Fair estate. Then the disputed Craven deeds were introduced and went into evidence without specitic objection. These deeds were handed to the jury and the inspection of them consumed consid- erable time. This done the first witness was called to the stand. He was Attorney Eugene W. Levy, before whom Mrs. Craven made a deposition on August 28, 1396, Mr. Levy the depo and the | Mrs. Craven, he said, lady’s signature. bed when he ad vas ill and 1n when she signed the document.

Judge Slack said he had so frequently spoken to the jury on this point that he thought it was scarcely necessary to refer | to it again. The long table at which sit the attor- | vs for Mrs. Craven was graced by an ad- ditional legal champion yesterday in the son of Judge Curtis of New York, the ebr: will smasher.” The Judge's participation in the proceedings of the | day consisted chiefly of taking a part in ich took place now and associates.

They produced three witnesse i swore they saw the deceased mil- lionaire in San” Rafael. Their memories were very fertile as regards that partigutar | date, but they cut rather an unenvitble specizcle when Mr. Delmas got at them under ~cross-examination, and demon- strated that they couid remember little or nothing else except that one date. Delmas slso found considerabls | action in bringing out the fact, tbrough these witnesses, that the San 3 co Police Dspartment, instead of devoting its energies to the taxpayers, who assessed for the support of the department, has been doing nearly ali of the evidence-hunting and witness-buzzing | for the plaintiffs in this case; thatit has | been strangely aclive in assisting one side in a purely civil case.

The witness saw ibem come out of the Parisian Hotel and get into the hotel bus. Shearer sald be also took that train and rode acrossthe bay | with them. That is all,” said Mr. McEnerney. The attorneys for the detense held a conference, and then Mr. Delmas said they would postpone the cross-examination, and would ask that the witness be in- structed to remain in court.

But this was not exactly what Mr. Me- Enerney wanted. He desirea Jewell to say more, and essayed o cross-examine him. This, of course, elicited an objection from the defense and resulted in the striking out of considerable of Jewell's evidence. There was some clever fencing between the atiornevs before McEnerney succeeded in giving his witness the cue under the pre- text of enlightening the court as to what he intended to prove by the witness. Jewell now proceeded to remember. He had received an order on the previous day, he said, to have the bus call for Sen- ator Fair on Monday in time to catch the 12:45 iram. The boy who drove the bus ported to the wituess that when he called for him the Senator could not go, as he w not well.

He gave tand that he was very positive t that day, but, of couse, not becanse t was the day the Senator is said to ave written the pencil will and delivered the d-eds to Mre. Craven over on this side of the bay. ““What da; d the 19th of September, 1894, fall on?” asked Mr. Delmas. 5 Jewell started in to fizure it up and was 50 loug about it that everybodv in the courtroom began to snicker. When he did finally hit it Mr. Delmas w: Know how it was that the witness could remember that the 24th fell on Monday and had to do so much thinking and head-scratching to get the day of the 19th straightened out in his mind. “Onb, 1 looked it up on the calendar,” said Jewell. From thison Jewell found bimself in deep water and floundered about considerably. He confessed that eymour probably reminded him of ihe date; that Shearer ha. also impressed it upon him that the 24th of September fell on Monday and the 25th on Tuesday, and that in order to belp along his memory he had hunted up the San Rafael newspaper files. He admitted thatif he bad not gone through this process he would not have remembered much about the affair at all. D. N. Schneider, a lad who had just | reached his majority and who acts as a clerk in his father’s cigar-store in San Rafael, was the nexi witness, He testi fied that he saw Senator Fair in San Ra- fael on the 24th of 8 ptember. He re- membered distinctly and could not be mistaken as long as Mr. McEnerney asked the questions, but when cross-examined by Mr. Delmas he sbowed that his mind was a counterpart of Jewell's. He could not remember within three | | months the date of any other event in which he and the Fair case were identi- fied. His mind was almost a blank as to | the dates on which he received his sub- penas and, in fact as regarded anything else except the day he said he saw Senator Fair. He, too, had seen a good deal of Detective Seymour and had visited Cap- tain Lees’ office to receive his fees and mileage. ticular conversa- [ THE ACTORS OF A DAY IN THE CELEBRATED FAIR LITIGATION. “‘The Conflict of Sclence.” David Starr Jor- an, LL.D,, president Leland Stanford Jr. Uni- versity. ““I'he Function of Universitiesin Religion, | Professor George Holmes Howison, LL.D. anted to | | HasBrouck, Rev. | son, *Co-operation of Religion and Sdience in Up- lifting Humanity,” Professor Joseph Lz Conte, LL.D, Woman and Religion,” Rounsvilie Alger.

He concluded with the sentiment that the greatness of religion is its recognition of the preatness of life and the splendid pos- sibilities of a future. Bi-bop Wiiliam Ford Nichols dealt cau- tiously with the theme assigned him, stating that he could readily rai-e a di pute should he venture to state some things be believed which others would bitterly deny. “But good fences muke good neighbors,”” he said, “‘but there is a bandgrasp and a heartgrasp which we can indulge in without talking bosh and without pretending that we all believe in | the same things.”’ Bishop Nichols told many zood stories and kept his auditors in a pleasant mood. President David Starr Jordan's paper wes heard with marked attention. He said: “Every tie on the Panama Railroad is said to have cost a human life, and every step in the progress of scieuce has cost'a human life, and the lives thus lost have been of the wisest and best that mankind has produced. It takes a life- time in the battle of science to discover a fact, and when discovered it has always been found that society is conservative, its natural inertia repeiling new notiona. “‘But it 18 true that thers is a religious sentiment in man, and if every fragment of the church and creed were destroyed to-morrow & new church would spring out of the conditions of life. Thus it is seen that much of the struggle of science with error has wrongly been called its fight with religion. It has been said that theologians lie strangled about the giant Science as strangled snakes were found about Hercules, but it should be said rather that science has thus strangled error and made advances. Much ol the religion of to-day is only the debris of our grandfathers’ science. ~A study of the growth of knowledge is the best antidote {0 bigotry. To come in when it rains is the basis of meteorology, and to separate the sheep from the goats is the basis of Professor Howison did not agree with the views of President Jordan. He believed that it ought to be the function of uni- versities (0 teach trae theology and that the churches ought to take their theolozy from the universities, the use of the cuurckes being for edification. ~Ii you judge religion wholly by its historic phases,” he ssid, “lit has been a Christ promised when he said he had come to bring, not peace, but a sword. Toere is more dissension and there are more schisms in the churches to-day than at any time in their history. The whale question of belief is approached in the wrong way. Itis wrong to believe in | one unchanging interpretation, but inde- pendent research ought to reach one con- clusion in relizion, as it does in science. Frofessor Josepn Le Conte drew a graphic picture of what the world would be if the moral side of man were up to his intellectual level—a kingdom of peace, truth, jastice, love and freedom. “The mission of science is in a great measure the discovery of truth,’” he said, “and science shows the gradual growth of the universe :0 higher conditions. It has come from death to life, then to reason, Science has solved the great probiems one aiter another, and wiil yei solve tie protlems of sociology and ood vernm- nt—highest of all prob- lems.

The committee reported that the alle- gations contained in Elder Roberts’ letter were not in proper form to be legally be- fore the body, and 1t recommended that the letter be not read in the presbytery. Rev. J. Woodworth and others at once argued that nothing ought to b: done in secrecy and that the letter ought to be r th by es- mittee’s report was finally adopted, much to the regret of Elder Rober.s, who at once arose and suid: “‘Several members have sugzested that 1 be invited to speak. May I now be ac- corded that privilege?” *Not without the consent ot the presby- tery,” said the moderator. Then several me:mbers objected to open- spoke up skarply, saying: “Then give we my letter and T'll trouble you no further. 1should also like a copy of the committee’s report.” He then put on his hat and left the room with some feeling. There was ‘an important report by the committee on narration, the theme being, in a general way, the status of religion. From the report it appeared that there have been regular meetings of all the | church societies, Sunday-schools and churches during the year, but the report | deprecates the ralling off of interest in re- | ligion and concludes in this way: ome encouraging indications are manifest a jew of the churches, but on the whole ihere does not seem to be any real advance. Some of the churehes report no new members. One reporis a sing member and anothor two. The numb by two of the lurgest and strongest churches is eleven and twelye, while the Japanese church reports twenty and ibe Chinese seventeen. The things reported as militating against the growth of reiigion are, “the float:ng popu- lation, lack of employment, and a prevuiing | apatny concerning reiigioi, with a growing love of woridiy pleasure.” Rev. Mr. Mathena reported on Sunday- schools, recommending that the shorter catechism be used in Sunday-schools and that the Presbyterian Union be indorsed. After this the presvytery adjourned sine die.

It Is Expected That the Adoption of This P.an Will Effectualiy Pre- vent Scalping. By the action taken by the Southern Pa- cific Company vesterday it is as good as settled that a $25 rate from Chicago to San Francisco will be fixed for the Endeavor- ers’ convention, Ever since it had been announced that a $50 round-trip rate had been agreed upon there had been more or less apprehension that it would be rescinded, owing to the danger of wholesale scalping that such a rate would probabiy engender. And when the Snpreme Court decided against raii- road combinations and pools it was thought that this combination rate would come under the ban of illegality. Sucp, however, was not the case. But the scalping danger continued prominent in the minds of some of the roads, and quiet efforts were made by jsome of them to have the $50rate re- scinded. One of the strongest opponents to such action was the Southern Pacific. Its representative declared that this rate had been promised; that the jocal people interested had made all tieir preparations in anticipetion of the low rate bringing large numbers to Sau Francisco, and that hundreds of intending excursionists all over the United States based their coming on the same proposition. The Scuthern Pacific even went so far as to threaten to cnt loose from all the Eastern roads on this particular matter, and to carry intending visitors to this City for 850 for the round trip over its Sunset route, via New Orleans, Several days ago the suggestion was made by some of the Western roads to sel! tickets from Chicago to San Francisco for 4§25, and to aiso charge the same figure for the return passage. At first, the Southern Pacific felt disposed to oppose this ar- rangement, but was finally induced to consent. The rate already bas the approval of most of the interested roads. It 1s expected that this plan of selling tickets separately each way will effectually suppress all scaiping in connection with the Endeavorers’ convention. It is also likely to bring many to this coast who would not otherwise come. As this low rate will be obtainable ata date more than two months irom the present time, it will give time for many home- seekers to take advantage of it, so that with the flux of Endeavorer delegates there may also come an army of immi- grants: Returning visitors will be granted stop- over privileges in_California, so that they will have ample time to learn by personal experience the advantages and beauties of Jife in the Golaen State.
