THE Police Commissioners, after a
short lucid interval, took another bad
turn yesterday, and went into one Of
their worst escesses of lunacy. Having
during previous spells "ired" the body
of the police force, they yesterday went
into fits and fred the Chief and all his
aids. That is, they did 80 as far as they
could but they were held in irons by
the Mayor, who refused to put their
sweeping proposition to vote, and left the
room and the Board without quorum.
The trio, however, came bravely up to
the scratch, and like hethree tsilors OF
Tooley street, resolved that they were the
Board, and passed their proposition by a
vote of two, one of them having been
compelled to take the chair, which LEFT
him only with the right to the casting
vote in case of tie. What, in the name
of all the furies, is the matter with this
crazy Board? Here, under Chief Burns's
regime, we have had excellent
order and as perfect police
service as ever this city has enjoyed.
Gambling has been practically sup
pressed, and everything pertaining to
the protection of the city has worked ad-
mirably. There is something sinister
behind the action of the Police Com mis-.
sioners, and that something will soon
show itself on the surface. The Board
is doing its level best to injure the city
and to bring the administration of our
government into contempt.

PRIZE-RING PEELERS.
A Fight to the Finish In Fun-lOving
Frisco.

SAN Francisco, July ia fight to
the finish, Marquis of Queensbury rules
for purse of $500, took place at the
Golden Gate Athletic Club rooms tonight
between Joe Bowers and Jack Lynch,
both of San Francisco. Bowers weighed
about 160 pounds and Lynch 1853.
Preceding the fight was a set-to be-
tween two colored pugilists, Johnson, of
San Francisco, and Wincell, of the United
States steamship Alert. Johnson was
thrown down and his right shoulder dis
located in the first round.
Lynch then entered the ring, soon fol-
lowed by Bowers. In the first two
rounds Bowers kept his hands down,
evidently inviting blow from Lynch. In
the third round Bowers commenced his
peculiar rushing tactics, and, with few
exceptions, maintained the aggressive
thereafter. In the fourth round Bowers
struck Lynch several terrific left.handers
on the nose, drawing blood, and also a
left cut over the left eye. From this
time on Bowers led for Lynch's injured
nose, upper'cutting him numerically.
Lynch fought coolly and gamely, though
badly punished, and up to the
round, held his right in
reserve, evidently hoping by a chance
blow to disable Bowers. He got in
several good smashes on Bowers left |
ear and stopped the iatter's rushes sew
eral times with some neat left.handers |
on the chin, but his right and left |
swings generally fell short. Bowers
landed on Lynch's nose with terrific /
effect, tearing the plaster therefrom fire.

Fresno Receives Another Visitation
From the Fire Fiend.

FRESNO, CAL, July l7.-Fire started in
stable next to the Russ Hotel this
morning at 3 AS o'clock. The livery
stable and contents, including many
horses and vehicles, was DESTROYED. The
flames spread to the Russ Hotel and
quickly burned the building to the
ground. The indications are that it was
of incendiary origin. The losses will
reach about $40 900.
Fears were entertained at first that
some of the guests of the hotel perished
in the flames, but at O'Clock this after
noon thorough search of the ruins had
been made, and it seems certain that no
lives were lost. There we're number of
narrow escapes. Several persons were
burned, but not severely.
INSURANCE POLICIES CANCELLED.
Insurance policies on Chinatown. on
Mead's livery stable, on Front street,
and on the office and storehouse of the

A CHASTITY TRAGEDY.
A Sensational and Mystifying
Double Murder In Iowa.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, July II. John Elkins
and wife we're brutally murdered last
night on their farm in Elk township,
Clayton county, this State. Elkins' sec.
ond son, boy of IL, by former wife,
slept in the barn, and says that he was
awakened about O'Clock by rife shot.
Going into the house, a fearful sight met
his eyes. His father WAS lying dead on
the bed with bullet through his brain
and his wife also lay on the bed
with her head smashed in. The babe was
still sleeping, the boy says, between
them. Grasping the babe he made his
way to neigh boris and gave the alarm.
The coroner's jury is investigating the
matter. The murderer has not been
found, but suspicion rests on the boy and
his brother, a young man of "a, who
both had a grudge against their step
mother. Elkins was a man OF so, and

taken by capital will be towards actual
investment in our low-priced lands, and
the money SO employed will come largely
from the East.
There is greater profit to be made in
land investment in this section inst now
than in lending money. The inevitable
result will be a revival in real estate
transactions, which, though it may not
attain the dimensions of year and a
half ago, will be healthy and continu-
GUS. From every point of view the situ'
alton is highly encouraging, and the be-
ginning of building on the extension OF
the Union Pacific, through the Utah
Southern, to Los Angeles, will be the
signal for a new, stable and brighter era
for this city and county and for Southern
California.

lost their lives in this city this afternoon,
under peculiar circumstances. A watch
was dropped in cesspool and some men
were endeavoring to recover it. They
dug large hole at the side of the pool.
This hole was filled with water by rain.
One man stood on ladder above the
water and made an opening into the
cesspool. Foul air and gas rushed out
and overcame him and he fell into the
water. A friend went to give aid and
was likewise overcome. Others came to
help, and one by one seven men fell into

and concludes as follows: "Mr. Paul
has grossly and habitually violated the
Civil Service law and has done it in a
peculiarly revolving and underhand way.
His conduct merits the seveTest punish

is hopeless to expect an honest admins

fortune, and we recommend his immed-
late removal"

Mortgage Taxes.

STOCKTON, July 17.- The Board Of
Supervisors, sitting as Board of Equal

County Assessor has made the ASSESS
ment of mortgages the same as the valu-
atoms on lands mortgaged, thereby de-
creasing the assessment roll about half q
million dollars. Where, for instance, land
assessed for 500 was mortgaged for 5000,
the assessment of mortgages was made
out 100, the balance escaping taxation.
The board today made out list of all
such assessments and sent notice to
the holders of mortgages to appear next
Monday and show cause why these
mortgages should not be assessed at full

Falling Into Dtsrepute - GROSS
Charges of HippodrOming.

ST, LOUIS, July 17-If all the rumors
which are rife in baseball circles just now
are true, the dav is rapidly approaching g
when the crookedness and hippodroming
tendencies of baseball players will bring
the national game into such fragrant dis.
repute as to make it a stencil to the nos
trils of all lovers of manly sport. The
Post Dispatch says that for some time
past there have been stories afioat to the
effect that certain members of the Brown
Stockings aseball team were not playing
ball. Stories of crookedness in the
Browns were first started when they
made that disastrous trip to Kansas City.
1t was then, and is still, generally be-
lieved here that the team purposely lost
those games to force Van der Abe to re.
NIT the fine he had imposed on Robin
son. who had refused to play unless it
was remitted. Still, at that time no one
thought the club was losing for q none
tary consideration, although there we're
stories aaoat that they had Robinson
against them in the pool rooms. Even
those who made these charges, however,
did not claim that the players were moved
to play off by any other motive than to
force Van der Abe to Robinson's terms
The men against whom charges are
made are Pitcher King and Thirdbase.

King and Latham have been responsible
for the loss of games, and one game is
cited where the circumstances were, tc

Browns and Athletics. King was in the
