ness in the Curtis case yesterday.
he testified that he was on his beat on
Fourth street on the night OF Grants death,
when he heard shots, and running up Fol-
som street met Police Officers Bode and
Allen coming back with Curtis.
Curtis had a nipper on his wrist.
Witness was a little hazy about Curtis
clothes.
c. 3 Bennett, driver of the police patrol
wagon. was very clear as to Curtis ex-
CARNATIONS on the way to the Central Sta
ton.
According to him Curtis said, 'Oh. my
poor wife, wish could recall the last four
hours of my life. What will my friends say
when they hear OF this? They will all 60
back on me-"
Sergeant Coles, who was In charge of the
Southern station on the night In point. tes-
tlhed that Grant went out on duty dressed
in regular citizens clothes.
When witness heard the shots he ran out
and saw the body OF Grant the first thing.
1T was very dark" he said, land as leaned
over the body L remarked, why, it is an
officer"
How did you know II was an officer?"
Because l saw his star, before l saw
that 1t was Grant. / told sergeant to take
OF the star and ! afterward gave it to Ser
geant Thompson"
The witness said Curtis told him th at he
had accompanied his wife to the Grand
Opera-house, where he had paid SIS to hear
Sarah Bernhard. Then he had had few
drinks with William Kreling at the Tivol.
and on the corner of Mission and Third

tOughs, who rolled him in the gutter and he
had TO fight his way out.

former testimony given at the last trial, and
the court adjourned until Monday next,

THE NEW POSTOFFICE.
Supervising Architect Edbrooke of
the Treasury Coming.

Supervising Architect of the Treasury
Department Of the United States William
j. Edbrooke is expected to arrive in tue
storm his arrival has been delayed, but q
telegram received yesterday announced
that, barring any possible accident he will
be here and ready for business the first Of
next week.
Mr.. Edbrooke has been supervising archi-
tect for the past three years and is re-
garded in the profession as an able man.
His purpose In visiting the coast at this
time is TO overlook the grounds bought for
the new postoffice and to decide upon the
future plans of the edifce. 1t is said that
his Intentions are to distinguish himself by
the magnifcence of the plans for the new
structure. He VIII have a block 400 feet
square upon which to build. and that
100000 is to be the ultimate cost, excla-
siye Of the amount paid for the site.
Some one of the different styles Of gran
ite quarried in the State Will be selected,
and II the building is pushed atleast 81, co.,
COO will be paid out every year for the next
five years, mostly for labor.
II Is thought that at least this length of
time will be required for its erection,
though that entirely depends upon the
magnitude OF the appropriations received by
the California delegation.
Over 500, 900 is now available from the
the amount appropriated for the purchase
of the site that can be expended upon the
foundation, and this would go long way
walls upon which the future structure will
rest
Mr.. Edbrooke is expected to remain in the
city about Two weeks

WAR AGAINST JOBS.
Another Writ to Stop Ffigh-Priced
Street Commissions.


A writ of injunction was yesterday OBJ
tained by Councillor Clarke for Johanna
Clarke. his wife. against the Board of Super
visors.
The writ was obtained to enjoin the board
from confirming the report of the Nine
teenth-street commission, which has juris-
dictlon over certain property owned by Mrs.
Clarke.
The main idea followed in the injunction
was on the same lines as that obtained by
Altschul in the matter of the Post-street
report. but several other points are en-
ployed.
The petitioner denies the jurisdiction OF
the board to appoint commission; denies
that the extensions were necessary or re-
qured. and that the commission acted under
the law.
The eXtortionate and arbitrary charges
are denounced, and the various inequalities
remarked upon in strong terms.
As the report has already been confirmed
the petition to have the confirmation en-
Joined is too late.
The petitioner, however, has wisely added
request that the clerk of the board be en-
joined from handing over the report to the
Superintendent OF Streets and for any other
relief which may be considered just by the
court.
The case has been assigned to Judge
Stacks court and a temporary Injunction
issued until the matter is argued.
LII is stated that other papers have already
been drawn up by others Interested to en-
join proceedings in the case OF other street
commissions.
These would have been ready by last
Monday, when the board met, had it not
been that Supervisor Taber promised with
out reservation that he would not sign a
certain report which was presented. He
alterward attempted to explain bis action
by saying that he had not signed il in CON-
mlttee, but when acting on the board

zone of the most Intentionally misleading
portions of the Morgan reports" remarked
noted railroad engineer yesterday, "is
that in which he Institutes a comparison
between the cost of coal used by Eastern
railroads and that consumed by the South
ern Pacific. In one case he states that East
ern roads only pay from 81 60 to 81 Is per
ton. while the local road has TO pay 81 per
ton.
"If this were true 1t would be q strong
point in the Southern Pacific's favor, as that
corporations coal account does figure up in
the annual expense account as over 81, Co.,
600, but from whom does il buy its coal?
Why, from the Pacific improvement Com

Croker and Searles.
THE actual cost of the coal used does not
exceed 81 % per ton in the bins here md is
probably less. and this coal costing Hunt

Huntington, president Of the Southern

lHey Fly, however, into the Arms OF
Those Who Need Them.
There Is an old saying that money takes
wings and flies away.
1t has always been a source of wonder
where it flew to and where it landed.
Some people even believed that the cele-
brated wing shots of the country brought It
down as it took its aerial flight. This is not
so, however. as only the lucky man gets it,
So thinks Samuel Funk of Fresh any
way. and ne goes around telling how he
clipped the wings of one. 1t came about
through his buying a 25-cent ticket In the
Premium Note Company, which brought
him $3.50. and he says now that man

Mrs. Eleanor Il. Lewis of Jones street
also had one of the Premium Note Com
pany's tickets and has just exchanged it for
$1,000 in gold coin, which will GO to pay off
mortgage on her home.
