SOME HARD QUESTIONS.
DO you really believe, Mr.. Leeds
asked Mr.. Martin, that your proposed
tafiH OF rates IS a proper one to be put
In force on all the roads of the State?"
The witness answered this in the af-
hrnatlYe after considerable hesitation
and delay.
And you hold, then" continued the
attorney, that there should be fixed a
uniform rate per mile to hold good on all
the roads OF the State, regardless of the
density or scarcity of the population OF
the territory traversed?'
Before Mr.. Leeds had fully answered
thls the commission decided to take a re-
cess until l o'clock.
w nen the cross-examination of Mr.
Leeds was resumed after the noon inter-
mission the witness stated that in the
preparation of his local distance tariff he
had not disturbed the present basis of
short distance rates. He thought such of
these as he had incorporated in his sched-
uIe were reasonable.
Then there was a good deal more ques-
tonlng, but finally Mr.. Richards sug-
gested that he would like an adjournment
III order that he might catch a train for
San Jose. A general talk ensued, which,
somehow or other, came very near bring
ing out sensation.
L told you at the beginning, Mr..
LEEDS" suddenly said Chairman Rea,
mat II you were for an honest reform
ana administration of the law l would be
with YOU"
That's what 1 want" said Mr.. Leeds.
ell, all right" said Chairman Rea,
''and want to say, too, that there isn't
an honest man in the Legislature"
here, for some reason, Mr.. Rea paused
1or so long time that his remark took on
startling significance, but as he saw a
look OF horror rising on the faces of his
auditors, he added:
n one, mean, who doesn't take the
same view OF this matter that | do"
Then everybody drew breath of re-
lief.
But Mr.. Rea took another start.
want to say that | know some of
those men there are not honest, because
some OF them have been after me for
money already"
Did they get it?" interrogated Mr..
Lltchheld, but Rea paid no attention.
'One of them, at least" he added, twas
one OF your men, too, Mr.. Leeds, and he
mad his little contract with him, too. But
that's all right, only if you don't succeed
IN IeglsIatIng this commission out of office
propose that my time shall come sooner
or later, and then We'll see."
Mr.. Rea also stated that he would like
to have the Shively case postponed until
after the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture, as he wanted then, if the commits
sion was still in existence, to have some
OF the Solons now in Sacramento come
before the board and show what they
knew about railroad rates.
Il don't propose" he said, with bitter
emphasis, ito have any Shanahan attack
me in the Legislature without doing my
best at some time to expose his own
ignorance"
The commission then adjourned until
next Tuesday at IL o'clock.

POLICE COURT LAWYERS.
Prisoners Who Cannot Find Attorneys
to Defend Them.
Lagiere's Case Continued-Two Cases
of Battery Against E. L. Mar
shalI-Monaghan's Case.

There was considerable complaint by
the witnesses summoned to the Police
Court yesterday, owing to continued de-
lays in the cases there. The attorneys re-
tanned by the defendants seem to be
either very busy elsewhere, or deem that
delay is the best thing for their clients.
L. j. Monaghan, charged with robbery,
represented that he expected Major An
derscn to appear for his defense, but as
the latter is busy in the Assembly, the
case was continued until tomorrow.
A number of witnesses summoned in
sthis case are hackmen who work at night,
and it is hardship to demand them to
appear from day to day, while Mrs. Hey
den, the prosecuting witness, is resident
of Suisun and detained here.
Henry Lagiere, charged with robbing
August SessInot of Sl35, was represented
by counsel, but the latter had just arrived
on the scene and had not had time, he
said, to confer with his client.
After considerable persuasion a con-
tlnuance of the case was granted by Judge
Buckley, and Lagiere's examination set
for Monday, the I'D inst, and dozen
more witnesses cited to be on hand for the
third time.
E. L. Marshall, arraigned upon two
charges of battery for assaulting Charles
Dorsey and T. j. Hodgson, pleaded guilty
TO the first ofiense and had judgment con
tinued until Tuesday, the 9th inst, to
which time the hearing of the Hodgson
case was continued.
Ah Wing, a Chinaman who pleaded
guilty to dealing in lottery tickets, was
fined $l5.
Charles Mains pleaded guilty to having
been intoxicated, but not drunk, and
gave an elaborate explanation of his trials
at blacksmith shop where he went to
have some repairing done. AS he was
very repentant, the charge against him
was dismissed.
w: L. Mcintyre pleaded guilty to hav-
ing been drunk, but explained that he
had been sober for six weeks prior, and
how, as soon as he found himself in the
tolls of drink, lie promptly surrendered
himself at the City Jail.
AS he thought he could remain sober
for at least six weeks again, he was also
discharged.

THE PALMER CASE.
There Were Only Seven Jurors Sc
cured Up TO Last Evening.

There Were Only Seven Jurors Sc
cured Up to Last Evening,
The original venire of lis talesmen has
been exhausted in the effort to secure
twelve qualified jurors in the Palmer
murder case, and two special venires OF
twenty each have been ordered-one re-
turnable at 10 A. NJ. to-day, and the other
at 1:30 p. NJ, making in all l55 citizens
called from their homes at $2 each per
day.
Up to the adjournment of court last
evening but seven jurors had been ac-
cepted.
H. a. Petrali, one of the talesmen, was
called yesterday, but did not respond,
and Judge Prewett ordered that he be
fined $40 as gentle reminder of his duty.
Notwithstanding the dullness of the
routine of examining jurors the court
room remains crowded each day during
the entire session. Palmer is attended in
court by his father and mother and his
little daughter, who is a cripple. His
counsel, General A. l.. Hart and Alvin j.
Bruner, are quite as particular in the Sc
lection of jurymen as are the prosecuting
attorneys, and it is not likely that the
panel will be filled to-day.
Mrs. c. w. Phleger is a constant at
tendant in court, accompanied by her
little girl.

Ball at CourtIand.

The Courtland Social Dancing Club
seems to be persistent in its efforts to
give ball. The ardor of it's members
was not dampened, though their last
party, on account of high water, had to be
postponed, causing the club much ex-
pense aud trouble. The club will give on
Wednesday evening. the 25th, a party
equal to, if not excelling, any ever given
in that vicinity.
All those wishing to attend the ball
from this city will be accommodated by
John LatIerty, whose large coach will
leave the Central Stable, on street, be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh, at O'Clock
p. N. on the 25th.
One of the interesting features of the
evening will be prize waltz, and the
prize will be beautiful upholstered
