SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.-The State
Board of Railroad Commissioners met
this morning, with Commissioners Will

ent, the latter presiding. After the min
utes Of the previous meeting had been
disposed of, the freight rate OF the South
ern Pacific Company to Decem Der II,

ton, the rate showing an apparent reduc-
ton, the same was approved.
A grain tariff, superseding all grain tar
ifs now IN effect, and ali amendments
thereto, was also adopted, and ordered
into effect December 29th next.
In 1898 the grain carried over the lines
of the Southern Pacific aggregated 4I5.llI
tons. To move this the aggregate freight
charges were 81 ,O39, l29 40. For the same
tonnage under the new tariff which has
just been adopted the freight rate will
only amount to $3.50, l66 50, a saving to

JAMESTOWN (N. ", Dec. 20.-Photo-
graphic science may have given the first
tangible clue to the identity of the mur-
derer of Mrs. Sherman and Mrs. Davis.
Several have been the suspects and the
clues followed up without success. But
to-day the impression of the murderer
has been found on the retina of Mrs.
Sherman's eye. The photograph was
taken by Fred d. Marsh, a local phot-
ographer, and to him is due the credit of
having originated the idea OF examining
the organ. The existence of the impress
sion of the murderer on the eye was dis
covered by means OF powerful micro
scope. Unfortunately the features of the
man could not be seen, as the view OBJ
tanned shows only the back and a very
little OF the side. An apparently big man
is presented with bushy whiskers and
wearing long overcoat. The trousers
appear to be badly wrinkled. The Coro-
ner has taken out both the eyes of the
murdered woman, and another photo
graph Will be taken tomorrow by a
skilled photographer. No impression
was discoverable on Mrs. Davis eyes.

TOPEKA Dec. 20-At $50 O'Clock this
afternoon horrible murder was dis
covered in this city. Mrs. a. d. Matson
was found dead on the floor of the rooms
of her house, Fifteenth and Monroe
streets. The body had evidently lain there
for at least ten days, as there had been no
life about the house for that time. A boy
who delivers milk at her house had no.
ticed that the can he left about ten days
ago had staid on the back door step, and
he gave the alarm to the police.
Mrs. Matson lived alone, her husband
being in California. She lived in a good
deal of seclusion as regards her neigh
bors, who are mostly coIored people, and
1t is not known whether there was any
money in the house or not. She lay in
little back room on her back, and in a
pool of her own blood. which had dried.
1t appears that she had been criminally
assaulted.
The body was covered with clothing
and rags, and couple of sacks of pota-
toes had been placed on her head She
was lying in an easy position on her
back, with her arms at her sides, her head
turned To the right, her right linn b straight
out and the other drawn up little. Her
clotneS were thrown up over her head
and clotted blood held them to the floor.
The entire top of her head was crushed
in as though she had been struck with
one fearful blow.
The neighbors in the vicinity are all
colored, and they say they have not seen
Mrs. Matson for two weeks. Mrs. Rob-
lnson, who lives across the street, saws
she saw Mrs. Matson last about two
weeks ago, and she was then coming from
the direction of her house, and had evil
IDENTIFY been collecting rent. She saw no
one around the house at the time, and
never heard any noise or disturb ance of
any kind there.
Mrs. Matson was for several years
membe OF the City Board of Education
from the Filth Ward, and took an active
interest III the city schools. She was at
one time city teacher, and was very
well known locally. She was generally
supposed to have considerable money,
and owned five or six houses on the East
Side. Her husband left her four or five
years ago and took up homestead in
California, where he has since lived.
The only person who seems 10 know
anything about the case is deaf and
dumb colored man named Geo. Knight,
who saw TWO men, probably on the even
ing OF the Ilth, enter the window of the
murdered woman's house, and after
wards saw them run away. No intelli-
gent account can be arrived at from Mr.
knight except through his brother, who
IS the only person who can understand
him. The two will be brought together
at the COroners inquest.
Mrs. Matson WAS member of the To-
peka Equal Suffrage Association and q
prominent suffrage worker.
