THE MISSION BAY SUIT.
Proposed Action of the State
Endorsed by the People
at Large.
CONDITIONS IGNORED.
ALL
Attorney Bishop Tells Of His Early
Connection With the
Case.

The action of Acknowledgement Fitzger-
aid in instituting suit against the Southern
Pacific Railroad, as published in The CALL
liable land in Mission Bay, meets with the
unqualified Endorsement of every citizen,
excepting, of course, Mr.. Huntington and
the other corporation officials.
The proposed legal proceedings to re-
cover what rightfully belongs to the peo-
pie mean great deal more than the mere
monetary value of the land. 1t signifies
beyond the shadow of doubt that the
STATE, represented by Mr.. Fitzgerald, is
tired of the high-handed measures so long
pursued by the Southern Pacific, and it is
proposed to put an abrupt check to it, not
only in this instance, but in all cases where
the company is unjustly holding property
given it conditionally by the common
wealth. This applies not only to land
grants. but to all matters that come within
office. Mr.. Fitzgerald has stated, in Ian
guage that cannot be misconstrued, that
he will protect the peoples interest, and
he must be guided by that pledge.
The property which the State will en-
deavor to recover includes that section
lying between Channel, Seventh and
Center streets and the bay. At the time
of the grant this section was covered
almost en- tirely by Mission Bay, but has
been gradually reclaimed by reason of its
being the City's dumping-ground. This
work has been done without expense to
the Southern Pacific. There are no open
streets in the Mission Bay district, though
surveys have been made preparatory to
making public thoroughfares, when it
should please the Southern Pacific, through
the Board of Supervisors, to so order it.
The sixty acres of disputed land would
be reduced to tifty-three acres should the
streets now running to that neglected
section be cut through it. At the lowest
assumption of value within the bounds of
reason the property is worth $4,000 an
acre, which would make the total valua-
ton 81, $4,000. No one believes for
moment, however, that it could be bought
for anything like that sum even in its
neglected condition to-day.
''In 1875 Attorney-General Love asked
me to go or record in behalf of the State
in suit about to be brought for the re-
covery of these very lands" said Attorney
7. B. Bishop yesterday. II consented to
do so, though little or nothing was done
during my connection with the case, and
about twelve months later our firm, which
was then CARRIER Thornton d Bishop, was
retained by the railroad in general way,
and | did not think it right for me to con-
tinue in the service of the State, and just
here let me say that | never received one
penny for my services.

TWO MURDER TRIALS.
Cases of Mrs. Shattuck and Mrs. Worth
ington Again in Court.

Cases of Mrs. Shattuck and Mrs. Worth
ington Again in Court.
The cases of Mrs. Jane Shattuck and
Mrs. Louisa Worthington, both of whom
are charged with murder, will come up
in court to-day. Attorney Burnette G.
HASKELL will make the final arguments for
the defense in each case. The Shattuck
case on appeal will be argued in the
Supreme Court. The points to be pre-
sented will be that the court below erred
in not allowing physician to give clinical
history of the defendant; in admitting evil
dence OF Mrs. Newlands as to statement
of Harry Poole not in the presence of the
defendant; in admitting the letters of
Truly" in charging the jury, to distrust
certain evidence for the defendant and in
about ten other less important acts. The
defense in the Worthington case, which is
now nearing the end of its third trial. will
be not only insanity, but self defense and
justifiable homicide.

half of existence. There was no sentiment
in the man. He could see no ethical pur-
pose in the creative plan, and forever was
blind to Mathew Arnold's power that
makes for righteousness Long bordering
over the cold facts of science had driven
out, or killed in embryo, those finer, nobler
instincts which should have place in
every life.
Huxley did not belong to the arrogant
school of agnostics, which holds that
there is no means of knowing He was
content to say, 4 do not know So it is.
Before the awful mysteries of nature. the
ology, as well as science, is dumb. Both
must give way in some degree. Science
must recognize the fact that an enlightened
theology gives to life an ethical purpose
and spiritual understanding, necessary
to high DEVELOPMENT"

HUXLEY AND HIS WORK.
Leslie Sprague Discourses on the Teach

The second in series of lectures on
Science and Religion" was given last
evening at the Second Unitarian Church
by the pastor, Leslie Sprague.
Huxley, His Life and Work." was the
theme of last evenings discourse, and
after brief biographical sketch of the
great scientist, the lecturer spoke of the
effect of his teaching upon the present
generation of scientific and theological
thinkers.
Thomas Huxley" said he, "more than
any other man of his century demanded
that religion face about and meet the
scientific problems of the day. He was a
bold and original thinker in his chosen
line of work-natural history-and was
drawn into religious controversy only
when he found his way barred by super
naturalism. Once in the fight he showed
an aggressiveness that bore down all op-
position and made his name thorn in the
side of the orthodox theologians all over
the world. Huxley had one weakness
which his most ardent admirers all admit.
"He gave no place in his thought to those
sacred things Of life, which is more than

cycle in the Park.
Samuel Warren, who lives at 725 Eddy
street, was out on his bicycle late yester-
day afternoon and, while skimming along
the smooth road in the Park toward the
Cliff House, he met with an accident
There was crash. and for time the at
mosphere was filled with broken wheels,
chains, handles, legs and profanity. Mr..
Warren had collided with string of BIZ
cyclists going in the opposite direction. A
roIl-call was necessary to learn how many
had gone over, around and through Mr..
Warren and his machine. Three was the
number who had collided with the gentle
man, and when they were able they started
off for town on foot with choice assort-
ment of junk that had once been three fine
bicycles.
In the matter of physical injuries Mr..
Warren suffered the most, and it was ne
cessary to take him to the Receiving Hos
pital in the ambulance. An inventory of
his injuries showed five scalp wounds. both
hands bruised, elbows skinned, nose and
cheeks ditto, and bumps too numerous and
painful to mention. After being patched,
sewed and bandaged Mr.. Warren took a
car and went home.

He realized my embarrassing position and
readily consented to my withdrawal.
az am not sure, but my recollection is
that turned over all the papers in my
possession relating to the case to the At
torney- General, though if I have any doc
uments that will be of value to the State
in this action they are certainly welcome
to them.

time that only remember the States side
of the case in vague sort of way. / do

was required to perform certain duties,
after which Governor Pacheco was to
grant them patent. The Governor gave
them the land, though the railroad had
utterly failed to comply with the condi-
tions embodied in the act passed by the
State Legislature.

ST. BON|FACE MISSION,
Special Two Weeks Services
Being Held for German
Catholics.
Three BenedIctlne Missionaries
From Oregon In Charge
of the Work.

There is now in progress at st. Boni-
faces Church, on Golden Gate avenue, a
mission for German Catholics. 1t has
been under way for week and will end
next Sunday evening.
This mission is the first one held in st.
Boniface's Church for some years, and in
consequence it is an event of more than
ordinary Importance to the German Catho-
lies. Every service has been attended by
congregation as large as the church
could well hold, and each day sees an in
crease rather than diminution in the at
tendance. At the head of the services on
the mission are three Benedictine fathers
from Mount Angel, Oregon, who have
come to this City expressly to take charge
of this work. They are Father Benedict,
Father Anselem and Father Thomas and
Father Dominic, who took Father
Thomas place, because of the latter's
illness.
Services commenced last Monday morn
ing, and every day since mass has been
celebrated three times a day, and every
afternoon there has been special instruc-
ton in faith and the duties of Pensioners.
Yesterday there were three mission services
as usual. Father Anselm preached during
man, the value of the short time allowed
him on this earth, and the slowness of
mankind to realize the gravity and rapid
ity of his passage toward the hereafter.
In the afternoon, Father Benedict
preached on g Faith" He also lectured
the men, for it was service for men, as to
their duties in the family, as fathers and
as husbands. In the evening Father Bene-
dict again spoke on the Benedictine SER
vice.
During next week services will be held at
the same times-5:3 80 A. NJ, 8 A. NJ, 3 P. NJ.
and 7:30 P. NJ. The afternoon services will
be confined to instruction in Christian doc
trine and duty. On Tuesday evening there
will be young mems special instruction
service and on Thursday the Feast of the
Assumptions; special services will be held
in the evening in celebration of the holy
day. There will be procession and con-
secration services, in which the members
of all the sodalities will join.
On Saturday, August II, solemn re-
QUEEN mass will be celebrated for the repose
of the souls of all deceased members of ST.
Boniface's. The mass will be at o'clock.
At the conclusion of the mission at st.
Boniface mission will commence at ST.
Anthony's, on Army street, also for Ger
man Catholics, commencing September 1.

A RUNAWAY BICYCLE.
III. P. Johnston's Machine Collides with
Wagon and His Ankle Is
Fractured.

H. P. Johnston, a bookkeeper living at
2016 Green street, bought machine the
other day, and after taking few lessons
decided to start off on his own account
yesterday morning.
He rode along all right till he reached
Ellis street and Van Ness avenue. His
momentum had been gradually increasing
from the time he started to go down the
hill, and at the point mentioned he lost
complete control Of his bike, which prac-
tically ran away with him. Between Eddy
and Turk streets the machine collided
with a wagon, and Johnston was thrown
heavily to the ground. He was taken to
the Receiving Hospital, where it was found
that his left ankle was broken.
