is the interest of each in the Fair estate.
Petitions are made on behalf of seven
Fair children, sons and daughters of
James H. Fair, who was the son of Thomas
Fair, James G.. Fairs brother, and on be-
half of the six Lundy children, sons and
daughters of Mary Margaret Lundy, who
was. daughter of Thomas Fair To each
family was left $4,000 TO be equally oil
vided, and this left the share of each of
James III. Fairs children at SILL IL and
the share of each Of Mrs. Lundy's children
at $1428 81.
After stating that under either will of
James G. Fair they are entitled to the same
amount the petition further says:
That there is also further litigation now
pending affecting the said estate of James G..
FAR, deceased. and that it is prOpable that the
settlement and distribution Of said estate will
be greatly delayed, and that the said ward of
your petitioner, unless sale be made as here
lnafter prayed for, will for several years be
Kept out OF whatever share in the said estate
he may be entitled to under any will of said
deceased, provided that it shall finally be de-
termined that said deceased died testate; but
II 1t shall finally be determined that said de-
ceased died in testate said ward. not being an
heir at law will receive no part nor portion of
the estate OF said deceased.
Continuing, the petition states that even
should will be admitted the share of the
"Aru OF petltloner VIII not exceed SILL IL,
and responsible persons" have informed
the petitioner that they will presently
pay the said sum of Sill IL for W hatever
interest said minor may have under any
will of said deceased as beneficiary or
otherwise" This refers to one of the Fair
children, but all the petitions are alike,
except in names and amounts.
The offer will not hold open forever, the
petitions say, and the beirs feel it is better
to accent the amount and release their
claims. This, it is said means simply
that the claims are being bought up by the
estate in order to have the entire property
concentrated.

In spite of statements that may be made to
the contrary, no employe of the company was
seen near where the wreck took place from the
time the reg ular track inspector passed over
the road on his wheel until called to the scene
at o'clock Sunday evening. Mr.. Murphy had
not yet reached Baden, and neither the section
boss nor his assistant passed him. If, as they
claim, they were at the fatal embankment
forty minutes prior to the washout, then
Murphy could not have been on the track ct
all or he would of necessity have met them.
This is not, however, in any sense true.
Murphy was attending to his regular duties
and ives within half a mile of where the wreck
occurred when he met a gentleman who told
him that the water was flowing over the en-
bankment and urged him to flag the south
bound train, which he knew was due about
that time. He endeavored TO do this, but the
engineer either did not see the signal or else
he misunderstood it.
The fact of the matter is, it was sheer negli-
gence, due to the strict economy practiced by
the railroad, that caused the accident. One
man for 81 70 a day is now required TO do the
work formerly distributed among four. Their
pay was 81 90 each. With this kind OF a
duction all along the line it is easily seen what
the company saves daily, at the imminent risk,
however, TO the lives of the travelling public.
The Coroner of San Mateo County has
summoned jury, and is making thor
ough investigation into the causes leading
up to the accident. The proceedings yes
terday consisted of q statement made by
H. Tilton of Baden to the effect that he
told Murphy to signal the train. Murphy
denied this fatty. The investigation will
be resumed today.

suggested that the unwilling ceremonies
should take place April % next-Grant' $

invited to be present.
Vacancies in the old committee caused
by death or removal from the City may be

Grand Army posts, the Loyal Legion,
Sons of Veterans and other patriotic or
CARNATIONS will probably join the com

gramme OF ceremonies worthy of San
Francisco and of the illustrious American
whose memory is to be honored by the
monument.
1t is suggested that special invitation
be sent to the President of the United
States, through committee who will urge
him to attend the unwilling.
The first steps toward a monument in
memory of General Grant were taken at a
Chamber of Commerce meeting july "a.
1885. An executive committee to arrange
Grant obseauies in this City was then ap-

authorized to receive subscriptions for a
monument, but it does not appear that any
subscriptions were taken under this au-
thority.

INQUIRY BY A CoRoNER's JURY.
The Engineer of the Santa Cruz Train
Found to Be Seriously
Culpable.

At the investigation held at the Office OF
General Manager Kruttschnitt yesterday
the responsibility for the Santa Clara
crossing collision of Saturday was fixed.
1t was decided that the blame lay entirely
with Engineer Steward of the Monterey
express and Flagman Ernest Kohloff and
Engineer James Stanley were exonerated.
The solution of the question was OBJ
tanned largely from the testimony of
Flagman Kohloff. He was put through a
most trying ordeal by means of diagrams,
but the officials found it impossible to con-
fuse him or make him change his original
statement, which was as follows:
He had given the signal to the narrow
gauge train to go ahead, when he saw the

broad-gauge coming at speed that would
preclude any probability of its stopping
before reaching the crossing. He realized
the terrible danger of the situation, and
at once swung the semaphore so as to dis
play the stop signal to the narrow
gauge train, which was. however, already
we'll under way, and the "go-ahead'' sig
nal to the Monterey express. 1t was only
by such course on his part, it is now ad-
mitted, that a much more serious collision
was avoided.
The Southern Pacific is apparently
straining every nerve to fix the response
bility of the terrible Baden disaster, in
which Engineer Keyer lost his life and
several others we're seriously injured.
Their energies, it appears, are mainly d.
rected toward John Murphy, who was
partly in charge of that particular section
when the fatal washout occurred. Every
man remotely connected with 1rack-walk-
ing or inspection between San Francisco
and Baden has been temporarily sus-
pended pending the result of the investi-
cation.
A meeting of the chief officials of the
road was held in the office OF Division Su-
perintendent Frazier yesterday. They
decided among other things that the track
had been most excellentiy inspected and
that the disaster was due to the Spring
Valley or some other water company,
building bulkhead not strong enough to
withstand an extraordinaryaun.
This bulkhead gave way thirty or forty
minutes after the track had been thor
oughly inspected, precipitating a volume
of water against the embankment, which
from sheer force tore away the dirt from
under the ties and rails. This last could
and did happen according to the company
within a brief period of eight or ten min
utes.
To substantiate this position they have
the sworn statement of the section boss
and his assistant. Murphy, who was i'm
medlately on the scene, has not been
called, nor is it likely that he will be for
some days to come. if at all. Mr.. Murphy.
1t seems, has been put on double duty
since the wholesale discharge of track
walkers some six weeks ago. His labors
begin about o'clock in the afternoon, and
continue until s the next morning. In
that time he is supposed to cover four and
a half miles of track, and attend to
seventeen Lights. For this service he re-
celves 81 70 day, on an average of 10
cents an hour.
An employe of the road, who for fear of
decapitation desires his name omitted at
TINS time, makes the following interesting
statement:
