A farmer named Brown, while cut
ting wood, near Starrucci. Pa. L few
days ago, saw two foxes running con-
stantly near 4 fallen tree. Upon ap-
preaching the tree, he discovered a
large limb with Il cavity in which
We're two half-grown foxes. Neither
was able to walk, and evidently had
onment.
1t seems probable that the foxes
crawled into the hole in the limb when
very young. and remained there until
they had grown so that escape was
impossible. They had been fed by the
old foxes, through u very small aper-
ture in the limb.

Colonel Polk, who Is employed by the
commission. has made an examination
into the affairs of the Pullman Company

resulted. 1t is safe to say that the re-
turns of the Pullman Company exceed
those Of any railroad corporation in the
country. The commission will attempt
to bring about a. reduction of rates, and
the Commissioners Will use the report of
Mr.. Polk as a basis of operations.
The examination of Colonel Polk shows

Health and Police Committee Decide
Against Abrogating It.

The Committee on Health and Police
of the Board of Supervisors. met yester-
day and considered the petition of forty
firms doing business in the city, for a
repeal of the fifty-year franchise for coll
lecting garbage awarded to F. q. Sharon
to the Sanitary Reduction Works. The
petitioners held that Sharon received too
many privileges. The committee thought
ly to the petitioners request, giving, as
a reason, that there was no power vested
In the Supervisors to abrogate the con-
tract. as its provisions had not been vio-
lated by the contractor.
The committee also decided to postpone
for one week action upon the petition to
the greater part of South San Francisco,

BUILDING OPERATIONS ARE
STEADILY INCREASING.

The condition Of the real estate market
for the past week has been encouraging
to both property owners and realty brok-
ers. The uncertainty which characterized
its progress, owing to the existent doubt
as to whether the new tax levy would
tend toward precipitating it into that con-
dition of business stagnation from which
1t so lately evolved, has been entirely
forgotten. AS a consequence, there seems
absolutely nothing to deter the stream
of realty from seeking and maintaining
well-defned and successful course of
prosperity and progress.
Sales for the week, although Individual
ly of but comparatively small value, were,
nevertheless, of a considerable number
and a good aggregate value Many firms
throughout the city recorded a large
number of successful negotiations and
disposais, which fact alone shows con-
clusiyely that the prospect Of the market
for the near future is both bright and
encouraging.
Building operations are still increasing
The record for the past week shows a
marked Improvement and increase both
in number and extent over the record Of
the preceding week.
