THE RAILROAD CASE.
Conducted In Purer Atmosphere in
 the rarrott Building

For the past two weeks the examination In the case of the Southern Pacific Com pany against the Railroad Commissioners has dragged slowly along before Court Commissioner Heacock in the dingy, stuffy rooms in the Appraisers building until half of the learned gentlemen con- ducting the case were in a fair way to be laid up with the grip, paresis, or some other annoying complaint ventilated court room could not be found and strike was likely to take place Robert R. Hayne came to the rescue and offered the use of his sunny rooms In the Par rott building, which offer was gladly ac- cepted. Yesterday the court convened in it's new quarters, and the cross-examna- tion of MT. Curtis, the Southern Pacific Companys expert, was resumed. This was conducted all of the afternoon by Attorney General Fitzgerald.
 The examination was as to the original of the railroads of the company in Cali fornia- It was directed to ascertain the personal Knowledge of Expert Curtis of the details upon which he based the estimate of the cost. as brought out in his examination in chief. MT. Fitzgerald' 8 apparent object was to show that Expert Curtis estimate was not based upon his personal knowledge of what the property cost or the costrof its reproduction. The case will be continued tomorrow, as to- day all of the lawyers will attend the funeral of the late Judge Garber.

The recent scandal In the Board of Edu- cation. caused by charges made against Chairman Burns of the Buildings and Grounds Committee by Chairman Gal lagher of the Finance Committee, and which resulted In the resignation of Director Drucker from the former com mittee, has resulted in a serious strain of the harmonious relations hitherto existing among the friendly nine.
 Just what is behind the individual ac- ton of the board yesterday remains to be explained by their future actions.
 It was naturally expected that Chair man Burns would be present at the meet ing, but he found it conveninnt to be ab- sent and by so uoing prevented any de- cisive acton the board may have had in contemplation.
 During the reading of the minutes President Harrington handed a slip oI paper to each member, on which was written a request to agree to serve on either the Finance or Buildings commit tees. To the surprise of MT Harrington not a member would sign. At the proper time he notified the chair that the resig- nation of Director Drucker from me Buildings Committee had left only Chalr- man Burns to transact the business or the committee, and this could not be done
 
 by one or more members of that body Tn order to be accepted by the Auditor. He furIner announced that on the Finance Committee there were but two members, including Chairman Gallagher, when there should be five. This left the latter committee in an equally bad fix, as three signatures were required on all vouchers. The further statement was made that every member of the board, aside from those on the committees mentioned, had positively refused to accept appointment as committeeman. MT Harrington con- fessed that this left not only the board but himself in a decidedly awkward posi- ton. and asked what was to be done.
 Director Head. in very emphatic lam guage expressed the opinion that out or courtesy to the board Director Burns should have been present and furthermore that, under the circumstances, Chairman Burns ought to resign his position on the committee and thus simplify matters for his colleagues.
 This brought Chairman Gallagher or the Finance Committee to his feet. wlth the statement that it was apparent there should be a reorganization of the com nittees of the board.

 nianS to Meet. LATE IN AUGUST THE DATE WESTERN BOXING CLUB SE- CURES THE BIG MATCH.
LATE IN AUGUST THE DATE
The Men Have Never Met in the Ring, Despite Their Prominence and Years of Service at
 the Game.

A twenty-round boxing bout between Alexander Greggains and Joseph Choyn- ski has been practically arranged and will be the next important meeting or t,eayyweights in this city. Negotiations for the match have been in progress for some time. Greggains has been anxious for the match and Eddie Graney who looks after Choynskfs interests, has ad- vised him to avail of the opportunity of fered.
 The meeting will be under the auspices of the recently organized Western Boxing Club, of which Martin Murphy and Charles Long are the managers. This Is the first of the bouts which the match makers of the club have in view. Wood wards Pavilion has been secured and all matches will be held in its ring
 Although Greggians and Choynski are Californians and have been before the public as boxers for many years, they have never met except in one friendly bout. They are well matched each weighing about one hundred and seventy-Gve pounds This has heretofore put them at a disadvantage as they were called upon 10 meet men much heavier than them selves. The best of feeling has not ex- isted between them for same years. It de- veloped in 1892 when Greggains boxed an eighty-round draw with Buffalo" Cos teilo before the Coney Island Club. Choynski was in the Australians corner and Greggains never forgot the part he played at that time.
 Greggains has been improving his ap- portunfties while training Mcconnell and has gradually worked into the best possi- was with Sharkey in March, 1896. The men fought a draw in a small ring In the Bush Street Theater. During the same summer Sharkey met Choynski and week in August Choynsh Is expected here at once to commence training.

Ing Post says: About l o'clock this
morning Postmaster Baker, a negro.
and his child, were shot to death ard
their bodies cremated. It Is said that
a mob numbering several hundred sur
rounded Bakers house where the post
office Is kept. set fire TO the building
and opened fire with guns upon 1t. Ba-
ker was killed, and wife. his two daugh-
tiers and one son were seriously wound
ed.
The woman had baby In her arms
and she says that the bail that went
through her hand passed through the
baby, killing 1t, and 1t fell from her
arms. 5s
The house was on fire and the occu-
pants who were able ran out, but the
cremated bodies OF Baker and the child
were found In the ruins Of the building
this morning.
All the wounded are maimea for life.
The two girls may lose their arms. All

There is no clue to the composition
OF the mob.
The foregoing Associated Press dis
patch was printed In the Gazette and
other Democratic newspapers more
than two weeks ago. The Mail has
purposely abstained from publishing or
commenting on II, TO sec how II would
be treated By the Democratic newspa-
pers. This Is one Of the most brutal,
devilish, diabo,icat murders that has
ever dlsgraced the history OF the coun-
try. The only occasion for 1t was that
this coiored man was appointed post
master and attempted to fill the office.
Yet not word OF condemnation have
we seen OF this ilcndlsh murder in any
Democratic newspaper. The Gazette
indeed criticised the governments at

mitted 1t.
This Is sample OF Democratic jus
tice for the colored man; q measure Of

because the Republican party does not
give his people as many offices as they
