SACRAMENTO. Sept. 16.-An immense
crowd attended the closing day or the
State Fair racing meet at Agricultural

order, Notwithstanding the short prices

starting was accorded more or less sup
port. and with four Of seven choices WIN

borhood Of $4,000.
After Lottie had defeated Psyche for
the 2:2e class trot the free-for-all pace was
called. Don was installed a stanch IA
yorite and took the first heat with ease
from Al Gregor In the second heat Don
left his feet at the first turn and Beech
wood won easily from Fannie Putnam IN
Play The third heat found Don going
as steady as clockwork and ne won PRICK
ing his ears in 2:14A.

past the wire for the place. AT the far
turn Beechwood made a disastrous break,
which lost him second money, for the
distance flag was waved in his face. Mucn

race was reported to have ruptured an
intestine.
The Favorite stake, over one mile and
a quarter, was the stellar feature among
the running events. resulting in q ] HANDY

ERENNA HELD
IN JAIL ON A
BENCH WARRAN I
Writ of CertiOrari Was
Dismissed.

Superior Judge Lawlor has filed an
opinion in which he holds that 1t is be-
yond his Jurisdiction to review the action
Of Police Judge Graham ordering the re-
lease Of Joseph P. Frenna, murderer Of
]. f. Turner, from custody. A writ Of
certiorari demanding a review Of the pro-
ceedings of the lower court, secured at
the instance of the prosecution. has in
consequence been dismissed by the court.
but the fact remains that Frenna is still
In iatl Immediately upon the dismissal
of the writ George D. Collins, who, dur
ing the certiorari proceedings. occupied
the position of special prosecutor, went
Immediately to Presiding Judge danger
field and laid the facts Of the case be-
fore him Judge Daingerfield forthwith
issued bench warrant for the arrest of
the murderer, If his release was secured
on bonds, remanding him to the custody
of the Sheriff without bail. An informa-
ton charging Frenna with murder was
then filed with the court and the case
was assigned to Judge Cook for trial. To-
morrow morning Judge Cook will review
the case and if he finds that the proof
is evident or the presumption great that
Frenna is guilty of the crime charged he
will refuse him his liberty on bail; If
otherwise the prisoner will be released on
bonds, but for a greater sum than that
fixed by the committing magistrate.
After reviewing the facts of the arrest,
preliminary examination and admittance
to BAH of the prisoner and calling atten-
ton to the fact that the law makes
Judges from those of the lowest court to
the supreme tribunal equally qualified
magistrates, Judge Lawlor says:
The single question before the court
is, Did the respondent. Hon. Thomas
f. Graham, have authority to admit
the defendant to bail? In other words,
does the writ of certiorari lie to re-
view his action in that behalf?
The writ of certiorari is writ of re-
pose of reviewing final determinations
and adjudications Of inferior tribunals,
boards or officers exercising judicial
functions when there is no appeal nor
any plain, speedy or adequate remedy

San Frauciscos /. Oaklauds o.

For six innings Cal Ewing's packers Of
dress-suit cases and Uncle Harris sting
ers failed to score. Then the locals bit
off chunk Of luck and forced the scorer
TO pull the cord that rang the bell that
woke the boy who works on the score
board. The Dudes were in bad luck and
they gave the boy no necessary or un-
necessary labor.
Up 10 the seventh inning the play was
of g peculiar order, few hits plenty Of
men on bases and no runs. This Is how
the game was won and why Ewing smiles
no more. Riley famed thrice and said
something not in polite vocabularies. Then
Mr.. Pyne took a stick and made the first
station by an honest safe hit Fitzpatrick
played Casey at the bat and went to the
benches after three air-slashing fans. All
this time Pyne played love game with

as If there was q chance for the DuSes.

TOLL ON FUNERALS.
Legal Argument in Baltimore ON q
Disputed Question.

Legal Argument in Baltimore ON q
Disputed Question.
BALTIMORE, Nd. Oct. 28.-The much
disputed question as to the right OF the
owners of the Frederick turnpike to charge
tolls on funerals was before Justice Smith
yesterday. Joseph H. Miller, toll collector
at gate No. l. on the Frederick Road. was
arrested on the charge Of collecting tolls
from the funeral Of the late Patrolman Mil q.
ton Schenkel on Tuesday of last week.
Against the turnpike company appeared
Undertaken William ]. Tickner. who con-
Quoted the funeral; Jacob Schenkel, the
father Of the deceased. and Rev. E. Morley
Murray, pastor of Henshaw Memorial
Church. The complainants claimed that the
the charter right of the company to charge
tolls was restricted by special act of the
legislature. exampting funerals.
For 'the company. the president. Charles
W Slagle. appeared, and made the claim
that the special act OF the legislature was
unconstitutional, inasmuch as the charter
was in the nature of a coptract, and the
special act exempting funerals was passed
at date subsequent to the granting of the
charter. A decision to this effect by Judge
T. Parker Scott in the city court was cited.
Justice Smith reserved the decision until
November next. in order to have time to
examine the charter and authorities. All
the undertakers Of the city are much inter-
ested in the case. as they have been regu-
larly paying tolls on funerals.
