WHERE HE DIED.
In a Cozy Little Room Surrounded by
Trophies.

For nearly two-score years Chief Scannell
was domiciled in coZlly furnished little
room over the house OF engine . on Bush
street, near Kearny. The walls OF the room
were adorned with pictures of the Chief at
various ages and with pain tiugs of his hest
friends. Above his own picture painting
of Dave Broderick always had the place of
honor. The room is handsomely adorned
and replete with apparatus, pictures and
numerous presents and souvenirs. The
more noticeable of the latter are rich fire
helmet aud two swords. The helmet, which
is a chiefs white one, is magnificently
mounted in gold and silver, and was for
warded to Chief Scannell when first elected
to his present position by old friends aud
associates in the New York Fire Depart
ment, in which he had served for years.
The two swords are both costly and elegant,
and were both presented to him in connec-
ton with the Mexican War One was given

the Champion Order Of Clever Fellows. a

officers of the Empire Club. The other was
presented TO him by his company in the

inscribed. Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo. Con-

JOOST VS.. BUTLER.
The San Mateo Road Men
Fight On.
What the President of the Sunnyside
Company Claims and What the
Railway President Says.

"Ha! hap laughed President Behrend
Joost of the San Francisco and San Mateo
road yesterday. Butler is squirming;
that's all there is in this talk about our road.
I'VE have seventeen cars running to-day, d"
continued the brignt-eyed little man, chuck
ling as If it were great joke, land soon we
will have twenty-one, the full capacity of
the road being about twenty-five or So"
The difficulty regarding the electric road
seems to have simmered down to a personal
fight between President Joost and Stock
holder C. c. Butler.
Butler maintains that the road Is in a
thoroughly bad condition. This he declares
is due to the inefficiency of the superin-
tendent placed over il by JOOst. He states
that the road is likely TO be placed in the
hands OF receiver, and ;hat the StoeklIeld-
ers were thoroughly dissatisfied with Joost's
management.
SimOns, an electrician. has gone on record
as having said that there was not single
car fit to send ont, and that the rolling
stock and general equipment were alto
gether inadequate.
Now comes Mr.. Joost with an explana-
ton of the trouble. He says Butler is presi-
pent OF the Sunnyside Construction Com
pany, which was granted 81, 100000 worth of
bonds to finish the road in three years.
There is one year yet TO run, but JOost saws
Butler is losing money on his contract and
wants to bust up" the whole thing In order
TO get out OF his bligations.
Butler wants money for his contract
and offered to supply $4,000 from his own
resources to the Sunnyside Company on
condition that would guarantee him against
loss on 100000 worth of notes in the COM
panY which he holds. l hold $780, 900 worth.
II made no reply TO his proposition.
las to SimOns, he was discharged on Sat
urday because he did not suit. K. A. Perry,
the chief engineer, is now full In charge of
the power. This talk against Mertick, the
superintendent. is the result of alleged
economy. They wanted superintendent
at 500 month"; Instead of from SI75 to
$3.50 a month. / say if you want good
work you must pay a man what he is
worth.
But all their talk can't hurt the road or
me. L have done more for San Francisco
than almost any other railroad man and
yet they seek 10 throw mud at me. | shall!
shake the dust of this uagrateiul city from
my feet and 90 to Chicago, think, when
peace is restored on the road"
Despite all the proestations on either
side both parties seem 20 have considerable
personal feeling in the matter and 1t looks
very much If the public is being treated

UNITED BUTCHERS.
The Many Applications for
Membership.
The Proposition Is to Exact a Pledge
Not to Handle Refrigerator
Meat.

About 250 butchers of Alameda and San
Francisco counties met in Eintracht Hall
last night TO hear the report of a committee
appointed to frame a constitution and by
laws for the Butchers and Stock-raisers'
Protective Association OF the Pacific Coast.
Sam Hammond presided with C. Z. Chap
men as acting secretary. The committee
consisted of seven wholesale and seven re-
tail butchers who signed the roll as fol-
lows: 5. Hammond, j. Poly, E. Any, Fl.
Moffat I. Burker. F. Kuhnle, j. II. Nc
Menomy, Il. w. Miller, P. Tautphaus. H.
c. Flage0let, j. w. Owen. G. L. Chapman
and j. Carries OF Hayes & Co.
Secretary Chapman read the report of the
committee and asked those present to come
forward and sign applications for menl-
bership. "a threat" lie said, "has been
made to destroy the retail butcher business.
Under present conditions the retailers can
90 TO fifteen different parties, so that if
dissatisfied with one they can try another,
but if the Baden enterprise succeeds re-
tailers have no redress aud must take what
they can get"
Replying to questions Mr.. Chapman said
the association is pledged not TO buy meat
killed outside of Butchertown. San Fran
cisco. or Butchertown, Oakland. Practi-
cally that excluded refrigerated beef. He
had no doubt the retail butchers OF San
Jose and other towns would take the SAME
action, but this is a matter apart from the
scheme of this association.
Martin Glenn asked if the bylaws did not
conflict with the constitution in requiring
stock-TaiSers to send all their meat 10
ButchertOWn To be killed.
Chairman Hammond explained that the
bylaws and constitution were not under
discussion. Those present were asked
simply to sign applications for admission as
members. When admitted changes in the
bylaws could be made as required He
then referred to the fact that the same OPP
position exists TO refrigerated meat in Chi
cago, ST. Louis and Denver as here, and in
those cities the refrigerated meat brings
several cents q 20 und less than slaughter
house beef. 1t is the same in Philadelphia
and New York.
A recess was then taken to enable the ap-
plications to be signed, and fully 100 sigma
lures were obtained. The association will
be fully organized at the next meeting
which win be secret, as will all future meet
ings. The members will be pledged to
secrecy ard penalties will be imposed for
violation of the rules.
After the signatures had been obtained
the meeting adjourned.
The consensus OF opinion among the
butchers after the meeting was that there
may be hard fight ahead of them. but that
they will win. I'VE are established here"
said one, "and if those people beat us we
deserve TO be turned out"
