DEATH OF E. L. SCANNELL
WELL KNOWN SALT LAKER DIES
IN LONDON.
He Was Interested in Many Utah En-
terprises and Was Prominent
Member of the Masonic Frater-
nifty.

Over the Atlantic yesterday afternoon
flashed cablegram announcing to the
family and many Utah friends of r. l..
Scannell, the sad news of that gentle
mans death in London. Although pre-
paratory messages had been received
the shock to all was very severe, for
Robert Lee ScanneI has been a loving
husband and father and true and
worthy friend. The cause of his death
was nervous prostration, from which
he has been suffering for some time,
and to remedy which he undertook the
sea voyage. He died in his childhood S
home and with relatives, for he was a
native of London, and there his parents
reside. There, too, his remains will be
laid away on Tuesday.
Over the Masonic temple the Stars
and Stripes float at half-mast. The de-
ceased was one of the most prominent
Masons in the west and held the office
of Deputy Grand Master He was 40
years of age, and leaves a.-wife and one
child
Mr.. Scannell came to Utah in 1872
and has been identified with a number
of local enterprises. He was one of
the owners of the Marion group in the

Queer, and held the Office of secretary
of the San Pete Valley Railway COM
pany. The gentleman left this city
several weeks ago at the suggestion of
his physician, and was accompanied by
President Brubeck, of the San Pete
Valley, who went on special company
business. Upon arriving in London
his condition grew worse instead of
better until the end came His many
friends mourn his loss and condole with
his bereayed family

Held No Conferences

Inc saloon mems committee, which
was to have waited upon Chief of
Police Pratt yesterday, failed Of it's
mission, for no consultation with that
official was held. Had the liquor deal
ers put in an appearance and presented
their resolutions, or address, it is more
than likely that the chief would have
told them that when they lived up to
the letter of the Sunday closing law
and ceased to sell the ardent on Sun
day he would listen to their protests
and carefully consider them. but he
could hardly see why he should accede
to their demands while the saloons
were still kept open by the members of
the Liquor Dealers association, in de-
fiance of law and good order. In re-
gard to the prostitution and gambling
propositions, or rather problems, the
chief would probably have told them
that If the police and fire commission
instructed him to close every house of
ill-fame and gambling club he would
do 1t, or go down fighting a gallant
fight, and those who know Arthur
Pratt are ready to bank on his word.
1t has never yet been dishonored.
Sundry and divers rumors, as false
as they are untraceable, of corruption
in the police department have been in
circulation during the past few days,
and in consequence the chief demanded
that the members of the commission
make a thorough personal investiga-
ton as to the methods employed in the
department. The records are open
books and Salt Lake city has never
been given cleaner police administra-
ton than that now being furnished by
Chief Pratt and his men, If there are
any members of the department who
are not above reproach the chief says
he would greatly like to ascertain their
names

A LOVER SECURES A HOSTAGE.
His Young Wife Locked Up, He Locks
I'm Her Mother-A Truce.

Logansport, Ind, Oct. 13.-Charles
Marvin has added further lustre to his
crown by the manner in which he has
won bride. For several years he has
courted Ida Rich, but he has been bit
terly opposed by the girls parents. 1t
was very natural, therefore, that the
young couple, whose love was mutual,
should elope. This they did on Thurs
day They returned to beg forgiveness,
but the brides father locked her in the
cellar and drove his son-in-law from the
premises with shotgun. All night
the bridegroom sat awake bordering
over a plan of rescue. When morning
dawned he sent word to his mother-in-
law TO come and get her daughter S
effects, as he was ready 10 relinquish
all claims. When the old lady came,
she found herself entrapped in her
own net. Marvin locked her in the
house and refused to let her return
She was held as a hostage until last
night, when old man Rich appeared
upon the scene with flag of truce.
Prisoners of war were exchanged and
Marvin and his bride were once more
reunited. The girls mother is also
said 10 be SO favorably impressed with
her son-sn-law during her detention at
his home. that she is anxious to kiss
and make up, and the old gentleman
will doubtless soon be persuaded to go
and do likewise.

stroyed they could not Judge as yet the
amount Of money lost. 1t was probable
that all packages received at points
south Of the robbery were gone, and it
will take some time to ascertain the
loss. Detectives have been sent for
from New York, Philadelphia and
Washington to gather riues. Express
Messenger B. F. Crutchfield, who came
to the general offices here this morning,
left with the detectives from New
York. 1t is the. belief of Mr.. Weir that
he has gone south with the detectives
to helm them in their work

Inspected the Sewer Outlet.

For the purpose Of ascertaining just
what was the damage sustained and
being sustained by Peter Goss, as set
out in his demand for 81, 900 on account
of the delivery of sewerage into the
surplus canal over the river in the vic
unity of his ranch, since March 18th,
the committee on sewers, with the city
engineer and the chairman of the board
of public works added, yesterday made
visit of inspection to the premises,
which are said to have been damaged.
The examination was thorough and the
members Of the committee came to the
conclusion that the property of Mr..
Goss had suffered no damage, and in
@he future would suffer no damage
through the continuation of the city's
present method of dispos!ng of its sew
erage. 1t is more than likely that an
adverse report will be presented at the
next meeting of the council.

MAY Buck the Council.

1t is more than likely that the sprink-
ling contractors will refuse to abide by
the order of the city council to discon-
tinue the sprinkling on all streets ROT
designated by the supervisor of streets
on the ground that the contract is for
seven months and will not expire by
limitation before the tenth day of No
vember. The formal notice has been
served upon them by the supervisor,
but the sprinkling continued yesterday
as usual. The order of the council was
to the effect that the sprinkling should
cease on the 10th, but through some de-
lay the supervisor did not receive Off
cial notice until Friday. It costs 500
daily to sprinkle the streets under the
original contract

BURNED IN GASOLINE.
A Young Woman Trapped in Tent
Stage, the Victim of an Explosion.


New York, Oct ia travelling tent
show, owned by a man named Limo,
was DESTROYED in White Plains last
night by an explosion of gasoline, and
one of the company, Miss Edna u. HUI
bert was burned to death. For several
days the show has been exhibiting here,
the evening performances consisting OF
optical illusions and legerdemain. The
stage was a large wagon in which The
company Travelled, as the audience was
seated in a tent attached to the wagon.
The interior was lighted by means OF
gasoline appliances.
Lind was in the tent and Miss Hur-
bert on the stage arranging The appli-
ances used in the performance. They
were the only members OF the company
present The gasoline took fire from
some unexplained cause AMI an explo-
sion followed, filling the tent with
flames Lind escaped with his clothing
ablaze. and was taken to the Office oe
Dr. Burch near by. His face, arms and
legs were severely burned, but it is
thought that he will recover. Miss
Hurbert was unable to get out Of tie
tent and her agoniZing screams for help
attracted passers-by. Efforts to cnt
through the end of the wagon were
made, but the heat was too intense to
permit anyone entering. The fire &C.
partment had arrived in the meantime
and the firemen reached the imprisoned
young woman. It was too late, how
ever, and when taken out she was dead.
Her body was frightfully burned and
the features almost unrec )gniLable.
Miss Hurbert was a rsn1arka bly,
handsome woman of % years. She was
the Galatea of an optical illusion which
was part of the programme of the
show It is not known how the gaso-
line became ignited. Lind could not
see Miss Herbert after the accident as
the interior of the tent seemed 20 be
filled with fire all over. There was no
opening at the end Of the stage where
the young woman stood and it WAS i'm
possible to cut way for her TO escape
before She was burned.

NOW at y November Gait.

At the present rate the joint city and
county building will be ready for oo-
cupancy by the early part of Novem-
Der and in order that such may be the
state of affairs things are being rushed
in good shape at the building. The
tile men are not making the progress
necessary but the contractors have
sharpened a stick and intend to COM
mence the operations of the week by a
great stride in the direction of compile
ton.
On Friday the hands of the great
clock in the tower began to move
around the dials and now the chimes
play regularly on the various fractions
and the hours. When the building is
connected up for electric lighting at
least one arc lamp will be located in
side of the clock in such a manner that
the time can easily be ascertained at
all hours of the night. In order that
the light may throw the hands and
dial figures into plain relief the glass
on the faces is transparent.
