STRUCK A SNAG.
Passengers Were Thrown
From a Car.
How Mischievous Boys Came Near
Causing Wreck Which Might
Have Been Very Serious.

The passengers on car IL of the Cali
fornis-street line which runs down Jones
street to O'Farrell had narrow escape
from sudden death yesterday afternoon.
AS it was two passengers were seriously
injured and nine or ten were badly shaken
up aud bruised.
It appears that the accident was not
caused through any neglect of the COM
pany, but some mischievous boys had
placed bar Of iron across the SLOT in the
Jones-street track. When the car struck
the iron bar it slid along the track until il
struck the rails of the Geary-street line,
aud then the car came to a standstill,
which was so violent that it threw every
body off the dummy, and those who were
inside The car fell in heap on the floor
The gripman, j. 1sham, was hurled over
the front of the dummy by the shock and
badly bruised about the head and body.
The conductor. T. j. White, was also
thrown off the car and sustained various
bruises about the body.
The injured persons we're as follows

from the East are not enough to satisfy

Baden Butchers Reduce
Prices of Meat.
War Begins Against the Local
Wholesalers and Retail Men
May Leave the Union.

Meat was never so cheap in the history
OF San Francisco as it is at present. or
rather there never was such disparity in
the prices of meat, aud all because the
Baden Abattoir Company has started
war against the wholesale butchers.
Meat at 9 cents a pound Wholesale de-
liyered at retail butcher-shops in this city
is the offer made by the Chicago men at
Baden. To meet this cut no move has
been made by the local wholesalers, who
have decided to ignore every action taken
by their ambitious competitors. So meat
may be bought for whatever the house.
wife wishes to pay, although the price
must be regulated according to the shop.
If a Baden shop is patroniZed meat is
cheaper than eve ,before, if il be an old
established stall there is no difference.
The reason is the wholesale butchers
have board of trade-an exclusive and
business-like organization-that controls
prices, and besides they taboo Baden
meats as inferior to theirs in quality. With
what truth the latter assertion Is made IS
a matter for the consumers to decide. The
butchers have claimed all along that the
refrigeratne process is not necessary In
this climate, and go further In stating that
meats thus treated do not keep so well
as IL troaLeU Id tu0 couN6uilOuhl HduueT
as practiced at South San francisco. They
say 1t loses its freshness of appearance
after removal from refrigerators and does
not give satisfaction in making boiled
dishes or for soups. On the other hand,
the Baden people assert theirs is process
founded on scientific principles and the
most healthful yet discovered; and as for
the commercial value of their products, it
,nA ised rather than reduced thereby.
1ney say: "Why should we freeze our
meat if freezing injured t?"
war has begun anyhow, and Baden
meat is selling at 2 cents a pound to retail
butchers who are notin the union, or board
of trade, as the union is called. Fighting
so far has been all one sided. though there
are indications of real war in the lin.
mediate future. The retail butchers. with
few exceptions, are in the butchers board
of trade, and consequently cannot buy
meat of the Baden company without in
curing penalty. So long, therefore. as
the union remains power prices cannot
be effected materially.
Naturally among such large number OF
men as the union numbers there are dis.
affected ones who wish to kick over the
traces and be Independent. Such state
OF affairs is said to exist in the union-
Notwithstanding it is kept secret. "Many
