BASE-HALL TOPICS.
Consolidation to Be Discnssed
Tills Week.
A Meeting Set for Tuesday When the Question
Will Be tiled-Gossip Concerning
the Players.
When Finn gets back from Los Angeles
be ami Harris, Robinson, President Mone
and Mr. Vanderbeck will talk some more
about consolidation. They may also give
vent to a few remarks on the advisability of
dumping Sacramento aid gathering Los
Angeles into the base-ball fold.
In the meantime many rumors are afloat
as to what will eventually be done, but no
one seems to know just how these all
absorbing questions will be* settled. An
executive meeting, it is said, will be held on
Tuesday of this week.
It has not been so very long ago that a
number of magnates representing the two
leagues met in this city ami decided to con
aolidate if a reasonable rate could be se
cured with the railroad company. Then
the northern men went home to further dis
cuss the subject with their colleagues, while
a committee of magnates hire conferred
with the transportation people, lhe result
of this interview was not encouraging, still
the California magnates buns on yet a little
while longer, wailing to hear a consolida
tion chirrup from the Pacific northwest
Nothing was heard, however, save a robust
kick, which now and tl.en came by Associ
ated Pres.. from Henry Hudson of Port
land.
After several days spent a earnest
thought on the subject the California mag-
"Itrxc tl". I'CU hkr my ctlrvet t','
"IfOtd. Uoir are mtj inthuots t"
nates decided to conform to the view of the
railroad company and shelve the consolida
tion scheme for this season. There was not
enough profit In the plan for both. N
sooner had the news of this decision struck
the northern coast than the heretofore silent
Pacific Northwest people broke out with a
fierce, in-atiahle de-he to consolidate the
leagues. They immediately tudd a meeting,
appointed a committee and said they wuuid
enter heartily into the scheme.
it is. said of them tiiat ihey aie now pa
tient waiting to hear fre*ui the original
consolidatcrs of ba-*e-hall leagues. If ill
is the case why don't the California mag
nates get together nnd hold another meet
ing, anyhow, if f.r no f ther rpa--ou than
because it is their regular turn tn eio so.
They certainly/cannot expect tin- Northern
mm to cctiS' lid ate twice to their once*, and
they so far away. Iv the event of prolonged
silence here they .North west League may go
off somewhere ar.d consolidate by i.seif.
Hence the necessity for immediate action.
PUTTING IN A TEAM.
At prf*--ht Mr* \ under beck, who has
secured the L*is Alleles franchise in the
event of consolidatii n, is the busiest man in
ttie business. This energetic young man
ager is nol certaiu whether or not the city
he represents will be in the circuit, but
he is already at wcrk laying the corner
stone of a winning team. He has studied
the situation; ami '.bink* that the intro
ductieu of L"S Angeles will result in pleas
ure and profit to all cone-rued. Captain
(.lenalvin, late of Portland, is at the head
of the \ anderbeck aggregation, and the
manager has la'eiy been talking with sev
eral wi-!.-known California player-*, who do
not know which way they will jump when
the scan n opens. It is safe to say thai if
the City of Anueis i- admitted to the league
she v. ill have a team abundantly able to
bold its own In tiie race for gate receipts
anil cl rv. Harris favors Los Angeles, and
Mr. Finn's opinion wiil be re.i forthe
pre*- in a f-w days.
Colonel T. Parachute Robinson, so called
because he shows a dispisition to let the
other magnates down easy after that freeze
out scheme, is lhe only one who opposes
Los Anteies as a league town. He lav
fcacramento lor the reason, perhaps, that
next to him the Senators lost more games
tban any of the other teams. i tie Colonel
says, however, ti at be would be pleased to
assign L"S Aug* a plac« iv a six-club
league should on. be formed. Ha wouid
like to see the circuit extended.
But the otiier magnates object to tne six
clubs on the ground tnat the larger towns
would haye to support the smaller, and this
is where the wheels of progress ai*- blocked
again. Should the southern city be substi
luted in pace of Sacramento and then fail
to realize all that is expected tf it the gall
ing yoke of unrequited enterprise will bear
baider on the necks of the magnates than it
did last year with bur league towns
bunched, ihe difference in .road fare to
and from San Francisco is about $18 per
man in favor of Sacramento. Uule-s base
ball booms this would rip quite a hole in
the trea-ury in a suason of eight mont is.
It seems to make no difference to the
Colonel which town captures the prize so
long as his beloved Oakland, the home of
tbe tail-ender and 202 defeats, i*. allowed to
remain in , ti.e It ague. He is not saying
much, but gives hi. friends to understand
that he is getting together a team the like
of which, for refinement and genteel de
portment, both at heme and abroad, has
never been seen on any diamond. The
Colonel forgot to state whether or not these
paragons of good breeding could play ball.
He probably doesn't know and will leave
that problem for his unhappy colleagues to
solve.
Notes of the flayers.
Charley Dooley, who is playing such an
adiiiiiabie first base for tha San Jose team,
played with the crack Los Angelas Club
seme ears ago, say* tiie Herald. The sport
ing editor unearthed Dooley. It was In
boom flays, and the handsome Charley was
then looking after the circulation of a
local paper. The Philadelphia* were
scheduled to play one Sunday. Los Au
aeles had a great team, which included
such well-known players as Joe Quest,
Whitehead, Ebright, Jevne nnd Wilmot.
The day for the great base-ball mate came
around, but the pitcher that was expected
failed to arrive and alter a confab it was
ascertained that Dooley had pitched for a
club in one of ibe minor leagues in Penn
sylvania. Consequently Dooley was se
lected to do the twirling.
The game was played, at Sixth-street
Park. Wood was first up for the Phillies.
He banged the ball over the fence for a
home-run. Mulvey repeated the operation.
P. or Jim Fogerty was the next batter. He
kept up the racket and sent the first ball
clean out of the grounds. This settled the
good-looking Mr. Dooley. Three home-runs
for three pitched balls is the world's record.
Injustice to Mr. Dooley it should be stated
that he went into the pitcher's box without
any preparation.
During these pleasant winter days the
ball-players divide their spare time be
tween talking consolidation and eating
clams. The former is done most anywhere,
but the latter and more cheerful paitime is
confined exclusively to the wave-washed
shores of Alameda, which break abruptly
at the foot of Second avenue. Regularly
once each week a party from this side joins
a crowd of those who live across the bay
■na Indulge in a barbecue of bailed clams
mixed with bard, indigestible sand from
Alameda s shore. Lou Hardie owns the
pot iv which the bivalves ai'e cooked, and
Patsy Cahlll furnishes the shovel with
Which they are exhumed from their living
graves. Most any bright afternoon Lou
may be seen driving along the beach with a
hoge black iron pot dangling from the near
axle of his buegy. If he sees ■ party whom
be thinks has designs upon the watery
oyed clam of Alameda he politely proffers
bis pot, and then goes in search of Patsy
and his shovel.
In digging for clams Patsy employs a
stem which he Introduced here himself.
He first selects a spot where he thinks the
clams are browsing, all unconscious of their
danger. Then he digs a bole about four
feet square in the sand, starts one side to
caving in and follows this miniature land
slide, picking up the clams as they are ex
posed to view. In this way he soon gets
_Z_i__~L, 'or a mess. The eljms ar«j always
dumped into -L: T-t and boiled with their
coffins on. ■ , „ . ...
Ball players and others have all doubtless
beard the expression, "happy as a clam at
high water." Few, if any know why the
clam should be particularly hilarious at high
water, but this is the real re son: A' high
tide tnat portion of the b-ach in which the
clam does business is cove-red with from
three to ten feet of water, ami it is there
fore utterly impossible for Patsy Cahlll to
get at him with his short-handled shovel.
No wonder, then, that the clam's life is
one unbroken dream of bliss at flood tide.
No less than five' of the young men who
played ball here the past season are now in
the theatrical business, or have been at
seme time in their lives. Four of them are
graduates from the Colonel's school of com
edy. The lamented Mr. Lawson, after he
was fired fr.m the Oakland team, joined a
gaiety company in the East. Mr. Law son's
part in the cast was not mentioned en the
programme, but he was probably chewing
1 aste for the bill-sticker.
When Jack Godar was relieved of the
arduous duty of guarding third base for the
Colonel he joined a spectacular show and
took charge of the moonlight department
ami directed pale, silvery beams on the
Amazons who did the grand march.
Pete Soinmers, before coming here to be
clasped to the Colonel's yearning bosom for
a short while, whs doing a break-neck song
and nee act on the variety stages of Chi
cago and other large cities.
The latest star tt at lias broken loose
from Robinson's galaxy is Danny Long,
who has gone on the re ad with the " L and
I " Company, after playing a heartrending
engagement with the "We ami Tip" Farce
Comedy Company. Next we will bear of
the Colonel's men getting jobs in dime
museums.
Toby Lyon», who pitched for Hani? early
in the season; is now doing a refined son.;
ana dance for his daily bread, but would
rather play ball fcr beer.

CHRISTIAN WOMEN.
Close of the Association's First
Convention.
Morning Services He'd in Four Church. s.
Miss Wilson Tells Hew Cirls Are Aided
Thrcughcnt the Union.
The first annual convention of the Young
"Women's Christian A*"-oeiation of tho State
was brought to a tei mination yesterday by
services^ being held in four of the lending
churches of the city. The convention has
been an unqualified success on account of
tl c collections maele to assist iv futthering
the work, and al-o on account of the wide
spread interest tne aimVnhd objects of the
association have excited iv religious circles.
The association ii as yet yot.ng on this
Coast, but bids air to soon assume great
proportions.
The convention a-sembled as early as
half-past .» o'click yt-s'.eniay morning in
the a-sociation building on Sutter street
and held a consecration service. Only
women were pie*ent. Misa Annie Stewart
was caJied upon to rreside. The services
consisted ch.rfly_of devout praying on the
part cf the delegates aid the dedication of
themselves to some good work to be per
formed during th;. yea-.
On the conclusion of these services exer
cises were he'd nt three different churches
at the same time, some of the de.-.
guing to one church and some to another.
BERVICEB IN CHURCH.
At Calvary Presbyterian Church an ex
tended address was delivered by .*- M. Say
f rd, the college evangelist of New York,
who spoke of the reasons why the Young
dim's Christian As-ociatbm should be
fostered and encouraged. Be spoke of the
thousand* of self-supporting giris in the dif
ferent large cities, ninny of whom are
in factories and without home influences.
They throng the stieets at night, .eel to
manifold temptations. These young women
should ba reached and brought under i.e. me
and Christian influences, and this was the
object of the young women's organ zation.
At the Firat Baptist Church an address
wan delivered by Mrs. E. Tho.nps.en,
while Miss E* Wilson occupied the pulpit at
the Simps' n M. E. Church. At all of the
churches very encouraging collections were
taken up.
Five o'clock found the delegates Rgaln in
the association ail, where a reception and
general leave-taking took place.
CONCI.UDI.NO EXEECISES.
The concluding exercises of the conven
tion were held during the evening In the
First Presbyterian Church, presided over
by Rev. Dr. Mackenzie.
Oue- of the best and most elaborate papers
of tbe convention was read by Miss Eliza
beth Wilson, Internal Secretary of tiie
organization with headquarters at Chicago.
Her subject was, "The Young Women's
Christian Association and Its Work for
Young Women." Miss Wilson was enthused
with the theme, and presented in a forcible
manner the ends and aims of the associa
tion. She said that the aims of the associa
tion were four-fold *, that is, that it slrived to
reach and touch women in a four-fold man
ner, affe. ting her social, physical, intellec
tual and spiritual natures. The association
pursued the same end-, laid the same plans,
used the same methods and met with the
same success, whether the branch was in
Maine or California. The last end of the
organization was the ev-ngeliral part, or
the leading of woman to Christianity.
TO TEACH AMi TRACT.
There were plenty of good women who
never thought of their unchristian sisters
and never raised a finger to bring tlietn into
the church. Tbe object of the order was to
teach and train these women to bring their
Influence and use their efforts in loading
others to the church. The secular, social
and i hysical training objects were all sub
ordinate to this bringing of women to Christ,
Miss Wilson srt foitli the many ad
vantages the association gave to homeless
young women. It give then a place to stay
In the evening, it brought them friends, it
gave them a chance of getting good and Chris
tian advice when In trouble and extended to
them better opportunities of. obtaining
places. Besides these there were the
advantages of receiving physical training,
learning industrial and useful occupations,
such as typewriting and short-hand. In
this respect the association was on an exact
parall<*l with the young men's. But the
secular work is only a means to an end, and
subordinate to the spiritual .object of mak
ing women worthy of the life to come.
TEN THOUSAND MEMBERS.
The speaker s id there were 250 branches
of the association i.i tho United States, to
which belonged over 10,000 young women.
The field for growth was wide, as. there are
3,000,000 self-supporting young women in the
Uuioii. aud of the 10,000,000 young women
in the land only 4,000,000 beloug to evan
gelical churches.
11. J. McCoy followed, and said that the
objects of the association were not leforma
tory, but preventive. It saved young
women from falling. He paid a glowing
tribute to the Salvation Army for its work
in the slums, aud said the world was tired
of that kind of religion and gospel preach
ing that does not *xtend sympathy and help
to the individuals it would seek to save.
Mr. McCoy made an energetic appeal for
financial aid, and a handsome collection
was the result. Many of the congregation
at the conclusion of the services congratu
lated Miss Wilson on her excellent paper,

Severely.
Officers Murray and Wren at an early
hour yesterday morning arrested three
young men who gave the names of Tim
Hastings, Joe Carroll and Tom Burke, and
bonked them at the Central Station on
charges of assault to rob. The officers
caught the prisoners beating George Peter
son, a waiter, with .-. club loaded with lead
on Pacific street. They had iuflicted sev

Sunday Oddities on (ho City's
Water Front.
Some Sights Which the Visiting Journalists
Unfortunately Did Not See— Queer
Ways of Making a Living.
The guileless hoosler who wants to get
well posted in the ways that are dark and
the tricks that are vain cannot do better
than stroll along the city front in San Fran
cisco on a fine Sunday afternoon between
the hours of 12 and 3 o'clock.
lie will learn a little of a week day, es
pecially if his purse be full and his capacity
for mixed drinks equal to the supply, but
Sunday caps the climax.
There are thousands of San Franciscans
who have not realized half the joys of the
water frout on Sunday afternoon, a fact the
more curious because It doesn't take a three
blocks' Journey to see more of the wo lid's
stage than most men dream of.
'1 hese three blocks may be said to be com
prised let ween the Market-street terminus
and the Washington-street wharf.
Merely to show how many subjects for re
flection are passed by the careless observer,
it may be stated that the presumably hum
ble and despised venders of fish-bait who
do business at the corner of Sacramento,
Market and the water-front do business nt a
rate which would make tho average office
seeker get out of bed in the middle of the
nittht with a sense of opportunities lost.
Fifteen dollars is a poor day's work for the
fish-bait vender on anything like a fair Sun
day, and 81- of the money represents clear
profit-
Just as the average hunter tramps over
twelve miles of marsh land for the doubtful
privilege of shooting three teal ducks worth
65 cents, so it too often happens tint 25
cents expended on spiral worms bring- to
the angler 10 cents worth of fish. Tiie rail
road fare is extra, of course, but experience
costs money, and no angler, from Izaak
Walt n's day to the preaent approximation
to the millennium has ever yet been per
suaded that the bait, as a rule, is worth
more than the catch.
The men wlio make the money along the
water trout of a Sun lay afternoou use a
bait of a more popular and remunerative
character. If, as has been said, a tool is
born every second and a wise man every
hundredth hour; if srlyle erred not in bia

estimate of the population of Edinburgh as
to quality, then San Francisco's support of
her water-front fakirs-ceases to be a matter
ol surprise. There is no attempt at sub*
ti-ly about the business; it is as bare-faced
as it is successful.
Within two hundred yards of the Tiburon
ferry front a CALI. reporter found a score of
fakirs merrily and successfully plying their
trade. Qjilck wits, of course, counted for
something, and it could not be said that
tiiere was no equivalent in all cases. For
instance, the man who could take up a com
mon visiting card and with a pocket-knife
furnish a silhoutte of a bystander at a mere
glance certainly earned his "quarter." Bat
The bait-vrndor.
a* a rule the instincts of gambling and cre
dulity were most successfully appealed to.
Nothing else could explain the ready
showers of dime?, quarters and half-dollars
bestowed on one fakir whoso sole claim to
popularity was the capacity to change his
aspect five times in live minutes. When
first seen he wore a blonde wig, blonde
whiakers and looked like a Pennsylvania
Dutchman returning light-hearted from a
Sheriff's sale of a neighbor's property with
the consciousness of having bought 8100
worth of goods for $_>.
Weary Veteran*.
This pseudo Dutchman, who turned out
afterward to be a variety actor, convulsed
his hearers with an ancient story of tlfb
landlady's pie at the hotel in a neighboring
town. He had found fault with tho pie and
assured the landlady that he had vainly
sought to hammer nails into it. "Sir," said
the lady, "I made pies before you were
born." "Dot vos it," replied the seii-disant
lento -i, "und dis vos vun of them."
While the audience were roaring at the
joke the artist swung a black cloalc over ins
shoulder, tore off the blonde wig and beard,
replaced them with a jet black suit of long
hair, corked Pis eyebrows, slapped on a
Florentine mustache of raven hue, and sang
a snatch of the "Fra Poco" from "Lucia di
Lammermoor." The thing didn't take
twenty seconds, but it drew the attention
of the crowd so fervently that five minutes
later be was selling a warranted corn cure
as fast as eager bauds could grapple for the
boxes at 25 cents ".piece. He was, iv tooth,
a man of many parts.
lis neighbor from this on had an attrac
tion in the shape of a wagon, in which was
seated a lady with a mezzo-soprano voice
and a parlor organ. The organ hud been in
tune once, fco had the voice. As a finale
to the performance came a panegyric by an
orator, who had mistaken his vocation, on
the merits of a compound warranted to set
the bystanders' lives in action tou years
after they bad been cold in the grave.
There must have been torpid livers iv the
crowd, for the quarters were offered quits
as eagerly as the bottles of the anti-bilious
preparation. It was like the Ethiopian's
story of the turkey that could nut be
cioked at Christmas. The critter.hud swal
lowed a box of "antt-billas" pills, and there
was "no bile in 'im."
A little further on the reporter descried
a [singing crowd that betokened either a
verbid or fistic conflict. On Hearing the
spot it appealed that a water-front mission
ary, fcr revenue only, and a champion of
Tom Paine had gotten into a wrangle. The
Tom Pain-ite, fresh from an anniversary
celebration, urged his adversary to "dispute
ii like a man," i nd hurled whole paragraph*
from "Common Sense" and "Age of Reason"
at hi* opponent, who was equally apt with
Biblical quotations. Christianity might bave
land badly at both ends had it not been for
an opportune diversion created by a jew
elry peddler who thundered forth his readi
ness to tie a rope around his neck that no
body could undo, yet which he would slip
off with his little fingers in two seconds.

without the usual law's delays broke up the
theological and polemical controversy. Five
minutes later the jeweler, having fulfilled
his promise of slipping the cords from his
neck, was selling a ring, t^o stud?, a watch
chain and a acarf-pln— all guaranteed su
perior to gold— it two bits for the entire
outfit. He found plenty of customers, too.
A blonde who sells cigarettes at a water
front stand overlooking the sceno of these
Sunday revivals, ai«uied a Call reporter
that the Sunday trade is worth any three
daya in the we. -'It's a poor Sunday that
I don't clear $25," -he said.
Even the weary veterans who doze on the
water-front wharves '* th's part of the city,
Sunday after Sunday, make a good thing of
it by spinning yarn? to confiding strangers
and rocketing the timely quarter. These
veterans re all '-J' I -, or pioneers, with
a statutory warranty in each case. if
they had a bottle tlio name would be blown
on it. A*, it Is, they tell tales of mining
camps and the old hydraulic, and the
Nicaragua transit and the trip around the
Horn, which cause the cynical hearer to
wm, der an ty the ultimate limits imposed on
human credulity.
One of the oddities of the water front on
Sunday afternoons has a history which
might bo lengthened out into a genuine
romance of real life, for even the past four
or five years of the man's life are a little
world of suffering and enterprise Vicenze

SHARP WINS.
He Carries Off Ihe Honors on
Holler Skates.
Three hundred circuits an hour !n the
largest practicable space in the Mechanics'
Pavilion are well calculated to make one
dizzy; yet six enthusiastic roller-skaters
made that number each hour and multiplied
it by the number of hours in the day iv the
lunar cycle ending at 10 o'clock last evening.
'1 he event was a race on rollers for twenty
four hours, which commenced at 10 o'clock
last Saturday evening and ended at the
corresponding hour last evening.
That the Job was not a sinecure is shown
by Blythe and Murphy breaking down.

strengthened by egg omlette. Kenna, who

figure sped about the Inch sure he gathered
quite a backing, all of whom were hearty
in their applause of their protege, for, with
out doubt, that is tho light In which they
regarded him, since they showed It by
raising a special purse of £30 for his benefit.
Knell, who was never in a race before,
came out second best, as he was but one
lap behind the winner. He Is a plucky
fellow, who Is apt to do better next time.
Sharp carried off the honors by a single
lap with his record of 160 miles aiid 7 laps.
Ti.is record is less than bis of last year,
when he made 271 miles alongside of Snow

AMONG THE " VETS."
Many Vamps Attend (lie Funeral
Of "Bill" Hall.
Review of Topics cf Great Interest to Those
"Who Han With the Old Machine-" Our
Engine on the Hill."
The death of William D. L. Hall on
Wednesday last reminds the old vamps that
there is a void in the ranks that they can
not fill. "Bill" Hall, as he was familiarly
called, was the last foreman of Monu
mental 6, succeeding Walter Bohen.who
was killed by being run over by the engine
in 1865. Hall was a man of firmness, of a
quiet disposition, and was ever warmly at
tached to his old comrades. His remains
have been visited by scores of old veterans,
who took a last fond lock at a true friend
and associate, and his funeral from the
Exempts' house yesterday was largely at
tended. He. was dressed in his Exempt
uniform. At the institution of Hook and
Ladder Company 3, in 1874,. Hall was ap
pointed foreman, a position he held for
several years with credit to the service.
Ollt ENGINE ON THE HILL.
The following song was written and sung
in 1805, at a gathering of "Big 6," and be
came at onco very popular among firemen.
Not a firemen's gathering held since but
that it is sung. As copies of It are very
scarce and the words of it are so frequently
asked for, it will be read with interest:
Come, Ltd die*, an.l draw up your chairs;
Let's have a nice sociable time.
V ell talk of the least, for it may ho the last
Ere we hear the old "City Ball" chime.
But before we begin with our chat
Just see that your glasses you till,
And we'll drink a good toast to the pride of the
Coast —
Our engine that's housed on the hill.
V he-re ;.re the Old smiling faces
That useel to Bit here with the crowd—
Who j urn i el in the mi K. nor thought the time long,
ti.it- their merry laugh rang clear aud loud '.'
A. as: They have let us and .gone,
While others onr broken ranks till:
But we'll eelng in their praise of the old merry days
Aud our engine that's housed on the bill.
Thero'« Hossefross, old "Friend" and "Chief."
Whose heart fciiew no danger or fear;
Vi ho tiled to save, now lies In bis grave,
But to- lives iv our memories dear:
Ami as long as our "old machine' runs
Hie memory will linger there still
With the thing ha loved most, his pride and his
boast—
Our engine that's housed on the hill.
There's Boheo and Washington too—
Brave boys who ever drew breath —
Who, when the "llali" rung, nobly jumped for the
tongue.
And went forth to battle with death.
How hrayely hey met their sail fate 1
To save them was past human skill;
They sank with a groan, while ward alone
Sped our engine that's boused on the hill.
But con we'll not talk of the past—
it brings tn my eye the Id;; tear;
But we'll drink to the hoys, whom no danger an-
B JS—
To the laddies who never knew fear;
And when the "Man " strikes the alarm,
With our >te-ain whistle screamlhg out shrill
A space we'll sooa Clear, for they'll know we are
ne-ar
lib our engine that's housed on the hill.
KEEP 1 ill lull- 1 IN HAND.
An old man says the force of the de
partment should be kept well in band.
lien an alarm is sounded three engines
should go to a lite. The others could bo
called immediately if wanted, which is
rarely the yum. This prevents districts
from being uncovered, and, in case of a
second fire, there will be companies promptly
on the way, ready on their arrival lor
service. .Not so if otherwise, when nearly
all the engines are on the ground, hose
str etc hed, and. in the event of a second fire,
much valuable time is lost before the hose
Is reeled up and the engines start, and the
lire has gained urcat headway. Play low
aud always look out for the rear of a lire;
fight it, not follow it. This is applicable to
departments outside of this city. This
city is divided into six districts, a certain
number "i engines, etc., are located in the
same, and are in charge of an assistant

CHIEI 8 AND ASSISTANTS.
Whitney, during his first and second
term-, as Chief, had only two aids, His first
assistant was Henry W. Burckes, who was
foreman of Howard Engine Company No.
3 for years and at its dlsbaudment. His
second assistant was Chailes 11. Ackerson,
who had been foreman of California No. 4.
A few mouths before Whitney retired
Burckes was succeeded by C. Mooney.
C. H. Ackerson, during the seven months
he was chief, from July 20, 1870, to April.
I*7l. had ton Mooney, who had been first
assistant engineer of the Volunteer Depart
ment, George VV. Corbel . who after a few
mouths resigned, and Mat lirady, pre
viously a driver of Engine 5, and a hose
man In i! Be I was appointed in his stead.
David Scanned, during his first term as
Chief to April, 1873, had lor assistants C.
•1 icy, M. Brady, John E. Boss and
(ieorge \V. Curl ■• lb>ss had beeu a mem
ber of Knickerbocker 5 In the old depart

time the present department was organized
until within a few months before he was
elected an assistant George W. Corbel I
was a prominent mem of Monumental C.
Dining Scanned* term as Chief the la*
was changed so as to increase the number
of assistant engineers from two to four.
During Whitney's third ami last term as
Chief lie had for assistants 11. Vf. Burckes,
George W. Corbel I, M. Brady and J. E.
Boss. ben the latter was retired Bom
bard Wolff, who had been foreman of Wash
ington Hose 1 of the old and Hose 4 of the
new departments, took his place.
Since Chief Scanuell succeeded Whitney
his assistants have been H. W. Burckes,
Mat Brady, G. W. Corbell and B. Wolff.
On Burckes being retired he was succeeded
by Brady. James Riley, who had been a
member of Knickerbocker No. C and fore
man of Engine 1, succeeded Wolff, aud
John E. Rosa became assistant engineer.
George W. Kennsrd, a member of Knicker
bocker No, 5 and foreman of Engino 5, suc
ceeded Q. W. Corbell as assistant engineer.
The ' ffice of Assistant Chief was created
in 1878 aud M. Brady was appointed to the
position, and August Imbue, foreman of
Manhattan No. '2 and also foreman of Truck
1, look Brady's place as an assistant.
John McCarthy, who had beeu a mem
ber of old Knickerbocker No. 5, dray

to En slue 0; John Wills, who hasbeen a
member of Hose .'■, driver of and hoseinan of
Engine 2 and carpenter of the department
were appointed Assistant Engineers, by per
mission of the Supervisors.
AUDITOR SMILKY'S WORK.
Since T. J. 1.. Smiley has been Auditor lie
has caused the extra engineers untold
trouble, and a writ to compel him to audit
their salaries Is now pending before Judge
Wallace. Smiley has also a writ of quo
warranto out lo have them show cause why
they hold office, as by the act of 1878 four
assistants and one assistant chief engineer
are only provided for, whereas there are
two assistant chiefs and six assistant or
district engineers on duty.
The knowledge that they are "quietly
passing away like a cool summer day" has
caused the old firemen to join with tho
Grand Army "Vets" in several cities in
observing Memorial day. To this end it Is
certain that the graves of old firemen will
be mote generally strewn with flowers than
ever this year.

SOCIETY OF VOMJ.NT__I.nS.
There is some talk of organizing a society
to bo known as tho Volunteer Firemen's
Association of San Francisco. Any fireman
that was a member at any time of any com
pany, or was attached to a hose company
connected with an engine company, will be
eligible for membership. In fact, says oue
of the projectors, the aim is to get up a
through anu through 'Frisco organization,
and to take in those who polled the hose
carts for the engines, but were really not
regular membera of the old department.
The Veteran Firemen take in any volunteer
fireman, no matter in what part of the
United Stales he ran with the machine.
Hick Tcnnant, an old fireman, has long
been a resident of Portland.
Colonel James K. Nuttinan, who was
chief (if the volunteer department in I * *"■'*,
Is now in New York City, where lie re
cently was noted as present at a banquet to
old vets.
Walter C. Hinckley, who succeeded Sam
Rainey as engineer of Engine 1, aud
who was afterward in Nos. 8 and G, has an
improved clamp to stop break, in hose.
The San Francisco department now con
sists of eighteen steam fire engine?, three
chemical, one water tower, nine hose aud
five truck companies. The tire patrol Is
composed of two companies, in charge of
Captain White, and is run at the expense
of the Fire Underwriters, who also appoint
and jay the salary of the Fire Marshal.
Thomas Chandler, the retired veteran
prize fisrhlor, wns once foreman of Hose 1.
Fred C. Warner, who did service in Truck
1 for years, both as tillerraan and ladder
erector. is still quite a vocalist.
lid OK HICK NO. 1.
Before a steam fire engine company was
located there they had a volunteer angina
company known as broderick Ho. 1 In
South San Francisco, supplied by the city
with a hand-engine, a hose-cart and located
in a house rented by the city on Fourteenth
avenue. The company did good service in
protecting not only their own section but
also the Potrero. C. J. Gillen was foreman
and they had a full roll at all times.
Without doubt the Veterans' Association
is the hobby of John Fay, its popular Pres
ident. Ile -takes a very active interest in
its affairs. Being a large property-owner,
with plenty of leisure time, it appears to be
bis great work in advancing the welfare of
the veterans and their association, lie is
to be found at stated times, days and even
ings, at their rooms. lie is prompt, and as
Uncle Billy Smith remarks, •'Why, if he
was President of a bank he could be no
more particular or businesslike." He is
enthusiastic and earnest, and a natural-born
leader of men, hence the great confidence
reposed in him. He cares not for the politi
cal arena— his joy is the veteran firemen.
SAM DAVIS' DOG NIBS.
Sam Davis had a growl in the vets' room
the other day. It was with his dog Nibs.
He being a bachelor believes the best friend
to man is bis dog. His dog is a thorough
bred terrier, but he often gets his owner iuto
hot water. Sam, who is a bricklayer, often
is called to duly at the Mint. '• nile in
there the other d.iv talking to a workman
who was putting fire-brick in the boiler by
aid of a candle stuck to a block, Nibs, on
his master's back being turned, grabbed the
block in his mouth and made a bee line for
home, leaving the workman in darkness and
the most worried state of mind as to bow to
grope his way in the darkness.
John Cooke, who has just been placed on
the retired list, was stoker of Engine 7, on
Sixteenth street, for some twenty- four
years, and previous to that was a member
of Crescent 10 in the Volunteer Depart
ment, from which be is exempt. Driving a
hose-cart and firing an engine when in ser
vice for such a length of lime is a showing
which no other stoker can make.
Aruop Bainbrldge, the detective, is an
old Exempt fireman and was at one lime
Secretary of the Exempts.
THAT CHARITABLE ITM).
The Finance Committee of the Super
visors a year ago investigated the affairs of
the paid Fire Department Charitable Fund,
and found it had assumed a strange state;
that £7000 had been drawn and placed in the
cm-tody of John Dougherty, Chairman of
the Democratic County Committee, for safe
keeping and legal expenses. From the fact
that one-half the fives c dlected for the vio
lation of tue fire ordinance, and one-half
received from the permits for the sale of tire
works, is paid iuto the fund, the Super vis.
ors considered that the payment of the
money waa without authority, 'lhe ques
tion whether one dollar paid by each mem
ber into tim fuud is voluntary or an
enforced payment was not clear, the evi
dence being contradictory. The committee
prepared an ordinance, which was passed
by the Supervisors and signed by the
Mayor, placing the whole matter in the
bauds of lb Fite Commissioners, one to be
Chairman of the fund, another Treasurer,
and the clerk of the board Secretary. It
does not appear as If the ordinance was
noticed in ay way or taken cognizance of
In any way whatever by the Fire Com
missioners. It certainly has not, for on
Monday last a resolution was adopted "that
George F. Maxwell, Secretary of the Board
of Fire Commissioners is hereby required to
ii.ij- all moneys In bis keeping received for
the San Francisco Paid Fire Department
Charitable Fund as its proportion of hues
and fees prescribed in Order 1917 of this
board into the City and County Treasury
to the credit of the General Fund, said
moneys being held by him. under instruc
tions of this board, until further order for
the disposition of the same, which is hereby
given." The anxiety is great to know bow
much of the (6000 Dougi city bad on hand
wben ho appeared before the late Grand
Jury tind what disposition he has made of
tho balance.
IT IS I.ATIIEII STRANGE.
No doubt as It was given to him for safe
keeping and legal expenses, some of it went
for defending the suit brought for reinstate
ment by Broad, and quite a little for counsel
for Parse and J ove.*. in the < use brought by
Johu D. Daly and William ProlL it seems
strange to the public that charitable fund
money is used in this way, but not to those
on the inside. It will be remembered that
former members of the Fire Department
some time after election boldly proclaimed
that the Fire Department charitable-fund
money was used for this purpose, which was
as vigorously denied. Chief Scannell, in
denying it. said tin- story was the work of
Con Mooney, his former assistant chief.
The rumors and loud talk caused the inves
tigation.
Ex-Commissioner Newman's latest charge,
that Commissioner Schmitt "is out for the
dust," has fallen like a bombshell. Schmitt
has not replied to the charge as yet.
Tho Supervisorial Fire Committee has
authorized the purchase of another bose
wagon, the cost not to exceed $450. D.in
Hayes, the ex-Superintendent of Steamers,
ls the inventor of the wagon in use.
