Last week It was 'expected that each union would vote on- a proposi tion to surrender its Individual char ter and accept one charter for all the organizations. Tuesday night union No. 161 met and after a long dlscus siondecided to defer action. It is oald that the reason forthis is that there is no certainty that the other unions will Join No. 151 in the movement. Varnisaers' and polishers' union No. 134 at its meeting Tuesday night com pleted arrangements for the ball to be given Octaber 28 at Steigemann's hall. The union initiated one applicant and admitted two on cards. Business Vas repored satisfactory. Timothy Cronln "has been appointed by International President P. J. Flan nery as district organizer for. the freight handlers and railway clerks. The marble, tile and grate setters' union has made arrangements for. a ball to be given November 1 In Garden rink. At the meeting of steam fitters' union No. 46 in the Labor temple last night a communication was read to the effect that the Jurisdictional question had not been decided by President Qompers of the American federation of labor. In consequence of this question the steam fitters have been - out on strike since laet May. The matter was thoroughly explained before the executive body several weeks ago.'- There was con siderable dissatisfaction expressed at the delay of the president in not de ciding the matter. The union donated $80 to the carmen and a like sum to the telephone opera tors' union for the benefit of those operators who have not yet been given their former places by the company. A member who was in— distress was do nated Jlls to enable ; him to make a final payment on his home. The meet ing.nvaa addressed by the president of the labor council and J. F. Moran. . Electrlcal^mechanics' local No. 1 at its meeting in Roesch hall last night donated $100 to the commercial teleg raphers and heard an appeal for ; aid from the telephone operators. The re quest was taken under consideration. The union Indorsed the request of the members of the fire department for bet ter pay and for vacation. . CHILD'S LIKING FOR FIRE MAY CAUSE ITS DEATH Pours Coal Oil Upon Blaze in Stove and Is Enve|oped by the Flames Seven year old Floramana Camberti was severely burned yesterday for the second time at her home, 1207 Kearny street, and the physicians fear that ehe will not recover. The child was taken to the Children's hospital. , - Floramana -was left alone ' yesterday morning at her home on Telegraph hill, and to* satisfy her, desire to see the big red flames, she built an enorm ous fira in the stove. She poured- coal oil upon it and In an instant was her self enveloped .in fire. She screamed and William Ellis, a neighbor, rushed to her rescue. He found her uncons cious on the floor.' The flames were quenched and the little victim was taken to tbe hospital. WAIDJIAX CASE.. DISMISSED t The : case of E. J. Waldman, charged with obtaining money by false preten ses, was dismissed by Police Judge Weller yesterday. Waldman was..ac cused by D. S. Cohn, 368 Bush' street, of obtaining |2,000 / from him : . on November 1, 1904, by falsely repre senting that he had secured an option on mining claims near Gold field. Waid man came from San .

Booth, general agent- ot the pas- i-j senger -department "For several! months past a now line about 13 m!li»9t in lenpth has been under consideration,? which will shorten the Union Paclfla \ nine m«p». That is to say, on a'stretoh i of road about 13 miles In lenarth we will J cut out nine miles. Some idea otthe* tremendous amount ot 'work involved ' may be conceived from the tact that \u25ba\u25a0' In coustructlss; ' thoso ; twelve mile* It \u25a0 is necessary to excavate more than ' 3.000.000 cubic yards of material and '• make three immense fills which will r<*- 1 quire about 2,500.000 cubic yards. Thei" is one embankment alone which will • be from 60 to 80 feet high,, and will require over 1,500,000' cubic yards -of ' material. One , fill will be one. and an \u25a0 eighth miles in length; while there are' two others each of which is a half mile in length. The new line crosses over four other railroad lines. At pr^a-. ent about two and two- thirds of th« j work is completed, and we expect lha line will be finished ', and double! tracked by November. I might say this; Is only, one of the many otner Improve- 1 ments contemplated which will eventn- • ally make the Union Pacific as nearly: a level air line 'as brains and money can accomplish, and the saving tn tixn«' and economy In operation will be splen did Interest on the necessary Invest ment.** : One of the, matters decided at/th9j recent meeting between the eastern! end the western lines in New York city was that in future no change In through rates could be made except at a trans continental meeting. The reason for this Is ' that the lines east' of Chlca'go have now a representation in the meet- 1 : ing, - and all changes In rates must be submitted *, to them; therefore it Is not | ; practicable * to make a contemplated \u25a0 change with the Individual lines. The committee of the eastern lines having | representatives -In the transcontinental ! meetings are to pass upon all changes for their respective Interests. "You should try to get Into society.T said a young railroad man to his clerk, who had a black eye and a damaged nose in : consequence of having remon strated with a chauffeur "not to be too fresh" to a, young lady he was treating to an Iced soda at a beach resort. "So ciety," 'he continued, "has a refining influence on a man. Look at me. There Is no man so sought after by the fash ionable and wealthy of San Francisco as myself. It is because I have always been careful to pick my friends and you see what • you have got because you are not careful — a black eye and •^You're wanted at the phone," said the (clerk, glad of the Interruption in the sermon. , . "Ha, ha." laughed the railroad .man in: a high falsetto voice, **ls that you? Wednesday night? "Well, ; I'll have to see. Just wait a few moments and Til consult the tablets of my memory," and he put ' down the 'phone, but the clerk bad an ear glued to the other 'phone, and he learned something of the ways of society. "Ob, yes, have him, of course," said a feminine voice. "We can't get anoth er solitary man, and he'll do in a pinch," and then the clerk with thn black eye ; concluded that his kind of society was good enough for him. >' H.
