A host of people in San Francisco will
leceive -with deep feeling o£ regret the
announcement of the death of Madam Ab
igail, a member of the Order of the La
dies of Sacred Heart, who, for a number
of years, performed her devotions within
the walls of the Academy of the Sacrel
Heart at Menlo Park.
Death summoned Madam Abigail late
Sunday afternoon, relieving: her of many
months of patient suffering. She- was the
daughter of Margaret and the late Thom
as Jennings, a pioneer merchant of thlj
city, and sister of Supervisor Thoma3
Jennings and Mrs. P. F. Kingston. About
twelve years ago, a few months after hav
ing reached her majority, she' renounced
the world and prepared herself for admis
sion into the order to which~she had sinco
been sincerely devoted. She was sent
abroad for her preparatory religious edu
cation, and, returning to San Francisco,
entered the academy in this city. Later,
when the new order was founded in Palo
Alto, Madam Abigail was transferred
there. .
Some time ago it became apparent that
her life was to be a short one. She had
fallen a victim of consumption, an aT
fliction which, however, she submitted to
with the greatest fortitude and quietly
awaited the end. Before retiring from the
world Madam Abigail enjoyed a large cir
cle of friends in San Francisco, and her
seemingly untimely dea^h will cause much
ecrrow among those who- recall her In
maidenhood and the many charitable
deeds which she cheerfully performed.
She was 31 years of age.
The funeral takes place this morning:
at 10 o'clock from the Academy of Sacred
Heart at Menlo Park.
T. G. Dabney, a switchman recently em
ployed by the Southern Pacific Company,,
was arrested last evening by Special De
tectives Pat Kindelon and P. Lewln of
the railroad company and his name en
tered on the detinue book at the City
Prison. Dabney was taken into custody
at his room at 821 Bryant street and se
creted In the apartment the officers dis
covered what they allege to be the evi
dence of innumerable larcenies on the
part of the prisoner.
Dabney up to a few days ago was em
ployed as switchman at Dunsmuir, and
it Is claimed by the railroad officials that
he broke into the freight shed and cars
at that point and made away with much
plunder. He fs also accused of entering
the trainmaster's office at Dunsmuir after
the fire and stealing $500 worth of jeweiry
deposited with that official by J. Wilson,
the official watch Inspector of the r<i!l
rcad.
In his room were found fifteen switch
lamps, plate-glass mirrors from Pullman
cars, 1000 cigars, stationery sufficient to
slock a small-sized store and a bunch of
keys with which It is claimed any car
door on any of the lines in the United
States can be opened. Several gold watch
chains corresponding with those stolen
from the northern city were also discov
ered.
Special Detective Kindelon entertains
the suspicion that Dabney may be the
firebug who started the conflagration
which wiped out Dunsmulr, but admits
that he has nothing tangible upon which
to base his suspicions. It is understood
that Sergeant Tom Bainbridge of the
identification bureau of the Police De
partment states that the photograph of
Dabney corresponds very closely with a
circular received by Chief Wittman from
Iowa relative to a man wanted there for
grand larceny. Dabney will be taken to
Dunsmuir and tried on charges of grand
larceny. He stoutly maintains his inno
cence and declares he will be able to clear
himself before a jury.
The amateur footpad who gave the
name of Harvey Atherton when arrested
on Saturday night after holding up Frank
Riiey, at Bush and Broderlck streets, and
William Clark, at Turk and Broderick,
was Identified yesterday morning by his
employer, E. E. Quayle, a milk dealer at
604 Buchanan street, as H. Axtel. Quayle
ssw the footpad's picture in the papers
yesterday morning and at once recognized
h:m. He called upon Captain Martin and
said that Axtel had been working for him
fcr the last two months and on Saturday
night Axtel drew $10 from the wages
owing him, saying he was going to Fruit
vale. Quayle said he understood that Ax
tel's parents lived In Honolulu.
The police are inclined to think that
Axtel is not such an innocent youth as he
would lead them to believe. They learned
from Quayle that he roomed at Market
and Pearl streets, and his room will be
thoroughly searched, with a view to ascer
taining if he has been connected with any
other crimes. When searched on Saiur*.
day night a membership card of the Y. M.
C. A. in the name of H. Axtel was found
in his pocket, but he explained that it was
given him by a young man he met l,\ a
restaurant last Wednesday, "the day after
he arrived from. Florida."
Axtel was held to answer by Police
Judge Cabanlss yesterday on the charge
of robbing Riley, and the charge against
him for robbing Clark was continued till
June 4, as it is expected his trial on ihe
Klley charge will be held in the Superior
Court before that date. Axtel Is anxious
to have the trouble over as soon as pos
sible, and declares he will plead guilty.
He now says his mind was perverted by
reading dime novels, which put the Idea
into his head of playing the bold footpad.
p - 'IIEP-E was a real old-fashioned
jl "rough house" in the chambers
I of Superior Judge Dunne yester-
day morning of the kind that
would have made the bosom of
the late lamented "King" McManus swell
with pride. The participants were Judge
Dunne and County Clerk Albert B. Ma
hony. Bailiff McCarthy and intervening
friends pulled the combatants apart in
time to prevent bloodshed.
The trouble all arose over the removal
cf Donald de V. Graham as clerk of Judge
Dunne's court. Yesterday morning Ma
hony went to the Hall of Justice with A.
H. Elliot, to whom he had given a com
mission as successor to Graham. Elliot
remained outside while Mahony entered
the Judge's chambers to beard the lion In
his den.
Mahony announced that he proposed to
install Graham? successor forthwith.
Dunne Immediately flared up and, in stri
dent tones, denounced the entire Mahony
following. Then the fur fle^.
Dunne led with his left and landed a
lady-like slap on Mahony's cheek. The
County Clerk countered with a right on
the iaw that sent the irascible Jurist
we all went into the alley next to the bt.
(Jeorgep Htable*. Blakely said to Dougherty:
"I want you to make a complete confession
and get me out of this trouble." Dougherty
caid he would, and he madr an appointment
to meet Blakely the next night. On Saturday
night Frank Schrr.'.tz. Joe Blakely. Tom Cor
bett. Blllv Blakely and myself went down to
<ee Dougherty. Joe Blakely and Schmitz stayed
across ih<* sireft. Billy Blakely. Tom Corbett
and myself went over to the alley. Klakejy
and Corbett Btayed in the alley while I went
to the flrehouse to Inquire for Dougherty. They
told me he was in the California Theater and
would b« out between acts. When he came
out Dougherty said. ".Mm. what's the trouble?"
I told him that Blakely wanted to see him
and he walked down toward the alley. He.
Blakely and Corbett went to oi:e side. After
they had been talking some time Dougherty
.ame out of the alley very fast and I h*»ard
liim eav. 'Til go and see the Chief and make n
full confession." Dougherty walked up to the
lire house and w<Mit inside. On his return
Dougherty told Blakely in my hearing, "I can't
do anything until to-morrow at 12 o'clock."
Blakefv said: "You'll have to do it to-nignt.
This will not wait. This ha* gone far enougti
and 1 will wait no longer. If you are trying
to shield your brother I will quit and say no
more but if it i» any one else, you will have
to tell the truth." Dougherty then repeated.
"I'll make a clean breast of it to-morrow.
RlaJcelv says "I won't give you any more
tlmt" Then Tom Corbett said. "Here's the
Mayor's brother. H« has heard every word you
have said." and with that he introduced Frank
Schmitz to Dougherty. Then Schmitz said to
Dougherty. "Why don't you make a clean
hreaFt of it?" And Dougherty said he would
not do a thing until he saw Blakely the next
day.
FHANK SCHMITZ PRESENT.
On the afternoon of the day Dougherty and
Blakely appeared before the Mayor I . met
Dougherty on Bush street and He wtld to me lie
... Killv'g friend, -and I said if what I had
?ead was trueUe was not acting like Blakelys
friend Then he said. if. the matter came before
th» Grand Jury, be. would make a dean breast
of "the -whole works." I am ready to make
this etatement before the Mayor or before any
tribunal.
Frank Schmitz, brother of the Mayor,
made the following statement:
I was too far away to overhear the remarks
made by Dougherty and Blakely. The Jatter
and his friends asked me to accompany them
end I did go. I remained in the background,
ss I felt Dougherty would not talk If he knew
I was present. Blakely talked loudly for my
benefit but Dougherty talked too low for me to
hear. 'l heard Blakely 'say: "Have I not been
your friend? Put me right in this matter, t
d'-n't want to be th» under dog. You have got
to put me straight. I will not wait any
longer." I could not hear what Dougherty said.
Thft four surrounded him. They called me. up
and introducc-d me to Dougherty. I said,
"Dougherty, if you know anything about this
matter, v/hy don't you come out and say so?"
and Dougherty mumbled, "Never mind; not to
night." and "I know what I am doing," and he
walked into the engine-house.
Nicholas C. Brennan. a stenographer.
Mated he did not attend the meeting, but
had met Dougherty last Thursday night
in Sullivan's saloon. He said he was with
Blakely at the time and that the fire
man came in and the three went up the
street to another ealoon and sat down.
In his statement Brennan said:
EXPRESSES BEGRET
Dougherty <?xpreesed regret that he ever
brought Ulakely's name 'nto the affair and said
he would sacrifice his job to undo what he had
done. Dougherty kept repeating hi* regrets
• nd statements that Blakely had nothing to do
with the ' matter. We then went to Michael
Kplnnetti's home and Dougherty repeated hl»
statements to him. The following night
Dougherty, in the presence of Blakely, Brown
ena myself, stated that if the matter went io
tlte Gr*nd Jury he would exonerate Blakely of
all blame.
Tom Corbett corroborates Schmitz,
Brown and Blakely. He was present dur
ing the entire conversation between
Doughfrty and the accused Deputy Coun
ty Clerk and is read/, to tell Mayor
sprawling among the law books on the
table. He followed up his advantage by
climbing upon his prostrate enemy and
swatting him in the region of the waist
band.
Attorney Leon Samuels, who had ac
companied Mahony into the chambers,
called upon tho combatants to "break,"
but the County Clerk was too busy
end the Judge could not. Bailiff McCar
thy and Johnnie Graney, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, rushed int* the room at
this moment and pulled the men apart.
Mahony then demanded and obtained
Graham's keys and turned them, over to
Elliot. Dunne left the Hall of Justice
shortly after the fight, but returned In
the afternoon, still In a white heat, but
showing no marks of the encounter. He
denied that there had been any trouble
in his chambers and said that If Mahony
admitted any such thing he must be
crazy. Mahony freely gave his version
of the. story. He said that Dunne had
made remarks that reflected severely on
the employes of the County Clerk's of
fice, and when he had resented this the
Judge had applied an opprobrious epi
thet to him. He called Dunne a lair and
was struck and then they mixed things.
Schmitz just what Dougherty said. In
discussing the matter last evening Corbett
made the followine statement:
"When Dougherty and Blakely came together
last Saturday right they walked up the alley.
Hlakely went right to him and said: "'Thin
thiriff has come to such a Ptage that you V.-1U
have to come out with the truth. This will
have to come off to-night. If you are trying to
shield your brother. I am willing to stand for
it." Dougherty said: "I will go and see the
Chief and make a full confession," or words to
that effect. He walked away and when he
came back he xaid he wanted until the next
day at noon and he would tl/en confess. I then
introduced the Mayor's . brother to Dougherty
and saldhe had overheard everything and was
ready to take the stand, and testify. Schmitz
advised Dougherty to tell the truth and the
fireman said something and went back to the
fl rehouse.
HOSEMAN STANDS FIRM.
Dougherty has been keeping close to
engine house No. : 2, in order to avoid
meeting Blakely or his friends. He de
nies that he made any confession to
Blakely or any one else and is ready to
go before Mayor Schmitz and testify as
before. He sticks to his story that he
received the examination questions from
Blakely. He says j the statements of
Blakely and others, accusing him of dou
ble, dealing, are untrue and- that at the
proper, time he will deny them.
Chief Sullivan has the greatest faith In
Dougherty. He says he has known him
from infancy and believes he has told the
truth. He thinks an effort has been made
to intimidate the hoseman and he is
ready to protect Dougherty and any other
member of his department. He says no
scandal has disgraced the department for
many years and so long as he is at Its
head he will not permit anything to hurt
its good name. He says Dougherty has
given his word to him that his statement
to the Mayor was the truth, and until it
is conclusively proven that he has been
teNing an untruth he will believe him.
Chief Sullivan called upon the Mayor
yesterday and told that official that he
had seen the article In The Call, In which
it ( was stated that Dougherty had con
fessed, and he had then interviewed the
hoseman and the latter denied It.
This mornlne the Mayor will take up
the Investigation of the scandal surround
ing the examination for Milk Inspectors.
Commissioner McCarthy's name has been
brought Into this affair and he demands
that he be civen a hearing.

Hlakely states that three days before the
investigation the fireman came in uniform
to the court where he is clerk— and there
art witnesses to pwpar that he did— and
told him (Blakely* that he had been
IV reed to give up the questions furnished
him to Chief Sullivan, and that the Chief
had demanded the name of the man who
tave the paper to him, and Dougherty
liad used Blakelys name, knowing that
th*> latter, being his friend, would not
object. Blakely says he used language
more forcible than elegant In reply, an-1
t-cclded Dougherty for bringing him Into
the affair. Dougherty, according to
Blakely, stated he would confess every
thing if it went any further, but he did
riot think it would go further than Chief
Sullivan. Blakely then agreed not to ex
pose his alleged friend, and the matter
rested until the Chief turned It over to
the Mayor for Investigation. Blakely sai<j
that when he read the reports connecting
bis name with the affair he went lo
Dougherty and received his promise that
h- would straighten everything out. As
the fireman failed to carry out his prom
ise Blakely became wroth and declared
he would not Fit idly by and see his nara-;
besmirched.
INTERVIEW DOUGHERTY.
On Saturday night he got some friends
together, called at the Bush-street flie
house and had an interview with Dough
ci ty. As a result of that Interview James
E. Bro^n, Joe Blakely, Nicholas C. Brcn
nan, Thomas Corbett and Frank Schmitz
are ready to give testimony that may
piove damaging to Dougherty. AH these
C^ntlemen are ready and willing to ap
pear before Mayor Schmitz and tell him
what they know of the affair. Frank
Kchmitz has already told hl« brother
vliat he knows of the matter, and this
has led the Mayor to decide to held

Is Head of the Largest Amer
ican Concern Operating in
Czar's Domain.
John Rosene, president of the North
western Commercial Company and man
aging director of the Northeastern Sibe
i rian Company, which have obtained Iro
the Russian Government a valuable coi
i cession on "the eastern coast of Siberia,
I arrived from the East yesterday and is
j at the Palace. Through the medium of
I Rosene the American company and Its
j Russian adjunct have secured the com-
I merclal rights to about 200,000 acre3 of
I mining and agricultural land situated on
! the Tchukotsk peninsula of Siberia, which
Jlies just opposite Seward peninsula on the
I Alaskan coast.
1-ast year the companies established
thiee trading and supply stations along
the Siberian coast and sent sixty Ameri
can and 120 Russian prospectors to their
properties for the purpose of beginning
mining development work, and this year
It is purposed to build additional sta
tions and reinforce the Americans by at
kast 300, and put to work as many Rus
sian laborers in the salmon fisheries- and
the gold and coal mines, which are to Le
extensively operated.
Behind Rosene In this gigantic project
are some of the highest officials in Rus
sia, among them Grand Duke Nicholas,
! uncle of the Czar; Prince DolgoroukI,
; general aid-de-camp to the Czar, and
' Colonel V. M. Wonlarlarski. The Ameri
can company has among its stockholders
men of prominence, such as Ferdinand
Peck of Chicago. John J. Waterbury of
the Manhattan Trust Company; W. F.
Yokum, president of the St. liouls and
San Francisco Railroad; Lyman J. Gage
and James Ramsey, president of the
Wabash road.
In February last the Czar of Russia
conferred on the companies the privilege
of selecting Rosene as general manager
of the Russian concern, which Is a spe
cial distinction in that it is the first lime
that an American has been permitted to
assume the duties of manager of a Rus
sian incorporated commercial concern.
The purpose of Rosene's visit to the
city is to purchase a steamer, of which
the company already has three, one hav
ing left Seattle last week for the Siberian
coast. In discussing the big enterprise
last night flosene said the intention of
the companies is to develop their conces
sion in the same manner that the lands
