2 THE SAN FFPANCISCO CALL, TUEfDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1902. COLONEL DICKEY RECENES THIRTY Death Suddenly Visits a Noted Telegraph Official. Manager of Western Union for the Middle West Passes Away. OMAHA, Nebr., Dee. 20.—Colonel John J. Dickey, superintendent of the fifth dis- trict of the central division of the We: ern Union Telegraph Company, and one of the oldest officials in the service of that corporation, died at his home in this city to-night of pneumonia. He had been ill but & few days, having been at his office in good heaith on Christmas day. On that day Mr. Dickey went to his home suffer- ing from the grip, which developed into ' pleuro-pnoumeonia. His condition became critical early to- day and during the afternoon, after a consultation, his physiclans announced that he could live but a few hours. They resorted to every means known to medi- cal science to prolong his life, but he lost consciousness at an early hour in ‘the af- ternoon and never rallied. His children were summoned to his bedside this even- ing, but ni was able to report at the Dickey home before death occurred. Colonel Dickey was born in Rushville, HL, April 11, 1839, and was a son of Judge Dickey, one of the most prominent jurists of Illinois at that time. He leaves 1wo sons and a daughter, Wyle Dickey of To- peka, A. M. Dickey of Joplin, Mc., and Mrs. Pike of Portland, Maine. In 1 J.

Indeed, the breakdown at on was not the first trouble experi- enced by the Owl train’s engineer on that fatal trip of December 20, though he is reluctant in acknowledging. it on the wit- nes: nd. Another important- point is the mooted question of the signals. The officlals say that even if the flagman did fail to get out with his lantern in time the lights on the rear end of the Owl should have been warning enough for McGuire. He should pairing, on fuel. It tal have seen them and slowed down. There i= another side to this argument, how- ever When the Owl came to a standstill the rear car was e to the switch which connects a side track with the main line. The rules of the company provide that this peint should be marked at night by two switch lights. Engineer McGuire nat- urally expected to see those lights at that point as he had no doubt seen them many times before. According to the com- pany’s regulations a red light displayed on a switch stand means a sidetrack, while a green light signifies the main line. A green light is-also shown on the rear of an extra and a red one on the Pear of a regular. LIGHTS ARE CONFUSING. These switch lights are very nearly of the same height as those on the rear end th of a train difference being less than cighteen in: S, They also hang close to and near above the track, while the train lights are placed on either side of the rear platform in practically the same position as the switch lights. On a dark night it is often impossible to see a train unill one is almost on top of it, and to | distinguish a rear light on a train from & switch light at a distance is extremely difficult, even for 2 man with perfect eye- sight. cGuire, it is but fair to state in this connection, has worn eye- glasses for many y In addition to all this, tne wreck on the night of 2 strong wind was blowing ADVERTISEMENTS.

The crowd at the railroad sta- tion was comparatively small, but a large force of police and soldiers, mounted and | on foot, was drawn up in front of the station and guarded all the street ap- | proaches in order to prevent the possi- Lility of a pepular demonstration. A number of the chief functionaries of the | prefecture were on hand to personally su- perinterd the prisoners’ arrival. The men | and women of the Humbert party were kept separate during the trip from Mad- rid to Paris and they were brought from the train in two separate parties. The | women came first, leaning on the arms of officers. Mme. Humbert was dressed in black and was veiled, but was readily recognized by | her stout figure. Her young daughter, | Eva, was the most pathetic looking of the | women. Mme. Humbert was followed by | ster, Marie, who did not show the | xhibited at Madrid, but w: appeared disconsolate.

H Southern Pacific Company. | OAKLAND, Dec. 29.—In reply to ques- | tions regarding the condition of the en- gines of the Southern Pacific Company | {and the measures that are followed to | | keep them in order, Division Superintend- ent W. A. Palmer said at his home to- night: An engint never leaves the rallroad shops | that has not been thoroughly inspected and | repaired. When the engine arrives at the | roundhouse after a run it is subjected to a | | very searchinz examination. In the first place the engineer widies out a card calling the at- | | tention of the master mechanic to ‘any de- fect that he wight have noticed during his | run. Then tbe foremen of the different de- | io/ing charge of the Tepair of cer- )#rts of the engine inspect those e their report. Finally every- | | body who fias anything to do with an engine | {at all is exvected and required to report any | | defect tgit comes to his notice. After ail these reports have been submitted the work- } men rey.ir the defects so that when an engine leaves “he roundhouse it is in the very best conditgnn The average run of an engine a month is | 8600 “miles, not from 9000 to 12,000, as has | beea reported. In the course of its month's { Work an engine may make 4000 or 5000 miles, | i bat never more than that unless for some | spacial reason. In the case of the engine on the Owl train hat by down just before the Byron wreck, the record shows that It couldn’t have been in | a very bad condition, for at Port Costa it was ten minutes behind its schedule and at Byron it was only five minutes behind, showing that it had made up five minutes. The engine was in good condition before it left the shops, but its boiler began to leak at Port Costa, which ie an aitogether likely thing to happen to any engine. We always use special engines for the Owl train; but the regular engine that was to have taken out the train on the night of the wreck was engaged elsewhere and we substituted another. It was jJust as good, though a little lighter, and we usc them every day to pull bigger trains up steever grades than the Owl train or the grades that it has to climb, The amount of Tepair an engine needs de- pends on the amount and kind of its use. An engine in Arizona will need to be thoroughly overhauled in, a year, while one in Northern California will last from five to ten years. In the meantime, of course, these engines will need to be repaired in many of their minor parts. It is our prac- tice to fully overhaul an engine whenever its condition shows that it is necessary. The men employed in the repair of the engines are all experts in the various branches i of their work. They are well paid and give us their best work. - W.

MISSING WITNESS IS FOUND. Coroner Curry Says He Has Located Charles Harris. MARTINEZ, Dec. 2.—Coroner Curry says that he has located Charles Harris, the tramp who was riding on the brake- beam of the last coach of the Owl train that was wrecked near Byron station on the night of December 20 by the Stockton fiyer. The Coroner says that Harris will be present to give his testimony when the inquest is resumed next Friday.

He began to call me names. Cassidy, the 18-year-old son of prisoner«o hold until his case is called in When I went in the bullding I thought I Patrick Cassidy, one of the best known residents of Marin County, has confessed that he started the fire that destroyed $15,000 worth of prop- erty in this city Sunday night. Cassldy admitted his guilt to Sheriff Taylor late this afternoon, and for a time excitement ran high. There is no proof that Cassidy is re- sponsible for the other incendiary fires that have from time to time thrown the residents of San Rafael into a frenzied state. Within the past year there have been thirty fires, all of incendiary origin, and if it should develop that Cassidy is the long-searched-for firebug it is not ! improbable that his jailers will experience considerable trouble in keeping him out of the hands of the outraged citizens. Cassidy denies all knowledge of the other fires, and there are some who believe that he is telling the truth. He claims that he started the fire Sunday evening while in a revengeful mood because E. 8. Lansdowne had accused him of breaking into his store. SUSPICION AROUSED. Suspicion was directed against Cassidy late Sunday night, but he was not ar- rested, as the evidence then at hand did not warrant his detention. He was al- lowed to return to his parents’ home, where he was kept under surveillance, as it was feared he might attempt to get away, knowing as he did that Peter Wil- | lams, one of the heaviest losers by the fire, had announced his intention of swearing to a complaint charging him with arson. The authorities held a consultation late Sunday night and declded to call the case to the attention of the Grand Jury. That body commenced an investigation yester- day morning but made little headway. Several citizens testified to having seen Cassidy in the neighborhood of the burn- ed building a few minutes before the fire was discovered, and there the evidence ended. Cassidy was called before the jury and although subjected to a rigorous examina- tion he answered all questions without any show of reluctance and firmly denied all knowledge of the fire. The news that he had subsequently confessed to Sheriff Taylor came as a great surprise to those who had been closely following the case. There was some talk of meting out sum- mary justice to the youthful prisoner, but cooler counsel prevailed. S8hould it be es- tablished that Cassidy is responsible for the other fires, there is no doubt that @ i iy ek e e @ service.

These cars are to be furnished with a complete set of surgical instruments, op- crating table, stretchers and everything needful to render first aid to the injured. The medical department of the Southern Pecific claims that a large amount of fime can be saved by ‘having ambulance care ready In case of a serious accident, and it can in this way give bétter care to the wounded. One of the leading features of these cars will be the ngement for lifting injured people into the ears without any unnecessary jolting.

CASSIDY CONFESSES. Cassidy has never before been in any kind of trouble and he was looked upon as a model youth, He was taken into cus- tody early yesterday morning and driven in a hack through the back streets of Sau Rafael to the jail, where he was held pending the convening of the Grand Jury. The grand jurors spent two hours ques- tioning Cassidy and then turned him over to District Attorney MclIsaac. Mclsaac tried to gain some information about the case, but to no avail. Detectives and other officers were then called in and they in turn subjected Cassidy to close examination. They, too, failed. Sheriff Taylor next tried his power and to this officer alone is due the credit of Cassidy’s acknowledgment of his guilt. Taylor was with the prisoner alone and wifhin a half hour had a full confession. Cassidy agreed to write out the confes- slon himself. Sheriff Taylor thereupon re- ported this fact to the grand jurors and they promptly found an indlctment against Cassidy for arson, Cassidy was then formally charged and placed in jail, where he finished writing his confession. To Taylor he told the following story of his crime, and subsequently wrote it out and signed it: I started the fire last night to get even with old Lansdowne, who has always had it in for me. I did not want tc burn out Mr. Williams and thought that where I started the fire ft would be discovered and put out before it dam- aged his portion of the building. I had noth- ing against Willlams, but I was mad at Lans- downe long before yesterday, and when he met me at the door and cursed me I felt all the more like getting even with him. 1 played football all afterncon Sunday at the Recreation Park, and when the was over 1 started home. Remembering that my rifle ‘was in Willlams’ place, I thought I would get it and take it home with me. When I went to the store it was shortly before 5 o'clock. ANGRY, AT LANSDOWNE. I 4id not have the slightest intention of set- ting any fire. My father had been burned out by the firebug some time before, and I have tried to find out who was starting the fires in fan Rafael. 1 knew that George Williams watched for firebugs at his father's store and uessed he or some one would be there about o'clock. This {s th2 reason I went there to get my gun. I had to go in the back way, of course, for that was where they watched. When I got there the back door was closed, but not locked. I pushed it open and went in by way of Lansdowne's workshop. After getting my rifle I started to go out. At the door I met 3 jured had to be passed out through the car windows when the Oakland mole was reached. One of the physicians of the Southern Pacific, in discussing the ambulance car service yesterday, said that he hoped that the system would be in working order in a few months, He stated that the gen- eral officers of the company looked favor- ably upon the plan. SR L GREAT SHORTAGE OF CARS. Southern Pacific Experiences Diffi- culty in Handling Its ‘Business. OAKLAND; Dec. 20.—The Southern Pa- cific Company has to deal with the great- est car and locomotive shortage that has -ever been known in its history, taking the amount of business and facllities for handling it Into consideration. And the worst phase of the case is that as the days go by the shortage will increase in- stead of diminish. So bad has the situation become that one of the Williamscs feeding their horse, ana as the back store door was mot locked I thought they would hear me go in. I left the deor open and when I came out and was ac- cused by old Lansdowne of breaking it open I was mad. I became possessed of a sudden de- sire to get even with him, but could not think how to do it. When he ordered me out of the | buck yerd I started to go. Turning around, I | saw him enter the workshop and a sudden no- | tion struck me. I toock a match from my pocket, lighted it and as I passed by the hair | room, an adjoining building. where there is lots | of excelsior and such stuff kept, I shoved it | between the cracks of two boards, dropped it | and left the premises. | I did not know whether it would burn or | not, and at the time I did not care. I thought | it it did burn that old man Lansdowne would see the blaze or smoke and put it out before the main building caught fire. ‘ | | heard some one in the barn. I supposed it was | | | WATCHED THE FIRE BURN. I started home, but did not get there before the fire bell sounded.

Last night and to-day | 1 could not tell that I had done it, but when Bheriff Taylor got me alone and was so nice in asking me questions and was not severe, it sorter struck a tender spot In my heart and I had to cry. He then seemed sorry be- | cause he hurt my feelings, so I.thought the | best thing to do was to tell the whole busi- | ness, and I have. I wrote it out myself. I' cannot tell you any more because I don't know any more to tell. I did not set any other | fires, but I did watch father's place many | times. Officer Agnew, who lives near us, wiil | tell you he found me as late as 10 o'clock at | night watching father's barn with a double- barrel_shotgun. for my father and mother and for the famiy | name. I tried to hold out when so many men questioned me, but I had to tell the truth after all, It is best to do it. San Rafael has had thirty fires attrib- uted to incendlaries, all within a year, en- tailing a loss of more than $50,000 worth | of property. In September last Antone | Morris and Eugene Case, aged 9 and 11| years respectively, confessed to having set fire‘to nine barns, while Maggie Mor- ris, a sister of Tony, was taken into cus- tody for alleged compliéity in the crimes. All three were subsequently released on habeas corpus proceedings. The charges were not pressed, as the two boys left Marin County for good. After Morris and Case confessed the fires became more frequent and the attempts at fle.stl'uctlrml more brazen. Only for the fact that San Rafael's fire department, which is a vol- unteer one, has done much excellent work in saving the adjoining buildings and ex- tinguishing fires the town's loss would {each nearly one hundred thousand dol- ars. v With Cassidy’'s incarceration t of last night's fire is explained. h;‘hoeflglox: lice officers here claim that the young ar- sonist knows more than he has yet di- vulged. a8 a result every car painter employed at | the West Oakland yards with the excep- | tion of four have been forced to take a | lay-off, as the cars are kept In active | service and are not sent to the yards for painting.or repairs.

Grand Trunk Collision Is Due to Defective Orders and Neglect. WYOMING, Ont., Dec. 20.—When the principal witness in the inquest to-day to place the responsibility of the awful wreck on the Grand Trunk at Wanstead had given testimony a chain of mishaps was unfolded. The principal witness was J. G. Kerr, the London dispatcher, who up to this time has been silent. He said: “No. 5 arrived at London one hour late. 1 ordered her to Watford for further or- ders. I knew the freight was coming. To Carson at Watford I wired to have No. 5 wait at Wanstead. I added ‘Wait a minute, may bust it.” This was in the telegraphic code. I then started to send a regular order to Carson at Watford to have No. 5 watch for the Wanstead siding and to have him sign and get Con- ductor McAuliffe’s signature. He told me No. 5 had gone. I then wired Wyoming to stop the freight, but he also replied that it had gone. I then tried Kingscourt and Carson said No. 5 had just gone b I told the chief dispatcher that I wa: afraid No. 5 would meet with trouble. Then came the news of the wreck at ‘Wanstead and a request from Assistant Superintendent Costello to serd an aux- iliary. I said: ‘I may bust,’ but did not and continued with a regular order to have No. 5 watch for the freight train at Wanstead.” William Carson, the Watford operator, said: “I received a message to have No. 5 watch for the freight at Wanstead, but Kerr said ‘Wait a minute,’ and then ‘Bust,” which meant to destroy the order. In the meantime No. 5 came in and the conductor asked for orders, as I had dis- played my stop signal, the semaphore He said: ‘What orders have you? I re- plied ‘I had orders, but they have been busted.” He then asked for a clearance, which I gave him. He added, ‘The boss is on,’ meaning Assistant Superintendent Costello. I gave him clearance orders. Then Kerr called for a signature to his order, but I said it had been busted. He said no. I told him No. § had gone. I heard him calling Kingscourt to stop No. 5. I opened a commercial wire and tried to get Kingscourt, but could not. I heard Kingscourt say later that No. § had passed.” Superb!
