MYSTERIOUS DEATH
OF KATIE KEENAN,.
Appears to Have Succumbed
to Excessive Hemor-
rhage.
SPECIAL POLICE ALERT.
Watching the Entrances to a

Lives.

THE BODY AT THE MORGUE.

Late last night DR.. Henry B. A. Kugeler
reported to the Coroner's office that there
was case at 20 Carolina street requirfn &
the attention of the Morgue officials. The
Coroner's deputies followed up the case
promptly, and at 1920 they had removed
from the Carohna-street house the body of
a young woman, who, from all indications,
had died from internal hemorrhage.
When the deadwagon arrived at the
number there was the usual gathering of
curious and sympathetic neighbors,
the dim light making the anxious faces
appear white and ghostly
About AS o'clock last nighJ Miss Katie
keenan, died at % Carolina street under
circumstances that, TO the officials, indi-
Gated demise from extraneous influence if
not operation.
Two or three bottles were found in the
room, but their contents have not yet
been definitely enough analysed to indi-
cate the presence of any drug used to stop
hemorrhage. The Coroner has them and
an inquest will be held.
Mrs. Mccarthy is the landlady at %
Carolina street. She SAID last night that
Miss Keenan,. who was friend of hers,
came to her house two days before and
complained of feeling sick. She took to
bed and never left it till put into the
Morgue wagon last night.
The circumstances and surface indica-
tions support the theory that Miss keenan,
died OF hemorrhage DIR. Kugeler was
called in at late hour last night, but too
late to save the life OF the young woman.
During the last few days Mrs. Balck-
we'll. an accoucheuse who resides at No.
60 Morris avenue, has been called to attend
Miss keenan,. Her story is that she
treated her for stomach trouble.
The police have taken hold of the case
with special officers. Last night they
guarded the entrances of Morris avenue
pending an investigation of the case. Ii
the investigation warrants Mrs. Blackwell
will be arrested to-day. II it does not the
police will be withdrawn.
Her husband was reported to have been
arrested at her instigation day before yes
terday for drunkenness, but search of
the records of the Southern police station,
on Folsom street, last night failed to re-
veal an arrest under that name.
Miss Keenan, was 26 years old. She was
tall and had a good figure. but her face
was not particularly attractive. She was
employed in box factory down toward
the city front.
There is young man who, it is said,
has been paying her particular attention
during recent months. He keeps a barber
shop on Sixth street.
The remains of Miss keenan, are now at
the Morgue and the Coroner will hold an
inquest.

A CHANGE OF PASTORS.
Reverend Father Conlan Retires
From the Parish of St.
Francis.
He Goes to Redwood City and Father
Caraher Of Miss on San Jose
Succeeds Him.

Father John G. Conlan, who has been
pastor of st. Francis parish, preached his
farewell sermon to his congregation yes
terday morning.
After dwelling on the gospel of the day
according to St. Luke, where Christ took
refuge in st. Peters fshing-boat at &C.
nesereth when pursued by the rabble, the
reverend father bid his congregation an
affectionate farewell. His leave taking
deeply affected those among whom he Ia
bored for the past four years, except when
compelled by i'll health to relinquish his
passionate temporarily into the care of his
Jealous assistants. He succeeded the late
Rev. John Harrington, having come to
this City from San Pablo, where for four
years he OBLIGATED, and at the same time
was pastor of the church at Pinole.
The Rev. Father Conlan was ordained a
priest in Italy eighteen years ago. After
his ordination he went to Ireland for
so me time, and then came to San Fran
cisco. The first church in which he
officiated upon his arrival here was st.
Francis, and it was with great deal of
pleasure that he took charge of the church
in which he first held service, but the
climate of this City was too severe for
him on account of an affection of the
lungs, and he made application for a
transfer to a warmer and more equable
climate. The opportunity presented itself
when Rev. Father Sullivan of the Red
wood City parish expressed a desire to
abandon his charge.
Arch bishop Riordan offered that parish
to Father Conan who accepted it and en-
tered upon his new duties to-day. He is

II WAS PETER c. KELLY
Identification of the ProSpector
Murdered in Tuolumne
County.
Samuel Guilford of This City Recog
nized the Man by the Picture
in The Call"

The authorities of Tuolume County are
still trying to identify the remains of the
unknown man they found buried in
Roasco Range the "Jawbone" country
on the 18th of this month.
The details of the find would indicate
that a murder had been com mitted and
only by accident was the affair brought to
light.
A number of stockmen left the environs
of Sonora to gather in their cattle, thieves
being very plentiful in that part of the
country. While conducting the ''rodeo, p"
or roundup" they came across a camp
recently inhabited. There was every indi-
cation that cattle thieves had been there
within week and the stockmen searched
the grounds for remains OF their calves
they believed to have been slaughtered.
They founo a freshly made grave, and
dug into it, expecting to find nothing
more than a heller, when they came
across a human hand The sight was too
and brought Deputy Sheriff Pierce back
with them from Sonora.
The exposed hand led TO the disinter-
ment of decomposed body having gun
shot wounds about the trunk and head.
The corpse could not be identified owing
to Its condition., out III was aScertdlneQ
circumstantially that the murdered man
must have been a prospector seen in the
neigh borhood of Sonora for month prior
to his death.
At some distance from the place of
burial Deputy Sheriff Pierce found frag-
ments of a photograph which, put to-
gether, made the likeness produced in
Saturdays issue of THE CALL.
This reproduction wa recognized yes
terday by Samuel Guilford of 555 Mission

PEDDLARS AS BURGLARS
Numbers of Houses Being Entered and
Robbed During the Day
time.

Reports of burglaries are coming in with
alarming frequency to police headquar-
tiers, and every effort is being made to cap
ture the miscreants. The burglaries are
not committed as rule during the inky
darkness that pervades the City after the
sun has gone down, but during the day
time, when family has gone to the Cliff
or the park for few hours enjoyment.
It is known that the burglars are two
men who go around under the guise of
peddlers, and by ringing the front bell of
house they ascertain whether the fam
lily is at home or not.
The best report received was from G. F.
Eberhardt, 832 Grove street His family
are in the country, and about noon Satur-
day Two men forced an entrance into the
house by using jimmy on the rear door.
Every room was raDsacked, but strange
to say none of the jewelry or other arti-
Giles were stolen, which has led to the be-
lief that the burglars are afraid 10 dispose
of the jewelry they have taken from other
houses for fear OF being caught and are after
the coin and nothing else, or may have been
scared away, as they were when ransack-
ing the house of Lyon Zacharias, 929 SUIT
ter street, last Thursday.
When Mr.. Eberhardt went home on
Saturday night he found everything in dis
order. A desk had been broken open in
the search for money, but although the
contents had been disturbed nothing was
missing.
A jimmy was found in the dining-room
which the burglars had overlooked in
their hurry to escape. They also left a
jimmy behind them at the residence OF
Mr.. Zacharias on Suffer street, and it
would appear as if they were plentifully
supplied with that article.
The police desire to warn all house
holders to be on their guard against ped
dlers, and those who intend to leave the
City for sojourn in the country should
notify the department of their inten ton,
so that the policeman on the beat can
keep his eye on the house.

THE ANCIENT ORDER.
Fourth OF July Celebration at Ell Campo
by the Hibernians.

1t is expected that the Fourth of July
celebration by the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians at Ell Campo will be successful.
1t is certain there will be very large at
tendance.
The committees are all hard at work,
and fine programme will be offered.
This programme will not alone attract
thousands of Irish people, but citizens
generally, for it will appeal to patriotic
citizens.
The literary exercises will be of quaint
character, and will consist OF an Grafton by
James III. Barry of the Star, reading OF the
Declaration of Independence by Z. ]. Nc
Cormack, and other numbers by talented
young men. The musical exercises will
also be excellent. Miss Katherine Blank
will sing the Star Spangled Banner" and
other ladies and gentlemen will take part.
1t is recognized that, beyond this part OF
the programme, the other features should
be such as to give pleasure and excitement
to the participants. However, every care
is being taken to present as fine pro-
gramme as was ever given to the people of
the community. The Gaelic sports and
modern games will be very complete, and
the prizes offered will be valuable.
The grounds will present the aspect of
an Irish fair.

New Orleans, in my judgment, has the
poorest police department. They pay
their patrolman $50 month, and they
work twelve hours. | found that where
the pay is small there was a poor police
force In all respects. AS to pay, San Fran
cisco compares favorably with any city.
In the East wages for patrolmen range
from 5000 to $1400 per year. Brooklyn
pays $l400 after five years service. In
New York captains of police get 5000,
Chicago $4,000, Boston $1,000, San Fran
cisco $500. San Francisco patrolmen are
paid 500 month. Some Eastern cities
furnish one uniform year to the men,"

nuai convention of the National Associa-
ton of the Chiefs of Police of the United
States and Canada, which opened at

city OF size not represented. at that con-

port to the Police Commissioners. He has
