Death Of a Famous Soprano.
New York World


Isabella McCulIoch, the soprano singer,
died in New York city Monday. She was
native OF South Carolina. Her father was
well-to-do Scotchman, but the war swept
away his fortune and left the family in very
straItened circumstances. The daughter
had a magnificent voice, and under the ad-
vice of local musicians paid particular at
tention to its cultivation. AT the Academy
+of Columbia, which she attended, her sing
ing was famous. 1t was in the winter OF
lS67-'6S that she made her DEBUT in New
York, singing with credit in "Un Ballo IN
Maschera." she had been pupil OF Tor
riani, and won success as singer from tne
first. As an actress, her Scotch dlrectness
OF address and bluntness OF manner were
blemishes IN her performances.
Miss MoCulloch's first tour OF this country
was made in company with Adelaide Phll-
Iips. She sang with La Grange In don
Giovanni and in "Le Prophetic" and at
different times was under engagement to
both Max and Maurice Strakosch. When
the opera of "Lurline" was brought out
for the first time she sustained the ttIe-rOIe,
and her friends declare that her singing OF
"Sweet Spirit, Hear my Prayer has never
been surpassed in sweetness. martina
was her favorte opera.
Some ten years ago she met BrlGholl, ana
after nearly two years OF most persistent
wooing on his part she married hlm and
left the stage. After six years OF married
life, part OF 1t spent in Europe, Brlgnoll
abandoned her, and her suit for divorce
about two years ago finally separated them.
For a number Oh years past she has sup
ported herself as Il church-snger, Tor
time In Grace church and later In ~.
stephens. Since the opening Of The Ca
ihedral she has been chief soprano in its
choir

Those EmissarieS.

F.C. LOyELAND and +. A. BURR were the
Radical emissaries from the North who were
relied upon by the high contracting parties
TO make such an alliance between the Ma
boneites and the Republicans as would Sc
cure the defeat of all the Democratic candl-
dates for Congress. Here is one OF their
documents:
From the Baltimore Americ al, 3d.
VOTERS DIsFRANCHIsED IN VIRGINIA.-The
following was received at the Republican
national headquarters to-day
"RICHMoND, VA, November 2, 1880.
d" 10 Hon. ". Je,oeN:
"Under preteuce of an Injunction issued
by a little corporation judge out OF Rich
mond, Judges Of election are throwing out
all tax-receipts signed by collectors APP
pointed by the Auditor. They have already
thrown out from 400 TO 600. Think we may
still pull through, unless this'infamy in-
lures us more than is expected. This IS
The last desperate attempt OF the Bourbons
to save themselves from an overwhelming
defeat. r. Z. LOVELAND,
"F. A. BURR"
That's rich. 1t shows how much Messrs
BURR and LOvELAND knew about the state
of parties and the feeling OF the voters In
this State. They have lost all reputation
They are neither diplomatists nor fit partie:
to be entrusted with the duty of making
political diagnosis. We would say, "Lel
BURR and LOvELAYD retire." but that We
take it for granted that they have departed
these coasts. Their libel upon Judge CLOP
TON will only cause smile of derision tc
wrinkle the face OF the Judge. They are
not worthy to unlooSe the latchets Of hi:
shoes.

A vilIainous conspiracy TO eXtort money,

foiled Tuesday night by the arrest OF the
principals-Percy Brown, Paul b. Wright,

writer stated that Mrs. Willard had
murdered her husband, and that he had the
bottle OF the poison which was used. He
would, however, surrender this for the sum
OF 5000, and would, in addition, make an
affidavit that the charge was untrue. III the
proposal was agreed to, personal was to be
inserted In the Star. Mrs. Willard imme-
dlately consulted with Messrs. Miller d Ri.
ley, attorneys, and the case was put in the
hands of Detectives McDevitt and Voss. A
personal was then published as follows:
"V.-I will pay you the amount request
ed. W."
prompt response was received by Mrs.
Willard, requesting her TO ride down In a
Ninth-street car at 4:30 O'Clock on the after
noon Of the Goth ultimo, and get out at the
fountain opposite Ford's Opera.House. By
some mschance the letter was not received
until the Both. Apparently angry at the
evident failure OF The plan, the writer again
wrote to Mrs. Willard threatening letter,
In which he stated that the Department OF
Justice were taking the matter In hand, but
that she still had time 10 save herself, II she
intended to do so. She Immediately in.
