THE CARLETON MURDER.
Strong Evidence Against the Alleged
Murderer.

BosToN, April 8.
Carliff, the colored man charged with the
murder of Mrs. Carleton, was arraigned this
afternoon. He was arrested upon testimony
given by John Clark, a mullatto with whom
Carlif boarded. Clark states that sometime
previous to the murder he promised him
$3.50 to chloroform some person, name not
known, by which Carleton would be able to
get possession of some money. On the night
of the murder Carlff came to Clark and said
he had got his money, and that in a snbse
quent conversation he acknowledged having
committed the deed, and described his trip to
Watertown. Carleton, he said, had hired a
team and drove out to meet him, going to
the house about dark. Carliff tied the end
of a ball of Irvine to his wrist and went to the
door, Carleton remaining on the opposite
side of the street with the other end of the
string to signal him if anyone approached
The murder was accomplished the string
rolled up and they came to Boston 1t is
not known as this testimony can be relied
upon as it has been previously shown that
Carleton was in Boston at the time of the
murder. The parties are looked upon as I'M
reliable and bearing bad reputation.
The police state that they have secured
evidence corroboratilg some points in the
testimony of the principal witness, Clarke.
They are able to show, they say, that Carlih
had numerous whispered conversations with
Carleton in Casey's saloon within three
weeks previous to the murder, and that Carliff
was in close conversation with Carlton short
ly after 6 o'clock on the afternoon of the
murder, and that Carlitf thereupon went out.
There is unquestonable evidence which is in
possession of the officers who have been from
the start at work on the case, showing the
murder was committed within two minutes of
1923 T. NJ, and Carlton has perfect alibi
between and 7.30, when he is known to
have been in Boston. Some evidence proves
the story about the string signal to be false.
There is grave reason to believe that incen-
tive of the large reward may prove serious
obstacle to probing the mystery. Some five
months ago an old man named Whittemore,
who carried money in the Hayward Place,
was murdered and robbed. He was struck
on the head With brick or stone and never
spoke after the assault. Carlih was strongly
suspected then as being the perpetrator and
was employed in the gambling house. Since
his arrest on suspicion of being connected
with the Carleton murder the police are in
clined moer than ever to believe he killed Whit
temore. This assault in point of detail was
somewhat similar to the one at Waterfowl.
The police state tonight that Clark's confess
ion is very flemsy and that the belief in
conspi racy to obtain the reward momentarily
is strengthing.

SENSATION IN LAWRENCE.
The Railroad Men Proceed 10 Tear up
the Street.-The Boston n Maine
Likely to Suffer.
LAWRENCE. Mass, April 9.

LAWRENCE. Mass, April b.
Considerable excitement was occasloned
here thi. morning, by the appearance OF a
$50 emplo ,ees on the Boston 4 Lowell Kali
road, who at once began tearing up tanai
street, and laying ties and track thereon.
The coming was unexpected and Mayor
Breen was at once notified, but after con-
sulting the city solicitor he found he couldn't
interfere with the operations of the railroads,
as the street is the property of Essex county,
and although used as a public thorou glare
over twenty wears has not been accepted oy
the city. The railroad men are very retlcent,
but it is understood the track will be LAID 10
Union street. and connected with the horse
railroad tracks thus aiforjing uninterrupted
passage for Boston & Lowell freight to all
mill corporations in the city.
: This ii is understood will operate to the
detriment of the Boston & Maine road which
has weekly large consignment to the mills
and control of the track running along IN
front of the mills, but not on the street
The mayor and board of aldermen met in the
afternoon to discuss the situation. Ii Is I'M
derstoon the supreme court Will be appealed
to for an injunction to restrain the Boston 4
Lowell from further paogress In this dlrec-
ton. Prominent citizens connected with
both railroad stated that had not the Boston
& Lowell railroad commenced operations
during the night the Boston 4 Maine intend
ed to Law special track drought the street
today
A special meeting of aldermen was held
this afternoon, to consider the sudden invas-
ion of Canal street by the Boston 4 Lowell
Railroad. sThe counsel for the railroad stated
that it was the intention of the road to eX-
tend its freight facilities here. and had the
permission of the abutters on the street
the Pacific, Atlantic, Washington and Penn
berton corporations-to use the street as a
railroad thoroughfare. As the street is not a
public way, the aldermen did not oppose the
operations of the road. new track is now
laid to the storehouse on Canal street, and
will be extended to Union street before the
close OF the week.

The New Postmaster General.

The yew Postmaster General.
The appointment of General Walter !.
Gresham of Indiana. to be Postmaster
General, is generally well spoken of. His
record in civil life is good; as military
officer he acquired quite brilliant repu-
tation. He is an active. wide awake man.
Of fine appearance, respected wherever he
is known, with training in pubic affairs
that will be of good service to him in his
new position. In politics he has been of
the stalwart stripe, but is not offensive to
leading republicans of the other stripe
Senator Harrison of Indiana was con-
suited by the President, and through his
agency the nomination was effected. MIR.
New OF Indiana is disappointed, as he de-
sired Frank Hatton to receive the place,
leaving chance Tor himself as cabinet
officer from Indiana to succeed Secretary
Fogler should the latter resign as Secre-
tary Of the Treasury. OF course Indiana
can have but one cabinet office and Gener-
al Gresham's appointment bars out Mr..
New. The Boston Advertiser says of the APP
pointment: Judge Gresham has been
out Of politics so long that his name has
not been publicly mentioned in connection
with any national office. He is known as
a very capable lawyer and judge pos
sessed Of sound learning, and has been
free from Objectionable connection with
any factional politics. He will add
strength to the cabinet" The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Times
says: 1T may be stated on the best au-
thority that Judge Gresham was the Sc
lection of the President. 1t is his own
appointment. but is approved not only by
every member OF the Cabinet, but by
everybody who has been heard to speak
Of it this afternoon and evening"
The Tribune edtorially says; ''Presi
dent Arthur was wise to 90 to Indiana for
a Cabinet officer, and wise in the choice
he made among Indiana men. General
Gresham has never been offensive as a
partisan politician; nor is he, like some
that have previously been named for this
Cabinet, already politically dead and
buried. A great friend of General Grant,
he was nevertheless never a stalwart in
the New York sense. He was thought OF
by President Garfield as member OF his
Cabinet. 1t was through no demerit of
his own that he was not then assigned to a
portfolio, but because certain Influences
in his own State being against him. the
late President decided that some other
choice would avoid all difficulty. This is
one of two or three good Cabinet nomina-
tons Mr.. Arthur has made. 1t comes late
but backward spring sometimes brings

The witness knew of no trouble between

sion arrived at was that it would be impossi-

: Witness did not believe proper search
for belongs party could have been made
any sooner than it was Collins requested
the witness during the retreat to take care OF
his papers in case he should die. Witness
was present when Collins body was found.
The articles taken from the body were a
small note book, few packages of written
meter. which he carried in his pocket,
number of beads. few nails, some cart
1
handkerchiefs.
The written matter was not letters. 1t
appeared to be open written matter like notes.
There were not over eight or ten sheets, per-
haps less.
The witness was asked: sHow does your
account of what was found Collins COM
pare with Melville's report to the depart
ment:'
Answer have never seen the Melville
statement and do not knew.
The witness relations with Melville while
| in Siberia, were generally friendly. In the
witness opinion. everything was done that
could be done to rescue belongs party.
They could not have been saved had Danen-
hover been permitted to go on his search at
the time he proposed it. Witness did not
know that any papers or articles belonging
to Collins were destroyed or concealed by
any person. This concludes the examination
of Bartlett, and the court adjourned till to-
morrow.

A SUIT AGAINST PATTI.
Claim for Music Lessons Given the Diva
when She Was a Child.

A hearing was begun in New York recent
ly before Referee Hoesen in the case of
Nine. Sophie NJ. Mauzocchi against Adelina
Patti. When Patti was girl of 10, living
IN New York, she took music lessons of Sig
Moiuans Mauzocchi, then a teacher of repute
and friend of PATHS father. These lessons
continued up to 1860. In 1869 both the
teacher and PATHS father died and Patti saws
she had no knowledge of any rupture of the
friendly relations between them or of the ex-
istence of any money due Mauzoccii from
her father. But now, after an absence O
twenty years. Patti returns famous and is
sued by the widow of her old teacher, who
claims $4,000, with interest for
about twenty-five years. for the four years
music lessons given by Signor Mauzocchi
The defense set up against the claim is
that Patti was a minor at the time the lessons
were given and had no knowledge of the
financial conditions connected with them,
neither did she herself ever contract for the
lessons. The suit has not been hurried. but
now Patti asks that it be brought to trial,
hence the hearing that has begun. The fig
ures make Patti about 40 years old now.

PENNINGTON April 8.
The inspectorv committee of the Farming
ton Normal school, consisting of Supt. Luce,
and Messrs Plummer of Kenduskeag and
Merrill of Pennington, met here last night,
Mr.. Locke being absent. The principal OF
the Normal school, and his counsel, Hon. L.
W. vose of Bangor, and all the assistants OF
the school came before the committee.
Supt Luce stated that the inspectory COM
mittee had been instructed to make some ar
rangements or compromise to enable the
school to continue through the term under its
present management.
Mr. Rounds said that charges had been
made against him which ought to be imme-
diateIy investigated. If they were true, he
said he (Mr Rounds) should not remain a
moment longer in charge of the school II
they were untrue (as he claimed they were)
then be asked that the school should be re-
lieved from an unjust odium.
The committee, in reply, said that they
tigate and that their sole mission was to ar
range for the completion of the present term,
so that the school might 60 on while the
charges were being investigated.
After further conference it was agreed by
Mr.. Ronnds, the three teachers and the COM
mittee that the school should continue under
the present management through the present
term-all cooperating tremendously. Thus
the matter stands.

kind word to Collins. and on the retreat he
was treated by men and officers with the same
consideration as shown to the other officers
Witness did not hear Collins say he was pre-
vented from saving his papers when the Jean
nette was abandoned. Collins subsequently
spoke to the witness in regard to his treat
ment and what he proposed to do upon his
return. He spoke Of some papers which he
had on his person at the time, and made
request of the witness relative TO them.
When the whale boat reached land there
was discussion as to the probable condition
and fate Of the ether parties. To the best of
the witness memory, for sixteen DAYS ii was
impossible to travel from where his party
landed. At the end of that time. Melville
made arrangements for the transportation of
