Pasadena, March S.-The benefit per-
Torrance of the O era Pirates of Penzance
by the Pasadena Opera Club, at the
opera house, this evening, was decided
success. The entertainment was given
under the auspices OF the G. A. r., for
the benefit OF the Nebraska sufferers, and
melted handsome sum for the relief of
these famine stricken people. No charge
was made by the club for it's services, and
Professor Lowe also donated the use of
the opera house. The audience which
gathered this evening was a splendid one
in point of numbers. The performance
was if anything, better than upon the
first presentation of the opera by the
club early in the season, and reflected
much credit upon the members and the
director, Professor W. G. Kyle. The cast
was nearly the same as at the former pre-
sentation of the opera. The music this
ceptionally good. The cast was as fol-

Local Insurance Men After the Companies for

Local Insurance Men After the Companies for
Lower Rates
Pasadena, March 8.-Pasadena has long
been paying higher rate of insurance
than the losses by fire would justify. The
matter has frequently been discussed, but
until now no action has been taken look
ing towards reduction. The Local
Board of Fire Underwriters, which was
recently organized, has determined to eff

circulars to the general agents of the in

After stating that the agents have
formed an association and giving its pur-

The practice OF taking Pasadena business
by San Francisco general agents direct

practice" continues the letter, 'and be-

We also request our general agents to

THE SAN BERNARDINO CRIME
Murderer John KeIIett Belonged to a
Bad Stock
His Father Had Been Convicted Of Crime and
His Sister Was a Bad
Woman

San Bernardino, March s.-John W.
Kellett or Abbott, who shot himself in a
brothel in this city last night after firing
the notorious John Abbot, another man,
whose career in the sporting world has
caused him to be frequently mistaken for
the other.
The name OF Nette Jones given by the
woman who was shot is also an assumed
one, her real name being Eva McCletton,
of 1O06 Alhambra avenue, Los Angeles.
She continues to improve, and there is
but little doubt of her recovering from the
effects of the wounds which her frenzied
lover inflicted.
There is touch OF romance connected
with the family name of the man who
thus ended his life in house Of ill-repute
and OF the sister who was an inmate OF
the same house in which he died, and
who was first at his side after he had
fired the fatal shot. t~
Their fathers name was Kellett, and
years ago he wa, connected with the
United States army. For some crime
or malfeasance he was sent to the peni-
Tertiary, and after serving his time, was
discharged. But the name of Kellett hav-
ing been disgraced, when he began life
anew he assumed the name of Abbott,
and was afterwards known as Abbott.
All this was years ago, and his chill
dren, two sons and two daughters, never
knew of the chapter in his life until he
died short time go in the Soldiers
Home, and then by means Of his pen
sion papers, they learned that his name
was not Abbott but Kellett. His widow,
the mother of this suicide and his sister,
is still living in Los Angeles. as Is also
another sister. But of them Minnie Alb
bolt refuses to talk, and it is surmised
that they are respectable people in Los
Angeles, from whose home the erring Sis
ter has broken away entirely.
AS to the causes of the tragedy, but lit
tie more can be ascertained than was con-
tanned in The Herald's dispatches last
night. Abbott had been here last week,
returning to Los Angsles, and then came
back to this city last Tuesday. How many
interviews he had with the woman he
tried to murder is not known, but it is
supposed ehe was the caller who talked
with her on the porch at Rose cottage
Tuesday night They were not seen to-
gether again until yesterday. when he
came to the house about noon, and was
locked in room with her until his sister
forced the door, and found him bleeding
and dying.
The sister is know as Minnie Smith,
and it is said that she take the name from
the brother of a pugilist.
Coroner Heating has not yet returned,
and the inquest will not be held until
some time tonight.
