this country under an engagement to sing
leading baritone roles with the Kellogg
English Opera company and remained
with that combination five years
Their repertory was quite extensive, in
Guiding 1.-The Talisman, - Aida, - So Mi
gon, - 90 Marriage of Figaro, - = Don Clio
vanni - Ernani - g Trovatore, = Lucia,
Faust and many other standard operas.
The part of the original Flying Dutch
man was created by him at the Academy
of Music, in New York, in 1875. He also
originated the roles Of AmonasrO in
aida" the Toreador in Carmen,
Coeur de Lion in ''The Talisman" and
Peter in The Star of the North when
these operas were first produced on the
English stage. The Kellogg company s
performances drew so well that the less
successful attractions kept out of the way.
After finishing his engagement with
the Kellogg company MIR. Carleton went
to London to sing at Her Majesty's the
alter in Italian and English under the man
agement of Colonel Napleson- After that
he returned to America under engagement
to sing in English and italian opera under
the management Of Max Strakosch. Marie
Roze, TOrriani and other well known art
lists were members of the same company.
During that engagement StrakCsch pro-
duced Boito s 81 b1epfistophele' for the first

presarios. There never were finer operaUic
productions in this country than those
given under the StrakOsch regime at the
Academy of Music from 1873 to 1875. The
productions of 'Lohengrin, - Aida and
other operas were simply magnificent, the
company comprising the very finest singers
Of the day, such as Christine Nilsson, Maui
rel, Canpanini, CapOul and Others-au in
their prime.
In speaking of his abandonment Of
grand opera in favor of comic opera, Mr..
Carleton said recently
I became associated with comic opera
because L foresaw the turn of the musical
tide IN the public taste. Grand opera was
giving way to a demand for light opera.
The Pinafore'' fever started the ball roll

possible chance The odds against it were
too heavy. So, after finishing an engage

1t is Followed by an Attempted Sui
eide, Jealousy Being the Cause.
CLINTON, Ill, April Sat 4:30 this
afternoon this city was thrown into
the widest excitement by a double
murder and attempted suicide. Ed
Pollen, formerly employed at the shops
of the Illinois Central railroad, muir
dered his wife, formerly Miss Myrtle
Green and his mother-in-laW, Mrs. NC
Mullen, and then attempted suicide
by throwing himself in front OF an
eastbound freight train. Jealousy is
given as his reason for committing the
horrible deed. Pollen left here short
time ago for Creston, Iowa, and had
just returned with the intention of get
ting his wife to return there Today
he went to his mother-inlaw's to talk
the matter over with his wife. Family
quarrels were frequent and this inter-
view resulted in a quarrel. and Mrs.
McMullen interfering. Pollen, in his
rage, grabbed a double 5arreled shot
gun, when both women fled and got
into neighbor S yard Pollen emptied
one barrel of the gun at his wife, strik-
ing her just behind the right ear. Kill
ling her instantly AS Mrs. Pollen fell
forward on her face. Mrs. McMullen
looked around just in time to receive
the full charge of the second barrel in
her face Both women were found
lying just as they fell Pollen cody
walked a few steps, stopped, reloaded
his gun, and ran east to the railroad.
A freight train was pulling in. The
officers and citizens were SO close be-
hind him he dropped his gun and
threw himself in frort of the engine
The pilot struck him on the head. in
fiicting injuries which are pronounced
fatal. He was then lodged in Jail. To-
night great crowd OF excited cittzen5
assembled in front of the Jail. but
Mayor McGill addressed them and said
Pollen would die of his injuries and the
crowd finally dispersed. 1t is rumored
late tonight that Pollen was taken to
Decatur for safe keeping. The jail
is heavily guarded and no reporters are
allowed near it.

Corroborative Testimony.

CHICAGO. April IA special to the Tri-
pune from Key West. Fla, says:
Jose Ramon Del Vale, a Spaniard who
has been alcalde of Jovellanos, Matanzas
province. has resigned. and is here with
his family on the way to Mexico. He
says it was impossible to longer endure
the outrages committed by the Spanish
troops. Senior Del Vale is a man of
culture and intelligence, and has no lean
ing towards the insurgents. He saws:
1.-The Spanish troops are killing innocent
people right and left. The people of Ha-
vana have no idea what atrocities are
being committed The troops pillage
stores, residences and estates and un-
armed men, Unquestionably they are more
to be feared than the insurgents. There
is no safety for life or property outside
OF the cities and large towns
While Nicunius column was at Jov-
anillos three days ago. they met three
men on the outskirts coming toward the
town on the main highway The men
were unarmed. They were halted and

CANDIDATES CHANCES.
An Interesting Theme With Chaun-
cey Depeyv.

SAN FRANCISCO, April Sin discus
sing the chances of the candidates for the
Republican presidential nomination,
Chauncey NJ. Depew, who arrived in this
city last night in company with Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt, said:
There are only four men whose chances
at St. Louis We're worth speaking about
Mckinley stands easily in the lead, with
Reed Allison and Morton ranging in the
order named. Morton stands perhaps an
even chance with Allison, as he starts
in with seventy-two delegates from New
York. We of New York, mindful of the
past, think Morton stands very good
show. Presidents as a rule are not made
out of early favorites. These are all good
men and the country can be safely trusted
to any of them. Mckinley will go to the
convention with clear lead. The only
way he can be defeated is by the field
combining against him. The field will
combine and this becomes the strong
force. The question then arises as to
the name of the man upon whom it can
be brought to unite. New York is a piv-
otal state. Morton has created no strong
animosities. For these reasons we believe
he will be considered the most available
man.
NO. do not think Harrison will figure.
I do not think he wants it. He has said
SO so positively that there can be no
doubt.
Il am for Morton, to be sure. 1t is
very likely that l shall nominate him at
St Louis, unless some other son of New
York shall think that he can do it better"

Letter Box Robber.

NEW YORK, April 3.-George John
son, alleged to be one of the letter-box
robbers who operated in most of the
large cities of the United States. is a
prisoner here with a bullet wound in
his wrist Last night the officers dis
covered three men trying to force an
entrance to a house on East Eighty
fourth street. The men ran The DO
lice fired at the fugitives, one of whom
was hit. This man and one of his com
panions were caught; the third es-
caped The wounded man was identified
as Johnson, against whom are pending
numerous complaints.
Johnson is AZ years old and has
served several terms of imprisonment
for highway robbery and swindling
In 1894 he joined Billy Hamilton.
Charles Fisher and Steve Boyle in an
expedition to England, purposing
wholesale swindle of banks there
The plan had been formed by Fisher
and Hamilton, but they failed in one
of their first ventures. Hamilton pre-
sented a forged order for a check book
for Adams, Gilfillan &, Co. at the Bank
of Scotland in London. A clerk of
that firm happened to be in the bank
at the time and Hamilton was arrested
and sentenced to three years imprison-
ment. AS Hamilton was the scratch
err or penman, his loss broke up the
combination and the others returned
to America. Hamilton was pardoned
very soon as consumptive and got
back to New York in 1894 in time to
join the mail box robbery combination,
of which four members, Kelly, Whelan,
Wallace and Hamilton himself are
now behind prison bars, while Boyle,
another member, is dead. Charles
Fisher, seventh member of the box
robbers, who was arrested with Wal
lace in Cincinnati, contrived to escape.

CLEVELAND. o., April 3.-The sto-
-ies that have been told concerning the
tortures inflicted by the Spaniards in
Cuba are more than confirmed by Mr..
F. H. TAYLOR who has Just arrived in
this city after a residence of three
years in Havana. In answer to inqui
ries regarding the truth of the circu
lated reports, he said:
THE worst has not been told. have
known of prisoners being strung up
by the thumbs at Moro castle and left
for days at a time to the mercy of the
vicious flies which were attracted by
molasses smeared upon the victims
face and chest for that purpose. Many
other forms of torture are practiced
upon the unfortunate rebels when
taken.
These outrages against humanity do
occur, as any citizen of Havana can
testify. Ir fact. if they would allow
some of the prosecuted wretches in the
Cuban dungeon to testify, stories of
fiendish torture could be unearthed
which would shock the Christian
world
