Kills His Wife and Mother-in- Law Then
 Attempts Suicide.
 CLINTON, H.. April 4.--At 4:3o yes- terday afternoon this city was thrown into the widest excitement by a double murder and attempted suicide. Ed Pollen, formerly employed at the Illinois Central railroad in this city, murdered his wife, formerly Miss Myrtle Green, and his mother-in.law Mrs. McMullen, and then attempted suicide by throwing himself in front of an eastbound freight train. Jeal- ousy is given as his reason for commit- ting the horrible deed. Last night Q great crowd of excited citizens as- sembled in front of the jail, but Mayor McGill addressed them and said Pollen would die of his injuries, and the crowd finally dispersed. It was rumored late at night that Pollen was taken to Decatur for safe keeping. The jail is heavily guarded and no res porters are allowed near it, however.

 by Cruel spaninrds.
 CLEVELAND, O., April 4.-The stories than have been told concerning the tortures inflicted by the Spaniards in Cuba are more than confirmed by Mir. F. H. Taylor, who has just arrived in this city, after residence of three years in Havana. In answer to in- quiries regarding the truth of the cir culated reports he said:
 The worst has not been told. I have known of prisoners being strung up by the thumbs at Moro castle and left for days at time to the mercy of the vicious files, which were attracted in swarms by molasses, smeared upon the vic- s1s face and chest for that purpose Many other forms Of torture Are practiced upon the unfor- tunate rebels when taken. These outrages against humanity do occur, as any citizen of Havana can testify In fact, if they would al- low some of those persecuted wretches in the Cuban dungeons to testify, stories of fendtsh torture could be unearthed which would shock the Christian world

 test.
 DETROIT, Mich, April A-W. H. J. Traynor, supreme president of the American Protective association, has issued circular to the order at large upon the political situation. President Travnor declares that the A. r. A. has n cinch upon the presidential situation, and presents an exhaustive plan for the complete political organization of tho order, from the primaries up. He urges the various state councils to send their representatives to the supreme coun- eil, which meets next month at Wash- iurton, pledged to such reforms as the subordinate members of the order most desire, thus avoiding the danger of strong partisans from using the order for their own ends He makes strong protest against the Marquette statue and especially warns the order to op- pose the resolution of Congressman Morse, of Massachusetts, .Ac- knowledging Almighty God as the source of all power and authority in civil government, our Lord Jesus Christ as the ruler of nations and His revealed will as the supreme authority in civil affairs" This, he says, is remarkable and dam gerous proposal to place the affairs of state in the hands of the church. The writer concludes with the declaration that the Venezuelan war scare was a misleading campaign dodge and that the Cuban and Armenian agitations while advocated by those who were sincere, were mere subterfuges to kill time until after the presidential cleo. tions and distract the attention of the people from proposed and much need. ad national measures of reform

 NEW YORK, April A-R e. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
 Tue improvement expected with spring weather begins, though in some branches of business scarcely visible. As consumers make spring purchases they must lessen stocks and compel buying. The stocks taken In advance oi last summers demands have been distrib- uted far more slowly than was expected out months of waiting have helped to lessen the load which 1t is hoped spring buying will clear away The backward season has been S hin- dranco, ns bas also been the number ot hands unemployed In important industries. and the low prices of farm products Apprehen- sion of foreign financial dificulties has hin- dered, but is now scarcely felt Gold exports are rumored, but at this season are so far nat urai that they have no such power to cause alarm as they had in winter The gigantic steel combination is expected to have great innuence In sustaining markets and st,mulat- ing confidence. and though such operations, often miss the success they seek. they rarely fail to kindle speculative buying for time.
 The woolen manufacture does not gain In or ders and large part of the machinery Is stopped Prices of wool have fallen 7x per cent,the average of lN quotations being Ia 62c. Cotton mills still pile up goods in advance of orders, as reduction in prices have failed as yet to stimulate buying. Cotton continues to come forward so largely that former predic- tions of 6,5o0,00o bales are remembered with derision aud the outlook for the next crop con- tinues good
 Wheat has slightly advanced and if late re- ports of injury from extensive frosts and storms prove correct will advance more, though western receipts continue nearly 50 per cent larger than last year, and for i've weeks past have been S,S35 %i0 bushels. against 883i,- S72 last year, while Atlantic exports have been only 6,733,i32 bushels. flour included, against s,4s5, ,70i last year. Corn exports are larger and receipts also heavy, but pork has declined 75 cents per barrel

Though manufacturers in this country could miss whole crop without great draw backs, Mir. Dittmar says the effect of the war will presently be felt in a ma terial advance in price. The stock lying here at present is sufficient to check any sudden increase and it has been supplemented by the addition of inferior grades during speculation. In the open market Havana prices have advanced about 20 per cent in the past six months,
