New York, May 1.-THE majority
of the song birds of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company were passengers

quale Amato and Nine. Destinn, each
of whom is credited with having

more earned by the singers during
the season, only about $4,000, how
ever, went to American song birds.
Miss Geraldine Farrar is cred ted with
having made no less than SIS, 900,
while of her compatriots, Nine. Louise
Homer received $4,000, and Ricardo
Martin got as much as $4,000.

KILLS HUSBAND OF
OLD SWEETHEART
Sensational Adventures of
English Burglar.

London, May ia thrilling tale
OF The adventures and misdeeds of an
escaped convict, which do credit to
the pages of the most sensational dime
novels comes from Gateshead, where
Thomas Craig, the hero of the story
was arrested IN tie loft of barn af-
ter wandering tn ough the country
for three weeks, during which time
he killed the husband of his former
swee5 heart.
Craig was sentenced about year
ago to serve seven years on the charge
of burglary. While in prison he sent
numerous letters to his sweetheart,
Annie Walker, begging n3r to wait
for him, and threatening to kill her
if She married any one else. But in
the meantime had met and married
a man by the name Of Thomas Hender-
son.
Three weeks ago Craig escaped
from prison and he Immediately made
his way to his sweetheart's dwelling.
He learned OF her marriage and then
traced Her to her new home, where
he surprised the young couple as
they We're hanging pictures. After a
few words of denunciation he drew
a revolver and shot his rival in the
back, killing him instantly Mrs.
Henderson was wounded but not dali
gerously.
Craig dashed out of the house and
wandered through the woods for
three weeks, always managing to eIude
the police, and now and THEN des-
cending on a farm house at night to
replenish his larder.
Yesterday six Gattshead policemen
and twenty constables met at Cor
bridge. and began a 'drive" of the
farms around. They searched sew
eral plantations and then heard that
a cowman and his wife, named Gil
bertson, had picked some cigarettes
up from the straw in the cow-byre
at Dilston Farm.
The farmer said that he had seen
no one about, but Police Constable
R id, of the Gatsthead force, began
searching the place. He and the
farmer and Detective Johnson climb
ed up to the loft and Reid pointing
to heap in the corner said, There's
a bag"
That's no bag; it's only so ne
straw" sad the farmer. Reid step
ped quietly to the corner, found that
the heap was a man lying face down
ward and nearly buried in straw, and
gripped hold of him.
The man awoke, and as he rolled
over, Reid saw that he was Craig
the hunted man. Craig tried quickly
to pull his revolver from his pocket,
but the two constables grappled with
him, held him down, disarmed and
handcuffed him. They found that HIS
revolver was loaded in all five cham
bers, and that he had some cartridges
in his pocket.
Near him were lying bottles Of
whiskey, brandy and beer, which he
had stolen from houses he had broken

THE $4,000 TON SHIP
Is NEXT ON THE LIST.
Great Steamships For Fu-
ture Foreign Trade.

London, May 17.-Mr. Booth, chair
man of the Cunard Steamship Com
pany, said at recent meeting of the
shareholders that in his Judgment the
future of the New York Board of
Trade lay with the 10000 or $4,000
ton combined passenger and cargo
boat He spoke from the experience
gained with the Lusitania and Maure-
tania, each of them of nearly $4,000
tons. 8hese two levathians have been
50 successful that ship still larger
is to be built to share the New York
service with them. 1t is believed that
the new vessel will not possess the
speed of the Lusitania and Maure-
tania.
In the near future there will >,e
four monster ships exceeding in size
the present Cunarders. Two of them
are well under way, the Olympic and
Titanic, each of which is to be of about
$4,000 tons. They are for the White
Star line and are to run from South
ampton to New York The launching
Of the Olympic at the yards of the
Messrs. Harland & Wolff is fixed for
October next, and the Titanic is. ex-
pected to be ready not long after.
A third vessel of the 10000 ton
order is that which, the Hamburg
American line is to build in Germany.
Herr Balm had this steamer in view
two or three years ago, but cancelled
the order he had given to Mess"s.
Harland & Wolff owing to the de-
pressing outlook for Atlantic traffice.
Neither the White Star boats nor
the German skip will have very high
speed. Probably twenty knots will be
the limit The Olympic will be fitted
with a combination of the reciprocal
ing engine and the turbine.
With regard to the cost of building
large vessels it is pointed out that
the government advanced the Cunard
Company $13,O0O,OOO for the building
of its two triple turbine ships, which
suggests that the expenditure of not
less than $6,5OO,OO0 on each vessel.
The two White Star boats are expect
ed to cost about the same sum, the
more moderate speed aimed at helping
to compensate for Their superior di-
mansions.
Mr.. Booth remarked at the Cunard
meeting that twenty years ago a
weekly service to New York would not
have represented a greater capital out
lay than $7,500,000.

RAILROAD CHANGES.

THE changes among the officials of the
Il Pennsylvania Railroad system announced
Yesterday affect particularly Superintendent
William NJ Bahnard of the Maryland Division,
and Superintendent A. J. Whitney, of the Del
aware Division. Mr. Barnard has been pro-
NOTED 20 the staff of the General Managers of.
fee in Philadelphia and Mr. Whitney will be-
come superintendent of the Maryland Division
as the successor of Mr.. Barnard. The new SUI
perintendent of the Delaware Division Is to be
Mr.. +. b. John who is at present principal as
sistant engineer of the Philadelphia Baltimore
and Washington Railroad Company Mr.. Ban
nard for some years has been at the head Of
the Maryland Division, and resident OF this
city 1t is gratifying to his friends TO know that
he and his family will continue to live in Viii
mngton
MIR. Bannard's long experience in railroad work
well qualities him for the special duties that he
will undertake i'm connection with the General
Managers Office Not long ago Mr.. Barnard
issued statement TO the newspapers announc-
ing that the company would hereafter furnish
accurate news of any happenings on the Mary
land Division and while, of course, this is but
a small matter IN connection with his many du-
ties il was step that showed the company's ap-
probation of the desire of the public to have the
legitimate news.
The promotion of Mr. Whitney in some re-
spects is a remarkable step forward for him.
Mr.. Whitney is regarded as a born railroader. y
He has not been long IN Delaware. and 1t has
been the custom to keep the same man superin-
tendent of the Delaware Railroad Company for
years Mr.. Whitney. as superintendent of the
Delaware Railroad Company, soon acquired a
wide knowledge of Delaware affairs. not only
as they affected the Delaware Railroad Com
pany, but also as they related to other matters.
Mr. John will be a new man in Wilmington,
and no doubt he will soon become thorough
Delawarean as Mr.. Whitney and MIR. Barnard
have become. The people of the State arc al
ways interested in the superintendent of the
Delaware Railroad Company because the COM
the people Of the State than has any other cor
poration
