THE NEW EAsTERy ROUTE.
From Worcester to Portland Direct.

The work on the new line which is to connect
this city with Portland is so far advanced that
through trains are expected to run regularly by
the end of November. The route will be made
up of the Worcester and Nashua Railroad,
the Nashua and Rochester Railroad now be-
ing built, and leased by the former making
practically one line, and the. Rochester and
Portland road. The iron on the Nashua road
will be laid to-day; the bridge over the Merri-
mack at Concord, will be completed this month,
and the ballasting of the road will then be the
only work uncompleted. Fonr gravel trains
are now at work on 1t, two OF them running

ing nearly completed.
The Nashua and Rochester road is leased by
the Worcester and Nashua road for fifty years,
and the latter has also business contract with
the Rochester and Portlend road which ensures
prompt and efficient through line from here
to Portland. The a. m. express, which has
been run from here for White Mountain travel,
is TO be continued as a through train to Port
land. BY it passengers by either route from
New York will, after comfortable breakfast
mere, go through to Portland and beyond, with
out the vexatious delay necessitated by crossing
the city of Boston by carriages. The train
from here at AIS p. IN. will also be through
train to Portland. Arrangements ara COM

other points east of Portland can take the Maine
Central road at Westbrook. four miles out of
Portland, without loss of time st ~
The new line will also communicate at Port
land with the Grand Trunk road and its con-
nections by the Marginal way, which has been
constructed by the city, and is practically an
extension of the Rochester and Portland road.
This new line and its connections at Portland
promise to bring large addition to the BUSH
ness and travel through this city, and will
bring the two cities into near relation to each
other. 1t would be well if the opening of the
road could be the occasion of a mutual inter

CRIMINAL NOTES. = Sunday afternoon the
junk stor e of Paine & Co., near the foot of
Union street. was entered by burglar, who
climbed on the roof of the cooper shop adjoin-
ing and entered through the window. He then
went to the counting room and took what little
money there was in the drawer. He took a
basket of old copper and three coats and de-
parted. 1t appears that his movements were
watched by some one who yesterday morning
notified officer York that George Denrison,
barkeeper for Hugh Doherty, was the man
wanted. The officer ascertained that Dennison
had shipped on the barque .'Cienfuegos," that
was intending to sail for Cuba yesterday, and
arrested him on hoard. Deputy Marshal
Bridges and himself then looked up the coats,
which they discovered had been sold to some
seamen on a vessel in the harbor.
Officers Rich and Gribben arrested two young
men yesterday on Commercial street, on suspi-
cion of swindling. They gave their names as
7. L. Kitsell and James Varney, and hail from
Boston. There were four fellows in the gang.

(. The Auburn JAIL REvoLr-The Lewiston
Journal furnishes an intensely thrilling nara
tive of the attempted escape of The prisoners
from Auburn Jail Saturday night, from
which we learn that the plot had been laid
sometime before and was not entirely I'M
known to the turnkey, which doubtless pre-
vented the success which might otherwise have
attended it. Lewis seems to have been the
most desperate of the gang and the most diff
cult to subdue. Allen escaped early in the
affair, but was captured in the evening in Lew
iston. Our own Nelson Leighton did valiant
service in preventing a general escape, ex-
pecting, doubtless, a remission of portion Of
his sentence as reward for his loyalty and
devotion. The English language seems to be
totally inadequate to express the deep sense of
obligation which The keepers of the Jail feel
toward Shoppey, the female prisoner who
very opportunely shut the Jail door. Haskell

did excellent service. w
The Loss OF CAPT. SYMoNDs' DAUGHTER
Communicable friends of Capt. Symond,s
and family of Kennebunk have received tele-
gram from the owners of ship Kingsbridge which
collided with another ship in the British chan
mel the 18th inst, confirming the first report
that Capt. Symonds, his wife and daughter
were lost with the ship. TWAS hoped that the
daughter was not on board, as it was expected by
last news received from her that she was not to
60 the voyage but was to come home in the
steamer sailing fir ON Liverpool the 9Th.
The slip was an iron one and collided with
another iron ship belonging to some owners
which was bound up the channel.
Mrs. Symonds was the daughter of DIR. N. E.
Smart of Kennebunk. Their daughter Susan
who was lost was fine young lady, and was
engaged to be married to young physician of
Kennebunk. The mother of Mrs. Smart lives
in Kennebunk aad is widow. p

The MUsEUM.-One of the best houses yet
seen at the Museum witnessed the first pre-
sentation Of Caste in this city last night
The mere announcement of the play was a
drawing card.
Considering the adverse circumstances under
which the comedy was presented and the awk
wardness incidental to first night it passed off
with marked success success which must
have been as gratifying to the management as
it surely was to the audience The leading role
of course was that of Eccles, the tipsy and ter
rible old paterfamilias who is strongly sug-
gestive of the Irish Captain in Pendenns. To
praise Mr.. Ryan for his impersonation of Ec-
Giles is quite superauous, for it has met with
even enthusiastic praise from dramatic critics
all over the country. As a finished piece of
character acting it will favorably compare with
the masterpieces of our most eminent comedi-
ans The role is repulsive one from its very
nature, but Mr.. Ryan makes it so exqusitely
ludicrous. and gives SO natural rendition
that we are ready to forgive the intrusion Of the
wretched advocate of communism upon the
scene.
Miss Campbell is careful and painssaking
actress and did as well as could be expected
with a character which is SO evidently unsuited
to her as is Esther.
Mrs. Grattan gave the stately Marquise de
St. Nav very acceptably. She is one of the
best ''old women on the circuit, and is careful
and finished actress.
Miss Chippendale won great favor with the
audience as Polly, giving spirited and viva
cious rendition of the part
Mr. Bartlett favored the audience with one of
mis- usual finished presentations, and as George
D'Alroy left nothing to be desired. His decid-
ed merit is fast making itself felt, and his APP
pearance on the stage is always the signal for
warm applause.
Mr.. Calder as Sam Gerridge was worthy of
all praise His makeup was good, and he
showed an appreciation of the requirements of
his part which commanded the hearty approval
of his audience.
Mr.. Lonsdale did better as Capt. Hautree
than in any role he has previously undertaken;
yet there is something wanting in his imper-
sonation Of the English swell-one of those
young handles of whom Wellington said that
they made the best officers in his army.
AS whole the play was pronounced sue
cess, and it is safe to predict for it a long and
gratifying run.
The farce of sThe Two Potts." in which
Messrs. Ryan and Calder took the leading
parts, concluded the entertainment. 1t was
very amusing and was hugely enjoyed by the
audience. Z

Monsieur Ernst, an old French dancing
master in Cincinnati, committed suicide on
Saturday night by shooting himself through
the heart. A few months ago he deserted his
wife, leaving her penniless to die in hos.
pital, while he made a pleasure-trip to Paris.
Returning to Cincinnati on Saturday morn
ing, he fond that his former friends refused
to recognize him; whereupon, after break
fasting at restaurant, he proceeded to the
hospital in which his wife had died. secured a
room under pretense Of being ill, and the
next morning was found dead by his own
hand. The Commercial, in its account of the
affair, states that his breakfast was ere
markable" one: 'First he ate dozen oysters,
next a big chunk Of broiled salmon, taking a
pint of claret with it; next mutton chop or
two, with coffee; next porterhouse steak,
which, the steward states, he ate to the bone
all around; last Of all, some ice-cream." The
question arises, did he commit suicide be-
cause his old acquaintances turned the cold
shoulder to him, or because he was apprehen-
sive that his digestive faculties would prove
inadequate to the proper disposition of that
z remarkable :" breakfast?

beautiful feature was introduced. We learn
that the ladies' of the church conceived the
happy idea of displaying in appropriate shape
the different products OF the earth with which
our people have been blessed during the year.
All the varieties of fruits to be obtained at
this season of the year were neatly and artisti-
cally arranged in large basket, surrounded
the whole forming a most beautiful picture.
The basket was displayed at the altar, during
the services, in full view of those assembled.
At the conclusion of the services the entire
congregation gathered at the altar to enjoy
closer inspection Of the pyramid Of fruits and
flowers, and were enthusiastic in their express
sions of admiration. -Macon Star.

BEHIND THE SCENES.
Is Kellogg the Returning Board

Many rumors have been current on the
streets for the past two days relative to certain
changes on the Returning Board, but nothing
definite could be learned until this morning,
when the letter We give below came to light.
From this it appears Kellogg, and not the
Board, has the appointing power to fill vacan-
cies. IF Mr. Cazanave has resigned, by what
authority is he now sitting as member:
STATE OF LOUISIANA,
Executive Department.
New Orleans, November 10, 1874 !
Oscar Baron Boisfontaine, Esq. New Orleans:
Deqs Sy--A vacancy exists on the Return
ing Board by virtue of the resignation OF Mr..
Casanave. The act creating said board re
quires an equal division amongst the different
parties existing in Louisiana, and inasmuch
as the Democratic party has but one repre-
sentative thereon and with an earnest desire
to reconcile all parties and a full compliance
with the law, j ask Of you, knowing your
avowed and strong proclivities to accept OF
the position as q member OF the Returning
Board, thereby enabling me the more effec-
tuaily to carry out the provisions OF said law.
An answer in person is requested at as early
an hour as convenient to yourself
Believe me to be yours, ETC.,

Private Secretary OF the Governor.
Mr.. Boisfontaine declined the proffered
honor and as yet, so far as we know, there is a
