burglary i'm Fairhaven--Thc Sup'
posed Thief Arrested.

On Sunday evening, while the family
was absent at church, the house of Thos.
w. Thomas on Carnarvon street was en-
tered and robbed of over 800 in money.
Entrance was effected through back win
dow. Suspicion at once rested on young
man named John Hannah, who had been
seen lurking in the vicinity. As soon as
the loss was discovered officer Campbell
was notified and put upon the track of
Young Hannah. He was easily traced to
the knights House, where he had taken
lodgings for the night. He was aroused
and arrested, and 800 in bills of same de.
scription as those stolen, were found under
the mattress of the bed. On Monday an
examination was held before Justice Allen,
and the young man was placed under
bonds.
During the progress of this examination
another complaint was entered against the
prisoner by Hiram Hamilton, whose house
had been entered q few weeks ago, and
about $40 taken, under circumstances
which pointed plainly toward the same
young man as the thief. An examination
was held IN this case and the evidence was
sufficient to justify the justice in holding
him to answer to this offense also. In de
fault of bail he was taken to Rutland jail
on Monday evening.

David Sheelian Taken to Clinton Prison

Troy, Nov. "a.
David Sheehan, sentenced to Clinton
prison for life, for the murder of James
Regan, was taken to that prison this morn
ing via 1:45 a. m. tram on the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga railroad, by deputy sheriff
Maxwell. The prisoner was shacklcd hand
and foot, some fears being entertained that
he would attempt to commit suicide, as he
had made threats to that effect in jail Mrs,
Sheehan was in the depot, and, upon his
arrival, rushed to him, weeping bitterly
The prisoner was also very much affected,
and the scene for few moments was pain
fully impressive. Sheehan seemed to be
making an attempt to appear cheerful on
his wife's account, and frequently told her
to keep up good heart and take good care
of the little ones. He desired the state
ment to be made public that his wife did
not urge him TO chastise Regan, as has
been stated, and said that she did not speak
to him about Regain on the night of the
fatal affray. He desired her not to have
anything to do with his brother, towards
whom he feels very bitter. He says that
his brother did not visit him at all while he
was in Jail, or even after he was sentenced.
His last words to his wife were, ''For life,
for life" His wife cried out, ''Keep up a
good heart, David, I'll try and get you out
some time" Mrs. Shcehan visited her hus-
band at the Jail yesterday and remained
there the greater part of the day. The in
terview was sad one, both the prisoner
and his wife being in tears. Her two chill
dren accompanied her, and though they
are aware that something unusual called
them to the place, they were too young to
realize the fathers crime. Several friends
of Sheehan also visited him during the day
and many of them were moved to tears by
the affecting scenes which they witnessed.

A Remarkable Adventure,

About five weeks ago son of DR.. VIII.
Eldridge of this district suddenly disap-
peared, and was not heard from until last
Saturday. The boy says that on the even
ing of Oct. 19,ias he was leaving the apoth-
ecary store on Bunker Hill street, where
he was employed, he was approached by a
man who informed him that fire was
raging in that vicinity of Chelsea bridge,
and asked him to 90 down and see it. Ar
irving at the bridge no fire was to be seen.
and when just on the point OF
returning he was seized around the
neck by the man, who choked him
until he became unconscious, robbed him,
and then threw him over the railing into
waters of the Mystic. The chill which the
plunge into the river gave to his system re-
stored him so that he was able to attempt
to save himself. The tide was running out
and he, being skillful swimmer, kept
from drowning and floated down the stream
until opposite East Boston, where friend
ly spar which was floating came near to
him, and gaining this he floated out
to sea. He subsequently became uncon-
scious and when he rallied again he was
out of sight of land, still clingng to the
log. After remaining in the water nine
teen hours he was rescued by brig bound
for Greenland, and as lie did not care to
visit that country he was placed on board
an English steamer, the name of which he
states was the Norman, and carried to Liv-
crpool. He improved the first opportunity
to return home in the steamer Smyrna,
which arrived at this port last Saturday.
