MORE ON THE MAINE CENTRAL THIEvING
We have several times had occasion to speak
of the thieves on the Maine Central railroad,
and now another case of crime and detection
comes to light For several months there has
been large quantities of goods lost in this way
on the line, but just where, it was hard to tell.
Detective Head was employed to look the
matter up aid after much sharp work discov-
cred that the missing goods were nearly all
stolen at Auburn. This made the case palmer
but not by any means easy to work up As
usual in such cases, he heard by accident that
one William Francis an Indian, had been SELL
ing eggs in Auburn. This proved to be cor
rect, and the detective began to hunt him up.
He had left Auburn and gone to Dover, where
officer Head found him last Friday. He was
taken into custody and at once acknowledged
all. He also implicated his brother Isaac, at
whose house the plumber had been stored. On
returning to Auburn the detective engaged two
officers from that city and visited Isaac's house,
which was store-house, indeed. The officers
found large quantity of valuable property,
nearly all of which had been stolen from the
Maine Central. This discovery caused the ar
rest of Isaac, who also acknowledged his guilt.
They we're taken before Judge Russell yester-
day and bound over.

The question is frequently asked, "How does
the Equitable Life Assurance Society. of New
York, succeed in doing larger business than
any other company" The answer is plain.
This Company puts more vgor into its man.
agement than any other, and at the same time
adheres strictly to the most conservative prin-
cipes. 1t has nothing bat cash assets, and
pays promptly in cash. 1t employs the highest
talent for Agents and instils them all with the
enthusiastic force which inspires the whole
business. 1t reduces the ratio of its expe nses
from year to year, and increases the number of
its policies. Its plans include all that re sound
and desirable. including the 1ontiae Savings
Fund, which is deserve1ly the most popular.
