ARREST OF THIEvEs.-An item in yester-
day mornings PRESS announced that the store
of Summer Seabury at Yarmouth had been
robbed. Soon after the paper was issued Capt
Squirting of the schooner Maggie Willard went
out to Fish Point to get boat he had tnrned
over on the beach. Beneath the boat was
found number Of articles, 1such as stockings
mittens, knives, sc. 1t was suspected that
they had been stolen, and Capt. Squirting sent
for the police. Marshal Bridges and Deputy
Crowell responded and on going to the spot at
once recognized the goods as those stolen from
Yarmouth Not far away two young men
were seen lounging about. Suspecting they
might know something of the affair they were
plumber They were taken to the station
where they gave the names of Eugene Little
and John Kelley. Little owned up the whole
affair and told where still more goods were
hid. Marshal Bridges drove out to Yarmouth
with him in the afternoon and about two miles
this side of the villageza basket was found hid
in clump of bushes. Itwas filled With plug
tobacco. mittens, knives, pipes, &c. 1t is now
quite certain that all the property stolen has
been secured and In good order. 1t was good
haul.
The discovery..of the above theft led to 9TH
ers. During the evening the marshal and dep.
uties drove out on Vaughan's bridge and ar
rested a man named George Addlerly- oon-
cerned in the gang. The house of S. L. Tay-
lor near by was searched and in it was discov-
cred large lot of goods of all kinds They
had been taken from the storaof Andrew
Hawkes. at Stroudwater and from stores at
Kennebunk and Saccarappa. Taylor, who is
watchman on the Ogdensburg railroad, was ar
rested for receiving stolen goods.

ance to the people of the village by their fire.

do, from one to three or more, to some OF the
houses, day. Sunday night nine were
furnished lodging in the lookup, and last even
ing the police were out in force looking them
up to see that they were properly housed. Ii
they really wish for work it is surely hoped
that they may get it, but tshould the annoyances
keep on as it has begun, the tramp law
would be welcomed by the people in this vicln-

Bracket street school House.

Mr., EDIToR:-The many complaints OF par
ents, teachers and scholars, regarding the sani-
tary condition of this school house, led to a
visit at 8. 80 this morning of the writer and two
other parents. We found on entering the
building an almost intolerable odor, notwith-
standing all of the doors and windows were
opened to let in fresh air; these of course must
be closed when school commences. On inves-
tigation we were not surprised at this state of
things, for the old fashioned vaults instead of
being placed outside and at the end of the
building, are 10 the c5nter. And the doors
open directly into the school rooms, and every
minute these foul odors are waited through
the building, and no ventilation to help the
sufferers. We found all of the teachers and
and dozens of the scholars have been SICK, and
the schools much broken mp by the withdrawal
of others. whose parents have found out what
a vile and miserable building this is. The tax
nayers Of Ward are entitled to better treat
ment than this, for we pay double the tax Of
apy other ward and it does seem hard after
paving taxes for years to support schools, not
to have a decent place to send child when
the time arrives for him to commence his ed
ucation. What we need is to have this old
trap laid even with the ground and bui'd
modest, cheap two story school house, having

| good ventilation. In the name OF humanity

The 8 Swindling Case.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The statements in your issue
on the 4th inst, in regard to an " Adroit
Swindler'' who, it was said, rented piano of
me and that lost the same, need correcting
The facts are these:
A man, who gave his name as George Hoyt
of Springfield, came to my warerooms and ar
ranged to have piano sent to his home to
await the arrival of his daughter, then in Brat
tleboro, VT, attending school. After waiting
a day or two, Hoyt came and apolOgized for her
non-arrival. He appeared exceedingly anxious
to talk to me on religious matters, but did not
appreciate his true inwardness at all, his breath
being so full of bad rum it might be considered
a clear case for search and seizHre PerceiVing
him to be an unmitigated fraud, l concluded
his s'dear child" as he called her, had got on
the mixed train for Portland and would be too
long coming.
Notifying the City Marshal of my suspicious,
he requested me to allow the piano to remain
while he would watch his movements. The in
strument remained but short time. when L
sent for it and took it away. Meanwhile Hoyt
was active in trying to obtain money on the
piano. A gentleman stated yesterday that he
had the money all counted out for him, but
that for some reason he did not take it, An
other party it seems was not so fortunate he
produced and gave fraudulent bill of sale
purporting to be for this piano, whereas this
identical instrument was not manufactured al
the time the bill was dated.
If this man Hoyt is still wanted probably ht
