Burglary at Yarmouth.

Mr.. G. Merrill's drug store on Main street at
the lower village was entered BY burglars FRI
day night, and two boxes OF cigars, a dozen
pipes, revolver and six pocket knives were
stolen to the amount of about $15. An en-
trance was made through window in the
rear of the building, which let the burglars in
to the back room. Then by the use OF bits,
chisels and a knife, a hole was made in the
door leading into the store, large enough to
get a hand through, to unfasten it and thus adj
mission was gained. Bradbury True, the
tailor, occupies room on the second floor, and
was awakened by the noise of the thieves.
He arose and ia doing so was heard by the
burglars who were frightened away
P. L. Aliens carriage shop was broken into
the same night and the tools-two bits and Bit
stock, two chisels and shoe knife-used In
operating at Mr. Merrill's were taken. The
burglars entered Mr.. Aliens shop through
door leading into the lumber room. No clue
as yet has been found as to who the robbers
were, but it is thought they are amateurs and
probably reside in town. b. d. A.

BoMBARDINa A BURGLAR.
Exciting Experience of Former Resi-
dent of Portland.

The st. Paul and Minneapolis Press OF the
I'd inst gives the following exciting experience
of son of DIR. George F. French, formerly OF
this city and now of Minneapolis:
About o'clock yesterday morning, Mr.. L..
II. French, son of DIR. George f. French, was
awakened by sounds of footsteps on slow
walk leading from the kitchen. he arose
picked up his revolver and walked down
stairs to the kitchen and upon opening the
door saw man standing near one Oh the rear
windows. Surprising that the hired man had
visited the kitchen for some purpose, Mr..
French called out his name, but received no
answer, and in moment afterward the bur
glar made spring toward the open window,
Mr.. French at the same time firing at him.
The man gave yell and whirling partially
around while in the window, he fred back at
Mr. French, the ball passing just to his left
and burying itself in the casing OF the cellar
door, on level with his check, the shot hay
ing been fred with murderous intent. The
plucky young man was not alarmed by the
close call, however, following the burglar
through the window and discharging his last
shot at the retreating form. Unfortunately,
he mad Deen SuOotiuS taeo ou tuo oay PAO-
ceding, and only two chambers of his revolver
were loaded when he engaged in the unex-
pected and dangerous encounter. Had it been
otherwise, he would have followed the burglar
in his fight to and on Hennepin avenue until
he had emptied his weapon or brought down
the game. Mr.. French's courageous conduct
In the emergency shows that he s made OF the
kind OF stuff which criminals fear and good
citizens approve, and his example is worthy OF
general emulation.
Dr. French was awakened by the three shots,
and reached the scene as soon as possible, but
the burglar had made his escape. Both the
doctor and his son feel confident that the bur-
glar was struck by the first shot, as the yell
was such as would be caused by sudden and
intense pain, and the authorities will keep
strict watch for a stranger suffering from
fresh gunshot wound.

The following hymn, composed by President
jackson OF the Maine Central, was sung at
Trinity church in Lewiston Sunday:
Soldiers, awake! this is the festal hour,
Forth from the grave the Saviour Christ has risen
Garland the cross with flowers and fragrant
wreaths
The Savior lives, and death no more hath power
Soldiers, arouse! Danish all Lenten gloom,
Let sacred joy this Easter morn attend,
Jesus hath burst the mighty bands OF death,
And holy angels guard the riyen tomb.
Soldiers, to prayer! kneel first this blessed day
To Him the Lord of Hosts the King of Kings;
See on your banner His redeeming cross,
And there your motto, ever watch and pray"
Soldiers, to arms Forth to life's battle field,
The Spirits Sword your only trust shall be,
While on your brow salvation's helmet rests,
And Christian faith protects you as shield.
Soldiers, salute with Heavens triumphant host,
Jesus, the Prince of Peace, the Conous ror!
Yield Him the homage due Almighty God;
Worship the Father. Son and Holy Ghost.

Wall from q Waldo County Fusion
Oroqn

The Fusionist Progressive Age, of Belfast,
is discouraged over the poor prospects OF fusion
in Maine and deplores that little has been done
toward uniting the opposition elements. 1t
says:
"In the first place in order for the opposition
to stand an even chance to win. it should in
sist that fair and constitutional apportion-
ment Of the State should be made; and in the
next place the union of the two opposition par,
ties should be made in the conventions, and
the miserable policy of mere chance alliance at
the polls which is as fatal in politics as it is IN
war, should be abandoned. We may win by
going into the battle helter-skelter, as now
seem to be the prevailing idea with our two
State Committees, but it looks to us Jas If the
chances were not in our favor"

The Mayor has caused the alley adjoining
the Merchants Exchange and the passage-way
in the rear to be cleaned up. both being public
highways. 1t has been the practice of many Of
the shop keepers and others ali up and down
Exchange street, and some even on Middle
street, to dump ashes in the rear and vicinity
of the Exchange, but anyone caught doing SO
in the future will be made an example of,
since they have no moro. right to dump rbbish
or to otherwise obstruct these passages than
they have to commit the same to Exchange
street. Now if he will have Park street looked
after, which is one of the greatest thorough
fares in the city, he will do good thing.
