CAUGHT.
The Suburban Burglar Arrested.

On Monday, former stable-hand of Col
Sager's called into the stable on Oak street
now Mr.. Henry Taylor Mr.. Taylor
was Harvesting span of horses After little
conversation he went into the Office from
whence he was seen to issue by Mr.. Philip
O'Brien, one of the employees. After he had
departed nice coat was missed, and an old
coat belonging to the Office, had been cunning
ly hung in its place. Thinking the fellow
might intend going to Boston by the boat
O'Brien went aboard in the evening. The man
was there and tried to elude him by going in
to watercloset, where O'BrieD followed him,
took him by the collar, and carried him back
to the stable. Then he sent for Marshal
Bridges who took the fellow to the station.
The mans name is Winthrop Morrill, and he
is about twenty two years old. He denied hav-
ing any baggage but upon search it was found
that he had large bag, filled vita all sorts of
articles, such as bed clothes, rags and house
hold utensils He had in his pc ,kets great
mass of keys of every conceivable size and
shape, revolver loaded, a collection of jack
knives sufficient for cutters store, and other
things too numerous to mention. A sextant
WIN N@pp' OaViu ooyu y hamo Oh IL was AZ
his possession. Mr.. W. H. Clifford identified
several articles belonging to him, which weIe
stolen from his honse at Cape Elizabeth, and
SO did Mr. Brown. 1t is no doubt he is the
fellow who has been guilty of the late suburban
robberies
The overcoat stolen by Morrill, was found at
Mr.. Swift's, in Deering, last night, to whom
Morrill, had sold it. The handkerchief and
glove that had been taken from the pocket
were found back of the mop-board at Taylor's

Children's Christmas Club

The committee who have charge of the ar
engagements for the childrens festival TO be
held Thursday at City Hall, are getting to-
gether many toys for Christmas presents and
the aldermen's room is fast taking on tho APP
pearahce of Santa Clauss headquarters but
it should not be inferred that they have all
the toys they want, for the quota is not yet
nearly full.
There is great need of clothing for boys
from eleven to fourteen years of age. Ten
boys came for clothing yesterday morning and
the committee was unable to supply them. A
few pairs of boots and shoes have been con-
tributed, but in some cases these are in poor
condition and not very attractive to the chill
dren who are to receive them.
All the available clothing should be gather
ed and sent to the city building 1t is not
enough to resurrect some old ragged garments,
long ago consigned to the bag of paper rags.
Remember that there are yet many children
who must have clothes before they can go to
the dinner. Don't think that your little con-
tribution won't do any good, for the small do
nations are the ones that count up.
Preparations are being made Cor accommo-
dating six hundred guests at the dinner next
Thursday For SO large a company an inn
mense amount of food will be required.
No grown people will be admitted to the
hall on Thursday except the workers. Hun
dreds of tickets could be sold, but it is propos
ed to make this simply children's festival not
public exhibition.
AS there have not been as many contribu-
tions of poultry as are desirable owing to the
scarcity IN the market, an opportunity is af-
forded those who wish to purchase turkeys for
the dinner at Sawyer & Dyer's, and at Cloyes'
today.
Members of the club and friends intending
to send refreshments are requested to deliver
food at Reception Hall today before 3 p. m.
