ROBBED ON THE oIRoAss1AN.

ROBBED ON THE CIRCASSIAN.
Over $4,000 Worth of Money and
Valuables Stolen From an Allan
Line Passenger.
The steamer Circassian of the AL
Ian line, from Liverpool to Portland
via Halifax, says Portland, Me-,
special of the goth ultimo to the
Boston Globe, reached that city Fri
dan, and was locked at II o'clock.
Capt VIM. FL. Smith says he en-
countered severe gales from the
moment of the start, which contin-
ued until she made Portland in the
midst of a snow storm. Among the
passengers was w. II. Haigh, on his
way to Port Hope, Canada. He
was Of free and genial disposition,
and veay fond of inviting gentle
men to his room. One of his con-
slant companions he knew personally.
The rest he made the acquaintance
of after coming on board. Haigh
had crossed the ocean many times,
and had reason to know that, in the
belief Of the Steamship Company
and officers, a regular gang of pro
fessional pickpockets make bust
ness of crossing the Atlantic, coming
here on Allan and Dominion steam
ers of the White Star line. But he
kept a large sum of money and
many valuables in carpet-bag,
placed at the head of his bed. 1t is
believed that his habit of keeping
valuables about him became known
to one of these professionals, who
followed him from London. The
morning before reaching Halifax
he reported to Capt Smith that he
had been robbed of 60 in gold,
ego in Bank of England notes, one
large diamond ring and other
jewelry, worth in all about $4,000.
Private papers of great value were
also missing, making the ROBBERY a
very extensive one. The night be-
fore he had as usual entertained sew
eral gentlemen in his stateroom.
The steward who had charge of the
room had been with the line four
teen years, and was not suspected.
Haigh declined to state whom he
suspected. Capt. Smith ordered the
ship and crew to be searched, and
on arriving at Halifax procured a
warrant and offered to search the
cabin passengers, but to this Haigh
objected, and at last refused to al
low it; so there is no prospect that
the money and jewelry will ever be
recovered. But the papers may be.
by paying heavy reward. Haigh
left the steamer at Halifax and ca
bled home for more money. This
is the first serious robbery that has
occurred on the Allen line steamers
since Sprungly robbed many passen
gers of the Circassian some five
years ago. He claimed to be al
English gentleman, had plenty 0.
money, was not even suspected a
first, but was searched after going
on shore and a great amount o
plumber recovered In the Haigl
case, Capt. Smith, before allowing
any one to leave, brought three de
tectives on board, who searched tn
ship and crew in the most thorough
manner, thus showing that the thief
was probably committed by som
one i'm the cabin.

Monticello Constitution.
= x 1t is not the province
of fearless and outspoken press,
in cases of homicide or other crime,
to manufacture sentiment for or
against prisoner Every case is
presumed to be tried upon its merits,
and by an impartial and unbiased
jury. The moral condition of So
ciety-the private character of the
alleged criminal-not the mere opin-
ions of men, based, almost invariably
upon idle rumor, should not be uti-
lied by the press to the detriment
of a man charged with murder He
is entitled to a fair, unbiased trial,
by a jury of his countrymen, and the
only weapons of warfare be en-
ployed against him, are the facts,
the law presuming him to be lnno-
cent until proved to the contrary,
After conviction-for the purpose
of a scare-crow-the fearless and
outspoken press" can legitimately
exercise its prerogatives to properly
characterize the crime and its per
petratOr.

We are informed that Mrs. Saxon,
the distinguished lady who will lecture
on temperance at this place on the

tive TennesSeau, but her father, Mr..
Lyle, when probably she was quite
young, was citizen of this place, en-
gagged as brick contractor. 1t is said
that he built the old Warren House
for Mr.. John Cain, many years ago.
If SO, as we believe it is, her visit will
be none the less interesting. From
the numerous favorable press notices,
and endorsements of those who have
heard Mrs. Saxon, it will be rare
treat to hear her. Let as many as can
come from the country as well as the
town to hear her.
