Burglars Arrested.

Four weeks ago, the gentlemen's furnishing
goods stone of IT,. Murphy, in Lewiston was
entered by burglars, and quantity of goods
stolen. Later several of the churches were en-
tered during the night and money taken from
the collection boxes. Several merchants In
that city have had goods stolen from in front
of their stores recently. John Regain and Jer-
emiah Collins, two Lewiston young men, were
suspected, but there was no real evidence
against them until recently. Wednesday night
the Portland police were notified by telephone
to look out for Collins and Reagan, as they
had left Lewiston and would probably come to
Portland. Accordingly on the arrival of the
Pullman train at two O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, Officers Hicks, Thrasher and Newcomb
were at the Maine Central railroad depot and
arrested the two fellows and took them to the
station, and trunk also which they ad with
them. The trunk on being opened was found
to contain cuff and collar buttons in quanti
titles, silk handkerchief neckties and other
silk goods, all new; probably part of the
goods stolen from Murphy's store. Yesterday
forenoon Captain French, of the Lewiston DO
lice force, came to Portland and took the men
back to Lewiston on the noon train.

GRAND TRUNK.



The Grand Trunk Railroad Company has
purchased the Thurston real estate, located ON
the square bounded by the lane separating the
passenger station from the piece of land occn-
pied by the Allan Steamship Company's pas
senger office on the South, the round-house on
the east, Fore street on north, and India street
on the west, and are pulling down the old
buildings located thereon. 1t is understood
tina. the company have also negotiated,-al-
though the deeds have not passed--for the
Weeks property on the same square. This
will give the Grand Trunk all of the tquare,
except the small lot. 4Ox5O feet 10 size, used
and owned by the Allans for their steamship
office, ard uossibly the railroad company will
secure this lot also.
1t is reported that Manager Hickson contem-
plates the erection on this lot OF a fire block,
which shall contain the offices of the company
in this city. At present they are scattered.

Trunk ststiop, up stairs, part in the wooden
building on the other side of CONNIE rcisl
street, at the head of Atlantic wharf. and mart
over towards the Portland Compsny's properv

would not only expedite business, but wou,d

Commissioner Fink called the general ras-
senger agents together fer conference at New
York yesterday, with the expectation that the

and that as consequence, irregularities nov
going on in the passenger traffic will be regu-
lated. 1t ia evident. from the expression Of
opinions of railroad men that the Grand Trunk
has acted more honorably by far than the
roads that have hitherto joined the pool only
to make it cover to accomplish selfish ends.
Ii the Grand Trunk does go into the pool it is
to be hoped that it will set the other trrnk
lines the example of making an agreement

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE RoMANY RYE.

Ian uOMANI RYE
AS the public become better acquainted with
the beautiful series Of stage pictures which ar
being exhibited in the performance of the
"Romany Rye" at Portland Theatre, the audi
ences increase in size. The scenes were all
imported from New York and show what can
be done with the Portland Theatre stage. This
is especially the case in the view of Craignest
by moonlight, and Hampton Commons with
the race-course. They compare with the ordi-
nary scenic effects, az seen in this city, as a
splendid oil painting by an artist of note COM
pares with the common daub of q spot boiler.
The drama, ITSELF is like all of its class, full
OF improbabilities and impossibilities, fustian
sentiment and mock heroes, but these are all
so carefully presented that much interest is
created Ia the fortunes of Jack, Philip and
Gertie, even while the spectator feels like
ridiculipg himself for being SO interested with
an old story. The acting is good enough for
the play, and the dog is star. Only one
more performance will be given.
BYRON.
Oliver Doud Byron will probably pack Port
land Theatre Friday and Saturday, and the
sale of seats will begin this morning. Mr..
Byron will appear in ACROSS the Continent"
as Joe Ferris, supported by Kate Byron and
his full company. Oliver always catches the

ception. Saturday night he will appear in
