A DARING ROBBERY.
Thieves Break Into the North End
Clothing Store.

Mr.. j. j. Maher's north end clothing store
was visited by thieves Saturday night and
some valuable clothing stolen. The rascals
gained an entrance at the rear of the store.
Here a bridge platform connects the main
buildings with some wood sheds back of it.
The thieves evidently drove under this
bridge and were thus able to climb upon it.
Once there they removed a pane of glass
the fastener effected an easy entrance. On
the table next to the window is the footprints
Of one of them and some cigar ashes on an
other table also bore evidence Of their pres
ence. The floor was covered with matches,
showing the manner in which they found
their way about The store had been kept
open Saturday night till half past ten o'clock
and as nearly as can be ascertained the rob-
berry was committed between one and four
oclock in the morning. SO far as discov
cred the thieves secured several fine black
worsted suits. How much more remains to
be ascertained. immediately upon the dis
covery of the theft, hligent search was
made by the police, and several clues were
discovered which it is thought will be of
great assistance in finding the thieves. The
| c0olness with which the fellows went about
the work is shown by the fact that they visit
ed several tables and matched the coats,
which they took with vests. The affair has
been kept secret up to the present time in
the hopes that the thieves would appear ia
their new toggery. 1t is to be hoped that the
efforts of the officers to locate these rascali
may prove successful. They were evidently
they stole were the very best in the store.

Hospital had been effectually checked. II
is now week since the recovery of the last
patient in the main ward On Monday =
patient in an outer ward and a workman
about the building were found to be sick
with diphtheria. Both have mild form of
the disease and will soon recover. Several
other supposed cases of diphtheria turned
out to be complaints of di ferent nature.

There was nothing political about it.
Hoar asked Coke if he read in the MORN

had resolved on account of violence not to
put state ticket iuto the field, Coke sail
this was a pslpable tslsehood, and there was
not a republican in Texas who was not as
fearless of the consequences in political and
other acts as the senator from Massachus-

Died in the Evening.

Prof. Proctor died this evening with black
vomit. He arrived in this city Monday di-
rect from Florida by rail and put up at the
Westminster Hotel, East 10th St, aud spent
the summer at his place in Oaklawn in Mar
ion Co, and was not known to have been ex-
posed to fever as there had been no eases in
Marion county He was enrouie to England
where he was TO lecture this fall and winter.
lie left his wife and other members of the
family in Florida, and had engaged passage
by the Umbria for Saturday Yesterday he
complained of feeling unwell. 1t became
apparent that he was very sick The health
officers were called in. lie had high fever
and vomlted at a temperature of l03 l-2, and
face jaundced. His recent arrival from
Florida made the case suspicious. Late in
the afternoon he became better, and it was
deemed best to take him to Willard Parker
hospital, and he was removed there last eve
ming. Everything possible was done for the
sick man, and he rested well all night. Early
this informing a relapse set in and was compi-
Gated by appearance of symptoms of Brights
disease. At 7.l5 death occurred, preceded
by slight convulsions and black vomit of
yellow fever The health officers here are
successfully with the disease

for popular apprehension even should other
cases be imported from the South. Every

MAINE DISPATCHES.
MAINE STATE FAIR,
But the Second Day Anything But That.
The Show Goes on Amid Rain and Mud


LEWISTON, Sept. II.
The second day Of the State fair opened
foul and threatening. 1t did not rain right
owe Tcast-all shut dow n as the sailors say
and the wind Was in the right quarter for
rain. Old Prob. also said the day would
bring rain, and so it did. By o'clock and
even before that time, it commenced to rain
and in an hours time the park was mud,
the track sticky and everybody felt uncom-
Portable in the drizzling rain. Today has
been Grand Army day, and Notwithstanding
the dull morning must have prevented large
numbers from leaving home, yet the SPECIAL
tIalus had been so arranged and the rates of
fare were 80 low that many took advantage
of the opportunity to visit the great fair
for great and interesting it surely is
in all the clements of successful
State exposition. Stlli, it cannot be denied
that the morning was dlscouragiDg. The
few people, comparatively, who were on the
ground spent the morning in the big hall
which oftorded good protection from the
ram, and gave some entertainment for the
hours thus spent. Upon the Park the ex-
amnations OF stock went on as though it was
fair weather. the show rings were full and
the judges kept on with their work. This
was due to the fact that the expert judges
who had been engaged to examine the stock
were obliged to leave to night. The trials of
draft cattle and draft horses, however, could
not take place on account of the condition OF
the ground. The trains have been light all
day, and the hundreds of teams and street
cars running between the city and the Park,
have been loaded very lightly or going emp
ty. On account of the ram during the fore
noon, your reporter spent an hour or two in
small tLy hal, where is choice collection
of paintings from Maine artists. 1he pie

Monday morning the enthusiasm Of local
democrats was great. They were very gen.
eralin their belief that Burleigh's plurality
wouN not exceed 6,0O0. One leading demo
to have predicted that Putnam would be
elec'ed by one thousand plurality. Another
younger and more sanguine democratic work
er set Putnam's plurality at 5000. How
great was the fall of these prophets is shown
by The fact that they are now going about

prospect that, after all, Burleigh's plurality
may not reach quite 20, 900.

the group of COWS at pasture are treated in d
most natural and artistic manner. Harry
Brown also shows four other pieces, three OF
which are marines. Mr.. Eaton exhibits his
great Gettysburg war-piece, picture full
of wonderful hte, movement and atmos
phere, but not a study to please, generally
Mr. Coombs also hangs five or SIX other
pictures. A. W. Ellis. Canton, hangs nine
studies of Maine fish, when are wonderfully
true to nature in coloring,
but they appear too much like show cards 10

~ belong to them. What paintings they
would be if John Mead of Brighton, the fin
est artist of fish IN New England next to Mr.
Walter Bracket of Boston, could only put
in few pebbles. or ferns. or wood flowers
for background, Still Mr.. Ellis is strong
with the brush, although there is want OF
artistic treatment in the studies. There is a
good display of oils, chiefly by amateurs, and
many of the flower pieces are
very clever. Mrs. Ruth b. Gurney
Lewiston, exhibits eight water colors. Mrs
Elizabeth Z. Patterson of Wscssset makes a
large display in several classes of work. A
set of fourteen pieces of China hand painted
and fired by Mrs. Thompson merits the high
est praise, which equally belongs to some
seven or eight pieces of porcelain decorated
by Mrs. Woodbury. Pulsifer of Lewiston

of photographs in every possible style, aud

work in their art print and photo-gravurt
