Burglars Make q Desperate Effort I'm
 Portland.
 Yesterday morning much excitement pre- vailed in Portland when it became known that a desperate attempt had been made by burglars to rob the Portland National bank. The burglars effected an entrance through the directors room in the rear and attempted to crack the vault door and worked some time without success, badly damaging the look. Daylight came upon them, however, and they were frightened away. The only thing they secured were postage stamps to the amount of $1.35. It is supposed there were but two cracksmen. They crossed the river to Cromwell and from there stole team which took them to Hartford, where they abandoned it and disappeared. It was found on Jefferson street, Hartford.
 The burglars left after them can of giant powder and q lot of burglars tools with which they had drilled through the walls of solid masonry.
