Bafflsd Burglars at Newport.

Special to the kennebec Journal
NEwfoRr. July Last night burglars
forced the window of the ticket office al
the Maine Central station here. but go,
only few dollars. Station Agent Mitchell
did not lock the safe, and has not done 50
for some little time, as he WAS
sure the burglars would come round
sooner or later; 50 he has simply thrown
the bolt sufficiently TO keep the door in po-
sition iii case of ERE. The burglars ripped
out the inside works of the safe and scat
tered some of the many papers upon the
ground outside the station, evidently
exaspersted at their failure to
realize something Of value to themselves.
Some of the tools used were procured in a
neighboring carriage shop. and the fact
that bit brace was among them indicates
that they expected to drill and blow the
safe.
On Saturday, the soldiers monument was
dedicated 10 due form, and Gen. Howard
delivered his lecture on the Battle of
Gettysburg" Afterwards giving a reception.
The monument, which was furnished BY
the local marble and granite workers
Messrs. Morse 4 Bridges, is about "a feet
high. and made of Hallowell and South
Thomaston granite. 1t is of unique design.
and probably has not its equal for the
cost 81 ,000) in this State.
The statue, which represents U. S. SOL
dier with arms at Parade Rest" was cut
from q block Of South Tnomsston granite
by sculptor in Quincy, Mass, and is a
work of art at once besntiful and impress
sive. The location of this monument. be-
ing on the circular lot in the center of Mt.
Pleasant Cemetery, commanding view of
all the surrounding country, with its
numerous villages, lakes, streams. etc. lie
one of the most beautiful In the whole
State. The credit for this monument be-
longs entirely to the ladies' of Dexter, and
TO them it should be accorded.

HALIFAX. n. g.. July 6--1he New

ster factories TO be closed, if their owners
yielded submissiveiy. Sir Baldwin would

resisted the tyrAnnicai sod unlawful pro-
ceedinss at any and all hazards, stood
up for his countrys right and
liberty, refused to obey the ukase
unless compelled by an armed force.
and invoked the majesty Of the Brissh Law
for the protection os the country and CON
sti.ution, then the great and momentous
issues would be raised. Fortunately, such
a bold and determined Hsmpien had been
found. James Baird, in the interest of his
country. had nobly stood forward and, in
response to repeated orders of Sir
Baldwin to close his factory declined
TO obey. Sir Baldwin then ssnt
an armed force, and drove away the EN-
ployes. took possession of the property,
and placed four armed marines in charge
of the premises. There they stand with
fixed bsyonets and loaded muskets, ready
to overawe any one who would dare enter.
The factory thus deh with is situated on
fisheis brook, BAY Of ST. George. about
20 miles from Sandy Point. Sir Baldwin
has gone further and ordered Bsird's fac.
tory at Sandy Point, to which a,0aHs Htrsn-
al does not apply, closed. Baird ordered
the manager to continue operations until 1t
was taken possession of BY force. Strongest
reasons are for the beliving that Sir Bald
win acted Illegally, He has used coercve
measures without being authorized by the
act Of imperial parliament and without pro
claiming that the district as being under
martial law. ln all probabilities all owners
of factories on the shore will follow the
example set by Baird and refuse TO close.

statutes of the nude type. A lot of people
addressed a letter to the dire ctors last week,
asking that the nude statues be so draped
