SOUTH PORTLAND BURGLARY.
The Full Particulars of the Affair as
Procured Yesterday.

The PRESS yesterday morning exclusively
announced the burglary at c. A. Tilton's at
South Portland, and the loss of a large sum
of money and valuable papers. At a. M.
that was all Of the affair the paper could
give. The particulars of the burglary are
these:
A little after o'clock Mrs. Charles A,
Tilton was aroused by the noise of an ex-
plosion. She reused her husband and they
both looked out of the window to see IL there
was any commotion. Everything seemed to
be as usual and there was no sign of any
posite side Of the street. Mr.. Tilton went
back to bed but Mrs. Tilton remained at the
window some time longer. Soon she saw
two men. one tall and the other short. come
down the street walking towards the har-
Dor. She thought it little odd that any
body should be stirring at that hour, but
suspected nothing out of the way. After she
had gone to bed again an idea came to her
suddenly and she said to her husband,
Your safe has been blown open and those
ton dressed and went over to the store. AS
he unlocked the door he found the store full
0f gunpowder smoke and going to his safe
ne discovered that it had been literally
blown to pieces. The safe door lay on the
floor with the combination and hinges
smashed. A hole had been bored into the
door half way between the combination
knob and the handle of the bolt. This had
been filled with gunpowder. with the result
described. The burglars had gained admis-
ion through back window and had depart
ed In the same way.
The amount of money taken was about
$500. besides a lot of checks of no value ex-
cept to the owner. Near the back window
Mr.. Tilton found the town bank book with
$l55 In bills between The leaves. This had
been dropped by the burglars in their haste
to escape. Mr.. Tilton Is town treasurer.
Near the window were found two chisels
bearing the initials -. w. E." Upon in
vestigation it was found that these belonged
to j. w. Eastman. The burglars had
broken back door IN his shop and taken
them, for use in forcing open the window, il
Is thought.
Thursday afternoon two men were loafing
about South Portland and were regared with
some suspicion. They were probably the two
men seen by Mrs. Tilton yesterday morning
and the ones who robbed the store. Yester-
day they appeared to be looking about the
village. They went into Mr.. Coles store
and bought, one of them two bars of soap,
and the other one bar.

A remarkable case of diamond cut
diamond occurred in Boston recently,
not far from the Providence railroad
station. A druggist had fitted up q
neat corner store and had established
at once a fine trade. One day another
druggist entered his store and said: II
want to buy you out, How much will
you takeT' 81 do not want to sell, -
was the reply. II expected that an
swer," said the eucroaching person,
land l am prepared forit. Now, if
you don't sell out to me | will open a
drug store in opposition on the oppo-
site corner. How much will you takeF'
The druggist, offended at this species
of browbeating, said he would sleep on
it and report the next morning. At
the appointed hour the aspirant was
in the store and a large price was named.
The bargain was bound. The druggist
who had been thus Ousted from a cor
ner which he had fitted up with a view
to years of peace and profit sought the
owners of the opposite corner which
had been held out TO him as a threat,
secured from them a long lease, worked
night and day, and now has a drug
store in which any community might
take satisfaction and reposec confidence.
What is more, he is doing a better bust
ness than he did in the former locality.

One of the most notable examples of
the constant and yet almost imper-
ceptible changes taking place in the
heavens is to be found in the motion of
the seven bright stars collectively
known as the big dipper. Higgins,
the noted astronomer, is now engaged
In proving that five of these stars are
moving in the same direction, while
the other two are moving in a direction
directly opposite. Prof. Flammarion
has reduced Higgins calculations to a
system, arranging them upon charts.
These ingeniously constructed heavenly
outlines show that 1Qo, 900 years ago
the Clipper stars were arranged in
the outline of a large and irregular
shaped crossi and that 100, 900 years
hence they will have assumed the form
of an elongated diamond, stretching
over three or four times the extent Of
say now occupied.-St. Louis Republic.

DECATUR, ILL.,, Aug. 29.-The body OF
Mrs. Cal Matthias was found in a field
near Decatur this morning with her throat
cut from ear to ear. She was a handsome
woman, IS years old, anG had a husband
and three children. Her body was found
about two blocks from her house, and in
her hands bits of grass and brush were
clinched and the surrounding ground
showed that the woman had struggled
desperately for life. Her husband was
absent from home and her three children
had been left over night by themselves.
1t was soon learned that William Crawford,
who had previously worked for Matthias
aud for whom it was said Mrs. Matthias
had too friendly a feeling. had been at
the house at $50 last night. Some time
ago Crawford was arrested for an alleged
attempt at burglary at Matthias house.
1t was said then that he was charged
with the crime by Mrs. Matthias to shield
herself. The grand jury indicted him
and he was taken to Jacksonville. He
succeeded in getting bond and a few days
ago returned to Decatur. A posse,
suspectlng him, started after hun, and
about 10 o'clock found him at the home
of his sister, eight miles northeast Of
Decatur. Crawford saw the officers
coming and ran. When the officers com
manded him to halt be turned half
around and. drawing a razor. with one
slash cut bis throat, missing the arteries,
but severing the w~indpipe. He then
made a written confession. saying he had
killed the woman because he loved her.

CLEVELAND. Aug. 29.-For a month
past a very handsome man and woman
with two pretty little boys have been
living in rented rooms at 9 Grange street.
They gave the names of George NJ. San
born and wife, and the man obtained m
ployment in a book store. On Tuesday
7. j. Kicks, a wealthy citizen of Eureka,
Cal, arrived here and obtained the
services of a detective to locate his runaway
wife and two children, whom he had
traced to this city, in company with a
Congregational minister named Sanborn.
Kicks says that Sanborn came to Eureka
early in 1889, was appointed pastor of the
Congregational society, built a fine new
church and was very popular as a man
and preacher. -Four months ago Mrs.
Kicks started for Reno, ostensibly for a
visit to friends, taking the children aged
4 and 2 years. About the same time
Sanborn left for a vacation. The next
thing Kicks heard was that his wife had
eloped with Sanborn. He traced them
to San Francisco and Chicago and then
here. When confronted BY Kicks q
terrible scene took place. Kicks was
determined to kill Sanborn at first, but
was restrained by the detective. Nego-
%tiations we're in progress for two days,
and ended in Mrs. Kicks surrendering the
children. sigping off her rights to certain
property. and receiving $1,000 in cash
from Kicks. The latter offered to forgive
his erring wife and take her home, but
she refused. Sanborn and Mrs. Kicks
left for the East today. He is nego-
tiating for a passionate in Massachusetts.

A victim OF the ingenious system of
misdirection by signs upon the street
cars has related to me his adventures
in making an economical transit across
the ;ity. His itinerary consisted of a
trip to the New York and New England
railroad station. where he was to pick
up a gripsack and umbrella left at the
parcel room i'll the morning. and thence
to take IA train out of town on the
Eastern railroad. This was to be done
at the small cost OF ten cents. bSsayail-
ing himself OF the admirable facilities
in the way OF street ear transportation.
He tells me that he first boarded a car
on which the nGIac of the New Eng
land railroad station was prominently
displayed, and sat in peaceful conf
dence until he found himself in the
neighborhood of the Maverick bank,
when n question put to the conductor
drew out the information that the route
named on the sign board of the car
would not be followed until some
time in the falls
He took a herdic and thus made his
first station. Securing his gripsack he
thought himself fortunate in finding a
a just passing whose signs told that it
was on its way to the Eastern depot"
When some point in the South Cove
was reached he learned from the con
ductor, on inquiry, that If he should
get out and walk to the next block he
would find a car going in the opposite
direction which would take him to his
destination. He then hired another
herdic and managed to catch his train.

Merely a low price is not an evidence of
c~heapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the
best clothes they eau afford to wear, and
u rightly-made garments are intended
to supplsnt the custom work. Therefore
you cannot judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.
