-Turkish train robbers are point or
two ahead of the American article. They
recently derailed an express train and held
the passengers for a ransom of $40, 900, and
they got it. The money was advanced by
the German Consul at Constantinople but
it is fair to presume that it will be repaid,
with interest, by the Turkish government.

WASSERMAN'S FIRE.
Sheriff Cram inquiries Into Its Causes
Still Further.

The inquest into the fire which caught in
the store of the Wassermans. at 12S Middle
street Tuesday evening. December 9Th,
was continued yesterday afternoon, in the
Municipal Court room.
The principal interest was taken in the
testimony of the Wassermans. They are
Russian Jews. of the class so prosecuted
in that country now. Their appearance
would confirm the impression generally
prevailing that the government of Russia
has been very oppressive for many genera
tions. Their testimony would indicate
that they have become expert in one of the
principal weapons of the oppressed. They
said little that would really incriminate
them. although they frequently contradict
ed themselves. Young Lewis Wasserman.
for instance, testified solemnly that he had
no relations, except his immediate family,
nearer than New York; but when County
Attorney Robinson confronted him with
evidence that he had two sisters in Boston,
he admitted that he had forgotten about
them. This was strange in view Of the
fact that the elder Wasserman had been
sending trunks to these sisters by express.
These trunks, according to Wasserman's
story, were always empty. a circumstance
explained by the alleged fact that the girls
were so busy making money that they
could not stop to buy trunks in Boston.
Several other witnesses were examined,
but told little not already learned. The
case now goes to the jury.
County Attorney Robinson appeared for
the sheriff. W. Fl. Looney, Esq, for the de-
fence, and judge Nathan Cleaves for the
insurance company.

PORTLAND'S DEFENCES.
A Petition to Congress to Make Special
Appropriation.

A petition was in circulation around the
city yesterday asking Mr. Reed and the
Senators to advocate in this Congress q
special Appropriation for Notifications for
this port. Better coast defenses are much
needed here. This harbor is among the
few finest harbors of the world. 1t not
only has commercial Importance; but
also military one, on account of its rail-
road connection with the Provinces, and
its nearness to the great military post OF
the British at Halifax. Whether a city In
Maine is likely to receive much considera-
ton from the present democratic House
may be matter of doubt; but it will do
no harm to try: G@

Testing a New snow PIow.

A party of prominent railway men, engi-
neers and capitalists, have just returned
from trip up the Quebec and Lake ST. John
Railway. Eight Americans from New York
Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago were on
the trip, the object being to test new snow
pillow which promises to revolutionize the
work of clearing tracks in winter The OBJ
ject In selecting this railway was because it
Is the only one on which snow can be found
at this season. The trackmen piled and
solidly packed the snow on the track many
feet in depth. One engine drove the pillow
through the track at twenty miles an hour,
and the snow was piled forty feet from the
track. the idea being to form an artificial
barrier to prevent further drifting. The
plow is built of shetland weighs eighteen
tons. 1t has one mold board and attacks the
snow from the bottom. 1t is understood to
be an American invention.

The secretary, Mr.. II. II. Emery made the

The close of another year in the history of
the Home, finds affairs in a most fiourishing
condition.
The daily routine has been pursued in the
same satisfactory manner as before and the
inmates are living witnesses to the care and
There has been no occasion for discipline.
but the guiding spirit pervading the family
has been that of brotherly love and content
ment.
Three men have been admitted during the
last II months and two have passed on to an.
other existence.
The matron and her husband, the house
physician and the ladies' committee have
been staunch allies and it is fully realized
now mucn the home Is indebted to their will
ing hands and watchful eyes.
This charity has not been forgotten by
those disposed to share their gains with 9TH
ers less fortunate than they, but there is
need OF increased resources to enlarge the
work and advance to greater usefulness.
Legacies to the amount of $500 have been
received, besides other gifts, all of which
have been most acceptable.
The secretary welcomes this opportunity
TO extend the thanks of the inmates as well
as the management to all who By word, act
or sign have added one ray of sunshine to
the life Of any within these walls. Many
are the deeds done daily which are unknown
save to the doer and the recipient, simple
kindnesses which are never publicly acknowl-
edged or enrolled on the book of donations:
but these constitute part of the unwritten

friends of the Guards.
The exercises opened about o'clock, with
tne drill by the company, about 26 men par
