Rev. Geo. E. Tufts in Italy.

Rev. Geo. E. Tufts writes from Rome,
Italy, under date of Aug. s, that he will be
at home sooner than he intended. He will
leave Liverpool Sept l for Montreal. Mr.
Tufts is delighted with Italy, and visited all
the principal points of interest in and about
Rome. He says he does from eight to ten
hours sightseeing daily. In note to the
Journal from Naples, Italy, under date Aug
9, Mr. Tufts says: ''My visit to Venice and
Florence, and other places has been of great
interest. But Rome, the home of the Caesars,
surpassed in interest all had hitherto seen
i'll Europe-either in England, Holland Bel

and the Coliseum alone would pay one to
make a visit to Rome, to say nothing of
many other historic ruins, and the art col
lections in the churches, museums, and pr
vate palaces. ! visited thirteen of the
churches to see the works of art. AS you
know, Rome was pa years a Kingdom, 213
years Republic, and until her fall in 475,
she was 800 years an Empire and during
most of this period one sees to-day even,
records of her past. But with all my inter
est in Rome my visit of three days to Naples,
Sorrento. Capri. Vesuvius, Herculaneum and
Pompeii, has far surpassed in interest all my
expectations. Nesuvius is sending forth no
fires just now, but only column Of smoke.

Pompeii, where excavations have been going

The campaign is on in Maine. All over
the State Republican rallies and flag rails
ings, Democratic ditto and ditto are the
order of the day and evening. Waldo
county does not appear to be in it, SO far
as the Republicans are concerned. The
Democrats are active, and the Peoples
Party have outlined vigorous campaign.
On the Republican side comparatively
nothing has been done, nor do we hear of
anything proposed in the way of educating
voters and bringing out the party strength.
The Republican county ticket is conceed-
ed on all sides to be an exceptionally good
one. The candidates are clean, able men,
well fitted for the respective positions for
which they were nominated. Their cleo
ton would be for the best interest of
Waldo county, and every man of them
should be elected. But the ticket will
not elect itself. Work must be done, and
election day is drawing near.

An Absconder and Alleged Forger.

Tuesday afternoon Sheriff Wadsworth
closed the gentlemens furnishing goods

interest of Walker, Stetson, Savage & Co.,

claim of the Boston parties is 500, and that
of Mr.. Hilton about $50. The stock in the
store isl estimated at from 81 900 to 81 200.

good salesman and a competent man. He
married the daughter of Levi Seekins, of
Swanvilie. His partner, Walter Seekins, is
brother-n-law, who was formerly a stone
cutter, and who by economy had saved up
considerable money. When the co-partner-
ship was formed, Seekins put in 81 900 while
Robertson put his experience. against his
partners capital.
Tuesday, Aug. 10th. Mr.. Robertson asked
his wife to remain in the store, as he wished
to 60 fishing for the day. She went and re-
manned at the place OF business until mid

A cable dispatch to the New York Herald
announces the suicide at Morleys Hotel,
London, Saturday night, of General Prince,
o3 years, retired American army officer.
This is supposed to be Brigadier General
Henry Prince, who was born in 1911 at East
port, Me-, and was one of the most gallant
officers of the Mexican War and the War of
the Rebellion. He graduated at West Point
in 1885, and was rapidly promoted for BRAY
cry. He was retired with pension of $4,000
per year and was considered quite wealthy,
so money troubles could not have driven
him to suicide He went to England short
ly after his retirement, and had been living
there on the interest of his money.
In 1S47 Gen. Prince was appointed to the
Pay Department, with the rank of Major
and assigned to duty in Texas, where the
writer, relative, joined him later as clerk,
afterwards accompanying Gen. Prince across

The Burglar Scare i'll Belfast.

The robberies last week aroused all Bel
fast and every one expected call from the
burglars. All strange persons seen or noises
heard We're burglars, sure. The long-haired
medicine vendors about our streets We're
suspected, especially when it was learned
that they left the next morning after the
robberes at Mr.. Sibleys and Mr.. Burkett's
houses. Six extra policemen We're put on,
making eight night watchmen. Private
watchmen were hired to guard certain resi-
dences. Carpenters were kept busy putting
on extra locks and bolts, and hardware deal
ers reaped a benefit. Thursday morning
Mr. H. l.. Woodcock's horse was missing,
which added to the scare. The night before
Mr.. Woodcock left his horse standing for a
few minutes in front of the Savings Bank
building, when it was either stolen or stray
ed away The animal was found in Sears
port. Wednesday evening Mr.. Fred Cottrell
Went to his home on High street and could
not open the door of his sleeping room, The
house was unoccupied, and he felt sure the
burglars We're there. An alarm was given,
and the policemen and several hundred citi-
was shouted on all sides. The house was
searched, but no one was found. Thursday
night Mr.. Jipson says he saw dark lantern
flashed near the house of Mr.. A. d. Chase
When near the house the light was put out
and the parties fled. Near the same house a
noise was heard and a man was pulled in by
the night watch. 1t was commercial travel
F,,,, Ia,
lookup and then liberated. The people at
Mrs. w. II. Burril's, on Church street, We're
awakened one night last week, and thought
they heard some one trying to open the
screen door. A lamp was lighted when a
team was heard to drive away from the front
of the house. The two men, mentioned last
week as canvassing for the Youths Com
panion, We're gentlemen in legitimate bust
ness soliciting for that we'll known pubica-
ton. They had a hearty laugh when they
read that they We're objects of suspicion.
Some ludicrous things have taken place
caused by the burglar scare. In one house
hold the lady members could not sleep until
the man got up and sat by the bedside with
a loaded revolver in his hand. At another
house all the inmates slept in a field bed
made up on the floor. One man who had
been out late thought he would come in
quietly at the back door, 50 as not to arouse
the inmates. He unlocked the door and
quietly pushed it open when he was nearly
frightened out of his wits by the chatter and
din of falling tin pans and chairs. The fam
lily thought burglar was coming and sent
up shout. 1t was some time before quiet
was restored and explanations made The
family had set a burglar trap and the ttnslls-
pecting man had fallen into it.
There are several theories in regard to the
burglars. Every one believes they belong
to gang that is going up and down the
State. Some think they remain hiding in
tile woods during the daytime. Some think
they come by water in yachts and boats,
while others think they may I've at Northport.
