THE LIMERICK ROBBERY.
Warrants.Issued for the Arrest of sus-
Pected Parties.

Biddeford, September 26.-The robbery
the main topic of conversation in Liner
ick, and although the excitement over it
is abating, interest is by no means de-
creasing and every effort is being made to
trace the thieves.
Suspicion points pretty plainly now to
taken out for their arrest, will be served
should they attempt to leave town.
These men live not far from the scene
of the robbery, and, although little evil
dence has SO far been secured, there are
some circumstances which lead the
officers to keep close watch of these
men. They are Swallowed night and day,
and unless they have confederates, it will
be impossible for them to dispose of their
they are the ones that did the job.
Although these men are suspected by
some there are others who do not believe
they would have dared to do the job and
then remain quietly in the vicinity. The
detective from Portland who has been
employed in the case, is understood to be
following up another clue.
Besides all this itsAs limited by some
that the Staples were robbed by some of
their poor relations, who had got tired of
waiting for the old men to die and leave
them the money.
There was about $4,000 in the chest
which the robbers, whoever they were,
did not get. This belonged to Humphrey,
the brother that sold his interest in the
of selling the farm that he had more
ready money than did his two brothers,
Henry and Nathaniel. OF the SO, 900 that
was taken, about $1,000 belonged to
Humphrey, while the rest belonged about
equally to the other two. The $4,000
which was not taken was nearly all in
bills, nailed up in a tobacco box. About
gold and was contained in the old coffee
pot, which has been mentioned in
previous accounts. Humphrey was the
only brother who had had any money in
the Limington bank recently and all
that he had there was $1,000. This he had
Withdrawn just previous to the robbery.
1t had been common town talk in Linn
ington for years that the brothers had
large sums OF money boarded in their
house and some reports even set the
amount as high as $50, 900 or $40, 900. The
only wonder is that they were not ro bbed
years ago. Much as the brothers love
money they love life more and they have
congratulated themselves that they did
not appear upon the scene during the
robDery, as Iney Delleve 6naG bhey would
surely have been killed. The selectmen
have not yet offered any reward for the
capture of the thief, but the brothers
stand ready to give 81 900.
While it has been known for years that
the brothers were rich, they have in
variably refused to lend money to any
body, and have always answered that
they did not have a cent in the house.
The only time that they were ever known
to lend any money was once when they
let the town have $1,000 for ten years.

London, September 2s.-The Times,
commenting upon Gladstone's speech at
Edinburg last evening, says the prime
minister's Indictment of the House of

audacious assumptions, and his conclu-
sion is as lame and impotent as any

ridiculous diatribe against the peers.
The Daily News says that in the alb
sence of definite proposals dealing with
the claims of the House of Lords, Glad

journals as sign of weakness, but no
body expected such suggestions from the
premier. The time for such extension of
the struggle has not yet come. The
position of the government is too strong
for violent measures to be needed.
The Daily Chronicle says Gladstone
never made a speech which more fully
responded to public expectation. He

Why does not man weigh pound
more Immediately after eating pound
weight of food? A little reflection will
readily explain this apparent mystery.
During the process of mastication, de-
glutition, etc., certain muscles are
brought into active play, and the exer-
else of any muscle necessitates tempo
rary waste of its tissues, and a certain
amount of carbon is eliminated and
passed off during the course of the meal.
This loss, however, is trifing as com
pared with that due to respiration and
perspiration, both of which are increased
during the various operations of making
a meal.
