When Agent c. B. Taylor opened the Newtown station, on Wednesday morn ing, he found it had been visited by burg lars during the night. Entrance was et fected through the north window of the ticket office. One of the large panes of glass was shattered, enabling them to remove the window fastenings.

 There was an error in the statement of last week, that the Nettleton monu- ment was unlOaded distance from the site, there to wait until the ground be- came frozen, to be able to haul it the remainder of the way. The stones were taken to their destina tion at the time, but owing to the soft ground it required a long time to haul them across the grass ground back of the Episcopal church and through the cemetery drive.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
SPECIAL TO THE BEE.

H. F. Warks of Readfield, Me-, travelling salesman for a hardware house dealing in scythes, etc., was killed at the upper crossing at Kent Furnace by the S,4S train from Kent. He had just visited c. R. Bulls store, made his deal and was driving north across the track. It appears that he did not hear the train until it was almost upon him. Then he was seen to stand up in his wagon, whip in hand, but it was too late. The engine struck the wagon, badly demolishing it, and threw him headlong from the wagon. It did not strike him, but the fall on the hard ground caused such severe con- cussion of the brain that he died in a few minutes after he was picked up. The body was carried to T. Golfers un- dertaking rooms and awaits word from the family. It is understood that he leaves wite and a family of children at his home in Maine.
