BURGLARS At OAKLAND.
The Gang Still at Work-Two Grocery Stores
Entered Wednesday Night.

OAKLAND, July Especial. Oak
lands gang Of burglars have apparently
completed their vacation and have settled
themselves once more to solid work.
Wednesday night the grocery store of Nor
rison Libby was entered and about So in
money was taken. An entrance was ef-
fected by breaking out large square of
glass in the front door. The safe
was unlocked, but the burglars over.
hauled it, broke open the till and
scattered the papers about the room.
Several watermelons were cut open and
several pieces we're partly eaten, while the
rest was scattered around on the floor. The
same night the grocery store of Mr.. A. C.
Taylor was entered by means Of window
and about S4 and some provisions were
taken. e =
Wednesday forenoon, tramp who had
been drinking, came into Mr.. Libby's store
and called for some crackers and cheese
These were given to him, ard he started to
leave the store without paying for them,
but was forced to return the food. 1t is
thought by many that man was concerned
in the robbery. The officers are on hi,
track, and it is probable that he will be un-
der arrest in a short time.

CYCLONE At SKOaHEGaN.
Church spire Toppled Over-GIass Smashed
Crops Badly Damaged.

SKowHEGAS, July Especial. "A
terrific wind and rain storm struck this viii
lage at o'clock last evening, following the
course of the river. The spire of the Con-
gregational church, on Island avenue, was
blown completely of. The spire appar-
emily passed over the top of a large maple
tree and struck on its point or upper end
on the curbing of the sidewalk, making
quite depression in the solid earth. |,
then ended over and fell across the street,
completely blocking the passage. In its
descent the spire encountered the network
| of electric wires on the south side Of Island
avenue and wrecked them for some dis.
lance, several of the poles being broker
| completely of.
This is the third time that the Congrega.
tional spire has been injured in an electric
storm. When it was be ing built lightning
struck and split it. A few years since il
was again struck and partially burned
this time it was blown off bodily and a,
clean as though ii had been done with a
huge saw.
A large plate glass window in the store
of Mrs. Hussey, near the church, was de.
| molished, either by the wind or some flying
object.
One gentleman who started for home at
the storm struck, met large dry goods box
bowling merrily along down Water street.
Many nice shade trees in different parts OF
the village were blown down, and the
| streets and lawns in all directions were lit.
tered with limbs of trees and other debris
The storm was seen for long time be-

IN A LIVE WIRE.
supi. Brann Il W. & r. Road Has Narrow Es
cape from Horrible Death.

FAIRFIELD, July 26.-[Special. )-Supt.
P. NJ. Brann of the Waterville & Fairfield
Electric Road, had close call from hor-
rible death, tonight. As the last special
car from the races was passing the stables,
Mr.. Brann, who was acting as motorman,
left the car to 90 to the stable for some
purpose.
The electric light wire, which furnishes
light in the stables, in some manner had
become grounded" and the rails
in the stable, as well as the
floor, which was wet, had become
very heavily charged. Mr.. Brann probably
thought the light was turned off and going
to the place was intending to turn it on, but
instead he became entangled in the wires
and was thrown to the floor, with the wire
passing over his body, receiving the full
voltage on the wire.
Conductor Whitman and Mr.. Brann's son
Ralph, who ran from the car on hearing his
cries, succeeded in throwing off the wire,
but were quite severely shocked and burned
in doing so. Mr.. Brann was considerably
injured but will recover.
