 Burglary at the Passenger Station.
 The ticket office at the passenger sta- tion was entered about o'clock p. m. on Tuesday, and $12O.75 in money and a number of checks stolen. Station Agent Bumstead was at supper at the time, and MT. Green, his assistant, had brought up about $20 from the freight station, in a canvass bag, which he had placed within the safe. He then locked the office and left. About the same time that Mr. Green left the station commercial traveller left Kane's restaurant and went directly to the passenger station and sat there un- til the return of MT. Bumstead. It is therefore made certain that the station was not left alone over fifteen minutes, probably less than ten. During this time some person or persons had forced the door of the ticket office by inserting a bar, and entering had forced the lock of the ticket rack, within which was the money drawer, which they rif1ed, also had taken the canvass bag of money from the safe, which was not locked, and escaped. The work was evidently that of those used to the business. During the whole time the office windows were uncurtained and light burning. No trace of the rob- bers is as yet found.
 About noon on Tuesday the South bridge depot was entered in a similar manner, and over $200 in cash stolen. Ii is not unlikely that the same parties did the job at Stafford Springs. Two men took the boat train south on Tuesday eve ming without having bought tickets, which circumstance has excited suspicion, but ii seems unlikely that the robbers would have chosen that dangerous mode of get. ting away.
