THE STAPLES BURGLARY.
Exposure of the Record of Simpson, the
Peddler, Puts New Face on the Case
Against Kneeland.

The discovery that Simpson, the
peddler," is James Eastman, man with
criminal record, will probably have
an adverse effect upon the case against
Oliver Kneeland of South WATERFORD,
who has been lying in York county Jail.
Kneelandss was arrested for completely in
the robbery of the Staples brothers, of
Limerick. The main testimony against
him is that of Eastman, who has claimed
that just after the robbery ne came upon
Kneeland and another man in converse
tion in the woods near the Staples
house, and overheard enough of their
conversation to ascertain that they had
been concerned in some such work.
The exposure of his record will
probably destroy the value of Eastman S
testimony. He, himself, must have been
in the vicinity of the Staples house at the
time of the burglary; and he may have
to explain what he was doing.
Eastman is now held to appear in the
United States court tomorrow to answer
to the charge of robbery of the Cornish
post Office in 1889.

Miss Agnes Mabel Stafford, the talented
young elocutionist of Deering, was in

some more patriotic airs. Miss Stafford.
dressed very prettily and simply in a
light blue gown, was introduced to recite
a poetical eulogy, written for the occa-
sion by Clara Marcelle Green, of this
city Truth again compels the statement
that both Grover Cleveland and Andrew
Jackson were far in the rear in the mat

Miss Stafford, who was received cordially
and followed from the stage with most
enthusiastic applause. Miss Stafford,
however, did not respond to the long
continued demand for u repetition of her
Shepard of Boston, was introduced to
give little political twist. He recalled
in passage of dazzling word painting
how the "Assyrlan came down like d
wolf on the fold," with "his cohorts
cleaning in silver and gold" but were
subsequently put utterly to fight. just
this he said, happened to the Republi-
cans in Novem Der 1892. Mr.. Shepard then
treated the audience to asstump speech
on the tariff. evidently one that he had
saved out of the general wreck in Massa-
chusetts' last November.
Hon. VIM. H. Clifford, D. J. McGilli-

The proceedings having arrived thus
far, Mr.. Sweetsir, who had been sitting
with Il broad smile of contentment on
his face. was called on to give the
Christian names of Portland men who
have been named for Andrew Jackson.
Mr.. Sweetsir began with an elaborate
three-decked joke about the Repu blicans
went ON to say that he had hunted
through the the directory and had found
nineteen men who were named for Jack
son. He had called on every one of them
and it wassquite job, as they do not
all live in one house." said Mr.. Sweetsir.
But it seems that all of these men but
two straightway besiegedsthess investiga-
tot with prayers that their names be
not made public. Mr.. Sweetsir had
designated them by numbers and pro-
ceeded to give biography of Nos.1, 2, 3,

money was expected. But from intelli-
