improved Railroad Equipment Illustrated

In the State raj road commissioners de-
partmen. at the State House are four
pictures which show thu progress made in
railroad rolling stock in Maine since 1886,
One picture presents the appearance OF the
first engine vs. ich was run il 1886. 1t weighed
% .0C0 pounds ami was not very attractive
in comparison with the huge Iron horse"
used today. The smoke-stsck lowered up
very prominently and was much larger til IN
the ones used at the present time. One of
the other pictures was of the engine of the
NJ. C. r. R., of 1898, which weighs 49,
600 lbs. The old railroad bridge crossing
the Kennebec river over 30 years ago was
one of the pictures. A train of cars was upon
the bridge when the picture was taken.
The fourth was picture of the bridge as it
appears today with one of tue elegant YES
tibued trains upon it. The contrast in
these pictures is striking and the improve
ment in rolling stock can be appreciated by
comparison of these pictures.

'SLUGGED AND ROBBED.
ALERT RBpMAN KNOCKED SESSELESS EARLY
YESTERDAY MORNING,
And Then Robbed Of Six or Seven Dollars-TU,
Men Beat Up Their Wivss-Arr.ss
by the Police

Yesterday morning shortly after mid.
night while Mr.. Al. Redman, of Eas.
Wheeling, was crossing alley c, on
Twentieth street, Immediately in the
rear OF the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION property, he was attacked BY
two men who came out OF the mouth Of
the alley behind him. One Of the men
struck Mr.. Redman a terrible blow on
the hack OF the head, using some weapon
which produced a sand-bag effect, and
the victim sank 10 the pavement In al
unconscious condition. The men then
went through Mr.. Redman's pockets,
abopt seven dollars ia cash being taken,
with which the highwaymen made good
their escape.
Mr.. Redman revived In short time,
and succeeded in reaching his home,
from which place the police were notI-
fed of the assault, and officers made
close search OF the locality, but to no
nnrpose. Officer Moran had passed the
mouth OF the alley short time before
Mr.. Redman came along, and saw two
men standing in the alley, but paid no
particular attention TO them. There
seems 10 be no clue to the Identity Of
the scoundrels.

A SCHEME Or PLUMBER
WHICH HAD BEEN ORIGINATED AND PUT N
OPERATION
By Colorsd Servant in Private Rssidsncs-How
hattie Young Betrayed the Trust
RspOssi in Ger.

Friday night about II o'clock, Mr.
George Bell, who resides with his fam
lily in the former Shallcross residence.
on Ninth street. sent word TO police
headquarters that the house had been
robbed OF quantity OF valuable ladies
wearing apparel.
Lieutenant Gaus went up yesterday
morning and fou nd that four or five
trunks belonging TO the ladies of the
household and stored in the
attic had been broken open. and thai
several dresses aud a quantity of other
clothing was missing. A short search
showed that several bundles OF dresse:
and clothing had also been made up &c
be carried off. but were still In the
building.
The Lieutenant made inquiries about
the servants, ETC., and was not long Ia
coming 10 the conclusion that a coiored
girl named Matte Young, who had only
been given place last Tuesday, wa:
responsible for the theft, and that the
presence of the bundles OF clothing
showed purpose on her part 10 carry
of the contents OF all the trunks, they
containing goods TO the value of several
hundred dollars. He also ascertained
that Mattie's home was in the West
End of Bridgeport. and that she had
been out there Friday night.
The Lieutenant questioned the girl
but she was not disposed TO admit the
truth OF the suspicious around. She
was accordingly taken to the City Hall
and locked up. After she had thought
over the situation she changed her
mind. however, and made full and
complete confession, stating that she
had aScertained the trunks were full
of clothing, including fine dresses and
had broken them open. She selected
what she wanted and made the
goods up into bundles, intending
to remove them at her leisure. She
said she had taken two bundles,
including two fine dresses and other
garments, 10 the value OF $40 or $50, 10
Bridgeport. A visit by the police to her
former home resulted in the discovery
of these goods, and they were returned
TO the owners.
Matte was left behind the bars at the
City Hall until about ten o'clock last
night, when, as Mr.. Bell did not desire
to prosecute her, she was allowed to go.
II is probable that as soon as the girl
had gotten the contents of the trunk
out of the house, she would have lief;
herself, aud the robbery would likely
have remained a mystery.

Zone of the most charming and sue

voice is a pure soprano OF exquisite
quality, ana she sings like an artist.
Her endurance, and the apparent ease
with which she sings, and her perfect
breath control and ability TO spin out
the tones GLARE la Uoce) as the Italians
call il, TO q pianissimo, are qualities OF
excellence rarely heard in young sing
ers, and upon which Miss Clifford de-
serves warm congratulations, because
so few have patience TO acquire them.

THE CASUALTY RECORD.
TheAooidents R9portsi From About the
City Yesterday


City Yesterday
Yesterday morning, on South Main
street, a man, evidently stranger in
the city, met with an accident and
made a very narrow escape with his
life. One of the street cars was going
down the street at a rapid rate OF speed.
The man was beside the tracks and not
at a street corner. He gesticulated
wildly to the motorman to go on, signi-
tying that be could get aboard while
the car moved. He made the attempt
at the front end OF the car and was
thrown face downwards in under the
stepping board OF the motor. Had he
been thrown few inches farther he
would have been run over by the
wheels. AS the result he was painfully
bruised about the face and body.
Il. Il. Boord. one OF the best known
among the brakemen in the b. 81 q.
yards of this city, suffered a very pain
full accident yesterday morning about 9
o'clock. He was at work with one OF
the tall switches in the yard. He did
not get it fully turned when the train
came along. The lever was struck
sending il with great force against Mr..
Boord. He was struck by the iron on
the side of the head, cutting a cash TO
the bone OF nearly five inches in length.
The injury is a very painful one.
