No News of the Buggy.

J. II. Blake has heard nothing regard
ing the buggy stolen from in front of his
Office. The police are doing their best to
find the missing buggy, but the trouble
is that:there issno description of the thief.
While several persons saw him drive up,
hitch the buggy behind his wagon and
drive of, no one noticed him enough to
be able to describe him. 1t certainly was
very bold operation, and oneH that is
puzzling the police. Marshal Trickey has
the case in hand. and hopes to yet find
the stolen buggy, and to bring the thief
to justice.

City ASSESSOR Lefavor says that the as
SCISSORS have finished taking the census of
Wards 2, and 6, and it amounts to IS,
600. These are among the smaller wards,
ana if the same rate Of increase continues
in the other wards the census will show q
grand total of $4,000.
The taking Of the census is resulting in
large increase of noll taxes. From the
increase already shown in the above three
wards it is probable that the total census
will show an increase of 1900 poll taxes.
This will more than pay the expense of
taking the census SO that it will really
be an income instead Of an out go to the

THE CROMWELLsS CRUISE.
Brought Sugar From the Island of
Rebellion.

Detained Two Months with Is Other Yes
sels-Three Stowaways-she Is a Port
land Vessel.
The large three-masted schooner, the
Benjamin Cromwell, which arrived here
few days since fromlNew York with a
cargo OF clay for the Portland Stoneware
Company. met with very hard win
ter's trip to the island Cuba and on the
return voyage from that island with
cargo OF sugar, encountered serious gales
which lasted for six days and were the
most severe of any ever before expert
enced by the schooner's captain. The
commander of this vessel is Capt. Mo-
Learn, who was found at his home near
Town House Corner in Cape Elizabeth
yesterday by a PRESS reporter. The
captain is most pleasant gentleman
and willingly told the details of his
Cuban voyage. The Benjamin Orom-
well took out cargo Of GOAL for Oien-
fuegos from Philadelphia about the mid
die Of November. While loading at the
Philadelphia docks the vessel was
watched day and night by the United
no contraband articles were struggled
on board. When the loading was COM
pleted the vessel was detained some time
until she had been carefully searched by
the custom house officers and later when
on her way to sea was stopped and
in u nfA n
nue. cutter. The voyage down was ex-
tremely rough and five Spanish men-o'-
war were encountered before Cienfuegos
was reached. In Cuba the Cromwell was
detained from December 5 to February is
until enough sugar had been ground for
her cargo. The planters were afraid to
grind the sugar cane contrary to Gen.
Maoeo's orders and this accustomed the
delay. Capt. MoLearn saw little of the
revolution, but thinks the Cubans will
be successful in the end.
The Cromwell left Cienfuegos on Feb
ruary 16 and had reached as far north as
Hatteras when the terrific gales which
lasted six days were met with. Capt
McLearn never expected to get his ship
through safely, but he did, although
he was driven as far south as the Ber-
mudas where he put in to reft on March
8. There were IS American vessels in
the Bermudas at this time, all driven
In by fierce weather and some Of them
badly damaged. The Cromwell was in
jured slightly, had several sails blown
away, but came through the storm In
much better condition than the other
American ships.
When the Cromwell finally sailed from
Bermuda and had been at sea "a hours,
three stowaways made their appearance
on deck. They had been hiding in the
schooners'S hold for two days and were
half starved. Capt MoLearn fed the
men, who turned out to be deserters
from the English army, and when he
reached New York turned them over to
the immigrant officials on Ellis island.
Tie captain was finally obliged to pay
the mems passage back to the Bermudas
and pay their board while they were
detained at Ellis island. This was his
reward for obeying the immigration
laws.
The Cromwell is Portland vessel and
had several men from this city as mem
bers of her crew.
