which stands for all that is dearest

The January issue of The Engin-

New York's famous thoroughfare,
Broadway. has been the scene of
some wonderful events. But the
one scene which still stands as the
most remarkable. in point of enthu-
siasm, is Louis Kossuth's famous
ride up Broadway in 1851. Kossuth
had already seen and passed through
crowd of 100000 people in his
triumphal ride up the great thor.
oughfare. The eliminating mo-
ment. however, occurred when the
great Hungarian patriot reached the
corner OF Broadway and Ann street.
The sight that burst upon him stag
gered him for the moment. In the
open square directly before him was
massed together q quarter of a mil.
lion people, and when this vast con.
course broke into q united cheer Kos.
suth was fairly bewildered. No mar

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Wonderful Recovery Of Daughter by Robert r.
Damren Of Oakland.

Oakland, Oct. 17.-Robert r. Damren
has recently recovered in remarkable
manner his daughter. Alice Maud Dam
rem, whom he lost in the fall of 1876 when
she was years old.
Mr.. Damren was then a brakeman on
the night freight between Skowhegan and
Portland. He left home for his work one
night and did not return on account of
his labors for two weeks. He asked his
him that Mrs. Phlpot of Norridgewock
had taken her home for few days for Il
visit Mrs. PhilpOt had recently lost a
little girl and took a fancy to Mr.. DAM
ren's daughter.
Mrs. Damren was taken down with the
diphtheria the next day and the child
was not sent for. The mother was sick
for two weeks and then Mr.. Damren was
stricken, and for a week his life hung in
the balance. 1t was six weeks from the
time little Alice had left home that he
was able to be out. When he went after
his little girl, however. he found that
Mrs. Philpot had disappeared from Nor
ridgewock, taking the child with her. and
until this summer he never found any
trace of the woman or child, though
every possible effort was made.
One day last August Mr.. Damren was
fishing with friend at Ellis pond and
happened to ask Fred Harding of Sid
ney If ever knew man at NOrrdgewOck
named Philpot. Mr.. Harding replied that
name who went to Portland and married
a man named Wormell. A little further
inquiry convinced Mr.. Damren that this
was the woman who had taken his
daughter.
A strange coincidence in the case is
that at about the time Harding gave
Damren the information about Mrs. Phil
pot, Maud. in some way, learned that
WOrmell was not her father, and made
up her mind to search out her real par
ent. She said nothing about her plans,
but went up to Waterville, where a
brother of Wormell lived. He knew
something of the case, and directed her
to Mr.. Damren, with whom he used to
work on the railroad.
Mr.. Damren was away when she ar
rived, but the Fosters with whom he
lived made her welcome and prepared
surprise for her fathers return. When
he arrived they ushered him into a room
where the girl was.
The girl remained with her father for
several days, and then returned to
Waterville the last of the month, and
there met the only one of her four
brothers she has ever seen to know
She has not been living with Mrs
Wormell for some time, but is clerk in
a store in Portland.

Immediately after her going to Portland

tracing her after she left Norrdgewock

Stolen Goods Recovered.
Trunk Containing $25oo in Securi-

Trunk and Contents Intact Found Where
Burglar Had Secreted Them.

Manchester, Me-, Oct. 17.-(SpeciaD.-
A bold burglary took place in this
town, Saturday morning, when un-
known parties entered the dwelling of
containing papers and securities val
ued at about $25OO.
Mr. Collins lives about mile east of
the Outlet, in the direction of Hallowell.
The stolen property was in hair COW
cred trunk in closet under the stairs
near Mr.. Collins room, and at about
3.15, Saturday morning, Mrs. Collins
was awakened by an unusual noise and
saw a man going out of the room car
rying the trunk. She tried to awaken
Mr.. Collins, but as he is somewhat
deaf the burglar escaped before Mr.
Collins got out
The burglar had entered the stable,
taken ladder and placed it at a Sc
cond-story window, where he entered.
He then went down stairs and opened
and fastened back the outside door,
so that he had an easy means of es-
cape.

notified, and with City Marshal Hen
derson, visited the place, Saturday.
Mr.. True directed that a careful search
be made in the vicinity of the house.
thinking that as the burglar so mar
rowly escaped, he would not carry the
trunk a great distance on account of
it's size, but would probably secret it
and later return for it.
Mr.. Collins son and young man
who works there, named Clark, CON-
menced the search, and today We're
rewarded by finding the trunk hidden
behind a stone wall with none of its
contents missing.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
What Military Authority Has TO Say About
Names Troops and Facilities.

Portland, Oct. 17.-(Special.) 1.-The field
day of Company M, 1st Regiment. at
Westbrook, took place Saturday. The
field day of the Portland battalion will
take place Friday afternoon, the 22d. On
Thursday night of last week Capt. Nor
ton made an informal talk before the Of
ficers of the Portland battalion in their
armory on advance guards and outposts.
The work to be performed on the coming
field day was fully explained. and the
simplicity of it all was apparent to ev-
erybOdy.
The work that the guard will undertake
this fall must be performed without pay
as the State appropriation is too small to
allow any extra expenditure. A well
known military man said to the correspon-
dent yesterday: ut is hoped, that when
the Legislature is made acquainted with
the great desire of the troops to go into
practical work, and do something more
than execute company drills and paradcs.
they will second the movement with the
necessary funds. Massachusetts has for
many years not only had fall field day
for it's troops, under pay, but has cOncen-
trated the regiments for the purpose. The
effect has been to make the Massachu-
sets guard almost the most efficient in
the United States.
Nearly one-fifth of the Maine guard
is located in Portland. and in considera-
ton of this fact the city government built
the best armOry in the State. But appar-
emily the city has become afraid that its
policy had been too liberal, for this year
it has leased the armory so as to de-
prive the guard of it's use for nearly two
months, and those the most important
months in the year. In the late spring
when the companies were drilling hard
for camp, Mr.. Atkinson's fair had possess
sion of the drill hall for a month. and
now the musical festival, with the cree
ton and taking down of seats and gal
leries incident thereto, will stop drills
during October. This is very discourage
ing to the companies. In addition to los
ing two of the best months in the year,
company can never begin. after a
months cessati of work, in the same
condition as it was when it left off.
"Armories throughout the State are i'm
proving, but several are unfit for use
The one in Lewiston is wholly unfit for
the use of troops, and a new one should
be erected by the city.
1.-The National Guard of the United
States now numbers nearly 10000 men,
armed, equipped and disciplined hun
dred fold better than the militia of twen-
ty years ago. 1t would not take many
in case of war. Increase in efficiency is
very apparent every year. and the war
department is taking such interest in the
matter that it has established special
bureau at Washington to look after
guard matters, and has detailed a reg
ular officer to every state which makes
application. Nearly every state has a
representative of the army at headquar-
ters, and fully a hundred additional Off
GERS were detailed last summer to attend
encampments."

SCUDDED FOR A HARBOR.
Schooner Belle Wooster in Distress In Boston
har5or-Cause Of chicago's Delay.

Boston. Oct. 17.-Captain Kemp of the
tug Nesta, reports speaking the schooner
Belle Wooster in the bay this morning.
She is bound from Norfolk for this port
and has lost her mizzentopmast. She
was working in the bay against a stiff
northwesterly gale and under reefed sails
and fetched between Harding and Minots

Boston light and the lightship. Later in
the day the Vesta ran out in the bay
but could not find the schooner. Captain
Kemp is of the opinion that she parted
her chain and scudded before the gale
for harbor at Provinchetown.
The Wilson Line steamer Chica-
go came into port. this after
noon, and Captain Hadaway reports
that the delay in her arrival was due to
