STOLE HER EMPLOYERS MONEY.
Westbrook Domestic Arrested Aboard
South Portland Fishing Schooner for
Larceny.

Constable Craig of South Portland
brought into the police. station last eve
ming a woman by the name of Kate
Mitchell, whom he had arrested on board
a fishing schooner, where she was stop
ping with a man by the name of Dyer.
Up to last Friday the Mitchell woman
was employed as domestic in the home
of Robert H. Putnam of Westbrook. On
that day she disappeared and with her
vanished s82 in money belonging to Mr..
Putnam. Mr.. Putnam first discovered
his loss when he visited Portland, to have
horse shod, and preparing to pay for it
found he had no wallet. He remembered
leaving it under his pillow in his Sleep
ing room and he returned home after it.
The calf-skin wasn't there, though.
neither was Miss Mitchell. Later the wal
let was found in the water closet, but if
was empty.
The Portland police were informed of
the. case, but the department failed to get
any trace of the woman until she was
finally located on board the fishing
schooner with Dyer. No money was
found on her person, but it is said that
she and Dyer have appeared to have plen-
ty the last few days and have been cele-
brating in manner not altogether mild
The woman will be taken to Westbroolx
today and arraigned in the municipal
court in that city.

If England were able, as she might be,
to take the initiative promptly and send a
powerful military and naval. expedition
from Halifax or st. John directly against
Portland, the capture of that city would
give her all the advantages that could be
gained by marching across the state. The
city would be at once fortified along the
land side by the capture and supplied
from the sea. 1t would furnish a con-
venient base for operations along the
New England coast, which would annoy
us and distract our attention from more
important operations. 1t might, also, en-
able the British to keep open communiea-
ton with Montreal and Quebec. More
over, it is evident at glance that the
occupation of Portland by the British
would protect the eastern provinces from
invasion, for if such invasion We've under
taken they could cut our line of supply
and attack our army in the rear. In such
case it would be necessary, either to re-
capture Portland or leave sufficient troops
near it to keep the British inside.
The great object of a British invasion
of Maine, however, would be to distract
our attention from the region of the St.
Lawrence. A successful invasion of the
state, especially if accompanied by an
ton to the British dominion, would SO
arouse popular indignation throughout
the country that the demand for the re-
covery of Maine would be even more
powerful than that for the protection Of
Washington when the Confederates turned
their faces northward.

Galtee More Wins English Derby.

EPSON, Eng, June 2.-The expecta.
ton of a big crowd at the jubilee Derby
were not fulfilled. The sky was of a
dull, threatening gray and the atmosphere
was heavy and damp.
Then the fact that the race was regard
ed as being a certainty for Mr.. J. Cub
bins's brown colt Galtee More, doubtless
kept many people away. The course was
about one mile and half long. The re-
suit is as follows:
Mr.. j Gubbins's Galtee More, by Ken
dial, out of Morganette, Won
Lord Roseberry's Valasque, by Dono-
van, out of Vista, second.
Mr.. J. Simons Harrison's History, by
Hampton, out of Isabelle, third.
Galtee More is the first horse bred in
Ireland and owned by an Irishman which
has won the Derby, and the merits of the
colt can be better gathered when it is
remembered that Galtee More also won
the New Market stakes and the 1000
guineas this year. In the latter event, as
today, Lord Roseberry's Velasquez ran
second to Gait ZEE More.

1t seems clear then, that at the outbreak
of war, or sooner, large and effective
army should be assembled by us on or
near the eastern frontier of the state. All
harbors along the coast, from Portland to
Eastport, should be strongly fortified; not
only to prevent seizure of the ports them
selves, but also to protect the line of sup
ply of this army from attack on the sea
ward side aAsl
Whether the army moves forward Into
New Brunswick, raids upon the New
Brunswick railroads should be persistent
ly made. with the object of completely
stopping land communication between
the province of Quebec on one hand and
that of Nova Scotia on the ether.
We have seen what an immense ad-
vantage the enemy would derive from the
capture of Portland. The government,
fully aware of that fact, is now fortlfying

keep an eneny's shells from reaching the
city, and containing disappearing guns of
heavy calibre. Mortar batteries and
torpedoes will defend the channels. When
finished the defenses will be well nigh
impregnable from the seaward side. II

be constructed on the land side, to guard
against capture from la nding parties.
