today, by the arrest of w. A. Suther-

Of robbing Worth's bicycle store.
The prisoners had, sometime during
the night entered the residences Of
Charles Whittemore and Mrs. Fl. 3.
Ross by means of skeleton keys and
had packed up about 5000 worth of
bric-a-b rac, but had not removed it,
intending to later return. The robbers
entersd the bicycle store by the rear
window ard had breakfast on some
bologna sausage and tonic just before
they were captured.
The reason why the catch is a big
one Is that the men are thought to b..
the Sutherland brothers, who have
worked New York city, and are sup
posed to be the men who stole Anna
Gould's diamonds some time ago. The
men came from Boston, last night, ID
Wareham and walked from there 10

ton, however, by State Officers Rhoadcs

INVESTIGATING THE FIRE.
Biddeiord and State Officials Looking Into
Suspicious Blaze Of Monday Night.

Old Orchard, Oct. 1.-THE selectmen, as
sisted by State Insurance Commissioner
S. w. Carr and County Attorney En-
MONS have been conducting an investi-
cation into the mysterious fire which oc-
Cured in the grocery store of G. L. Hyde
& Co, last Monday night.
The testimony showed that deliberate
attempt had been made to burn the
store. a fire being started near an open
oil tank containing 400 gallons of kero-
sene. Several pieces of cloth were found
hanging over the edge of the tank.
There were also several empty gasOlene
barrels near the tank. When the smoke
was discovered. the fire had burned itself
out within two inches of the oil tank.
Investigation on the store floor above
showed that the Industrious firebug had
not confined his operations entirely to the
the kerosene pump over the tank several
feet long and two to three feet in width
had been thoroughly saturated with kero-
sene, forming puddles of oil where the
door sagged. With all this fiendish care
taken to destroy property and life pos
sbly, it was little short of miraculous
that a destructive conf1agration did not
occur.
Four families were asleep within 100
feet of the incendaries' torch. Porters
Hall block and Mrs. Jones block are on
one side of the store, and Odd Fellows
hall and the Everett house on the other
side. The wind was blowing a gale that
night. George l.. Hyde. the proprietor of
the store, and his wife were visiting in
Boston on the night of the fire.

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
Annual Report Of the 0epartment-Maryel'
ously Correct Work Of Clerks.

Washington, Oct. 17.-An abstract of the
annual report of the general superintend-
cnt of the railway mail service follows:
At the close of the year there were 116i
railway post office lines, manned by 5s5i
clerks; SO electric and cable lines. with
1902 clerks; AZ steamboat lines. with 81
clerks, making total number of lines, 1893,
and total number of clerks. 70l3. In ad-
signed to duty al important functions and
depots, and 23S detailed to clerical duty
in the various offices of the service, max
ing grand total of 1862 clerks.
The miles of railroad covered by rail-
way post office car service was 154. 225: of
electric and cable. 1903. and steamboat,
1859 The grand total of miles travelled
by all classes of service was 2S2. SS0,o3l
There were 65i ears in use and 113 in re-
serve: and POPS apartments in cars in use
and $40 in reserve. The number of pieces
of all classes of mail matter distributed
on the cars during the year was I1,571.-
$40. $50. exclusive of registered matter and
city mail. or registered matter there
were 16, 256. 663 pieces in all. The amount
of city mail distributed for stations and
carriers during the year aggregated 1872.
1863. $40 pieces. The increase of ordinary
mail handled over the previous year was
81 per cent. comparative table cover
ing a period of 10 years shows that there
has been an increase in the amount of
mail handled of 7.2 per cent. and an in
crease in the working force of 4S.6 per
cent
The number of pieces of mail matter
handled correctly to each error in distri-
button during the past 10 years has in
creased from 1864 to 1860 The number
of errors in distribution during the year
was 967 .53S. decrease of 14.7 per cent. The
number of pieces of matter. illegibly adj
dressed. handled during the year was H.
Coz, 16i.
There We're $50 casualties during the
year in which IA clerks lost their lives SO
were seriously and 70 slightly injured.
This is IA larger number of casualties and
fatalities than have occurred during any
previous year since the organization of
the service.
The passage of a bill for the relief of
the families of clerks killed in the line of
duty. of clerks injured and untitled for
service permanently or temporarily and
for the retirement on partial pay of clerks
who have served SO long as to be I'M
fitted for active service, has again been
urged.
The reorganization and Redistribution
of the service is again strongly urged by
the general superintendent. Recommended
ton is made for the enactment of some
legislation to prevent unwarranted and
unlawful interference with postal clerks
while on duty in mail cars.
The distribution of second class matter
by publishers and mailing agencies have
been followed up during the past year
with considerable success and the con-
gested condition of affairs in the larger
pOstotfices has thereby been considerably
relieved.
