They were.Horse Thieves.

The police are looking after a man who
has been stopping at the Checkley House
and Friday night he and another man
hired horse and double seated carriage
of Ira Foss of the Checkley House, stat
ing that they were going to the Atlantic
House to give an entertainment. They
drove to Portland instead, arriving here
at midnight. They put the horse into
Sawyer's stable on Federal street, saying
it would remain there week. Saturday
morning they went to the stable, got the
horse and single carriage belonging to
Mr.. Sawyer, leaving the double carriage.
The. horse and buggy were found Satur.
day in Smiths stable, Yarmouth. The
men, three in number, apparently struck
out for Lewiston, having got all the Ego"
there was in the horse out of him.

The Electric Roads.

Superintendent Macreadie Of the Cape
electric road when asked by d PRESS
man Saturday night as to the number OF
people carried to and from Rigby park
during the New England fair. after re-
ferring to his books and figures, gave the
number for the week, from Sunday tc
Saturday night, as $4,000, which is very
conservative estimate and probably con.
siderably below the number actually car
ried on this line. No accident of any kind
occurred during the entire week, which is
something remarkable, when one consid.
ers the way in which nearly every car on
the line was crowded, even women and
children clinging on to the outside, any.
wa to get to Rigby.
The officers of the Portland railroad
company were not prepared to give any
estimate of the number of people who
travelled on their lines, but when one
considers the thousands of strangers in
the city, and the fact that every available
car on the road was pressed into service
and crowded on nearly every trip during
the week it is evident that when the fio.
ures are made up they will be record
breakers.

British.

21.-The King of Benin, who surrendered
on August to the British authorities,
after wandering i'll the bush since the
capture of Benin City by the British in
February last, as a result of the massacre
Of an armed expedition under Consul
Phillips, entered Benin City, preceded by

lowed by eight hundred unarmed blacks,

pressed desire to make his submission

ter having consulted with his chiefs,
made an obeisance rubbing his forehead
three times upon the ground. Ten of his

POCKETS FILLED WITH SAND.
The Peculiar Feature of the Latest nrassa-
chusetts Murder.

Crescent Beach, Mass. August 81 What
appears to have been murder was dis
covered between Oak Island and the
Point Of Pines at an early hour this
morning, when the body of a man with
several ugly cuts and bruises on his head
and face, was found on the sand with the
incoming tide washing over him. A
bundle of papers was found near the man,
as if they had been washed out of his
pocket. Among them was a certificate
from the Soldiers Home, made out in
the name of Patrick Murphy, a private
of Company A, 4sth Massachusetts In
fantry, who was admitted to the home
March 2s, and discharged August 9.
An investigation started by the police
as the finding of the body was made
known to them, resulted in the disclosure
that the deceased and a tall man called at
the Windsor House here last night about
q O'Clock and asked for B. A. BODICE, the
icated condition. The tall man was asked
to come into the hotel, but refused to do
SO, remaining in the shade of the porch
1t then was learned that w. G. Howes,
who lives on Crescent Beach, near Oak
Island, saw the men last night at the
band stand. He states that he was ,awak-
ened between and o'clock this morn
ing by the sound of four shots and after
wards heard some one drive back Of his
house, talking in a loud and angry voice.
Chief West of the Metropolitan park po-
lice has charge of the body. A peculiar
thing about the affair was that the dead
mans trousers pockets and the pockets of
his coat were filed with sand. He was
apparently about 55 or TO years old, had
a heavy gray mustache and was dressed
in light trousers and dark cheviot coat.

Auburn Wants Another chance

The Auburn hose coupling team. which
contested at the Firemen's Muster at
Portland Friday, say they were not fairly
beaten and they offer some excellent rea-
sons in substantiating their claims.
Furthermore, they will probably chal-
lenge the Westbrook team for another
trial -,
The judges gave the Valentines of Yves t
brook first money and a record of 90 Sec
onds. They gave Auburn a record of 80
seconds, Bath 80, Ellsworth 80 Is, Bruins
wick 80 IA and Ellsworth 35
Captain Frank Paul of Auburn says it
was manifestly unfair. The Westbrook
company made the first trial and as usual
were allowed to flush the hose before
making the test. After the hose was
flushed the ends of the lines of hose were
turned up and slack water was left in
the hose. When the hose was attached to
the hydrant and the pressure on, the air
forced little stream of water out of the
nozzle and, the judges gave the team
'water" for that little squirt, which as
q matter of fact had nothing whatever te
do with the main stream.
Captain Paul says that the other com
panies made big kick and the result
was that the judges caused each host
company after that to drain the hose ant
lap the ends instead of doubling then
over. This was fair provided the West
brooks had been put on the same footing
But they were not A protest was en-
tered, but did not count. the $50 being
awarded to Westbrook
The Auburn boys along with the othe
teams feel that it was a very unfai
method of doing business.
1t has been suggested that the question
of which is the better team be settled a
