NEW ENGLAND FAIR.
Will Come Here This Year Under Certain
Conditions.

The New England Agricultural sooi-
ETY. held meeting in Boston on Febru-
airy 9th, and voted to bring the New Eng
land fair to Portland for another year on
certain conditions. In order for the fair
to come to Portland it will be necessary,
SO the society has stated, for the city Of
Portland to appropriate $1,000 in aid of
the enterprise. 1t will also be necessary
for the Maine Mile Track Association to
agree to purchase at. the end Of the year
1898 the property owned by the New Eng
land Agricultural society at Rigby park.
The conditions are now being considered
by the Maine Mile Track association and
it is very probable that the association
will ask the city council to appoint a
committee from the board of aldermen
and common council to confer with the
directors of the association about this
matter. The order for the appointment
of this committee may be brought before
the city government meeting on Monday
evening as the association is very anxious
that something should be done about the
affair at once.

and three deer from Eastern Maine, tc
be added to the geological collection at
Rivertonsspark. The animals were Grated
and shipped. by express over thu Bangor
Il Aroostook, and transferred at Bangor
to the Maine Central express car and
from thence brought to Portland. Efforts
were made to have the car of the b. &
A. transferred to the Maine Central road,
but this could not be done, SO the ami

The caribou and two of the deer stood

i'll on the journey and as a result died
almost as soon as taken from the car.

 A GROWN STREET BURGLARY.
Mysterious Facts Confront Detectives
 in Their Investigations

Mysterious Facts Confront Detectives
 in Their Investigations.
 Investigation by the detectives of burglary at the residence of G. w. Bailey, at 373 Crown street. last Tues day has developed some mysterious facts in connection with the case. The house was burglarized on Tuesday night, the 18th instant, at sometime be- tween il p. m. and a. m., and two valuable rugs, fancy sofa pillow and black overcoat taken. The facts were reported to the police and Detec- tives Donnelly and Dennehy were as- signed to investigate the affair. A thorough inspection by the detectives of the doors and windows of the house failed to give any clue as to the way in which the house had been entered. Nor could any trace of the stolen prop erty be obtained in the various places where it would most probably have been taken for secretion.
 An old shed nearly opposite the Bailey residence on Crown street, now used for the storage of building ma terials, was carefully searched by De- tective Donnelly on Friday last, but no trace of the stolen goods was found. Detective Donnelly, however, found a handsome pocketbook during his search. Saturday Detective Donnelly read in an evening paper found advertise ment, stating that an overcoat and three other articles had been found on Crown street He at once determined that the four articles found must be the four articles for which he and Detective Dennehy had been look ing He searched out the person who advertised the goods, a MT. Reed, who found the goods on Fri day morning while passing to his | work, as was his custom, through the old shed, which Detective Donnelly had so carefully searched the day before. Who stole the goods and put them in the old shed is mystery which the detectives are now in hopes of solving at an early date.
