Safe Robbery at Philbr00k.

A robbery occurred at C. NJ. Good
ellis home at Philbro0k. Saturday
night, which promises to furnish
some sensational features. Mr..
Goodell this year purchased a safe
for the careful keeping of hooks and
papers, but had not made a practice
Of keeping any money therein. Last
week II. A. Jellison of the Judith sold
n bunch Of horses and desiring to
use the funds shortly, requested Mr..
Goodell to keep them for him, and
the package, containing $640, was
placed in the safe. Saturday night
, some one entered the room, unlocked
the safe and the inside drawer and
made off with the package, also TAX
ing a purse containing 81 belonging
to Mrs. Goodell. Mrs. Goodell had
been up until about 2 a. m. with a
child and the robbery occurred be-
tween that time and morning. The

and as this was successfully and
without violence worked. some are

The screen door showed where the
man entered, but the work was done
noiselessly az the family slept but in

inclined to consider Mr.. Goodell in

1t IL a serious matter to both and

at Stanford, was summoned az soon

The new Maine is to be a much
greater vessel than the old Maine.
1t is to be 70 feet longer and viii
have Is feet more beam and over
two feet greater mean draught, dis
placement 1850 tons, against its
predecessors 6,682. 1t will have
l6, 000indicated horse power, against
8, ,923, and normal coal supply of
1000 tons, against only 400, the
bunker capacity, also, being 1000,
against 1896. The turrets will carry
12-inch guns, where the old Maine
carried 10 inch, and instead of six
6-inch guns the newer battleship
will have sixteen. There will be
thirty-one guns in the secondary
battery, instead of nineteen, includ
ing twenty 6-pounders, instead OF
seven. In armor the advantage OF
the new vessel will be no less marked,
its turrets, for example, being not
only superior in quality, but twice
as thick.
