SAW BURGLARS AT WORK.
Startling Discovery OF Two Young Men
ON Congress street.

The grocery store st the corner OF Park
anI Congress streets, kept BY James E.
Owen, was entered BY burglars last night
and several dollars worth Of candy and
cigars taken.
II was about II o'clock when Two
young men were coming down Congress
street, and reaching the corner OF Park
street one Of them thought he saw man
In Ovens store. He called his compsn-
i,n's attention to 10 and though there was
no light in the store both Of the youns
men saw the forms Of the persons In the
store by the dim light which came from
. street light some distance away. The
young men. whose lanes the police did
not learn, walked around the store and
then came back to the Congress street
front again. As they did the thieves
ran out OF the rear door Of the store,
vaulted fence and disappeared in the
darknsss. Officer Phillips was met by
the men within . minute after tbs ss-
cape Of the thieves, but though he hunted
nigh and low Tor them they could not be
found. The burglars were thought to b,
hoys. They had broken out two squares
Of glass ut the rear Of the store and man.
AGED to open the window.

Turner of Georgia, was refused berth
on a sleeping car by the officers Of the

DEAD OF THE MAINE.
Placed ON Bsttieship Texas Hester-
day.

Havans, Dscomber 2i.-The removal OF
the dead Of the Maine was not accom-
panied BY any ceremonies. The bodies
were newly coffinsd and placed In the
mortuary chapel of the cemetery until all
Was com plstsd. At ten o'clock last night,
twenty wagons formed q mournful pro-
osssior, carrying i15 collins to tns Ma
china wharf. The bodies reached the
wharf ct IL 80 under a strong guard from
the batsleship Texas and were placed
aboard two steam lighters before day Hight
and were taken to tho warship ct q m.
She lsft here ct 10 q. m. AL the remains
were thoroughly disinfected. A difference
was found between the number Of coffins
entered on Chaplin Chidwiok's list which
Was IA and the actual number OF oofnns
exhumsd. Search was made through all
the 22 graves, In which the collins were
buried, but three missing were not found
Father Child wick said the difference could
be explained by q clerical error at the
time Of interring ~ he was very busy at
the wharf, giving Instructions and iden-
tifyins the bodies, and could not superip-
tend every detail. 1t was also quite pos
sible that after ordering portions Of two
different bodies to be placed In different
collins, they had carelessly been put into
one comm. It was also impossible for
Father Chadwick to superiutsnd the &C.
tuxl placing OF al the collins In the
graves owiag to the unavoidable hurry
caused by the decomposition OF the
bodisa He adds that the list gives two
bodies as unaocounted for. The supsrin-
tendent Of the cemetery who buried the
bodies, says that owing to all the re-
mains not being buried, the same day, 10
is quite possible that mistake was made
In tho counting. He was certain NO
bodies wsrs lost. Captain Green ALDO says
he does not believe any bodies won't
astray.
Persons who were deslrious Of photo
graphing the pr oceedings at the cemetery
were not allowed Co do so. The work was
conducted quietly and decorously undsr
the direction OF Father Chadwick. The
old collins were carried away and burned.

SELLING CHRISTMAS TRIES
John Kemp OF windhsm is Here Tor
the Isth Consecutive Time.

In front Of the rost offics where during
Christ mas week forest Of Christmas
trees flourish. Mr.. John Kemp Of Wind
ham was on guard last night. He Is one
of the dealers In these holiday trees ana
has been coming to Portland with them
for the last fifteen years.
ESQ .o1 have to watch these trees all
nigh.,"a sked PRESS reporter of Mr..
Kemp last night
"sure," said MIR. Kemp. eff We didn't
VS. would have mighty few Of them isft
In the morning. You see We come In here
q first Of the week with tLese tresi and
take our stand here. When IL comes night
the men who are selling trees here take
turns in watching them. Now tonight
shall guard them until twelve o'olook
and then turn In and another fellow
comes and stays on until elk o'clock
when / come back to rsli.vs him. The
reason we don't hire place to put these
trees In 10 because It would eat up the
profits too fast. We send our horses home
when the ad IL hauled In and then have
only ourselve. TO feed for the week.
81 have been coming here for fifteen
years now. The first year was here was
the best one 1 ever had. sold more
trees then than have any year sincs
that time. The nsxt year had competi-
tors and have had them over since. The
trees are going fairly well now. but the
business is not what IL was once. Every
milk man and market man coming Into
town sells trees now, and this cuts down
our profits good deal But have been
doing fairly we'll. The trees sell from ten
cents up to two dollars, and the stands
cost twenty ve cents extra. We fell them
to all kinds of people. some to the rish
folks on State street and some to the poor
tensment people in other parts OF the
town. It's pretty hard work but We have
nothing to complain ef. II 1t doesn't get
cold tonight shan't kick much. Good
night and Mr.. Kemp pulled his cap
down over his ears and took. up his lone
some promenade around his miniature
forest.
