ROBBERS BLOW OPEN
SAFE IN POSTOFFICE.

for a mile and half. Then the robbers
took 10 the woods where IL seemed use-
less to follow them.
Several hundred men were immedi-
ately posted around the woods. At day.
break all the approaches TO the woods
were guarded. Sheriff Tucker and De-
putty Sheriff Fred A. Porter of Rum
ford Falls have been summoned to take
command. They will attempt TO drive
the men out into the open and capture
them. 1t Is thought the robbers will
be shot IL they attempt to make any
resistance. All the country surround
ing the woods Is open and 1t is felt that
the robbers have been brought to bay.
Investigation shows that thefrobbers
failed to effect an entrance to the steel
vault of the postoffice safe. Therefore
all the money and papers are secure,
though they are not TO be got at till
an expert arrives from the city. This
is the sixth time the postoffice at Buck
field has been entered and the third
time the safe has been blown open. The
men also entered Spaulding e. Sons
general store last night and secured
n few dollars In money.
From descriptions furnished by those
who chased the men last night II ap-
pears quite certain that this Is the
same gang that operated in the South
Berwick bank, at the Sawyer Brothers
store in Greene and in Mechanics
Falls.

Lewiston. June Ia special from
Buckfeld states that robbers blew open
the postotYice safe in Mil village dur
ing the night. The outer door of the
safe was thrown across the office. which
is in the store of Alfred Cole. The Of
fce furniture was practically ruined
and the front OF the store was blown
out by the terrific explosion. The noise
awakened every one In the village. AL
bert Tilton, who lives nearest the Cole
store leaped to the window and saw
smoke rushing from the shattered front
OF the postoffice building. He immc-
diately seized a rifle and fired nine
shots into the store, but the burglars
had already made their escape.
Nearly all the people in the village
turned out at the sound OF the ex-
plosion and the bombardment UNDER
taken by Tiiton.
Many were armed with guns. In few
minutes the. robbers were located run
ming down the track OF the Portland
and Rumford Falls railway. The citi-
zens at once set OF In pursuit, firing at
the fugitives az they fed.
The robbers turned and replied with
their revolvers. and for few minutes
a pitched battle was carried on. Then
the burglars again took 10 their heels
and ran down the track. The Buckfield

MAY SESSION OF
THE ASSEMBLY ENDS.
Important Measures Passed, Includ-
ing Newport Police Commission
and Three PaWtuCket Bills.

In spite of the opinion held by many
persons. the May session OF the General
Assembly came TO close at Newport
at a o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
there did not seem TO be dissenting
voice. everybody being perfectly willing
to have an adjournment. except the
hotel proprietors ard the hackmen.
Despite the fact that the session was
a short one, there was very large
amount OF important business transact
ed, and measures were taken TO bring
about a better condition of things in
the municipal affairs of Newport and
Pawtucket.
The passage OF the Newport police
commission bill was received with gen.
eral favor. and only the members of the
license board, who, under the provisions
of the bill. went out of office at mid
night last night. objected. In few
days Gov. Gregory Will announce the
names OF the three commissioners. and
there does not seem 10 be any doubt
that Col. jeremiah IA. Horton. the
present senator from Newport and an
ex-mayor OF the city Will he the chair
man OF the police board. The passage
of the act also means that Chief OF Po-
lice Kaull will go out of office and i'm
all probability the new superintendent
of police, under the commissioners, Will
be DETECTIVES Richards.
The Suburban railway act. which
gives the trolley road the right to carry
freight on all it's lines. was passed in
concurrence. This. OF course. does not
please the Consolidated road. but no
objection was made to the passage OF
the bill in either branch. The bill of
the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford railroad company relating to no.
tice OF injury and damage to person or
property, was put before the judiciary
committee In an amended form. but

less lengthy discussion was expected,

Sec. 4. This act shall take effect up

of acts inconsistent herewith are here
by repealed: Provided, that notice OF
any injury or damage occurring prior
to the date of passage concerning
which no suit Is pending may be given
as aforesaid within go days after the
date OF the passage.
The proposed amendment to the con-
stitution OF the state will also be
brought sup at the June session. and
the neglect TO pass the proposition a
second time at Newport was due sim
ply TO the fact that the printed copies
OF the act did not reach the Newport
state house until after 3 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, owing 10 the miscar-
riage of letter containing the copy.
1t was realized that II introduced at
that hour IL would mean a long fight
and the bill was held back until June
