FOR BURGLARY.

Joseph Jangraw and Henry Man.
chester were in city court on Tues
day charged with the burglary of tie
Argus and Patriot store on Monday
morning. 1t is claimed that the two
boys broke into that store at about 2
a. m, and stole about So in money
from the cash drawer and from the
desk of George Atkins. One. at least,
of the boys admits the crime and gives
as the only excuse that they were
drunk when they committed it. Man.
chester is employed in the Argus
printing Office and Jangraw works in
the printing Office of the Union Card
Company. The charge of burglary be-
ing beyond the jurisdistiction of the
city court the hearings this morning
were in the nature of binding over
the proceedings. Each respondent
waived examination and was bound
over to county court to await action
of the grand jury. Bail was fixed at
S40O, in each case and was furnished
by Oughtney Jsngraw for Joseph jan
graw and by George Atkins for Man.
chester.
1t appears that person who lives
near the Argus and Patriot building
saw the two boys come out of the
store and 80 reported during the day.
Judge Woodward in fixing bail at the
small sum of ci00 gave the boys a
good talking to and told them that
this was done in order that they might
secure bail and have a chance to show
that they have. enough backbone to
take fresh start and keep on the
right track. Benjamin Gates appeared
for the State.
The arrests were made by Chief Nc
Mahon and Deputy Sheriff O. A.
Smith 1t is understood both boys
are to resume work on their old jobs.
The office of the Union Gard Com
pany was broken into the same night
and between 80 and SO was stolen. 1t
is claimed by the officers that this
break was by the same boys but as
yet no formal complaint has been
made against them on this charge.

LINER WRECKED.

Grimsby, Eng, July 5.-Another 3.
sea tragedy, with hundred of victims,
has occurred and the Scandinavian
American liner, Norge, lies beneath
the water, the spot marked only by a
great pile of granite rocks rising out
of the water, about 300 miles from
the Scottish mainland. Bodies wash
against the rocks or lie in the ocean
bed at its base The ship was carry
ing 800 Danes, Norwegians, Swedes and
Firms to join relatives or friends in
America and OF these only about 1870
were saved.
The passengers were suddenly
aroused from the sleep, terrified by
the contact of the bows of the ship
with the solid granite followed by a
grinding, rasping sound as if the hull
was being showed over huge rocks, then
silence as the changing bells brought
the engines to a stop. Those of the
passengers who were standing at the
time the steamer struck the rock were
throw against the bulkheads or on the
decks and had not recovered their feet
when a stentorian voice gave the terri
flying order: All hands on deck f!
Hurry or you may sink. -
Many persons, retaining their pres
ence of mind, seized life preservers
only to find in some instances that the
strings were rotten and that they
could not be quickly put arounnd their
bodies. Those who reached the deck
saw the nose of the Norge pinned di-
rectly against the rock. 1t remained
there only a few minutes, for Captain
Gundell commanding, who had i'm
mediately gone on the bridge, gave the
order to the engine room to reverse
the engines. Slowly, the ship backed
off and as she gained way it was found
that water was pouring into her hold.
This announcement called out in
Scandinavian, and presaging death, ao-
ded to the supreme fright and agony.
Inquiry to discover why the Norge
was SO far off her course has been
made. Rockhall Reef is known to
every sailor on the North Atlantic and
is mapped plainly ON the charts. A
strong current sweeps in it's direction
and it is presumed owing to absence
of definite knowledge that the current
drew the Norge to her grave, that
heavy mist prevented the lookouts
from seeing the danger, and that there
was no thought of Rock hall Reef until
the ship struck and the captain called
out that they had struck the terror OF
northern navigation.

NARRO ESCAPE.

The Main street bridge was the
scene of an accident, on Monday
afternoon about A O'Clock, that missed
of being fatal by a margin SO narrow
that the escape overshadows the &C.
cident. A little boy, whose name
could not be learned, climbed to the
top of the left hand side of the bridge
and started to walk along the steel
girders. At one point the electric
light wires run almost on the girder
The little fellow put his hands on
the wires to support himself. Instant
ly he was snapped off his feet and
swung over toward the river. But
his body then touched the other wire
and formed short circuit, the shock
of which threw the boy back to the
girder. The blue flames shot out
from his hands as the current passed
through his body. Frank Smith,
fireman on the Montpelier and Wells
River railroad, was standing on the
station platform at the time of the
accident. He ran to the bridge,
climbed to the girder and took the
boy down. The latter was crying
Justify. AS soon as he got to the
ground he lighted out for home he.
fore anyone could learn his name.
He was somewhat burned about the
hands. But the the wonder is that
he was not either electrocuted or
dashed into the river. The short
circuit burned out the switch at the
electric light station thus showing
that the boy received current suffi-
ciently heavy to have killed HIM
dozen times over under ordinary cir.
cumstances.
