 Newtown. Sept. 14.-The regular monthly burglary of the Newtown sta tion occurred last night. Express packages were torn open and the place generally ransacked for loot.

What the loss will be cannot be esti- mated until the express company's way bills come to hand. A section of a Jimmy used in forcing the door, was found on the floor. left by the thieves in their haste.
