St. Johnsbnry, Aug. 5. Tho Fairbanks museum of natural science was broken into night, and a case containing valuable jewels, in eluding a large uncut diamond and several rare stones, was robbed of its contents. Heyoud, tho fact that a theft had been committed, the police gave out no information as to the matter, ami the trusteed of' the museum declined to discuss it.

The amount of Ihe loss is not stated, hut it is believed the value of the stones will run into thousands of dollars. The museum is a public institution endowed by the bite Col. Francis Fairbanks, a former citizen of St. Johnsbury. Most of the jewels were collected by Col.

Fairbanks in the conrso of his travels about the world. They included, besides the. uncut, diamond, several opals, a tur-quciso, tli ree emeralds, a ruby and Kill net Suspicion in the minds of the police attaches to some supposed yegg men who have been loitering about the town for several days, and lu are believed to hae occupied a camp In the woods. The absence of the gems was discovered yesterday niurning by Miss Mabel Shields, acting curator, who on opening the museum, found the heavy plate glass casing of the cabinet containing: the gems smashed and the contents gone. A window at the rear of the building open and it is siipiosed the exit, was made in that way.

It is thought that tho thieves secreted themselves about the building during the day and after it. was fit cured their plunder. The ritled case contained one of the most valuable collections in the museum. The Ftones were largely uncut gems of priceless value to the museum as tin cannot be duplicated.

BODY OF UNKNOWN MAN FOUND No Indication of Who He Was or Hew He Died. The body of an unknown man. badly decomposed, was found yesterday afternoon about a few foot from the street car tracks opposite the Harrison residence on Massachusetts avenue in North Adams.

The body was in such an advanced state of decomposition that identification was impossible and there was nothing about it to Indicate who it was. The man about live feet and seven inches tail, had light hair, very thin, and a thin sandy mustache. The upper teeth were all gone in front. Tho man wore a dark coat and dark striped trousers. He also had on a black shirt with white stripes and a new pair of blatkshoes of coarse make.

Ther. was nothing in the pockets and a partly-filled pint whiskey bottle lay near by. The place where the body iin found is beside a busy thoroughfare and the Wllliamstown and Bennington cars pass within a few feet of it several times a day. The highways is also within 3d feet nnd it is surprising that the body had not been discovered before yesterday. A farm hand by the name of Joseph Pascucci, employed by W.

K. IVmond, who lives on the Harrison farm, came across the gruesome timl while mowing brush. Olliter Whipple of the North A. lams police and Medical Kxaminer Brown went to the scene and examined the botly. but there was nothing upon hich' to base conclusion as to how-the man came to his death.
