Committee on Finance.

The committee on finance of the city
government met yesterday to discuss the
tax rate to be fixed or the coming year
There was strong feeling in the COM
mittee that the rate ought to be made s21
on $1,000, while others of the committee
were of the opinion that the rate could be
made as low as 500 so on $1,000 and still
bring in money enough to meet current
liabilities of the city. The matter was
put to vote and the motion to make the
rate $21 on $1,000 was not carried. The
adjourned until next Monday
when the matter will probably be settled

THE WARRIORS RETURN.
Home Again to Wife and Mother-rhe
Muster Success.

Last evening, about 7.15 o'clock, the
Maine Central train pulled into the
station from Augusta bringing the Port
land battalion home from the muster
field. The camp was broken about 4 D. m.
The battalion showed the excellence of
their drill, and the attention they had
paid to their duties during their camp
life, as they marched proudly down Con-
gress street in column of platoons, in
heavy marching order. their fife and drum
corps playing "There'll be a hot time in
the old town tonight" the sidewalks
crowded with men, women and children
and the glorious full moon bringing out
every detail with wonderful distinctness.
The muster of 1897 is over and was the
best one the boys ever had.

THE VETS.
Gave the Tub Trial on Clark Street Last
Evening.

The Veteran Firemen took the tub out
last night and gave her a trial on Clark
street, near Spruce. The stream was a
good one, but not equal to what the en-
CINE has done. Last night stream was
obtained of 100 feet, but there is slight
rise at the point where the tub was sta
toned, which initiated against breaking
the record. Some nights ago 200 feet were
obtained.
This afternoon at 2 O'Clock there will be
forth streets.

Yacht Runs Into the Leila B. Fernald.

=
The Neaira, the large and handsome
steam yacht belonging to Mr.. c. A.
Gould of New York, ran into the schooner
Leila B. Fernald at the end of Custom
House wharf yesterday about ,. N. An
inventory of damage done showed that a
big hole had been cut in the Fernald' S
port quarter; her fashion piece damaged,
the mainsail torn badly and few minor
damages. The only known harm done
the Nealra was the loss of a little paint
from her bow.
The yacht has tonnage of 141.39, is
lis feet long, 20 feet wide and nine feet
deep, consequently can strike a pretty
heavy blow. She pulled away and now
lays at Long wharf, while the Fernald
was hauled back and the 1nainsail stripped
off and work began at once on repairing
her.
The Neaira apparently did not mind
her helm readily or did not slow down
fast enough.
The Fernald was starting out for a
sword fishing "trip, and will be delayed
considerably.

EXPERIENCES WITH BURGLARS

Tragic Story and Another With a
r. Humorous Side. - s $%%s5
Burglar stories are rife nowadays
There are hundred experiences told
of burglars or wouId-be burglars for
every robbery, and those are nu1ner
Gus One of these lis al true story and
of double tragedy. It is a story Of
the rash use of firearms. It was a
young man who discovered the burglar
He heard first a slight noise outside
the house, was sure he heard steps,
and, looking out, saw a light. He aim
ed at the light as he took his revolver
and fired. There was no further noise
and he> went to sleep, content that he
had frightened away the burglar If
there had been one In the morning it
was found that his revolver had done
good execution. A man, heavily armed
and well supplied with burglars tools,
was found dead outside the house door.
It was a great shock to the man who
had killed him. He had killed a hui
man being in cold blood, and he was
inconsolable. = He was a fine young fell
low, with life of promise before him.
It was in vain that his friends endeav-
ored to console him by saying that the
man was evidently desperate and other
lives might have been taken if he had
been allowed to carry out his plans.
But the murderer, as he considered
himself, was not to be comforted He
became the victim of settled melan.
choly, and before the end of a year he
had succumbed to his feelings. III.
Another story has a comic side. She
was nice old lady, who never missed
an opportunity to laud the virtues OF
her departed spouse A friend, seeing
heavy cane standing at the head OF
her bed one day, remarked upon it
Eyes, said the widow, sJames always
kept it there in case of burglars. James
was very brave. Why, I.remember one
night we heard a noise in the house
