PRICE OF BOARD REDUCED.
Trustees of Insane Asylum Make 1t Cheap
or To Be Crazy.

Augusta, Deoem Der 81.-The board of
trustees of the insane hospital took i'm
rortant action at their meeting Wednes-
day. They voted to reduce the price Of
board for patients % cents week. The
rate now is "a week, but 1878 will be
the price, commencing March 1st, which
is the beginning of the quarter. tbs
reduction will cut down the receipts of
the institution about $4,000 year.
The excoss of receipts over necessary
expenses has been expended in previous
years for repairs and improvements and
in the future the legislature will be
asked for appropriations for these pr1r-
poses, instead of relying on board money.
There was considerable agitation in the
last legislature over the matter of reduc-
ing the price of board of patients at the
institution and commission consisting
of Hon. Frederick Robbie, Superintendent
B. L. Sanborr and Councillor Cushing
was appointed to look into the matter.
They have made q thorough investiga-
ton which included visi TO Masschu-
setts institutions, and decided to recon-
mend the reduction, and they will make
report to the coming legislature.

FLANAGAN MADE 1T INTERESTING.

Shooting Off the Boarders.

Atlanta, Ca, December Sl.-Tom
Flanagan, carpenter, killed three per-
sons tonight near Decatur in three
seconds. Flanagan boarded with G.. W.
Allen and wife. who were both over
seventy years of age. They had five
b0arders in all.
Tonight the Aliens and four of their
boarders sat down to supper. Flanagan
was in an adjoining room. He had been
drinking. He was called two or three
times and finally he appeared at the door
ami without word began firing pistol
at the people seated at the table.
His first shot struck old Mrs. Allen,
and she fell over fatally wounded. The
next shot hit the aged husband and he
dropped to the floor. The boarders were
now sprinRing from their seats to escape.
Just as Miss Ruth Slack, rose a bull
struck her in the head and she fell dead.
The others ran ont followed by the re-
manning bullets in Flanagan's pistol.
The Aliens died in few minutes.
A posse soon rushed into the house and
took Flanagan prisoner. He was too
drunk to realize what he had done. The
marshal of Decatur brought Flanagan
into this city.

Washington, December 31.--There was
a hearty laugh at the sugar hearing be-
fore the ways and means committee to-
day. partly at the expense of Chairman
Dingley as the Maine member of the
committee, when Mr.. Herbert Myrick of
New York and Springfield, Mass, who
was advocating high tariff on beet
sugar, said that the first experiment with
beet sugar production in this country
was at Portland, Me-, and added, THAT
was about the worst place in the country
for it, and it failed.
Everybody looked at Chairman Ding
ley and laughed, when Mr.. Myrick
sought to make amends by saying: eff
the distinguished chairman of the ways
and means committee had been at the
head of the concern he would have man
aged it in such a business-like way that
it would probably have succeeded, in
spite of circumstances.
Chairman Dingley took it quite seri-
ously, and proceeded to give the reasons
why the attempt at Portland had failed,
dwelling especially upon the unfavorable
conditions of climate and soil.

THE CASE or THE DAuNTLEss.
Complications Will Follow If She At
tempts to Sail for Cuba.

Washington, December 31.-Embarrass-
ing complications are anticipated if the
steamer Dauntless sails for Cuban ports
carrying cargo of fire arms unless spec
ial permission is given her to do so by
the Spanish consul ut ths port CT clear
ing. Several of the great European pow
ers nave stringentla wslon this.subject and
the importation of arms is strictly pro-
hibited except without special permits
sion has previously been received. Spain
is one of these countries and France and
England are the two others. The same
law is, or was until recently, in force in
Russia. In official circles the opinion
prevails that any attempt on the part of
the Dauntless to enter the Cuban port
of Nuevitas without permission, to I'M
load her cargo of arms. will result in the
libelling of the vessel by the Spanish
goveynnent. and the confiscotion of her
cargo.
1t is authoritatively announced that
no Spanish consul or vice consul will
give this permission. On several occa-
sions since the ban insurrection be-
gan, arms have been shipped from the
United States to Cuba with the permits
sion of the Spanish authorities, but in
they were consigned, and the purpose to
which they would ba applied. When the
oonsignees were American planters or
others who needed the arms to protect
their property, no objection was made to
the shipment. On the contrary the Span
ish government gave every facility for
their prompt delivery,
In the present case it is not known to
whom the arms are consigned, or to
whom they will be delivered or what
purpose they are sent to Nuevitas with
matters. But the letter and spirit of the
Snanisb law will be strictly enforced.

THE LINE TO BANGOR.
Story AS To How the Eastern Dispatch
Company Was Organized.

A Bangor special to the Lewiston
Journal tells an interesting story of how
the new steamship line between here and
Bangor came to be established. 1t says
The enterprise originated in rather a
peculiar manner. 1t came about
through a ''swap."
The Belknap Motor Co. of Portland
wanted to equip the steamers Cumber-
land and State of Maine, but the Inter
national Steamship Co. thought that they
couldn't afford it, But they had an old
steamer, the New Brunswick, which was
laid up at Portland when the new pro-
peller ST. Croix came out, and after
much dickering it was agreed to swap
the New Brunswick for the light system.
Thus the Belknap Company unex-
pectedly got steamboat, and the next
thing was what to do With her.
She is an session side-wheeler, 30 years
old, but still sound. Finally it occurred
to them that the Portland and Bangor
line might, with this small investment
be revived with profit. and plans were
made for the organization of the East
ern.. Steam boat Company. The company
will be formed in week or SO, the boat
repaired and fitted, and trips will begin
next May. They are now looking for
good master for the New Brunswick.
The boat cost the Bellznap Co., as she
lies, about $1,000; fully repaired she will
cost only S15, 900. A new boat her size
would cost S125,000.
The railroad fare from Bangor to
Portland is 81. The steamboat fare will
So. j. W. Brown of the Belknap Co. is
here making arrangements.
The Bangor Commercial says: Geo
e. Brown of the Belknap Motor Com
pany, arrived in this city Wednesday af
ternoon from Portland on business con-
nected with the establishment Of a
steamboat line between this city and
Portland. On Thursday a number of
the wholesale concerns who are big re-
ceivers and shippers of freight were con-
suited regarding the scheme.
1t is intended to begin the service the
first of May and extend it to the close
of navigation. The steamer will leave
Bangor at 6 a. m, the same hour at
which the City Of Richmond used to
leave and reach Portland or 9 p. m.
Returning, she will leave Portland at
a. M, the following day. arriving shere
at night. There will be three trips week.
The landing of the steamer in this city
will probably be at High Head; at Bel
fast, Whites wharf; at Bucksport, Cen
trail wharf; at Rockland, either Atlantic
or Tilson's wharf.
The landing in this city will probably
be at High Head. The passenger rates
have not yet been fixed, but the fare from
Bangor to Portland will probably be 50
or So. So The company expect to carry a
large amount of heavy freight from this
port, which will be transferred without
extra charge to the New York boats. Cot.
