n ROSE CARSON FOUND.

Augusta, December IA special to
the Journal from Thomaston says that
the escaped convict Rose Carson White,
who escaped from prison Saturday after.
noon in company with burglar Plummer,
has been captured. The capture was
made by Deputy Warden Wyman in the
town Of Cushing. six miles down the
coast from Thomaston. She had gone to
a farmers house for food and protection
from the cold and the man recognized
her, at once notifying the officers. Plum
mer was not captured, though he is
thought to be in the town. They slept
aut of doors Saturday and in barn the
other nights, having nothing to eat stree
Saturday. Rose White is the woman who
was sentenced in the Kennebec Supreme
court this fall to four years for the MUIR
der of her husband.
Shs is In a very bad condition, having
suffered greatly from the intense cold.
Both of her feet were frozen and she ap-
peare glad to get back to warm quarters.
According to the woman's story, Charles
A. PIummer left her yesterday afternoon
ard went on alone. The officers are of
the opinion that he is but short distance
away and it will undoubtedly be only
matter of a short time before he will be
again in custody.

CAPT. eouD's CASE.
Fire Committee May Grant Public
Hearing In the Matter.

There is possibility that the commit
tee on fire department may reconsider
their action in the case of Capt. Cloud OF
the fire boat, who was charged with sub
ordination by Chief Engineer Eldridge.
and hold public hearing on the matter.
This case has created great amount OF
talk pro and con among the citizens of
Portland, some of whom have said that
they did not believe Chief Engineer Ell
bridge had a chance to put in the evil
dence before the committee which he was
prepared to offer. The PRESS inter-
viewed Councilman Florence Driscol of
the fire committee last night, who said:
"The relations between the fire commit
tee and Chief Engineer Eldridge are and
have always been pleasant. We acted in
the case of Capt. Goud of Engine ac-
cording to our best judgment and with
sincerity and honesty. No prejudice in
fiuenced us, nor were there any outside
influences brought to bear upon the COM
mittee to bias it's decision.
81 am, however, inclined to believe
that the committee will grant another
hearing in this matter on the ground that
the public has been led to believe that
Chief Engineer Eldridge did not have an
opportunity to present his case as he de-
sired to have it presented, and it is the de-
sire of the committee to have this matter
settled in way that will be satisfactory
to all citizens of Portland and in a man.
Der fair to all concerned.
"a meeting of the fire committee will
be held Thursday night and possibly
some action may be taken in regard to
public hearing. if Mr.. Eldridge SO elects.
I for one am ready and willing to vote
for such d hearing. And would suggest
II such hearing be held that any citi-
zens who have testimony to offer perth
nent to this case be granted the privilege
of appearing before the committee"
Councilman Everett r. Josselyn, secre-
tary of the fire committee was also seen
last night and to him was read the inter-
view with MIR. Driscoll which appears
above. Mr.. Josselyn said II coincide in
all that MIR. Driscoll has said and am
willing with him to vote for another
hearing in this case if such is the pleasure
of Chief Engineer Eldridge."

BROKE THE RECORD.
The Coolest Day Yet So Early In the
Season.

When the Weather Bureau on Monday
predicted much colder weather for Tues
day and Wednesday many in this vicinity
thought the bureau was making mis-
take The mercury was then pretty well
down in the tube, indicating but IL de-
grees on Monday morning, and not rising
above IS degrees during the day. But
when the light snow storm ended on
Tuesday noon the wind began to blow
from the northwest and while it didn't
make any special fuss it made itself felt
most decidedly. By 6 o'clock it had
dropped to about zero, and yesterday
morning the Weather Bureau gave the
figures at 6 below at o'clock. But the
temperature was much lower in different
localities abou the city. At Union Sta
tion it was 10 below, and one or two very
exposed places marked 10 below.
The brakenen on the Mountain d.
vision of the Maine Central railroad who
the cold weather up the line was the Sc
verest known for years. At Lime Ridge
the thermometer registered 40 below; at
Lunenburg 40 and at Beecher Falls, So
below.
Out at Woodfords the mercury ranged
from l6 to 81 degrees below zero; North
Deering 20 degrees, and Westbrook 20 de-
grees. Milkmen coming in town in the
early morning felt the colo bitterly.
Many house holders not thinking the
weather would be much colder during
the night didn't put on extra coal and
as result frozen water pipes made good
business for the plum bers.
During the day yesterday the weather
softened considerably, the mercury touch
ing IS degrees above at noon, but it
WASH t any too warm last evening.

TREASURY STATISTICS.
Receipts From Present Tarln Law Com
nAred with Otker..

Washington. Nov. 2O-The discus
sion as to the revenue producing quail
ties o. the present tariff law lends es-
pecial Interest to z series OF tables Jus.
issued by the Treasury Bureau OF Sta,
tcdcs. showing the receipts from vari-
Gus sources by months during long
term Of years.
An examination OF these figures
shows that the customs receipts Of the
Treasury Department now amount To
one-half the ordinary expenditures Of
the government, which Is about the
usual proportion allotted TO that branch
or the revenue producing service.
The ordinary expenditures Of the
government. aside from those OF the
Postofrcc Department. which Is pracii-
cally self-sustnining. are usually cal
culatcd at about 100000 a day and
averaged during the years 1894 to 1897
S3GO,JOO.OOO per annum, and at nbout
the came ratio In 1888. omitting the Pa.
cihc railroad and extraordinary war
expenditures.
The general plans OF those charged
with the duty OF providing the rcvc-
nues for the government have contem.
plated the production of one half Of the
necessary expenditures from customs
and the remaining half from Internal
revenue and miscellaneous sources. or.
IN other words, half n million dollars
day from customs and half a million
dollars day from internal revenue and
miscellaneous
The daily statement Of receipts and
expenditures issued by the Treasury
department shows that November 18th
the 10th day Of the prcscn, fiscal year.
the customs receipts had. during these
lto days. amounted to s73,3io.42J. OF
'his sum little more than s1.OOO.OOG
was from the duty placed upon tea by
the war revenue act, so that fully ST.
100000 Of the S73,3iO.io9 received In
these l4o days are the legitimate nor.
mai revenues from the rates levied by
the customs law enacted In July. 1SgS.
or little more than the promised rate
OF half n million dollars a day from
