GRIEVANCE SETTLED.

The grievance Of Albert Lane, the sea-
man who deserted from the bark Birnam
Wood, was settled yesterdday morning by
his waving all claims for alleged assault
and by the payment to him of his wages
In full to date, minus the expense Of
lawyers fees, etc.
In justice to Captain Morris of thesbark
1t should be stated that after mis- vessel
arrived here Lane told him that his rela-
tiyes were sick in Nova Scotia and asked
permission to be paid off. The captain
tried to dissuade him from leaving the
Wood permanently and offered to advance
him $50 of his wages and allow him ten
days In which he might visit his rela-
tiVes. Lane states that instead Of doing
this he got ashore and acted upon some
bad advice given him. This morning he
voluntarily surrendered himself, with the
above stated result.

And Her Glass Ring Was
Loose On Her Finger.
The Tramp Seized Her Hand,
Stole the Ring and Ran.

Stories of the nerve of hoboes are not
uncommon. but here is one that can't be
eqalled. The young people about the Eas-
tern Promenade have long been accus-
toned to use the bathing beach near the
old smelling works, and yesterday otter
noon there was quite q number Of young
ladies taking dip in the bay. Among
them was Miss Georgie Il. Norton. She
had been in the water and was standing
on the beach when /. two men, evidently
tramps, came along. Her fingers had
shrunk some while in the water and a
ring Of the class Of 'Ss Of the Portland
High school. was very loose on her finger.
Suddenly one of the tramps grasped
Miss Norton's hand and slipped the gold
ring from her finger. He than made off
and disappeared mp the Grand Trunk
tracks. Miss Norton reported her loss to
the police station and they are trying TO
find the ring for her.

An opinion has been received by the

REMAINING THE STREETS.
The Committee win Make ITS Report
Next Monday TO city Council.

The committee on remaining the streets
of the city held a meeting yesterday af-
teTnoon. Its work is now nearly COM
pleted and 1t Is making its final report to
be presented to the city council on Mon
day evening. The labors Of this commit
tee have excited great amount of inter-
est all over the city. They have done
their work carefully and with due re-
gard for the wishes Of the residents of the
streets whose names must be changed to
avoid confusion In lGreater :. Portland.
Where 1t has been possible to do so the
wishes of the residents on these streets
have been foIlowsd In selecting names.
Some of the petitioners wished the desig-
nation of avenue or terrace to be made,
but in some cases where the streets were
short 1t WAS not thought advisable by
the committee to aocede to these wishes.
On many streets where the name is to
be changed meetings have been held and
names selected. In such cases the MAORI
ty have ruled and the committee followed
their desires in the matter.
The proposition TO change the name of
Forest avenue met with considerable op-
position. Mr.. D. A. Hill presented pc
tition signed by many living on this
street, demonstrating against such a
change being made. Mr.. Hill said that
he ana John NJ. Adams had selected this
name for the street In 1868 and he hoped
that it would not be changed. Alderman
Moulton of the committee told Mr.. Hill
that he thought the name would lremain
as it Is at present.
Some of the names selected by the resi-
dents of the streets are as follows:
South street, Deering, to Concord.
Oak street. to Walton. In memory OLA
young man who was lost in the wreck of
the Portland.
Lincoln street. Portland. to Lancaster
street.
Church street, to Capisic, because the
street led to the old Capisio pond.
Main street. East Deering. to Washing
ton avenue. it being q continuation OF
Washington street.
"a" street, Deering, to Ivy street.
Grant street, to Beacon.
High street, Deering, to Highland.
Spring street, to Woodfords.
