The apportonment of the State aid to
common schools was made in the office of
the State treasurer Tuesday. This is from
3-s of the savings bank tax and one mill up
on each dollar of valuation in the whole
State, and is apportioned to cities, towns
and plantations which have raised by taxa
tion so cents per inhabitant for common
school purposes. If the municipalities have
expended the so cents per inhabitant by
Jan. l, they will share in the distribution
at that time according to the apportionment
made. The new law, changing the requir-
ed local assessment from so to IS cents per
inhabitants will take effect Jan /, next,
and the State mill tax next year will be in
creased from one mill to one and one-half
mills. The appOrtionment is at the rate of
s.. 9S per scholar. The number of scholars
reported is 1899 less than last year, and the
rate of apportionment is 81 cents higher per
scholar This years funds amount to $685.

YACHTS AND BOATS.

Capt. Daley went to Bangor Sunday in
his speedy little launch, which he is offer
ing for sale.
Mr.. G. II. kirkpatrick went to Bangor
last Saturday in his new launch, going
down the harbor in the afternoon before
the northwest wind with his jib and main
sail set.
The sloop yacht Comfort of Bangor came
into the harbor Saturday afternoon. She
left Bangor Friday and spent that night in
Stockton harbor. The party on board in
cluded the owner, Victor Chaisson, and the
folio wing guests: Joe White, Fred Burns,
C. D. Boudreaux and John Chaisson.
Last Thursday afternoon schooner yacht
was seen in the offing headed for Belfast
The wind was light and battling, but the
yacht made such headway that the nautical
experts watching her decided she must be
an auxiliary. They were mistaken, how
ever, and when she came to an anchor
above the steamboat wharf they were un-
able to identify the club flag at the fore. 1t
was the flag of the Bucks Harbor Yacht
Club, and the yacht was the Elin, and her
owner, Freeland Jones, Esq, of Bangor, is
the commodore of the club Mr.. Jones was
not on board, but came down river on
steamer Camden that afternoon and joined
the yacht here. On board were Mrs. Jones,
two sons and young lady friend. They
were all ashore in the evening for walk
around town and were much pleased with
our little city, which they found very at
tractive. Friday was a rainy day and the
yacht remained in port, and after taking in
stores sailed Saturday morning for Bucks
Harbor. The Elin is % tons net, 46 feet 2
inches long, Is feet beam, feet deep and
was built at Bath in 1879 She has feet
head room in her cabin, commodious, we'll
equipped galley, and is an ideal cruiser
safe, comfortable and easily handled. She
carries on davits a naphtha boat that in a
calm can tow the yacht three or four miles
an hour.

Murder and Attempted Suicide.

FARMINGToN, Me-, July IA. Jesse
shot and killed his wife and also shot mis-
brother, Edward Searles, when he found
the two strOlling together in the woods
short distance from the village of North
Chesterville, where they lived. Returning
to the village, Searles went to the house of
physician and directed him to the scene of
the tragedy, after which he walked up the
road for short distance and then shot him
self in the head. He was still alive late to-
night, but was not expected to recover.
Edward Searles has bullet wound through
the jaw. His condition tonight was serious,
but it is thought that the wound will not
prove fatal. Jealousy is ascribed as the
probable reason for the shooting. People
Of the village say that both the Searles
brothers and Mrs. Searles had borne good
regulations. Later reports say~that Searles
and his brother will recover.
