THAT GREELEY MEETJNG.-It is the Argus
and not the PRESS that is in trouble about that
bedroom Greeley meeting at Fluent Hall last
week. Aspice of truth has exasperated it and
it INDUCES in the FOOLS argument in reply. Its
offered bets are beneath notice. We don't pro-
pose to put up money on a matter to be decided
by the assertion of men who can't agree among
themselves upon the number present. Now
we know that when this Consultation was at
its height, the contracting parties" occupied a
room 16 by 10 feet in dimensions, with seats for
eighteenspersons, and that the large ante-room
was empty. The chief engineer wasl a show
man by professional British subject and an
alien, and he was undoubtedly the inspiration
of the Argus article AS the argus was the
first paper in Portland to propose bets we offer
it the following:
One hundred dollars for the Maine General
Hospital that the argus has been guilty of re-
peated misrepresentation since the opening OF
the campaign.
One hundred dollars for the Widows Wood
Society that it does so repeatedly between now
and the November election.
One hundred dollars for the Orphan Asylum
that it will do SO willfully.
We choose to make the gross amount of these
bets reasonable. so as to increase the chance of
having them taken, and do something for these
worthy charitable Institutions.

f sE.-About o'clock Saturday evening fire
was discovered Il the boiler shop of Messrs.
Quinn & Co., on Franklin street, near CONNER
cial. The nature of its construction and its ex-
ceeding dryness allowed the flames to run
through it with great rapidity, SO that when
the firemen arrived-with great promptness-it
appeared as if the great building was doomed
to destruction. But half dozen powerful
streams soon brought the flames under control
and the building was saved, with the middle
portion bulnt out and the interior of the re-
manning portion charred. The building was 200
feet in length by 100 n breadth, full of tools
and machinery. A boiler for the steamer For
est City, nearly finished, was in the middle of
the shop, but fortunately it was uninjured. The
fire is supposed to have originated in the vicni-
ty of the boiler used to drive the machinery.
Mr.. Nichols, the clerk, had left the shop not
more than five minutes before the fire broke
out, and says that there were no signs of fire
then. Other persons passed by the ishop about
the same time and agree in this statement.
The loss is probably $4,000 or $6O00 Insured
for $6500 ON building, stock and tools, as fol
lows:--$2250 in the Home Company of New
York and $1,000 in the Etna of Hartford, fol
