and can only be reached by boats. The night
and day reliefs during the past ten hours have
been sent out in boats, and prisoners were
taken to and from the same place in skiffs
Communication between the two sections of

banks during the night. The city gas works are
submerged, and the city is without gas tonight.
The street cars can only run to 18th street, in
stead OF 31st street, as heretofore. Despite the

THE TROUBLE AT BATH.
TWO Hundred Employees Of the New
England Ship Building Company
Out.

BATH, Oct. 2.-Three weeks have elapsed
since the commencement of the labor trouble
in this city, and the difficulty is practically as
far from settlement tonight as at the start
There was feeling among the workingmen
and citizens generally that matters would be
adjusted to-day and that the men would re-
turn to work on Monday. This was based
on a proposition from the directors of the
New England Ship Building Company to the
executive board, District Assembly Sc, in
which was the statement that the company
would pay $1.75 per day up to January 1st.
and from that date to March 1st, $3.50. AT a
meeting of the executive board, held here
Thursday, the proposition of the company
was accepted, and form of agreement was
drawn up for the directors to affix the
signatures of seven members of the board
Six have signifed their willingness to sign
the agreement, but one positively says he
will not sign, and as he is the largest stock
holder of the company he has prevailed up
on the other directors to act with him. There
is considerable feeling manifested tonight
among many business men at the stand
taken by the New England Company on the
belief that the matter was settled Thirty
workmen Of the Ne-T England Iron Works,
who were ordered out at the time of the cut
down, returned to work yesterday. They
will quit work again on Monday. The
knights are considerably surprised at the
action of the directors, and state tonight
that they will not return to work until the
agreement is signed by every director of the
New England Ship-Building Company.
When that is done 225 men, who have been
unemployed for three weeks, will return to

A Gloomy outlook in Ireland for the

The Scenes of 1880 and g Likely
to be Repeated.

LONDON, Oct. Fittings are undoubtedly
getting hot in Ireland. Outrages are not yet
perceptibly on the increase, but the landlords
are continuing, generally speaking, to press
for their rack-rents and to proceed to ex-
tremities in the matter of evietions, while
the ten ants, on the other hand, are combin-
ing to resist them more after the fashion of
1880 and 1881 than has been the case for the
last few years. Within the last week several
very cruel evictions have been carried out in
various parts of the country, and in scores
of other places the public buildings, such as
court houses, police barracks, churches and
schools, are decorated all over with fresh
eviction notices, the intended victims being
always. men or women who have been
crushed down by Infamous rack-rents and
are now hopelessly impoverished. There is
a general feeling that the whole resources of
the country at the command OF the National
League should be used to support these poor
people and I'll the money that will be col
lected for the next year in Ireland for the
league will BE devoted to their relief.
The chief secretary has gone to Dublin,
and has already had those interviews with
landlord magistrates which usually .precede
what is termed vigorous action. 1t is not at
all impossible that the National League will
be soon proclaimed, without waiting for
law to put it down.
The government is put into very ugly fix

the body who could not be said to be a de-

Affairs in Kerry are in statu quo. Gen.
Butler is making no progress whatever. Inc
more the recent encounter between the po-
lice and party of alleged moonlighters is
examined, the clearer it becomes that the
police, and not the suspected criminals,
were the guilty parties, and fired without
cause.
In England, interest in the Irish question
is visibly increasing. The Radical leaders
are taking steps to have campaign in de-
fence of Gladstone's policy.

THE rHErIs WINS AGAIN.
The Cutter Stranger Defeated In a
Race Off MarbIehead.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Oct. 2.-The first of
a series of races between the Thetis and the
English cutter Stranger was sailed off Mar
blehead today the course being 10 miles to
leeWard and return The conditions of wind
and water were excellent from start to finish.
The start was made at II .01, both yachts be-
ing handicapped. The wind was then blow
ing about seven miles per hour. The two
rivals Immediately spread all their canvas,
and as they sailed down the bay presented a
scene Of unusual beauty. The Thetis at
once took the lead with the Stranger close
upon her heels During the next hour the
wind increased, until the yachts had all they
wanted with light sails aloft.
At 1890 the wind was so heavy that both ves-
sells were obliged to take in ballon jb, spin
the finish only lower sssails working topsails
were carried. AS they neared the outer stake
boat the race was exceedingly close, the The
tbs slightly leading, and the turn was made
as follows: Thetis 1.11.00, Stranger 112.50
The Stranger had gained on the Thetis about
40 seconds on Is mile run, as she was
. min. 80 sec. behind on the start.
AT 4.30 the yachts were standing under
Marblehead Rock. At 3.41 the Thetis
tackled again, and in another second she was
around the rock and flying for the line. A
minute later the Stranger came in stays and
followed, but the Thetis had too much of a

actual time was 4.45.10; corrected time,
4.45.10. The Strangers actual time, 4.50.33;

The Stranger allowed the Thetis one min

Hall next Wednesday evening with the

will appear here in the Ideal Company this
season is Mile. Zelie de Lussan, who created
such good impression last year. OF a con-
versation between a reporter and Mile. de
Lussan last Saturday the following is given:
'Are you pleased with the role of Maria in
Donizetti's opera?"
''Yes, / am delighted with it; you see it
not only gives me chance to sing just the
music like. but there's an opportunity to
wear some lovely dresses, and, If you knew
enough to appreciate their beauties, would
tell you all about them. Men never do show
any appreciation of such things. But as to
the role of Maria, hope to make as great a
success of it as did in the same composers
L'Elisere d d'Amore.' which the Ideals give
as 'Adina,' version of the old opera made
by Mr.. Oscar We'll. We have not su lg it in
this section of the country yet but it is to
be given during our visit to Portland this
week The Adina of our version cor
responds to the old opera which was sung
in this country for the first time in many
years during Manager Mapleson's season OF
iSS3-S4, with Nine. Gerster as the Adlna. |
feel sure eastern audiences will enjoy the
old opera as the Ideals give it, The music of
the role of Adina just suits my voice, and
then ! have an opportunity to introduce a
beautiful song, Sweetheart written for me
by A. l.. Powell. 'Adina and Victor or
the Blue Stocking were the great nits Of

Getting Out OF
a Bad Box !!

Last Spring Ira F. Clark, the clothing dealer at
482 CONGRESS street, announced that he would
give $500 90 worth of presents to his patrons,
one-haf during the spring months, the balance
this fall. He soon found that he had bigger job
on hand than he had anticipated To answer the
thousand and one questions; to keep an accurate
register of the patrons names and numbers; to
look over thousands of guess slips every month !;
to ascertain who the lucky twenty-five were that
award the prizes, required more time than Mr..
Clark could profltably spare. his increasing busi-
ness requiring all his time and energy. By en-
gaging an extra clerk he managed to get through
the first half of the year. The other $4,000
worth OF presents originally intended for the fall
distribution will be disposed of in an other way,
It being Mr.. Clarks intention to retire from this
branch of the business, but in so doing he pro-
poses TO do the greatest amount of good to the
largest number of people. His plan is this: For
two days, the dates to be annouced later, he Will
sell any or all of the goods intended for presents
at the wholesale cost price. They consist of
ard manufacture, and will be on exhibition at his
store 4S2 Congress street, prior to the sale. All
goods remaining at the close OF the second day
will be disposed of at auction the day following,
The entire proceeds of the three days sale is to be
distributed as follows: 5000 will be given to a
committee as a fresh air fund.- and next summer a
days outing will be given the poor children of
Portland. The balance will be divided into six

BASE BALL.
The New England League.

PORTLANDs, IA; LAwRENCEs, 4.
The game Saturday between the Portlands
and Lawrences was as decisive victory for
the Portlands as their most ardent admirers
could have wished. The Portlands piled up
IA runs and made no fielding errors, while
their opponents made but four runs. Chand-
ler's Band was present and gave one of their
best concerts in honor of the winners of the
pennant, while the management made base
ball holiday for the small boys who have
been outside on the lookout for stray balls
at every game this season, by admitting them
to the grounds free of charge.
The band made great hit in the second
inning. Hurley's hands were very sore,
and he became unable to catch. Captain
Cox ordered Grady to go behind the bat, but
he wouldn't. Then Cox ordered Burns to
get behind the bat The discussion over this
change occupied considerable time, and when
Chandler struck up the old tune, "Oh, dear !!
What Can the Matter Be?" the crowd ap-
preciated the point. The change resulted in
Grady's leaving the field, Burns going be-
hind the bat and new man, Hassett, taking
Grady's place. The noticeable plays of the
game were Shoeneck's pick up of low
throw, Wheelock's stop of an apparently
safe hit, and Kearns' unassisted double play.
The following is the score:

THE LEWISTON STRIKE.
TWO Hundred Persons Still Out of
Employment.

LEWISTON, Oct. 2.--The strike at Cowan's
wooden mill in this city remains unchanged.
The weaverS are very determined, and pos
itively refuse to return to work without the
discharge of John Doughty, the alleged DOM
ineering and insulting overseer. A meeting
was held today in the Knights of Labor
Hall, where their grievances were presented.
Several ladies gave testimony to the effect
that DoughtYkad been very abusive towards
them.
Doughty has written for scab weavers.
Several arrived, but, seeing the condition OF
affairs, refused to work and left the city.
Among other things Doughty is charged
with cheating the help in measuring the
number of yards and in various other ways.
According to the numerous charges, Dough-
ty, it would seem, is ruthless tyrant. Mr..
Co wan refuses positively to discharge
Doughty, and believes that he has been i'm
posed upon.
The strike of the weayers has occasoned
the shutting down of the entire mill, and
thrown about 200 people out of employment.
