Fire on Exchange Street.

Yesterday noon smoke was seen issuing
from the basement Of the store at the corner
of Exchange and Fore streets, occupied by
j. w. Peterson, tho produce and news deal
er. A still alarm was sent in, but for some
reason failed to work, and then au alarm
was accidentally pulled in from the boxes
confusing the department so that it was
ten minutes before the engines arrived.
Little damage was done by fire. but smoke
and water may make quite loss, as Mr..
Peterson had large stock of books and
fancy goods in the second story. The amount
of loss is not yet known.
Mr.. Peterson had $500 insurance on
stock, $1500 in the Norwich Union and $1,000
in the Security with Morse, Pinkham g. Co..
and values his stock at $4,000. The building
is owned by the heirs of Jonathan Tewks-
bury, and there is $1,000 in the Meriden with
Morse, Pinkham & Co., and $1,000 in the
Phoenix of London, with W. d. Little &
Sons.
The question was asked at the fire what
had become of the Auxiliary Fire Alarm
Company, organized some time ago. 1t was
thought that If thatbad been in operation no
confusion of alarms could have occurred.

fine programme for the days sports will be
prepared, and prizes of enough value to ex-
cite competition will be given. Among the
races will be boys race, open to all, and all
the youngsters should get to work practic-
ing at once.
There will be a race for the league cham
pionship of the State, three mile race, a
safety race and several others. Under the
laws of the league the ordinary and safety
bicycles must run their races separately. in
order to save danger to the riders.
The date has not been positively settled as
yet, but it will occur in the neighborhood of
September 20. A great deal of interest is
felt in these races, and a large attendance
and numerous entries will be the result The
track will be put in fine condition, and the
race will be hot from start to finish.
Chief Consul Dow of this city, has the
matter in hand, and the wheelmen can rest
assured that nothing for their comfort and
convenience will be forgotten.

A LIVELY COLLISION.
The Tug Salem Badly Smashed BY
the Schooner Phillips.
A Very Narrow Escape fer the Off
GERS and Crew.

Yesterday afternoon the tug Salem, Capt
Matthews, went above the Portland bridge
TO tow the large four-masted schooner Mabel
Phillips out to sea. After the tug had at
tached itself to the schooner, and Capt. Mat
thews was about TO have the lines cast off
from the wharf, he found. from the set and
flow of the tide, that the schooner could not
let go with safety to the tug, until the tug
had attained different position. He accord
ingly called out to the officer in charge of the
deck to hold the schooner, i. e., not to cast off
the last line with which the schooner was
held to the wharf.
The officer on the schooner failed to obey
Capt. Matthews, but cast off the line I'M
mediately the great vessel came plunging
down on the tug. and, before the craft could
be got out of the way, the schooner's jib-
boom struck her upper works. AS the Off
GERS and crew of the Salem saw that the
schooner must strike them they ran from the
pilot-house and also flom other quarters to
the after part of the vessel. 1t was 4 won
der none of them were killed or injured. The
captain had a very narrow escape as he ran
from the pilot-house, for the jib-boom, as 1t
Struck. knocked the pilot-house. tearing 1t all
to pieces, leaving the roof but staving the
siies out. aud giving the gilt eagle that was
perched on its front such a twist that the
proud bird was turned into the most sickly
looking fowl imaginable, with an awful
black eye where the gliding should have been.
The blow also cleaned out the smoke stack,
exhaust end whistle, and swept the deck ait.
Fortunately no part of the engine room or
hull suffered from the collision.
AS soon as possible the tug was got under
o)ntrol and was brought down TO Long wharf,
where she was lying late in the afternoon,
looking as If she had been on a six weeks
spree. The schooner was but little hurt.

her parents, j. l.. PARROT, Esq, and home
