Accidentally or Otherwise,

Lawrence Otey. white man residing in
Manchester. about noon yesterday. while
intoxicated. inflicted upon his right thigh
a severe wound, from which he bled very

timation that was received of the occur
renee by the bystanders was when Otey
was noticed to stagger forward. as though
about to fall. Then 1t was discovered that
he was covered with blood. and several
gentlemen rushed to his assistance. He
VAS carried into the Office OF DIR. f. c.
Smith, near by. where his wound was
dressed. The ambulance was 'phoned for,
and he was removed to the hospital.
He can give no explanation OF the &C.
currence. saying he has no recollection of
1t other than the painful physical one.

FIRE ON THE PORTLAND.
A Small Blaze was Extinguished
Quietly and Promptly.

The Passengers Were Not Aroused and
Few Knew About 1t Until 1t Was
Over-The Steamer Was Off Cape Por-
poise.
When the fine new steamer Portland of
the Boston line was off Cape Porpoise, on
her way to Portland, yesterdayamorning,
fire was discovered in the aft bulkhead,
or partition, of the gentlemen's cabin.
Waterman st. Clair first smelled the
smoke, but as fire was at that time be-
ing built in the stove in the cook galley,
he did not at first suspect anything
wrong. Very soon, however. he saw that
the smoke was of different kind, being
dry and pungent, as when pine ceiling
burns. He very promptly called Captain
Snowman, who called all hands. The
general fire alarm was not given, as that
would have aroused the passengers. But
the Portland's arrangements for control
ling fire are very perfect, and as soon
as the captain came and the fire was To-
Gated, hole was torn in the bulkhead
and big stream of water was poured
into it. The fire was at once extin-
guished under this drenching, before any
appreciable damage had been done by it.
An investigation showed that the blaze
was caused by the breaking of an electric
light wire, the sparks setting the wood
work afire. Few Of the passengers were
awakened
