MAHER WHIPS CRAIG.
Latter Was favorite But Maher Finished His
lob in Second Round.

BosToN, July 1G.--At Music hall, to-
night, Peter Maher and Frank Craig, "the
coffee cooler" faced each other in a To-
round contest at catchweghts for the gate
receipts. Maher was 20 pounds heavier,
fat and apparently not in irst-class condi-
ton, while Craig was sleek and finely
trained.
In the first round Craig led with his left,
catching Maher on the face and following
it up with heavy right on the jaw that
made him stagger. A mixup followed in
which Craig had the bt st of it. His often
sive work made him a hot favorite, and
Maher was apparently sure victim.
In the second Craig rushed at Maber
forcing him to the ropes. Maner succeeded
in landing some short arm jabs in the
clnch. Craig ducked to escape a blow,
when Maher caught him around the neck
with his left, and had him as
in wise and drove right upper cut
with terrific force on Craig's throat. The
latter dropped to the floor flat on his face,
and being unable to answer the call of time
was counted out. >*.

BosToN, July l6.-Steamboat Stamford,
coming from Plymouth this afternoon, dur
ing dense fog, collided with the British
steamer British Queen (Smith), from Lon
don, anchored. The Stamford received
slight damage from the collision. and con-
tinued on to Boston at quarter speed
When in the vicinity of Long
Island, the steamer Kennebec, for
Bath, suddenly loomed up and before a
collision could be averted she crashed into
the Stamford, striking her on the port side
near the paddle box, cutting through the
guards, tearing away the paddle box and
listing the steamer badly to starboard. The
Kennebec Immediately stopped and put
about to ascertain the extent of the damage
done to the Stamford, but finding that she
was not cut below the water line, proceeded
on her way to Bath. She was apparently
uninjured.
The Stamford had about so passengers
aboard, and thinking the steamer might be
sinking, life preservers were hurriedly ad-
justed. The steamer Gen. Lincoln took
off all the passengers, brought them
to Boston and landed them at Rowe's
wharf. At last reports the Stamford was
beached on Castle island and mattresses,
etc., were washing out of her. The extent
of the injuries are not known, and owing to
the thick fog, little can be learned regard
ing her.
According to the story of passengers on
the steamer Longfellow, from Province
town, that steamer also collided with the
| steamer Stamford. This occurred about I,
near Governors island, in the fog. The
Stamford was badly listed. The Longfel-
low did no damage to the Stamford or her
self. The harbor police say the Stamford
is in no danger.

Seems always to stand at food -'ide,
And the garments lie heaped on each other:
look at them often and sigh,
Shall ever be able to grapple
With pile that has grown two feet high?
There's top lay, always, of stockings;
These arrive and depart every day;
And The things that are playing "button- but

Also leave without any delay.
But all, underneath there are strata
Buried deep as the earths ocene,
Things put there the first of the autumn,
Still there when the trees have grown green!
There are things to be tipped and made over;
There are things..that gave out in their prime,
There are intricate tasks-all awaiting
One magical hour of ''spare time."

But once, for few tleeting moments,
When the baby upset it, last year.
