HELD Blythe FINGERS.
The Cook of the Nellie j Dinsmore Terri
bly, Pinched-The Boom Fell on the Cap
tain.

The damage to the sails and rigging
was not the only injury sustained on
the Nellie ]. Dinsmore while anchored
in the trough of the sea, offEBroad Cove,
Tuesday afternoon. When the topping
lift of the fore boom broke, the boom
fell on top of Captain Dodge. That he
should have escaped alive was a miracle.
The crew rushed to,his aid and expected
to find him dead. but luckily he was
struck a glancing blow and simply
knocked down and half stunned. Re
was taken in to the cabin and was soon
able to go on deck again. The cook
experienced very peculiar anda painful
accident. The shrouds were so loosened
by the constant rolling of the vessel that
they hung away from the mast and gun
vale when the vessel tip ped, and where
they pass over the rail, the heavy block
OF wood would separate from the rail-,
leaving space between. OF course when
the vessel tipped the other way the stays
would tighten, and the block be pressed
close against the rail and with tremen-
dous force. The cook didn't think of
this, and grasped the rail when the
shrouds were loose. When the ship
rolled and the shrouds frightened, the
cook was caught by the ends of the fing-
ers, like a mink in steel trap, only
more SO. He had to endure the terrible
agony caused by his crushed fingers till
the ship had rolled over and back again,
and the shrouds were loosened. The ends
of his fingers were almost fattened, AID
are of course in very painful condition.
The schooner was pumped out yesterday.
and will be towed to Gardiner as soon
asher rigging is repaired. The large
quantity of water i'll her was due not
only to the leaking but because the deck
was ripped open by the swaying of the
masts, and when a sea came aboard, the
water went down through the cracks.

St James Day.

Yesterday was the day of St. James
the Great the patron saint of Spain.
There is vulgar saying that whoever
eats oysters on St. James day will never
want money Apples were blest on this
day and in the manual of the Church
of Sarum there is d special form of ben
ediction. In Kent, England, the rector
of Cliff used to distribute on St. James
day mutton pie and loaf to as many
as desired. And here is saw as squint-
eyed as any Delphic oracle;
It'll St. James Day be come and gone,
You may have hope and you may have
none.n
Yesterday was also the day of St.
Christopher and the beautiful legend is
familiar to all. Mr.. II. W. Parker, now

cal composition of long breath with the

story has already been set TO music by

A BRUTAL PRIZE FIGHT.
Local T0ughs Engage in a LaWless
Sport.

The Ring Was at Trundy's sReef-A Mans
Arm Was Broken-Other Fighters
Badly Pounded Money
Involved
Last week Mike Daley, the Bangor
pugilist, came to this city in yacht with
some companions. Yesterday afternoon
there was one of the worst prize fights at
Trundy's reef that Maine has been dis
graoed with for long time. Mike Daley
was there though he did not take part.
Whether he and his companions came from
Bangor to this fight. whether his
presence here brought it about, whether
it would have come off anyway, we cannot
say. 1t seems that there has been recently
new member in Gorham's Corner tough
circles, known as TERRY the Mick" though
his name is Mike Flaherty. He is a stranger
here and has acquired same reputation in
fistic circles. But one Jerry Kenran of this
city, had made good deal of talk to his
ability to whip the stranger, and thus the
prize fight was arranged, and the whole
thing was secretly planned and successfully
carried out.
Yesterday at about one o'clock, about
forty sports from Portland and elsewhere,
had assembled on Trundy's reef IN a small
open vale between the Spruces. on the edge
of the rocky shore. All the open spaces be-
tween the trees weresflled in with cut fir
boughs, so that nothing might be visible
from the street. Some of the party came
from Portland and others came by water
with Mike Daley in his yacht.
The first fight was between Sam Curey of
Libbytown, andsTom Sylvestersof New York.
After round OF two Curey's arm was
broken near the wrist, by bow from
Sylvester. He fought about another round
in his disabled condition, and then the
crowd induced the combattants to desist.
But the real centre of interest was in the
next event-the long waited fight between
Terry, the Mick (the unknown and Jerry
Kenran. Both men were of course stripped
to the waist. They used gloves sthat were
smaller than the ordinary boxing gloves, but
larger than those used in professional fights.
Mike Barry, the local pugilist, was second
for Terry, the Mick, and Ed. Clarity for
Kenran, John Simmonds, of Dockstader's
minstrels, was referee.
There was a prize of $500 involved. The
betting was two to one in favor of Kenran.
In fact, the crowd was SO sure that the IN
known would be whipped thar they had
brought a sponge full of ink or tar, where
with to blacken his face. They proposed to
have more fun with him after his defeat.
The first round was about even.
In the second, Terry, the Mick. had de-
cidedly the best of it.
In the third he knocked out Kenran COM
pletely. The crowd was astonished. The
unknown was clearly second knight of the
black armor His powers were a surprise

A Blaze Last Night,

{ During the thunder storm last night
q fire. was seen that was probably started
by lightning. The fire was evidently ON
the Falmouth Foreside, or on one of the
lower islands. No particulars could be
learned.
The electrical display was fine, but
the telegraph lines were somewhat
troubled The storm was severe about
Boston, and between Boston and Buffa-
10 all the wires were sabled. q
1t was reported by the officers of the
last steamer up that the blaze was on
Long Island. The storm developed
enough electricity to burn out the fuse
at the power house of the electric rail
road. and for a short time all the cars
were stalled.

THE WHEELMEN ESCAPED.

Officer st. John, of Deering, had
a peculiar experience recently. Last
Sunday he arrested bicycler on the
sidewalk in Deering, and Immediately
after arrested another, summoning them
to appear in court. But they have not
appeared. 1t seems that the first one
was Boston man. He gave fictitious
name and address in Portland, and the
next day went Off home to Boston. The
other man was also visitor in this
city. He gave the right name and the
address where boarding. Then he
changed his boarding place and that is

AN INTERESTING COMPARISON.
Advantage of the Street Commission Over
the Old System.

The following figures comparing the ex-
penditures for the street department and
the results of such expenditures for 1898 and
1S49, speak volumes for the difference be-
tween the old system of a committee on
streets and the present system of street
commission. With totals but slightly larger
this year than last, the results are tremend-
ous1y larger.

WmEELlxo, W. Va, Nov. 18.-The big
fight Of the United States Glass Com
pany against its employees, the Flint
Glass Workers Union, has been on
eighteen months, and, as far as the two
factions OF the company in this city are
concerned, nothing has transpired to
give either side any idea OF the general
intentions OF the other. Now, however,
II is certain that the company will at.
tempt to start factory o in this city. A
Press man was informed by one Of the
company's officers that the factory will
be running by the first OF the year.
This plant is one OF the best in the
combine, and should non-union mon be
braught hare there will surely be
