LEWISTON QUITS THE GAME.
Base Ball Association Of That City
Throws Up the Sponge.
Great Things Are Promised for Next Year
But the Jig is Up for This Season
Slater and Other Players Promised
Job When the Robins Nest Again.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1


Lewiston, August 14.-The Lewiston
baseball Association finally gave up the
ghost today. The players will be paid
in full by Monday and the association
will discharge all of it's obligations and
go out Of business.
The direotorsl offered the players the
free use of the grounds, uniforms and
all the property of the association if they
wished to continue the season on the
cooperative plan. This the members of
the team would do, but unfortunately
Catcher Messit Is SO badly injured that
he will probably not be able to play
for some time.
The men are all greatly pleased at the
manner in which they have been treated
by the association.
Next season ton of the prominent bust
ness men of Auburn and Lewiston are to
form an association with $4,000 capital
and will conduct base ball OH business
principles, asking nothing of the public
except the good will and patronage.
With this end in view Capt. Slater, field
ers Lippert and Fitzmaurice and pitchers
Morse and Williams will be retained for
next season. These men prefer to play
in Lewiston to any other place.
President Isaacson and the directors
have put their hands deep into their
pock cts and have done their best to keep
a team in the league through the season,
but it was found that it could not be
done with out large peouniary loss
ard so after much deliberation 1t was
decided that the only thing left was to
balance the books for this sea son and
let nsw association manage team
another year, if there is New England
League and Lewiston is to bs repra-
sented.

WHAT WILL BE THE OUTCOME?


The Withdrawal of Lewiston and How 1t
Affects Portland
to the PRESS from Lewiston, the base
bali team representing that city has been
disbanded. Whether that means the
obstruction of the lsagus cannot of
course be determined at this writing,
but the prospects are not remarka bly,
brilliant.
Mr.. Murphy took the Portland team
to Massachusetts yesterday, leaving on
the Boston boat. 1t is pretty certain that
had he heard the news from Lewiston
before the boat left, be would not have
gone.
In fact Mr.. Murphy said to the writer
Thur sday that if Lewiston dropped out,
he should not attempt to keep the Port
and team together.
AS the guarantee insures expenses it
is likely that now be is up to Massa-
chusetts he will play the eight games
scheduled there. After that it is hard
to tell what will happen.
OF course with Portland and Lewiston
out of it, the Massachusetts teams won't
be likely to see much money In the long
journey to Bangor.
OF course between then and now some
action may be taken to fill the vacancy
made by the withdrawal of Lewiston.
Mr. M. J. Walsh, who has been asso-
ciated with Mr.. Murphy in the manage
ment OF the team, said last night that he
understood that the team would play its
dates in Massachusetts and would
probably be carried through the rest of
the season, if anyone could be found to
play with.

The Boston Herald calls attention to
an interesting table of fire insurance.
published i'm that city. covering the rec
ord of the leading American and for
oign fire insurance companies for the
last ten years. It appears that during
1895 fifty fires We're reported, each in
volving a loss of more than S225.oO0.
the aggregate loss footing up to, APP
proMmately. S2O695.Oo0.
The broad division made i'm the class
idcation is between American compan-
les and foreign companies doing bust
ness in this country. ON the 31st of
December 1895. the American compan-
les had at risk S13.66o S99.S75. The for
eign companies had at risk at the same
time S5.74921791S. or about 40 per cent
of the amount insured i'm the American
companies. As the aggregates do not
include the amounts at risk insured in
the smaller stock companies that do a
local business. or the amounts i'm the
mutual companies iusuring either mill
property, mercantile property or dwell
ings. or Insurance in companies not au-
thorized 10 do business i'm this country.
it is probably safe to say that the prop
erty insured against fire i'm the United
states cannot fall far short of $4,000
100000.
But large as this amount is. it prob
ably falls far below the true value of
this class of property in the United
States. Within the last two or three
years the fire insurance companies
have realized the necessity of estab-
fishing some ratio OF value upon which
insurance should be based. and the
theory now i'm force is that mercantile
and manufacturing property. including
both buildings and contents, are insur-
ed 10 the extent OF eight-tenths Of their

KING HU,rBERT.S DREAM.

The Italian campaign in Abyssinia
has practically come to a disastrous
end From the beginning it has proved
but a series of costly disasters; and as
a consequence of the latest frightful
failure to cope with Menelek and his
men. King Humberts cabinet has re-
signed in a body.
King Humbert is one of the best of
European monarchs. but he has fallen
a victim to a foolish ambition. The
foolhardincss of this Abyssinian war at
a time when every Ira is needed for
naval and other urgent expenses, ought
to be apparent to the veriest lingo in
Rome. To carry it further can only
result in the bitter humiliation OF Ital-
ian pride. the Acknowledgement of de-
feat and the withdrawal of what troops
are left from Abyssinia. 1t is unlikely.
however. that Humbert will yield,and it
is probable that another attempt to put
lIenolell to- rout Will be undertaken I'M
der new leaders.
But there is another question to take
into consideration in the event of a con-
tinuance of the war How long will
the sorely taxed peasant submit to con-
slant leyies upon his small resources
in order that his ambitious king may
pursue his phantom glory? To-day
The air of Italy is fun of revolution.
Unless Humbert calls a halt in the
counTy's downward march to ruin. he
may have at home a much more serious
task upon his hands than the pursuit
of his Abyssinian dream.

to YOU from the same date. and without
any more ado you may consider your
selves working now for 81 cents per

According 10 Yale Professor The0-
dore s. Woolsey. while recognition of
the Cuban insurgents as belligerents
by this government might give the in
surgents certain secondary war rights
in regard to neurals. it would give
Spain much more important privileges,
among them the right of search. ON the
high seas, the right to blockade Cuban
ports. and immunity from responsible
ity for damages done TO American prop
erty by the insurgents. Spain. the pro-
