Captain Forth attempted TO tow the

The sporting man who IL making the
$4,000 bet on Fitzsimmons' ability TO
defeat Corbett is said TO be James Kelly,
of the tirm OF Kelly & Bliss, the we'll

Kelly is said to have some information

Mmmons cannot lose. While Mr.. Kelly's

not to bet more than 800, 600, they were
notified last night that their commissions
were unlimited nnd 20 accept all Corbett's
money that showed.

After the regular meeting of the city
government Monday night the city coun-
Gil assembled to discuss plans for the
annual ball game between the Portland
city government and the Boston city
fathers. This ball game is looked for
ward to with great deal of pleasure by
the officials of both cities and last year
the outings of both city governments were
largely attended and much enjoyed. A
few days ago City Messenger Leary of
Boston was in this city for the purpose of
making arrangements for the game AL
deman Kehoe who SO successfully man.
aged the games between the two city
governments last year, met Mr.. Leary
and discussed the matter with him. At
the conference on Monday night it was
decided to hold the ball game with the
Boston people in Portland the last week
in July and the Portland city fathers
will go to Boston to play the return game
on the first week in August.
Last year the Portland city government
did not stand a ghost of show on the
diamond with the Boston men, but it is
said that since the Boston game Alder
man Kehoe has been practicing pitching
and trying his curves on any one whom
he could get to face him and the result
will be an eye opener to the Boston men
when they finally cross bats with the
Portland people.

Fireboat Mon Want a Night Off.

People along the water front think that
the men on the fireboat are not being
treated quite fairly by the committee on
fire department The other members Of
the fire DEPARTMENT. or at least the per-
manent men who are attached to the EN-
CINE houses up town, are allowed an occa-
sional night off in order that they may
have some time to spend at their homes.
The men on the fireboat do not have this
night off and are obliged to stay by their
boat from one weeks end to another
without regular day off duty. They
get their vacations, it is true. but the per-
sons who have been talking about the
matter lately do not think that the trea t.
ment of the fireboat crew is quite fair.
Thoy claim that the freboat crew should
have at least one night off during the
weeks the same as the other permanent
men in the. department.

AN EXTENSIVE DOCKET.
Lively Times Ahead for Police Court This
Morning.

Today's session of the Municipal court
will be lively one. Judge Robinson
has cases enough scheduled to come before
him to keep him pretty well occupied for
nearly all the forenoon and there is a
good possibility of the courts continuing
in session late in the afternoon
About two weeks ago, so the story goes,
Festus McDonough got into an argument
with Martin Joyce and the result was a
row. 1t is said that one of the Joyce
faction held McDonough while Martin
Joyce bit through McDonough's lip with
his teeth. Afterwards, SO it is said, Nc.
Donough waited for Joyce and laid him
out with a club. just who started the
row or who was to blame for it the court
will have to decide today.
McDonoagh was arrested on complaint
Of Joyce and will be the prisoner on trial
this morning. McDonough has retained
able council and will fight his case to the
bitter end. McDonough blames Joyce for
the trouble and has sworn out warrant
against him.
Another family row which will end in
the attendance of a good part of Middle
and Fore streets this morning is the
trouble between man named Sandusky
and a man named Taylor. 1t is stated
that the row started over tbs sum OF
eighty cents which one of the men
claimed was owed him by the other. San
dusky claims that Taylor struck him and
has had him arrested for assault The
other brings counter charges. In this case
the best legal talent has been retained
and the case will be fought to finish.
Then there is another assault case in
which two women are involved and
several other cases of more or less interest
will be heard.

IMMENSE FoRTlFlcATIoNs.
Portland VIII Be Well Protected in Case
of War.

Over four hundred men are now EN-.
ployed on the Notifications at Fort Preble
and the contractor is working day and
night crews in order to complete his con.
tract within the specified time. In &C.
cordance with he regulations of the Wan
Department, strangers are not allowed tc
visit the works and this rule is religious
ly lived up to. But passers by can see the
big mound of earth growing in size day
by day and by this can form some idea of
the magnitude of the work that is being
done.
The work at Great Diamond island on
the defences at that spot are also being
rushed onward at railroad speed and great
progress is being made. In event of a
foreign war Portland would not be SC
badly off in point of defense as are some
of the other cities on the Atlantic sea-
board.
