National League, but Lewiston claims
a prior claim. Murphy played with
Lewiston, Saturday night, but he
didn't come up to expectations. Man
ager Burnham has simply been saved
the expense and humiliation of an
other experiment. Portland
and Lewiston have had a lively dispute
about Murphy, late Of the Salems. both
teams claiming the right to his ser-
vices. Lewiston finally triumphed, only
to find in Saturday nights game that
the aforesaid Murphy was no earthly
use. And now Portland is welcome to
him.
Well, wasn't it a great game? 1t was
a hard fought. brilliantly contested
struggle between the two leading
teams in the league. 1t was a contest
where the under dog was not expected
to wag his tail at all, but the canine
can now have a bone yard all to him
self and few bones beside. Every
body expected that the leaders would
win the game. Even the tin horn
sports came into the Rockland's dress
ing room and talked with Joe Foster
History may repeat itself once but
not often twice.-Portand Argus
Well. well! well! Where, oh where
are those tin horn sports who were so
loudly protesting a few days ago that
the Portland polo team has been going
to the dogs for the last three weeks.
They are not to be found, this morn
ing. and the colors of the Portland polo
team are flying from the main royal
mast and are nailed there at that
Portland Press. AS the most of the
kicking against the Portland team has
been in the Press and Argus. the above
is very peculiar reading. But such is

FIRE At BOSTON.
Exploding Cartridges Raise Ned in Boston
Gunstors.

Boston, Feb. ia brisk fire In 0
sporting goods store on Cornhill. in the
downtown district. made things quite
lively for a time last night, especially
when two heavy explosions of sunpow-
der shook the neighborhood and caused
a general and indiscriminate shower Of
cartridges, rifles. revolvers, knives. de.
coy ducks. boxing gloves and other
sporting goods upon the firemen and
interested SPECTATORS.
The fire was on the first floor of the
i-story brick building at II Cornhill. oc-
cupied by w. Shafer & Sons, sporting
goods. Two alarms were quickly rung
in, but the fire made very rapid head
way through the building. Before the
firemen arrived. perfect storm of ex-
p.oding cartridges was falling, and,
strange to say, nobody was seriously
hurt. Just az the second alarm cana in,
heavy explosion Of gunpowder
knocked over large crowd Of people
who were standing in front of the build.
ing. and then followed a shower OF glass
and merchandise. A few minutes later
much heavier explosion came. and the
big plate windows in McArthur's fur
niture store across the street were shat
tered and the furniture on exhibition
badly cut up by rifles and revo.vers,
while in the windows of the clothing
frm of Leopold Morse. the mems fur
nishings were mixed up with boxing
gloves. knives and decoy ducks. Win
dows in other buildings on both sides Of
Cornhill and Brattle street were blown
in, and the force of the explosion was
felt fully half a mile away. An idea of
the force of the explosion was shown
when a massive office chair went sail
Ing through the air and landed on the
opposite side of the street. The John
p. Lowell Arms company, next 10 the
Shafer store. had its windows cleaned
out, while their stock is heavils DAM
aged by water.
The fire spread very rapidly, owing to
the combustible nature of the stock, and,
although the firemen worked rapidly,
the block in which Shafer & Sons were
tenants was badly Quilted. The other
occupants of the building were: The
Green Watch company. ReilIcy Medal
company and the Ross Elevator Guard
company
The total loss to all parties will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000, of which
about $1,000 will be on plate glass " in
dows. 1t is said that. with the excep-
ton of the glass. the property was full
~ insured. A detailed account of the
damage done cannot be made. as It is
impossible to determine how badly
shaken the Shaefer building is, and the
effect of the explosion on other build
ings. The fire loss to William Shaefer
& Sons will probably reach 81, 900.

GREECE AFTER CRETE.
Greek Squadron Lands Forces on Island to
Oppose the Turks.

London, Feb. IA dispatch to The
Italian foreign Office has received a tele
gram to the effect that the Greek squad
ron has landed arms and ammunition
near Retimo. If this report is verified.
the Italian chamber will be again con-
vcked and the general elections will be
postponed. Orders were issued WedneS-
day for the immediate concentration Of
the entire active Italian fleet at Naples.
The first division of the feet VIII sail
for Crete today, under command of Adj
niral Canevaro.
A dispatch to the Standard from Con-
stantinope gives additional details con-
corning the note of the sublime porte
to the powers, protesting against their
Intervention in Cretan affairs, and the
present attitude of Greece. The sultan
calls upon the powers 10 stop the Greek
enCouIa cement of Cretan revolution
lists, and announces that, unless this is
done, the Turkish government will be
compelled to send troops to restore or
der.
The Berlin correspondent of The Daily
News says that an Athens telegram has
been received announcing that 100 refu-
gees are nov. in q miserable condition on
the Island of Milos, as the result of the
exodus from Crete. SO great is the de-
mand for transportation that trans
port steamers have been unable to pro-
vide sufficient accommoda lions.
According to The Daily News, the
newspaper Hectia accuses Mussulmans
of throwing bombs into tho Christia N
quarters. and the Turkish soldiers of be-
heading women and children
Athens, Feb. 1.-THE torpedo hotilla,
commanded by Prince George of Greece,
started yesterday for Crete to join the
Greek squadron now in the vicinity of
the island. The prince admitted that
his orders were to prevent by every
means possible the landing of Turkish
troops on the Island of Crete.
The news that the prince was about to
leave for Crete spread like wildfire
throughout the city, and created pro-
found sensation. An immense crowd
gathered in front of the department of
marine and foreign affairs. and repeat
edly cheered while Prince George was
in conference with the ministers. The
prince received his final orders from the
king personally. The parting between
the prince and his father was very af-
fecting.
A dispatch received here from the ISL
and of Crete says that the Mussulmans
have set fire to the town of Retimo in
several places, and that the Greek
squadron is proceeding from Canea to
Retimo.

Manager Burnham of Portland, has

ElnIr of Nuna neTaafAfl

London, Feb. la dispatch from the
west coast of Africa, dated Jan. &c, says
that the Royal Niger company's ex-
redition against the Emir of Nupe en-
gagged in big battle which lasted from
sunrise to sunset on that date, the
british column driving their Fulah
enemies before them. It is estimated
that the followers of the Emir of Nupe
numbered at least 10000. The British
calvary and infantry were stationed on
the ridge in front of Bida. The Fulafs
sent out thanking brigades for the pur-
pose of cutting off the British artillery
which was following in the rear. The
British advance column formed a square
the Maxim rapid firing guns being
stationed at the corners. The Fulah
forces charged repeatedly, but were
mown down and failed to touch the
square. Seven nine and 12-pound guns
at this juncture arrived and assisted
the troops formed in the square, the men
in command of the guns having fought
their way from the rear and bombarled
the retreating masses of the enemy
fnflicting heavy losses. Darkness then
stopped the action. Lieutenant Thorn.
son Of the Leicestershire regiment was
the only European hurt.

was destroyed by fire, last Saturday,
and from all appearances it is thought
to have been the work of an incen-

the affair is being investigated and it

made to settle.

Augusta had an unfortunate defeat in

undeserved. 1t was a mixed-up game. II
ever there was one. and the Augusta
fouls were of a decidedly peculiar de-

these two cases he literally knitted Au-

reception on his appearance. on account
of the excellent reputation he has made

was obviously no foul.
On the other nand. DR. Saul was
prompt in seeing fouls on Portland. and
while he called no unjust ones he kept
them playing the game as it should be,
period which was richly deserved; The
fight was hot around Augustus goal The
