MASSACHUSETTS WILL SAIL TO-DAY,
The Big Battleship Leaves Early in the
Morning for Boston.

The battleship Massachusetts, will
probably sail for Boston at an early hour
this morning and will proceed at once to
Boston. Yesterday the ship was visited
by hundreds of people and during her
stay in this port it is estimated that fully
10000 people have been out to see her.
She has proved an object lesson to those
who have not before had an opportunity
of seeing one of Uncle Sans fighting
machines, and her coming to Portland
will have great deal to do with influence
ing public opinion in this state in favor
of few more magnificent ships just like
her. During the stay of the Massachu-
setts is this port her officers and crew
have made many pleasant acquaintance
and haye created very favorable i'm
preston.
On her arrival in Boston the Massachu-
setts will take on board section of the
Massachusetts, Naval militia who will
have week of duty on board of her.

A BLUE JACKET BADLY HURT.
Fell Off Wharf and Sustained Sewer
Injuries.

At about II O'Clock last night William
Mcclure, a seaman of the battleshfp
Massachusetts met with severe, if not
fatal injury on Marston's wharf, which
is a little above Custom House wharf. He
was with his shipmates standing on the
edge of the wharf, and it is supposed that
he must have been intoxicated, for he fell
over the edge of the pier, and in falling
struck his back against the stone abut-
ment He was fished out of the water by
his shipmates and was found to be suffer-
ing intense pain. The police station was
notifed.and an ambulance sent for by
Deputy Marshal Sterling, who ordered the
man to be taken to the Maine General
hospital. At the hospital last night it
could not be ascertained just how badly
Mcclure was hurt but it is feared that he
may have sustained such severe injury to
his spine that he may not recover.
Deputy Sterling notified the commander
of the Massachusetts of the accident and
1t was decided that as the battleship sails
early this morning for Boston that Nc
CURE should remain at the hospital if he
were not able to be taken on board the
ship at day light.
