had won Mr.. Smiths sympathy by his
apparent refinement and FEASIBILITY of
his tale. and repaid his kindness by run

owner left in his charge while he was
buying ticket. When arrested Blair
was about to take Boston and Albany

was found to be wearing several OF the
stolen articles of clothing and jewelry.
A search of the rogues' gallery unearthed
his photograph, showing him to have
been arrested in 1893 at Willim antic,
Conn, as Lawrence P. Graham, alias
George Henderson Irving, sneakthief
and forger, and was then sent to state
prison for two and one-half years,

suit. Bottle was German about 10 years
of age and rated as second carpenter.
The coroner was notified.

Press Cyclers Race.

Boston, June 19-The benefit race meet
for the Press Cycling club international
racing team was held at Charles River park
track this afternoon and was deserving of
greater patronage than it received. There
were several star attractions and some
fast racing The Butler boys captured
the lion S share of the "Pro'' prizes but
Nat was forced to lower his colors to lit
tie Frank and Arthur Porter in the open,
and in the handicap he finished third, the
long mark men running away. Ellery
Blake won against the star of the anna
teurs, winning both events, while Fish
captured second in one and third in an
other, and Jimmy Clark did likewise,
SO that it can be said that six prizes in
the amateur events were divided between
three men.
The event of the afternoon was the at
tempt of Jimmy Michael to lower the one
mile track record of one minute, 46 Sec

He made the distance in 1.5O 49,

A Fight Between Seamen that May Re
suit in Murder.

New Bedford, Mass, June ia seri-
Gus stabbing ARRAY took place here to-
night. Capt. Patrick Curran of the fish
ing schooner Maud Gertrude of Provi-
dence, had trouble with Steward Jeffer-
son Puerreo, who left the vessel to join an
other. The captain is said to have as
saulted the steward with pair of oars,
making a dangerous wound over the
eye. One of the crew of the vessel, John
Mullen, took the steward in a dory and
rowed him to the dock that he might go
to the central police station and swear
out q warrant against the captain for
assault and battery. The captain inter
cepted them at the landing place with an
iron bar with which he, it is said,
struck Mullen several blows, and then
dropping the bar, proceeded to finish his
man with his fists. Mullen, being a
small man, drew out q jacknife with
which he defended himself, and with
this he made three bad cuts on Capt
Curran, two in the side and one in the
leg. Mullen was arrested and Curran
was taken to St. Luke's hospital in the
police ambulance. The wounds in his
side are considered so dangerous that
Lieut.. Jones of the police force took
Mullen to the hospital so Curran might
identify him as his assailant. He was
then taken to the Central police station
and locked up. DR.. Hough, who attended
Capt. Curran, say that one of the cuts
in his side penetrated the lungs and
that the captains recovery is extremely
doubtful.

Baseball Notes.

The Portlands do not play here again
until Friday.
DIESEL record at short Friday will
probably stand as the record of the league
for the rest of this season at any rate.
Umpire Carpenter gets more good no.
tices from the newspapers than any of the
Maine staff.
Motz of Lewiston stands over six feet
three.
McDougal is doing good work for Taun-
ton. The boy is all right if given a
show.
The attendance at Lewiston is the least
encouraging OF any city in the league.
Fitzpatrick of Rockland is generally
considered to be the best second baseman
in the league.
Pawtucket will give Black a trial who
was released by Belfast.
Young Edgar is now catching good ball
for Lewiston and using the stick to ad-
vantage.
Frank Fennelly who captained the Fall
River team the first year it was in the
New England league and who played in
Portland short time, is umpiring in the
New England league.
| Waterville Mail: The captain of the
Augusta baseball team did what he could
on Wednesday to injure the chances of
success for the Maine league by allowing
his men to leave the field rather than to

umpire on question as to whether the
Augusta pitcher threw ball or a strike
to Portland batter. The action of the
Augusta captain calls attention to one of
the worst features of professional base.

HOPE FOR ooRHAM.
The Railroad Case to Be Taken to the
Courts.


Augusta, June 19-In the famous case
where the railroad commissioners re-
fused to locate an electric railroad known
as the Portland extension railroad, from
Westbrook to Gorham, an appeal has
been taken from their decision to the
Supreme court under the law passed last
winter.
The law was amendatory of the
much discussed statute making the
railroad commissioners a court of last
resort in such. cases. The amendment
provided for an appeal not only from
future decisions, but from decisions rem
dered prior to the passage of the act. 1t
is under that class of case that the Cor.
ham line comes.
Governor Powers approved the act
on March %, so the time limit was nearly
up when the appeal was filed.

YOUNG HEROES.
One Died While Trying to Save
Friend

East Medford, Mass. June 19.-George
Bullens, aged Is, this afternoon saved one
of his companions, Samuel Phillips, aged
10, from drowning and would have saved
the other John Montgomery. aged IA, if
the Mystic had not been so wide. Young
Montgomery gave up his life in an at
| tempt to rescue Phillips.
Shortly before 1 o'clock Montgomery,
Bullens and Phillips rowed up the river
in dory on their return from little
fishing trip. They landed on the "beach"
at the end of Fosters court, undressed
and getting into the boat again pulled out
| into the middle of the river and COM
menced to dive. The sport Went on lner-
rily for some time and finally the cory
was hauled ashore and the young fellows
started to swim across to the other bank.
| Montgomery started first to cross with
| Phillips and both had nearly succeeded
when Phillips was taken with exhaustion
and called for help. Montgomery, 700,
| was tired out but SWAN bravely to the as
| sistance OF, his drowning friend. Bullens,
who had been reclining on the beach,
| courageously started for the rescue line
| struggling boys had in the meantime got
ten near the middle of the river and Phil
| lips was astride Montgomery S back while
the latter was manfully Juggling for the
shore.
Montgomery was finally compelled to
| let his companion go, as he was weaken
| ing. When Bullen reached the spot, Phil
| fps was sinking for the third time, but
putting out his hand Bullens grasped the
lad and at the same time caught hold OF
Montgomery. The latter, however, feel
| ing that he was strong enough to swim
ashore, pulled away from the helping
hand and an instant later went down.
Bullens SWAN for the beach, laid the in
sensible Phillips on the sand and heroic
ally jumped into the river again for Mont
gomery. just as he reached the deepest
part OF the channel MONTGOMERY sank l;I fo1
by the eddy.
Then the Phillips lad, who was danger
| ously sick, was removed to his home in
the police ambulance and physician s
were called. 1t is said that the chances
for his recovery are slight. The lads
body was recovered about 5 O'Clock.

sary and harmful, and is only used in
England because of the prevalence of
malaria near the. training quarters.
| The methods of rowing by the three
crews that participate in the big varsity
race of June Goth, may be briefly detailed
as follows:
Yale, the narrower bladed English cars
heightened out, so as to give the men
more leverage inboard of the outrigger
to suit the longer body reach. The body
| swings from the hip as fulcrum, and
the slides are used only for the purpose
of frightening out this body swing. The
grip on the oar is more like that of the
grip of man hanging on a horizontal
bar, the fingers over the handle barely far
enough to get a grip on it, and the wrist
and the arm kept as near straight as pos
sible with the shoulder held firmly in to
the body SO as to get the firmest possible
grip on the water on the catch. Having
gotten this grip the minute the oar
touches the water the heavy body swing is
made to tell to it's utmost on the very
first part of the stroke.
Harvard, long full reach, the back
bent so far that it almost buckles, the
knee almost touching the arm pits, and
on the catch the blade slightly burying
itself is whipped through the water with
a power absolutely evenly applied from
the catch to the time of recovery. At first
the body swing is fast but slows down at
the latter end, demonstrating perfect
command or balance over tho slide which
starting aft quickly eases almost to a
creep as it reaches the after chocks. Then
comes the sharp quick throwing away of
the hands as they come home to the chest
the gradually decreasing speed of the
swing aft, the same control of slide and
the nice blending of the recover with the
start of another stroke, wherein the blade
performs circular or hook movement
which is continuous.
Cornell, quite similar to Yale. A long
drive with swift application of power
at the catch together with an upward and
backward swing, or rather snap of the
head; the body inclined far back at the
finish, and then a short, very slow slide
on the recover. The men do not lean as
far forward at the catch as the English
crews do. They get their leg work in
sharply and keep their backs as fiat as
possible. Their workmanship is natural
ly beautiful to look at; the eight blades
working as it one man moved them all.
