BASE BALL NOTES.

Letters have been sent to the base ball
men in Lewiston. Bangor. Bath. Augusta
and Rockland by President Woodbury. of
the Portland club. calling meeting of
the Maine State League of Base Ball
Clubs vt the Tontine hotel. Brunswick.
on Monday. Jan. Is. at II o'clock.
Waterville Mail: There are not a
few people in the city who would like
to see Waterville have a team in the
Maine base ball league, if one is formed
another summer. and it is possible that
the experiment will be tried. With a
low salary list team might come
somewhere near to paying it's way but
with anything approaching the salary
lists that have ruled in the New Eng
land League Waterville wouldn't hold
place in the new association.
Portland Sunday Telegram: The sur
prise of the week in base ball circles was
the application of Portland through
President Woodbury. for admission to the
known that such an application would
not be considered. Bangor is still a men,
Der of the league. but the directors of
that club did not bother themselves
about sending a delegate and as Lewis
ton or Augusta did not Precious Port
land was the only Maine city that cared
to beg for admission. thus giving the
other cities chance to laugh at u.s.
The idea of State league is growing.
but 1t will require some hustlng to prop
cry Organize such league. Lewiston.
Bangor and Rockland are said to be
ready, but Augusta and Bath will need
some prodding to get them into line.
Portland need not be too sure of having
a franchise in the State league. as it is
the least desirable city in the State in
the opinion of those interested in such a
league on account of the small attend
ance at the games for the past two sea-
sons, ana in Augusta and Bangor there
feeling nd &c. tod he.
poorest ball town in the State One thing
looks certain and that is that promoters
OF State league will not coax Portland
to enter. Portland will never be a sue
from financial point of view and now
that there is an opportunity offered the
directors of the local club should care
fuliy consider the matter and place a
club in the state league. Portland's rec
ord in the New England League previous
to 1892 was one of continued loss to those
who were actively interested In 1892 {,
few men who had but little experience in
base ball but were gifted with sound
business ability were induced to accept
dictatorship of the club and after a
hard season managed to make the game
pay for itself. In 1893 and 1894 these men
placed the game on solid ground without
losing dollar. and after doing so were
satisfied to retire. so that in 1895 there
was a change and the club again met
with heavy loss. which was repeated las.
season. The question now is. can there
be found in this city people enough who
will subscribe to the support of a base
ball club in a league which will surely
enough with the New England League
and that the time has come to make a
change and enter the State league which
at this time looks as though it would be
a success and which at least cannot be
Il continuous loss to hackers of clubs, as
has been the case in the New England
League.

A MINE ON FIRE
At Least Eight Men Known to Be
Dead

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 30.-The most
fatal mine disaster in the Lackawanna,
or Wyoming, coal fields since the Twin
Shaft horror at Pittsburg over year
ago was developed in the fire which
gutted the river slope of the Delaware
and Hudson company's Won Storch mine
in this city today. At least seven men
are known to have been suffocated by
smoke and possibly one other, Poland
er, is numbered among the dead.
The slope extends down through three
veins. The missing men were at work
in the deck and surface veins, the former
100 and the latter sixty feet from the sur
face. They had but two avenues OF
escape. The shorter route was by way
of the slope, which was sea of flames
for nearly II hours, and is yet burning at
it's foot, and the mother route was via
cross cuts to gangways which lead to an
air shaft nearly mile from the spot
where the men were working. Fire kept
them out of the slope, and the smoke,
which backed out and into all the work.
ings, prevented escape through the cross
cuts Eighteen men, it is thought, were
in the mine when the fire was discovered
at 1920 o'clock this morning. Only ten
of this number are known to have been
hoisted through the air shaft. Chief
Hickey of the Scranton fire department
and eight firemen, narrowly escaped
death in the slope today.

DEPARTMENT STORES
Will Fight the Laws Restraining
Their Operations

CHICAGO, Oct. 3O.-Backed by Mayor
Harrison, Corporation Counsel Thornton
will begin a fight on department stores
next Monday. Proceedings will be in
stituted in some Justices court to compel
the department stores to observe the
provisions of the Walker ordinances.
These ordinances provide that in no
store where dry goods are sold shall
meat or liquor be dispensed. In other
words, they will keep out the provis-
ions department Of the big stores. In
terwoven with the action to be begun
under the ordinances is the Duddleston
ordinance, which provides that all SELL
ers of meat in the city shall take out a
license.
An elaborate decision has been reach
ed in the Corporation Counsel's office
that department stores cannot take out
a license under the Duddleston ordi-
nance. This has precipitated the fight,
as was expected. Application was made
by the department stores for meat Ii
censes. The decision of the corpora
ton Counsel is that the Walker ordi-
nance forbids them to sell meats and Ii
quors, therefore the licenses cannot be
isued.
The attorney representing the depart
ment stores in the fight says that if the
deci5ion goes against them in the JUS
tice's courts an appeal will be taken to
the Circuit Court, and if the action is un-
favorable there final appeal will be made
to the State Supreme Court.
