lit is stated by correspondent of the
Baltimore Sum from Raleigh that the pre-
sent lease OF the North Carolina railroad
to the Southern for 80 years will not be
annulled, and that the vote for sustain
ing the lease will be carried by small
majority. We examined the arguments
before the committee carefully, and our
conclusions were that the opponents of
the present lease had the best of the
argument, and that the Southern road
had obtained the lease by adroitness, if
not by improper and undue influence.

Eight hundred polo cranks went crazy
last night in City hall and passing
through intervals of exultant JOY and
depressing gloom howled themselves
through one of the most exciting games
ever seen III this city. 1t was sort OF
sse-saw affair after the first period,
kind of "now you sea it aud now You
don't" game, with the result uncertain
until the last goal had been scored, until
the very last second of play,
And the best of all was the winning of
it. Portland owes this game to good luck
as much as anything else. and if ever
sacrifices could fittingly be made to the
tickle Goddess of Fortune, last night was
the proper time for making them.
THE AMATEUR GAME.
AS a fitting prelude to the excitement
to follow, a kind Of bracer before feast
as it were, two amateur team struggled
for victory for three- uarters of an hour,
and more before the professional game
and they might have been playing yet,
so evenly were they matched: had not
one of them forfeited hard earned goal
for three fouls and thereby Lost the game.
Great rivalry exists between the South
Portlanders and the Forest Citys, and it
is greater today than ever before on ac-
count of last nights contest. Everything
went to the South Portlands in the Fl rst
| period, and they won two goals by hard
work. Then came period in which
| neither side scored, but in the thirdsperiod
| the Forest Citys eyened things up by
taking two goals. To decide on the win
| ming team it was necessary to play until
either one or the other scored o goal.
For eleven minutes and 40 seconds Of hot,
heart disease work, the amateurs strug-
gled until at last the Forest Citys had
made three fouls, and Referee Craig, in
SO deciding, gave the game to the South
Portlands by score of two to one. The
summary:
South Portlands-H. Woodbury., first
rusher; Comfy, second rusher; Spear,
center; Anderson, half back; q. Wood
bury, goal; Fisher and Kilfedder, snbsti-
! tutas.
Forest Citys-T. Sterling, first rusher;
| Bennett, second rusher: K. Sterling,
| cnnter; Braokett, half back; Shaw, goal

HOW PORTLAND WON.
AT quarter to nine O'Clock the pro-
fessionals skated into the arena, Fur
bush, the one time hero of the Portlands,
and once the favorite Of the bleachers,
was with the visitors and had blood in
his eyes. That he was out for glory and
revenge appeared early in the contest,
and he played the game of his life. But
this didn't prevent the small boys from
kissing the elephantine half back when
ever they got chance though he de-
served censure in many cases for his
rough play. When the Portlands ap-
peared there was O new man with them
who wasn't introduced to the audience
just then, but who saved the home team
from defeat before the evening WAS over.
In the beginning of the game Lewiston
won three goals, and the Portlands
seemed utterly demoralized. Dawson and
Whipple spent their strength and time in
chasing Lewiston's fast rushers, Tarrant
and Walton, who juggled the ball all
around the hall and gave the audience as
fine an exhibition of foxy playing as has
been seen here this year. Only Hadley
and Jordan seemed to be doing anything
in Shaving off an ignoble defeat, and the
stock of the local team was way below
par when the period ended with score
of Lewiston, 3; Portland, /.
1t was great relief when this period
ended, but the home team didn't seem to
he much better off in the second third Of
the game. Murphy was put in as first
rush in Dawson's place, and worked
hard, but couldn't seem to accomplish
much by it oil. Furbush distinguished
himself by driving the ball from the
end of the hall into Portland's cage.
John Allen, the local goal tend, began to
grow pale, and thrash about with his
stick in an excited manner. Things
were not going to please John. but the
moro excited he grew the worse things
became. Portland, toward the very last
of the second period scored a goal on
Murphy's lucky stroke and the score
stood, Lewiston, 4; Portland, 2.
Then entered the new man. Frank War
ner comss here from Lewiston and here
after will play as Portland's first rush.

PANIC IN SCHOOL HOUSE.
Children in Boston Badly Injured During
Stampede.

Boston, February 19.-The fire in the
Everett School at the corner of North
ampton and fremont strests this fore
noon caused stampede among the pupils
and in the rush to leave the building, 10
or IL children were crushed and bruised
some of them being seriously injured.
The fire. whichawas of trivial nature
in itself started in closet at II O'Clock
and WAS discovered by scholar. Princi-
pal Pritchard ordered the dismissal bell
to be rung and as the children were leav-
ing tho building some of them saw the
smoke and becoming alarmed, started to
run toward small porch door on the
Northampton street side. They were
quickly followed By others of the
frightened pupils and in the stampede.
some were badly hurt. The injured chill
dren were taken either to their homes or
to hospitals.
At the city hospital there gre nine
cases. Only three of the children are
badly injured and they are unconscious
and it is impossible to get their names.
The fire ia Thought to have beeh caused
by some child throwing u match into a
waste basket The loss by the fire itself
was very small. The fire marshal Is in
vestiQating the matter.
There were about 500 children in the
school at the time. The small porch doors
which impaded the exit of those in the
building are said to be the real cause of
the injuries to the children.

one of the best polo players in this
section. Last night he took Dawson g
place, and on the very send off became a
great favorite with the bleachers by soor-
ing Portland 8. third goal on a pass from
Whipple. Such yelling and cheering was
never before heard at polo game in this
OF any other city, and Warner at bound
team.
WhippIe came in for his share of the
glory too. After three minutes hot work
Warner made pretty pass to Whipple
who Gagged the ball. This tied the score,
making it four each, and it looked as if
we had the victory in sight.
But it was not to be won so easily On
the very next rush which Whipple ought
to have won. the bal! was left for the
Lewistons to push down to Portland's
cage, and after thirty seconds of very ex-
citing playing Furbusa scored goal for
Lewiston on long drive from the end Of
the hall. Immediately Afterwards
Whipple tied the score again, and so 1T
went on, first Lewiston one goal ahead,
and then the score IA tie, until the period
ended with the score of Portland, q;
Lewiston, z. Twice during this time
Lewiston caged the ball only to have 1t
bound out of the cage again. John Allen
was not in his usual good form, and let
many easy ones get by him. The work
of Warner was brilliant and Whipple
seemed to play we'll with him, too.
Jordan and Hndley covered themselves
with glory, and such yelling, cheering
and roofing hasn't been equalled here In
months. The overtime playing occupied
lust one seoond. Warner scored the win
ming goal for Portland from the spot on
the rusf, and the greatest game ye!
played here was ended. 7 he summary:
