THIRTY-NINE LOST.

Philadelphia, February ls.-A cable
despatch from Rotterdam, Holland,
brings news ind lcating the probable loss,
with all hands, of this British steamer
Anglers whose delay IN reaching this port
has caused apprehension in shipping
circles during the past two weeks.
The Anglers sailed from Dover on Janu-
ary 10 for Philadslphia, with 1000 tons Of
chalk.
The British steamer Dunrsven, which
arrived at Rotterdam from New Orleans
Yesterday, reports having sig hted the dis
abled Anglers on February 6. In latitude
"a degrees, longitude 4s degrees The
Anglers was tloundering in the waves,
her rudder had been lost, she signaled
that she was leaking and asked for assist
ance.
The Dunraven stood BY the Angsrs for
two days. All efforts to get the hawser
on board proved futile.
The Anglers crew of 80 men could not
leave their ship ~ all their boats had
been smashed. At the end of the secon d
day the steamer disappeared ir thick
weather The general impression Is that
the Angers has been lost. She was an
iron screw steamer Of S038 tons gross and
1918 net.

6fth to a sister, Mrs. Mary Heath OF
Rochester, n. Y. and one-fifth to cons

ABOUT NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE.
Portland wouId BE Ready 10 Join II
strong Circuit Were Promised.

MIR. Jseob G. Morse, the we'll known
base ball editor Of the Boston Herald and
secretary Of the New England league for
several years says In this weeks Sporting
Life that the prospects are very slight
that Portland will be represented In the
New England league this year. He says
that no interest Is manifested and that
the papers are not paying much attention
to the matter. AZ matter Of fact there
league could be organized, Portland
would put team In the field as well
backed as any in the organization and the
papers would see that the public was kept
well informed on the subject.
No doubt there will be a New England
league as Messrs Moore and Aurnane
have shown themselves able to get togeth-
er = circuit when the outlook was lar
worse than IL 10 now, but Just ut present
they must admit themselves that the
lea que Is not o very tangible quantity.
l doubt II the Boston gentlemen can
point to single city which possesses
well booked association ready to put
team In the field to represent it In New
England league
AS for the interest the papers are taking
/ have not noticed that tine Journals Oh
any city available for such q circuit are
giving very much space TO booming the
game from local standpoint. None that
l see have anything to say about the mat
ter and certainly the Boston papers are
not quoting very many encouraging para
graphs. Indeed as far as the papes are
concerned there has bsen pore interest
manifested in Portland than anywhere
else.
There may be little talk In Newport
and possible. MIR Moy will come forward
again In Pawtuckea but outside OF these
cities / can't find where there is any
interest In base ball locally considered.
IL there is to be New England league,
however, guess Portland will be wanted
albright. The short oiscuit idea was q
failure as President Murnane admitted
several weeks ago 10 ths Globe. The
fares TO Portland by boat are no more
than they are By rail- between cities In
southern New England and In short this
city can offer as much as any other can
and probably a great deal more.
We don't want any Fourth Of July
league though, and W. DONE want to 10
into partnership with any New England
association" organizations Just at pres
ont We don't see . great deal to enthnse
over.

ange Lumber company's mill. was on his
way homo and In sight Of his house, he was
suddenly nssailcd by an unknown party, who
began beating him over the head with a
picket. I.itchfold threw up his arm to ward
OFF the blows and III the meantime. as the
blows rained down over his head aud arm.
managed TO get his knife out OF his pocket
ann open II with his teeth. The click OF the
knife startled his assntant, who thought y
was a pistol and. throwing the picket With
all his strength at Litchheld dartcd of tpto
the darkness. Litchfold's head was terribly
bruised, HIS right ear split his right arm
beaten black and blue and his left arm beat
almost into II pulp. From tho description
given by Litchfeld II Is supposed his assaiI-
ant was a negro. who probably know that be
had some money In his packets; and whose
purpose WAS robbery. Litshfeld had Just
drawn his pny for the previous month before
leaving town. Tho officers were nntlfed OF
the assault and put Sheriff Blands blood

the scent and followed he trail all Light
