THE SOLDIERS WON.
How the Army Met the Navy on the
Ball Field.

There was large crowd at the Deering
grounds Saturday afternoon to see the
baseball game played between the mines
of Fort Williams and of the battleship
New York. The weather was superb and
every seat in the grand stand and on the
bleachers was occupied. There was a
great deal of enthusiasm manifested by
the friends of both teams Many of the
marines from the battleships in the har-
Dor were present and did some lusty
cheering for the sturdy lads on the New
York. The soldier boys were also well
represented by supporters who applaud
ed every fine point scored by the Fort ag-
gregation The bugle was brought along
by the Williams partisans and its clarion
notes resounded very frequently during
the game.
The contest was one sided affair
which was pulled off with very little
trouble by the soldiers. Both teams
batted very nearly the same and 1t was
owing to the.many disastrous errors OF
the sailors that the game turned out as it
did. But it should be borne in mind that
the soldiers are one of the best, ball mines
in this part Of the State and have the op.
porUunity Of playing and putting in hard
practice very often while the marines
have very little chance to get together on
the diamond. "The only time when we
can throw the bat and field the ball, -
said one of the marines as he stopped a
few minutes to explain matters, is while
we are ashore. We can't practice any
while aboard and you know that we are
on the sea almost all of the time. Still
we parsevere and so today we decided to
come out and do the best that we could
Much wrangling characterized the
game. and the decisions of the umpire,
who was Sergeant Donovan, were disput-
ed at various stages by both clubs, joined
on and off by the crowd.
For the soldiers Captain Watkins
pitched finely while for the sailors Capt.
Murphy excelled. Captain Shea was also
effective but was accorded weak support.
Here is the score by innings:
Fit Williams O 0 o. x-12
New Yorks, 2 0 0 p z.
Hits-Forts, 6; New Yorks, 5. Errors
Forts, 2; New Yorks, 9.
After the game the Fort boys gave three
hearty cheers to the vanquished nine.
On Monday afternoon on the Fort
Williams grounds the soldiers will play
the Inc from the Texas and on Wednes-
day afternoon the Kearsarge crew will
meet the lads of the fertilization.

MANY ACCIDENTS.
Have Resulted in POrtIand-PcOple
Fear Loss of Life and Damage to
Property.

During the past two years in this city
alone there has been over forty fires and
accidents resulting from the use of open
burning oil and gasoline stoves, four of
which have happened within the past
week, account of which was duly given
in our daily papers. These items are of
almost every day occurrence from the use
of open flame gasoline and oil stoves
which ara not only dangerous, but inju-
rious to health, same as gas stoves, from
the fact that they burn the oxygen from
the air in the room, leaving nothing but
the dry carbonic acid gas to be inhaled,
the effect is momentarily appalling. The
deadly gasoline and open famed oil
stoves are still in use generally because
no safe substitute could heretofore be
found. The Champion Oil Burner Co.
Cleveland, Ohio, has solved the problem
by making it possible to use any common
grade of kerosene or coal oil with abso-
lutte safety and properly heat with two
thirds the expense any cook or other
stoves built for using coal or wood.
Their invention is rapidly being placed

at Sl4 apiece. To get them started here
one may buy direct from the manufacture
ers free on board cars at Cleveland for
half that sum for short time, or until
an agency is established.
The invention has proved so interest
ing that Mr.. Barnhisel, the company S
representative has decided to remain here
a few days longer with his exhibit on
Middle. opposite Plum street, after which
the sellin g of their burners will be left
in the hands of com petent agent.

HOLD UP All OLD ORCHARD.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.I

Saco, August 4.--Ernest Dufresne,
driver of a delivery wagon for George
Chapman, the Saco laundryman, came
into town tonight at a $40 clip, and re-
ported to the police a case of highway
robbery.
He had been the rounds of the neigh
boring beaches, delivering bundles and
making his weekly collections at the
agencies, and when on his way through
the woods, about half way between here
and Ocean Park, suddenly found him
self at the mercy of four rough looking
strangers. Two of them seized his horse
by the bride, while the other two APP
preached the wagon, and Covering"
him with their revolvers, ordered him
to get down from the wagon seat.
He did as he was ordered and they
searched his pockets, taking his gold
watch and chain and all the money he
had collected on his tTip-about $50.
When they were satisfied that they had
left him nothing of value, they allowed
him to resume his seat in the laundry
wagon and head his horse for home, but
first cautioned him against relating to
anybody he might chance to meet the
story of his encounter. The four men
separated, two starting off towards Saco
and the other two in the direction of
Old Orchard.
The S AGO police, as soon as they were
notified of the robbery, communicated
with the Old Orchard police. and search
ing parties were sent out from both places
to hunt for the highWaymen. But their
quest was in vain.

THE Y. M. c. A. HOTEL.
1t Was Filled Last Night to the
Doors.

Every hotel in Portland was filed with
guests last night, so it was reported, and
the strangers were still coming on the
late trains but the most popular hotel
and the one which seemed to be caring
for as many men as any and doing it
with little trouble and at small expense
was that maintained by the Y. M. G. A.
at the Auditorium. Secretary Garland,
and his assistant secretary Mr.. Ross and
Mr.. Oman Adams, were on duty there
at midnight last night. Mr. Brown, the
janitor, had turned in after hard day S
work in a cot in the gallery of the drill
shed. The cots were tilling up rapidly
with blue jackets. They were orderly
and the most of them sober though now
and then one would come in who showed
evidences of having drank little too
much. Mr.. Adams said that it seemed
to him that m ore of the men came in
intoxicated this year than last year but
even those who had been drinking were
not troublesome. BY midnight there
were very few of the men ashore on the
streets The most of them were safely
corralled in the Y. M. @. A hotel. This
has been a most popular Institution.
AS Deputy Firth said last night it has
saved the police mu Oh annoyance and
trouble and has been very good thing
for the blue Jackets themselves. And
they seem to appreciate what is done for
them
