Inability to hit consecutively caused the
downfall OF the Brooklyns yesterday-that and
some telling fielding by the Pittsburgs when

play interposed a barrier between the Brook

FIRE ON THE MAMIE SWAN.

Capt. Hollis Higgins Sends True
Report of the Occurrence.
The fire on the bark Mamie Swan, Capt.
Hollis I. Higgins, in New York harbor re-
Gently, which was briefly but correctly
reported in THE AMERICAN last week,
was made the occasion for garbled re-
ports in sensational papers in which Capt.
Higgins wife figured. Hysteria, fainting,
forcible removal from the vessel, etc.,
were features of these stories.
As matter of fact Mrs. Higgins, whose
only home has been on ship board for
eighteen years, is good sailor, and ap-
pears to have been the only level-headed
person aboard when the fire broke out.
Capt. Higgins was in NewYork on busi
ness when the fire started. There was a
dense fog which prevented the discovery
OF the smoke by those ON board, until the
fire was burning fiercely. The crew mus
tered with buckets, but were unable to
subdue the flames, and Mrs. Higgins,
realizing this, put off in small boat to
summon assistance.
A pilot boat lying at Stapleton wharf
nearby WIS SUMMONED Dy net, ana soOn
had two streams on the fire. After the
fire was out, a water boat put in an appear
ance, and with possible salvage in view
began pumping water into the vessel.
The fire was wholly confined to the for
ward house. Had it reached the hold, in
which q, 800 cases of kerosene were stored
it would have been serious. The deck on
which the house rests was not burned
enough to necessitate renewing. The whole
top of the house, about half the ceilings
and studding will have to be renewed. AL
tools in the carpenter shop, most of galley
utensils, side lights, signal lights, hose
were burned, and two boats were con-
siderably scorched.
Capt. Higgins interest in the vessel was
partially insured.
Voluntary settlement for 81 ,75O was made
with the pilot boat which extinguished
the flames. The water boat which came
along after the fire was out has libeled the
vessel for 5000, but this claim will be con-
tested.
Capt. Higgins, who wrote Sunday giving
the facts as here printed, said that with a
week of good weather he would be ready
for sea again.

New Methodist Church

The memorial windows of the new
Methodist church have been set in place
this week, and add greatly to the attract
iveness of the interior. With these win
dows in place, one gains an idea of the
appearance of the auditorium as it will be
when completed. 1t is indeed cosy and
pretty church home.
There are four of the memorial windows.
Three of the windows are the centre win
dows of the lancet windows set in threes
facing north, east, south and west The
fourth memorial is in circular window
above the altar. All are of handsome de-
sign in colored glass, from the Farley
Stained Glass Works, Portland.
At the right of the auditorium is the
memorial to Mrs. Harriet Baker Simon
ton, wife of Rev. j. P. Simonton. The
figure design Of this window is cluster
of lilies. AT the left is the memorial OF
Rev. Abner s. Townsend, former pastor
of the church. The design is an open
bible. Facing Hancock street and open
ing from the vestry is the memorial 10
Abram Lord, the design being a cross.
The circular window above the altar is a
memorial to Sumner G. Rowe, the design
being an open bible.
The three electric chandeliers OF twelve
lights each-two in the church and one in
the vestry-are also in place. They are
the gift of Fred 5. Smith and wife, of
Gardiner.
