Edward Long of Greenwich, Ct., Mur dered by Unknown Parties. Wat in Drunken Row—Unconscious When Found and Soon Died. 'Greenwich, Ct., June 7.—Edward Long, aged is. a hack driver, died at his home here, Sunday morning, from a bullet wound in the head, received in a melee, Saturday night. Long was unconscious when found and expired without being able to give any information as to the cause of the shooting. A man thought to 'belong in Stamford and a woman about town are supposed to be the principals in the affair, but as their identity is not known, no arrests have been made. Tiie affair occurred in the vicinity of •the freight yards near Belle Haven docks, where some hackmen met the un known man with two women. It is thought the entire party was under the influence of liquor. A free light was pre cipitated. which was continued between Long and tne unknown man after the others of the party had gone. A passerby, about 3 o'clock Sunday morning, found Long leaning over a fence and on investigathui found that he had been shot. Deputy Sheriff Pitzroy was notified and had Long taken home, where he died about (I o’clock. A woman’s hat found near the scene of •the murder has furnished a clue which it is believed will result in the identifica tion of the principals. About six weeks ago, Long was rescued from drowning by E. Benedict, who discovered the lad on an upturned boat in the sound, and when he was taken aboard the Oneida lie was utterly i x hausted. THREE FIREMEN KILLED. Fire at San Francisco Causes $100,000 Dan. age and Loss ol Three Lives. San Francisco, June 7.—A fire in ;i j business block in the southeastern per., of the city, at noon, Sunday, cost three fir* men their lives and entailed a prop erty loss Of $100,000. The fire started mysteriously in the four-story brick building owned by Sehotb Westorfield. leased to the (Standard liiscuit Co. So far as known, tne only occupants of the building, Sun day morning, w» re John Krwin. the i •book-keeper, and \V. t’ook. the cashier, j Cook departed at 11 and Krwin was still occupied with his 'books at noon when a fireman rushed in and conveyed tile in formation that the building was ablaze in the upper stories. A stiff breeze fanned i e lire within the brick walls, causing it to spread with extraordinary rapidity, and it was soon apparent that the in- j terior of the structure would be de stroyed. i Adjaec lit to the brick factory was a row of old wooden buildings, including a I branch of the Salvation barracks and j the southern police station. Tin se seemed doomed. Fortunately the police station contained only three prisoners, j •but the 'terrified yells and appeals of the trio to be liberated caused intense excite ment among the gathering crowds. They wore transferred as quickly as possible 1 to the central station. i •Meanwhile floor* after floor of tin* cracker factory fell in, rendering the walls unsafe. Then the east wall of the factory toppled over and a sheet of flame spread over the area adjoining. With the crash of the east wall occurred the trag edy of the conflagration. A falling tim ber struck Fireman Mahoney on the leg, breaking it. He refused to allow his comrades to carry him away in their arms, insisting that he must be borne off on a shutter. All but two of the band of firemen ran to procun* a shutter, and just as they left their injured comrade, the wall fell, burying .beneath a mass of brick and .mortar Mahone.v and his faith ful ‘friends. After much dangerous labor the bodies were recovered. The loss on the brick building Is esti mated at $40,000. with $60,000 loss on the contents, consisting of machinery and stock. The cause of the lire is as yet un known. STABBED SIX TIMES. H. P. Scott ol Rutherford. N. J.. Probably Murdered by llatiant. New York. June 7.—H. P. Scott, a host ler at the Hast Rutherford. X. J.. hotel, was tabbed six times. Saturday, by two Italian peddlers, and is likely to die. The Italians were selling pin wheels and Seott attempted to take one from the frame on which the men were carrying them. A fight followed and both Italians drew knives and used them on Seott fiercely. The Italians then fled. Thev were ehused by a crowd of people who wit nessed the stabbing and one of them was captured.

And Belfast Helps Us Out by Defeat ing Portland, 7 to 6. Rockland Beats Lewiston. 10 to 8. Latter Losing Chances to Win. 1LDEA was iri the box for Au gusta, yester day. and he pitched an ele gant game of ball. For five innings he hell Bangor flowt; without a hit. In the sixth they hart a double, and in the eighth three singles and that was the extent of their stick work. His command of the ball was excellent, only sending two men to first, both in the fifth. It was a splendid exhibition of headwork and skillful control. If anyone asks you i.’ Gildea can pitch, tell them yes. We failed to score in the first and second. Bangor scored her first man at bat, on a base on balls, a sacrilic and an error by Hansoom. he badly misjudging a fly from Hayes. We tied the score in the third. Gil dea struck out. Schrecongost hit to left for two bags and came in on Veitcli’s single to left center. Bangor did not score again till the eight. In the fifth wo added one to our score. Gildea again struck out. Schrecon gost singled over second to center. Veitch hit to McKenzie, and Schrecon gost went out at second. Delaney the 1 sent one over second base for a single, and Butman, who had twice struck out, sent the bail to almost the same place for a single, scoring Veitch. In the sixth we added another one. Joe Connor hit to deep left center for two bases. Fogarty sacrificed him to third. Gildea gave C. Connor a lly which he squeezed. Schrecongost singled to center,scoring Connor. Veitch Hied out to right field. Then we had ’em three to one, and that way it stayed till the eighth. We did not score. Cronin hit to left fie’d for one bag. Chas. Connor was out in a high foul to Schrecongost. Flack sent a single to right, and Hayes one to left, Cronin coming home on the latter. Flack made third on a short passed ball. Casey then went to bat, hitting an easy one to Gildea, who threw to first instead of to the plate, catching Casey but allowing Flack to score. Meagher was out on a fly to Butman. With the score tied and Bangor start ing on a little hitting, a nervous feeling seemed to float through the air, but it was soon dispelled, for we saw four men cross the plate, after two men were out. Schrecongost was out to right field, Veitch sent a beautiful two-bagger tc right, close by the line. Delaney was sent down by Cronin. Then Bangor’s troubles began. Butman, who had struck out twice, came to the bat. Two strikes were called. The third one came along and as he fanned the air, Veitch made a dash for third. Mackey lined the ball dotvn to third, as quick as a flash, and our hearts sank. Tratnor was r~ kind enough to let It go through hla hands and Veltch oaane along home, Delaney going to second. It was a gift, and we were much obliged. I Then Handlboe was given first, I Hanscom put In his first hit, a single, scoring Delaney and Handlboe sprinted to third. Joe Connor then hit to Tralnor who made a nasty fumble, Handlboe scoring and Hanscom going to second. Fogarty also arose to the 1 occasion with his only hit, a corking drive to center for two bases, scoring Hanscom. Joe Connor landed on third, and Bangor claimed that he had neg lected to touch second base, clearing It in his running by about 20 feet or so. The umpire did not see It, so the ver dict was "not guilty but don’t do it again.” Glldea struck out. Bangor failed to score and the game was won, 7 to 3. Up to the ninth, Bangor had played a perfect Holding game and It had been good ball throughout, Hanscom’s error in first being a poorly judged l»all, mulling it. Had Schrec held a thrown ball at the plate in the first, C. Connor would have been out and Hangar out a score, but it was a hard chance and Connor knocked the ball from his hands. 1 Mackey’s throwing to second in the second inning was very pretty, both times heading off his man. 1 Joe Connor made a daring steal of third in the second that brought down the house, and Schrecongost's steal home in the third was a dandy. I Meagher, in the fourth, was disgusted, i With two out, he wanted to hit the lxa.il out of the lot, but hardly succeeded in hitting it to Gildea. So disgusted was he that lie threw down his bat and re fused to run. j In the fifth, Delaney made a try for a high foul from Cornin, that, had he I held the ball, would have been a catch I of the marvellous order. It was a grand try. Hanscom’s long running catch of a foul fly from Flack in the sixth was a jewel, one of the prettiest ever seen on our ground. In the seventh. Veitch and Fogarty both went after a fly in short left cent, r and collided, Veitch holding the hall. Charlie Flack claimed he picked it up. but he was wrong. It was a great catch, and neither of the boys were much hurt. In the eighth. Cronin sent one in about the same spot and through a misunderstanding no one touched it and Cronin got a hit. It was an easy one for Veitch, but the boys couldn't hear what Capt. Delaney was calling to them, on account of the noise. In the seventh Butman made a great pickup of a low thrown ball by Veitch, stopping the runner at first. Delaney ran up ami made a pickup and throw to lirst that was a gem. Mackey made what seemed a safe first but he had to retire to the bench. Charlie Connor and Casey could fit Id but couldn't but, and Flack only get one little single. Ned Hayes got in two hits with a total of three and played his usual good game. Meagher had but two chances and took them. Trainer's story has been told. McKenzie did fine work at short and Mackey, behind the bat was all right. Cronin did some good work, striking out 10 men, but was hit hard when we needed hits and runs. There was a close decision down on second base, Cronin throwing down to catch Veitch and Bangor claiming that he was out. The umpire said "safe” and Veitch hung to the bag. Not a kick was made by Augusta at Brady’s umpiring, though Bangor in dulged a little in that luxury. As a w hole his work was good and we had no reason to kick, so we didn't. Lew's ton and Portland papers please take notice. Harry Newell sat on the bench and added his gentle voice to the noise, of tlie crowd and coaehers, to the crowd’s annoyance and umpire’s disgust. 1 he score: BANGOR. C. Connor, c.f. Flack, l.f.

The home team braced up toward the 'last of the game, but It was too late. It had 'been announced that two games would he -played, 'but such arrangements were not known to the visiting manager and hence the second game was not played. PORTLAND.
