crime at Worcester.
a Man Killed, Houses Demolished,
People FOUNDED, dc.

WORCESTER, June 23-An explosion Of nitro
glycerine took place in this city at twenty min
utes past ten to-day, killing man, Timothy
Cronavan, an Irisman. 25 years of age, and in
turing about thirty others, none of them dan
ger9usly. Twelve houses were demolished
ana many others badly shattered. The shock
was felt all over the city. Door bells were rung
ana crockery and furniture was broken dis
lance OF nearly half mile. The cause of the
mlschlef was nitro-glycerine that had been
Struggled into the car as other merchandise. 1t
was directed to North Adams on its way to the
Hoosic Tunnel. The wounded were cared for
0y the physicians of this city, and the place of
the explosion has been visited by over 30, 900
people. The most astonishing thing OF the
whole affair is that only one was killed and so
teW are badly hurt
The man killed was not on the train but was
walking on the track. The nitro glycerine
was in the last Car of freight train, which with
= Others was demolished. The railroad officers
here and in Boston and Springfield have visit
ca the scene and are anxious that everything
possible shall be done for the sufferers. Heavy
Dars OF iron were thrown distance of nearly
quarter of mile and the shock was distinct
~ Ielt at points twenty miles away. No cor
rect estimate can be put upon the damage done
out probably $15OO0O will cover it.

SUDDEN DEATH Of N Orr ciriass. -sJatt
george Loring died very suddenly yesterday at
his residence in Falmouth, where be has been
boarding since the great fire of '66, at the age
OF 70 years. He was out to a store short
time before his death. When he returned to
his lodgings he sat down at table and soon
after lifted his hands, exclaiming, II am 60
ing" and died Immediately from heart dis
ease, as is supposed
Capt. Loring was we'll known to all our citi-
zens as one of the most genial and kind-heart-
ed of men, and was respected and beloved by
all who knew him, and his death will be sin
cerely mourned by them. In early life he
learned the trade of salmaker, which occupa-
ton he pursued for few years, and then took
to packeting-running vessel from this port
to Boston and other ports for many years +.
Tired of sea life, he gave it up and established
grocery business and provision store on Con-
gress street, where he transacted business The
fire of 1906 swept away his building and stock.
Since that time he has not transacted any reg
ular business, having retired from the city to
rusticate in Falmouth His wife died some
years since, and all his children are dead
with the exception ofsMrs E. M. Patten, now
residing in San Francisco There are several
grandchildren left by his deceased children.
His funeral will take place from the resi-
dence of his old and steadfast friend, Capt.
Eben D. Choate, No. 100 Cumberland street.
at o'clock this afternoon. The Ligonia Lodge
of l. o. o. F. and the Ancient Brotherhood.
of both of which he was member, will attend
the funeral.

Ward Caueuses.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The Ward caucuses are called for this eve
ming at O'Clock, and the call of the City Com
mittee, as is usual in such cases, appears con-
spicuousy enough in your paper to give ample
notice to all citizens interested. but want to
inquire, have they sufficiently regarded the i'm
portance of the caucuses to be held this eve
ming under that call, and are their eyes open
to possible results?
Delegates are to be chosen from each Ward
to attend the District Convention at Saco on
the 18th inst. who are to nominate a candidate
to represent their district in the National Con-
gress for the two years commencing on the 4th
of March next, and it is of vital Importance
that these delegates should represent the Re-
publican voters of this city, nine tenths of
whom, to say the least, desire the renomna-
ton of the present incumbent, who now so
faithfully represents their interests But this
result may not be obtained; certainly will not
unless those who desire it take the necessary
means to accomplish it.
1t is an occasion when the usual apathy in
regard to attending caucuses should be over
come. The large and important interests of
lLs
enemy are active, and will leave no stone un-
turned to accomplish their purpose. They
work in the dark, and hope to steal a march
upon their unsuspectipg neighbors. They are
not over-infuential if their deeds were per-
formed in light, but they work in secret and
are organized, vigilant and persistent, led
on and engineered by few ofice-holders and
disappointed ofice-seekels, who have some
personal motive or private grievance. These
men seek to palm a ticket concocted in
their private club-room in Fluent's Block upon
the caucuses tonight, that is opposed to the re-
nomination of Hon. John Lynch. In this pri-
vate room-under cover of secret meetings
tickets have been prepared for delegates in ali
the Wards, which they hope to spring upon all
the caucuses, and by means of small attendance
and the usual Indifference characterizibg such
meetings to secure their election, and thus
compass the defeat of our honored representa-
tive. Let our citizens take warning, and turn
out in sufficient numbers to completely squelch
this nice little game. Let each caucus put the
question direct to the assembled voters in
each-do or do you not desire the re-nomina-
ton OF Mr.. Lynch? and then let division of
the house be had, and the strongest party have
the delegates; in this way there can be no
smuggling of delegates whose opinions are not
known, or who would dare to misrerresent
those who thus selected them. Let our citi-
Gems remember that these parties who are thus
seeking to misrepresent the almost unanimous
sentiment of our city are busy drumming up
recruits to attend the caucuses; be wise and do
likewise. Let each determine to attend-and
invite his neighbor, to be at the Ward room s
on time, make sure that no traps are sprung
and victory is sure, and this district may again
enjoy the supreme felicity of being represented
in Congress by one of the most faithful, honest
and efficient servants of the people that il has
ever been its fortune to secure.

AUCTION SALE OF PIcTUREs.-Messrs f. o.
Bailey & Co., will sell at auction on Saturday
and Monday next a collection of oil paintings
at No. 8 Deering Block. The gallery is now
open to the public for inspection. These paint
ings are claimed to have been selected with
care by Mr.. L. A. Tolman, from the studio of
French & Belgran, artists the past year. Mr..
Tolman has the reputation Of offering the most
carefully selected stocks of paintings that are
presented for sale in the provincial cities. and
judging by the collection he displays in Deer
ing Block, we think many good bargains can
be secured. There is of course, among such a
number some that are really very fine paint
ings, others that possess more than ordina airy
merit, and some very Indifferent works of art.
But we think we hazard nothing in saying that
there are some very superior bargains to be Sc
cured while the average quality of the paintings
should secure them ready sale. We would
advise all our citizens to take look at them
before the sale, and if they do SO we think they
will desire to become purchasers.
