CITY NEWS.

The Hon. Henry Chaplin, of this city, is NOM
mated as president of the American Unitarian
association for the coming year.
There is a strong feeling in the city that the
ceremonies of memorial day should not be
marred by the parade of Stone & Murray's cir
Gus, which is advertised to come on that day
Arrangements have been effected to take the
delegates from this vicinity to the convention of
young mems Christian association at Washing
ton, via Neptune line, at reduced rates.
The sale of reserved seats to witness Joe Jetfer-
son in his matchless performance of Grip Van
Wrinkle" will begin this morning at Music hall
at eleven o'clock. The scale of prices is rather
steep but the attraction is rare one, such as IS
seldom offered to Worcester audience, and the
tickets will find ready sale among our best
class of theatre goers.
The bill relating to our passenger stations and
the tracks on the common has been passed
through its several stages by both branches of
the legislature and will speedily beproclaimed a
law We have once given the bill as originally
reported but as several minor amendments
were made and two new sections were added,
we shall print the bill as it finally passed, in full,
tomorrow. 1t is an excellent act and provides
for all that the city asked for.

CONCERT AT UPToN.-The people of Upton
and vicinity enjoyed rare treat Friday evening
in a concert given in the Unitarian meeting
house, at the close of the singing school, which
has been taught by Mr.. Richards. Mr. Richards
was assisted, not only by the choir of the Uni
tartan society, but by members Of the choir of
the Orthodox society in Upton, Misses Ingra-
ham and Hutchins, and Mr.. Mason of the quar-
tette of the Church of the Unity in Worcester,
Mrs. j. II. Lang Of Boston, Mr.. Story of Wor-
cCster as pianist, and Mr.. H. S. Rice of Worces-
ter as organst. Where all did so well it is diff
cult to discriminate. The style of music was of
course much more classical than some of used
to hear in the town, and it would have done us
good to hear regular old-fashoned rendering
of Coronation" "Old Hundred" and "PaSs
Over Jordan" But if people will become bet
ter educated in music as in everything else, we
must make the best of it, and not let our
selves believe that the old times are better
than now, because we feel that the world is i'm
proving. We always love to hear Mrs. Lang.
Her style is perfection. We are always ready
to do battle for the sweetness and skill of the
Church of the Unity. The performance of Mr..
Story makes us wish for more. Upton has al
ways been blest with voices of rare quality and
compass, and, if we mistake not, Miss Batchel-
der will equal, if not surpaSs the best of them.
Her performance of certain difficult pieces did
great credit to herself and her teacher. Mr..
Richards has much reason to congratulate HIM
self upon the choir which has been under his
instruction, and upon one Of the most success
full concerts OF which the people of Upton have
ever had the benefit.

INJURED ON THE RAILRoAD.-A young man
named Warren Brewer, who lives on Blackstone
street, was found at four O'Clock yesterday
morning lying near the Nashua railroad track at
the deep cut, near Byron street, with his scalp
torn off and back injured so badly that he was
helpless. His cries called up Mr.. James Lone,
who lives near by, and the man was cared for
as well as possible until DR.. Wood could be
called. He was unable to account for his inju-
ries, being intoxicated when the accident oc-
CURED, but was probably struck by the freight
train coming in at two O'CLOCK in the morning.
He had been fishing in company with his father,
whose indications had led him TO wander in
another direction until he brought up in
blacksmith shop in Holden. The young man
had both fish poles and a basket containing
pouts,l cells, and other fishes. lie is thought to
be fatally injured.
ANOTHER OF THE GRAFTON BANK ROB
RERs TAKEN.-Oficer L. d. Mcfarland came
back from New York on Saturday afternoon,
bringing with him Daniel Docherty for whom
Detective Squres has been watching several
weeks. He is the fifth man found of the bank
robbers, and was Immediately recognized by
Mr.. Bundy of the New England Village hotel as
the man who stopped at his house several days
previous to the burglary. The bank Waterman
also recognized him as the one who seized and
gagged him on the night of the robbery, so
there is little chance for doubt of his being one
of them. lie was taken from his house at the
corner of First avenue and 32d street, New
York, early Saturday morning, the house
having been watched all night by Squires
and Mcfarland. When they were con-
WINGED that he had gone to bed, they called three
roundsmen of the 10Th precinct to their assist
ance and rang the door bell. Docherty's wife
answered the call, but as soon as she saw the
officers she cried out to Dan, that ne might not
be surprised. The officers went at once to the
bedroom, where they found him Just ready TO
seize his pistol, and threatening terrible things
to his captors; but pistol judciousy fired
gave him sense of the business iG hand, with
out injuring him more than to burn his ear and
stun him for moment. He refused to go, and
made great ado by lying down, swearing, and
other useless demonstrations, but all to no pur-
pose, for he is now safe in a cell, waiting for an
examination.
He is a powerful felow-an Englishman-and
weighs over two hundred pounds. One of his
eyes is replaced by glass one, which fact would
hardly have been discovered, however, but for
seeing the glass eye on his dressing table, for
when it is in it matches the other accurately.
He says that year ago or more he kept an ale
house on Houston street, called the "Arbor," a
well-known resort for thieves, pickpockets and
robbers.
