people. We shall then be able truly to say that
save the losses not covered by insurance, our
people will have nut little cause to mourn the
calamity which has befallen them. or course
we do not forget the melancholy deaths which
attended this conhagration. Loss of property
is as nothing compared with loss of human life,
especially when attended by circumstances so
fearful. The child of Mrs. Newton, who is now
motherless in consequence of this awful calami-
ty, has claim upon the kindest and most So
licitous charity. We trust that she will be
watched over and well cared for. We do not
know that Mrs. Thurber has left any children.
The girl Della Flynn, no doubt had family and
friends who mourn for her All the victims Of
tenderest emotions of pity when we contemplate
their sad fate.

Criminal Record.


ST. LOUIS, Jan. 29-Charles jolly. Jr.. and
John Armstrong, murderers of the Lepinc fam
lily, near Potosi, Mo-, last November, were hanged
at that place on Friday. They were taken
thither on a special train from this city, where
they have been in jail since their conviction, ac-
companied by the sheriff and deputies, with
several priests. The train arrived at POtosi at
noon, where an armed guard of half dozen
men with shot-guns took charge of the prisoners,
under command of the sheriff. A crowd of about
three thousand persons from all the neighboring
counties, including several well dressed women,
and children with their mothers, were assembled
near the gallowS. The scaffold was elevated
twenty feet from the ground, and the victims fell
nine feet. Jolly died instantly. Not only was his
neck broken, but his head was neary torn from
his body blythe fall. Armstrong nearly touched
the ground, the moose having slipped at least
SIX inches above the ear. His struggles were
frlgatful. Once he fairly got his feet upon a
piece of pine wood, a chip from the scaffold
This was knocked from under him, but he still
fought hard for life, and it was only when Capt,
Lehman seized the rope and lifted him foot or
two, he died by slow stranguation in about
eight minutes.

HONOR IN PoLITICs.-It is stated that at a
private meeting of disaffected gentlemen, held
when or where 1t is not publicly known, it was
decided to support some candidate in opposition
to Mr.. Earle. The fact that printers were hard
ut work all day Sunday, at one of the job offices
in this city, leads to the conviction that docu-
ment is to be circulated carly this morning that
will bear criticism. What is this work that
shrnks from the light of day2 And why is it
necessary for men to avoid publicity in making
nominations in the city of Worcester? If any
citizens desire to support candidate in opposi-
ton to Mr.. Earle the field is open to them, and
their course will be respected according to the
frankness and sincerity they exhibit. But dark
lantern movements are repugnant to the en-
ightened sentiment of this city. They are
especially obnoxious at this time for the follow
ing reasons:
Public opinion was averse to a party contest
for the Office made vacant by the death of Mayor
Blake. The republican city committee recog-
nizing this feeling held a meeting, at which
nearly all the members were present, and no one
opposed, while many urged that party nomi-
nation was unwise and undesirable at this june
ture. The committee took part in the informal
meeting held at Natural History hall, at which,
besides large majority of the committee, there
were present, by invitation, the members of the
city council past members of the city council,
and prominent citizens interested in municipal
affairs, and representative men Of different po-
litcal faith, and of all shades Of opinion in local
matters. Those who were present will testify that
it was u free and talkatve gathering. No half
dozen men of the hall-full were agreed upon
candidate after Mr.. Chapin's letter of declination
was read. They were agreed upon two things,
viz: against a party contest, and IN favor of
a mass meeting ofcitizens, by the action of which
they would abide. Acommttee of twelve prom
iuent citizens was unanimously appointed to call
meeting at Mechanics hall, the result of which
is well known.
The mayor of the city presided, and the meet
ing was the fairest, most orderly and most re-
markable political gathering ever held in this
city. A nomination by the body Of men there
represented was equivalent to an election.
Every man who took part in the
convention, and every candidate who
allowed his name to be brought before it is in
lonor bound to abide by the result. Out OF a
list of excellent candidates the convention
quietly, but by a very large majority, decided in
favor of EDWARD EARLE, who will be chosen
mayor to-day by two-thirds vote, if the mem
5ers of the Mechanics hall convention do one
half their duty.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
The laudable efforts of the society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals to prevent the
overlooking of our city cars are at an end as
the police court dismissed a case, yesterday, in
which recklessness and cruelty were clearly
proved.
THE PEOPLE WISH TO RIDE
In the cars, and they would like congress TO do
something to compel the avenue road TO run
cars with sufficient frequency to accommodate
the public; but, so long as congressman all
carry annual passes in their pockets, the COM
pany safely defes the people.
RAILROAD MATTER.
Another attempt will be made tomorrow to
pass the New YORK and Washington railroad
bill in the house, but the democrats, with few
exceptions from Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
threaten to ilibuster till the close of the session.
to defeat it. 1t can only come up in the morn

MISS REAM.
Winnie Ream's friends are sanguine that she
will get an additional appropriation of five
thousand dollars for her Lincoln statue. One
of our morning papers says that, inasmuch as
Powell got twenty-five thousand for his dress
parade on the banks of the Mississippi, and
Clark Mills got vast sums for his brass foundry
work, it can see no reason why Miss Ream
whose work is in the same class, should not be
paid all she asks.
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The conference committee on the territorial
bill for this district, is having considerable
difficulty in coming to compromise. The op-
position to the bill strengthens by the delay
The colOred voters have been persuaded by GER
tain white leaders that the bill is aimed at them
The advocates of female suffrage made an at
tempt to get the conference committee to con-
slider the ploprety of reopening that question,
but they declined as the house rejected female
suffrage by very decided vote, and the senate
did not agree to it. SAM WELLER.

NOMINATIONS FOR MAYoR.-EditorS Rorces-
ter Spy: see by the Gazette of this evening
that some disaffected citizens have bolted from
the action of the citizens mass meeting of last
Thursday evening, and nominated DR.. Kelley
for mayor. Now, when it is remembered that
a few days ago the friends of DR.. Kelley were
making great professions of loyalty to the de-
cison of the approaching mass meeting, pledg-
ing their support to the man who should receive
the nomination, and when it is so well known
that the caucus was conducted in perfectly
fair manner, and was the m st orderly assem-
blage of the kind ever held in Worcester, this
action Of the boiling gentlemen seems to be
without excuse and will probably be treated as
it deserves at the polls on Monday. If, how
ever, DR.. Kelley is the man of honor that take
him to he, he will repudiate this action of his
friends, and withdraw his name from the can
vass at this time, reserving it for some future
campaign when he can be honorably elected.

"YoTE THE REGULAR NOMINATION. I'm
der this heading an influential and respected
democrat of this city has written the following
communication, which he asks us to publish
He took part in the Mechanics hall meeting in
good faith and proposes to abide by the result,
as any honorable man would do. We publish
the article cheerlully, simply adding that he is
not alone among the democrats who were present
at that mass convention who intend to act hon
orably in the matter:
Mr.. Editor:-Men of all parties were invited
by the republican committee to meet and con-
suit what should be done at the preliminary
meeting. A committee of gentlemen of the
various parties was raised to call general
meeting of citizens to make a nomination of
mayor.
The general meeting assembled in response to
a call signed by John D. Washburn, Geo. w.
Gill, Harrison Bliss and other prominent cti-
zens of both political parties. Upon fair bal
lot Edward Earle was nominated for mayor by
a very large majority, and numerous democrats
took part in the meeting. A fairer meeting for
a nomination was never held in this city.
If few fshy republicans, who may have been
disappointed in the result, are dishonorable
enough to bolt the nomination made under
these honorable circumstances, let them, and
them alone, have all the glory of it, but let no
democrat be tainted with the foul odor it will be
sure TO leave on its participators. These fishy
republicans should know that when we enlist
we go the whole war, and when we have been
invited to and have taken part in meeting,
called and conducted as fairly as the meeting
of Thursday evening, that we must have more
honorable reasons than have been presented
against Edward Earle to induce us to surrender
our self-respect. We think we know Mr.. Earle
better than some of those who are concerned in
the disreputable movement, which by our votes
we will show them we do not endorse
AN OLD LINE DEMOCRAT.
Another influential democrat called on us last
night, to say, that whatever others might do, he
should support at the polls to-day the citizens
nomination, made at Mechanics hall on Wednes-
day, of Edward Earle for mayor.

THE CHORAL UNION, after vacation of one
week, will resume its rehearsals this evening at
their rooms in Chaplin block, Pearl street.
Haydn's beautiful mass in c, which was sung
some years since by the Mozart society, has been
the principal subject of study for a few weeks
past, and only wants few finishing touches
before this charming tone picture will be in
readiness for public exhibition. The society,
we think, does well in studying the works of the
great masters of song, thus tending to elevate
the taste of its members and educate the public
to appreciate the highest order of music. The
performance of this mass, together with good
miscellaneous selections, will afford an evening
entertainment that all musical people. should
enjoy. The chorus of the society will doubtless
do themselves the credit of attending rehearsals
and concerts in full numbers, thereby assuring
the public of their deep interest in their work
and enabling the society to give their perform
ances in the most acceptable manner.

opera given by Maretzeks celebrated German

with good operate performance, and when the
occasion comes it must be improved.
DON'T BE DECEIvED.-As we go to press
hand-bill has been distributed on the street,
favoring Dr. Kelley for mayor, and purporting
to be signed by two respectable citizens. The
names are possibly forged; if not so, the gen
temen are grossly ignorant of facts. The state
ments in regard to the republican city commit

lied by the officers of that body to say, are de-

of roorbacks and forgeriesl Look out for hand
