THE SITUATION AT MIDNIGHT

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUHE.l
WORCESTER, Sept. 8.-The excitement was con-
tinued up to midnight with but slight falling off in
the crowds about the hotels. The interest tonight
centered in the appointment and complexion of the
Committees on Resolutions and Credentials.
Of the former there are 10 members,
standing 70 for Washburn and for
Butler Ex-Gov Clafin, Congressman George
F. Hoar. ex-Congress1nan Esty, and Charles Hale,
ex-Assistant Secretary of State all rigid Washburn
men, are members of the Committee on Resolutions
Mr. Hoar has been engaged during the entire even
ing in drafting a platform, the Chairman, Gov.
Clafin, being absent. The report is that
he has finished it. 1t is strong in many
points but speaks less severely on the
subject of the salary grab than it ought but 1t is
said by credible authority that it will be strength
ened in this particular. The platform condemns
also the interference Of Federal officials in local
State elections, and as it now stands. demands the
removal of such office-holders. 1t is feared
among deliberate-minded members that the
Convention will not have the moral
strength to stand firmly on these two points,
and make the defeat of Butlerism and salary
grabbing complete and final. The Committee on
Credentials stands 10 Washburn men to Butler
men. The figures of the Washburn headquarters as
to the standing of the delegates as follows at
midnight: Washburn, eos; Butler, 495, including
doubtful delegates. No figures are posted at the
Butler headquarters and the Essex statesman keeps
his room and avoids the gaze of the Washburn null

Yesterday afternoon one OF the most
populous nelghborhoods in South Mem
phis was In a state Of eommotion and
excitement over an eseapade which took
place In the domIeil Of a citizen. A
married man returned suddenly TO his
home or castle aud was shocked TO lnd

ing lengthy six.shooter he swore be
would send the interloper TO kingdom
come. but the adventurer escaped
through a back window into an alley
and from thence into the street. The
excited husband gave chase several
squares with pistol in hand, but did not
fire on his rapidly retreating enemy. The
excited wife armed herself with a trusty
six.shooter. got into hack and followed
rapidly, having determined TO avenge
the death Of her lover in the most saw
age manner. The unknown visitor
escaped, and the excited husband and
wife returned homeward 10 discuss the
matter with reference to the Memphis
Don Juan. The neighbors talked learn
eddy about scandal, divorce bills, muir
der, duels and other things too duh and
prosy for our sensational reporter to
make note Of. At last accounts the
neighborhood had settled down, and its
inhabitants now shake their heads in
most suspicious manner.

Hartford Fire Insurance Company
The statement of the condition of the
Hartford Fire Insurance Company pub
lished in to-day's LEDGER, presents fig
ures worthy the attention of all people
interested in insurance. The statement
gives the financial condition of the COM
pany on the 3lst day of December, 1872.
From the figures we CLEAN that the total
assets of the Hartford are 81, 204, 1886 "a,
and the total liabilities only $42S, lO3 %.
The company has adopted rule not to
allow a greater amount than twenty
thousand dollars in one risk, except in
special cases, and has also limited the
amounts to be insured in any one block,
village, town or city. The Hartford is
one of the very best American companies
and is a general favorite with insurers.
The Memphis agent, Mr.. II. A. Littleton,
is one of our best business men; he fully
comprehends and understands the in

to attend TO the wants of insurers and
will take pleasure in giving all informa-

Mr.. Mclean appeared as a witness and
testified that he paid no attention to his
Office or books, having fall confidence
in his clerks, and that the defalcations
astonished him as much as they did any
other citizen. He had never made any
yearly settlement with the county and
did not know anything about bis Gnan
cial condition. He had been deceived
by his clerks and friends. He admitted
that in this he was guilty Of gross ne.
glect of duty, but being in the hands Of
his friends was his excuse. His clerks
and securities on official bond ran his
Office, but in a way that he despised,
since he had made the discovery Of their
style of doing business.

A well-known river man died at the

sent metallic case to the hospital for the
purpose of receiving the remains. Some
negligent employee at the hospital placed
the body ola dead negro in the case and
the body was carried 10 Elmwood Gene

appeared that the river mans remains
yet remained at the hospital and the
mistake was discovered. The defunet
African was dug up, taken from the me
taliic case, and therein was placed the
remains OF the dead river clerk.
