MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICAN coNvaN-
TON


WORCESTER, Sept. 9.-The Repub-
lican state Convention will meet in this
city tomorrow. All day long incoming
trains have been crowded with dele
gates and prominent politicians from all
parts of the State and tonight the city
is full Of strangers.
The State Central Committee met
early this morning, and will probably
be in session nearly all night hearing
and deciding upon the claims of contest
ing delegations. Their report will be
presented to the Convention in the
morning.
The canvass just closing has been the
most exciting one that has ever occurr-
ed in Massachusetts. Gen, Butler, who
is delegate from Gloucester, arrived
this afternoon, and has taken up his
quarters at the Bay State House.
The Butler faction engaged Mech
anics' Hall, which is the largest hall in
the city, for this evening, but contrary
to general expectation no meeting was
held, and the hall has not been opened.
The Convention will meet at eleven
o'clock and organize by the choice of
ex-Gov. Bullock of this city as Chair
man, John D. B. Cogswell Chairman of
the Committee on Credentials, and ex
ON Resolutions.
The names of Hon. George +. Hoar,
member of Congress from this district,
and Charles Hale of Boston will appear
on the committees.

A SHORT CEREMONY.

In Salt Lake City Court, recently,
during the trial Of a perjury case, a
small party, consisting of two ladies and
three men, hustled into the court room.
The noise of their entrance caused a
momentary suspension of proceedings,
when one of the ladies whispered some
thing to the Judge, at the same time
handing him slip of paper. His honor
seemed to understand what was needed,
after asking two brief questions said
aloud, "Then, by virtue and authority
of my Office, as magistrate, pronounce
you man and wife. Come tomorrow
for your certificate. Go on with your
testimony, Mr.. Stevens :" and before
the spectators had discovered that a
marriage ceremony had been performed
the case was resumed, and the bridal
party retired as expeditiously as they
entered.

THE GRAPHIC's ANNOUNCEMENT

There is now every reason to believe
that the initiation of the Daily Graphic
balloon will be successfully completed
tomorrow afternoon, and that it will
duly start upon its transatlantic voyage
before nightfall. During tonight and
through the day tomorrow until the
departure we will be in hourly tele-
graphic communication with the Signal
Service Bureau of the United States
Army, and in receipt of specially COM
puted probabilities" of the weather i'll
this vicinity, which will enable us to
take advantage of every favorable cir
cumstance in the difficult and delicate
work of initiating the monster.
The initiation will begin at about
three o'clock tomorrow morning, and,
if the gas be as good as is promised by
the gas company, and the weather prove
not too tempestuous, the whole process
will be completed during the afternoon.
A rain storm will make but little differ
ence in the imitation, nor would n
moderate breeze but if it should prove
very windy before the process of infa-

terfere with the arrangements.
After the balloon has started the oc-
cupants will care nothing for the vio-
lence of the wind !; for the balloon, Of
fering no obstruction whatever to the
wind, will sail comfortably with it in
whatever direction or at whatever speed
it may have. 1t is only during the pro-
cess of initiation that any accident is pos
sible, as during this process the balloon
is exposed to the strain of two powerful
and opposing forces-the force of the
winds in whatever direction they may
blow, and the tenacity of the ropes
which still bind it to the earth. It is,
therefore, only fair to warn the masses
who will attend the imitation that it is
within the range OF possibility that the
balloon may be SO injured by this strain
as to collapse during imitation, in which
case of course the rent would be repair.

THE GREAT FIRE IN HAVANA.

HAVANA, September 9.-The fire of
Saturday night, by which the Plaza
Vapor was destroyed, was very disas-
trous. The total loss is variously esti-
mated at from three million dollars to
eight million dollars. The assurances
only amount to five hundred and TWEEN
ty-four thousand dollars, nearly all Eng
fish companies. Notices have been
promptly given that all assurances will
be paid on the 18th instant. Owing to
the rapidity with which the flames
spread, very little property was saved
In less than three hours from the time
the fire broke out the entire square was
mass of ruins. Upwards of two thou
sand and five hundred people, who oc-
cupied the buildings are homeless, and
nearly all have lost everything. Great
distress prevails among them, and
numerous subscriptions have been start
ed for their relief. A large amount has
already been raised.

" A gay and charming Lexingtonian,

UNHAPPY END OF A PARADE.

On Monday night the Seventy first
regiment OF New York visited Brook Ign
as guests of the Forty-seventh regiment
of Williamsburgh. After a street parade
and an entertainment in the armory the
Seventy-first was escorted to the ferry.
AS the procession passed through Fourth
street, shortly after midnight the mem
bers and friends of the Eckford Social
and Apollo Harmonic clubs rushed on
the balconies in front of the windows of
their club rooms to cheer the passing
soldiers. phese clubs occupy the Sec
ond floor of 1853, 165, and 1877 Fourth
street, between South First and South
Second streets.
The balconies were thronged. The
Forty-seventh Regiment had passed,
and the band of Seyenty-first was OPP
posite the Apollo Harmonic rooms, when
swapping noise was heard, followed by
crash. Besides the glare of fireworks
which lighted up the streets to an al
most MONDAY brightness, large cal
cium light rendered every object dis
tinct. The balconies gave way and pre-
cipitated the occupants to the sidewalk,
fifteen feet below. The cries of terror,
shrieks of pain, and the groans of the
wounded produced the greatest conster-
nation.
Next door to the Oriental Hall is the
Williamsburgh hospital. Police Sur
geon Brandy, Drs. Fisk, Palmer, Van
derhoef, Pendleton, and Surgeon Nc
Cam were in the building and rendered
Immediate assistance All the wOund
ed were removed to the hospital, and
then taken to their homes as soon as
their injuries were relieved; upwards of
twenty persons were injured, some of
them seriously.

A WESTERN FAUST.

The Detroit Free Press relates that a
man about forty years old and woman
seemingly seventy years of age were at
the Detroit and Milwaukee station the
other day, waiting for train, when the
man strolled out on the dock and caught
sight of one of the city life-preservers
hanging to its hook. He asked what it
was, and laborer told him, and then
he asked: "How long will it preserve
feller's life ?" The man told him a
hundred years, and the information
staggered the stranger. Walking around
few minutes as if meditating, he step
ped to his informant and said: "See
here, stranger, I'll take one O. them
preservers, and if it wouldn't be askin'
too much of you, I'd like to have you
tell the old woman in there that you
haven't another one for sale, and that
