THE MAYoRALTY.
Result of the Democratic Convention
Last Night.
Enoch Knight, ESQ.,, Nominated Az
ter Three Ballots.

Reform Club Hall was filled with Demo-
Gratis last night who took keen and rather
noisy interest in the doings of the delegates
who had been chosen to nominate the Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor. The forty-nine
delegates occupied seats in the centre of the
hall, the spectators mostly stood up because
they couldn't find place to sit down. The
convention was called to order at just s
o'clock by Mr.. A. B. Russell, chair
man of the Democratic City Committee.
Mr.. Russell named Hon. George Walker
as chairman, and he was promptly elected.
He said that he did not propose to instruct
the intelligent delegates present and thought
that it would be better perhaps were they to
instruct him. This was done by one gentle
man who suggested that secretary would
be good thing to have. Mr.. M. N. Riggs
was given that position.
Mr.. A. B. Russell remarked that the door
to the side room was unlocked and the
delegates might retire to that place and de-
liberate there.
The chair thought the same result would
be obtained if the spectators withdrew, put
Mr.. Josiah Chase headed off the whole
thing. He said that the large number OF IN
telligent voters present were entitled 10 near
the discussions and the spectators so 1orclDly
manifested their approval of Mr.. Chase's re-
marks that the whole subject was dropped.
The reading of the list of delegates was
then begun by the chairman and vacancies
were filed as the reading progressed. 1t
took some considerable time to finish the list,
as the bad weather or some other cause had
kepta good many at home. Ward l was
correct In Ward Mr.. Patrick MCGOWAN
explained that he was the man who was
meant in place of Mr.. Mccain, whose name
was read Mr.. NcAleney was absent from
Ward 4, but subsequently came in and took
his place. When Ward was reached the
chairman explained that he was not a dele
gate from that ward, but represented Dr.
Gordon, who was. The convention then
voted to make its chairman a delegate. W.
Il. Woodbury. was not present and Edward
Rogers took his place. Mr.. Charles McCar-
thy acted for Mr.. Joseph E. Blabon, Mr.. j.
E. Owen for Mr.. W. T. Kilborn, Mr.. john
son for Mr.. w. 81. Green. Mr.. Riggs, the
secretary, said that he was serving for Mr.
L. w. Fobes.
The reading of the list being finally COM
pleted, Hon. w. L. Putnam moved that an
informal ballot for Mayor be taken and the
motion prevailed.
Mr. John A. Gallagher then moved that
the voting be done by wards. each member
going forward as his name was called and
depositing his ballot. This motion was
passed.
1t was voted on motion of Mr.. Peter DAILY
that committed of three be appointed to
receive, sort and count ballots, and Peter
Daily, W. FL. Anderson, and Patrick Nc
Gowan were appointed. The informal ball

Serious Accident.

Wednesday afternoon John McKeown, Jr
a young man about 20 years of age, whose
father has ship rigging loft on Central
Wharf, was standing on the cross bar of the
door of the loft, at height of something
more than 80 feet from the ground. He was
endeayoring to reach a block, which is at
tached to a projecting beam outside the
building, intending to reeve rope through
it for the purpose of unloading a jigger
standing below. To maintain his balance he
held on to a wooden pin fastened to the side
of the door. The pin suddenly gave way and
he was precipitated into the vehicle beneath,
striking on his face and chest. He was
taken up in an insensible condition and car
ried to his home at ~ Smith street, where
he was attended by Dr. r. p. Scully In
addition to being considerably cut and
bruised about the face he suffered a disloca-
ton of the left elbow and his right wrist
was broken. Yesterday morning the patient
was able to sit up and is as well as could be
expected under the circumstances.

BIG BLAZE.
Long Wharf the Scene of Destruc-
tive Fire.

About $50 o'clock last night an alarm was
sounded from Box %, quickly followed by
the second, and the department got to Long
Wharf as quickly as possible. A damp
snow had fallen the first of the evening, fol-
lowed by rain about $50 O'clock which rem
dered the travelling simply fearful.
The fire was located in the seine loft of NJ.
S. Small d Co., No IA Long Wharf, which
is in two story wooden structure near the
foot of the wharf, and when the steamers
arrived the whole building was mass of
fire. 1t had been occupied as seine loft
for several years and was thoroughly satuT-
ated with tar and grease. Besides this the
loft was strung with seines in different
stages of construction ana barrels of tar sat
about the room. How the fire caught is a
mystery. The workmen left the building
about $50 o'clock, and then everything was
all right.
Mr.. Small informed our reporter that he
had $50, 900 worth of seines, and gear used in
the fishery business inside the building, all
of which is total loss. He also stated that
he was insured about $4,000 with Joseph FL.
Webster.
Lying at the west side of the wharf were
the schooners M. NJ. Chase, Maggie Powers
and John Somes. The tide was low and all
were aground. Their rigging was consider
ably damaged, but other wise they did not
suffer.
Ii anybody says we haven't a good fire de-
partment and cool chief engineer, con-
tradict the statement in the strongest terms.
During the fire perfect gale was blowing
up the wharf, carrying clouds of sparks and
binding and choking tar smoke far up into
the city. 1t was next to impossible to
breathe in the vicinity of the building, yet
our fire ladies stood their ground like men
and Chief Cloyes coolly directed their efforts.
In about an hour the fire was under control.
The fire was confined to the building in
which it originated, though at one time
everybody thought the flames would jump
across the narrow passage way between the
loft and the next building and devour the
whole block up to Commercial street.
[LATER.]
The burned building was owned by the
Sturteyant heirs and David Morton. 1t is
ruined, nothing but mere shell being left.
M. S. Small occupied the upper stories and
the fire is thought to have originated there.
The seines stored in SmalPs loft were own
ed by various parties Lewis, Chase & Whit
ten had seven seines and pockets stored there.
They were worth $500, and it was reported
last night that there was no insurance. The
lower story was occupied by E. FL. Chase &
Co., fish packers, and contained about 1000
barrels of mackerel worth $4,000. A por-
ton of this only is owned by Chase 81 Co..
and their loss is covered by insurance. The
loss ON the mackerel will be about one-half
of their value. The entire loss from the fire
will be 100000.
The Sturteyant heirs had $4,000 insurance
with the Home Insurance Company and
David Morton had $1,000 with tho Hartford

Cause of the Cambridge Disaster

One of the best reasons for the loss of the
Cambridge, we have heard advanced, says
the Belfast Journal, is from Capt John c.
Condor, of this city, who for many years has
fished in the vicinity of the Old Man, and is
as familiar with the coast as any man in
Maine. He says the current is governed by
the wind to large extent Hours before
an easterly wind there is strong current
setting in towards the shore. The wind
was easterly on the day of the disaster Capt.
Condor says, in his opinion, the strong cur
rent setting westerly struck the Cambridge
on the starboard bow, setting her inshore.
Of course the pilots understand the natural
course of the tides but they have no knowl-
edge of the abnormal cases. While the Cam
bridge was speeding along her usual , course
on that pleasant morning the treacherous
tide was cutting her inshore until it brought
her directly on to the Old Man.

Cheers and good deal of stamping greet
ed the result, and Mr.. T. F. Donahue, in
accordance with the usual custom, moved
that the nomination be made unanimous,
but before the question could be put several
vigorous ''noeS" attested the mind of a por-
ton of those present The chair called upon
the directors to rise, but they declared the
question already settled, and General Lynch
expressed the same opinion. The motion
was then Withdrawn, and Mr.. Josiah Chase
called for any man mean enough to refuse to
make the nomination unanimous to rise
Mr.. Peter Daily rose at once and said that
he didn't think the candidate an available
man, that he would not support him. and
that he did not regard himself any meaner
than the gentleman from Ward (Mr.
Chase either. Mr.; DAILY was loudly cheered.
Mr.. Chase said that he did not propose to
enter into any controversy. The spectators
evidently didn't mean that he should, and

down"

and secretary be a committee to wait upon
the candidate and inform him of his nomina-
ton, his reply to be made public in the

opinion that the candidate should be found
and brought before the convention, and Mr..
Mccarthy withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Thomas Hassett saw no reason for
deviating from the usual custom, and moved
committee of three be appointed to find the
candidate. Mr. Hassett's motion was favor
ably received, several enthusiastic admirers
encouraging him by shouting, "Good boy.
Hassett."
Mr.. Hassett, Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Donahue
were appointed as that committee, and re-
tired to find Judge Knight. They returned
after some considerable time, and Mr..
Hassett reported that they had attended to
their duties and introduced Judge Knight,
the candidate
Judge Knight was greeted with applause,
and in short speech said that the nominal
ton was not entirely unexpected to him,
although he had not sought it or allowed
anybody else to do so for him. He said that
he had the. cause. of the party at heart, al
though he had not been actively connected
the nomination had been rendered him with
reasonable unanimity, and he accepted it in
| like good faith. Judge Knight concluded
with the remark that he should, If elected,
conduct an administration of which none of
| his supporters need be ashamed.
The candidate was then applauded and the
| convention adjourned.
