 UNCERTAIN DESTINATION Col. McCord's regiment is expected to leave Whipple barracks today Just where it will go is uncertain. Orders had been issued sending it to Lexington, Ky, but it was reported yesterday that it would be sent to San Francisco to embark for the Philippines.

It lis only known now that the regiment is going somewhere.
 THE DEAD BADGER.-The Curio's
 badger, that delightful little animal which has amused hundreds during it's short residence oi seven months in Phoenix, is no more. It succumbed yesterday 10 an attack of distemper. its last act was to crawl from it's hole in which j. had hidden for days, stag ger to the side of it's owner and look up into his face as if to tell him he was about to lose it. It served one purpose, if no more. It gave people wl:o studied it warmer feeling for all dumb animals and especially for the tribe of badgers.
 SEAT OF CONVENTIONS- It is probable that hereafter all territorial conventions, both republican and dem Cclatic, will be held in Phoenix. That was the sense of very large majority of even the northern delegates at both the late conventions. No fault was found with the hospitality of the peo- pie of Prescott, for their kindness and generosity could not have been out dore. The difficulty and expense of ccnvening from all parts of the terri tory at any other town than Phoenix was recognized. Phoenix would in particular be much more accessible to the people Of Giia and part cf PinaI county who could conveniently make the journey across country and avoid long stage rides to 8 railroad to be still confronted by long and tires0me trip. Besides, Phoenix is adequately sup piled with hall and notel facilities.
 SMASHED \ BUGGY.-J. D. Reed's big team Of dray horses made it's de- but late yesterday afternoon as run aways. They were standing in front Of Doris Bros. furniture store, tied to Q post with a light rope What scared. them is not apparent. They dashed diagOnally across Washington street and turned down Wall street
 .he near horse slipped on the narrow sidewalk on the left side and fell down, the ponderous dray, used for hauling safes and other heavy weights. running partially over him. The fall checked the flight of the other horse and willing hands quickly exricated both from their difficulty. A buggy belonging to John Miller, who lives four miles north of Phoenix, was badly wrecked by the hsavy dray The buggy was standing in front Of the Bank Ex- change and the dray showed against 1t with sufficient force to literally wreck the wheels on the right side The buggy pole was snapped in half dozen pieces. People on Wall street, seeing the dray team coming. made a rapid march fer convenient doorways.
