New YORK, August 5.-The follow
ing is a special dispatch to the DAILY
Necs, received late this evening:
RALEIGH, n. C. August 5.
In the seventy-four counties officially
heard from, Caldwell's majority foots up
about 1900. Those yet to be heard
rom are Ashe. Allegheny, Cherokee,
CLAW, Currituck, Hyde, Jackson, Ma
con, Montgomery, Surrey, Swaine, Tran,
sylvania, Tyrole, Watagua and Wilkes.
The following was the Democratic ma
jority in these counties in 1870: Ashe,
90; Allegheny, PIG; Cherokee, 2lS;
Clay, "A; Currituck, 500; Hyde, l25 ;
jackson, 35S; Macon, 2S4; Mont
gomery, Ga; Polk, 200; Surrey, 4l4;
Transylvania, 2lS; Watagua, l24 /;
Wilkes, Total Democratic majority
in 1870, 229O.
Swaine is one Of the new counties OF
the State. Northampton, which gave
Republican majority in 1870, OF BAL,
is the only Republican county to hear
from, thus it will be seen that the Dem
ocratic success is certain, for persons
who arrived from beyond the Blue
Ridge, report that the Conservatives had
gained in Jackson, Polk and Wilkes
counties in the first Congressional dis
trict, where extensive frauds occurred.
Cobb will doubtless be counted in by
the Republicans.

CHICAGO.
An Extensive CophagratiOn.

CHICAGO, August 5.-The iron grai q
elevator, located at the junction OF the
Menominee river and the North Branch
containing about 10000 bushels OF
corn and 10000 bushels OF oats, was
burned to the ground at about half'past
four this morning. The loss is esti-
mated at 1925, 900, principally covered
by insurance. Hugh Maher was the
lessee, and is a heavy loser. This
building was an old frame structure
some fifteen years ago, and was worth
not more than $50, 1000.
There was wind blowing from the
southwest at the time the fire broke
out, which carried sparks over to the
north east and set fire to the large ele,
vator of Armour, Munger & Co., which
is nearly completed, having been erect
ed since the fire. No damage was done
to the building. The lumber aud coal
Yards surrounding the elevator on three
sides were saved with only nominal
damage.
Messrs. Baxter and Co., Of the !um.
Der yard, lost about $500 worth OF
boards and square timber; their insur-
ance amounts to $4,000. Waldron,
Niblack g. Co. lose about $4,000 on q
coal shed which joined the elevator,
covering some 10000 tons Of hard
coal, which latter was not damaged to
any rreat extent.
