Tho Virginia City Fire.
Loss from sS,OOO,OoO to $lO,OOO,OOO

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-Consofidated
Virginia stock declined 800 per share
yesterday; California declined So; Ophir
$13; Gould and Curry So. The amount
OF insurance held in the burnt district OF
Virginia City is supposed to be about
$1,0O0,000. The fire has now burned out
and all danger is at an end.
The only portion OF the city saved is
from Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express office
south, which includes Works, Gould &
Curry, Savage, Hall and Norcross and
Chalian mines. The mines are flooded
with water. The Andes works escaped
narrowly. The excitement in San Fran.
cisco is intense.
The general opinion is that miners
will be cut off from dividends for the
next month. Reliable adyices have not
been received from mining superintend.
ents, because all have been hard at work
subduing the flames. Gold Hill, Silver
City and Cans extend hospitalities to
homeless sufferers. The Enterprise will
be issued from Gold Hill. The News
and Chronicle did not issue this NOR
ming. Two men were killed by a falling
wall.
Later reports put the loss at $S,0OO,0O(
| to SIC, 900, 900.

hearsay. The suicide was about hVe
and half feet in height, regular fea atures,
unshaven, dark hair and was apparently
a German by birth. He wore dark
brown coat, blue and black striped
shirt, brown pants and heavy navy
shoes.
At the Coroner's investigation it was
ascertained' that he was married man,
but not living with his wife, and that his
parents reside on Elm street, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, but
his name has not transpired. A verdict
OF suicide was rendered, in accordance
with the facts elicited.
This morning, q gentleman named
Rehlfulpher, who was somewhat under
the influence OF liquor, paced the New
Orleans wharfboat for some time, and
finally rushed to its edge and jumped
into the river.
A colored man--a roustabout on one Of
the boats-puiledsof his coat. plunged
into the water, rescued Mr.. Rehlfulpher
and brought him ashore. When ques-
toned, he assigned no reasons for the
rash act, but simply stated his name,
gave his residence as Gallipolis, Ohio,
and said he had been engaged as mate
on the towboat Etna, but at the present
time was out OF employment.

The Diamond swindIe Again.

After the death of w. c. Ralston, a San Francisco paper published char ges rejecting upon him in regard to this notorious swindle. In meeting to generally vindicate MT. Ralston, Col. W. H. L. Barnes made the fol- lowing remarks:
 In the course of my professional business, it became my duty to pre- pare the preliminary papers for the organization of that diamond com pany. l know what MT. Ralston thought and what he felt. know that in his confidence in the report of one of the most distinguished scien- tifc mining engineers of this country or any other, who declared that to be 8 genuine and most astonishing dis covery, Ralston put his money in it. If he ever said one word in its favor to a friend, or anybody through his influence, when that thing was over, when the fraud that was perpetrated upon every man concerned in that company had been disclosed to the world, what did he do? This man, who undertook to rob the public with the diamond swindle? He gave them back their money out of his own pock- let (applause) and it cost hilu over three hundred thousand dollars, but he did it like man, without mur- mur or quiver. lApplause.) That record, like every other record of that mans life of which I ever heard, in stead of containing for him single spark of dishonor, IS but another tri- bute to the honesty and integrity of his life and his willingness to suffer to the last dollar, and the last drop, rather than that any man should look him in the face and say: "I suffer through you"

Items from Camp Grant.

MT. Warner Buck arrived from Grant on Wednesday evening. He reports that on last Sunday morning assoldier named Mackey and civilian named Knox were playing cards, had a dispute, and the latter pounded the former; and then that Mackey shot Knox, the ball entering the neck in front and passing backwards, and was taken outnear the shoulder. Knox at latest accounts was believed to be in a fair way to recover.
 Lieut.. Philip Reade, superintendent of the government telegraph, and R. H. Howe left Grant about week ago for Santa Fe, where they will begin to construct the telegraph to connect the Arizona line by way of Fort Bay ard and Apache to Grant. We under stand that New Mexico's claim to having the remainder of the line built from Santa Fe westward, was regard ed with favor and accordingly the work will be done. So far as Ari- zona is concerned, the difference amounts to but little, for the line must be connected through before it would serve our people much better than at present. We are informed that Lieut.. Reade and MT. Howe will at once pro ceed to select the route and put up the poles and wire.

Large Party of Immigrants.

MT. J. E. Magee who arrived from New Mexico last week, when this side of Santa Fe and near Salisteo, met about seventy persons, including few women and children, en route to the Hassayampa section in Ari- zona. They come under the aus pices of the Arizona Mining Associa- tion, and under immediate direction of A. W. Callen, General Manager of the organization. They have above thirty wagons, ambulances and bug gies, mostly draw by oxen. J. M. Bennett, of New York, is president of the association s. Richards, vice. president; J. Bell, Treasurer, and D. Mitchell, secreatry-the last three being from Kansas. Among the lead ing members are W. B. House, John Whitman, Joe Stewart, Charles l.. Tinkham, Geo. Waddell, Wm. Il. Roberts and Henry Pierson.
 MT. Magee very properly suggests that the leading men about Prescott take some steps to point out to any of these people that need direction, the best places to locate, as some of them are farmers, stock men and mechanics as we'll as miners. With little eff fort on the part of those we'll acquain- ted with the country and its peculiari- ties, great aid can be given new corners, at no cash outlay either; and such effort will have the best of in fuence on them, both as to impress ing them favorably with the people and country and inducing them to make favorable reports to their friends in the States.

The People and Justice Dunne.

Arizonas Chief Justice will proba- ply now admit that the opposition to him is not confined to his former friends, nor to any religious sect, nor can it be ascribed alone to his position on the public school system. Without regard to positive differences of opin- ion on many subjects of general and local interest, officials and people unite in harmony against him, a circum- stance that never occurred in this community, before, to the knowledge of any one with whom we have conversed Such a general condemnation of an of ficer and man, we have never known before. Men of all shades of political and religious opinion unite Tn opposi tion to him. Nearly every man of any prominence, whose name does not ap pear to any of the documents publish ed today, is open in his expression that so far as Arizona is concerned, Judge Dunne should retire to private life. The late day that we received the documents, precludes extended con- ment this but will not next week. Ii would be as undeserved as it would be unnecessary, to extend sympathy to a man whose conduct has induced the people to officially and individually condemn him as in this case. He has indulged his peculiarities, and the peo- pie, any one of whose rights are equal to his, have exercised privilege they possess. No man is so completely con demned as he is, except upon reasons which the people believe demand the condemnation.

of women and children could be heard in every direction. Water is six feet deep in streets. About two o'clock Friday morning the wind veered to the northwest, and the waves washed hous- es away or tumbled them to pieces. The wind toward morning came to a lull, and It veered north; then came hope until daylight began to break, when we beheld the awful destruction around and thanked God we had been saved. Our piteous condition was nothing compared with the suffering of our neighbors and citizens Day light revealed a scene that was terrible to behold. The town could not be rec ognized as the IndianOla of the day previous Total ruin existed every where; neighbor met neighbOr and they told their troubles and tribula- tions. There is death and destruction all around us; houses crushed to the ground; others swayed around and leaning over. The wind is slowly dy- ing down and water is disappearing. Bodies of men, women and children were found in all directions Organ ized search was made for missing peo- pie. How many lives were lost in this fearful storm, it is impossible to learn Up to this hour, sixty or seventy bodies have been found and buried. Women were found and men also, who had foated off long distances on doors or anything they could get The escape of so many is almost marvellous. Search for bodies is still going on. The num- Der known to be drowned, will never be known, as there was a large number of strangers in town. We estimate the number at one hundred and fifty,
 Later information says the town of Matagorda is swept away-only two houses left standing. The town of Ce- dar Lake is washed away and all the people lost, Information from East Barry states suffering among people is terrible.
 CINCINNATI, September 23.-The Times southern special says parties from Indianola, who were there dur ing the cyclone, fully confirm the most sensational reports of destruc- ton of life and property. Out of three hundred houses only five are left standing. During Thursday night, 16th inst, the storm was at its height, water in the river rose six feet deep in two hours, the wind blowing gale and driving the water and breakers through the city fifteen miles an hour, sweeping everything in its way and securing the plains in the rear of the city for @ distance of ten miles to 8 depth of seven feet. Several small settlements numbering total popula- tion of about one hundred and fifty souls were swept out of existence, with two hundred and fifty lives lost at Indianola; total loss of four hundred lives. The stench from dead bodies | lying exposed in the devastated coun- try, is almost intolerable. A Mexi- can marauding party have been rob- ping the dead, chopping off fingers, hands and ears to obtain the jewelry they wore. A party of civilians kill ed five Mexicans who were caught in the act.
