shaft in the Chrysalite mine, caused by
building was consumed, and the burn.
ing debris fell into the shaft setting 1t
on fire. The Vulcan connects with the
Chrysalite, Little Chief, American, Gil

at depth of one hundred and
twenty feet, all OF which filled
with carbonic acid and smoke, driving
the men from their work OF constructing
the bulk heads, six hundred feet away.
Twelve men were overcome by the
smoke, and barely saved their lives.
After great trouble the bulk heads were
built, preventing the fire from spread

a radius OF thirty miles from the Vulcan
shaft and are completely under control.
All the shafts are Theoretically closed to
exclude draughts, and will remain so
for four DAYS, and work will be suspend

longer. Nobody was seriously hurt.
The damage, about $4,000, was caused
by delay OF work. All the levels and
drifts are full OF gas.

THE ROOSTER CAMPAIGN.

Encouraging Reports from Every Section

to Coerce Workingmen.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 5.-There has
been great in gathering of Democratic
statesmen at the Capital TO day. They
came from all quarters OF the State, and
without exception bring reports en-
couraging TO the party managers. Al
lowing liberal discount from their
claims, the State must 90 Democratic by
not less than 10000. The men who re-
main at headquarters and are unlntiu-
enced by excited crowds and eXtrava-
CANT predictions put the plurality at
from c, 800 to $500. Mr.. Landers feels
verv confident of election, and, while
admitting that he does not occupy a
very good position for an impartial
Judgment, says he is certain his plural
lty will be considerably more than that
received by Gov. Williams in 1876,
which was over 5000. Mr.. Landcrs Is
paving more attention to the tariii queS-
ton as the campaign grows Older. lie
takes the ground in his speeches that,
however much the party may desire
free trade il will be wholly
Impracticable to Abolish the Tariff

debt. Not until the debt is pail will
the people be ready To submit To direct
taxation for purposes OF raising revenue.

tries, prof 'sses to entertain no fears Oi
hostile legislation on that point. lie
thinks the country is not yet prepared
to take up this question, and that II
will be time enough to debate 1t when
the nation is ont of debt and better able
to compete with other nations IN the
cheapness OF its productions. The Dem
ocratic managers say that the effect I
the protective tariff hurrah now being
made by the Republicans will be less
injurious than has been anticipated,
and that over Jealous Republican manu-
facturers are damaging their cause by
their
Open Attempts at Coercion.
The spirit OF resentment which isaroused
in the breast of workingmen was Illus
trated by the inscriptions, I'VE are not
owned by our employers and we

CONNECTICUT Town ELECTIONS.

An important confidential circular
issued by the Republican Congressional
Committee, and addressed TO agents and
attorneys interested in the payment OF
Southern claims, has Just come TO light
in Washington, in which it is admitted
that in the event OF General Hancock's s
election, no further payments of that
nature could be hoped ior, and the as
sertion made that the interests OF both
claimants and attorneys would be bet
ter promoted by the election OF
Garfield than OF Hancock, as the
Republicans have ever been more
favorable to the payment OF all classes OF
claims than the Democrats. In view OF
the recent Radical howl about "Rebel
claims" this document is decidedly in
teresnng. The Republicans being fond
of making the assertion that General
Hancock's recent letter on Southern
claims does not meet the approval OF the
people of the South. We print, this
morning, list OF few OF the promi-
nent Southeners who have cordially APP
proved the stand he has taken. Mon

cans had made large gains in the
Connecticut municipal elections, and

were jubilant, but later and more COM
