CINCINNATI, October 12.-Returns
from 20 precincts in Hamilton coun-
ty show a net Democratic gain of
467. This is nearly one-third of the
county, and indicates a net Demo-
cratic gain of 1900. This would still
leave a Republican majority in the
county of 2400.
COLUMBUS, October 12.-At Re-
publican headquarters claims are
now made that their majority in the
state will be considerably over 30
600. At Democratic headquarters
returns have been received which,
up to this hour, gives the Democrats
a net gain of over 500 in the state !;
at the latter place comparison is
made upon the vote for secretary of
state. The present Republican gains
may not improbably be dissipated
as returns come in from remote
counties, which are generally Demo-
cratic.
Two hundred and fourteen pre-
cincts of this state show a Republic
can gain of 1000.
COLUMBUS, October 49, Seven

T. NJ. h" election passed of quiet
". No disturbance has been report
cd from my quarter. The vote pOlled
is very large, but there is nothing to
indica'e the result as yet. In this
city there was considerable scratch
ing on candidates for governor and
congressman. Comparisons of re-
turns will be made with the vote for
governor in 1876. The ticket has
twenty nine names, and no counting
is done until after the close of the
polls, and it will necessarily be late
before reliable news can be had.

covered in the Academy ofMusic, on
the beautiful west side of the theater,
on Halstead street, near Madison,
and before the flames could be con-
trOlled the entire interior OF the
building was destroyed, leaving the
walls standing. When the fire had
been burning little more than fifteen
minutes a crash was heard and por-
ton of the roofon which were annm-
Der of firemen, fell, creating terrible
CONSERVATION. 1t was some time
before the extent of the disaster was
, appreciated, and then the work of
rescuing the unfortunate men be-
gan. 1t was found that some had
saved themselves by clinging to a
portion which had not fallen into
the fire. Marshal Williams was
helped out through the main en-
trance staggering and bloody, but
without serious injury. Theo. Burn
hardt, fireman, was taken out badly
burned and with internal injuries,
which il is believed are fatal. C.. w.
Banker of the Hook and Ladder
company, and Lieut.. Palmer, are bad
" wounded about the lower limbs

fatal injuries. Assistant Fire Mar
shall Peterie was on the roof when
il fell, and chung to portion Of the
rear wall, but II gave way, and he
fen with the Others to the bottom,
breaking his right leg and receiving
other injuries. Three men, named
Anderson, DAILY and Heitmar, Of
the hook and ladder, fell TO the bot
tom unhurt. The IRE originated
among the fiues back Of the stage, and
spread to the scenery and roof with
incredible rapidity. The loss IL not
vet known, but Is heavy. This thea
ter was destroyed about three years
ago, having been the leading place
OF amusement in this city amer the
great fire until the South Side Thea
ter was rebuilt. Nearly $4,000 were
spent in redecorating itthis summer.
