are now equally divided between the two
parties. The rule Of pacification being

and select men. comparing with 1876, the
| Republicans gain IS towns, and the Demo
Gratis six, and the nine divided towns we're
Democratic in 1876, and are therefore Re-
publican gains. The result may be taken
as indicating that the Republicans will
carry the State in November. The Con-
stitutional Amendment giving the appoint
ment Of Judges of the Courts to the
Governor, is carried by a large majority.
s.. A. Hubbard, Managing Editor Of the
Courant, and the Inter Oceans Hartford
correspondent, also says: There are 167
towns in the State, and it is believed the
| gains in the towns to hear from will be in
| the above proportion. The result is re-
garded by the Republicans as every way
favorable to the prospects of Republican
success in November. The best Of spirits
prevail among the Republicans throughout
the State. The registry law is much more
favorable to an honest vote than in 1876.
Business men and manufacturers are sat
isfied with the present prosperity. Work
ing men fear the result of Democratic
trickery with the tariffs, all Of which adds
strength to the Republicans.

Fire I'm the Mines.
LEADvILLE, COL, October 5.-A fire
started at s o'clock yesterday morning in
the shaft-house Of the old Vulcan shaft, in
the Chrysolite mine, caused by q sick
miner dropping his candle. The building
was consumed, and the burning debris
fell into the shaft, setting it on fire. The
Vulcan connects with the C~hrysolite, Little
Chief, Annie, Climax and Little Pittsburg,
by drifts at q depth of 1870 feet, all of which
were filed with carbonic acid gas, and the
smoke driving the men from their work of
constructing bulkheads. Six hundred feet
away twelve men were overcome by the
smoke, and barely saved their lives. After
great trouble the bulkheads were built,
preventing the fire from spreading. The
flames are confined to a radius of s0"feet
from the Vulcan shaft, and ia completely
under control. All the shafts are hermet-
ically closed, to exclude the drafts, and
will remain so for four days. Work will
be suspended on all the mines for a week
longer. Nobody was serio usly hurt. The
damage is about $40, 900, caused by delay
OF work. ALI the levels and drifts are full
Of gases.
