DAY ON WALL STREET.
Plethora Of Share Offerings Depresses
the General Market.

New YORK, April 2l.-The publication
of reports outlining The proposed plan of
reorganization of the New York and New
England Railroad company, not only
caused a selling movement in the stock
particularly affected, but depressed the
entire list. With the exception of frac-
tiOnal rally shortly after IL O'Clock, the
tendency of prices was downward from
the opening to the close of business. The
speculation was fairly active for a Satur-
day, but was principally confined to New
England. Chicago Gas and Sugar with ST
Paul and General Electric less prominent
in the transactions and the rest of the list
rather neglected. There was brisk sell
ing of New England at the opening, the
first sale being at decline of "a per cent
and then came an additional break of
per cent, which was followed by a
recovery Of II with a final reaction of Is,
making the loss on the day per cent.
Reports of cutting rates and labor troubles
IN the west helped to depre-s the market
generally, but fluctuations were, as rule,
confined within narrow limits, the only
shares which, compared with yesterdays
figures, show a loss of more than a frac-
ton, being Oregon improvement ~. The
grangers show a decline of to Is aud
Missouri Pacific Is. In the final trading,
covering of short contracts caused re-
covery OF about all the reaction. but the
updertOne of the close was heavy.
The railway and miscellaneous bond
market WAS ouly moderately active today
but was firm in tone until near the close
when in sympathy with the share specu-
lation prices gave way slightly, the close
being about steady.

ARIZONA COAL.
A Chance to Tap the Deerfield De-
 pOSit,

poSit.
 Thos. Anderson who is interested in the Deerfeld coal mines on the line be- tween Plnal and Graham counties came to town yesterday to meet officials of the north and south road with reference to the construction of the road in prox- unity to the mines. None of the off cialt were in the city and he returned last night. The mines are located about twenty miles south of San Carlos and fifty miles from Stafford, the nearest railroad station.
 Should the north and south road be built on what is known as the upper or Colton route it would pass within twenty miles of the mines The near est station would be Dudleyville. An derson wishes to get branch from Dudleyville. The coal is semi -bitumi- nous and the deposit is apparently ex- haustless. A curious circumstance is that the coal lies in an inclinad vein like the usual ore ledge. instead of flat or horizontal vein.

men, and that these Democrats will do nothing to aid in this union. Iowa, it seems to me, will be overwhelmingly Republican.
 Day before yesterday was "Black Friday" for the Democratic leaders in Washington. They have endeavered to keep bold face to the enemy, and many of them fear that dangerous consequences may result from "swap- ping horses in the middle of the stream" They are not generally dis posed to go to Republicans for guidance, but the wisest Democratic leaders pri- yately admit that the warning words of Abraham Lincoln may be prophetic as to the action of the Democrats of New ork. The leaders at Democratic headquart. CTS are particularly Respondent for, they know that there is little hope of obtaining enough members of the next house for the purpose of organiza- tiea if they do not control majority of the delegation from New York. It is acknowledged also that the discord in New York is having 8 bad effect upon the congressional campaign in other states. The reports received this week from Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana and other western states are such as to confirm the opinion the man. agers have formed.
 From the south comes the same re- port. The Republicans will carry many of the southern districts.

 SEATTLE, Wash. Oct. 27.-The bodies of sixteen persons-ten men, three women and three children-burned to death in West street house early this morning have been recovered.
 The building was mere shell of wood covered with iron. It was hotel, be- ing near the railroad depot, and a cheap, reputable house, and was much patronized by the country people. The fire was undou btedly caused by the ex- plosion of lamp in the kitchen in the rear of the house.
 At 2:45 the fire was under control and search for the bodies commenced. and by o'clock fifteen had been re- covered. The most of the bodies were -charred beyond recognition, arms and legs being burned of and features hor- rlDly ulSlOFGeu.
 In corner of a small inside room two charred and naked skeletons met the gaze. The flesh was burned from each, and the first, that of man with blackened stumps of arms, seemed to be upright, and clutehing his waist was a skeleton of a woman; the eyes were burned from the sockets of each. The bodies were taken to the morgue this morning in boxes and canvass sacks. Some of them were so badly burned that only the wrappings held the limb bs and trunk from falling asunder.
 The arrangement of the halls of the hotel made such labrynth that in day time one unfamiliar with the place would have difficulty in finding his way out without several attempts, and when the halls were filled with smoke there was little chance for any one to grope his way out before being suffocated.

NO END OF GOLD.
The Wonderful Mine at Fools
 Canyon.
A Mexican Tells a Startling Story of the Richness of the Late Find
 on the Hassayampa.

The truth of the marvellous wealth of the Grijalva mine on the Hassayampa is coming out by degrees. The won derful ledge was discovered by accident less than three months ago and it's dis coyery lay among lot of Mexicans. They were so jealous that they guarded approaches to it and men armed with shotguns stood off inquisitive visitors It was only known that the face of the country had been washed away by a June flood and that wealth hidden per haps for centuries had been brought to the surface and that Fools cahon was likely to become famous. All the surrounding country was inn mediatelv located and most of the claims are supposed to be of great value. But about the first and pivotal one the Grijalva claim an air of mystery has hung. Great mug gets of virgin gold have been brought to the city, and the Grijalyas have re- ceived many tempting offers. one of $50, ,000 for the mine which some said was only pocket. The owners re- mained silent and unsatisfactory, but kept at work, and prospectors in the Vii cinity kept guessing and locating. So much gvessing was done, though, that the fame of Fools canyon spread abroad and newspaper representatives of eastern and European papers resid- ing in Phoenix were lmportuned for facts concerning the find. They had none to offer. It is true that visitors were by this time admitted to the claim, but only to part of it.
 Last night Jose Peralta came to town and told story about the mine which has never been told before. He has been working for the Grijalvas but has quit, but he says that mine at Fools canyon IS the richest mine ever discovered in America, the richest at any rate he has ever seen and he has seen all the big mines on the coast since the first one was discovered by white men.
 He says that they are working the three arastres and that no ore which does not run $50 ton is handled. The production is $1 200 week at an expense of $25. But $50 8 ton has really nothing to do with the richness of the ore. Peralta has no idea how rich it is but as an instance of it's wealth of gold he relates his expert ence of single day.
 In preparing ore for the arastre it is necessary to caush it by hand. In the course of crushing sometimes nuggets of gold are thrown out. In one day in this way he discovered nuggets which amounted to more than $200 saying nothing of the rest of the rich ore left for development by the arastre. There is, Peralta says, no apparent limit to the extent of that wonderful four foot ledge.
 A legal contest for the possession of 4he Griialva claim is developing. An old prospector named Flacci has been brought to the surface and he says he was the first man on the ground after the Hassayampa flood swept the debris of centuries away. He says that he let Pedro GrijaIva, the old man, into the secret and that night Grijalva got him drunk and bought his right for the pitt ful sum of $200. He is going to try to find out if that drunken transaction ''goes."

 sand.
News of a Most DiScouraging Character Received at Democratic Head
 quarters.
Special to THE REPUBLICAE.

Special to THE REPUBLICAN.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-There have been two voices here today from Ohio. Ex-Congressman Ben Lafevre fresh from the state which he has served so many years in congress, said to Dem ocrat, who is personal friend, in the greatest confidence: 'If we work without interruption until election day, and make no mistakes, and are perfect ly united, believe that we shall be able to keep the Republican majority in Ohio down to 100000"
 The information seemed to be too amusing to be kept, and although Ben Lafevre made the statement with the utmost. earnestness, his Democratic friend could not restrain himself from taking others into his confidence, and with them the public. The statement of General Lafevre emphasizes in wig orus way the gloomy view which many
  Ohio Democrats take of the proba ble result in their state. General Lafevre is political friend and co-worker with Senator Brice.
 Another voice from the west is that of ex-Congressman Butterworth. He said: 1T have given the month of Oc tober to the Republican congressional campaign committee, and am on the stump. I am travelling from the west to the east. I have been in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, and am now going to New York. It seems to me that the drift is all one way. In Nebraska. where the Populists have been so, i'm portant factor in politics, there is certain to be a general revulsion. told the people from the stump that their endorsement of Populism was injuring the business interests and the credit of the state. Some said to me that the information would not be well come and would be resented. I found, on the contrary. that it was welcome, and the Democratic business men very generally agreed with me. I discovered that the Democratic business men of Nebraska and Kansas are generally going to vote the Republican ticket in order to rid their states of the incubus of Populism and to restore those rich states to the prosperity at home and the credit abroad which they deserve. The Democratic business men are sus- picious of the Democratic politicians because they have consented in the past to unions with the Populists and have become too much involved with them"
 Their entire drift is toward absolute state paternalism and state socialism. The consequence is that they have dis gusted the Democrats, who are busi- ness men, and thousands of common sense Democrats who are not business
