Returns of the State election and Gubcr natorial vote have been received from 220 towns, leaving 21 to be heard from. The Congressional vote has been received from 202 towns, leaving 89 towns to be heard from. The Gubernatorial vote stands as follows: Far a ham, Republican, 48,823 Phelps, Democrat, 20,717 Heath, Greenback, 1,530 Farnham's majority over all, 26,576. The same towns gave in 1876, Fairbanks, Republican, 44,065 Bing ham. Democrat, 20,820 scattering, 73: Fairbanks'majority, 23,672. This shows a Republican gain of 2,904, and a Demo cratic gain of 897 in 220 towns. The towns to be heard from gave, in 1875, Fairbanks, Republican, 63)8 Bingham, Democrat, 668. But if the Republican gain in the remaining 21 towns is propor tionate to those heard from, Farnham's majority will be at least 26,936.

In the First Congressional District 74 towns gave Joyce, Republican, 13,150 Randall, Democratic, 5,448 Martin. Greenback, 685 Joyce's majority, 7,067, In the Second Congressional District, in 72 towns, Tyler, Republican, has 14,782

On this basis thn Republican majority over ait will be about 22,500, and their plurality about 27,000. The* Legislature wiil have but one Democratic Senator. The House is overwhelmingly Republican,

A Deadly Pit.

LONDON, September 8—NOON—An ex plosion occured this morning at Seaham Collery. near Durham. Both shafts wore blocked, though half a mile apart. Between two hundred and fifty and three hundred men arc in the pit. 5 P. M. The explosion in Seaham Collery occured at 2:80 o'clock this morning.

All

three shafts

of the mine were blocked, the cages being fastened in them. There is no reason as as yet to believe that the pit is on fire, but it is ferad the bulk of the men have been killed. Seventeen men who were in the pit at the time of the explosion are safe.

LONDON, September 8—10 P. M.—A dispatch from Seaham Collery this evening announces that forty men who were working in the two upper seams of coal haue been found safo and well. Some of them volunteered and are helping to rescue their comrades, who are seventy rathoms lower. The bottom of both shafts is still blocked with debris.

A later telegram reports that up to seven o'clock a total of fifty-seven men had been rescued, a majority In an exhausted condition. So far there is no sign of fire, but it is evident that there must be a large ac cumulation of gas One hundred and fifty men are still in the pit.

Fiery Death and Owtniftlnn N*w YORK, September 8.—A dispatch from Upton, Province of Quebec, says One of the most terrible occurrences In the history of this section of the country, was afire which swept through a portion of this village Monday, carrying ruin and death in its tracks, both to man and baa&t. Bush fires have been numerous for some time, and little attention was given to them. The high wind of Monday fanned the flames until the inhabitants, about 8 o'clock, saw with dismay a wall of flames come round them with a steady sweep as fast as a man could run, and swallowing up everything in its course.

By 4 o'clock the first farm-house had been reach oil. The fire ran along the rail-fences, burning grain, and the wind sent sparks in all directions. So quickly was one farmhouse after another enveloped that men. women and children had barely time to escape out of the line until fire was upon them. As night drew on the flames increased in volume, while the wind rose and swept a space of about twelve miles io length and covering a width of from three to four miles. It is certain that some seventy five families have been burned out, representing near ty four hundred and fifty persons* The \om of life cannot as yet be ascertained, but It must be considerable

Great R. R. Wreck

On the I. & St. L. Near St. Mary's.

East Bound Express Thrown Down a Deep Embankment at Sugar Creek Bridge and the Conductor, Mr.

Morris, InstantlyKilled.

The 1:28 train over the,

A St. L.

coming east on time last night,

was

wrecked at a bridge, about one and a half miles west of St. Mary's station, killing the conductor. Mr. Morrison, and slightly wounding two ladies. The train was an express train, and carried the maii, with a baggage

car, two

coaches, one sleeper and a chair car. Tho second rail from the bridge, west, was unbolted. by removing

the tap and bolt,

which hold the rails together, and slip ping the rail on the south side of the track about the thickness of the rail north, just enough displaced to throw the train from the track, but not enough to attract the attention of the engineer, who might be looking out. The wheel of the engine .struck the rail with the raised flange, and run on to the bridge ami jumped the track, running across, with the entire train upon the lies, with the exception of the chair ear, which stood on the two sleepers of the bridge.

The baggage* car became detached from the engine and was thrown down the deep embankment south of the track,-carrying with it the first coach, which fell further down and was the only car which was badly demolished, the entire front part of the cat being literally smashed up. I'nfortunately the conductor was just in this car passing back through ihe train from the baggage car. lie had just entered the door and was standing near the stove when the shock came, which threw him against the car. the side of his head near the temple striking first, which caused his death. The next car was only thrown partly down the. embankment and the passengers outside of being a little shaken up, with a few slight bruises were not otherwise hurt.

The damage to the road outside of the loss of life is very considerable, estimated at several thousands of dollars. There is no clue as yet to the perpetrators of this most hellish crime. There are many conjectures as to the Jobjeet of the wreck, The spot selected was suitable for robbery, were robbery Intended, for the bridge is about 25 or 5to feet high and high banks on either side each way from the bridge, with a deep ravine or gulch, running down from the north, with heavy timber on both sides, making escape or concealment very easy. If it was moJicr or revenue, a better, place could not have been selected, for the greatest wonder to us is that there were not a great rrmny more lives lost. It seems that other escapes to injury Were almost miraculous

ThMrat*

was

also torn up.at the public

crossing east of the bridge, about some five hundred yards and ties and limbers thrown across the tract. The Corner held an inquest on the body of Mr. Morrison, but adjourned for further testimony.
