Kuins of a Historic Church. El Paso, Texas, Oct. 17.—News just reached El Paso through some can government officials that just month ago the finishing touch was to the destruction of Banispe, in North Sonora,' by earthquake. Ever since of last year, when the first great shock occurred, the earth has trembled more less almost dally, so much so that only two large buildings w'ere erected in the place of the hundreds that stood there before.

THE LEGISLATURE WILL REPUBLICAN A Fair-Minded H«vi«w of l’olitics—Victory Fcrcliing on Dent' orratlc Harmer#—Tti® Pro¬ hibition Vote. Hartford, Conn., Oct. 13 — The ical outlook in Connecticutt at this ing may be thus summarized. Cleveland will carry Connecticut. Neither party will elect its state by the popular vote. The legislature will probably be lican again, and will elect to office candidates on the republican state ticket. The state has been close, very years. E. S. Cleveland (dem.) for gover¬ nor, 1,898 plurality in 1885, in a vote of 123,229; T. M. Waller, (dem.), -----------’ ility in 18..... he democ total vote of 187,257; plurality______, Garfield a Hancock in 1880, 1.299, in a total vote 132,798. These figures serve to illustrate the reasons for the prevailing uncertainty as to the result of November's election. Each party is to-day claiming a victory for its electoral ticket, and each has its reasons to urge for its confidence. But the drift of the popular vote of Connect¬ icut since 1880 has very evidently been toward the democratic side, and the fresh registration of this fall tends large¬ ly in that direction. The November vote for president can¬ not fall short of 140,000, and from the best information obtainable, the demo¬ cratic managers are justified in their claim that Mr. Cleveland will have from three to four thousand more votes than Mr. Harrison. The democratic situa¬ tion, it must be admitted even by the last republicans, thirty days. has improved within the A month ago the Mills bill free trade scare had demoralized many working¬ men whose affiliations are ordinarily with the democratic party. But the force and effect of that scarce 'has lieen spent. Thoughtful men have had time to reflect that there was a similar scare in 1884, and that the predictions of the republi¬ can orators that a democratic victory meant ruin to New England's industries were but so much campaign bluster. Manufacturing has not suffered, and no factories workingman needs to lie told that the of them are very running busy this fall, and many This is solid fact which over time. a no amount of republican campaign talk will offset. The prospects are, generally speaking, that tho voters will keep within their democratic respective party lines in November. The vote may Buffer siigbtly (roin the intimidation of democratic workmen by the large manufacturers, but the ex¬ tent and effect of such intimidation ap¬ pears to be overestimated. It was more effectual in 1884 than it can be this year, for the workingmeu are, not so easily frightened now as then, and labor organ¬ ization has given them confidence. On the other hand, the republicans will suffer somewhat from further deser¬ tions to the prohibition ranks, and to an extent which will fully equalize demo¬ cratic losses from intimidation. The la¬ bor party has gone to the wall in Con¬ necticut, and is scarcely worth consider¬ ing as a factor. It will not be likely to poll a thousand votes. The state ticket is next to lie consider¬ ed. As to this the republicans go into the fight with two great advantages. One is the constitutional provision which requires a majority instead of a mere plurality second is to elect state officers; and the that the legislature, upon which will devolve the election of state officers if they fail of election by the popular have “ ' vote, republican is reasonably majority. certain to (dem.), we a a for Waller plurality, but governor fell in 1884, had 1.636 jority; and Cleveland 1,904 short of a ma¬ in 1880, had 1, (dem.) for gover¬ nor 898 plurality, hut was 2,797 short of a majority. In both years the republicans secured the legislature and seated their state ticket candidates. The republicans, as a matter of party pride, will endeavor to elect their state ticket this year by the popular vote; but they rely for success in holding the reins of state government more upon retain-' ing their legislative supremacy than up¬ on the remote possibility of an elaction at the polls. Their energies, then, are being bent in the legislative direction, and in this they have the advantage of the peculiar town representation system in the legislative halls, in which little republican towns with a few hundred voters have as many votes upon the floor of the house as the larger places, which are the democratic strongholds. That the legislature elected in November will he republican is almost a certainty. If it were not. would be regarded as a po¬ litical earthquake in Connecticut. in The prohibitionists of the may work mischief some close towns in the coun¬ try sections, hut not enough probably to affect the general result. The guberato- rial vote is roughly estimated at 69,- 000 democratic, 67,000 republican and 6,000 prohibition, with a few hundred labor votes. To elect either the republi¬ can or democratic state ticket at the polls would require 71,000 votes, and nothing short of a tide, whose swelling is not yet apparent, would yield this number to either party. Ex-Mayor Morgan G. Bulkeley, of Hartford, the republican nominee, would he highly gratified if he could win by the---------' not er won__________________, lotl of 1882. Mr. Bulkeley is an adroit manip¬ ulator, every inch a politician, holding the strings of a liberal, purse, and glean¬ ing every field where votes may be se¬ cured. His opponent. Judge Luzon B. Morris, of New Haven, is a man of conservative character, who commends himaelf to the democratic party as a man of sterling w orth, and who will bo likely not only to hold his party vote, but to secure very considerable accessories from the mug¬ wump and the so-called “silent vote” of the State.

SULLIVAN’S NEW OPERA. Tho ‘Feoman of tho Guard'* Produced for the Flv»t Tim© in America. New York. Oct. 17. —[Special.]—The new opera, the “Yeoman of the Guard, or the Mcrryman and his Maid,” was played last night before a tremendous audience at the Casino theatre. It was originally be intended that the opera should produced on Monday night, but Mr. Aronson deemed the rehearsals incom¬ plete. It seems not too much to say that the ojiera not only scored a success, but is a far better piece of work than anything the talented pair have evolved for many years. It will not be a jwjiular opera in this country, if by popular is meant an ap¬ peal to the rabble, vide “Pinafore” and “The Mikado”; but it will have a long run, and will always lie a fashionable production. The artists who presented the ojiera last night included Miss Sylvia Gerrish, Miss Ber¬ tha Ricci, Miss Carry Rice, Miss Isalielle Urquhart, Frederick Miss Kate Uart, J. H. Riley, Long, Solomon, Henry Hallam, Chas. mi and George H. Broderick, George OI- Arthur W. Toms. There are hut two acts in the piece, the principal Phoebe part the being taken by Miss Gerrish as maid. The plot is laid in the time of King Charlas, and intro¬ duces the condemned Lord Fairfax and other historical characters with a horde of magnificent costumes of that period. Taken side by side, the libretto does not begin to compare in artistic elegance with the music, but the general effect is very good. Some of the songs are: “When a Maid¬ en Loves She Mopes Apart—An Owl Mopes on a Tree," sung by Guard,” Miss Gerrish; ana “The Song of the by Mr. Broderick; a trio entitled “How say You, Maiden, will You Wed ?” Fairfax’s song, “Is Life a Boon?" Warder’s chorus, duet, “I have a Song to Sing.” A company will be nut on the road during the latter end of the month. Big Fire In Brunswick.
