FIRE IN THE FORT HOME.
STEAD TUNNEL.

At about 2 o'clock this morning, the
Fort Homestead railway tunnel,
in Gold Hill, was discovered to be on
fire. The alarm was promptly sound
ed By the steam whistle at the Impe-
rial Hosting Works. Owing to tho
prompt aud energetic action OF Abe
Jones, Chief Engineer OF the Gold
Hill Fire Department, and a number
Of the members of Liberty Hose and
Engine Companies of Gold Hill, the
railroad company and the community
at large were spared a repetition Of the
American Flat Tunnel disaster. As
soon as the alarm was given, the few
men that could be hastily mustered at
that early hour In the morning. run
out some 700 feet of hose from Liber-
TVS snpine-house. and attaching 1t to
the Main street hydrant opposite the
engine.house. strung the hose along
the railroad track to the point where
the fire Was raging, about one-third Of
the way through the tunnel from the
west entrance. Chief Jones, Heber Hol-
man, Jot Householder, Mr.. Willis,
Mr.. Clark of the Yellow jacket, and
Nick Vipont, night Waterman at thu
tunnel. while manipulating the hose,
came near being ~suffocated by the
smoke, which poured out from the
burning lsggiug In great volumes. BY
getting down on their hands and knees
however. they managed to direct a
powerful stream upon the burning tim
bers, and, presently got the fire under
control. Tney were occupied. never
thele.s, until morning, in putting out
the sparks which made their appear
ance from time to time. The fire
caught in the timbers OH the lett side
of the tunnel, counting from the west
ern or Gold Hill entrance. The dsm-
age occasioned by the fire vas confined
to three sets Of timbers, which were
not seriously Injured, with the excep.
ton Of being badly charred. The orl-
gin of the fire was somewhat Of a mys-
terry. The night Waterman, as was his
usual custom, carefully inspected the
tunnel last night shortly. after the last
train passed through it, and found
everything apparently correct. It Is
possible that some spark, s%lumbering
in the tagging, may have been famed
into activity By the currents OF air
coursing through the tunnel. The
men named above, who. In the midst
of a stifiing smoke staid at their work
and checked what might have been u
disastrous conflagration, are serving OF
great credit. Mr.. Long, train dis
patcher, rendered efficient service In
subduing the flames, together with =
number Of other gentlemen, whose
names are not at u command. The
members Of Monumental Engine Co.
No. 6. on tho Divide. came down to
the Main street crossing with their ell
CINE, but the services Of the gallant
"Sixes" were not called into reQut-
sition.

FROM OREGON.
Feeling About tho Medsc Massnere-
IL 10 C~spdemued By Every One
Perpetrators should Hang with
Capt. Jack.

PORTLAND, (Oregon) June lo.-The
heartless murder Of the Modocs Is gen
orally condemned, although the pre-
vailing sentiment is that II they receive
their deserts, all will bs legltimstely
hung or shot eventually. Tho Orego-
nian to-day says we hope for tho
credit of Oregon, for the good name OF
the men who volunteered to chase the
Modoc band, 1t may be proved that
the Internal deed was not committed
by Oregonian soldiers. For the sake
of Justice and good government, we
hope the perpetrators Of the fendlsh
act may be ap~prehended and hang
along with Capt. Jack. Whatever
may DO the feelings Of bitter hatred
towards the Modocs who butchered
the settlers Oh Lost River. they will
not give appreciation to men who have
shown themselves capable Of as base
deeds as the Modocs themselves"
The Bulletin says: "No words are
sufficiently strong to condemn the
massacre Of unarmed Indians travelling
under a supposed safe conduct. As
reported in to-day's dispatches, it Is
a~trocious In itself, calculated to do US
infinite injury, will cause an immedi-
ate reaction In public feeling against
IL people and In favor of the Modocs,
and vii, cause not q few to declare
TINT tho Indians have been wronged
and are excusable from their conduct
throughout. The act Is as senseless as
brutal. The Indians were oon to be
tried and punished by due forms OF
law. The perpetrators should be
sought out promptly and dealt with.
No right thinking man can excuse
such deeds.b

THE JAY COOKE BANKRUPTCY
eighteen months.

JAY Cooke has been making des-
perate effort toprevent formal and
legal declaration of bankruptcy
though all the world knows he is a
bankrupt. And host of friends
who have basked III the sunshine OF
his liberality, including a great por-
ton of the press of Philadelphia and
a little army of Bohemians attached
TO it, have been equally earnest to
prevent receiver being appointed
in bankruptcy over the estate, books
and secrets of the Cooketirm. 1t has
been said though we do not pretend
to youch for the truth of the state
ment, that some damaging revela-
tions might come out regarding sub
sidies and favors to the press OF Phll-
adelphia and Pennsylvania. But 1t
appears from the latest news that a
declaration of bankruptcy cannot be
fought off bv interested parties, pow
erful as they may be. The case is
too plain. Judge CadwaIlader, IN
the United States District Court, at
ter hearing the petitions for an adJu-
dioation in bankruptcy IN the case
ofJay Cooke & Co., has granted the
PRAYER and appointed Mr.. }. Gll-
iinGham Fell a receiver. Now let
the public have full exposure OF the
wavs and means used by this firm to
puff its doubtful schemes and to prop
no it's credit. Yes, let all the wit
nesses be examined, as well as the
books, and, if we are rightly inform
