Stumpf’s Hotel, Hyman’s Clothing Store, Standard Shoo Fattory and Gare and Mitshel’s Butehor Shop me by Fire. Bravery of ‘the Firemen, by Desperite Work The; Save the City From Total Destruction. List of Losses--The Insurance— Notes—Etc. y . —_— ~ An alarm of fire was sounded at about 12 o’clock Thursday night. The fire’ was found to originate in the Standard Shoe Factory, adjoining Stumpf’s Hotel and Restaurant, and as soon as the alarm was given it was discovered that the Standard Shoe. Factory and the large and. spacious building known as Stumpf’s Hotel, owned by Frank Eilerman, were enveloped in flames. -The~ firemen were on the ground With’ their usual promptness, and for some time it was impossible for them to. control the fire, which had got under a furious headway. Manfully and bravely did they fight the fiery elements, inch by inch,.until they contined it to three buildings and thus saved the balance of the town from destruction. Too much praise cannot be awarded the gallant firemen who worked so bravely to save the property of their fellow citizens without hope of reward. There are several statements in circulation as td. where the fire originated, but all agree that it was the work of an incarnate fiend in human form. The statement of Mrs Stumpf and her niece, Miss Lizzie, is the accepted truth as to the place where the fire started. Miss Lizzie says just before the fire broke out she heard some one moving around in the Standard Shoe Factory, which separates her bedroom by a board partition. She uwoke her. aunt and told her that some one must be robbing the shoe. store, and but a few minutes elapsed before they heard a crackling noise which sounded like the burning of light wood, and almost immediately opened the door when the flames burst into their room. They scarcely had time to dress themselves before the whole portion of that part of the building. was in flames. Several men passed the store at about 20 minutes to. 12, and they assertin the most positive terms that there was no fire there at that time, and yet the fire broke out at 10 minutes to 12, thus showing that the fire was set by some damnable wretch. We visited the scene of the fire yesterday morning, in company with Chief Enginer Hook, and there seemed to be no doubt but that the fire was started in the Shoe Factory at a point adjoining the bedroom of Mrs. Stumpf and her niece. We interviewed Mr. Niven, the resident partner -of the firm of Niven & Macomber, and he informs us that there is but one key tothe shop, which he kad.in his possession at tlhe time of the fire. He closed the store up at 9 0’clock, and during the whole evening he used no light but gas, and is positive there was no fire about the premises when he left. The only theory advanced is that the seamp’ who fired the building gained entrance by the back way, entered the store and set it on fire. The following is a complete list of the LOSSES. Stumpt’s hotel. and restaurant, totally destroyed. About $200 worth of furniture was saved. “Loss not less than $14,000. House and furniture insured for $6,000; $2,000 in Guardian Insurance Co., $1,000 in Phoenix of Biooklyn, $1,000 in American Fire Issurance Co. of Brooklyn, $1,000 in Fire Association of Philadelphia, and $1,000 in Commercial Insurance. Co. of California. Niven & Macomber, Standard Boot and Shoe Factory, a total loss. Mr. Niven informs us that in the middle of July last an account of stock was taken anil it footed up $5,690, and the sales have about equaled the new stock received since that time. They are insured for $4000 in the Home, Pheenix and other companies. Mr. Macomber, who :resides in San Francisco, having the [policies in his: possession, Mr. Niven was unable to state the exact amount they had in each compapy. . : John Jacka, owrer of the building occupied by the Standard Shoe Co., which was totally destroyed was insured for $1,000; $500 in Fire Assoviation of London, and $500 in! Firemen’s Insurance Co., of San Francisco. The insurance fu'ly covers the loss. Mitcbel & Care, meat market, Loss nominal. blind man, and was insured for $400 in the Guardian Insurance Co., which will about cover the loes. a A. Isoard, damage to roof, $100; no insurance. Damage to store about $50, which is covered by insurance, The stock of clothing, etc., in Stumpf’s hota). building, was all removed before the fire reached it, Mr, L. Hyman, the pryprietor, gives this statement to the reporter. He says his stock was valued at $12,000, and about sixty per cent of it was damaged by moving, water and being stolen. He was insured for $3,000. The damage by other parties, in removing goods to places of safety, will probably amount to about $500. NOTES. During the progress of the fire the hose belonging to the Piety Hill fire company bursted two or three times. _ Several gentlemen inform us that while the fire was spreading to that part of the hotel they saw a number of persons go into Hyman’s s:ore and gather up all the goods they could carry, and depart in various directions, or in other words they were engaged in stealingthem. A number of them are oe and they will find it to théir interest to return them before an officer is set on their tracks. Fred Ficke, an employe of the Standard Shoe Company, lost his tools valued at over $150, on which there is no insurance. He has a family and these tools composed all his earthly possessions, Many people are under the impression that no wooden building can be erected, in place of the ones destroyed by fire, on account of the city ordinance fixing a special fire limit. That part of the city isnot in the special limit, and the property owners can rebuild wooden structures provided they are lathed, plastered, etc. While the fire was raging two Chinamen were seen crossing Suspension bridge with. all the’chickens they cou'd carry. They stole them, probably. : The coolest proceeding we have heard of was that of a man enter. ing Hyman’s store, selecting a coat, vest and pauts and going out on the street, changing his old apparel and replacing them with new ones. Daring the progress of the fire Frank Eilerman, the heaviest loser, instead of trying to save any of his furniture or fixtures, devoted his whole time in assisting the firenen, to stop the fire from spreading. He isa noble firemen, forgetting his own losses, sought to. save the property of others. Few men world act thusly. The sympathy of the whole community isextended. to Frank ‘in his great loss. We feel like singling cut some of the firemen and praising them for the brave and noble part they we will not for fear of slighting some who were equally meritorious. They all did nobly and deserve the personal thanks of every property holder in the community. John F. Hook, our worthy Chief Engineer, is the right man in the right place. Frank Eilerman intends to re build as soon as possible. The new building will be on a larger scale than the old one and will extend from Broad to Spring street. It will be a fine structure when completed. It has always been Frank Bilerman’s custom to take the gold and silver coin from the money drawer and take it to his room with him. On Thursday night he forget it. Yesterday morning some one went to search for: the coin, and they succeeded in finding a chunk of gold and silver melted into one piece. Frank is going to keep it as asouvenir. As coon as the alarm was given the Piety Hill Hose Company, headed by Superior Judge Walling, the President, Wm. Maltman, Foreman, and accompanied by nearly every member came tuundering across Suspension bridge and arrived just in time to who happened to be short of hose. The Piety Hillers done some good. work. The great fire of 1863,. at which time the whole town was destroyed, (our people losing ever half a million of dollara), broke out in . the same building as ‘the one of! { The building was] owfied by Stephen Roberts, the took in extinguishing the fire, but . attach on to Nevada Hose Co. soremesecimte.mes ee Thursday night. At that time the place was occupied by the Bedrock saloon. Owing to the great heat, the firemen at work in the rear . of Stumpf’s Hotel, while on some 92f the outbuildings with their hose, were compelled to use doors, etc., for protection. Engineers’ Report, The report of the local engineers in charge of river and harbor improvements in California for the fiscal year has been filed with the Chief of Engineers: The report reviews in detail the work of the year in snagging, dam building and bar scraping. The engineer devotes considerable space to the subject of hydraulic mining, and gives the results of surveys made during the last and previous years. These show a loss in area of the river at Sacramento, since 1854, as follows: Section opposite U street, 8,000 square feet reduced to 2970; opposite R street, 8970 square feet, reduced to 3690; N street, 11040 to 2849; K Street, 9520 to 2700; 850 feet above railroad bridge, 14980 to 2890; 800 feet below mouth of American, 11970 to 2,310, The report says: The flood of the last winter caused many changes in the channel of the upper river, with much caving of the banks, so that there will be a good deal of snagging work done. Noticeable widening of the river and diversion of water from the main channels has taken place at Jacinto and Call’s Chute, and difficulty of navigation may be expected at hoth places. Taking the Sueramento above the mouth of the Feather as whole it is to be hoped that the temporary measures already in use will enable us to preserve substantially the existing conaitions. In the Feather itself, below Marysville, and in the Sacramento, below the Feather, the case becomes more difficult and complicated. The temporary dams of logs and brush which could be used last year in new places in the formation of a low-water channel are no longer possible, as the work already done and the clear. ing and settlement of the banks have exhausted the supply of material. On the Feather the limited navigation pussible with its low-water discharge would not justify the building of expensive works, which, to be of any use, must form a complete system from Marysville down. On the Suacramento the great width of the stream makes the cost of such works cut of the question, The ‘extraordinary changes that have taken place in the Sacramento river, and the immense accumulation in the tributary valleys of the detritus of hydraulic mining, suggest the difficulty and uncertain success. of all effort to obtain any radical and permanent: improvement. The aggregate of appropriations made for these rivers is $445,000, of which there has been os $247,697 82. — ao te —_~ Rich Strike. ——The Marysville Tennel and Quartz Mining Company have struck very rich rok in their mine near Timbuctoo. Supervisor Beatty brought down some speci. imens a few days ago, which may be seen-at the office of the company in ‘Marysville. Should the prospect hold out, the shareholders, who are mostly citizens of Marysville, will soon be wealthy, says the Democrat. catia Don’t Believe It. The election commission of San Francisco is now in session, and we copy the following, a part of the proceedings before that body: An application made by a native of Nevada City, whose father was a Chinaman and mother an English woman, to be admitted as a voter, was referred to Attorney Love to examine the treaty on the point.

Some iin, azo gor fe was. ‘thought the city would be able to put. in stone abutments, amd erect iron bridges over Deer Creek, on Main and Broad street, but the limited revenue will not permit such necessary work to be done. The only way that such an improvement can be made is for thes Trustees to create a sinking fund, and ina few years, perhaps, the stone abutments might be built. It requires about all the revenue of the city to pay the current expenses and keep the crossings and bridges in a passable condition, ---Selobaal Destructive Fire, The forest fire out on Rock Creek has been very. destructive during the past few days. While John Bryant was in town on Thursday afternoon the fire extended to his place and burned his house and other buildings to the ground. He had lived alone in the house for 30 year: and had 80 cultivated the premises’ that it always looked as neat and nic¢e as though some Yankee girl was in charge of it. Now the whole place is covered with tlack ‘smoldering embers. Just 80. The Appe.l says: The Immigration Society reports that many settlers are now going to Mendocino county, being attracted by the new railroad from Cloverdale to Ukiah.

Too much praise cannot be awarded the gallant firemen who worked so bravely to save the property of their fellow citizens without hope of reward. There are several statements in circulation as td. where the fire originated, but all agree that it was the work of an incarnate fiend in human form. The statement of Mrs Stumpf and her niece, Miss Lizzie, is the accepted truth as to the place where the fire started. Miss Lizzie says just before the fire broke out she heard some one moving around in the Standard Shoe Factory, which separates her bedroom by a board partition. She uwoke her. aunt and told her that some one must be robbing the shoe. store, and but a few minutes elapsed before they heard a crackling noise which sounded like the burning of light wood, and almost immediately opened the door when the flames burst into their room. They scarcely had time to dress themselves before the whole portion of that part of the building. was in flames. Several men passed the store at about 20 minutes to. 12, and they assertin the most positive terms that there was no fire there at that time, and yet the fire broke out at 10 minutes to 12, thus showing that the fire was set by some damnable wretch. We visited the scene of the fire yesterday morning, in company with Chief Enginer Hook, and there seemed to be no doubt but that the fire was started in the Shoe Factory at a point adjoining the bedroom of Mrs. Stumpf and her niece. We interviewed Mr. Niven, the resident partner -of the firm of Niven & Macomber, and he informs us that there is but one key tothe shop, which he kad.in his possession at tlhe time of the fire. He closed the store up at 9 0’clock, and during the whole evening he used no light but gas, and is positive there was no fire about the premises when he left. The only theory advanced is that the seamp’ who fired the building gained entrance by the back way, entered the store and set it on fire. The following is a complete list of the LOSSES. Stumpt’s hotel. and restaurant, totally destroyed.. About $200 worth of furniture was saved. “Loss not less than $14,000. House and furniture insured for $6,000; $2,000 in Guardian Insurance Co., $1,000 in Phoenix of Biooklyn, $1,000 in American Fire Issurance Co. of Brooklyn, $1,000 in Fire Association of Philadelphia, and $1,000 in Commercial Insurance. Co. of California. Niven & Macomber, Standard Boot and Shoe Factory, a total loss. Mr. Niven informs us that in the middle of July last an account of stock was taken anil it footed up $5,690, and the sales have about equaled the new stock received since that time. They are insured for $4000 in the Home, Pheenix and other companies. Mr. Macomber, who :resides in San Francisco, having the [policies in his: possession, Mr. Niven was unable to state the exact amount they had in each compapy. . : John Jacka, owrer of the building occupied by the Standard Shoe Co., which was totally destroyed was insured for $1,000; $500 in Fire Assoviation of London, and $500 in! Firemen’s Insurance Co., of San Francisco. The insurance fu'ly covers the loss. Mitcbel & Care, meat market, Loss nominal. blind man, and was insured for $400 in the Guardian Insurance Co., which will about cover the loes. a A. Isoard, damage to roof, $100; no insurance. Damage to store about $50, which is covered by insurance, The stock of clothing, etc., in Stumpf’s hota). building, was all removed before the fire reached it, Mr, L. Hyman, the pryprietor, gives this statement to the reporter. He says his stock was valued at $12,000, and about sixty per cent of it was damaged by moving, water and being stolen. He was insured for $3,000. The damage by other parties, in removing goods to places of safety, will probably amount to about $500. NOTES. During the progress of the fire the hose belonging to the Piety Hill fire company bursted two or three times. _ Several gentlemen inform us that while the fire was spreading to that part of the hotel they saw a number of persons go into Hyman’s s:ore and gather up all the goods they could carry, and depart in various directions, or in other words they were engaged in stealingthem. A number of them are oe and they will find it to théir interest to return them before an officer is set on their tracks. Fred Ficke, an employe of the Standard Shoe Company, lost his tools valued at over $150, on which there is no insurance. He has a family and these tools composed all his earthly possessions, Many people are under the impression that no wooden building can be erected, in place of the ones destroyed by fire, on account of the city ordinance fixing a special fire limit. That part of the city isnot in the special limit, and the property owners can rebuild wooden structures provided they are lathed, plastered, etc. While the fire was raging two Chinamen were seen crossing Suspension bridge with. all the’chickens they cou'd carry. They stole them, probably. : The coolest proceeding we have heard of was that of a man enter. ing Hyman’s store, selecting a coat, vest and pauts and going out on the street, changing his old apparel and replacing them with new ones. Daring the progress of the fire Frank Eilerman, the heaviest loser, instead of trying to save any of his furniture or fixtures, devoted his whole time in assisting the firenen, to stop the fire from spreading. He isa noble firemen, forgetting his own losses, sought to. save the property of others. Few men world act thusly. The sympathy of the whole community isextended. to Frank ‘in his great loss. We feel like singling cut some of the firemen and praising them for the brave and noble part they we will not for fear of slighting some who were equally meritorious. They all did nobly and deserve the personal thanks of every property holder in the community. John F. Hook, our worthy Chief Engineer, is the right man in the right place. Frank Eilerman intends to re build as soon as possible. The new building will be on a larger scale than the old one and will extend from Broad to Spring street. It will be a fine structure when completed. It has always been Frank Bilerman’s custom to take the gold and silver coin from the money drawer and take it to his room with him. On Thursday night he forget it. Yesterday morning some one went to search for: the coin, and they succeeded in finding a chunk of gold and silver melted into one piece. Frank is going to keep it as asouvenir. As coon as the alarm was given the Piety Hill Hose Company, headed by Superior Judge Walling, the President, Wm. Maltman, Foreman, and accompanied by nearly every member came tuundering across Suspension bridge and arrived just in time to who happened to be short of hose. The Piety Hillers done some good. work.

At that time the place was occupied by the Bedrock saloon. Owing to the great heat, the firemen at work in the rear . of Stumpf’s Hotel, while on some 92f the outbuildings with their hose, were compelled to use doors, etc., for protection. Engineers’ Report, The report of the local engineers in charge of river and harbor improvements in California for the fiscal year has been filed with the Chief of Engineers: The report reviews in detail the work of the year in snagging, dam building and bar scraping. The engineer devotes considerable space to the subject of hydraulic mining, and gives the results of surveys made during the last and previous years. These show a loss in area of the river at Sacramento, since

1854, as follows: Section opposite U street, 8,000 square feet reduced to 2970; opposite R street, 8970 square feet, reduced to 3690; N street, 11040 to 2849; K Street, 9520 to 2700; 850 feet above railroad bridge, 14980 to 2890; 800 feet below mouth of American, 11970 to 2,310, The report says: The flood of the last winter caused many changes in the channel of the upper river, with much caving of the banks, so that there will be a good deal of snagging work done. Noticeable widening of the river and diversion of water from the main channels has taken place at Jacinto and Call’s Chute, and difficulty of navigation may be expected at hoth places. Taking the Sueramento above the mouth of the Feather as whole it is to be hoped that the temporary measures already in use will enable us to preserve substantially the existing conaitions. In the Feather itself, below Marysville, and in the Sacramento, below the Feather, the case becomes more difficult and complicated. The temporary dams of logs and brush which could be used last year in new places in the formation of a low-water channel are no longer possible, as the work already done and the clear. ing and settlement of the banks have exhausted the supply of material. On the Feather the limited navigation pussible with its low-water discharge would not justify the building of expensive works, which, to be of any use, must form a complete system from Marysville down. On the Suacramento the great width of the stream makes the cost of such works cut of the question, The ‘extraordinary changes that have taken place in the Sacramento river, and the immense accumulation in the tributary valleys of the detritus of hydraulic mining, suggest the difficulty and uncertain success. of all effort to obtain any radical and permanent: improvement. The aggregate of appropriations made for these rivers is $445,000, of which there has been os $247,697 82. — ao te —_~ Rich Strike. ——The Marysville Tennel and Quartz Mining Company have struck very rich rok in their mine near Timbuctoo. Supervisor Beatty brought down some speci. imens a few days ago, which may be seen-at the office of the company in ‘Marysville.

The election commission of San Francisco is now in session, and we copy the following, a part of the proceedings before that body: An application made by a native of Nevada City, whose father was a Chinaman and mother an English woman, to be admitted as a voter, was referred to Attorney Love to examine the treaty on the point.

The only way that such an improvement can be made is for thes Trustees to create a sinking fund, and ina few years, perhaps, the stone abutments might be built. It requires about all the revenue of the city to pay the current expenses and keep the crossings and bridges in a passable condition, ---Selobaal Destructive Fire, The forest fire out on Rock Creek has been very. destructive during the past few days. While John Bryant was in town on Thursday afternoon the fire extended to his place and burned his house and other buildings to the ground. He had lived alone in the house for 30 year: and had 80 cultivated the premises’ that it always looked as neat and nic¢e as though some Yankee girl was in charge of it. Now the whole place is covered with tlack ‘smoldering embers. Just 80.
