out in a three-storied brick building,
located at the northwest corner of Twelfth
and Market streets. The dames origin
ated in the second story, Occupied by J.
B. Laughlin, photographer. Owing to
the combustible material in the place,

Interesting Experiments with puts-
_ ” bnrgh Guns.
A Fortress Monroe correspondent writes
as follows: The experiments under thie di
rection of Col. T. (J. Baylor, commanding
Fort Monroe Arsenal, to test the endurance
of eight and twelve-inch rifled Rodman
guns, pursuant to the recent recommenda
tions of Secretary Btanton, have been com
menced there • with determined energy to
apply the proposed tests most thoroughly
and to accomplish decisive results for the
future guidance of the government in the
use of heavy ordnance. Thus far the firing
has been with the twelve-inch rifle gun,
originally known as the Floyd gun, after
that called the Lincoln gun, and afterwards
the Union gun which name it goes by at
present. This gun was cast in Pittsburgh,
Pa., and is well known by the thousands
who have seen it; it is a ' monster
in size, weighing over twenty-six
tons. The charges weigh fifty-five
pounds each,and the projectiles used,known
as the tiger projectile, weigh about six hun
dred pounds each. Up to the present time
this gun has been fired about four hundred
times,’and it appears as strong as ever. It is
proposed to continue the firing to' a thou
sand times, unless it should explode,-or be
come unserviceable before this" number of
shots have been fired. In the eight-inch
gun the charge weighs fifteen pounds; and ;
the projectile about one hundred and fifty
pounds.;The gun of this calibre to be/tested
has been here several months,, and has al
ready been fired some three .hundred and
fifty times. It is proposed also to fire this a
thousand times, if tfie gun proves equal Jo
the test. The experiments will last several
w eek s. These proposed tests are connected
with the late iron-clad target praotice, and
comprise part of a series of most interesting
experiments which the government has

More Indian Depredations.
The following letter from W. J. Hill, fer
ryman at Owyhee, Oregon; to the Owyhee
Avalanche, and published in that paper of
t“e 17th ult., gives an interesting accountof.
a fight between a party of. Indians, and an
?J e^ Bd - Bta^ e guard, Whioh took place on
the Bth of November between. Humboldt.
Utah, and the Ferry: s* ' ’
On the Bth inst, about 10 o’clock A. M..
the Humboldt stage; on its way tb Virginia,
when within four miles of the Owyhee Fer
ry, was attacked by Indians. There were
six persons on board—Wash Waltermire.
driver; James Mcßae; guard, tmd four pas
sengers, named J. Holland, P, Case.vf D.
Harrington and W. Wilcox. They did not
suspect danger near, when they were fired
into by a party of Indians, who lay con
cealed among the rocks and behind a forti
fication which they bad erected so as to com
pletely screen themselves from the sight of
those in the stage. Wash ;put his favorite
mustangs down to their greatest speed, and
would have succeeded in reaching the Ferry
without more injury than what was caused
by the first volley, but there was another
party of Indians on horseback, further
along, who kept shooting at them and
striving to head them off and surround
them, while the party that first fired at
them were coming up behind. With steady
nerve Wash ran his horses while Mcßae
fought the red devils, and keeping them
at bay for a distance of two
miles, until one of the wheel
horses was abet dead and two others badly
wounded. This, of course, stopped the
stage. When the first volley was fired,
Wilcox; who was sitting on the front seat
in side the coach, received his death wound
by a bullet, which entered his breast near
i he right nipple and passing out at his back,
also striking Wash in the side, inflicting a
slight though rather painful wound. Wil
cox exdaimed, “Oh, my God, Fm killed,”
and his head sank over and rested on Har
rington's knee, where he breathed his last
Harrington was shot in thelefthip, the bullet
ranging up andpasslng out at his side going
through some fix inches of muscle, produc
ing a bad flesh wound, but it is not con
sidered dangerous, When the horse fell
dead the boys unhitched the other three,one
of them getting away from them. They
then started for the ferry, about two miles
distant, leaving Wilcox dead in the stage,
together with the mail, baggage, eta The
Indians seemed determined to prevent their
escape, and continued shooting at them; but
Harrington, with great difficulty, hobbled
along, and they reached the ferry about 12
o’clock, completely tired out. Four of ns
from the station, with Sergeant Brown
and eleven men, who are stationed here,
immediately hastened to the scene of action,
but the red devils had already completed
their work and escaped. limy dragged
Wilcox from the stage, stripped,scalped him
and out his heart out; also taking with them
the blankets, eta, belonging to the passen
gers, and cutting the mall sack and scatter
ing the letters, etc., among the sage brush.
We took the body of Wilcox down to the
ferry where it was decently interred by the
river side. Harrington is-here and his
wound is doing well. His fellow-passenger,
Holland, is here slbo, taking care of him.
It is a faot to be lamented that the pas
sengers were not armed. They all concur
in bestowing great praise upon the driver
and guard, by whose presence of mind and
unflinching bravery the remaining lives of
all the party were, in all probability, saved.
, The stage is running all night, and the in
defatigable Charley Barnes, Beecher’s di
vision agent, is here to-night with a new lot
of horses and plenty of barley. He has men
armed to the teeth running with the stage;
so that, notwithstanding the recent trouble,
passengers can consider themselves sb safe
as at any time during the season.
