Libby Prison.
AN HISTORIC LANDMARK or THE SOUTH
ERN CoNrEDERACY SOLD.

On Thursday Libby Prison, in Rich
mond, Va, was sold at auction. Only a
small crowd gathered around to witness
the sale Of the historic military prison OF
the Southern Confcdcracy. 1t was sold
under deed Of trust, and the auction
Ger stated that So. in cash must, ac-
cording to the terms of sale, be paid.
The property was started at $1,000, and
ran up to $4,000.
The auctionecr stated that Il cost $1,000
to drive the piles upon which the build
ing was erected, and said that such was
the value of the historic associations con-
nccted with this prison that it could be
pulled down and the bricks sold at 81 II
piece at the North, and as there were
2lO,OOO bricks the building would bring
$2IOOO0.
The property was finally knocked
down TO Mr.. James II. Gray, young to-
bacconist of Richmond, Va, at $G.72j.
The building is now used as Il tobacco
factory. A part of the wall has been
carried away, one brick at u time, by
Northern tourists. The building and
ground originally cost $4,000.

dollars were voted the directors by the
General Assembly for the purpose of al.
terlng the roof and finishing the build
ing.
Since that time the building has been
otten altered and amended at considerable
cost to the State, Many world renown,
ed men have been temporarily housed
under its roof, and many stirring scenes
have transpircd in its various chambers
Legislative, executive and judicial.
The most memorable as well as the most
painful occurrence connected with the
Capitol was the killing of near an hun
drcd citizens and the wOunding and
manning of many more by the falling of
the iloors of the room used by the Su-
preme Court Of Appeals on April 2S,
1870.
The General Assembly as early as 1872
were compelled, by an incursion of the
British Colonial TaritOn and the rene
gade Arnold, TO hpstily adjourn from
Richmond, where it was then in session
in framed house ON the street leading
to Mayo's bridge, to Charlottesville,
| whittier that body was followed by Gov.
Jefferson, it was charged at the time
with more celcrity than the occasion call
ed for. BY a happy and timely evacua-
ton of Monticello, Gov. Jefferson after
wards escaped disagreeNbc interview
with "Rcd-C0at Tariton" and his Brit
ish dragons.
The present iron railing around the
Capitol Square was placed there beween
1917 and 1923 by order of the General
Assembly, because of a fanced insult Of
fcrcd the Governor at that ime by some
thoughtless citizens of Richmond. For
some years thereafter the gates were
kept locked ut night and no citizen per-
mittcd to pass through the grounds. The
cost Of the railing was about $4,000.
lloudon's statue of Washington,
which has been in the rotunda of the
Capitol since May, 1905, was contracted
for by Mr.. Jefferson with the great
French artist in 1885, in pursuance OF
authority given by II resolution of the
General Assembly passed the year pre-
vious.
.Alusion having been made to the lay
ing of the corner stone of the Capitol, it
may be remarked that the director of
public buildings requested the MasOns to
perform that ceremony, and that they
marched in procession to the site OF the
proposed building, where the ight Wor-
shipful Master deposited under the cast
corner stone silver medal, whcrcon
was the following inscriptions:
1.-The Richmond Lodge Of Free Ma
sons, No. l3, Alexander Montgomery,
Muster, joined by the officers and brcth-
ren, assisted in laying the foundation Of
this fabric on the 18th day Of August,
