THE RICHMOND PRISON ATTIRE.

The COnvIcts Put Under Military
 Guard While the Fire Is Being
 Exttnguished.
 RICHMOND, Jan. 31.-Soon after 5 o'clock this forenoon the building of the Virginia penitentiary leased by the Davis Shoe com pany of Boston and operated as shoe fac tory was discovered on fire. The famss spread rapidly and despite the efforts of the fire department the buildings occupied by the shoe company were totally destroyed together with all the valuable machinery and stock. The buildings burned were three stories high and built of brick and covered an area about seven hundred feet in length and sixty feet in width. The loss to the shoe company is estimated at from $150, 900 to $175, ,000. The insurance on Davis & Co., machinery, stock and fixtures foots up $1S6, ,59s, divided among about seventy-fve companies, home and for eign. The buildings, which were owned by the State, were not insured and were total loss. The origin of the fire as yet remains a mystery There has been no fire in the build- ing since work yesterday evening. All the convicts, about seven hundred in number, remained quiet in their cells when the fire broke out and for some time after, but when many of the cells began to fill with smoke the occupants made considerable clamor te be let out. This was soon done and the prison CTS were turned into the galleries facing the inner court where they remained under strong military and civic guard until the fire was gotten under control, after which they were returned to their cells

Fresh to Strong Gales at Least once a
 Week.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The United States Photographic office says that in February stormy weather will prevail off the Atlantic coasts of North America and Europe. espe cially off the American coast, along the course of the Gulf stream and over the At lantic to northward of about 35 degrees north latitude. Along the transatlantic routes fresh to strong gales will be encoun- tered as often as once week with the high est force of wind from the southwest and northwest quadrants. Northers will occur frequently in the Gulf of Mexico, but will be of greater violence than earlier in .he sea- son. The northeast trades begin to extend farther north. Icebergs and field ice may be encountered off Newfoundland sometimes as far south 42 degrees north latitude be- tween 42 degrees and g degrees west longi- tude. But little fog will be met with on the Grand Banks. To avoid dangers from ice foes it is recommended that the southward transatlantic routes be taken and the ther- mometer be freely used. No possible pre- caution should be neglected, especially dur ing snow or fog. The Photographic report says most of the logs of the Leary raft are now in the Gulf stream and will probably follow it's drift

 ST. JOHN, Jan. 31.-For several days the Dominion fishing cruiser Dream has been frozen in St. Andrews Bay and Maine fish ermen have taken advantage of this to fish inside the three-mile circuit. Reports from the bay state that large fleet of American vessels are fishing in Canadian waters and there is an abundance of fish. The local fishermen complain that through theseverity of the cruisers captain in carrying out his instructions they have suffered great loss and would much rather have Americans fish in their waters than that the cruiser should get clear of the ice.

Jack Dempsey Beats mcCaRrey,

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 31.-About five thou sand persons witnessed the glove contest be- tween Dominick McCaffrey and Jack Demp- sey at the Payonia rink tonight. The men entered the ring about midnight. They fought ten rounds and the referee, Jere Dunn, decided that Dempsey won. Dempsey did nearly all the leading and scored three points to McCaffrey's one.
 When Dunn was announced as referee there was much dissatisfaction, for he was considered Dempsey's friend. Dempsey weighed 158 pounds, McCaffrey 16S. In the first round McCaffrey cut Dempsey on the forehead. In the second Dempsey struck McCafrey in the right eye. Dempsey was aggressive in the first part of the battle, try ing to settle his opponent in short order. In the last few rounds he acted on the defensive and McCafrey had to follow him all over the ring, several times begging him to stand up. McCaHrey tried to knock Dempsey out. but the Nonpareil always avoided the punish ment. Several times McCaffrey tried to swing his right, but Dempsey cleverly dodged.
 Dempsey gave most of the blows and clinch- ed frequently to avoid punishment. In the closing round he gave four blows. Three ounce gloves were worn. Dempsey 1t the end of the exhibition appeared very fresh and said he was able to go on ten more rounds. McCafrey took his defeat sorely. He was also in good condition with the ex- ceDtion of his bruised eyes and forehead

Break Up and Cause Ruin and DIsas-
 ter to Shipping in the River.
 ST. LOUIS, Jan. 31.-For some days past several tugbosts have been putting the shore ice in the harbor and with the occa- sional aid of dynamite succeeded yesterday in opening a passage of from one to two hundred and fifty feet wide outside of the steamers and other craft lying along the bank from near the bridge down nearly to the arsenal This relieved the pressure on the boats, but in conjunction with the warm weather weakened the great mass of ice in the harbor and about midnight and later last night movement took place both below and above the bridge filling up the open water way and doing considerable damage to ship ping A second and third movement took placa to-day, and although the main body of the gorge is still firm, there is here and there an open bit Of water and general rush out may take place at any hour. So far the following dam Sude, belonging to Herz & Loomis, lying outside the Barton street dump, first broke away and was carried with great force against the little steamer Hattie Belle, crush l ing her side in and sinking her. She now | lies careened on the bank and is badly wreck ! GU. oAc was fdluoO dI POjOOV anu BnAbAy III sured. Just below this point lay the Will s.
 Hays and fleet of sand boats, all of whose 1 lines were broke and they moved down the bank en masse for some distance. The barge I Suce crashed into the Hayes, forced her upon 1 the shore and left her in badly wrecked 1 condition. She is twisted out of shape l from stem to stern and is strained 1 to such an extent to render l her almost worthless. She was valued
 at S1 %, ,000. The Deliver, sand dredger, l was also carried down and was crushed by l the ice and sunk. She belonged to the Mis-
 souri Sand company. Her loss is not given.
 The City of Monroe, another Anchor line
 boat, was caught in this rush and carried down, but is not much injured. On he1
 way, however, she stove the ferryboat Jacob
 Tamm, which now lies sunk below Ann
 street. She was worth $4 900 and insured
 The total damage 50 far in the harbor since
 the gorge formed some three weeks ago is
 estimated at $55. .00O, of which the Anchor
 line lose $30, ,000, the Missouri Sand company
 900. the Loomis Ice..conpany $5,000, the
 United States government for the lightheust
