statue of Henry Clay removed from

portion of the Capitol Square Major

1t was this. The new City Hall has four
handsome entrances, one on each of the
four sides. Over the arch on each door
is place on which an ornament can be
placed. The Clay statue could tit nicely
on top Of one Of these door arches, either
the Broad street or Capitol street en-

ed with One Hundred Freight cars


NORFOLK, VA, May 1.-The nine
hundred feet warehouse Of the thesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company was
discovered on fire at 10 o'clock to-nigh'
by the Waterman, and half hour later the
entIre structure was in flames. About
one hundred car loads OF freight were In
the building at the time, besides about
fifty thousand slaves ordered by Marsden
Smith. Much Of the freight was com
posed of hay, which furnished
excellent finder for the dancing flames.
At one time 1t looked as If the
New York, Philadelphia, and Norfolk
Railroad pier, which is opposite the
Chesapeake and Ohio, would be burned,
but the wind changed and ii was saved,
The total loss to building and contents
is estimated at $4,000, which is mostly
covered by insurance. The origin OF the
fire is unknown, and when the watch
man discovered it he was midway in
the building. He barely escaped. I.
