RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 2-The historic
old App0mattOx court house building
was destroyed by fire Yesterday All
the county records AND court house
furnishings were entirely Consumed.
The surrounding houses also caught
fire, but were saved. The library OF
the clerks office is said to have been
one Of the best arranged in Virginia,
and the loss of them leaves the county LII
fearful straits. The McLayne House,
in which General Lee signed the terms
Of surrender to General Grant, was at,
one time threatened with destruction.
A Columbus, Ohio, special says:
Deputy Warden Porter to day discov-
cred a plot in the Ohio penitentiary by
which a wholesale escape of prisoners
would have taken place in a few days.
A week ago Porter learned that a con-
spiracy existed and that a tunnel was
being dug by certain prisoners in one
of the shops and that an old engine
foundation had been struck which
tunnel had been worked upon by
prisoners in the laundry not under the
supervision of a guard. The mouth OF
the tunnel was within thirty feet Of
the wall and liberty. Will Walk, a.
convict from Cleveland, and Frank
Smith, the Urbana express robber,
serving a seven-year sentence, were.
the r~ingleaders. The Warden called
the Cleveland convict into his Office.
and he gave the whole thing away.
All the good time was taken away
from those In the conspiracy.

ALASKA MINERS MISSING.
Ten Men Believed to Have Frozen or
Starved to Death.

PORT TOWNSEND, Washington, Jan.
31.-The steamer from Alaska, which
arrived last night, reports that ten
miners are supposed to have persisted
of hunger or cold.
Last April, Messrs. orion and S. o.
WheelOck of Juneau, accompanied by
eight other miners. left Juneau on the
schooner Charley for Lituya Bay, tax
ing eight months provisions. The
party was to return in November.
Nothing having been heard from them,
great uneasiness is felt, for they were
in the frozen regions, where it would
be impossible to get food or help. The
people appealed to Capt. Maynard of
the United States wal ship Pinta, at
Sitka, to go to the relief of the missing
men. Maynard declined on account
of the great risk to the ship, and be-
cause he thought the men were beyond
reach of human aid. At a meet
ing held in Juneau, the Governor was
appealed to and a relief expedition or
gained and sent out in sailing vessels
with supplies in search of the miners,
but with little hope of reseuing them.
The winter at Lituya Bay is long and
severe and probably the ten missing
men have persisted.

A RAILROAD WRECKER CAUGHT
He Confesses a Crime Committed for the
Sake of Robbery.

SAVANNAH. Ga. Jan. 31.-John Boyd.
a negro teamster on the Richmond and
DanVilIe Road, is the self confessed
perpetrator of the S~tatesville, N. c.,
wreck, in which twenty lives were
lost. Superintendent McBee has re-
turned with a crOwbar and spike litter
in his possession, which were the inn
plements used to loosen the rails. Boyd
is now in a North Carolina jail.
The first clue was gained by Marshal
Tom Haney, of Gainesville. By acct
dent he discovered that Boyd had a
package, which he priced very highly,
in safe keeping of a Statesville man.
A conference with this man resulted in
an examination of the package, which
was found to contain 81, 600 in money,
several watches, and some jewelry.
When Boyd, about three ago, called
for his package, he confessed that the
contents were stolen from the bodies of
the victims of the Bostian Bridge
wreck. He implicated several others
in the community and confessed the
full details of the plot which led to the
wreck. The robbery of the passengers
was the object of the wreck. The
criminals stood by waiting for the dis
aster and FASTENED to the apparent
work of relief. Boyd described where
the implements could be found, and
the search for them proved successful.
Efforts have been made to keep the.
matter secret in order that other per.
sons implicated by Boyd's confession
might be arrested. Several articles of
iewelry in the package have been
recognized as belonging to dead pas
sengerS.

SHOT AND KILLED BY HIS SON.
He Went Home Drunk and Struck His
Wife, the Boys Mother.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 2.-David Por-
ter, Deputy Collector of Customs at
Savannah, was shot and killed by his
16-year old son at 1 O'clock this morn
ing, at POrter's residence. Porter went
home late under the influence of LIQUOR,
and beng chided by his wife. struck
her. His daughter interfered, and
then young Porter ran to a bureau,
and taking out a loaded revolver, fired
at his father. The father turned on
the son, and both fell on the floor to-
gether. In the struggle for the pistol,
young Porter shot ~twicesagain, TIE last
shot penetrating his fathers breast
near the heart. He staggered to his
feet and into a rocking chair and died.
The boy ran into the street and called
to q neighbor that he had shot his
father. He then summoned the family
| physician, and after that walked to
police headquarters and surrendered.
| He did not know for some time that he
had killed his father, as he left his
home as soon as he had fired the shot.
In talking of the affair in his cell he
said:
eff | have killed my father-that
il, if he dies FROM his wOunds-I have
it from his own lips that | did right.
A few years ago, speaking in my pres
ence about a young man killing his
father in this city for beating his
mother. my father, IN reply to a re-
mark that the young man must regret
his crime continually, said: Never.
He may regret the necessity, but never
the act"
The parricide was cool and collected
in all he sad. An inquest is being
held to-daY.

Both the father and mother became

not be cured of his deafness. At last the
