FIRE At RICHMOND.
N Old Landmark at Southard's Shipyart
81 Burned. Monday Morning.

Richmond. May 4-(Specian.-A,
|about O'Clock, Sunday morning, Off
Ger ]. E. Rowe, who was near the resi-
dence of c. II. T. j. Southland, discov-
cred a blaze at the South end, and i'm
mediately gave the alarm. Almost
everybody turned out and FASTENED to
the scene. The fire proved to be in the
old joiner shop in T. j. Southard' s
shipyard, one of the Oldest landmarks
along the river front. The hose COM
panies got in good work from the start,
but the fire made such rapid progress
that the building burned to the ground
in less time than it takes to tell it. The
loss was trifiing, and there was no in
surance. The building. which was
built in the early 50'st had stood for
number of years as a mute reminder
of bygone days Robert Rowe, who had
considerable property stored in the
building, was probably the heaviest
loser. Fire No. l having passed into
history, others may be expected in the
near future, say local prognosticators
of events.

pondering ever. The hen that laid it was an
ordinary hen, but it is very extraordinary
egg. On one end clearly outlined and en-
ho- -ca in the shell is the letter C. AS every
little tlutter of the Oracle at Delphi was taken
TO be some portentious prophecy. SO the
