Special THE celebration of General

The most creditable affairs Of it's charac-

The commender then arose and in
formed the audience that he was sorry
20 say that one Of the orators expected,
Judge George L. Christian, of Richmond

by sickness. The Commander made a
few remarks, in which he paid a glowing
tribute 10 the worth Of Lee, and then
introduced Mr.. Bib. a rising young
lawyer Of Norfolk and formerly a stu

spoke on the life and character Of Gene

The address was a piece Of finished
oratory. replete with flights of magnii-
cent description and imprisoned elo-

THE FIRE NOT OUT.
Flames still Doing Destructive
Work In the Stockholm City.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, January %
Especial THE report sent out that the
firA on the steamship Stockholm City had
been extinguished was erroneous. The
coal-bunkers are still afire, and the crew
has been engaged all day in an effort to
prevent further destruction. No survey
has yet been made. but conservative
estimate places the damage at about
$40 coo. The New York representatives Of
Furness Witty e Co., the owners Of the
ship. will arrive here tomorrow morn
ing. and will confer with the underwriters
as to the actual extent of the damage.
Ii will also be decided tomorrow what
will be done with the Stockholm City.
The local agent of Furness, Witty
g. co. informed your correspondent to-
dav that the vessel would in all proba-
bility be sent 10 the ship-yard and be re-
paired throughout The disabled steam
or is now anchored below the Chesapeake
and Ohio piers.
When Captain Richard and his crew
came ashore to-day they were every
where followed with admirlng glances.
Perhaps no crew ever encountered what
that of the Stockholm City did during
the mast four days, and survived TO tell
the story. Every man aboard is painfully
blstered. The success OF the captain
and his men on bringing in the burning
shin under her own steam without either
compass or chart is looked upon as be-
ing nothing short of miracle.
The British Consul and Furness, Witty
& Co. are now attending to the wants
of the destitute crew.

one Of the members OF the House said
10 hc interested in this move is Congress-

or not there is any legitimate reason for
associating that representative with the

fact that he visited Newport News SAT-

Sunday in inspecting the waterfront from
