in Georgia, aged eighty years.
The ice house of Warner Moore &
Co., situated on the James river in the
lower portion of Richmond, was burned
last night. The structure made blaze
visible for miles but the loss was not
great.
Scott Davis, forty years of age, com
mitted suicide at his home in Clarke
county on Sunday by cutting his throat
With a razor. Dependency over con-
tinued i'll health is assigned as the cause
of his death.
The War Department has sent Gov

muster rolls of the Confederate army,
now being compiled by the department,
along with those of the Union army.

New York, Feb. 9.-Although the
stock market was somewhat irregular
and naturally feverish after the sharp
losses of yesterday prices were generally
higher and more active support on the
leading bull interest was evident. The
beginning of active hostilities in the far
East was apparently ignored by the trad
ing element First prices we're irregu-
lar owing to declines reported from Lon
don, but the speculation soon became
more settled and on covering Of shorts
there were numerous sharp advances.
The general average improvement was !
to Il per cent The speculation is on a
more moderate scale than Yesterday.

The Clash of Arms.
Two Russian Battleships and Cruiser
Sunk by Japanese.

Paris, Feb. 9.-The Agencie Nation
ale publishes a dispatch from st. Peters
burg, stating that the japanese navy has
sunk two Russian cruisers and one trans
port off Port Arthur.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 9.-According to
the Official Messenger, paper closely
in touch with all governmental affairs,
the first gun Of the Japanese Russian
war has been fired, and war is an actual
ity. The paper reports that Admiral
Alexef, Russian Viceroy of the far East,
at midnighto of February Sth telegraphed
the Gar that nine japanese boats sud
denly made an attack by mines upon
the Russian squadron in the outer roads,
off Port Arthur. In the clash the Rus
sian battleships Retvizan and Tsarveitch
and the cruiser Palada we're damaged.
The damaged battleships are Of the
latest and best in the Russian navy.
The Retvizan was launched in Phila-
delphia by the Cramps in 1901. She is
vessel of 1900 tons displacement,
has an armament of four Pinch, II
six inch quick firing, and 20 three-inch
quick firing guns. She has an indicated
horse power of $500, and a normal
speed of IS knots an hour
The Tsarevitch was launched in 1902.
She has a displacement of 10, 100 tons.
and an armament and horse power sim
liar to that Of the Retvizan.
Chefu, Feb. 9.-As prophesied in
these dispatches yesterday the initial
victory of the Russo-Japan war has
been scored by the japanese navy by
sensational attack under the very guns
of Port Arthur. The most vulnerable
point of Russian defense has been, in
TACT. Port Arthur, the harbor being too
small to hold all the fleet, necessitating
n number to anchor in the outer roads.
Two days ago the japanese vessels were
sighted off Wei-Hai-Wei. On Monday
night under cover of darkness a torpedo
detachment of 8 vessels got within firing
distance and discharged tubes. Two
Russian battleships and a cruiser were
damaged.
One report received here says the
vessels are in a sinking condition,
while another says the damage sustained
was slight.
The greatest confusion was immedi-
ately manifested aboard the Russian
feet of vessels. The japanese feet re-
treated amid furious broadside from
several of tie Russians. There was
no report of damage on board the Japa
nese ships.
The result will give the japanese
predominance required while she dis
embarks her army on the Korean coast,
probably at the mouth of the Cheng-
Cheng-Ang river.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 9.-Admiral
Alexieff has sent report OF the attack
and its result to the Gar.
The battle has caused the caDcelling
of the imperial ball which was set for
this evening. In its place a solemn TIE
Deum will be celebrated at 8 o'clock this
afternoon and will be attended by all the
court functionaries. Prayers will be
offered for speedy victory to the Russian
crews.
London, Feb. "a japanese export
house has just received information that
Russian war ships have captured the
japanese steamer Inaba Maru, near
Hong Kong.

miralty has received news that the jap
