Hulk TO Be DESTROYED.

The hulk of the old sidewheel steamboat
Phlox, which has been lying at the ferry
line wharf at Alexandria for several months
past is to be destroyed. in order to get the
copper and other metal used In her con-
struction. She will, 1t is stated, be lowed
in short time TO point on the river shore
near Alexandria and. after being saturated
with oil will lie set on fire. BY this means
her owners will be enabled to get the metal
in her without much expense and with but
little trouble The Phlox was formerly a
tender to the United States Naval Academy
and ran between Annapolis and Baltimore.
Becoming untitled for the service she was
sold about a year or two ago to an Alex
sndria junk dealer, who removed the en-
CINE. boiler and other machinery from her
and left the hull and a portion of the upper
works of the steamer intact IL was pro-
posed to use the hull for ii barge for the
transportation of coal and lumber on
Chesapeake bay, but It is now stated this
plan has been abandoned and the old
steamer is TO be burned up. 1t is stated
that copper nails were used in her construo-
ton and that the metal is worth more than
her owners could obtain for the old hull In

nan, who died Saturday afternoon at his

able assistance to the government during

man to break ground at Fort Ellsworth. He
