TunneIIing Out of Libby Prison.

James M. Wells, one of the surviving
actors in that astonishing epic, tells the
story himself in the January McClure's.
The Libby Prison was the place where
were confined, right in the centre of
Richmond, some five hundred Federal
prisoners during the War of Secession.
Fifteen of these prisoners, bound by
oath to secrecy dug their way down q
fall into the cellar of the prison, and
then tunneled out of it and across the
street, out to the precarious liberty af.
forded by the streets of the Confederate
capital. Wells tells of the tunneling,
of the escape by it of some two b n
dred prisoners, many of whom lere
recaptured; and of his own dash out of
the city into the Federal lines. The
story is one that stirs and impresses
with the extraordinary and cunning
which comes to the imprisoned man
longing for freedom.

Tin Wedding.

On Monday evening, Dec. 2Sth, a
small company of friends called at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs George
Quinn, on West Fourth street, to help
this popular couple celebrate their
tenth wedding anniversary.
After the tin horn band had render
a selection from Wagner for sere-
made, the joyous throng were invited
inside where the customary saluta-
tions of such an occasion were ex-
changed. A general good time follow
ed in which even the mistle.toe in it's
lofty position was not forgotten and
then came delicious luncheon, serv-
ed on tin, in which all took such a
strenuous part, that recommends
dation of Mrs. Guinn's culinary ac-
mplishments was unnecessary.
After a couple of flashlights of the
happy crowd, they conferred the best
wishes for many years to come on the
bride and groom and agreed that it
was one of the most enjoyable events
of the season.

East Ward Fire.

Last Sunday evening, about 7:15, the
East Ward Hose House, as well as lock-
up, was discovered to be on fire. 1t
was a terrible cold night, deep snow
and low pressure of gas, which pre-
vented the fire whistle being heard up
town. The Citizen Hose got their
hose out and turned on two streams,
but the fire was beyond control.
When the uptown companies arrived,
three fourths of an hour after the first
alarm, another stream was thrown on
the burning building, by uniting the
Mountaineer and Hamilton hose. The
flames were snbdued but not until the
building was almest dem molished. Had
it not been for the snow upon the
roofs of adjoining buildings there is no
doubt great amount of property
would have been destroyed. The
building was three story structure.
Loss $4,000; insured for $1,000 through
F. G. Judd & Co, of this place.
