the prison would become flooded with
water. and platoons of hoary rats
emerged from its ancient walls on
the surface of the tide The eastern
most cellar was the worst and was
known as Rats hell
From the first day of his incarcera-
ton Roses mind turned to thoughts Of
escape, and ali through the course of
the partly successful plot he was the
engineer and captain He found
loyal lieutenant in Major A. g. Hamil-
ton of the Twelfth Kentucky cavalry,
and together the two men decided that
the most feasible plan was to dig q

distance of about seventy feet, to an
empty shed abutting on a building
owned by the James River Towing
company. The exterior of the prison
was carefully guarded night and day
by sentinels, but indoors the vigilance
was somewhat relaxed at night. AT
one time more than 400 prisoners were
in the secret of the work, all under
oath, but by some miracle the Confed-
crates did not discover what was on
foot
Work was begun with a broken
shovel and two case knives. With inf
mite pains the men cut through stone
walls and piling in various places only
to find themselves frustrated, now by
water from the canal, now by some inn
passable obstacle. They tried to avail
themselves of old sewers, but one was
too small and one debouched in too
public spot. Finally they adopted the
plan of digging eastward to the shelter
of the other building.
Rose picked out thirteen faithful fol
lowers in addition to himself and Ham
ilton. Most of the others had been dis
couraged by the slime, the foul air and
the i'll success of previous attempts.
Rose and his little band went on in
defatigably, scarcely eating, scarcely
sleeping, engrossed in the one feverish
thought of liberty. At best it would be
slender chance. The streets of Rich
mond were patrolled by southern pick
cts, and friends were few for escaped
Yankees wearing prison stained blue
uniforms. But hope, springing persist
emily. drove them on.
By great good fortune Rose had
come into possession of rope nearly
hundred feet long. an inch thick and
new. BY an agreement between the
commissioners Of exchange several
bales Of clothing had been sent By the
Federal government to the suffering
soldiers at Belle Isle. A committee of
Union officers from Libby prison had
been assigned to supervise the distri-
button, and one Of them by bit of
clever legerdemain managed to secrete
the rope which bound one Of the bales.
Rose and Hamilton fashioned it into
ladder.
They concluded that the safest
means Of getting into Rats hell with
out detection would be to dig a secret
passage from the kitchen. which was
on the floor above but not directly
over Rats hell. Carefully digging

ATLANTA'S BUSINESS MEN
 TO REBUILD IMMEDIATELY

Atlanta, Ga, May 9.---Atlanta's bus iness interests will rebuild immediate- ly the three blocks of buildings de- stroyed in yesterdays fire. Practical ly every owner in the district has an- nounced that modern structures will be erected when the ruins have been cleared.
 Today found several men at work cleaning out piles of brick and stone. tearing down tottering walls, restor- ing the streets to traffic, replacing broken telephone and telegraph poles and digging safes out of the wreckage.
 The loss stands at practically one million and a quarter of dollars with the insurance about nine hundred 1 thousand.
 That there was no loss of life. and no one injured. is rather remarkable and may be accounted for principally by the extreme police precautions which prevented any one approaching the buildings during the time the hremen were at work.
 Wall after wall and roof after roof fell while the flames were at the height and several times gangs of firemen were nearly caught as the heat burst out four or five stories of brick and sent partitions scattering about tha streets.
 As one result of this, the mast seri- ous fire Atlanta has known since Sher- man burned the city 1t is likely an in- vestigation will he made Into the water pressure.
 As the fire burned first early yester- day several streams of water failed to reach the second stories of the build ings and for a time 1t was thought that dynamiting would have to be re- corted to. to check the flames. The situation has led the city officials to institute an inquiry into the matter of water pressure.

 Berlin, May 9.-Prince Phillip Zr Eulenberg who was arrested yester- day at his castle at Libenburg On the charge of perjury. In connection with the allegation of improper conduct made against him last summer by Maxilien Harden. has been lodged in two rooms of the Charity Hospital. He is being attended by his own valet, but is constantly under the observa- tion of agents of the criminal police. He was visited today by his wife.
 The Princes lawyers persist in their attempt to prove that their client is being detained without proper process of law. The acts charged against the Prince, and of which he has taken his oath that he is not guilty. appear to have been committed more than twenty years ago. and the defenders of the Prince affirm that they should therefore be regarded as beyond the period of inquiry into such offenses, even if they were ever committed.
