cause was lost
General Weitzel, OF the Federals en-
tered upon the heels Of his cavalry. and
took command. The scene must have
touched him. He commanded his SOL
diers to stop pil1aging and to restore
order, and ordered detachments OF
troops to aid the fire companies In com
batting the flames. In the hour OF noon
the contlaSaration was gotten under
control by dynamiting the Trades Bank

path. But nothing remained where the
names had touched their livid tongues

DeSolatlon was on every street. The
destruction had been complete.
WHOLE BUSINESS SECTION
OF CITY WAS BURNED
The whole business section was
burned. and for half a mile down Main
street nothing but blackened piles re-
manned as fallen monuments to their
former pride. The fre-scathed district
stretched from tho north side of Main
street to the river. and from Eighth
Street to Twenty-third Street In all,
300 buildings, valued at 100000 had
! been destroyed. Some OF tho burned
! buildings were the Bank OF Richmond.

records; the Mechanics Institute and
all the buildings back to Main Street,
and the United Presbyterian Church, mt
Eighth and Franklin Streets.
There has been question as to why
ltichmond was burned. General EwelI
said afterwards that he received orders
to destroy all the cotton and tobacco
warehouses, which he thought he could
do without danger to the rest OF the
city. He asked for a volunteer guard
force, but only one responded. Con-
Haiescent soldiers stationed In Capitol
Square were powerless against the riot
ing when tho city began to burn. GEN
eral Ewell said that a mob OF all sexes
gathered and set fire to houses on Cary
street, and many buildings he ordered
to be spared were burned.
EXPLODING SHELLS SHOWER

The arsenal was destroyed, and the

When the news came to Richmond the
people were astounded. They had be-

the hour of-evcry woe and even In
that hour when Richmond sank in
ruins. that their cause would survive
and live In victory. But there had
been tho handwriting on the wall and
when Richmond was entered, defeat
for the Confederacy was practically
effected.
Information OF the surrender came to
the Federal authorities, and In Capitol
Square the national salute Of 200 guns
was fired. To the Federals 1t was the
salute OF final victory: to those silent
Southerners who listened. 1t was as the

A Man Who Died"

Once upon a time there lived
a man who wondered what his
neighbors thought about him.
In order to find out, he framed
up a deal with his wife and pre-
tended to die, so the story goes.
The undertaken was taken
into the secret and he laid the
body out in 4 coffin and opened
the lid in order that neighbors
might take a farewell look at the
late lamented.
Scores came to sit in the par
lor and talk in low tones about
the deceased. Some talked in
low tones about politics and the
crop prospect.
Meanwhile the dead" man
listened with both ears.
A thin, hatchet faced old maid
who loved gossip as a hog loves
the other kind of slop, and who
had for years pcddled slander
about the man who lay in the
coffin, wiped away an imaginary
tear and simpcrcd to the wife: 81

sad hour, dear sister. The dear

and so kind and SO good. |
know you burden is heavy"
And a hard-looking customer
with bristling, close cropped
grey hair-a man who had
fought and CusSed and hated the
chap in the coffin for almost
half century, cleared his throat
and rumbled: "Yes, indeed. We
shall all miss him. He was very
dear to me, and | appreciate
your feelings"
Then the preacher placed his
finger tips together and looked
at the ceiling. The preacher
had often referred to the coffin's
occupant as a poor lost SOUL
and a 'black sheep" H. heliev-
