Destroy It,
RICHMOND, Va March 30. Tho magnlfl
cent Jefferson hotel, ono of the most Im
posing buildings In Richmond, was practl
cally swept out of exlstenco by fire this
morning. All that remains of tho mag
nlftccnt structure, which was built and fur
nlshcd at a cost of over $1,000,000, aro the
two clock towers and part of the court
fronting on Franklin street.
Tho firo was discovered near midnight
high up in the Main street portion of tho
building nnd wns not at first considered
serious. Tho hotel apparatus was brought
Into play, but tho hose burst. Tho flames
spread rapidly and messengers wcro sent
through tho building to awaken guests,
many of whom had to bo dragged out of bed
Thoro witB a general rush toward tho
Franklin street part. Tho department
worked hurriedly, but under tho greatest
difficulty, owing to the height of tho build
ing. In tho Franklin street section were a
number of very valuablo pictures nnd
marble statue of Jefferson. Tho stntuo was
saved minus tho head and the pictures wcro
gotten out, as was much of tho drapery and
furniture.
All tho guests got out safely. Mr. Rich
ards, n traveling mon of Danville, Va,,
waa tho only guest hurt. He fell down a
flight of stairs and broke his leg. A boy
named Robertson Is missing. It Is feared
he was caught In the burning building. Sev
eral tlromcn were moro or lcsa Injured, but
not Fertously.
The Insurance on tho building Is $630,000.
It Is not yot known whether tho hotel will
bo rebuilt. Tho Jetferson was opened about
six years ago nml was ono of the finest hos-
tnlrlca In tho south. It occupied a full half
block nnd was regarded ns practically fire
proof. Tho firo originated In tho linen
room, supposedly from a defective electric
wire. Tho majority of the guests lost their
baggage.
