ltireless in their efforts to help save all
possible from the flames. They car
ried out baggage until the front yards
Of residents for blocks away were
crowded with luggage OF every char

cent to the hCtel was also taken out.
Every resident for Blocks around was
soon awake and Oh the scene. EXpres-
sions of regret. as deep as though a
personal loss were sustained, We're
heard from all lips. Richmond, in her
long history. has not had burned
building whose destruction caused
such genuine sorrow-certainly not
since the burning of the old Spotswood
Hotel, Christmas morning. 1870.
SCENES AT THE FIRE.
The scenes at the fire were stirring
beyond description. Magniticence as'1
beauty were conjoincd in u degree that
awed those who beheld the awful spec
tacle. The flames leaped 4 hundred
feet above the roof-high above the
lofty towers. and swirling heayenWard
stood out against the darkness. Writ
inc destruction upon the bosom OF the
night. The streets for many square
were as light as at monday. The roar
ing and cracking; the crash OF lalllns
,timbers and walls; the always thrliililS
sound of working engines, helped 10
make the scene one which will -re be re
membered.
AN EXPLOSION
Soon after the fire started a terrlnc
explosion. caused by the ignition OF !! tne
gas reservoir, startled and horrl1led
the spectators. The results We're not
fatal. The fearsome roaring ana
cracking; the crash Of falling 1ron;
and timbers and walls; the rhythmlcal
beat OF the working engines; the cries
of the tiremen; the ceaseless murlnuf
ing of the great throng that hemmed
in on every side the scene of the
mighty catastrophe, added features to
a spectacle which will never be forgot

Smoke grimed walls and smouldering
ruins are all that remain this morning
Of the ma gniticent Jefferson Hotel.
The splendid hostelry, at once the
glory OF latterday Richmond and the
pride of her people, was destroyed by
fire last night.
The great building was crowded
with guests, but there was no loss Of
life Several persons We're injured:
several hairbreadth escapes were re-
ported.
The larger portion of the furniture
was destroyed The magnificent fur
nishings Of the grand salon were got
ten out; practically all the baggage of
guests was saved The guests them
selves found shelter in other hotels:
the doors Of homes Of citizens We're
opened wide TO receive them and large
numbers are stopping now in private
homes.
CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
Defective insulation of an electric
light Wire is thought ITO have caused
the fire. 1t originated in closet, ap-
parently, on the fourth floor, at the
southeastern corner Of the building. 1T
was Ills O'Clock when the first alarm
was turned in. Tie fire had apparent
ly been eXtinguished, when the interior
of the Roof Garden, at the fifth story,
was found to be in blaze. Then the
entire department. was quickly on the
scene.
Water could not cope with .he flames.
A smart wind from out the northwest

Powerful streams from eight engines
were played upon the fire for hours.
The flames kept ieaping higher and
higher: their fury increased until there
was little left to feed upon.
CAUSED GREAT EXCITEMENT.

news that spread rapidly. 1t was not
