The announcement has recently
been made that Ryan is now making
his preparations to retire from active
business life for the purpose of de-
voting his remaining years to his na-
tive state. In this connection 1t Is
interesting to note that he has had
under way for several months plans
for the erection of a million-dollar res
idence In Richmond. his idea being to
spend his winters in this city and his
summers on his Oak Ridge estate in
Nelson county.
A million-dollar office skyscraper for
Richmond also is In contemplation by

buildings are believed to be now in
the possession Of Ryan, who is ex-
pected to come to Richmond in the
early fall for the purpose of looking
over possible sites.

est in Richmond and in Virginia. Sew
eral years ago he financed the enter
prise that resulted In the erection in
Richmond of one OF the most mag
nificent Catholic cathedrals in the
south and in the country.
In this connection 1t is stated that
Ryan is as fast as possible breaking
his son, Allen A. Ryan, to take his
place in the financial world.
Thomas Fortune Ryan was born in
1851 in modest brick building. which
still stands at Lovingston, Va. the

time piled his trade at Amherst court

Years

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March So
Judge John W. Childress, judge Of the
circuit court of Davidson county. and
one Of the widest known public men
In Tennessee, died last night at the
home Of his son, A. L. Childress, just
as the clock struck nine. Judge
Childress has been i'll for many
months and for years past he has not
been in robust health. In December
he was stricken with a severe attack
Of indigestion just after leaving the
bench one morning, and before he had
fully recovered from this, in January,
the attack of creeping paralysis that
caused his death seized him.
Since Saturday morning he had
been gently sinking and the end came
quietly and without suffering or strug-
gle. All his own and his wife's rela-
tives, with the exception of two sons,
were at his bedside when the end
came, and his sons will arrive in
Nashville tonight.

The vote was not reached until after

tically empty.
An interesting feature of the pas

tin in the case of Easley Hibbett vs..
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis

sonal injuries.
The affidavit in the case was made

HOTEL GUEST In
FIGHT WITH POLICE
DETERMINED TO SAVE BAGGAGE
EVEN AT COST OF
THEIR LIVES. :.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 81
Fire today practically destroyed the
Leland hotel, one of the best known
hotels in the country.
The flames originated from some I'M
known cause in the upper portion OF
the northwest corner of the building,
and. driven by a heavy wind, soon
spread throughout the top story and
burned through the roof.
The Republican state convention
was in session at the armory, and all
of the delegates were there. The most
of them, however, lost all their bag
gage.
So far as known no lives were lost.
All of the attendants were able to
make their escape.
Many of the guests acted like mad
men. being determined to save their
yalises at the expense Of their lives.
They fought with the policemen at
the doors, who endeavored to keep
them from entering tho building, and
while an oficer was wrangling and
struggling with one, half dozen
others would slip past him and dash
to the flooded lobby, up the stairs and
splash their way along the halls In
the EFFORT to reach their rooms and
save their little handbags.
The attendants Of the hotel strug-
gled frantically with furniture and
sample trunks, saving some OF the
latter and little of the former.
The hotel, which stood at the corner
OF sixth street and Capitol avenue,
was four and one-half stories high.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn, March 81.
The work of promoting "Ovoca," the
combined summer resort, Chautauqua
and training school, a cooperative in
stitution promoted by the Knights OF
Pythias of Tennessee, is progressing
rapidly. and a tract of land in Coffee
County of about 900 acres, not far from
Tullahoma, offered free for this pur-
pose. will, in time, be beautified and
improved so as to make it one of the
most attractive spots in Tennessee.
1t is the purpose to raise by sub
scription some $4,000, and of this
sum almost $4,000 has been raised
since January.
OF this sum the improvements Will
be made and cottages built to be occu-
pied during the summer season, school
buildings for the education of worthy
young boys and suitable auditorium
and castle hall will be constructed, as
we'll as roads and streets laid out,
necessary sewerage and water and
light systems installed.
It is proposed to make the institu'
ton as near self-sustaining as posi-
BILE. and to have the schols to train
these boys run as many months in the
year as can be done with the means
at hand.
The boys will be practically trained,
and will work on the farm and in the
gardens to be established when not in
school.
