Love Match Really Began With
Thrilling Experience in
Old Mexico.

CHICAGO, July "a romance that
mad It's inception on the verdant slopes
OF the Mexican hills reached a happy
ciimax-really such climax MS is sell
oom FOUND outside of a story book
when a plain American man who had
won fame and fortune through grit
ana toll led to the altar yesterday
member OF the Grecian nobility.
The wedding was celebrated in New
YORK City, and the principals were the
countess Sophia de Rilly, the guest of
nonor at numberlcss society functions
IN this city, and George Shrotter,
mining engineer Of Denver, Colo.
The Countess was only recently di-
vorced from her husband, who is now
believed to be In Mexico, and hardly
had Judge Gibbons signed the decree
when she declared that she wonld
never marry any one but an Amer
lean.
Beginning of Romance.
who came 70 Chicago to make her home
two years ago, met Shrotter while look
ing over some mining property in Mex
leo with her husband. from whom she
recently secured a divorce on tho
grounds of drunkenness. Shrotter was
there in behalf of a large mining syn
dicate of London. With several women
the Countess strolled into the hills.
They had reached the top OF one of
the mountains and were preparing to
descend when the Countess lost her
footing and was hurt in the fall. Shrot-
ter, who was standing near by, as
sisted her to her feet, and, partially
carrying her, escorted the noblewoman
to her hotel.
On the way friendship sprung up
between the Countess and her rescuer
that soon ripened into love and hasten

James Hamilton Lewis was then pre-
pairing to begin
Divorce Is Unique One.
The divorce was one of the most
unique In the history OF the country.
The decree had to be signed by score
OF subalterns before the King of Greece
attached his signature to make It valid.
and 1t was thought for a time that a
new marriage might teopardize her
property rights In her native State. Her
cousin. DR., Nicholas Salopoulos, the
Chicago Greek Consul. said that no
complications would arise, as the Coun-
tess was regularly divorced according
to the American law.
The divorce. however, was only
granted on Juno 81. and under the ILL.,
noIs law the Countess could not remaT-
ry for year, Consequently she had to
go to New York
Love Match, Pure and Simple.
Mr.. Shrotter Is a very wealthy man,
said DR.. Salopoulos last night He
made his money by hard work, and is
fine specimen OF American manhood
through and through. The Countess,
my cousin Is also very wealthy In her
own right. and the marriage was purely
a love match. Yes, she is now Just
plain Mrs. Shrotter. and l suppose
some Newport girl can have the title II
she Will look UP the former husband,
Mr.. and Mrs. Shrotter will make their
home in New York. but the former
Countess, according to her cousin, Will

COAL TAKES A JUMP
Dealers Add Twenty-Five Cents to Cost
Of Coal With Opening ofSeptenlber

of Coal With Opening ofSeptember
The various coal dealers in Kenosha
have announced that following the
usual custom in the city, the price of
coal was advanced twenty-five cents
ton on Sept. 1st. Coal is now sell
ing in Kenosha at $7.75 ton. The
dealers, when seen this morning.
stated that there was no reason to be-
1ieve that there would be a shortage
of the supply of coal this year, but
the price will undoubtedly advance
in mid winter to the high point of
eight dollars ton. It has been some
time since Kenosha people have paid
eight dollars for coal, but the dealers
claim that the price has been raised
all over the country and they will be
forced to meet the advance. Three
steamers laden with coal came into
the local port on Sunday and the sup
ply is now pretty well on hand

SINK OLD SCOW
Life Savers Find Dere1ict Floating off
Kenosha and They Sink Her

Life Savers Find Dere1ict Floating off
Kenosha and They Sink Her
Early Sunday morning the lookout
of the Kenosha Life Saving Crew dis
covered an overturned boat floating
in the lake two miles off Kenosha.
and the crew went out to investigate
the case. It was found that the dere-
lict was an old abandoned scow. 1t
was waterlogged and worthless, and
the crew decided that it was not
worth towing into port, and in order
that other life savers would not be
called out to rescue it the men bored
a hole in the old boat and sent it to
the bottom of the lake.
1t is not thought that any one had
gone out in the boat, but it is thought
that it drifted from its moorings along
Pike Creek and found its way to the
lake.

Waukegan Man Claims North
western Co. Is Backing Old
Clarke Electric Project
TO CONNECT AT LAKE BLUFF
Plan Said to Include a Line Which
Will Come Into Corr petition With
the Chicago and Milwaukee
for Local Business

The secret is out. Don't tell any
one about it. According to a state
ment, that is made BY man alleged
to be we'll acquainted in railway af-
fairs, the Chicago and Northwestern
RAJ way company is to be back of the
plan to build an electric railway from
this city to Waukegan. It is claimed
tina there is no longer any doubt as
to the connection of the Northwestern
with the old Clarke project, of which
the proposed Chicago, Kenosha and
Milwaukee Electric railway is sup
posed to be part. The Waukegan
man, who claims to have his infOrma-
tion direct from headquarters, states
that the line is to run from Kenosha
to Waukegan and from that point to
Lalse Bluff where it will be connected
with the right of way of the Chicago
and Northwestern road, AS the
Northwestern company controls much
of the land along the right of way Of
the proposed road it would be an easy
matter to work out this plan.
the Northwestern direct competition
with the Chicago and Milwaukee cleo
trio line and would be an easy matter
for the company to run all fast trains
between Chicago and Milwaukee over
the new tracks to the west and reserve
the present. tracks for use of electric
cars and local trains.
This would make it possible for the
two roads to use the same depots and
there would be no trouble in getting
rightof way through any of the towns
along the north shore, as this right of
wayis already owned by the North
western company and in most places
1t IS claimed that the company owns
faussenough to provide FOR the laying
of four tracks.
1t is admitted that some one with
extensive means has recently come to
the aid of the old Clarke forces and
money is being put up to secure the
laying out of the route and to carry
on the preliminary work. It is
planned to build this line just as soon
as franchise rights can be secured in
Kenosha and Waukegan, but from the
attitude of the officials Of the two
cities it may be many months before
the way is opened by the granting of
the much needed franchises.
The company has done nothing to
advance it's interest in Kenosha dur
ing the last three or four months and
it is stated that the company is wait
ing for the council committee to get
ready to act on the franchise ordi-
nance before it takes any further ac-
ton. The proposed franchise ordi-
nance has not made hit In Kenosha
and the company will have to make
greater concessions to the city if the
ordinance is passed by the council.
The fact that the Northwestern is be-
hind the proposed line would not in
any way prejudice the people of Ken
osha against the ordinance, as such a
fact would insure the building Of the
line in a proper manner. The alder
men on the railway committee will
closely investigate these facts before
any action is taken.

the plumber had been buried in the

accidental. It is probable that Tolf
