New Jersey. Prince Hello de Sagan
Saturday left New York aboard the
American Liner st. Paul. an hour be-
fore the sailing of the North German
Lloyd Liner Frederick der Crosse, on
which Nine Gould, her children and
party had booked passage.
While Nine. Gould in the refuge of
the CAPTAINS suite kept out of speaking
distance from the newspaper men, her
friends at the ship corroborated the
princes assertion that they had not
been secretly married during the night.
I'm sick of this blankety-blank
country" is the observation an official
of the American Line says the weary
prince made to him as he fled to his
suite, seeking refuge from the vigilant
camera operators.
The official had remarked in joe
ular manner, II suppose you're glad to
leave, prince?" when he received the
emphatic reply given above.
While the scion of the house of de
Sagan was expressing his joy at leav-
ing these shores, the reporters at the
North German Lloyd piers in Hobo
ken, having discovered a high hat box
among the 30 pieces of baggage be-
longing to Nine. Anna, were certain
that the prince must be aboard still, he
having accompanied the party to the
pier last night, until it was remember
ed that the French able, who is tutor
to the little de Castellanes, wears a
high hat or occasions.
Prince Helie- was up very early,
considering the fact that it was mid
night when he returned from Hoboken
last night, after bidding the former
Countess of Castellane bon voyage.
A little after o'clock. having break
tasted in seclusion, he left his suite
and. with the Vicomte Albert de
Barres, slipped out through an alley
way entrance and into common hack.
In this he appeared at the American
Line pier and was much annoyed TO
he greeted by the bright morning faces
of more reporters.
AS they crowded around him the
nrince elbowed his way aboard the
steamship. exclaiming in answer to
QucStlOnS
"You'ye had a fortnight of me. Let
me alone. I've nothing to say.
He hurried to his suite, making ms
allege dremark about the condemned
state of the country on the way. The
suite consists of three roops and a
hath. After remaining locked in Tor
half an hour, the prince cautiously
neeked out, supposing he had eluded
pursuit. He was much chagrmed to
walk out into the same assemoiage
now grown much stronger.

prince.

Chelsea. destroying 500 dwelling houses
and public buildings, drove 1900 fami-
lies from their habitations and render
ed 10000 people homeless. The city so
licitor estimates the loss at $4,000, 900.
The fire area which was in the form
of an ellipse, extended for q mile and q
half, and was only ended when the
water was reached at Chelsea creek.
Starting from a backing factory at
the northwestern end of the city at
about 1030 a. M. today, it marched re-
lcntleSSly through the business section
and destroyed tenement houses on
either side by hundreds. Assistance
from all the nearby cities was called
in but the great battery of fire appa-
ratus was unable to stop the flames
until nearly dark.
In the meantime the fleeing inhabi-
tants were met by such a vast crowd
of spectators that it was necessary to
call for troops, and the United States
government and the state militia were
drawn upon to maintain order and
keep the fire lines clear for the fire.
men.
All the banks, more than three-quar-
ters of the churches, fully half of the
business section and nearly all the
schoolhouses were wiped out.
In the turmoil many of the sick and
infirn found difficulty in obtaining as
sistance and even were forgotten so
that at IL o'clock the number of known
dead was four. Three of these had
been burned to death and one woman
committed suicide at her home, as the
building caught fire.
Relief work for the care of the home
less was begun within six hours after
the fire started and at 10 o'clock to-
night was in full swing under the
leadership of the State Board OF Char
itV.
Fortunately the weather was moder-
ating so that suffering from exposure
was not severe.
The greater number of buildings on
the east side were of wood. 1t was
easy therefore for the fire to jump over
a block and start afresh beyOng reach
of the engines stationed at the last
point of attack.
