that they eloped In q motor car from

But the idyl was soon shattered and
now the noble count leads q trans

The aggravating circumstance In
the case OF the Countess San Mar

which would be valid In Italy, for
the laws OF that country admit no
divorce. Her case Is similar to that
of the Countess Edith Van Burden do

striven vainly to break the bonds
which bind her to Neapolltan noble

Tourist Hotel Mt I.akeyiew Destroyed
by Fire-Seyeral Narrow Escapes.
Carthage, n. c.. March Two
guests lost their lives, a score mar
rowly escaped death or serious injury
and a property damage OF $4,000
was sustained by a fire which early
yesterday morning destroyed the
beautiful new tourist hotel, ''Loch
Crystal" at Lakeview, a resort about
eight miles from this place.
The dead are: Mrs. Anna NJ.
Barnes, of New York; Mrs. G.. G. Pet
tbs, of New Haven, Conn, who died
from injuries after a heroic rescue by
her son.
Howard Whitmore, clerk in the
hotel, who by his tireless efforts and
splendid bravery saved many guests,
was badly burned and is confined to
his bed from injuries received. e. S.
Wooley, of Detroit, Mich, also suf-
fered injuries while working to res
cue the guests. For his bravery and
daring in saving lives of the guests
he deserves special mention.
The fire was discovered about five
o'clock in the morning and the flames
so quickly spread through the large
frame building that all efforts to
check them were futile, and the only
hope was to save the lives Of the
twenty-five guests who were stopping
in the hotel. The entire building is
tonight a mass of smoldering ruins
and practically nothing was saved by
the guests. All trunks and other per-
sonal effects of the tourists were lost,
those who made their way to safety
being clad only in light attire. Many
guests left large sums of money in
the burning building and many preci.
Gus jewels were lost.
Mrs. Barnes was on the third floor
of the building and her body has not
yet been recovered from the ruins.
Several futile efforts were made by
rescuers to reach her.
