Practically all of the house furnishings were destroy ed. Many of the guests, including wo men and children, left the Inn bare footed and in their night gowns. Oth ers were able to gather up a few things onlj'. One lady this morning laugh jingly said she did a woman's part, that jshe saved an empty grip, a pair of "boots and one slipper. ASHEVILLE, April 14. (Later) ;A11 guests at the burned Kenilworth Inn have been located. Mrs. Ranelly and Mrs. Terrill, who could not be ac counted for this morning have later een located at local boarding houses. State Senator Gazzam, who jumped from a third-story window, is fatally injured, it is said. Physicians at noon stated that he had a broken ankle and ,an injury to the spine, and a frac ture of the skull at the base of the jbraln. The Kenilworth - Inn" with its furnishings cost $310,000, with $75,000 insurance. Kenilworth Inn was built in 1891 jtoy a stock company headed by George "W- Vanderbilt. Prominent among H16., stockholders were the Southern vKaiiu-ay company, Strawbridge & iiothier. of Philadelphia one of the largest wholesale and retail dry goods concerns in America, and Dr. Brown ing, Of PhiladAlnhU. ttrhrt hiul Mr gently amassed a larfe fortune. The 't'uai cost of the hotel was $200,000 '. crowning was really the original w1?0" of the scheme to erect th tei, and it was he whQ operated lt lotl! the first thfe years of It's ex- V .. (Ii0ced!,l Browning In the op yvhi 8 of the h011 Mr. Rhodes, Z?? hottl for about twd years up upon the death of hit wife whSoa Ur. 4Clair took it la i charge, operating it for only a short time. Af terr that it was leased by Lihdsey & Kittredge, under the direct management of Mr. C. A..Iandsey. who is one of the best known hotel men in. the United Sftates, "he having built Hampton Terrace, at Augusta, Ga., which is one of -the largest and best resort : hotels in-America. Mr. Kitt redge of- the . above firm afterward went to The Antlers, a prominent, re sort hotel in Denver, Colorado.- ' - After the management of LIndsey & Kittridge the hotel .was. operated one season by a Mr. Bryan, of Connecti cut, after which Kenilworth Inn. was .leased in December, 1902, by Mr. Edgar B. Moore, who is now proprie tor of the Selwyn in this city. Mr. Moore was conducting the notel with a manager- when he took", charge of the Selwyn, retiring from all connec tion with tbe hotel upon the expiration of "his lease On December 1, 1907. Mr. Moore is the only " person who ever held, the - hotel for., a. period .longer than three years. For seven years prior to the time Mr. Moore took the hotel it had only been operated as a winter resort. When he took the ho tel Mr. Moore began running it as an all-year 'house and it has continued as such until .now. During the time-Mr. Moore was runnlng Kenilworth - Inn he succeeded in bringing several very large conventions to the hotel, a "number- of .whichhave-jaet tfiere. regular ly eaclr-year since. . : ; Two notable -gatherings which were booked for the coming summer are the Young Woman's Christian Associa tion of America, and the Young Peo ple's Missionary Movement,- both of which usually carry a crowd of from 400 to 500 people. . . The .property was sold , at a public sale in November, 1902 to satisfy a mortgage held by one of the Philadel phia trust companies,- the purchase price ' being ' $50,000, the purchaser being Mr. Joseph .Gazzal. who has operated the hotel, since Mr. Moor gave it- up until March-1, of the pres ent year, when it was leased by Mrs. Annie D. Martin, who gave up Victo ria Inn, at Asheville, to take charge f KenHworth. Mrs. Martin is con sidered one -of - the - best -hotel - keep ers among women who operate ho tels in the -South., Mrs. Martin will probably be one of the heaviest los ers as a result of the fire, she having moved all her own furniture from Vic toria Inn whenhe took charge of the hotel. Kenilworth Inn afforded acc6mmo dations Jor from 200 to 250 guests. It has entertained in its day some of the wealthiest and most prominent people in America and . there was no better furnished hotel in the entire South. Mr. Moore states. that about 170,000 .
