RESTRAINING THE TRUSTEES
From Receiving or Paying Out,
Mopsy-only Given s25o,ooo q
Year on Which to Live.

L ~ III y .
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Justice Fitz-
gerald, In the supreme court, on the
application OF attorneys for Anton j.,
Dittmar issued an injunction to-day,
restraining Count Bonl de Castellane.
Anna Gould, Countess de Castellane,
and George J. Gould, Howard Gould.
Edwin Gould and Helen NJ. Gould. as
trustees undcr the will Of tho late Jay
Gould. from receiving or paying out nuy
portion of the property left by Jay
Gould. The order also restrains the
trustees from paying 10 the Countess
de castellane or any one acting for her,
any rents, Issues, profits. income or
avnils under the will of Jay Gould. or
from applying any of her share under
the will to the payment Of any debts In
Cured by her.
Must Live Economically.
1t is,claimed that $3.50, 900 year is oil
that the Count and Countess require
for their support, and the plaintiff asks
that the remainder of the income
should be applied to the payment OF
the counts debts. It is said that over
s25o,oOo of surplus income has already
accumulated IN the hands OF the trus-
tees, which ought to be used for this
purpose. The present suit is said to be
a test case, and II ls reported, Is back
ed by other creditors than Wethheim-
er; III.
Jndee Dillon COUNSELLOR the Gould
family, made the following statement
concerning the suit: 55s
Y '"The: COUNTESS de Castellane Is not
entitled to any part of the capital or
principal sum or the estate of her faith
er,. as the statement Of the plaintiff
seems TO imply. e S.i...
Income a Trust Fund,
The, W III Of Nh Gould provides, In
substance. that thesineome 1isi to ha-.sa
trust fund In the hands of the trustees
to be appointed for the support and
maintenance of his daughter and that
che cannot anticipate or dispose or any
part OF that income until 1t is actually
received by her, and that until so re-
ceived 1t shall not be liable for her
debts or those Of her husband; and un-
doubtcdly the trustees will feel It to be
their duty to have this provision In the
will carried out In Its full extent or as
far as possible. She has no control. nor
has the court any control over the
principal sum. which goes to her chill
dren after her death.
"In the foregoing statement It Is
said the creditors claimed the proceed
lngs In Paris whereby George Could
was appointed guardian for his sister,
that the idea OF the Gould family was
TO get possession of the income OF the
Countess de Castellnne and force her
creditors to settle on their own terms.
This Is obviously mistake. as the
only effect of that proceeding Is TO
prevent her from mourning fresh ohli-
cations without the consent of her
brother"

SYNDICATE OF RAILROADS
Railroads Consolidating Under One
 Head.

Chicago, Oct 25.-E. H. Hartman, chairman of the board of directors of the Chicago and Alton. who was in this city yesterday attending con ference of directors and officials of the roads in which he is interested, has re- turned east. Before leaving he would neither deny HOT affirm the report tel egrapheti from New York that the con- trol Of the Pacific MHil Steamship con- pany had been secured y q syndicate headed by himself and W. K. Wander bilt. He stated emphatically, however. that he would not be president nor hold any other official position with the Pa citic Mail Steamship company.
 Nr Hartman also took occasion to deny the report that the Kansas City Southern formerly Kansas City and Gulf) road would be amalgamated with the Chicago and Alton. 1t is said that MT Hartman came here to consult with John w. Gates regarding the transfer of the stock held by Mr Gates in the Kansas City Southern to the Hartman syndicate. NIT Harri- man. it is said. has decided that the in dependent organizations of the Alton and Kansas City Southern must be maintained for an indefinite period, but that the two roads would be more closely allied by having the Alton as sume the fixed charges of the Kansas City Southern road.
 The Union Pacific and Missouri. Kansas and Texas roads. which are members of the H0rrimanAlton syn dicate. are said to have objected to the consolidation of the Chicago and Alton and Kansas City Southern, as they are competing directly with the latter road.

PROSPECT RESERVOIR DRY.
City Depending at Present on the Sup
 ply at Wigwam Reservoir.

[ ply at Wigwam Reservoir.
 The Prospect reservoir is now dry and we need not expect any more help from it until the rainy season sets ln. The East Mountain reservoir will give out during the present week, and then all the water we will have in that part of the town will be the full of the dis tributing reservoir, which. will soon disappear When this supply is ex- hausted we will be. dependent entirely on the WigWam reservoir, and it is thought that it would not take long to empty 1t with all sections of the city drawing from it. There seems to be no remedy. The powers that be can do great things when they get down to business, but they don't seem to have any control over the elements. The question of an additional water supply should have been taken hold of two years ago. It would not cost as much to do it then as it will now, but, of course, the outlay would not give Mayor Barlow chance to retire with as good record for keeping down eX- penses as he wanted. No doubt Mayor Barlow meant well. but in the light of subsequent events it is plain that he made q mistake in not taking hold of the water question. But what's the use of talking about what ought to have been done. The proper thing to do now is to take time by the fore lock and see if we can put ourselves in better shape for another dry season as far as water is concerned than we are at present.
