Goulds Paw Boni's Debts.

Paris, Sept. lit is now known why
the sale OF Count Castellsne's castle was
countermanded. Countess Anna, though
failing to sway her brothers and es-
pecially her sister Helen to give money
for Count Boni on their last trip to New
York for that purpose some months
ago, decided to make a last appeal, aud
her distress was so pitiful that Edwin
was touched and he finally prevailed
upon George. The brothers then sent
for Count Boni and after imposing upon
him some rather severe conditions, put
up enough money to pay the main Gre
dtors and stop the sale. Well-inform-
ed friends allege thal!COunt Boni, when
he saw how DESTROYS the Gcult family
was to prevent the scandal of sale
under the BANNER, took advantage Of
the situation and refused to accept any
help unless his whole debts we're wiped
out. The same people further affirm
that George Gould refused to trust the
money in the Counts hands, and paid
the creditors himself, the sum thus ad-
vanced sggregating 100000 francs
(about 81, 100000. Edwin sailed yea
