HOW A FORTUNE
 WAS SOUANDERED
The Castellanes Laid Out Nearly S3,0o0,OOO on Their New Paris Mansion-Some
 Other Extravagances

From the New York Times.
 Five years ago last March Miss Anna Gould, youngest daughter of the late Jay Gould, was married in this city to the Count Boniface de Castellane, eldest son of the Marquis de Castellane, who is the head of one of the oldest families of the French nobility. According to a clause in the will of her father, Miss Anna Gould marrying with the full consent of her brothers and sister, was to receive one sixth of the Gould estate, or a portion es- timated at-about $15,O00O0O, to hold in trust for her children, which at her death would go to them or their heirs unreservedly According to French law the accumulated income from her share at the time of her marriage, added to whatever concessions her brothers and sister might make, would be regarded as her dot and hence pass un- der the control of her husband. At the time of the marriage the amount of the dowery was variously estimated at from $3, 0000 GOO to $5,000,000 Added to this sum the count has, of course, had at his dis posal the income of $15, ,000 GOO.
 In the intervale of five years stories of the extravaganza of the Castellanes have been sent out by Paris correspondents. At the beginning it was said that the count impressed his bride with the fact that the only way by which she could hope to get into the society of the Faubourg St. Ger

The Railway Injunction
Suit Now On Before
the Chancellor.

Argument in the injunction suit
of the Wilmington City Railway
Companysvs. the Wilmington and
Brandywine Springs Company is
now being heard by Chancellor
Nicholson. 1t opened at noon and
will probably continue for several
days.
Willard salisbury appeared for
the Wilmington Company and Ben
iamin Nields and William S. Hilles
for the Brandywine Springs Com.
pany. Otherrepresentatives of the
contrasting companies were in court.
AS soon as the railway troubles
were taken up by the court. formal
dismissal was made OF the original
rule prayed for by the Wilmington
and Brandywine Springs Company
VS.. the Wilmington City Railway
Company. This action was upon
the motion of counsel for the Will
mington Il Brandvwine Springs
Company. Then the bill of partic-
ulars and the atfidavits of the PLAIN
t,ffs in the new suit or that of the
Wilmington City Railway Company
were presented. The bill OF par
ticulars sets out that under the
charter OF the Wilmington City Rail
way Company it has the exclusive
right to maintain trolley roads over
the streets of the city. The Street
and Sewer Department therefore
erred in granting tothe Wilmington
ana Brandywine Springs Company
the right TO build line on West
Sixth street.
After brief recess for dinner
the argument was resumed.

ARGUMENT
ON A PATENT
Interesting Patent Suit
Now Being Argued in
1 the United States
Court.

The case of the Chisholm-Scott
Company VS.. Zachariah Johnson
came before Judge Bradford in the
United States Court today for argu-
ment. The case is one of allege d
infringement of the patent OF a pea
shelter. The Chisholm-Scott Com
pany claims that Johnson who is
Gamer at Houstonin this State, has
operated machine that is an in
fringement upon their pea Smelling
machine. The Chisholm-Scott Com
pany's work are at Suspension
Bridge, N. Y. and the machine
used by Johnson is manufactured
by J. H. Empson Of Colorado. The
plaintiffs are representedby Henry
A. Seymour and Gustave Kissing.
patent attorneys Of Baltimore, and
r. S. Taylor OF Indiana, represents
Empson from whom Johnson pur-
chased hispea shelter. Five models,
four jars of peas, number of
drawings OF pea shelters and books
were produced in the court room to
be used in demonstrating the
patent.
Argument was opened by Mr..
Seymour who drew attention to the
former machines in the market. In
1887 the Chisholms who were then
natives of Canada. came to Balti-
more and so did MIR. Scott also.
They both had pea shelters and a
test was made in the presence OF
the pea Gamers Of Baltimore. The
Chisholm machine shelled 400
bushels while the Scott machine did
the work Of Smelling 10 bushels,
Then Gamers found that SCOTS
machine was the best separator but
was inferior, as a hullcr to the CHS
holm machine. After that Chisholm
and Scott combined their machines
and the present one was then the
result. The peas in pods are fed
into the cylinder at one end and it
travels at the rate of about Is feet
a second. The peas are separated
from the pods by compression of
air. The compression is such that
the peas are hullcd without injury
to .the peas and thereby making
them suitable for canning. The
mere process outside of the me-
.ehanical construction of the machine
is under the patent. The argument
will last three avs.
