THE COUNTESS IS
GRANITE DIVORCE
AND is GIVEN CUSTODY OF THE
THREE CHILDREN.
BoNI is DENIED HIS ANNUITY
The Goulds Viii Not Contribute
$4,000 Year For His Support
Children Cannot Come
to America.
B0NI is DENIED HIS ANNUIT!

Paris, Nov. 14.-Countess Castel-
lane (nee Miss Anna Gould of New
York; was today granted a divorce
from Count Boni. She was also Civ
en- the custody of their three chill
dren, but will not be permitted to
take the children to America without
permission of the court.
Boni will be permitted to see the
children during the Christmas and
Easter seasons and summer holidays
and will have a share in the control
of their education.
The possibility of Annals re-mar-
riage is not touched upon in the de-
cree. 1t is presumed, however, she
is free to marry again when she
wishes.
AS soon as the court assembled
Judge Ditto handed down CAe judg-
ment, which is a sweeping victory
for the countess. In granting her
petition for divorce the court gave
the countess the custody of her chill
dren, the count being allowed only
the usual rights to see Them and
share in the control of their educa-
ton, which was not contested.
The counts deman~ for "alimentary
allowance of $4,000 annually" was
pronounced by the court to be with
out foundation in law and was re-
jected.
The only point decided in the
counts favor was the imposition of
the inhibition of the countess to take
the children out of France without
their fathers consent.
The court appointed the president
of the chamber of notaries to liquid
ate the affairs of the husband and
wife.
The end Of the famous case came

A SECOND SHOOTING.
BUXTON IS THE SCENE OF AN.
OTHER QUARREL THAT MAY
END IN MURDER.

Buxton, Nov. 14.--The resourceful-
ness Of Buxton was aptly illustrated
Tuesday. A reporter hearing the
rumor of a shooting scrape at that
town Immediately took means of as
certaining the correctness of the re-
port. He was successful in locating
a shooting affray that came near be-
ing a murder, but is was not the af-
fair that had been mentioned in the
rumor.
Buxton had two shooting affairs on
Monday evening. Chas Barefeld,
colored, shot robert Winston, also
colored, at dance hall where an en-
tertainment was being held. The
men quarreled over a woman and
Bare6eld pulled gun and COM
menced shooting. Winston was hit
in the abdomen by one of the balls.
The wound is not regarded as serious
and the injured man is in no imme-
diate danger of death.
Barefield made his escape from the

pondence between the count and
women was introduced and the case
was adjourned to November Z, when
the final pleas were made and the
suit adjourned until November IA.
On the following day, November 8,
the case of the counts creditors was
presented to the court and adjourned
for two weeks.

suddenly. The court brushed aside
TIE demand OF the counts lawyers
fSs an examination of witnesses and,
as anticipated, the public prosecutor
did not even ask to be heard.
The judgment was given with
costs against the count. The decree.
the reading of which hardly con.
sumed five minutes, was delivered by
the judge in a voice so low as to be
practically inaudible to the eager
crowd filling the court room. Many
women climbed the chairs in vain
efforts to hear the decision, and
when they were aware that divorce
was granted they seemed actually to
resent the loss of public trial at
which people in high society would be
compelled to testify.
Anna Gould, the youngest daugh-
ter of the late Jay Gould, was mar
ried to Count Ernest Boniface de
|Castellane, the eldest son of the Mar
quis de Castellane, at the New York
home of her brother, George J. Gould,
March 4, 1895, the late Archbishop
Carrigan officiating. Miss Gould's
dowry was understood to have been
$1S ,000,0 and it was further stated
that her income was 100000 a year.
Immediately after the marriage the
couple left the United States for
France, where the extravagant man
ner in which they lived attracted
considerable attention. About FIVE
years after the marriage the Count
and Countess de Castellane were re
ported to be financially embarrassed
it being alleged that the count had
already spent $7,000,000 Of his wife's
money. An adjustment of the affairs
of the count and countess became
necessary and considerable litigation
followed, with the result that the
Gould family intervened and the in
come of the countess was cut down
to 100000.
