Anna's Jealousy. She laid a trap for
Boni and asked the count 10 cali. 10
which request he aeeeded.
The countess learned Of this visit
paid by her husband to the woman.
and there was a still more violent scene
as the result OF the broken promise
than that in which the countess first
accused her husband
The countess at once pat In effect
her threat Of applying Tor a separation.
She left her husband and their home
and went 10 the Hotel Bristol. where
she took apartments for. the purpose of
establishing her legal residence there.
she then consulted with her friends.
asking their advice a. TO the best
course for her to pursue.
Count BOni, rather than have his wife
remain at the hotel. left their resi-
denee IN the Avenue Bois de Bologne
and returned to his. circumscription OF
de Castellane in southern France, which
ne represents in the chamber OF depu-
ties. in order to avoid unnecessary scan
dal, thus allowing Countess Anna to re-
turn 70 their residence. She is now Iiv-
ing there with her children.
First Wanted Divorce.
Smarting under the effect OF her part
ing with her husband and angered by
nis conduct in breaking his promise TO
refrain from seeing the woman she OBJ
jected TO. Countess Anna at first thought
of applying for a full divorce Her
friends, however. cOmbatted this idea az
being rash. They pointed out thai Sc
curing legal separation from the Count
would protect her and head of snv
claim the count might wish TO set up
against her while allowing her to retain
her title and position. The countess
finally agreed TO this course Which she
had intended TO pursue before the re-
cent events led TO the rupture between
IN parts.
Countess de Castellane's conduct
throughout the entire affair is stated TO
have been above reproach. Count Boni
would have no case If he should at
tempt to institute counter proceedings
against his wife It is believed he win
assume the gentlemanly attitude and
allow the proceedings against him to 20
on, but that he viii try 10 obtain an
income from his wife.
While the facts as to the rupture be-
tween the count and the countess are
well known in upper circles and IN the
American colony and among the French
aristocracy. an attempt has been made
to suppress them at the Casteilane resi-

There is no question of wages. II is
a question OF the right To conduct ones

PARIS. Feb. 9-CounteSs Anna Gould
dc Castellane, the American wife Of

the count.
The countess remains at their resi-
dence in the Avenue Boise de Boulogne

in the country
Countess Left Mansion.
The countess left the Castenane man
sion precipitately last week. and for
five days her Whereabouts were un-
known TO her husband or any member
Of his family
The facts seem to be that the former
Miss Gould left the mansion after
scene with Count Boni, when she in
dIznantIy accused him. She left with
only a handbag and was accompanied
by maid
Afaitra Cruppi, the celebrated advo-
cate. has instituted proceedings on the

Lawyer Begins Action.
The Marquis de CasteIlane. TIE father
of Count Boni, is very fond OF his
American daughter-in-law and is doing
all he can TO effect a reconciliation. but
the best belief is that this is i1npos-
sible.
The trouble between the count and
the countess. which has been brewing
for sevral years. came to a head this
week.
The countess learned that Count Bo-
nj was paying attentions 10 a noted So
ciety woman who is married. The
countess accused Boni OF paying such
attentions and created violent scene.
She declared that she had often for
given the count for misdeeds, but that
this time she would demand a legal
separation Immediately. unless he broke
with the woman.
The count at first tried 10 persuade
his wife that she was simply absurily
Jealous, but failed in this. Then seeing
that Countess Anna was in deadly ear
nest, rather than imperil his claim to

nounce his acquaintance with the

ACT Of GOD" NOT
EXCUSAbLE CLAUSE
Railroads Must Protect

C0MPTR0LLER'S DECISION
War Department Holds Southern Pa

aged in Shipment.
COMPTROLLER'S DECISION.

Railroads must exercise all due dill
gence in taking care OF and protecting
goods injured by act OF God in order
10 take advantage OF that clause in their
freight contracts.
A decision TO this effect was rendered
by r. J. Trace we'll. Comptroller of the
Treasury, today. The opinion IL ques-
tion was handed down as the result of
a request from the Secretary Of War,
upon the following facts,
On May L. 1888. the War Department
shipped consignment OF books 70 the
General Service and Stan College. az
Fort I.savenworth. Kan. The books
went over the Baltimore and Ohio 10
Kansas City, Nc. when they were
transferred 10 the Missouri Pacific.
Some time between Nay 30 and June 5.
1888. the car in which the books were
stored was caught in big food which
ragged for several days at Kansas city.
Car Almost Submerged.
The car was almost submerged. on
July 10 Jhe books arrived at Fort
Leayenworth, but We're not delivered 10
the officers until Augrst 8 When the
boxes We're opened, two months later.
The books were little more than a mass
u AstAtA4 AtAtNAA AfuAbt4 itC tREG was
estimated by the officials at Fort
I.eavenworth at $l,0o.
The Missouri Pacific sent in It's bill for
81, ,252.H, and the quarteTmaster general
promptly deducted 1000 TO cover the
loss of the books. The railroad objected
declaring that under the general and
recognized ,Nm II was not responsi-
bic for an ''acI OF Gcd."
Comptroller Trev. well declares that
the railroad is nci entitled TO exemption
from liability in thls case on the ground
that IL vas the duty of the company 10
unpaCk the goods. dry ard clean them
before sending the consignment 10 It's
destination. He says:
Carrier Held Liable.
"In this case the claimant company
held the goods for more than sixty DAYS
and made no effort so far as the papers
show 10 examine the goods or prevent
further injury after the flood had sub
sided. and there is no evidence in the
case TO show but that the goods were
injured by that neglect. and for that
neglect unquestiOnabl the carrier is
liable for all damages which occurred
after a time in which they could have
made an effort TO save the books from
further injury.
For the reasons above set forth I
am of the opinion that the Quarter
masters Department is not authorized
TO pay the claim Of the company with
out Withholding an amount sufficient to
cover the loss of the damaged goods
