number Of deaths in Vermillion county
in the last forty eight hours, most Of

usual apprehension. While physicians
say many of the deaths were due to the,
warm weather, with it's quick changes
in temperature, It is fact that a ma
jority were due to malarial fever, pneu-
monia, measles and typhoid fever.
Physicians assert most of the sick
mess is due to carelessness. People APP

The Pennsylvania probably has acted
under advice of counsel in this matter,
and has bought less than controlling
interest in these roads, because the mer-
ger, of course, includes the Norfolk &

the Seaboard Air Line, at Newport

As nearly as can be concluded by a
preliminary examination of the official
records, the. admitted holdings of the
Pennsylvania railroad, with the capital
stock and percentage of ownership, is as
tai, $194, 25S, 524; $67 ,67s, 300 Pennsylva-
peake & Ohio, $62,672, 400; Pennsylva-
24.9; Norfolk & Western total, $S7 ,457,-

900. 368 percentage; Northern Central
capitalization $17,779,o00; Pennsylvania
holdings. $941 800; percentage, 51.4.
...& Owns Only One Line. b
From this table it will be seen that
the Pennsylvania owns a controlling in
terest only in the Northern Central
which is the line by which it runs its
short line by harrisburg, Baltimore and
Washington. It ga well-assured fact
nevertheless, that the Pennsylvania did
not invest millions of money in compel
ing lines of railroad merely because il
had money to spare and did not know
what to do with it. The purchase OF
stock in competitive companies was fol
the purpose Of controlling them and fol
no other purpose earth.

gcssips who are in a position to know,
is probably true.
Friends of both are endeavoring to
convince the countess that she is
altogether mistaken in her suspicion
OF the woman on whose account she
has left her husband. These friends
seem to be sincere in saying that, how
ever grayely she may have been
wronged in the other cases, which she
has condoned, in this matter she has
no cause for anger and humiliation.
The suspected woman has been a
frequent guest at the festivities given
by the Castellanes at the Grand Tria-
non, and who has always passed for a
wife who is above reproach. The
friends of this woman find it impos-
sible to believe that the Countess
Boni has proof to the contrary.

when the countess condoned apparent
misconduct on the part of her hus-
band, was the incident on the Castel-
lane yacht. Near a Mediterranean

She is confident that If she gets a

Countess Boni de Castellane, who
was Anna Gould. daughttr OF the late
Jay Gould, has separated from her
husband. says the Paris correspondent
of the New York World. The countess
suddenly left the Grand Trianon, her
magnificent town residence on the
avenue du Bois de Boulogne. by night,
more than a week ago, and went to
the Hotel Bristol. Two days ago she
returned to the Trianon, but that was
only after Count Boni had departed
for the south of France.
The Countess Anna has consulted
Edmond Kelly, a distinguished Ameri-
can lawyer here, and he has associat-
ed with him Maitre Cruppi, celebrat-
ed advocate, who will appear for the
countess in what promises to be one
of the most sensational divorce suits
ever brought in the aristocratic circle
to which the Castellanes belong.
For it is not separation, but divorce,
which the American heiress' friends
believe she will demand of French
justice.
The countess long ago gave a SOL
emn and final warning to her husband,
with whose extravagances in money
matters and whose frivolous entangle.
ments with dancers and singers and
other persons outside her own circle
OF acquaintances she had been pa
tient.
She told him such adventures were
beneath her notice. But. she added,
her friends say, that she would not
endure for an instant any departure
from the most strict conventions
which involved any woman whom she
might be obliged to invite to her own
house. ~
To this, 1t is said, her husband gave
the most solemn promises of agree
ment.
The woman who is blamed for the
apparently final rupture of the Gas.
!tellanes is titled French woman,
who is one of the smartest and most
charming leaders of society in Paris.
She is beautiful and rich in her own
right. She is married to man promi-
inent not only in society, but also in
politics. He also has great fortune.
Indeed, If, as now seems to be prob
courts, it will have .far-reaching con-
sequences in both the social and po-
litical worlds; and what those conse-
quences may be have set the clubs
and salons of Paris astir with excite
ment and exaggerated rumor.
This latest trouble has been brew
ing since the reception of King Car
los. On the day she left her husband,
Countess Boni discovered. or rather
became convinced. that his long
standing social friendship with the
woman already described, covered a
more serious relation.
Perhaps one of the reasons which
led her to suspect this state of af-
fairs is the fact that for a long time
Count Boni has seemed absolutely to
