Paris, Feb. 14.—Count Boni Castel lano had a long conference yesterday with tie lawyers of the Countess,-his wife. This was one of several meet ings at which the two parties -con cerned have carefully gone over the financial features of the case, with the view of determining the exact form of the future procedure and ultimate decree. In the meantime, the Countess’s hill of complaint is being prepared,-but is-not yet been -fliedruir tb * ‘ 111 vlfinohit' ’ ilnnrt’ tli'Ji nnndlnrr ipareu,, nut t-the-4!bfor will depend upon the pending confer ences over financial affairs. If these are Satisfactorily adjusted the Coun tess’s bill of complaint is likely to be materially modified so as to contain only incompatibility or other grounds within the Btatute, but avoiding alle gations of a scandalous nature. However, the conferences are not for the purpose of reconciliation, as all concerned, including the Count pnd CountefiB and theirljLyyerB, appear to recognize the futility of any further attempt to reunite the family. The present indications, therefore, are that after the parties reach a financial understanding the bill will be modified and a dgcree entered by mutual con sent^ This decree probably will be for a separation, as the French law permits such a decree being extended to a complete divorce alter three yeats. Thus far, however, the Coun tess has. not decided whether the bill shall ask for a complete annulment of her marriage. Her friends are rather inclined to restrict the decree to a separation, as this would prevent the re-marriage of either party within three years, thus putting an end to the rumor that the Countess intends to marry again, which her friends characterize as absurd. Until the bill is finally framed and filed, the courts will not formally possess the docu ment explicitly setting forth the grounds of the action. The .preliminary plea did not enter into the merits of the case, but was a formality under the French law whereby the wife must ask the court’s permission to begin action against her husband. In order to sustain this plea the Countess presented papers establish ing a prima facie right to begin an action against her husband. These prima facie papers did not specify the names of the co-respondents but re cited incidents in which the Count is alleged to be implicated. The present negotiations tend to further eliminate these names from appearing during the official proceedings. As a result of the Countess’s prima facie showing, the court has awarded her the temporary care of her chil dren and a separate domicile at the Castellane mansion on the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne. The effect of this interlocutory or der is to exclude the Count from the mansion, as the law considers It to be incompatible for the two separate domiciles to exist under the same roof. The Countess remains there with her children, and she expects to l i fjE m By Georgia Officials in Effort to Exterminate Texas . Fever in This State. Special to The Herald.
