GOULDS REPUDIATE CASIELLASE'S DEBTS Contend the Countess by, Ante-K Nuptial Pact Is Not Uable. ANSWER IN BRIC-A-BRAC SUIT Wife' Indorsement of Drafts Alleged to be Not Bindings-Fraud and Notv Jurisdiction Charged. 4 Ann Gould, Coontess ds Castellane, 1 oot. according to the contention of Georg J. Gould, responsible for the debts of her husband, and even If she did Indorse drafts accepted by him, the Indorsement was fraudulently obtained.

This argument Is made by Mr. Gould, as one of the trustees tinder the will of Jay Gould, In answer to the proceeding! brought by Anton Dltt-mar, as assignee of claim held Asber a bric-a-brac dealer of London- This answer was filed la the Supreme Court yesterday by Charles Gardiner and Col E. James, who represent the trustees of the estate of Jay Gould. Mr. Dlttmar.

as assignee of Mr. Wert-helmer, a few weeks ago obtained an Injunction in the Supreme Court, under which the trustees of the will were prohibited from paying any of the Income of the trust fund to the Countess de Castellans until the courts should determine the rights of the assignee of the Werthelmer claims to $377,295.20, said to be due on drafts given for large quantities of bric-a-brac. The Injunction was, however, modified so as to allow the Countess an Income of a year. George J. Gould was the only trustee who filed an answer to the complaint in the action.

After denying that be Is a resident or the State of New York. Mr. Gould goes Into details as to why the trustees should not recognize the claims against the Count and Countess de the principal contentions being as follows: The defendants allege that by an ante-nuptial agreement entered Into between the Count and Cvuntesa de Castellan It was therein agreed that their marriage should be under the status known la France as a separation of property and property rights. Then defendants further allege that, under and by virtue of the laws of the Republic of France, where the drafts and acceptances set forth In the complaint are made payable, the acceptance of a draft by a married woman, wbo baa a separation of property, for her husband does not oonntltute a Joint and several liability, and ald liability Is not regulated by the commercial law of France, but by the civil lew; that under and by virtue of the civil law of France such an acceptance by a married woman under a contract for separate property Jointly with her hue bond constitutes only a simple promise, and aa eut-h has no binding effect, and constitutes So charge upon her separate estate. It la further alleged that the husband has no power to give his wife valid authority to accept such drafts.

As to the accepting of the various drafts-by the Countess de Castellane, the answer By the law of the Republic of France, where said drafts were accepted and payable, and also by the terma of a certain ante-nupUal agreement between them, the said wife or ber estate 1 not liable for the debts of her said husband, and he haa no power to charge her separate aetata with said Indebtedness; that her alleged acceptances of said draft were wholly without consideration, and were procured by fraud, and were land are fraudulent and void, as to her and her separate estate, and her interest in the Income from the said trust fund In the bands of the trustees is not indebted to ths said Ashor Werthcimer or his said assignee. The answer also asserts that Mr. "Werthelmer Induced the Count de Castellane to purchase the bric-a-brac at an exorbitant price "by false and fraudulent representations, knowingly made by hlrn, as to. the character, antiquity, maker, cost, and value of the articles, with the intent to cheat and defraud the purchaser." It Is further assorted that Ur. Werthelmer first assigned the drafts to Julius Cohen bankers of London, and that Mr.

Dittmar has acquired no right to As a further de- fen, it is asserted that Mr. Werthelmer brought an action before the Tribunal of the beine, at Piu-ts, to recover the alleged debt, and the action is still undetermined, and that at the same time the Count and Countess de Castellane had begun action in the same court to have the sale of the bric-a-brac aa well aa the drafts given set side on the ground of the cheats and frauds hereinabove set forth. From all this it is contended that the Supreme Court of this State has no Jurisdiction over the debts of the Count anS Countess de Castellane. and that it has no right to determine what income shall be allowed to her out of her father's estate. It Is also stated that there are other persons, who are.

or claim to be, creditors at large of Anna Gould. Countess de Castellane. similarly situated with the plaintiff, who claims to be such a creditor." After presenting this answer, counsel for the trustees asked Justice Blanchard for an adjournment of the argument to make permanent the Injunction restraining the trustees from paying the 'Countess more than $-J50. a year out -of her Income of Smi mi. Samuel Untermyer of counsel for the plaintiffs agreed to the adjournment until Thursday morning, providing the stipulation aa to the a year should stand until then.

Neither the Count nor Countess has ap4 peered by attorneys of record in the case, but it is understood that their affidavits as to the claim against them are on the way sere, ana win do usea in tne action. MR. CLEVELAND ON POLITICS. Says Democratic Party Haa Abandoned Old Doctrines and 'Wandered After Strange Gods. ATLANTA, Dec.

17. The Atlanta Journal this afternoon published an interview with x-Prealdent Cleveland obtained by a staff correspondent at Princeton, N. J. Mr Cleveland is quoted as "In my opinion the great need of the Xemocratic Party is a return to first prin ciples. The Democratic Party has not been fatally disorganised, but It sadly needs re habilitation on purely Democratio lines.

What is the matter with the party i It has In my humble judgment simply wan drred oft after strange gods. A large mass of Democratic voters saw 'this before the last They remained quiet, but when the time came to vote they said. 'This Is not Democracy, and refused to Bunnort it. "As I see it. it is the duty of Democrats everywnere to aid in tne rehabilitation of the party.

There are some signs of an in- ststence upon the necessity. of a return to Democratio doctrines in the South, but tney are not so general as i would like to see. "With a sincere return to its old-time doctrine, the old-time victories of the Dem ocratic Party will certainly be won." Verona Club ln Politics.

At the afternoon session E. D. Kenna, First Vice President and General M.n nil of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa. Ft system, spoke.

He said in part; When the emDlover of arrest numhors engaged in a business affecting the public tn ina pmces rnaae vacant oy striKers. the employer will win the contest, and where he cannot do so, the employees will win.

Manufacturers In Philadelphia Dlscuas the Advantages and Disadvantage of the Tariff. PHILADELPHIA, Dec 17. The Industrial Commission began a special session at the Manufacturers Club here to-day, and representatives of all the important Indus-' tries in Pennsylvania have been invited to appear. The first witness was J. Gordon Grey.

Secretary of the Manufacturers' Club and head of the firm of Queen manufacturers of optical goods. Mr. Grey asserted that, despite the prosperity of the country, manufacturers had not participated In It to any extent. He gave as a reason for this the increased price of raw material, which, he said, prevented a proportionate increase in profit with the Increase of business. Raw material costs more and wages are higher, he said, but the manufacturers are unable to se cure relatively higher prices for the finished article.

Regarding; export trade. Mr. Grey said business with South America was less than it should be. This was due. he said, partly to defective shipping facilities from this port, and partly to the lack of organised effort to get the trade.

i Concerning the manufacturer of optical instruments. Mr. Grey said It was almost Impossible to secure American skilled labor for this purpose. Foreign workmen are employed, and they instruct children. At the Zeiss factory at Jena.

Switzerland, skilled workmen are paid from $4 to $8 a week, while In this country they receive from $13 to $21 a week. Despite this difference in the'waxe scale. Grey said, the foreisrn-madet instruments are no cheaper than those made in this country. The. clause in the Tariff bill permitting the importation of these Instruments free of duty when they are consigned to educational institutions has been a great disadvantage to the manufacturer, and its repeal would vastly benefit the American trade.

At the afternoon session Theodore Jus-'' tlce, an extensive wool manufacturer of this city, was heard. He stated that the United States supply of wool is steadily Increasing under a protective tariff, while there has been a decrease In the wool crops of the Argentine Republic, Cape ef Good Hope, and Australasia, all free trade countries. During the period from 1S73 to 1884 the supply increased in these countries from 40 to per cent. In the United States there was a tariff of 12H cents a pound on wool at that time, and the supply in this country increased 10U per cent. This was evidence.

Mr. Justice said, that with an adequate undisturbed protective tariff this country could soon supply the wants of the population. From July 189! to July, 1900. Mr. Justice continued, the Americsn woo'en mills had more work than ever before, emploved more hands, and paid better wages.

The price of clothing is higher now than durina the free trade period, there being an increase of 73 -cents a pound in scoured wool. THIS country Is importing less wool than ever, Mr. Justice said, and with the decrease in Imports there Is, an Increase In American wool manufacture and in American employment, SPAIN'S ROYAL BETROTHAL.

The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on him by Harvard University in 185ft.

An important controversy In which Dr Bartol took a leadinsr nart waa that r.t something like a dozen years ago, when the proposition was made by New York Unitarians, and seconded In other nrt nt tho country, that the Unitarians formally adopt r-w tiu irguiar iwm oi service. Ur. Bartol joined with many others in opposing any step which might In the least trammel freedom of thought and action among liberal Christians, and. in response to an invitation, about seventy of the principal clergymen and laity of the Unitarian denomination met at his house to protest against such action. This gathering was the foundation of the famous Radical Club, now the nemnui eireei liuo.

wnicn has such a brilliant history, and which during the first part of Its existence met alternately at Dr. Bartol's and the Rev. John T. Sargent's, the two houses being only two doors from each other. Among- his works are Church and Con gregation." Radical Problems." The Rising Faith," Principles and Portraits," Ac.

He had one child, Elizabeth H. Bartol, who has become well known as a painter. Dr. Bartol had lived during most of his life on Chestnut Street, in one of the quaintest and oldest houses of the West End. Col.
