A Motion TO Dismiss the Complaint Argued,
and Decision Reserved.

ALBANY. Oct 12.-In the Supreme Court
New York against Thomas c. Fields, imple
with others, which has occupied a place on the
calendars tor the past two years. came up for a
second trial The case is substantially the same
as the one before tried under the same title, In
which Judgment was recovered against the de-
PENDANTS, In the sum Of $4,000 and upward,
for the misappropriation Of certain moneys be-
longing to the city OF New YORK. The plaintiffs
were represented by Charles O'Conor and
Wheeler II. Peckham. william A. Beach ap-
peured for the defendant
The testimony used on a former trial was by
consent admitted In this, but before going into
II, motion was made by Mr.. WIN. A. Beacn to
TALLY that the case had already been once de-
cided by the Court OF Appeals, and that as the
interest in and to the moneys alleged To have
been mlsappropriated was in the city, an action
IN the name Of the people Of the state could not
be on this molten extended. Arguments were
made by Messrs. Charles q COnor, VIM. A. Beach,
and Wheeler III. Peckham, at the conclusion OF
which Judge WestbroOk took the papers and
reserved his decision, II being mutually agreed
that whatever deci ion he might arrive at would
be entered as OF TODAY, and an exception noted
on the part Of the side against whom the deci-
sion should be made.
At the conclusion OF the argument Of Mr..
Beach. Mr.. Richard O'Gorman, late Corporation
said he had been subpenaed "a witness, and
had expected to testify n. the case. In view OF
the course II had taken, however, he would be
denied the privilege Of saying what he desired
on the witness stand, and he would ask IN Q
indulgence OF the Court while he Tefuted the
allegations OF fraud and COLLISION In tho mis-
appropriation OF the money on the part OF the
several law officers OF the city.

THE CODE or HONOR.
Young New Workers. Quarreiiins over Cards
In their Club In Paris.


The duel in Paris between the two Y younR
Americans, Riggs and Paine, which from the
date OF the despatch announcing It would seem
to have been fought on Sunday last, grew out OF
a quarrel commenced about six months ago.
The combatapts are the sons Of Elisha higRs and
william II. Paine, both dwelling in Now York,
though Mr.. Paine Ia here merely on visit, bis
home being In Paris. Very few Of the details
have reached the friends OF either OF the young
duellists on this side OF the Atlantic, but 1t Is
said that Mr. Paine Joined a club in Paris called
the Washington Of which most Of the mem
bers are Americans, MIR. Riggs being President:
and that into card playing, one Of the favorito
pastimes Of the club, Mr.. Paine entered with q
Eest.
and the quarrel between Riggs and Paine Is
said to.have arisen from complaint mnde py .he
with promptitude. Al all events, either for this
reason or some other. few months aRo when Mr:
| Paine one evening took his accustomed seat N
| the card table Mr. Riggs arose and said ne would
not play with him. Deeply mortified a. Paine
but at once relinquished his seat and withdrew
| from the room, leaving Mr.. Riggs for the time
| being In undisputed possession OF tho neld. =.
| But late that night, after the card party bad
| broken up, and while the members OF tue CLUB
we're descepdlns the STAIR Paine stood SeIGw bIw
| furiously and struck him In the face. Before
many blows had been exchanged, however. the
| other members OF the club interfered and sep
| arated them. but Riggs was not Inclined TO
| allow the dispute TO rest. He formally prefer
| red charges against his assailant, an tnvestga-
tlon followed, aud Paine was expelled from the
| club.
| There seems to have been no other personal
difficulty between the two Americans until last
Thursday evening when they met in the Rem
aissance Theatre, and after some aitercato or
astonisbed the spectators by openly engaging "
fight. Several blows were struck on both stde'
before the police put stop to the combat.
| What followed has not been sscertained bu
| one Of the combatants challenged the other. II
| Ia not easy TO understand why swords were th'
weapons selected, unless II was that neithe
duellists knew anything whatever OF their use
| and the combat was. therefore, more fairy con
Quoted than had pist OILS been employed on,
being a dead shot and the other no shot AZ all
They III ct at Vesinet, near PARIS, and fought, a
far as can be ascertained, without interruption
until Paine received q wound on his sword arm
that forced him to abandon the encounter
The injury does not seem to have been muc

NEW FREIGHT RAILROAD.
How New York may Maintain her CONNER
ctal Supremacy.

ciaI Supremacy.
The Committee on Railroad Transporta-
tion of the Cboap transportation Association
reported last evening in favor Of freight rail-
road to the West. The committee say that tho
trade and manufacturing interests Of New York
are suffering from q depression Of business,
while IN Baltimore and Philadelphia trade pros
poets are much moro favorable. This the report
attributes to the fact that the railroads over
which the commerce OF these ports nows
are run In the interests of that com
merce that their surplus earnings are devoted
to extending their lines; that rates OF freight
are red nc ed and that special rates are given to
the cost OF TRANSPORTATION should decrease Us
the volume of business increases, and that
therefore, New York, whose volume OF business
Is heavier than that OF any otner city s entitled
to lower rates. But the Central and Ene roads
had been IN anaged, not as great public highways
for the benefit Of the people, but as though the
public had been made and designed solely for
their Interest. the whole carving trade of TINS
city saws the report, has fallen into the hands
OF a few men who have no interest In the devel-
opment of commerce, ana who, FEELING secure
in their control OF the highways, charge what
tolls they please.
The report recommends the building Of a
double track freight railroad tor ready money.
The mixture OF freight and passenger business
initiates against the former because passenger
trains having the right OF wav, freight trains
must lay by much Of their time. Hence the re-
port recommends the building OF a road solely
for freight TN the road propose ten miles an
hour could be made, while on the roads now
running i've miles an hour Is a good average
The cost Of the road, says the report, would be
about $iO,OOOO0, a sum which the real estate
and commetcigl interests OF New ork mlsh'
| contribute. Indeed, they lose more than ina
sum every year in reduced rents for real estate
| and current exorbitant prices for transportation
