THE CASE DISMISSED.
Captain PowIett Fails 10 Prove That
COnstantint challenged Him.


Bernedetto Constantine, Gustav Broche
and @. Ross Peyton were called for trial be-
foro the Police Court this afternoon. Con-
stantini was charged under the statutes
with sending challenge to Captain James
A. Powlett, and the other defendants were
charged with conveying the challenge
Captain Powlett was the first witness
He said his first misunderstanding with
Mr.. Constantine was about three weeks
ago. He said ho received challenge from
Mr.. Constantini.
Where is ~ inquired the Court.
II didn't accept it," said the witness.
Where is the written challenger" con-
tipued the Court.
II haven't got it," was the reply.
Continuing he said that about three
weeks ago he came down stairs at his hotel
the Greason House. The bar tender called
his attention to note from Coustantini.
What CoDstantini?" inquired the Court
81 think IL was B. Constantine" replied
the witness.
He said that he read the paper aud
threw 1t down ON the counter, aud has not
seen 1t since.
Mr.. d. f. Cahill, who appeared for the
accused, objected to the witness stating the
contents of the paper unless the paper was
produced
down because he thought some one in the
house was playing joke on him. He was
allowed TO state the contents Of the note as
near as he could remember 1t. 1t said that
he bad grossly insulted Constantini the
night before, and would have to meet him
and mako reparation, or Constantine would
brand him as coward.
"Meet him." said the Court, "what for
to have a conference?"
81 understood 1t to be challenge to
fight, said the witness.
Can you say that there was anything
said about duel in the paper?" said the
Court.
II don't think there was was the reply.
"As l understand the code.' said the cap
tain, lit is not necessary to say anything
about duel, but to meet and choose your
weapons
Mr.. Cahill read note which he said was
copy of the original. 1t could not be
construed to be challenge, he claimed.
Mr.. Cahill asked the witness where he
got his title captain from. The witness
replied that he had beon a captain for
twenty eight years.
where 2" inquired the lawyer.
"In the italian, Egyptian, Argentine,
Brazilian and Mexican armies" was the
reply. He denied that the trouble grew
out of a conversation about his invention
an automatic gun.
Mr.. Cahill asked the witness if he was
drunk the night of the difficulty lie re-
piled that he had been drinking, and said
he could not remember using insulting
terms to Mr.. Constantine.
On cross examination he said that he
could not remember that Peyton told him
the second note was challenge.
The Court dismissed the case on the state
ment of the complainant.

A VIGOROUS FIGHT.
The Efforts of the II. d. q. Railroad
10 Reach New York city.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
is making most vigorous fight against the
occupancy by the b. & o. Railroad of any
of the streets of lower Philadelphia, COM
monty called "the Neck" Appearances now
are that the fight will be as lively outside
courts and councils as IL now Is within.
Eight bundled laborers were put to work
yesterday grading and preparing a roadbed
for the b. & o. across the Meek Another
gang of workmen, commanded by con-
stIuction bosses of the Pennsylvauia Rail-
road, were working with mightsand main
also at various points throwing up high
embankments and laying extra tracks.
At one point an embankment twelve feet
high has been built across the Baltimore q
Ohio grades. In the meantime the new com
papy makes rapid progress. The work by both
companies Is being rapidly pushed, and or
ders have been issued by the Baltimore e.
Ohio to have the trackbed from river to
river and up along the Schuylkill finished
and ready for the rails by September /.
The Philadelphia Board of City Trusts
yesterday gave tho Baltimore & Ohio virtu-
ally an open door, so far as the passage
through the property under its control is
concerned by referring the matter to com
mittee favorable to the b. & o. Railroad. A
vigorous opposition was made:by Mr.. Will
lam j.. Elkins, who said that the 3. & o.
Railroad Company had refused to make
differental rates on coal in favor of the
Grard trustees as other companies had
done. 1t now remains only for the b. & o.
Railroad to obtain the right to go up the
east bank of the Schuylkill. Consent must
be obtained from councils and this the
Pennsylvania Railroad is energetically
fighting 1t is proposed to locate the Phil
adelphia station of the new road near
Chestnut street. Junction will he made
with the Reading Railroad running to
New York, and new through line will

A Lawyer Indignant.

Michael Liston was put on trial before
Judge Smell this morning for keeping his
bar open on Sunday. Mr.. Daniel l.. Ca
hill appeared for the accused. Policeman
Rhodes was the first witness. Mr.. Cahill
while cross. examining the witness, referred
TO the Colored witnesses employed by the
officer as "pimps."
"You are out of order, Mr.. Cahill,' said
the Court. "You cannot speak OF wit
nesses in such terms In court"
II called them pimps'," said the lawyer,
"and am responsible for it,"
And l call you TO order" said His
Honor.
Did you send those things in the semb-
lance of men into Mr.. Liston's place p said
Mr.. Cahill, addressing the witness.
II did," replied the officer.
