B0PPA WANTS TO FIGHT.
Anxious to Pierce the Body of Prince
Henri.

Paris, Aug. Lieutenant Boppa,
the only surviving officer of the Four
teenth battalion of General Delbar-
midas brigade of the unfortunate
Italian expedition against Abyssinia,
has challenged Prince Henri, in conse-
quence of his structures upon the con-
duct of Italian soldiers in Africa.
This is the third challenge received
by the prince for the same cause. Gen
eral Abortion and Lieutenant Pima have
precedence over Lieutenant Boppa in
the matter.
General Delbar1hida was one of the
italian officers killed in the battles Of
Adowa, when some 10000 Italian troops
under General Barata were killed. Cen
Albertone also commanded a brigade
in that enga cement which was fought
in the latter part 0flsSApril, 1896, and
caused so much bitter feeling through
out, that for time it was believed the
throne was in danger. Ii is further
stated that King Humbert of Italy has
entrusted his eldest nephew, Prince
Filiberso, Duke Of Aosta and husband
of the Princess Helene of Orleans,
daughter of the late Count of Paris,
with a mission to the Orleans family,
the object being to prevent the duel be-
tween Prince Henri of Orleans and
General AlbertOne.

Yet Harry Silberberg Has Had a
Great Career.

Little Rock. Ark, Aug Harry
Silberberg, alias John W. Drayton, of
Little Rock, who, according TO state
department advices from Washington
has just been released from a German
prison through the efforts OF the Amer
lean consul at Freiberg, and escorted
under guard out of Germany, is known
here. According to a story printed
here, Silberberg has had remarkable
career. He is % years old and was
born in Memphis, Tenn. In his youth
ne moved to Fort Smith, Ark. Being
of a restless disposition, he moved from
Arkansas; arriving at mis- majority, he
went 10 Morocco. There he was ar
rested, in connection with a bank
swindle by a telegraph operator and a
bogus telegram. His mother got him
out of the scrape. Silberberg was next
heard of at Rochester, n. Y. He in
gratiated himself into the best society
in that city and married into a wealthy
family. He took his bride to San Fran
cisco and had not been there long be-
fore, it is alleged, he committed a num-
Der of clever forgeries. He did not ap-
pear and had not been heard of here
until ne turned up in a German prison.

VEHICLE TAX VOID.
Bicycle Owners Win Out In the
Windy City.

Chicago, Aug. Judge Tuley today
decided the new city ordinance estab-
fishing a vehicle tax to be void. The
ordinance permitted the city TO collect
81 a year license from each bicycle
owner and for other vehicles proper
tionately.
The ordinace was passed for the pur-
pose Of raising a permanent street re-
pairing fund. The new law aroused
much opposition, especially among the
wheelmen. An injunction suit was
brought against the city and the en-
joining bill was sustained in Judge
Tuley's decision.
The court held that the city had no
right to license bicycles, but only an
occupat ton, and could not impose a
license upon specific property when not
used in business or in an occupation.
Counsel for the city took an appeal
and the case will be heard in higher
courts

ORIGINAL PACKAGE DEFINED.
Feature of the Dispensary
Law Settled.

Charleston, S. c., Aug. Judge
Simonton of the United States court
filed his decision today defining an
original package and thereby settling
a disputed feature of the dispensary
law.
The court holds that the original
package is the form in which the LIQUOR
is delivered to the initial carrier at the
point of shipment. If a box of LIQUOR
is imported, the whole box must be
sold and not a single bottle from the
box.
The decision will require all dealers
to import liquor in single packages.

James Mccarthy Says the Police
MaItreated Him.

James Mccarthy, accused Of COM
plicity in the robbery of Cornfeldt's
tailor shop, ATT Wabasha street, was
discharged in the police court yester-
day. The robbery took place on the
night Of Sept. 12 and Mccarthy
claimed at this time to have been in

Of the hotels as a waiter. The man
ager Of the hotel was in court yes
terday with books showing the young
mans story to have been correct, and
Judge Twohy ordered his release.
Mccarthy claims that his arrest was
an outrage and that he was mistreat-
ed by the police while in custody.
He had only been out of the city hos
pital day when arrested, after un-
dergoing a painful operation, and says
he was thrown into a cell at the CEN
trail station and refused permission to
inform his physician, DR.. Hanley, or
his friends OF his predicament. He
says he was hauled about until the
stitches in his leg were torn out and
that when DR.. Hanley finally came to
the station he was not allowed to see
him until the physician had gone to
the residence of Judge Brill and got
ten an order Of the court. When he
tried to tell the police his physical
condition, Mccarthy says Detective
