CasteIIane Wants the Blood Of
a P|ebeian Contractor.
MAY HAVE TO PURCHASE TITLE.
FIsy Husband Of Anna Gould VIII Bs CON-
PEELED TO Raise Opponents Social Sti-
tIun Before Hs Can Get Satisfaction.

Paris, Aug. 27.-Whether or not Count
Boni de Casteilane will feel IL incumbent
upon him to fight another duel to avenge
the insult to his honor to which he was
subjected on Friday In the presence OF
himself and many guests will be decided
later on.
AS the fnsulter was a Paris contractor
of low and plebeian lineage. Boni de Cas-
tellane cannot night him at present
But II has been rumored he will make
an attempt TO secure for the contractor
a cheap title from Italy.
Having thus raised him to the level of
the defunot French peerage. he will chal-
lense him to a deadly and horrible duel,
and thus avenge his honor
The little count with the humorous
temper will no doubt challenge the con-
tractor. and then, according to the code.
the contractor will have the choice of
weapons.
MANNER OF THE AFFRoNr.
The insult came about In this manner:
For some days the forced sale of the
counts chateau, Du Marais, has been
extensively advertised about the country
surrounding the chateau, and 1t was
thought on Thursday that Friday would
see the AFFAIR finished up.
But in some manner best known TO
himself the count has succeeded In rails
ing sufficient money 10 defray the claims
Of the creditors, and the sale has been
called of. There were several creditors
who insisted on being paid. and as they
were not In the majority the foreclosure
was abandoned.
On Friday, however, burly individu-
al arrived at Dourday and called loudly
for a conveyance to take him to the Cas-
teliane villa. He took all the neighbor-
hood into his confidence, and said he was
going to get his money or create large
portion of real difficulty.
TOLD HIS ADVENTURES.
Later on he returned to the station.
and, waving D. check over his head, fnti-
mated that he had succeeded In getting
| HIS money at last, and described the
manner in which he had accomplished
this remarkable deed. He said:
when arrived at Du Marais, on
which last summer / had done great
amounts OF work costing several hundred
thousand francs, / was refused admit
tance. would not be denied, and pushed
my way past them.
II managed to force my way into the
drawing room of the chateau. where 1
found the count and the countess enter
tanning about twenty aristocratic friends.
They seemed Mortified when i de-
manded money. and wanted to have me
put out but would have none of 1t. and
reiterated my demand for money. Other
wise, I said would tear the place down
about their ears and get my money back
that way.
They finally gave me the check. You
see, IL In on n Paris bank, and as the
countess signed II 1 think I will at last
get my money"
He was cheered by the crowd. and sew
eral others to whom the count owed
money said they would take the same
measures IL settlement was not forth
coming at once.

Company Claims Delay Was on Penn.
sy|vania Road, and Before Peach
Train Reached Harlem River.

Because what Is known as the peach
train" was several hours late this morn
ing claims for damages aggregating about
1920 will be presented to the Consolidated
TO pay, whether II is at fault or not.
The peach train. as II is known. Is due
in Providence at 3 o'clock In the morning.
1t is part OF long freight tram. of which
six or more cars are filled with baskets OF
peaches from the Delaware region.
These peaches are consigned TO the
wholesale fruit dealers here, SUCH as j.
II. Preston & Co.. Eddy Bros, a. N.
Cleveland & Co. etc.
These firms are located on Dyer street.
which is known as fruit street. same
as Canal street Is called produce street
There are other wholesale dealers, OF
course. but those on Dyer street are
generally recognized as the leaders.
SALES MADE EARLY.
The custom is every morning for re-
tailers. hucksters and others TO congre-
gate on Dyer street about o'clock and
purchase. either at auction or otherwise,
what peaches are required TO supply their
customers
Most of those who buy from the whole
sslers do not carry a straight line OF
peaches. but also sell potatoes and vege-
tables ana fruits OF al KINDS ana nave
customers whose needs must be supplied
within certain hours daily.
Consequently, II they cannot get their
peaches on time they must go away wiln-
out them and when the housewife asks
for peaches they have to make the ex-
cuse that "the train didn't arrive this
morning, madam" eto,
MUST BE SOLD AT LOSS.
Peaches are perishable goods and can
not be kept over I'm such weather as this.
So. when the peach train is as late as II
was this morning the fruit must be sold
to such people as come along late at a
great discount, or they become a total
loss.
This morning the peach train. for the
first time this season. was over four
hours late. arriving here at 7:ls o'clock.
With the delay attendant .Dpon delivery
from the train IL was almost 10 am.

LOSS $50 PER CAR.
There were six carloads of $50 baskets
per car and one dealer claims a loss OF

$50 per car.
This dealer, being about the largest in
the city, and the only one TO do auction
business In the morning. felt the delay
very keenly. They were Obliged to let the
peaches 60 for almost nothing. rather
than keep them to rot
Inquiry at the freight agents office
brought out the fact that the unusual de-
lay OF the freight train that brought the
peaches to town was due to the Penn

solidated, The train arrived at Harlem

Fruit dealers here say that makes no
difference. They are satisfied that there

bad

TIRED OF MAKING EXCUSES.
But. whoever is at fault. claims for
damages have been, or will be. put In
against the Consolidated. for the dealers

pie. 1T makes no difference where the
goods come from. even IL from beyond

be hustled along.

land. IT should say II did. Anywhere

The result OF the peach trains delay,
today, means that peaches will be scarce
