When Col. Rockwell asked if he should erect a stand for the band to begin the concerts on the first Saturday in May the President replied that he thought it rather early in the season for open-air concerts, and there the matter dropped. It is probable that before a great while the President will request the Secretary of the Navy to order the Marine band to begin the concerts.

Middleton re- connoitered the position of -Riel’s force at Batouche Saturday with a loss of one killed and seven wounded, The guns of the two batteries would have been captured by-a desperate sally of insurgents except for the execution of a gat- tling gun served by the agent of the Connecti- cut manufacturers. The infantry were not en- gaged, and the Canadian force was strongly entrenched Saturday night against surprise. The battie was begun by sharp firing on the steamer Northcote, which passed down stream three miles quite disabled.

AN ITALIAN WATCHMAKER CHARGED WITH CHALLENGING AN EX-ENGLISH SEA CAPTAIN <THE ITALIAN AND HIS TWO FRIENDS AR- RESTED, Benedette Constantint, an Italian, who fs a watchmaker employed in Galt’s jewelry store, and two of his friends, Ross Peyton and Gus- tave Broche, appeared at the Police Court this morning in obedience to warrants served on them yesterday, charging Constantini with sending and Peyton and Broche with bearing a hostile message. The complainant was Capt. James A. Powlett, formerly an English sea cap- tain. Capt. Powlett is the inventor of a pneu- matic gun carriage, to test which an appropri: tion was made by Congress at its last sexsto Powlett, it is said by Constantini’s friends, asked the latter’s opinion of the invention, anc Constantin! criticised it, upon which Powlett used, they say, abusive and insulting language towards Constantin. Constantin thereupon Wrote a note to Powlett, demanding an apology, but the laiter paid no attention to it. Upon Sat urday Constantini wrote Powlett as follows “Two weeks ago to-day I addressed to you an open note concerning an unprovoked and gra- tuitous attack upon me at Greason’s saloon. As you failed to comply with my legitimate re- quest I uphold you as the kingof pusillanimity, a coward of the first waterand everything but agentieman.” This note, itis charged, he en- trusted to Broche, who could not tind Bowlett. Subsequently it was transferred to Peyton, who succeeded in finding Powlettat the Greason house. Powlett, however, refused to receive any message from Constantini. Saturday night Powlett swore out warrants before Justice Mills: charging Constantini with having on the 9th instant “sent or caused to be sent to him, the said James A. Powlett, a person in the District of Col bia,a challenge to fighta duel,” and Peyton and Broche with carrying or ‘from one Constantini and attempting to deliver to him a challenge to fight or engage ina duel.” These warrants having been served upon the accused parties they gave their per- sonal bonds for appearance in court. CAPT. POWLETT'S STATEMENT, Capt. Powlett this morning made the follow- ing statement of the case to Assistant District Attorney Thomas: “On or about the 20th day of April, 1885, in the morning about 10 or 11 o'clock, while ‘stopping at the Greason house. I came downstairs, and Mr. John Greason showed me a note which he said had been left by a Youns boy fourteen oF fifteen years old, for me. read the note, which was addressed to me, and it stated, as near as I can remember, that! ‘having received a gross insult, &e,, [ deman satisfaction, and demand an early response to the note through ty representative,’ and some- thMg about naming time and place. I under- ste it to be a chulles eae hia duel. Itwas signed ‘Constantini.’ read it and threw it down on the counter, and have not seen it since. I thought at the time it was a joke, and that it had not been sent by Constantini, but I aiterwards found out it was a serious matter. I paid no more attention toit then. I went north on business, and was gone tour or five days. I was back in Washington for a week, when Mr, George Greason toid me that Gustave Broche had been around to see me with another chal- Jenge from Constantini., his was in the fore- noon. In the afternoon about 6 or 6 o'clock I heard that he had presented himself three times to deliver this missive, but I was not in, Then Mr. Ross Peyton pre- sented himself to me. He told “me he hada challenge from Mr. Constantini de- manding satisfaction tor certain insults to him. He attempted to show me the challenge, but I Would not receive it. I used some strong language, and told him I did not want any- thing to do wittt him or his crowd. With that Peyton safd iff did notrespond to the challenge that he, as a representative of Constantini, would demand satisfaction himself, With that Mr. George Greason toid him if he did go out he would come there and put him out. I went way and sat down in a chair. Then Broche, mnstantini, and Peyton collected out on thé sidewalk, aud I heard that they had made threats.” OTHER STATEMENTS. Mr. George Greason made a statement to Mr. ‘Thomas corroborating this of Capt. Powlett’s. The note brought: to the house by Peyton Saturday was read by Mr. Greason, and was the one printed above. Frank Y.Commagere made a statement that he heard Powlett tell Peyton that -he did not want any message from Constantini, Powlett told rR eos to go to h— with it. Peyton said no gentleman would refuse a challenge. Pow- lett asked Peyton what business it was of his, and Peyton said he would make {t his business, and insisted on an answer to his mé Fowlett walked off then and Greason put Pey- now Jobn W. Murray, who was at the Greason house Saturday, also made @ statement as to Peyton's visit there. Powlett ridicules the idea of receiving a chal- lenge from Constantint, saying) that he ‘does Bade Se Gah tune a cen jends say the language applied by. him was of the most inguitine description. Constantini aud his friends waited on the street in front of the Police Court this morning for the case to be called. Capt, Powlett sat in the clerk’s oftice, where he was sheltered by the wegis of the law. HELD TO BAIL TO APPEAR NEXT THURSDAY. A SENSATION AT THE JAIL. Langster Attemps to Escape. The condemned murderer, John Langster, who 4s to be hung on Friday for the murder of Officer Fowler, made an attempt to escape from the Jailthis morning. He had been exercising, as usual, within the enclosure set apart for that Purpose, and had behaved himself very well. At about 10 o'clock Mr. Jas. W. Woodward, the officer in charze for the day, was about to pass through the gate in the iron latticework which separates the prisoners’ exercising grounds from the central court. There is an officer at this gate, whom Langster suddenly attacked and overpowered, “He then struck Mr. Woodward twice and forced his way out into the rotunda, Here Langster was quickly secured, however, andhustled back to his cell in short order.

Boynton, correspondent of the Cincinnatt Commercial-Gazette, made the state- ment upon which the published report of foul and filthy water draining into the condutt at Great Falls was based, and he made {t after a visit to the falls, and inspection of the conduit and {ts surroundings. A STAR reporter asked the general to-day about the matter, and he re- piled that the bricf article published conveyed uta faint idea of the real truth, Me sald that & short distance above the Great Falls, and about seventy-five yards above the head of the ‘conduit, a break occurred in the canal some time ago. Instead of repairing it, the canal company set In some timber, erected nd constructed a regular slulce-way, throu all the fith, excrement, ete., ‘Which collects ‘on that entire level pour down Into the river and are carried right down to the very head of the conduit, “He said also that there are numerous dirty stables, foul hog-pens and privies along the canal there,and that all the filth from them are washed through the sluice- way Into the river at the head of the conduit. ‘The overflow from the canal at that point was origiaally constructed below the bead of the conduit, but the Canal company found it more convenient and cheaper to utilize the break for asluiceway, and did so regardless of conse- quences to the health of Washington from. im- pure water. Mr, Tuttle, for years an engineer Of the navy, but now employed upon the water works at Great Fails, called Gen, Boynton # at- tention to the fouling of the water, showed him the extent of the mischief, and spoke of the dangers attendaut upon it, eulth Officer Townshend has gone up to muke an inspection of the place.

In the Criminal Court, Judge MaeArthur, this morning, the district attorney was asked by the Judge as to the number of prisoners in jail awaiting trial. “There are none, your honor,” said Mr. Worthington, “who can be tried now. All excepting those who have gone down within a few days and afew who do not desire 2 trial at present have been tried.” In view of the scarcity of money for the courts he suggested that the court adjourn fora week, and in the meantime be would see what could be done as to money matters. The court said the fund for judicial expenses was nearly exhausted, and perhaps it was best to dismiss the jurors for one week. In the mean- time perhaps ‘arrangements may be made to continue the trials. He discharged the petit Jurors for one week and directed that when the grand jury makes a report to-morrow to respite them also for a week. The following jurors were excused In the Cir- cuit Court (May term): R. H. Willets, 8. T. G. Morvell, Joseph P. Hill, Arthur T. Brice, Aus- tin Hert, F. J. Tibbetts, Dorner Ellis, 0. A. Stevens, Anthony Gaegler, M. P. Rice, Juhu Moran, Martin Griffin, In consequence’ of the lack of funds and the uncertainty whether the cour: can be continued, no action was taken as to filling vacanei oo The New Catholic University. THIS CITY SELECTED AS THE LOCATION AND THE MIDDLETON PLACE PURCHASED, At high mass in all the Catholic churches in this city yesterday announcement was made of the decision of the counell of Catholte pre- lates who met in Baltimore last week for the purpose of selecting a place for the new Catho- lie university, that this city had been chosen. The site know) ay the Middieton estate, located at the head of Lincoln avenue, beginning at the eastern gate of the Soldiers’ Home, has been purchased. It contains sixty-five ‘acres. It jays between the Soldiers’ Home and old Bla- densburg roads. Although the Catholles of other cities offered very large mi y induce- ments towards securing the un! the fact that Washington poss seura, the Congressions and other ad- vaniszes, and is fast becoming a literary and scientific center, caused the prelates to decide in favor of loouting the university at the cap- ital. ‘A board of managers was appointed at the council in Baltimore. Archbishop Gibbons, of Baltimore, was made president of the board, and among the other members were the Right Rev. Mon-eigneur Farley, of New York; Bishop Irelind, of Minnesota, and Dr, Chappelle, pas- tor of St, Matthew's chureh of this elty. Father Chappelie yesterday, in offering his congratula- tions to his congregation, mude a strong appeal for the contribution of at least $50,000 for the endowmentof one ormore faculty chairs, ‘The largest sum so fur received from one person for the university was the contribution of $300,000 from Miss M. G, Caldwell, a young lady ‘of wealth living in New York. Ample funds have been obtained to insure a bes ning. Itis intended by the bishopsof the Cath- olic ohurch in this country to make it a univer- sity m fact as well asin name. The object is to impart the highest and best culture in all the priucipal departments of selene and investiga- tion. It is purposed. to commence with the philosophical, scientifie.and theological depart- ments, the other faculties to be added in the course of time. From this it will be seen that the institution will not interfere with the work of other colleges, which are intended to train boys, and do not go beyond the limits of a seeu- lareducation, ‘The new university will not in- terfere with Georgetown college, as the latter will occupy the position of a training school for the higher place of learning. A CONFERENCE IN EALTIMORE TO-DAY. Father Chappelle and Bishop Ireland, mem- bers of the board of trustees of the proposed new Catholic university, and Mr. Thomas E. Wazgaman, the agent for the sale of the Mid- dleton place, went to Baltimore to per- fect the arrangements in regard to the transfer Of the property and to consult with Archbishop Gibbons in regard to other details. Some objec- tion is ‘aigainst the proposed site on ac- count of its proximity to the cattle yards of the B, and 0, rallroad company. Before makin; uils selection, however, the place Just east of Howard university was’ examined, but it was decided to be too near Glenwood cemetery and the other burying grou. ————— In tHe Discuancs or His Dury.—in the Police Court to-day Assistant District Attorney ‘Thomas called for trial the ease of Ofticer Slack, charged with assault and battery with intent to Kill the old colored JohnH.
