We would invite tho attention Of city
readers to the communication ol "Flre

telegraph. Tho arguments in favor Of
the measure are very forcibly stated; and
Of couisc 1t must be conceded that the
telegraph per Sc would be a good thing.
What we have suggested heretofore is
that as a prerequisite the department
should be SO drilled in the handling OF
the engines and apparatus as to get to the
scene oil conilsgration, and into operation,
in The minimum time, after they get the
alarm. Without this tho telegraph will
be Of little use: with it, it would
Ue valuable undoubtedly. We understand
the writer Of this communication to claim
that the putting up Of the fire alarm tele-
graph will furnish a starting point from
which the department will soon go for
svtd in improving itself till 1t has acquir-
ds drill and skill in the handling Of the
apparatus which it is hopeless to expect
without better method OF communica-
ting alarms. lift could be depended on
Nlead to such resuls we should not be in.
cIined to advise against this measure, but
that must be considered an open question.
We believe II the Department were well
drilled It could find nine tenths Of the

Suit to Compel an Assignment
Before Judge McCue.
John Cannon contracted with Andrew 8. Wheeler
to excavate the cellars for some new buildings on
Fulton, near Hoyt street, for $1,000. The former
was to I'LL up with the dirt certain lots be.
longing to the latter on Degraw street
and Keep whatever surplus dirt there might
be for himself. The stones from the Fulton
street excavation were to go to Wheeler. Cannon
at the time had contract with different parties
for grading and paving Sacket street, and yester-
day Wheeler stated that as Cannon was unable to
fulfil either OF the contracts he advanced him
$2,317. For this Wheeler said Cannon promised to
assign him the Sackett street contract but failed
TO do so. Hence lie brought suit to compel the as
stlnment.
The defendant denied that he had agreed to
claim for $500 for extra work on the Fulton street
excavation
The case was tried before Judge McCue, without
jury, and the decision OF the Court was reserved.
The Fulton Banks Suit ON q Note.
Before Judge Nelson.
The Fulton Bank discounted a prOmiss0ry note
for 81, 800 made by II. A. Frink to Wilder h Co.,
who accepted 1t and endorsed it without consid-
Grafton. Ninety-one dollars were charged as dis
count. The note was not paid when 1t became due,
and the Bank yesterday brought suit against Frink
charged usury. The jury rendered verdict In
favor OF plaintiff for the iull amount claimed.
The question as to whether the Fulton Bank,
being State bank, was relieved by statute from
the law touching usury was reserved for the Gen.
eral Term.
