MendaY.
NEW York, Oct. M.-Ths decision in the
electric light injunction ease will not be rem
dered before Monday. Counsel for the Brush
and United States companies appeared In
court to-day and complained that the board
Of electrical control refused to certify to the
safety Of their wires and that they were los
ing custom by not being ableto supply light.
while their competitors were unmolssted.
They therefore withdraw the stipulation they
made some days ago not to use their circuits
until certified or until the injunction cases
were decided. They had been stringing new
and perfect wires in place of many old ones,
and they proposed to use these TO-
night. Counsel for the city denounced
this as breach of faith, but
the companies pointed out that their stipu-
lation had been voluntary and they had .
right to withdraw 1t. The court stated that
he could not advise the companies one way
or other. They must act on their own re-
sponsibility. This closed the hearing.
