AN ANSWER TO GRIER
Filed in Court on Behalf Of the
County Commissioners.
THE DISPUTE AS TO COUNSEL FEES
An Important Corporation Decision Given
BY Judge Porter.
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE IN CRISP SHAPE

County Commissioners Mercer, Wler and
BOYLE yesterday filed their answer to the
petition of Controller Grier for writ of
mandamus to compel them to issue warrants
to him for money expended by him In
counsel fees in the McGunnegle, Deputy
Coroner and Gilfillan cases. The Commls-
sioners in their answer admit the statement
that thev allowed the Controller attorneys
fees in the Salary Board case between them
selves and the Controller. and say they did
SO because the County Solicitor could not
act on both sides of the case.
As to the case of Deputy Coroner Berry
they say notice was never served on them
or the County Solicitor of the suit, and they
did not authorize the Controller to employ
Robb & Fitzsimmons to defend him, and
his employment of them without consulta-
tion with or authority from them cannot
make the county liable for the debt thus
contracted.
The same statements are made as to the
case of A. Mex. McGunnegle. In addition
they saw that the Controller has no power
or authority to contract debts independent
of the County Commissioners and make the
county liable therefor.
As to the Gilfillan ease it is asserted
when the Commissioners requested the
Controller to consult the County Solicitor
he replied that he would not have him and
engaged Robb & Fitzsimmons without
authority from them. They say further
that the plaintiffs predecessors never
undertook to employ other counsel without
the approval of the Commissioners. They
deny the county is liable and assert that if
he has any claim it can be enforced at COM
Mon law. They assert that the allegation
of saving the county money is not involved
in the case, as the same would have been
saved if the County Attorney had been en-
ployed and these claims would not have

or Leave Tennessee.
MEMPHIS, March 23.-[ Special IA mass
meeting of negroes was held here last night
at which action was taken in regard to the
late lynching of the three negroes, Nc
Dowell, Moss and Steward. The leaders of
the race made addresses and the proceed
ings were of very orderly and temperate
nature. The lynching was denounced as
barbarous and the following is one Of the
resolutions adopted:
Resolved, That in view of the manifest in
creasing hostility toward the young men of
the race in this and other localities, we COM
mend the efforts of all who are about to
leave and urge thousands of others to prop
erlv and dispa ssionately adjust their affairs
and quietly follow their example ana seek
among strangers the protection of just laws
impartiaIly enforced, which are denied
them here.
This is important, because several promi-
nent and well-to-do colored men are trying
to dispose of their property and leave the
city.

Several thousand people of all classes
and conditions assembled near Green's
burg, Pa, to witness wolf chase. Two
wolves had been provided for the chase,
but as one OF them was found to be
crippled, only one was started. Three
agents OF the American Humane So
ciety OF Philadelphia and one from So
ciety in Pittsburg were present to sec
the wolf was killed without unnecessary
cruelty. The wolf was brought to the
field in cage and let loose, and after
it speeded the hounds. Almost imme-
diately the hounds overlook the poor
animal, and before it was finally shot
by one Of the agents it was literally
torn to pieces.

at the North Brother Island Hospital.
When a contagious disease is con-
tracted in New York City, the patient
is Immediately hustled off to the con-
tagiOus disease hospital at North
Brother Island.
North Brother Island is at the eX-
IRENE north end of the archipelago
in the East River, and is dotted with
institutions for the suffering and the
criminal Of the city. 1t is cut off
from the Fordham shore by only 700
yards Of water, too short distance,
perhaps, for absolute safety to the
inhabitants of the city. Yet the girth
of water which divides it from the
shore Is an effective guarantee against
anything but a general epidemic.

,ther Island for the treatment

Brother Island for the treatment
both of suffering and convalescent
patients. The plan of housing pa
tients in open structures of this
kind is comparatively modern, and
some eminent authorities claim that
patients down with the fever are
more likely to be cured in structures
Of this character than in brick or
stone buildings. In tents, the au-
thorities claim, the ventilation is
better, as the patients i'm them en-
JOY the advantage Of constant cir
culation of pure air without being
exposed to any draughts. Chief
Clerk Craig explained the course Of
treatment to which typhus patient
was subjected from the time OF quar-
antining until state of GONZALES
cence and cure was reached.
Nov, let us suppose, said Mr.
Craig, "that DR.. Edison has received
notice by postal card addressed to the
Health Board from tenement house
in this city that a certain person, say
7-year-old child, is suffering from
contagious disease of some kind.
DR.. Edison sends an expert examiner
Of the department Immediately to
determine the disease. The disease
is determined as scarlet fever. The
physician finds that the child is at
tending school. He decides that it
must be removed from nome. The
mother protests. He gives her the
option of dressing and coming along
with her child. Maybe she comes,
maybe she doesn't. The child is
taken in an ambulance, the house
disinfected and all clothes removed
in a wagon. The child Is taken to
the Willard Parker Hospital, where
the mother can remain until the pa
tient is discharged. Just as soon as
DR.. Edison has notice of the case he
sends to the principal OF the school
the child attended notice Of the out
break Of the disease and instruction
not to allow any members Of the fam
lily to attend.
