groom from his home in Stockton-st 10 his
stables in Mercer-st., where he intended TO ex-
anime the horse with a view to purchasing II.
Hardly had he entered the stall. when the ami
NAL began 10 kick vicously. striking him sew
eral times in the right side aud near the knees.
1t happened that the groom who drove Mr..
Pyne 20 the stables was near and Immediately

moned TO his home by telephone soon as the
accident occurred. He dressed the wounds and

TO MANDANUS THE AS.SEuBLI
A CONTRACTOR BRINGS ACTION AT THE
CONTROLLERS REQUEST.
JUSTICE sTOvER GRANTS AN ORDER COM
MANDING THAT BODY AND THE BOARD
OF ESTIMATE TO SHOW CAUSE WHY
A WRIT SHOULD NOT BE ISSUED.


AwRIT SHOULD NOT BE ISSUED.
Controller Bird S Coler yesterday caused pro-
ceedings 10 be begun in the Supreme Court 20
hasten action by the Council on the bond issue
for 81 100 O0O for the new Hall Of Records. He
said in the morning that the action Of the Coun-
Gil on Tuesday, authorizing bond issues when
were needed to reduce the interest on claims
against the city, left excuse for proceedings
in the name of the city, and it was time for the
contractors who were interested in bond issues
to take cases into court.
'The Mayor and administration have done
all in their power TO compel the Municipal AS
sembly TO act on the bond issues. and it is time
for the men who are being held up 10 help them
selves he said. He accordingly sent for John
Pierce the contractor for the new Hall Of Rec
ords and asked him point blank TO begin man
damus proceedings
Mr.. Pierce acted on the Controllers request
and in the afternoon Justice Slower, in the SUI
preme Court granted an order against the
Municipal Assembly and the Board Of Estimate
and Apportionment commanding them to show
cause why a peremptory writ Of mandamus
should not be issued against them compelling
them to issue bonds in payment for the new Hall
of Records.
Kellogg. Rose and Smith are counsel for Mr.
Pierce In a long affidavit upon which Justice
Stovers order issued. they recite the law
under which the authority 70 issue bonds Is
vested in the Municipal Assembly and the
other parties to the suit. and also the terms
Of the contract under which Mr.. Pierce is build
ing the new Hall of Records. The affidavit fur
ther shows that the full amount OF the contract
calls for 81 991 900. and that on February 8,
1SQq the Board of Estimate and Apportionment
appropriated 81 600 for the work and au-
thorized the issue of corporate stock 10 pay FOR
the work The failure of the Municipal Assem-
blv TO issue that stock, counsel says, has caused
great damage to the contractor.
Under the terms Of his contract, the afhdaV,
shows the contractor was 10 draw ~ per cent
of the value Of all work done. on May last
the amount due was $14,4 and he fled claim
with the Controller five days later The account
was approved by the proper autnorlues' lncIuu-
lng Commissioner Kearnv OF the Department
NJ Public Buildings Lighting and Supplies. and
sudited bv the proper financial officers. A IKE
course was pursued with an account Of Sl9st0
due on June s Both accounts are af1xed 70 the
sfTidavit. -, - 49, ~,
Neither amount has been paid and the con-
troIler has explained his inability 10 pay them
by tbe neglect OF the Assembly TO authorize the
pecessarv issue OF bonds.

FEW CASES IN HAVANA
No CAUSE FOR IMMEDIATE ALARM IN CUBA's
CAPITAL

Havana, July 12-The yellow fever alarms Of
the last few weeks have caused the Department
q good deal OF annoyance. AS rule they have
been due to sensational and unreliable news
No attempt whatever has been made by General
Ludlow or the sanitary authorities TO maintain
secrecy regarding the facts. On the contrary.
the fullest publicity is given; every hospital is
opened 10 inspection; all inquiries by properly
accredited correspondents are promptly an
swered. and every effort TO discover suspected
cases is welcomed and facilitated.
Surgeon Major Davis agrees with General
Ludlow that IL is criminal 10 conceal the facts.
Consequently when the German Consul who
sat next 10 General Humphrey at the Fourth Of
July banquet remarked that he had just heard
OF two cases Of yellow fever among the Ger
mans the sanitary authorities lost no time In
making a thorough investigation. The Consul
vas Immediately asked for full particulars In
curry developed the fact that German had told
The Consul that a friend who had been at
tackled by yellow fever had been taken to the
hospital and that later another man told the
Consul of what seemed another case This,
however. proved 10 be Identical with the first
l. then turned out that the man in the hospital
was suffering only from mild type OF malaria,
and in the course Of three days he received his
discharge All this illustrates the way in which
a good deal Of the yellow fever intelligence"
gets currency.
The total number Of cases Of the fever in
Havana this year is seventeen. including three
brought here in ships. For these last the city is
not answerable and the authorities have always
protested against the barra cks. where such cases
are trea ted The total number Of deaths for
the year from yellow fever is seven. General
Ludlow and Major Davis do not claim perfect
immunity for the Department, but they both
believe that everything practicable has been
done 10 ward OF the disease, and that, too, with
q very considerable amount Of success
