 Two Republics: A well known civil engineer from the Isthmus country arrived in this city yesterday. Ills reports about the yellow fever ques- tion are not quite as bad as some others that have been received. He was acquainted with all the members of the Pearson staff wtO succumbe1 to the disease and says nine.tenths were new to that portion of the coun. try and were men of fleshy build. also nearly all the natives who died or the fever were from the sierras and not natives of that portion where the disease was contracted. There has been some fear among the planters that the rain would not commence before the crops suffered but on the sixth inst. the evening showers began and now it is thought there will be no shortage on accouot of trough.

WONT STOP ELEVATED TRAINS.
Court Says Public Convenience Overshadows
Private Interest.

The motions made in behalf of the estate OF
William II. Scott, owner OF 80 Murray street.
and of William Starr Miller. owner of lis Pearl
street. to enJoin the elevated railroad people
from running trains past these premises be-
cause Of alleged delays OF the defendant COM
pany in preventing the settlement OF litigation
brought to recover damages to rentals and
easements, was denied yesterday by Justice
Fitzgerald Of the Supreme Court. The Judge
says:
The consideration Of public convenience
prompted the court in the past to deny such
applications. 1t is urged. however. that in
creased transit facilities would now warrant a
rela xation of this rule. II may be that The ele-
waited railroads carry less passengers at the
present time than In former years, but " GER
talnly cannot be urged that our transit facll-
tiles are adequate to the demand constantly
made Upon their resources, The growth OF the
city, the vast increase of its population. the
common experience of all its citizens. lead to
the conclusion that the stoppage Of the elevated
trains, II but for a single day, would involve
discomfort and inconvenience TO thousands OF
persons, and the court in the exercise OF its
discretion would not be justified in granting in
junctiye relief"

KEARNY'S REPLY TO COLER.

Commissioners Kearny's reply to Comptroller
Coleris charges OF extravaganza against his de-
partment was received by the Comptroller yes
terday. The reply Is dated March IA. the day
after the Comptrollcr's original letter was sent
TO Commissioners kearny. In the letter Mr.,
Kear ny says that he sees nothing in the Comp
troller's letter accusing him, OF personally
profting by the alleged overcharges FOR sup
plies. and 50 does not regard II as an attack up
on his honesty SO far ~ the city's creditors
accepting less than the amount OF their bills IS
concerned, the Commissioner SAYS that IL indi-
ca ties nothing. as the claimants would rather
accept reductions than 20 to the expense Of
fighting their claims In court. In conclusion
Mr. kearny says:
In addition | would call your attention to
the fact that while your department IL prac-
tically unlimited in the amount Of money II can
cxpend for investigating, this department has
been hampered by a lack Of appropriation to
pay for nen properly TO supervise and look ont
