I- Mathers 4t Co. bought a gray mare from Glovani Arata March J2. last, paying blm the sum mentioned for the animal. They assert that the horse-dealer guaranteed her to le sound In every way and serviceable.

It Is charged that the mare has corns on ber feet that render her of practically no use. Fxperts on things hsve been Introduced to show tbe nature and extent of these corns. The horseshoer who placed shoes on the animal said he discovered the corns and a veterinary surgeon, after an examination, said that the corns were pronounced and rendered the mare useless. He said that tbey had become sore and suppuration had set In, and the animal was lame and would remain so. If used.

The pralntlffg sver that Arata guaranteed the mare to be sound, and that therefore he la legally bound to refund the purchase money and take the animal.

The meat inspector's department, under Dr. White, was complimented by the board npon the early discovery by It of a lot of spoiled meat, which would have otherwise been put on the market and sold. Their vigilance wss the meana of preventing the breaking ont of sickness, "which," said Dr. Kohnke, "would bare surely spread If thla meat had been consumed as food."

may be taken as a fairly reliable Indication of health conditions In New Orleans during the midsummer season. For the lint week of this month the rate of mortality per i ii. "iso iu per annum was roe wntte people 14.61. for colored 21.JW. with total nt.

of 16.HO. a bite death rate of 14 664 In me miouie oi summer snoma certslnlv convince the most skeptical pessimist that New Orleans is not behind in the march of progress toward Increased llfj txpectancy, and a mortality for all clase( oi ci ureas or ltj.tsj snows that even tbe urawnack or a high negro death rate may at last be overcome. "The record for Infections diseases shows a decreasing tendency In slU Moat Important of these la typhoid fever, which shows the least Improvement. Sixteen deaths were cansed bv typhoid in Julv, and live thus far in August. The most painstaking efforts bave as yet failed to ahow a local general cause for this disease, and I am strengthened In tnv belief that the greatest aource of Infection is outside of the city, snd that Infection la more often imported than is known, though each case imported may give rise to others originating here by '-Immediate or remote contact.

MEAT UNFIT FOR SALE. "During the latter part of July a carload of meat was received at the agancy of one of the Western packing houses (Nelson Morris A Co.) which bad been delayed In transit or had not been prop-fT'y refrigerated. The lot was about pounds, and was not In condition to pass Inspection. In reply to bis Inquiry, the aeent was Informed that the meat. If It did not pass Inspection, would not lie penmltted to be sold as food even outside the city, but would le destroyed.

Before the meat could be reached, however, for destruction the car was switched out and sent sway from the city, the agent having laken advantage of a delay of a few bjnrs granted blm for the purpose of consulting bis attorney under promise of not removing the nieat from our Jurisdiction during the delay. July 25 another lot of meat fabont pounds salt porki was discovered In the Amour Company's cold storage, having lievn placed there bv a wholesale commission merchant of Poydras street for account of a retail grocer of Decatur street who bad already removed and sold a small quantity before condemnation of the stuff. The meat was receded by the Armour Company sa "old and tainted," and there was a disposition, on the part of th.e custodians to question the authorltv of the board to renrove and destroy it. A delay of several days waa granted for the purpose of establishing the ownership of the shipment, but everv one connected with tbe affair disclaimlag ownership of tbe condemned meat, it was sent for rendering purposes to the establishment of Fitcpatrick Cromwell, who were sd-vlsed by me to pay to the owner whenever such should present himself the price agreed upon iwhleh was the most advantageous at the time obtainable). "It has been slme asiertalned tat this lot of salt pork was shipped from Mem- fr.is in a rerrtgerator car ny tne emiany 'acktng Company on July lit to their agent In New Orleans.

It was received here over the Illinois Central road and placed lu the Armour cold storage July 24. Whether this meat was shipped from Memphis before or after it had spoiled has not been ascertained: but there la no doubt regarding the Intention of the owners to treat ft In the hope of disguising Its true condition so that It might be for food; the whole transaction being a commercial one. which did not fake Into consideration the physb-al health of the prospective consumers. Had this meat not been discovered snd destroyed it is impossible to say bow much sickness would have been caused or bow many lives perhaps sacrificed to the commercial Instinct of those who are morslly responsible for the possible results. The attorney will be asked to ascertain what can be'legally done to discourage a repetition of the offense cf shlpptng to this city dc-omposed meat far sale as human food.

HAVANA AND MOSQUITOES. "Your special attention Is requested to a letter from Carlos J. Flniay. president of the Superior Board of Health and health officer of Cuba, in which, after verv kindly characterizing my report on Havana" as "lucid" and In other respects the dixtor. on my Invitation, corrects sn item of misinformation, and state that cattle vessels from yellow fever Infected ports do not land at the wharf In Havana as I had been Informed tbey did.

and also that provision Is now' mad for the protection of fever cases from mosqeftoes while crossing the The Havana system of protection against yellow fever as presently orranln therefore, is to my mind, as complete as human inrennlty can devise wl'Ja tbe present advanced kaowl- recover da ma res for tbe Injury, snd while the pialutifT would be liable to tbe bank for damages arising through de-fentlant's mistake, tbe employer being free from fault as to tbe error in question would have bis remedy against defendant for the damages for which he might have bad to pay; and tbe meusure damages In such case would be tbe amount tit the recovery against the employer. MEASURE OF DAMAGES. Tbe measure of damages In this case is the loss occasioned to piaintifl iy the refusal of tbe bank to pay the bill for advertising, for as the contract of service is mutual, tbe employer hns a claim against the employee for his mistake, carelessness neglect of duty, and, as Mated before, he does not "waive his claim by paying blm and continuing him in his service. Defendant counsel contends that the method of correcting proof in the News office was not tbe customary w-ay of correcting it, and produced evidence to show that a more expensive system was In Togue at the time the error occurred in two of the morning newspaper offices In this city. The evidence offered by defendant show the original error had been corrected by the manager and bad been marked, but Instead, of making the correction he made more serious error, which second error appeared In the paper.

Defendant testified that the error occurred through an oversight due to bis hurry and tbe rushing vt the foreman. OLD PROOF READER TESTIFIES. The oldest proof reader In service on The Times Iemoc rat. a gentleman of many years' service, swore that he, would bave marked the proof differently, but that if he were at the case or working a machine he would have made the correction as marked by tbe mansger and as it should have appeared In the newspaper and not as It did appear. There is nothing Implied In defendant's contract of employment which would x-eimit htm or absolve hlra from responsi bility Tor nls error, and it Is clear that he Is liable for the amount of tbe advertising bill remaining unpaid.

BOD FOR OFFICER WATERMA. Evidence He Acted In Self-Defense la Klllinc Xearro. Folleeman Edwarxl N. Waterman, charged with the murder of Harry Mot-ens, a July 19, In Marais street, was arraigned in tbe Second City Criminal Court yesterday, and his bond was fixed at $500 by Judge An coin. An application for b'sti wss made by Waterman's attorney, but tbe court would not grant It without bearing the testimony" of at least one witness, in order to ascertain whether tbe accused was entitled to the privilege.

Norris said be bad never had any trouble with Connors and could uot account for Connors havlne- threat. ened him. Connors la also detailed in tne Mxtn freclnct.
