CITY TO HAVE A MILKMAID
In Connection With Milk Stations of Health Department.
City Hospital Nurse to See to Milking Every Morning and Evening this Summer.
Cows to be Wrapped in Sheets So that No Dust Will Get in Milk - Milk Certified.
   Dr. GOLER of the health department has made some very original arrangements in connection with the city milk stations to be opened the first of the month.  Heretofore sterilized milk has been sold to furnish pure food for babies during the summer.  This year a new scheme will be tried by the health officer.
   The physician in charge of the health department has secured the services of a trained nurse from the City Hospital who is to take charge of the milking of the cows that are in what is known as the city herd and see that the milk furnished is pure and free from dirt and dust.  In the first place the health officer has inspected a herd of cattle in the town of Gates and agreed to take their milk for the city stations this summer.
   The cows are said by the health officer to be in perfect condition and without the precautions to be taken by the department their milk would be practically pure.  But Dr. GOLER is not satisfied with this alone and has made arrangements whereby he thinks the milk stations will get the best milk they have ever secured.  A tent is to erected on the farm for the trained nurse to live in and she will have entire charge of the milking and the shipping of the product to the stations in the city.
   The nurse will arise every morning at 5 o'clock and go directly to the barn to take supervision of the milking.  She will see that the milkmen wash their hands before entering the cow stables and will have sheets wrapped around the cows so that no dust from their bodies falls into the milk.  The sheets are to be treated with an antiseptic so that they will be free from contagion.  Then the cows will be milked at order of the city milkmaid and put at once into sterilizing bottles and sent to the city stations, where the milk will be distributed for a cent a bottle.
    The city will reap no profit from the business, as the milk is sold below cost.  Each bottle will be stamped by the milkmaid as pure and unless her certification is on it the bottle of milk will not be given out.  There are to be five city stations as in the past, but the location of them has not yet been decided upon.  It is the intention of Dr. GOLER to open the stations about the first of the month and keep them open until September.
    The health officer is of the opinion that the new scheme will be even better than the sterilized milk plan, as great precaution will be taken in the milking by the nurse on the spot.  Dr. GOLER says that the milk stations have decreased the infant mortality during hot weather very much in the past and he hopes even better results under the new plan.  The nurse will also supervise the milking at evening.

YOUNG TRUANT ARRESTED.
Taken to the Shelter by His Father - Arraigned in Court.
   Meyer LIVINGSTON was arraigned in the juvenile court to-day on a charge of truancy.  The case was not disposed of and will come up again on Friday.  The boy was sent to the Shelter.
   The boy has for some time been in the habit of running away from school.  His father has done everything possible to make him go to school, but being unable to make the boy go he placed him under arrest on a charge of truancy.

DR. WARREN DISCHARGED.
Was Arrested Three Times on a Charge of Defrauding a Boarding House Keeper.
   Dr. Samuel H. WARREN, who was charged with fraud on Mrs. F.E. SCOFIELD, a boarding house keeper, was discharged in police court to-day, the complainant in the case failing to appear against him.
   WARREN was arrested some time ago on the charge and when he was arraigned he was discharged on another technicality.  Once more he was arrested and his examination was put over.  When the case was called Mrs. SCOFIELD was ill and not able to appear in court.  The case was adjourned till to-day and when it was called to-day Mrs. SCOFIELD was not in court.  WARREN was therefore discharged.

CAKE WALKER ON TRIAL.
Fred GILMORE is Charged with Cutting "Rubey" EVANS - Important Witness Absent.
   Fred GILMORE, a cake walker of pronounced reputation, was placed on trial before Judge STEPHENS in County Court to-day, it being alleged that he cut Reuben EVANS with a razor in front of the Wheeler House on West avenue May 20th last.  GILMORE had previously pleaded not guilty.
   Ira L. WARD appeared for the defendant and Assistant District Attorney MATSON for the prosecution.   One of the principal witnesses for the defense, Paul GIBBS, of Hornellsville, was not in the court room at the opening of the case, and GILMORE did not like the idea of going to trial without him, but the court directed otherwise.

MISS HURSH IMPROVED.
Condition of Young Woman Injured by Trolley is Very Good.
   Miss Clara HURSH of No. 311 Jay street, who was so badly injured by a trolley car on Saturday that her arm had to be taken off, was reported to-day to be in a wonderfully improved condition.  It was reported yesterday that she was dead, but their is no foundation for such reports.  Indeed, yesterday afternoon the young woman asked her physician to allow her to sit up.  She is in no danger of death, whatever.
   The young lady's family has been singularly unfortunately in accidents to its members.  The husband and father, a painter, was struck by an engine while walking on the Central tracks at East Rochester thirteen years ago and almost instantly killed.  It is a remarkable coincidence that Officer MOYNIHAN, who helped carry Miss HURSH to the sidewalk after last Saturday's terrible accident, is the same officer who picked up her father's body when he was killed.  Eight years ago her brother had his head taken off by an elevator at the Sill Stove Works, and a few years later another brother had his hand taken off.

SKIRT AND DRESS STOLEN.
Recovered on a Search Warrant and Turned Over to Owner.
   A French Crepon skirt and a white lace underskirt, the property of Miss A.M. FISHER, and recovered on a search warrant, were turned over to the owner in police court to-day.
   The garments were taken several days ago and the woman from whose possession they were taken did not put in a claim for them in police court.  The ownership not being disputed they were turned over to Miss FISHER.  The dainty goods, which were exhibited in court, were valued at $26.

REACHED AN AGREEMENT.
Young Man Charged With Non-Support Discharged in Police Court.
   Nelson CUTLER, the young man who was charged with non-support, was discharged in the police court to-day, there being no appearance against him.
   CUTLER was arrested two weeks ago on complaint of his wife, who charged him with failing to provide properly for herself and child.  Since the case was adjourned the couple have come to an agreement and the prosecution of the case was dropped.

RODE ON THE WALK.
Arrest of a Young Man Recently Held for Burglary.
   James HAMMOND, a young man who was held for burglary in police court a few days ago and was released on bail, was before Judge ERNST to-day on a charge of riding his bicycle on the sidewalk.  He was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of $2.

AMBULANCE AND STREET CAR CRASH AT GIBBS STREET
One Man Seriously Injured and the Homeopathic Hospital Ambulance Wrecked.
Sensational Accident While Response Was Being Made to an Emergency Call.
   Dr. J.R. BROWNELL and Driver John McGLACHLIN Hurled from the Vehicle by the Collision.
One man seriously injured, another badly shaken and bruised, and one of the Homeopathic Hospital ambulances completely wrecked is the list of casualties resulting from one of the most sensational accidents that has occurred in this city in many months.  That no more serious results followed the collision is regarded as almost miraculous.
   Just before 11 o'clock a hurry call from University avenue was received at the Homeopathic Hospital, and one of the ambulances in charge of Surgeon J.R. BROWNELL and Driver John McGLACHLIN was sent to answer the call.  The trip down East avenue was made in safety and the ambulance turned into Gibbs street going at top speed with the gong sounding continuously.  As Main street was neared the gong was sounded louder and people rushed to the windows to see the ambulance pass.  At that moment another gong was heard sounding and car No. 185 of the East Main street line was seen rushing along Main street, east-bound.  There was a shout of warning from persons in the vicinity, and the driver of the ambulance, seeing that to stop would be impossible, urged his horse forward in an attempt to escape the collision.
   His efforts were useless for with a crash that was heard blocks away the car was hurled against the ambulance, striking it just back of the fore wheels.  The impact was so great that the front part of the running gear was torn from the body of the ambulance and disappeared down Gills street, while the box and cover of the vehicle were rolled over and over before the car could be brought to a halt some hundred feet east of the point where the collision occurred.
   The accident had been witnessed by a number of persons, and the crash had attracted the attention of others.  All rushed to the scene to render assistance, and the first person picked up was the surgeon.  He was stunned, but regained consciousness for a moment, only to swoon again when being carried to a neighboring lawn, where he remained until the second ambulance from the hospital could be called to remove him to that institution.  The driver, John McGLACHLIN, was thrown out over the dashboard by the collision, and rolled over and over along the pavement.  He was able to get up without assistance, and his first care was for his horse, which had continued on down Gills street until captured.  McGLACHLIN was able to make his way back to the hospital.
   Dr. BROWNELL regained consciousness when taken to the hospital and a careful examination failed to show any broken bones.  He was very badly bruised and his injuries are of such a nature that he will be confined to his bed for some time, but no serious results are anticipated as a result of the accident.
   The ambulance was completely wrecked by the collision.  The front part was torn away, the sides crushed in and the greater part of the flooring splintered.  The lamps were smashed, and it will cost several hundred dollars to put the vehicle in condition again.
   Statements of witnesses to the accident differ as to the responsibility for the collision.  All witnesses agree that both the car and ambulance were going at a high rate of speed when the crash came, but there was a difference of opinion as to whether the gongs on both were being sounded.  The car was in charge of Motorman Charles KEELING.
    President Hiram H. EDGERTON of the Common Council, who reached the scene of the accident shortly after it occurred, expressed himself emphatically in denunciation of the high rate of speed at which the ambulances are driven.  "I have noticed," said he, "that the ambulance drivers go at altogether too high a rate of speed, even when they are not responding to an emergency call.  They dash across streets at such a rate of speed in order to possibly save one life that they endanger a score of lives.  I think that the speed of ambulances should be so regulated that pedestrians, at least, will stand a running chance of not being struck.  Accidents similar to to-day's might have happened at any time, owing to the speed at which the horses on the ambulances are driven."

SPEED OF AMBULANCES.
Correspondent Calls Attention to the Desire of Drivers to "Show Off" on Crowded Streets.
Editor Union and Advertiser:
   The accident to the Homeopathic Hospital ambulance at Main and Gibbs streets this morning forcibly calls attention to the unnecessary speed with which the ambulances of the hospitals are driven through the main streets of the city at all hours of the day and night.  In this connection a recital of the facts in connection with a run made by the City Hospital ambulance last Sunday morning may be of interest.
   The ambulance came out of Prospect street with the horses on a fair trot.  The same rate of speed was maintained until the bridge over the canal at Elizabeth street was reached.  There a small boy who lives in the neighborhood remarked, "Now you'll see 'em go."  And sure enough they did go.  No sooner was the bridge passed than the horses were urged to a wild run, and the gait was maintained until the Four Corners was reached, where the team was slowed up to make the turn into State street.  Once around the corner the team was again urged to a run.
   Now it seems to me that the wild running was all done for show.  There were few people between Prospect street and the bridge, so the horses were allowed to trot.  But when the part of the street where there were many people on the sidewalks to see the run was reached they were at once urged to top speed.  The lad who made the remark quoted, in answer to questions, said the ambulance always went slowly until the east end of the bridge was passed, and after that went on a run, with the gong sounding.
            The pavement west of the bridge is in as good shape as that east of the bridge, so it could not have been on account of that that the slow rate was maintained there.  It is plain that the driver wanted to "show off," and he ought to be disciplined for it.       Observer

SCORCERS FINED.
Rode on Genesee Street Faster Than the Law Allows.
   A number of scorchers were run down last night by the bicycle policemen and were fined in the police court to-day.  All of the men who were arrested and notified to appear were fined $1 each, while judgment for $2 was taken against one who did not appear.
   The men arrested were John WALKER, Charles WOLF, William VOGT, E.C. NORTHORST.  There were riding from fifteen to twenty miles an hour at the time of their arrest.  WOLF was the one who did not appear and was fined $2.  The others were fined $1 each after entering pleas of guilty to the charges.  The arrests were made by Officers SCHULTZ, GREVE, LANE, DREXELIUS, MEHLE and SIENER, who visited Genesee street last night for the purpose of looking after the scorchers.  On the night previous a woman was seriously injured by  being thrown from her wheel through the action of a scorcher.

Found in Possession of Junk Dealer and Turned Over to Owner.
   A copper boiler which belonged to Isaac MANSON and was found in the possession of Jacob COHEN, was turned over to the owner in Police Court to-day.
   The boiler was stolen from the porch of the owner's house the other day.  He suspected that it was in the possession of COHEN, got a search warrant and the boiler was found there and taken to police headquarters.  COHEN said that he bought the boiler from a man from whom he had been in the habit of buying junk for some time.  He did not dispute the fact that MANSON owned the boiler.

ARRAIGNED FOR PERJURY.

Donato SABRUGNIO States That He is Not Guilty of the Crime Charged.
   Donato SABRUGNIO, a middle-aged Italian, was arraigned before Judge STEPHENS in County Court this forenoon on a charge of perjury.  It is alleged that he misrepresented his property in making his statement when he was examined at the time of qualifying on Lena TOLEDO's bond.  Mrs. TOLEDO was the woman convicted of dealing in stolen property.
   SABRUGNIO pleaded not guilty, and his case was put over until next Monday, when he will be tried.  Ira L. WARD is his attorney.

AWNING ALL RIGHT.

And Charge of Violating an Ordinance Was Not Pressed.
    Frederick LANDAU, who was charged with violating the ordinance requiring that awnings be hung a certain number of feet above the surface of the walk, was discharged in police court to-day.  He has since the charge was made against him had his awning altered so that it complies with the ordinance.
   The charge against the man was made by Officers STEIN and MURRAY who have been looking after the enforcement of the ordinance.

THEATER VENTILATION.

Health Officer Recommends Improvements at Cook Opera House.
   Health Officer George W. GOLER this morning sent a communication to the owners of Cook Opera House recommending that the ventilation of the playhouse be improved before the season opens again.  The health officer thinks a few changes would remedy the ventilation greatly.
   It is suggested by Dr. GOLER that apparatus be put in to drive out the foul air in the theater every so often and that 1,800 cubic feet of fresh air be supplied every hour.  The communication of Dr. GOLER is addressed to Hon. Frederick COOK and Jacob GERLING.

GONE TO THE JURY.

Case of William LEWIN Against the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
   Justice DAVY to-day charged the jury in the case of William LEWIN against the Lehigh Valley railroad and the case was then given to the jury, after Judge YEOMAN, of counsel for the Lehigh Valley, had made several requests to charge.  The plaintiff did not ask the court to vary the charge.

LEWIN asks $15,000 damages for injures sustained in the Lehigh Valley wreck at Farmington, in which a train struck a wagon in which LEWIN was riding, killed some of the occupants and injuring LEWIN severely.  Several suits have arisen out of the accident, some of which have been tried.  Werner & Harris, with Judge Thomas ?AINES as counsel, appears for the plaintiff.

A BAG OF RUBBERS.

Stolen From a Paper Factory and Found in an Alley.
   A bag of rubbers valued at $7 were found in the rear of 124 North Water street by Officer SHERWOOD at an early hour this morning and investigation by the policeman developed the fact that the rubbers had been stolen from the Lawless paper factory near where they were found.  It is probable that the thief became alarmed and dropping the bag of booty ran away.

TAKING LAW EXAMS.

One Hundred and Fifty Men and Women Trying - One Man is Blind - Three Women.

About 150 young men are taking the examinations for admission to the bar, on the top floor of the Court House, to-day.  Most of them have their coats off and they are putting in one of the best day's work of their lives.  The examiner is Hon. Frank GOODELLE of Syracuse.  The examination is entirely written.

Among the candidates are three women, Miss Cecelia B. WIENER of Buffalo, Mrs. Lucy THAYER WARING of Franklinville, Cattaraugus county, and Mrs. Helen. Z. M. RODGERS of Buffalo.

Floyd E. WHITEMAN, another of the candidates, is nearly blind.  He lives in Ithaca and attended Cornell University and attended the Cornell law school.  He is obliged to take the examination through an amanuensis.  She read all the questions to him and he answered the questions, after which she wrote down the answers for him.  This took considerable time, but Whiteman's paper was not the last one to be handed in.

Several judges and prominent lawyers visited the room where the examination was in progress.  Among these was Justice Peter B. McLENNAN and ex-Congressman William G. LAIDLOW of E??cottville, N.Y.

LOOKING FOR A LOST HUSBAND.
Man's Strange Disappearance Reported to Police.
Left His Home Last Sunday Night and Has Not Been Seen Since by His Family.
When He Left the House He Said That He Was Going for a Short Walk - Wife Alarmed.
    William G. TILLEY is missing from his home at 6 Wadsworth street, having disappeared last Sunday night about 10 o'clock.  The wife of the missing man reported his disappearance to the police last night and a search was instituted for him by the officers, all of whom were given a description of the man as furnished by his wife.  The latter stated that at the time that her husband left home he had been drinking, and as he was subject to melancholy attacks when under the influence of liquor, she was much alarmed over his non-appearance at his home.
     TILLEY works as a spinner at 6 Elton street.  He was at home the greater part of Sunday with his wife and children.  It is said that during the day he drank some.  About 10 o'clock in the evening TILLEY put on his hat and coat and left the house, saying that he was going to take a walk.  That was the last time that Mrs. TILLEY saw her husband.  Because of the fact that he becomes melancholy when he is drinking and broods a great deal over his condition in life, the wife fears that unless he is found, he may commit suicide or at least attempt to take his life. The wife does not believe that he left the city as he had very little money when he left the house.  There seems no doubt that his intention, when he left home, was to return in a short time as he made no intimation that he intended to remain away any length of time.  It is probably that if he went to a drinking place he met some friends and that he remained with them the greater part of the night.  Where he went after !
he left them, however, is the mysterious part of the affair.  Absolutely no trace of him has been obtained.  Mrs. TILLEY, fully expecting that her husband would return home, waited till last night before calling the fact of his disappearance to the police.
     TILLEY is described as 30 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches in height, and weighing about 130 pounds.  He has light complexion with sandy moustache, but has dark hair and dark eyes.  When he left home he had on a blue sack coat, dark blue trousers and a brown derby hat.  He wore no collar or vest.  The fact that he made no preparations as though to leave home indicates that when he left the house he had no intention of being absent any length of time.
