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.
ARRESTED HIS BROTHER.
Took Him to the
Police Station on a Charge of Drunkenness.
Henry HITZFELDT, who was
arraigned in police court to-day on a charge of drunkenness, was arrested by his
brother. He... (didn't get rest of article)
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.
