HEALTH.
Other Matters, Besidc swtii Hiik.
which Need Investigasien.

-
The late swill milk excitement which
has sgitated the people Of Virginia Is
certainly a healthy public symptom.
No fact is better established at the
present day than that cows fed on pu-
trsscine vegetable matter will give milk
which will produce diarrhsa In children
and typhoid fever in adults. Every.
body who has open eyes Knows that the
garbage daily cartsd from the Kitchens
OF the city Is too nlthy and full Of de-
cav to BE- healthy food for even hogs
intended for the slaughter.house.
But there are other things going on
around Virginia which need investiga.
ton equally with the cases above
mentioned. This investigation should
DO ordered. and II scientifically con-
Quoted, would develop other sources OF
disease equally As prolific as swill milk.
We alluds to the permitted use OF ssw-
age for the purposes Of irrigation. Not
only Is this dangerous to the health Of
the vicinity where the sewage Is thus
spread out, but the vegetables them.
selves are unit TO be eaten and should
b. prohibited from being vended for
tood.
The authorities on this subject are
numerous and in point. In conversa-
ton with q prominent physician OF vir-
ginia yesterday the writer asked his
opinion on the subject and was told the
following which came within his own
personal knowledge In the Fall Of
1879 this physician was stopping in
London and in q quarter where typhoid
fever became epidemic. The authori.
ties ordered IN investigation. inasmuch
a. the limits swept by tho disease were
comparatively small and its prevalence
was considered due 10 some local cause.
The result was that the fever was traced
directly 10 milk which was supplied
from the Marylebone district and from
cows fed on grass which grew luxuri.
anily sixteen miles rway. but which was
watsrsd by the sewage OF the city.
In the above instance the sale Of the
milk Was prohibited. It ruined the
milkman. and he appealed to the courts.
In the Investigations which followed the
grass was proved TO be l%uxuriant, the
cattle fat and apparently healthy /; but
the poisonous matter OF the sewers was
traced. not only into the vegetables. but
through both them and the cows into
the milk. and thence into the fever dis
trict Of London.
Virginia City allows. by resolution Of
the Board OF Aldermen, sewage to be
taken from her streets and used for the
irrigation OF vegetable gardens. and the
sale OF those vegetables to her citizens.
This has been objected to by many on
general principles. while others have
shown their good sense by refusing to
buy the vegetables so grown. They
should be refused by all, aud the Board
OF Aldermen. instead Of allowing. should
prohibit the taking Of sewage for irrisa.
ting purposes.

FEARFUL FALL.
captais Judd Yaiia late the Hey.
sssse shafs-His lsJuriss rree-
ably Fatal.


At 1880 A. N. to-day Captain W. z.
Judd. foreman Of the Keystone, fell
into the shaft Of that mine and was pre-.
cipitatsd siIty.fvs feet TO the stump. re-
csivins injuries which are pronounced
fatal.
It seems that the tub used for sinking
had been taken from the cable and q
loop used to lower timbers. Of which
enc set was being put In place ct the
time Of the accident. When Captain
Judd was ready to descend. the bucket
was attached and be stepped into IL with
some tools in his hand. As Il caught
his weight the connection between the
loop OF the cable and the chain OF the
bucket slipped. gave way and the entire
load fell to the stump.
There were several msn at work In
the shaft at the time OF the accident.
but fortunately they were ct the sides
scrswing up and fastening the timbsrs
which had just been lowered and. with
. single exception, escaped injury. Z.
d. Hall received quite . scalp wound

by Captain Judd at the time OF the &C.
cident.
Captain Judd was terribly bruised and
broken by the fall. His ssversst injuries
are in the head, the left side OF which 10
skinned from the cheek bone up. II 10
also feared that the skull 10 cracked. In
addition to this his right thigh 10 broken
and his left leg nsa the ankle. Il 10
thought also that his collar bone IL
cracked. He was raised to the surface.
attended by DR.. Aitohison. and. q loon
a. his wounds were dressed. taken 10

The accident 10 q sad one, and appears
to have been the result In part Of care
lessness In making the connection be-
tween the loop and chain, and In part Of
that system Of mining usually followed
when operations are new and before
improved facilities are at command.
The injuries received wsr more from
striking timben In the descent than
from the crash at the bottom. There
were three feet OF water In the stump at
the time OF the accident.
The Keystone works are beyond the
Toll House Divide aud . little 10 the
