called upon Captain Williams at the Ihlrtieth Street
Police Station on Monday night, and accused him
self of having robbed his brotherin-law in France

His story was to the effect that he was in the
jewclry business with his brother-n-law and re-
ceyed from him the diamonds TO sell III this coun-
try. lie did So, but failed to pay over the money.
Instead, he fled to the West and there sqnandered
IL in gambling and ri0tOus living When 1t was all
gone remorse came and he resolved TO return, sur
render himself and meet his punishment.
Captain Williams locked his visitor up over
night. and in the morning took him to see Supern-
tendent Walline to whom he told his story, adding
that he was willing and anxious 70 be sent back to
France. The superintendent sent HIM with the
captain to the French Consul, who declined to in
teriere pay his passage TO Europe. Lavergne

FARMERS DISCUSSING THE MILK SUPPLY.


MEETING OF TIE BEDFORD CLuB-AS ADDRESS bf
DIR. j. BLAKE WHITE.
Tho Mil, Committee of the Bedford Farmers
Climb. of which John Jay is chairman, held meet
inp at Cooper Institute yesterday, to hear the re-
norris of sub committees. III. X. Pellew, chairman
of the Committee on Milk Distribution. submitted
a report suggesting several amendments. III sub
stance as follows
Producers and dealers should be prevented from
putting ice in milk as il practically amounts 10
adulteration. Some provision should be made for
preventing an undue feeding OF potatoes turnlps'
and other watery food which tends to produce a
deterated article. If possible the possession and
Offering for sale of contaminated milk should he
held TO be evidence of knowledge and intent to de-
fraud.
No system of inspection dependent entirely upon
municipal authority will protect the consumers OF
milk IN New-York and Brooklyn.
resolution was also offered by a. = Heath pro
posing that Cooperation Association should he
formed under the laws of the state TO supply the
city with pure milk of unexceptional quail
ity, delivered i'm sealed cans, at u cents
q quart from May to tho last OF
November and ut cents quart during the
other months of the year. These resolutions were
referred to the consideration of committee to re-
port al the next meeting.
London, gave a brief history Of that company
which has been engaged i'll distributing pure mix
in that city for several years Inc company was
started he said, ten years agO. and at the beginning
only supplied two families with milk. IN 1876 the
number of gallons sOli 269 900. and during the
current year will reach 100000.
meeting of the Farmers Club was also held
yesterday at the same place at different hour. a
lecture on MIX was read by DIR. j. Blake White
Milk Inspector of the Board OF Health
The importance of the question of pure milk
appeared he said, In view of the fact
that 75 per cent of the children born in
New-YOrk City were nOurished by means of arti-
fetal food. Tne milk of several cows mixed to-
gether is, rs rule, much better for the purpose
than that of any one COW. The conditions of good
milk are the quantity and quality of the
food fed 10 the cows, exercise water and
temperature, and the cleanliness OF stables. Age,
breed season of the year and other conditions affect
the quality of the milk. The custom of pennng
cows up without exercise, air aud sufficient water,
and feeding them the swill OF dlstleres has pro-
duced serious results. In no case, even where all
other conditions are good, should swIll be used
as food. The best food rs grass, but whatever the
food there should always be abundance
of pure water. Many diseases have been traced
10 contaminated milk. Ii is also well known that
children IN large cities where impure milk is used
are especially liable to epidemic diseases. Much OF
the milk brought into market is diluted. Skim
mng of the cream which contains all ofthe essential
nourIshing qualities Is also practised by some milk
dealers
