NEW YORK BUREAU OF THE TIMES,
December gth, 1879.
Mr. John II. lnman, the president Of th'
, Richmond Terminal Railroad, has accepte,
the presidency Of the Richmond ana Dan
vile Railroad. Mr. Iuman says that prs
Nious 10 this time there was a minority i'm
terested in the Danyille Company that neces
STATED a separate management Of the tw,
companies, but as the Richmond Termina
has now acquired the entire interest in th'
Danville road. the way is clear for one
management OF both companies. \ single
head will naturally bring the wocompanie'
into more harmonious relations, and will
, in the end, make possible a large saving il
operating expenses. At present the two
roads. and also the Georgia Pacific, whicl
il controlled by the Terminal Company
requires separate heads Of department,
and clerical forces. but with the companies
under one management, a large number o
these can be dispensed with, and conse.
quent saving elected. .

pear To discriminate concerning "intants

PLANTATION OF section which makes IL teach

FAIrH-CURE FANATICS.
The faith-curc fanatics are giving tho
Brooklyn health board no end OF trouble.
Dr. Bierwth. of III Montague street, who
j. the physician 10 the Society for the Pre-
yention Of Cruelty 10 Children, was visited
hy John Jansen. Of 1866 Henry street. who
asked him 10 20 and see his child, who was
i'll.
II don believe in doctors on medicine"
Ice said. "but ! would like 10 have you visit
the child"
The doctor saw at once that the man WAS
a faith-curst, and that his only object in
calling on him was to keep within the law
requiring thar "a physician shall be- sum-
mOned twcnty-four hours before death.
"Nill you pay me for my scryiccsW
asked DR.. Berwith.
"Ncs, indeed" replied Jansen.
"Will YOU give the medicine that | pre-
-cribe'r
"No, will not: don't believe in mcdi-
cine. God will take care Of the child
Dr. Bierwiih tried 10 reason with him,
but 10 no purpose, and at last refused 90 ac-
company the man. Then be- went next
door 10 the Office of the society for the Pre-
,enti0n Of Cruelty 10 Children and taking
one OF the officers with him went t0Jan-cn'a
house Ile found that the child WAS suffer
ing from scarlet fever and that diphtheria
was impending. The child'- mother was
suffering from diphtherin. lie prescribed
for the child. but he could not See any in
dicatiOus that his Instructions would hc
carried out. H. also offered to prescribe for
the mother but she Indignantly refused ~
have ANYTHING tO do with either him or his
medicine. The health board had the
patients taken 10 the county hospital. and
Jansen will be- prosecuted under the Law
that provides that no one shall endan.cr
the public health.
The case was brought up ia court IN
BROOKLYN to-day, and John Jansen. Maria
Peterson and Anna Jansen were bailcd in
500 each. The extreme penalty for each
Ohense ], one year in the pcntentlary and
$500 fine. and. il convicted. IL Is likely that
they will suffer the extreme penalty ot the
law. rs the authorities are determined 10
protect the people from such pests As these.
jansen stands a good chance Of getting two
wears at least. The women were Of the
peasant class in their native country.
They would pass in general style OF dre,s
and conduct for member Of the salvation
Army. Jansen was much more intelligent
looking than they and was well and neatly
dressed. lie was asked what be intended
TO do. lit is all with God"
Don't YOU intend 10 made any deienscf'
'God will provide"
suppose YOU get a couple Of years IN The
penitentiaryW
III God 80 wills it i all the same 10 me:
he will look out for our bodies in sickness.
lie will take care Of US in prison.
III YOU had an arm cut OF would you do
nothing 10 help Yourself -
NO. If God had our arms cut on, God
would take care Of the wound. II he will
ed us 10 die, We would; II not, we would
get WELL"
Jansen would say nothing about himself
farther than that he had been in this cOun-
try three years.
