A Charge OF Selling Unwholesome 1rilk n
Sustained In Court

A Charge OF Selling Unwholesome 1rilk Not
Sustained In Court
This morning in the Police Court Prosecuting
Attorney Mullowney called for trial the case Of
Mr.. John b Phillips. the dairymau charged
with selling unwholesome milk. The charge
brought by Mrs. Ceiynda W. Ford was to tho
effect that the milk was impregnated with an
unwholesome substance called colostrum.
Lawyer Shillington. for the defendant, en-
tered plea Of not guilty to the first charge
brought under the law.
Mr.. Mullowuey in calling tho attention Of the
jury to the case stated that he expected to
show that the milk contained colostrum. He
cause death, but he did claim that if a healthy
person drank 1t it would probably cause illness.
Mrs. Ford testified to the purchase of milk
from the defendant, who, she said, had been
serving her with milk for three or four years.
She said that her attention was first called to
the milk by the housekeeper.
On cross-examination she said she noticed
globulcs of blood in the milk. She took it to
the chemist for an investigation.
Mrs. Harring ton. who lives on 9Th street
northeast, ut No. III. testified that on the 18th
OF the month she also got milk from the de-
PENDANT that looked like what Mrs Ford had
purchased Witness said that she was sick at
the time and WINS milk diet She drank
some Of the milk and she felt worse after drink
ing 1t. She complained that the milk did not
taste good, but the folks at the house thought
il was because she was sick.
Mr.. Richards, chemist of the internal revenue
bureau, testified that he made the analysis OF
the milk furnished by Mrs. Ford. Witness gave
his result of the analysis, and said that he
found colostrum cells and blood in the milk.
Witness explained that colostrum was a SUBJ
stance intended purgative. The milk in
question, witness said, was above the standard
in quality.
DR.. Frederick Of Capitol Hill was the last
witness called by the government and he gave
evidence as to the effect of the use of coostrum.
. THE DEFENSE.
The defendant testified in his own behalf that
he always served good milk and takes every
precaution against milk from fresh COWS getting
into the milk for delivery. He said he had no
fresh cows on his farm about tho time the milk
in question was sold.
He never sells milk from q fresh COW for ten
days or two weeks alter the birth of the calf
The defendants father, who lives ON the
farm, gave similar testimony, as did several
employees.
MIR. ShiNington then called q number of the
defendants customers who spoke highly of the
character of the milk served by Mr.. Phillips.
None OF them had ever received anything but
pure milk from him.
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY.
After argument by counsel the Judge
charged the jury, who rendered a verdict Of
not guilty.

AFamIIy Reunion.

The home of Mr.. William Berkey in
Stoyestown was the scene Of a very interest
ing event on Tuesday, August 4th. The oc-
casion was Mr.. Berkey's 6s birthday, and
the members of his family quietly arranged
for pleasant surprise, and at the same time
for general family reunion.
The appearance of five or six carriages be
fore the door on Tuesday morning was the
first intimatioD of anything unusual at the
old home. Ii was not long, however, until
the unlimited though not unwelcomed guests
filed the house. Four sons and four daught-
ers who with their families made a COM
pany of thirty-seven, came TO make the day
one long 10 be remembered The happy
father after receiving the congratulations and
good wishes of all was seated in beautiful
easy chair, the gift of his boys, while the
ladies of the party brought well filed baskets
and large extension table which was soon
filed with the choicest Yiands and delicaeies
Of the farm and grocery together could con-
tribute. A photographer from Johnstown,
took a picture of this happy group, and
then all gathered around the prepared feast
to which ample justice was done. The day
was spent most pleasantly and in the even
ing the company separated with the hope
that Father and Mother Berkey might live
long to enjoy many similar occasions. They
are both in the enjoyment Of good health,
but are now left alone. all the children hav-
ing been married. Six Of the sons and
daughters live on farms about Stoyestown.
The youngest son is the present County Su-
periniendent Of schools, and the youngest
daughter was lately married to Mr.. OFT of
Johnstown. FRIEsD.

Old Sol on a Ramnare.

From the Record, Tuesday.
The sun put on his best bib and tucker
yesterday, and started in to shine royalty in
any kind Of society. In order 10 do the
thing up in proper style he took along Miss
Humidity, and the way that pair did cut ca
Pers as they strolled arm in arm over PhiIa-
delphia was terrifying. There has not been
as hot an August day for Il years as yester-
day.
Shortly after noon the sun climbed I'D TO
% degrees, and Miss Humidity modestly
remained at 80 degrees. From all indica-
tons at the Weather Bureau the worst has
not yet been seen. At any rate, the wealth
er will be excessively warm for several days
yet, and those who do not take kindly to
the roasting baking, blistering dog-days
would do well to dig up their savings and
flee to the mountains or seashore.
Those who do go to escape the hot wealth
er can make up their minds TO stay, too.
for the weather sharps of Uncle Jerry Rusk
predicts that the entire month will be away
above the average August in point OF
heat. There will probably be slight periods
of refreshing cOolness following violent cleo
tric storms, bat Uncle Jerry is not so sure of
this; therefore it will not do to be counted
on.
