ton at TarrytOWn.
TARRYTowN, N. Y, June 5, 1894 There
is unusual excitement today in and about
the Home of the Catholic Sisters of Mercy
in this place on account of the wholesale
poisoning of the inmates, who are homeless
children.
Drs. Coutant, Fleming and Camp were
hastily summoned to the institution last
night to attend about a dozen boys, whose
ages ranged from FIVE to, twelve years, who
were suffering from symptoms of poisoning.
The boys complained Of violent pains in the
stomach, and some of them vomited freely.
Investigation showed that during yester-
day afternoon, while the boys were out on
the playground of the institution they had
eaten a poisonous herb, which they found
growing on the premises. The doctors
worked with the boys all night, but in spite
of their professional skill five Of the little
sufferers died. Seven are now in a critical
condition, and some Of them are likely to
die.
Coroner Apgar of Peekskill was notified
and has ordered an autopsy to be made in
each case.

TIE EYESIGHT OF MoT0RMEN.
Examination BY An Oculist Neees
sary Before Given a Position.

General Manager David Young, Jr., to-
day issued orders that all the motormen en-
ployed by the Consolidated Traction Com
pany in the City of Newark to present
themselves to the ~cofnpany's physician and
undergo an examination for the purpose of
ascertaining whether there was. any defect
in their sight. The reason for the examina-
ton is that it has been discovered that at
least some of the accidents in New
ark which have occurred have been
due to detective eyesight on the
part of the man running the car.
Motormen contend that their position is
far more responsible b that OF a
locomotive engineer. The locomotive engi-
neer has a clear track to run and a chance to
see obstacles along distance off, while a man
running a street car has no chance at all. In
order to make up his time he must go at a
high speed when he sees fifty feet of clear
track ahead of him Twenty times in a
SINGLE Tip he,has to4.run up within half a
dozen feet of the rear end Of trucks. At
street crossings he has to calculate the speed
of an approaching wagon, and regulate the
speed of his own car SO that the wagon may
cross ahead of him; q mistake OF a fraction
of a minute may result in a collision. The
same thing is true regarding pedestrians. lie
must see people IN the curb starting to cross
the street, and m u judge whether walking
at the rate they are they will get across be-
fore his car reaches them. LII he miscalcu-
1ates their speed or his own he Is liable to run
them down. Such accidents are numerous.
1t was learned this morning thai this order
does not apply to Jersey City. Seven weeks
ago tho motormen of this city were examined
as to their eyesight. 1t could not be learned
inst how many of the men were found to
have defective eyesi ght, but the number was
large. Several were found to be color blind.
There were several cross-eyed men also, aid
experiments made with them showed that
they were totally unfit to run q car. Their
range of vision was not sufficient, and they
could not calculate distance. There were
other men who suffered the same as the man
who had had the accident and others whose
affection was exactly the reverse. Objects
which were at a distance appeared to be
nearer than they really were. All these
men whose sight was Gun to be defective
were taken of the cars. Some of them were
discharged and some of them were set at
other work. Officials say that the average
Of monthly accidents was largely reduced
after the examinations.
The possibility that accidents might be
caused by the defective sight OF the motor
men was suggested by an accident which oc-
Cured here. In this case q wagon was run
into. overturned and smashed. The motor
man was called before Mr.. Young the next
dav and told his story OF how 1t happened

differed in the matter of the distance there

mans eyes didn't look exactly right and he
asked him questions about his sight. The
man said he never knew there was anything
the matter with it, and he picked out vari-

dered him to go to an oculist and have his
eyes examined. He did, and it was found
that all objects appeared to him to be much
farther away than they were. For instance,
the wall of the room he was in appeared to
be fifteen feet further off than it was.
When the oculist made his report, Mr..
Young issued his order regarding all the
