Death Rate Reduced Thirty Per Cent.
Since Passage of Act of 1891.

London - What wonderfully
healthy place London would appear to
be In spite of it's black spots is shown
by striking report from the pen of
Sir Shirley Murphy, medical officer of
health for London county. In compar-
ing London with other towns, how
ever, it should be remembered that
the metropolis has health act passed
in 1891, which gives the local authori-
ties far greater powers than those
possessed by the sanitary districts In
the provinces.
How valuable, indeed, how neces.
sary are these powers. is proved by
Sir Shirley Murphy's statement that
since the act was passed the London
death rate has diminished by over 80
per cent. and that this means a saving
In each OF the last two years of over
$4,000 lives. which, in its turn, means
an addition to the life capital of Lon.
don of three-quarters of million
years. The London death rate is for
the year under review 1871 per 1000,
which is less than that of any other
town with more than 100000 inhab.
itants, except Bristol and Leicester.
An analysis of the London figures,
however reveals that the changes of
life are much greater in some parts
of the metropolis than in others. The
death rate varies from ga in Hemp.
stead to 2O7 in Finsbury. The infant
mortality figures tell the same story,
the death rate being n per 1000 for
children under one year in Hampstead

John McCoy's Team Goes Over the
Cliff and is Probably Lost.

We have just received notice of a
peculiar accident that occurred at
Whitewater on the 31st Of January.
John Mccoy, a well known teamster,
was driving his team, g Sscod yoke
of oxen, along the road in the yicin-
1ty of the Whitewater Falls, when
the team lost their footing and were
precipitated over the cliff into the
depths below. The wagon Is a COM
plete wreck 800 feet below the place
where the team went over, and the
oxen are about $50 feet below, not
materially injured, save that one OF
them lost both horns in his rapid
descent. There Is no way to bring
the oxen back to the upper world
without making an almost endless
detour of miles and miles around
the precious heights, and 1t Is then
doubtful IL the steers could be got
ten up without some kind of as
sistance, as the gulch into which
they fell is walled in on all sides by
almost perpendicular mountainsides
that almost preclude the possibility
of godd mountain climber ascend
ing or descending in safety. The
cause of the accident was that the
sheet of ice, and the team lost their
footing. Mccoy jumped as his team
and wagon weat over and saved him
self. Some time after the accident
q neighbor who came tn the assist
ance of Mccoy In his dilemma took
trip across the icy road at the
point where the team met with dis
aster, but he took Nhe preeaution
to pass it on his hands and knees.
Mccoy is we'll known here, though
his home is lin Transylvania county,
North Carolina. For long time he
was connected with the livery sta
bles at this place, and Is known as
an expert, though rather reckless
and daring driver. He was {unhurt
by the accident, except that he re-
ceived a few slight bruises when he
jumped from his mountain schooner.
