He brought sult against the New York Centra! and Hudson River Railroad Company, clatming $20,000 damages. The case was tried yesterday belore Judge Speir, of the Superior Court. The detence—the answer being verified oy Mr. C. C, Clarke, treasurer of the company—was contributive negligence on the part o: Mr. Suther- land. While the piaimtif swore positively that tue engineer ueither rang his bell nor whistied as a caution to persons crossing the street, tie engineer, & baggageman and otuers testi- fed as positively thas =the bell was rung and the alarm whisvie sounded.

Upon these precauttons largely depend the safety of tne cily and the immanity of our citizens trom epl- demics originating in tropical lands, The meas- ures adopted to stamp out yellow fever or cholera found existing on board vessels arriving from the South American and Gulf coasts or the Windward Islands should be not only thorough but of @ character to inspire confidence in the minds of the people. A reporter of the HeRa.p called yesterday upon Dr. Moshier, the Assistant Health Officer, with a view of ascertaining his views on the dangers of the coming season, and the means taken to pre- vent an epidemic, Dr. Moshier saia the precau- tions that had already been taken were pretty much the same as those employed in previous yeurs. Thus far the only detentions had been of two vesseis from Para, Brazil, on board which deaths from sellow fever had occurred during the voyage. This was about two weeks then bonew cases had occurred. The first iti, mation of the appearance of yellow fever at Key West and Pensacola had created some uneasine: among the heaith oMvcers, and vessels coming from those ports were rigorously watched, bat since then thetr anxiety had somewhat abated, although the strict watcn over these vessels was still kept up. THE DANGERS OF THE SEASON. From Dr. Moshier’s further statements it appears that the hospital snip Illinois went down to the lower bay a few days ago and that vesse's from the West Indies will be being examined at the boarding station. The usual precautions taken during the summer monihs woula appear to be sufficient when the favorable results of the past few years are consid- ered, and the only additional safeguard adopted by Dr. Vanderpoel is the personal inspection of the crews as Well as of the passengers. This 1s now done on all vessels coming from the Gulf ports, and it is thought that the introduction of intec- | vious disease will thereby be rendered still more improbable. understood that the Health OMicer thinks that the coming season points to any dangers otaer than those irom yellow tn regard to the latter he stated that there is no possibility of predicting the frequency with which | it may make its Appearance on the vesseis reach- ing this port. It 18 gratifying, at ail events, that there is no danger from cholera ¢n18 season, as the cholera epidemic seems to have entirely died out, Last summer there were a few deatns from cholera on Calcutta vessels, but all the deatns occurred be- fore the ships reached this port, Dr, Mosbier 1s of the opinion that the direct importation of cholera | | by way of the st Indies has always been pre- vented by the excellent vessels In that trade. THB AVAILABLE HOSPITALS, ‘The Liloois bas been fittea up this season espe- cially a8 @ boarding station, and, jor cases of | emergency, to be also used as a hospital.

Mucu can be done by way of cleanliness and discipiine {o prevent disease. Dr. Moshier says that (he Havana steamers rarely ever have | cases of yellow lever, because their captains de- yote special attention to cieanliness. Their ex- | amp:y is worthy of geveralim tation.

Apropos of the em- oi cleanliness Dr. Mosnier tetis & very good story, The Atianuc Mail line ran for years between Havana ana New York during the sickly Seasous and never had & case of Sickness. One ol tae ships of that line being disaded, however, the managers chartered a ship celon.sing f0 another line, and on her arri- she had ten cases of yellow fever aboard. It im aD extremely dirty con- cing positively choked up Another case point occarred two yearsago. A schooner arrived here irom Havana Which Bad | | of ber crew irom yellow Jever.

Mr. Moshier recommenus that captains should not allow their crews to sleep on deck while at Havana, a8 the bigot air is partially liavie to hreed the miasma, Cansing contagious diseases, nor shoud iney allow them to drink aguaediente; but, on the contrary, teey snoull be required to sleep in their usual bertas in the forecastie, and personal cleanjiness and regular hours and habits, eniorced not only while im port, buat during the en- tire passage. In cases oi yellow iever prompt treatment is required, cata: ‘Sweating’ and the other means usually empioyed by sagacious captains being judicious. There ts no disease in Which so inuch 4d can be done by eariy and so little by tardy trea'ment as yellow tever. THE HISTORY OF QUAUANTINE. The history of quaractine im New York is very Interesting.

WHAT THE CHARITY COMMISSIONERS WILL DO | TO CORRECT THE ABUSES—RESULTS OF THE HERALD'S EXPOSE—A THOROUGH INVESTIGA- | TION AND SPEEDY REFORMS PROMISED. It 18 20 CXaggelation to say that the gross | abuses in the Workaoouse on Blackwell's Island, as exposed in the HeRALD, nave become the ‘ral oftne town.” As one of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction incidentally rewarked | yesterday, “Wherever I have gone to it nas been the all-absorbing topic of the day.” One question day betore yesterday was, “What wilt it all | amount to? Will the Commisstoners of Charities do their part as the Heap has done its?” There seems to bo a good deal of scepticism in this regard, and many people sneer at the good | intentions of the “reform board” of Charities and Correction. Hence it was important to ob- tain some expitett utterances on this subject of Workhouse reforms from the Commissioners, so | A@ to determine whether some practical good ts | | really to flow from the HERALD’s revelations, that | were procured with so much personal sunering — and hardship. A reporter of this journal called | upon the Commissioners yesterday for this pur- — pose, and in the course of a long conversation with the leading members of the Board received | tne most indubitable assurances of i THEIR SINCERITY AND EARNESTNESS in this important matter. So fraternal and cordial | 1s the feeling between the Commissioner in ques- | tion and his associates that he was even loath to authorize the use of bis name, being afraid that | by so doing he might thrust himself tmprop- erly before the public, to the prejudice of nis colleagues. However, he assured the writer that he gave him not his indl- members of the Board, so that the conversation given below isto be regarded as an anthorized pubiication of the opinions of the Commisston. It | first step in the right direction that has already | been taken was to appoint mr. McDonald, hitherto | @ Keeper of the Penitentiar) the Workhouse, during the further illness of Mr, Keen, the Warden. Mr. McDonald Is said to bea | in the Workhouse uatil ihe reorganization con- | templated by the Roara shall have been carried | into effect, | AN INVESTIGATION PROMISED, | “Commissioner, how is it that these abuses have | rd is animated by j | been allowed to existe if the Bi a desire to weed them out?”” “Ah, you must remember that it is very dim- cult for us 10 Hud them ont,” the Commissioner replied, withasmue. ‘‘Whenevel we go to the in. | stitations these keepers are all on their good be- havior. ‘eit not for sach effective means as those employed by the HERALD reporter we might go on for years without learuing of these viol tions of the ru of the Commission, for that | what these ‘avuses’ are.’ “Have you determined upon tne proper reme- dies in every case now brou:ht to your notice”? “tT aon'’t believe in the system of making great romises. Let our acts speak lot themseives. ut of one thing you May rest assured—rnot there is not @ polut your reporter has toucbed upon which Will not be the sudject of prompt, carelul and thorough investigation.” } THE CESSPOOLS IN THE CELLS. | “Whas do you mean todo about tne bad sanitary @ cells, the open cesspoois, | I'm afraid that, as far as this evili—and I ad- mit toat it isagreat One—s concerned, nathing can be done to remedy it short ol a compiete over- | hauling Oo! the enure premises.” | «Wil you do that, Commissioner | “Well, 1don’t know; we can’t do ft unless we get the mopey, and the cost would be considera- Die. You see, even now, toe HeRALD is censuring us for Spending too mucn money.’’ “Why is it necessary to ‘overhaul! the entire premises’ to remedy this great sapitary de- teiency*” | “Well, the building 18a very old one, and no proper provistous for th the stare, m convineed that no such buailaing could be erected at ti ume apywhere, sence of these necessary previgious in this oid struc snows the progress we have made in tae geae'a! application O1 the principles Of cleanline and humanity.” | THE BLACK MARIA. “Now, as to tlhe baa ven'liauion and the over- | crowaing of the Black Mariat”’ “it bas always seemed to mc a very dungeon- | hike venicle, but as to the bad smells and noxious exiiaiativns, | am afratd you canuot remove these until you pave proviaed that ail vagrants ang drunkards sent to tae Workaouse shal be cloan and weil aressed.” . “And the beating of prisouers by the keepers?’ THE WORST ABUSES. “There ts no regulation of the Board which recognizes of allows any Sach outrageous punt meat in tae institutions under our care. Poere qui suMcient moses of punishment that a recognized by us 10 ntain strict discipline. Another gross violation of our cules was that th reporter-prisoner Was not washed, thoroug: washed ana scrabbed, immediately on bis arrival This should be done wita every prisoner. He should pe asked ir had avy dtaease and if he says ‘yes,’ placed at once in charge of the doctor, who can examine him and isolate him at once from the prisuners whe are weil, by sending him to the huspital. Ail these precau- | ons were overiooked, as the HERALD’S expos snowed, althougo trey are of the greatest impur- | tance in preserving the health and cleanliness of | the inmates.” . | | “And as Lo the deprivation of the reporter's un- derwear, by which he might have contracted a dangerous cold *” WHAT THE BOARD WILL Do. | “The keep-r had not @ vestige of authority to take it a except iit had been dirty, when he svould have sent it to the washtouse and rhor- ougtly sowked and washed it. All that was very Wrong, and the Board will take care to romedy it. We cannot be there to see that all these toings | are done, but we can put somebody im charge who | will see to it, Mr. Keen, the warden of the work 8 arigid d.sciminarian; but he has veen for some weeks, anda chat, perhaps. ac- : very iil 4 counts, in & measnre, lor the iailure of the oMctuls to do their duty.

In answer to Jommissioners (eit HERALDS aid, he replied: don’t know if we can make it a model workhouse, t we shuil at all events make it decent one. Nu keeper can be allowed to beat a prisoner, or to say @ profane or vulgar word in his presence. | don’t think there’s any necessity of brutal: opie because they are in the Workhouse, nuk We can teaco our subordinates to treat the prison With humane coosiueration,” |A NEWARK HOUSE OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
