The New York Central Railroad has perfected a plan to minimize loss of life and the extent of injuries to those hurt {n accidents on the road by employing sixty surgeons whose first duty it will be to proceed to the scene of an acci- dent and give succor to the injured. The surgeons ave to be under contract to the road. They will reside’all along the line, so that they may be reached at once. Each physician will have charge of a section. ‘The station mas- ters will be kept posted as to the where- abouts of their respective paysicians, so that they may reach them by wire at any time, These surgeons wil] also be expected to respond to calls where passengers on the road are taken {Il and to attend employees as well. It is hoped in this way that many lives may 6e saved, and very often crushed limbs, being prop- erly attended to within a short time ot their being Injured, may not have to be amputated. Lessen Number of Injuries, While the burden of the expense will ‘de large, the road thinks {t will pay, for not only will they lessen the num- ber of seriously injured, and therefore the amount of damages which may be claimed, but they will also have their own surgeons as witnesses, as a check on those who may attempt to ex- aggerate the nature of their injuries. It has also been ordered that u {ull Kit of surgeon's tools be carried on every train, so that If there be a wr- Seon on coard at the time of an accident he wil have all the facilities for givin relief that ke would have were he felled rofeerional capacity. ‘Train hands are also receiving instruc tion in first aid to the Injured. ctures: are being &iVven on this subject by ex- perts in the Railroad Y.

He ts very hepeful ‘that much beneftt will’ come of it. ‘The idea,” sald Mr. Dwyer, “Is to have on every section of our roads a surgeon who Is within easy reach and Upon whom we can call in case of emer- gency. Of course every physician is bound by the Hippocratic oath to give aid In case of an accident, but these surgeons are employed and pald by the comupny, and it will be thelr duty to drop everything else and hasten to the scene of any accident that may occur. “In this way we hope in many oases to save lives or to lessen the effects of injuries by saving limbs and to give speedy relief to the suffering.” — WELSH'S LIFE WAS THREATENED Annual Sale of Ladies’ Gloves, Three Thousand Dozen Pairs, including Fownes’, Jouvin's and other well-known manufactures, x and 2 clasp and 2 button. . “La Perle” pique sewn, real kid,—Jouvin’s 4 button Suede, Kid, Suede and Nappa Gloves,—pique sewn or overseam, Paris Point Embroideries,—self and white stitching. - Complete range of sizes, Colors:—Tan, Mode, Beaver, Brown, Gray, Green, Blue, Pearl, White and Black. 1,00 per pair, Misses’ Gloves, for street and evening dress, 85 cents per pair.
