Ambulance Calls.
Yesterday morning at 10 o’clock the city ambulance was called to the corner of Eleventh and Cary streets to a white man who had fallen off a step-ladder and received painful though not serious injuries. He was relieved and left with his friends.
Four hours later the ambulance was called to the Tredegar Works to one of the operatives who had his thumb badly cut by a saw. He was left with his friends.
