Miss Esher Brown. lady of color, expired
yesterday at No. 433 East l20th street. What
she died of vas mystery, but her friends bad
suspicion that che wes the victim OF snake,
frog or some semi.anphibious creature which
had for months located in her 7ltals In" d:
ceased herself waS under tho impression that
there Wss denizen in her stomach which was
disposed to be restless, aud which, when other
food was wanting, preyed upon her. This she
told to several friends OF hers and she accounted
for the strange intrusion 10 this way At not
7ory remote date Miss Brown was 10 the coun-
try, and one day while roaming through tho
fields and woods she came upon brook clear
as crystal and exceedingly tempting. Miss
Brown thirsted aod she at ouco quatcd
draught Of the brook water But, alas Miss
Brown never recovered from the effects OF that
drink. A serpent or toad-which she never
learned, but she was positive it was either one
or the other--happeued to be in the water and
slipped down her throat, and from that day her
stomach was the abode of the reptile. Shs
felt it's movements within her, and consulted
physicians without number. The medicines
they prescribed she swallowed, but singularly
enough the creature lived on; gastric juice was
poweress so far as it was concerned and the
strongest emetics failed to move 1t. At length
Miss Brown sickened and died, and Corooer
Woltman was notified Of her demise. Yester::
day his deputy visited the home of the deceased
to make an autopsy. To him the mother OF
Miss Brown stated that the dead woman was
the only one of her nine children who had ever
been sick. Ia her youth she had the small! pox,
and later Oh n life she began to com plain OF
pains in her stomach for which no physclan
could account, She remembered. however,
having drank the water of brook which was
known to contain number Of snakes and liz
ards. A couple of these creatures. 1t was sup
posed, were swallowed, and they at once began
to consume portions of Miss Browo's stomach.
Old Mrs. Brown was positive about tho snakes
She said that when pork, pickles or other VIC
tuas for which they had no relish were eaten
by her daughter the lizard tried to crawl away
and the soakes wrisged about, thereby cau,Iog
the woman iutcusc torture. 1t was dreadful
shock 10 the old coIorcd woman to learn that
Door Esther had no such inmates as were sup
posed to be loo ted iu her stomach and that
consumption, Bright's disease Of the kidney!
and dyspepsia were the causes Of her death, ,aud
