AN OVERDOSE OF BROMIDIA.
The Sad Death Of Mr.. Melville C.. Shin.
ster.

A powerful dose Of bromid:a, taken to calm
disturbed nerves, was the cause Of Mr.. Melville
@. Shuster's death last night Shortly after s
O'Clock Mr.. Shuster, then on his way home, en-
tered Appler's restaurant in Georgetown and
ordered wine. He engaged in conversation
with the bartender and was as bright and pleas
ant as usual He left the place but soon re-
turned and requested permission to rest in q
room behind the bar. The privilege was 40
corded him and occasional chances at him, after
he sat down in . chair, gave reasonable ground
for the supposition that he was asleep. The
attention Of Mr.. Appler was first called to Mr..
Shuster when the latter fell out of the chair
and remained PROSTATE and helpless upon the
moor. No one present could understand the
nature OF the stupor which afflicted the unfor-
tunate man. Mr.. Cresswell, q clerk in Crop
leys drug store, came in and discovered an
empty bottle labelled "Bromidia," and the
whole matter was at once explained.
Medical aid was at once summoned and every
enort was made to give tone to the relaxed
nervous system. Drs. Peter, Mackall and
Iarnau did all that was possible to rouse their
patient, but without avail, and at twelve min
utes past 10 O'Clock the stertorous breathing
ceased and the Inconsistencies was made per-
manent
The coroner was notified and the body was
removed to the residence of the deceased's
family, 1921 N street.
WHAT DIR PETER SAYS.
DR.. Peter is the Shuster family physician,
and he said that he was certain that death was
the result Of the ignorance of the deceased as
TO the deadly power Of large dose Of bromidia.
"For some few days past" said the doctor,
MIR. Shuster has been very well, indeed, but
previous to that he was extremely nervous.
For this he was treated with bromidia. I pre-
sumo another Of those nervous spells came on
and he endeavored to cure himself"
MIR. Shuster was well known IN this city, being
a member of the firm of William NJ Shuster 4
Sons, dry goods dealers, at 919 Pennsylvania
avenue. He was in the fortieth year Of his age
NO INQUEST.
Coroner Patterson saw the body this morning
and said he deemed an inquest unnecessary,
whereupon DR.. Peter gave certificate cf death
which ascribes the cause to an overdose of
bromidia.
The funeral will take place from st. Johns
church, Georgetown, at 3 p. m. Sunday.

Gone to Philadelphia to be Married.

John NJ. Hauree, Of Pennsylvania, was
brought from Woodbridge ON the Alexandria
and Fredericksburg railroad to the station
house in Alexandria yesterday evening by
Lieut.. James Smith, Of the Alexandria police
force. The prisoner wasaccompanied by Mag
gle fancy, with whom he had left Phenixville,
Pa, and by Geo. w. fancy, the girls father,
who had charged Hauree, as telegraphed to
The STAR yesterday, with the abduction of his
daughter. The girl acquitted Hauree of alb
duction ard said she had freely gone with him.
Hauree declared that they had run off together
to get married, but that on arriving in Virginia
they found that as the girl was under age and
both non-residents, he could not get a marriage
license. He gave no reason why he did not
marry the girl in this city, where there would
have been no difficulty in getting license.
He professed his willingness to carry out his
engagement to marry Miss fancy on their re-
turn to Philadelphia, and the father, having
given his consent, the bridal party left for
Philadelphia and passed through this city on
the evening train.
