A DYING woMAN'S CHARGES.
The Coroner and Police InvestiSat-
ing Mrs. Rustin's Death.

| Mrs. Minerva Rustin. colored, forty-five
! years old died at the Freedman's Hos
pital yesterday afternoon under circum-
! stances which prompted the doctors at
! that institution to refuse n death certid-
cate, and the matter was reported to the
! Coroner and to the police, who are max
ing an investigation. The sheriff of Han
over County. Va. where it is alleged that
the woman was assaulted. has also been
communicated with by Captain Boardman.
and will investigate the charges made.
Pending the receipt of some message from
him. an Autopsy will be performed upon
the body this morning at the morgue,
where the body was taken last night.
Mrs. Rustin came to this city about two
weeks ago from Old Church Postoffice,
Hanover County, Va, with her step
daughter, Annie. On Tuesday evening the
Board of Charities were called upon for
ambulance to convey the woman from GIL
New Hampshire Avenue, where she was
stopping. to the Freedman's Hospital. a
gerrnit-for her admission to the hospital
having been secured. When she reached
that institution she was in an unconscious
condition ana her case was diagnosed as
one of uterine trouble. She remained un-
conscious until Wednesday evening. when
for time she seemed to regain the use
of her faculties. During this lucid inter
val she told the hospital physicians that
she had had some trouble with her hus-
band. and that he had hit her in the head
and that her head panied her great deal.
She shortly afterward sank into a state
of coma from which she did not rally to
the time of her death, late yesterday
afternoon.
The facts were reported to the Coroner
and TO the police. as the attending physi-
clans did not desire to take the response /
bility of issuing 1 death certificate under /
the circumstances.
Captain Boardman at once assigned sew
eral of his men to the case. with inStruc- /,
tions TO bring. the husband to Police Head /
quarters if he could be located. 1t was not /
until the New Hampshire Avenue house /
was visited that it was learned that the I
alleged offence was not committed within 4
the District, but in the State of Virginia. I
\ telegram was then sent to the sheriff /
of Hanover County. advising him of the |
and asking him what he /
wished done in the matter
Despite the womans statement the
physicians say there are no marks of vo-
lence on the woman's head with the eX-
ception of a slight enlargement on the
right side of the jaw. To settle the que s.
ton as to the cause Of death Deputy Coz
0ner Glazebrook has been directed to hold /
a post mortem examination upon the body
At the norgue this morning.
In the meantime Captain Boardfnan
hopes to hear from the sheriff of Hanover
County as to the circumstances regarding
the case. and what disposition he wishes
made of the body.

REPTILES AGAIN IN CAGES.
Both of Schmid's Bull Snakes Have
Been Recovered

A big Mexican bull snake is again in
captivity at Schmids store. Twelfth near
G. Street northwest. after a month of
unrestrained liberty. Yesterday afternoon
the reptile was captured under a step in
the cellar of the establishment of Nicolai
Bros, Canal and X Streets southwest.
In bag the snake was taken from the
cellar to street car. and thence to Mr..
Schmid. by whom it was loaned for ex-
hibition IN a tent show last July.
About a month ago the police Were ask
ed to look out for two Mexican bull
snakes which had escaped from circus
in Southwest Washington. Every police.
man in the city received description of
the missing snakes, through the medium
of "a general lookout" for their appre-
hension. All eyes were turned toward the
ground fer time. yet nothing was heard
of the missing bun snakes Meanwhile,
the show in which the reptiles had been
exhibited pulled stakes ana went to quar-
tiers unknown. At no time, however, was
the vigilance of the police abated.
negro living in the Southwest section
also remembered about the snakes, and
one afternoon two weeks ago he happened
upon one of the reptiles The snake was
wrigglng in the weeds along the river
shore. Nothing daunted. the negro picked
il up and put it in bag, which he car
ried carefully to the store of Mr..
manned at large until yesterday. Then
somebody was badly frightened by seeing
il under the cellar step, in the Nicolai
establishment. a messenger informed the
Fourth precinct police, and word was sent
to the Schmid store An emplove there
was despatched to investigate and ended
by capturing the snake and removing it
TO the store. The snake is worth so.

CRESCEUS LED WITH EASE.
Lord Derby Unable 10 Race kctch-
ANS Fast stallion.

READVILLE. Mass, Aug. 22.-The
worlds champion, Cresceus, was the
drawing card at the harness races today.
There was no hope that Lord Derby and
Charley Herr would give the champion IA
race. but the crowd simply wanted to see
Ketcham's great racer trot.
The race was little more than an ex-
hibition. Charley Herr, dead lame. was
distanced in the first heat. Geers did not
attempt 10 drive Lord Derby TO his limit
in the first round, simply trailing the
chestnut stud, who stepped an easy milo
in 2:07H. In the second heat KeJcham al
lowed his horse the first half In only
I:0ih. white Gees traiied two lengths
back.
Lord Derby moved up on the far turn,
and entering the stretch the pair were
on even terms. Ketcham merely let out
a wrap on two and with Gcers driving the
Mambrino King gelding. they stepped the
third quarter in y seconds. The clip in
creased down the stretch. but at the dis
lance Lord Derby had shot his bolt tumb-
ling over into a bad break while Cresceus
went on and stepped the last quarter in
y 80 seconds His mile in 2:Oi lowered

Following the accident the body re-
manned upon the tracks just as it fell

light bed ticking.
The accident occurred on the side of
the hill overlooking the city and just be
