DIED IN AN AMBULANCE.
William Jackson Supposed to Have
Been Crushed BY Elevator.

William w. Jackson, colored, died while
in an ambulance on the way TO the Emer-
gency Hospital last evening, as a result of
injuries received while moving a trunk
from an elevator in the basement of the
Sherman Apartment House, corner of 18th
and l. streets northwest. The police of the
second precinct report that Jackson re-
ceived his injuries by being caught be-
tween the elevator and the wall at the
bottom of the shaft on the basement floor
a few minutes before o'clock. None of
the employees at the house would say how
the unfortunate man was hurt, and the
elevator conductor stated that the car was
not in motion at the time.
DR. Stuart responded to the call with the
ambulance from the Emergency Hospital,
but Jackson was dead before that institu-
ton was reached on the return trip. Jack
sons death was probably caused by a
fracture of the skull at the base of the
brain. He was about fifty-five years of age
and resided at J04 18th street northwest.
Coroner hewitt, who was notified of the
accident. made investigation and gave
a certificate of accidental death.

SHE TOOK POISON.
But the Stomach Pump Was Used t.
ADVANTAGE

l4avinia Neal. colored, twenty-siN years
of age. an inmate of 204 18th street north
west. was removed to the Emergency Hos
pital from that house about Gas o'clock
last evening in an unconscious condition.
Dr. ID. I. Stuart of the hospital staff, after
making an examination, was convinced that
the woman had taken poison, but what
KIND he was unable TO ascertain. There
was strong odor of whisky on her breath.
The stomach pump was used to advantage
and the woman left the hospital later in
the night.
No reason can be assigned for her taking
the poison. and ii was said she had had no
trouble with any one. The woman was
taken sick about o'clock in the afternoon
and attracted the attention of other inmates
of the house by screaming at the top of her
voice. She paid no attention to questions
asked as to what was the matter with her
and nothing was thought of her behavior
until she became unconscious, and then Po-
liceman Owens was informed of the case.
The officer on arriving at the house took in
the situation at a glance and summoned
the ambulance from the Emergency Hos
pital, which removed the woman to that
institution.
bottle containing gin was found in the
ROOM as was also small bottle which had
been shattered by a fall to the floor 1t
is thought the broken bottle had contained
the DOiSOn.

An Unwholesome Market Practice.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Being resident of the northwestern sec
ton of the city and regular patron of
the street market | have had occasion
time without number; in fact, every mar
ket day, to notice the salespeople, especially
those who have vegetables of their own
raising from the adjoining districts, carry
from the drinking fountain, intended for
animals exclusively, bucketful after
bucketful of water, and throw on their
vegetables to freshen them. This certainly
Is a very dangerous practice. To say moth
ing of horses that may be affected with
some disease. We have not infreuuently
noticed owners of pet dogs putting them
in the same basin at monday. A few steps
further down the street on the same block
is an artesian well supplying water of un-
surpassed excellence. Why do the market
people not procure their supply at its
mouth? There certainly is sufficient sick
ness on every hand without taking addi-
tional risks. No doubt the same practices
prevail contiguous to other markets in this
city. Would it not be advsa BILE for the
health authorities to pay some attention
to what might prove a very serious menace

week ago. The letter Of resignation follows:
Board Of Education of the District OF
Columbia,

Washington. ID. G. June -. 1892.
Gen. III. V. Boynton. President of the
Board of Education
MY Dear Gen. Boynton: | have the
honor TO tender my resignation as director

In terminating my connection with the
public schools of Washington l wish To
express TO you my warm appreciation pf
the many kindnesses. both personal ana
official. which / have received from You,
as well my admiration of YOUR unSslfish
courage in your effort to free the schools
from demoraliZing influences. Ii has been
a pleasure to work with you, and il is with
deep regret that / sever our relations.
am, my dear Gen. Boynton. sincerely yours.
FRANCIS II. LANE
DR.. Lane has been connected with the
schools of the District for nearly score
of years. He is a graduate of Dartmouth
College. 1t was not without great reluct-
ance that DIR. Lane reached the conclusion
to leave Washington. Several weeks ago
he was proffered the head of the academic
department of the Polytechnic Institute Of
Brooklyn. The offer was accompanied 10y
salary considerably greater than the one
he receives director of the High Schools
here.
DR.. Lane went to Brooknlyn to confer
with the officers and directors of the Poly
technic Institute. He asked for time to
consider the proposition and the result was
that yesterday he concluded TO accept. This
is only one of many advantageous offers Br.
Lane has had from other cities during the
past few years, each one OF which ne de-
clined, feeling loath to leave Washington.
Gen. Boynton Expresses Regret.
General Boynton, discussing DIR. Lanes
retirement today, said:
II deeply regret that this distinguishes
and learned man has decided to give mp his
work in this city. Brooklyn will secure not
only an able and useful educator but
man who is in every sense of the term a
good citizen. His services to the public
school system of Washington have been
very valuable, and it is largely through his
efforts that the standard of our city schools
is everywhere recognized as way above the
average. So highly is DIR. Lane thought of
here that a number Of prominent citizens
offered to subscribe the amount of differ
ence in the salary which was paid 10 him
here and what he will get i'm Brooklyn"
Among the persons mentioned the pos
sible successor of DR.. Lane is Prof. Percy
NJ. Hughes, principal of the Central High
School
