DIED FROM HYDROPHOBIA.
Decision In Marsh Case-Doctor In
fected At the Autopsy.

New York, May 21.-That William
Fl. Marsh, the well-to-do Brooklyn
water metre manufacturer, who died
Wednesday was Il victim of hydrophO-
bia. was the decision of Coroner Hen
ry Brewer, after an autopsy perform
ed Thursday under his direction, after
the Brooklyn health department had
refused to grant a permit fob Mr..
Marsh's burial until the cause of his
death had been thus decided.
The autopsy was productive of an
unusual incident. During the course of
the examination DR.. Ira Van Giessen,
an expert on hydrophobia of the New
York Board of Health, who was as
sisting, became infected with the
rabies germs. A small scratch appear
cd on his arm, believed to have been
inflicted with a portion of skull
bone. An examination disclosed that
the rabies germ had entered DR.. Van
Giosscn's blood and he FASTENED at
orca to the health department, where
he was given treatment for the pre-
vention OF hydrophobia.
The autopsy upon Mr.. Marsh demon
srated, aside from the presence of the
rabies germ, the coroner declared, that
there had been no administration of
narcotics in excessive quantities to
the hydroprobia victim.
Il was learned Thursday that Miss
Edna d. Thompson, stenographer for
Mr.. Marsh, was bitten by the dog
which caused his death. Miss Thomp-
son was treated at the Pasteur Insti-
tute Tuesday but she did not tell the
doctors that she had been bitten until
Thursday.
Miss Thompson is % years old and
was formerly a New England school
teacher. She discussed calmly her
chances for escape from incubation.
The doctors at the institute are in
olned to think that by good luck in
oculatf6nr may not have been effected

A LAW OF 1641
Unearthed to Settle Fishing Rights
Case In New Hampshire.

Boston, May 21.-The Percy Sum
mcr Club. located on the shores of
Christine lake, in the town of Stark,
y. H.. loses its suit against the citi-
zens of New Hampshire, according to
a decision handed down in the United
States circuit court of appeals hcre
today. In 1900 the club brought action
against the citizens of New Hamp-
shire, named Joseph c. Astle of North
cumberland and endeavoring to prevent
the general public from fishing in the
waters of the lake or trespassing on
the shores, to which the club claimed
to have the exclusive right. In the
United states circuit court Judge Will
liam Putnam orders the hill dismissed
but the case went on appeal to the
United states circuit court of appeals,
which today upheld the ruling of the
circuit court.
The decision of the circuit court was
based upon an ordinance adopted by
the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1S4I,
by which all great ponds, that is,
ponds of more than 10 acres in area.
were expressly decided to be public
and not to become the private property
of any person or persons. The court
held that this ordinance was binding
upon the state of New Hampshire. in-
asmuch as it was adopted at She time
that New Hampshire was part of
the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Chris
tine lake has an area of about 1iu
acres,

ord over 1.-The long transatlantic course
from Queenstown to New York. 1t had
been planned by the ships officers to
reach the Sandy Hook lishtship at
about 2 A. NJ, which would have beat
en- the record by more than. A.. hours,
but tine fog caused the officers to slow
down their ship so that at A. NJ
she was only creeping along some
where between Fire Island and Sandy
Hook. The prospects at that hour
were that the I.usitania would reach
the !ightship at Sandy Hook not earli-
er than o'clock and perhaps later.
This would still clip the record by
from 3 to 31s hours.
