Odd circumstances of Case Is that
He Was Never Bitten by a Dog.
Hears Death Sentence Pronounced
by Physician Like StOic-CaImIy
and Peacefully Awaits the End.

New York, May 1s.-It was on Monday
that William H. Marsh. of "A Ocean avs
nue.. Brooklyn, received his sentence Of
death at the Pasteur Institute. 561 West
Twenty-third street
Monday night and this morning he spent
in making his will and settling his affairs.
for though he was still rational, he could
not know at what moment the convulsive
spasms that precede the terrible death
from hydrophobia would attack him.
At noon, he became somewhat delirious,
but later in the day his mind cleared
again and he was able to talk TO his
wife and his four children. Tonight he
was said TO be comfortable, but neither he
nor any of his three physicians has the
slightest hope that he will recover.
He viii probably die tomorrow" said
one Of the doctors, "or the next day, at
the latest
Never Bitten by Dog.
| The oldest circumstance that surrounds
the case is the fact that. so far as he
knows, Mr.. Marsh was never bitten by
dog. That he contracted rabies from
four-year-old brindle terrier is. how
ever, regarded by the doctors at the
Pasteur Institute as certain.
Mr.. Marsh. who is now about fifty
| seven years old, is among the best-known
residents of the Flatbush section. He IS
| manufacturers of water meters. and
| his factory and of1ice is at 245 Robinson
street. It was here that the bull ter
rier was kept. The dog had been owned
| by Mr. Marsh for several years, and was
both popular as a pet and esteemed as
watch dog.
II was about six weeks ago that the
dog came into the Office from the street
one day with a wound on his side No
/ body knew how he got it. Mr. Marsh
dressed the wound himself and thought
no more about it. Soon after that, how
ever, the animal began to act oddly and
was tied up A veterinary surgeon was
at once called in and said that the dog
had rabies, and that ne ought to be
killed.
Animal Is shot.
Z policeman was called and the dog
was shot Even then Mr.. Marsh had no
suspicion that he was in any danger.
and It was not until last Saturday that
he became suspicious.
On that day he noticed that he had
difficulty in swallowing and that the
muscles OF his throat and mouth were
under bad control. He consulted his fam
| fly physician. who advised him to go 10
the Pasteur Institute. This he did on
Monday. and was told, not only that
he had rabies in an advanced stage, but
also that in all human probability his
! case was hopeless.

dent physicians at the institute made the

BIG INTEREST
Manifested BY Large Crowd
nfhe Coliseum Skat-
ing Rink

never since the opening OF the roll
Ter skating rink In this city has there
been 80 much interest shown IN The
popular pastime as. Is being manifest-
ed at the present time by the patrons
of Calrl1sburg Coliseum Company'S
Rink in Glen Elk. Daily crowds at
tend that more than equal the attend
ance of last year.
The rink IS open every afternoon
and evening. In the afternoons the
rink Is open from .2:30 until s
O'Clock. Large crowds of beginners
thronE the rink every afternoon and
under the present management OF the
rink all fast learn the art of skating.
It IL surprising the number of begin
ners that have already learned to
skate this year.
In the evenings the rink Is open
from 1880 until 1890 o'clock and It
will be hard TO ind u more popular
place to spend delightful evening
than at the rink.
Not satisfied with the many inn
provements that have already been
made at the rink tn management is
still making improvements every day,
and now the rink presents nice Rp-
pearance- It is safe to say that the
rink as It now IS, stands far ahead OF
any In the surrounding neIghborhood.
Music Is played at every session
when the rink is open. The Rudolph
Wurlitzer Electrical Band Organ
which was installed at the rink some
time back as an experiment has more
than proved its worth and the change
from the orchestra to the organ has
been a good one as the skaters declare
the time for skating with the organ Is
the best that has been had at the
rink since it's opening in this city
more than a year ago.
Probably the best drawing card for
the rink. above all othefs.fs the floor.
The floor at the rink this year. be-
yond a doubt is in the best shape that
it has ever been as yet Skaters from
other cities and states pronounce It
q good one and one that Is seldom
eqpalled in a city of this size.
Tonight at the rink two pair eof
Richardson skates will be given away
free and besides this, one Is bound to
have a pleasant evening. One cannot
very well afford to let Halloween slip
by without attending the rink
