CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-An atrocious
attempt to murder nearly a whole
family, including the husband, wife
and three children, by the administra-
ton of strychnine was made in this
city yesterday at noon. The head of
the family is Andrew Stang, one of
the wealthiest Germans in the city,
and daughter Elizabeth, about six
teen, is under arrest as the poisoner.
1t is believed that the desire to &C
cumulate, bordering nearly on avarice
on the part of the old people, was
the impelling cause which led the
young girl to attempt to take the life
of her relations. She complains bit
terly of having been overworked and
i'll treated because she did not earn
sufficient money to suit the grasping
notions of her parents. The poison
was brought into the house by the
girl, and according to the statement
of one of the children, was placed in
coffee pot. On the other hand the
girl alleges that the mother put the
poison into the coffee. The victims
are the husband. Mrs. Stang, Mar
garet, twelve years of age, Rose, tel
years, and Andrew, four years. They
will probably all recover.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-T The wife of
George Farnham of this town at
tempted to destroy herself on Thurs
day evening last, by taking an over
dose of opium. Her condition was
early discovered, and prompt medical
aid saved her life this time, though
we understand she declares her de-
termination to commit the deed. The
reason assigned is abuse from her
drunken and debased husband. Here
is a text for a temperance lecture

which has heretofore had a fair name

Destructive Fire in Rutland, Vt.

The Rutland Herald gives very
minute account of the destructive fire
which consumed Cramton's block and
adjacent buildings in that city. early
on Sunday morning. 1t broke out in
wooden building in the rear of the
block above named, and the Herald
says there can be no doubt of its be-
ing the result of the carelessness, to
say the least, of four persons engaged
in carousal in the workshop of Mr..
Gibson, who set fire to combustible
materials, which spread rapidly, and
the parties escaped from the building
with scarcely any efforts to extinguish
it, and fed without giving an alarm.
The parties have been arrested, and
are in Jail awaiting an examination.
We copy from the account of the fire;
"The alarm was given about 2 80
o'clock yesterday morning, and upon
the arrival of the fremen and citi-
zens at the scene of the fire, it was
wholly confined to the workshop of
Mr.. ellison, and the prospects were
for some time quite favorable to the
quelling of the flames without any
very serious loss. But wooden
platform and stairway which stood
between the shop and Cramton's main
building afforded an easy means of
communication for the fiery monster,
and while the firemen, apprehending
no danger in other quarters were still
busy in endeavoring to hold the fire
in check in the building in which it
originated, it had gained firm foot.
hold in the main building of Mr.. Bal
ley, which latter being constructed
of wood, afforded an easy prey to
the increasing flames, and was quick
ly heap of shapeless ruins.
Meanwhile, and almost impercepti-
bly,, the fire had gained such head
way in Cramton's block as TO render
the vigorous efforts of the fremen
and citizens to stay its progl ess
futile; and though streams of water
were steadily poured upon it, the at
} tention of the occupants was now
, turned chiefly to saving their goods
but the building having no less THAI
twenty-five occupants, no little contu
sion was experienced in removing it
2 contents; but thanks to the hearty
!, aid of our citizens bestowed on thu
s occasion, the greater portion of thu
merchandise of the tenants, if we ez
cept that of Messrs. ellison and Mer
y riam, was removed before the fire hat
4 reached it"
l. The Herald publishes tull detail
e of the individual losses and insur
ances, most of which are held in Ney
York and Philadelphia. 1t the lon
. list we note only $4,000 in the Spring
Is field (Mass.) Fire and Marine Office
