A NegrO Woman POisOns 4
Whole Family.
They are Still in Critical
Condition.
Arsenic Used.

Last evening a reporter Of the BULLETIN,
following up report that whole family,
living in the upper part Of the city, had been
poisoned, visited at the house of Philip Yer
don, on Locust street, near Terpsiehore.
The house was in charge Of neighbors the
entire family, as we'll as boarder, being in
dangerous condition from the effects Of what
attending physicians have pronounced
ARSENIC.
Mr.. Verdon could not be seen, but his wife,
whose condition was less critical, received the
reporter, and to him she made in substance,
the following statement Of particulars ::
As was their custom, the family at about g
o'clock sat down to dinner, and in fifteen MIN;
utes afterwards Verdon, his wife, their grand
child, Josephine Billac aged 10 years, and
the boarder, HypOlte Legro, were seized with
q deathly sickness. They had partaken of
nothing but soup, and the elder members of
the party had finished with glass Of wine.
Nine. Verdon, who is not 50 sick as the
others, becoming alarmed dispatched for DR..
Watkins, who, on his arrival, and on exnmi-
nation, declared that they had all been re-. I
The condition of the little girl and that of
Mr.. Legro becoming in a short time very
critical, DR.. Holt was called in for consulta-
ton, but Notwithstanding all that had been
done, at a late hour last night they were both
very low. Mr.. Verdon and his wife were still
sick but in fair way Of recovery. =.
There can be no doubt that the poison was
taken in the soup, and by way of explanation,
as to how it got in it, Mr.. Verdon stated that
a cOlored woman, whose name she would not
tell, who had been going in and out of the
house in q friendly way, yesterday called in
and went to the kitchen while the soup was
on the stove, and she (Mrs. Verdon> was tenn
porarily absent. et1 tufN b,l hasn. =,
The woman, the little girl stated to her,
lifted the cover from the pot, remarking that
it was burning, replaced It and Immediately
left.
She further stated that if the colOred woman.
did the poisoning, there was, so far ~ she
knew, no cause for the act, except that the.
woman owed her large sum of money

SUICIDE-THE END OF 4 SAD EXIST.
ENCE.

As the shades Of night were gathering fast
over the city Of New Orleans, on the 18th p
July, 1874, q man apparently about forty
years Of age, with slow gait and dropping
shoulders, dressed in a dark suit of clothes OF
some coarse material, much worn at the
seams having ON his feet common brogan
shoes, and, as q protection for the head, a
black felt hat with a hole Gut in the top, was
seen seen slowly vending his way towards the
river.
The idlers and curious have little better to
do, and being interested for the passing mo-
ment in ~ human existence on the face of
whom, Judging from the passing glance which
was had. tfinf and suffering we're the OILY
characteristics depicted. watched with in
creasing interest the deliberate movements OF
the gray headed man. not anticipating for a
moment the sequel.
The gray headed man, after reaching Post
No. 81 Of the First District quietly took a
seat on the same, and lifting his hat from
the head around which still luxuriated his
wealth Of gray locks, he raised his face to-
wards Heaven. 1t might have been that what
he sought was only breath of fresh air, and
yet again prayer might have gone up in
those few moments to the Great Judge above.
Who knows?
Suddenly shaking of the apathy which had
coMe over ulul, ne sprung 10 MS Ieet, anu
with 2 ,hmid and nervous glance, looked
around. Satisfied that no one. apparently,
vas watching his movements, he lifted his
arms above his head, and Owed into the water
to rise no more.
Awe-stricken for the moment those who
had interested themselves in his movements
stood speal- bound, but quickly recovering
themselyeA they rushed for the bank OF the
nver. Alas nothing could be seen of the
unknnwn, mysterious man.
The police were notified. bu, np to late
hour the body bad not been recovered.
So entIsH another sad existence.
The day, has dawned, and the great river
which hovs along iii the even tenor Of its
ways, win not until the Judgment Day gives
up The sad secrets treasured SO closely in its
bosom.
