HIS RELATIVES.

THE DEADLY MoRPHIA-A LGdy'S FI'Ol
JSe Of Mrs. Sarah f. Morgan, of 55 west
18th street, died yesterday. On Saturday
evening Mrs. Morgan and Mr.. and Mrs. III.
y. Allen, who live In the same house, sat
down TO game of cards. After playing
some time Mrs. Morgan left the room, but
returned and resumed the game, saying that
she bad just ia ken a dose OF laudanum. Soon
afterward Mrs. Morgan grew drowsy, and at
last retired. Mr. Morgan returned from his
business late, and he found his wife lying
dress ed upon the bed, unconscious, and hold
tng in her hand a box of morphia. He reused
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen and ran for a physics an.
Mr.. Allen ascertained that no morphia had
been used out of the box. The fatal dose had
evidently been taken from q two ounce wal
of laudanum that was on the bureau empty.
DR.. WetZel used the customary remedies
and twenty four hours of this treatment pro-
duced some results that seemed favorable,
but sudden changed interviewed, aud she
died early yesterday morning. Mrs. Morgan
had been hypOchondriacal since the death of
her young daughter, a year and a half ago.
Her nervous system has been much pros
trated since, and recourse to narcotics
was the consequence. Mrs. Morgrn was 81
years old, a native OF Stamford, Conn.,, niece
of p. I. Barnum, and wife of Major Harry
Morgan, OF the Tennessee state troops i'm the
late war, who is brother of the renowned
confederate raider, General John Morgan
