Wheeling W. Va. Nov. 1.-The sudden and un-
expected death of Mrs. ]. W. Gray at Martins
Ferry o.. a few days since has caused quite sen.
sation in that village. For some time previous to
her death Mrs Gray was quite ILL., but the family
physician had administered such remedies as to
greatly restore her health, and on the morning
previous to her death she was in good spirits and
was cheerful, remarking to the physician in the
evening that she felt much better, and stating at
the same time that the medicine prescribed for
her had been exhausted, and asking whether the
same prescription should be reflled. To this the
physician replied in the affirmative, and mes
senger was forthwith dispatched to the drug store
of j. P. Jordan, jr., with the empty vial. The med
icine was taken to Mrs Gray, and about o'clock
in the evening she took spoonful, as directed by
her physician. Soon after she complained of a
burning sensation in her stomach, and, as she was
suffering the most intense agony, physician was
called. The physician, after examining the con-
tents of the vial, pronounced them deadly poison,
and administered proper remedies to the unfortu-
nate lady. She fingered until midnight, when
she expired in great agony.
Upon investigation it was found that James Jor.
dan, the prescription clerk, had filled the vial
with aconite d deadly poison, instead Of buchu
The jars containing the aconite and buchu stood
side by side on shelf, and the clerk had taker

Mrs Gray, and boards with the family, is suffer
ing great agony from the terrible effects of the
consequences of the carelessness. Mrs. Gray wal
a daughter of John Dubois, ST., prominent clt
zen of Belmont county, Ohio, and was much es
teemed in the circle in which she moved.
