An Alleged Attempt at Wife
POISONING

The Cincinnati Enquirer of Saturday has
the following special from GAINESVILLE, which
we give for what it is worth:
Quite sensation was produced here by an
alleged attempted poisoning of Mrs. Sid Ac =
ton by her husband, Mr.. Osborn Acton. A
few months ago Mrs. Acton applied for di-
vorce, which is now pending In the Common
Pleas Court of Belmont county. cton has
been trying to induce her to return, Offering
to compromise on favorable terms to the lady,
but all his proposals have been rejected.
Friday afternoon he made another visit to
the house where she resides, and submitted a
final proposition. She asked for time to con-
slider, but he insisted that the matter should
be decided then and there. She declined to
go back, when it is said he made threats of
violence, but not much attention was paid TO
his remarks, and that he went into the kitchen
and emptied some cream, he had brought, out
of bottle into bucket, and left soon after
Supper was then prepared for Mrs. Acton and
their daughter, ten years old. The cream
from the bucket was boiled in the coffee,
upon partaking of which curious taste was
discovered. This alarmed Mrs. Acton and
investigation by the neighbors revealed the
fact that quantity of strychnine had beer
deposited in the vessel. On examination oi
the powder by DR.. Ely and others, there wa.
left no doubt as to the fatal character Of the
powder, and test upon q cat resulted in
death within a few moments.
A warrant will probably be issued for the
arrest OF Acton, who lives in the county
and whose statement of the affair has not We
been made public.

WE learn from E. p Rhodes, Esq, who,
last week, made trip by carriage along the
line of the 7. V. R. r. as far as Uhrichsville,
thence on to Cleveland by cars, that work on
the road is progressing, under able supervis-
ion and favorable weather, most prosperously.
About five miles of the road west from
Bridgeport is about ready for the ties-while
the bridges and other heavy work is being
pushed with vigor to rapid completion. A full
force is operating from both sides on the
Flushing tunnel. On the west side dump cars
are used, greatly expediting operations. Stan
ley Bros. who have the contract from three
miles west Of Flushing to Uhrichsville, have
about fifteen miles of their work ready fol
{ re ties, and are pushing the rest of their jot
to rapid completion. About 800 men and zoe
wagons are employed along the line of the
road, and with little further lease nf fine
weather a large part of the unfinished work
will be done. If Wheeling don't want to IL
run over early next spring by the t. V. carr
she had better set her bumpers up.
