SHOOTING HIS SwEETHEAT DEAD AT HIS
FEET AND THEN COMMITTING SUICIDE-At
Lowell, Mass, about o'clock last Friday
afternoon Frederick Sproat shot and instantly
Killed Laura L. Hunt He then discharged 4
bullet into his own brain, which resulted in

tlon hand" lie had for some months tried
to wait on the girl, who repealed his advances
Friday noon he borrowed seven barreiled
revolver from Il friend. saying that he wished
to buy one ike ii, and wanted it as a sample
Ii is evident that he had then formed his
murderouG purpose. At the time mentioned
he requested to-, see Miss Hunt at the
door of the mill. After much hesita-
ton she went down, and they were seen 10
converse several minutes. Suddenly Sprolt
drew revolver from his pocket and emptiei
TWO barrels into her left temple. She dropped
dead at his feet. Then he followed up the Ter
IIbie deed b. committing suicide. He was I'M
conscious from the time OF the shooting until
his death, and therefore could make no safe
ment; nor did he leave any written eyplana-
ton. He has borne reputation for Subrety
quietness and general good character. Miss
Hunt was a member of the First Congrega-
ucnal churdh, and bore an irreproacha6le

LCNATIC'S POISONING SCHEME.-A whole
sale poisoning affair was narrowly escaped at
the Newton poor farm recently. One of the
matronS, in pouring some milk from pan in
getting breakfast, noticed queer sediment on
the bottom of the vessel. Another pan was
tried, when the same popularity was noticed
and an examination showed that the substance
was Paris green A half demented fellow
named George French, who was born and
brought up Oh the farm, was at once suspect
Cd. and On being questioned admitted that he
had put pound OF the poison into three cans
OF milk for the purpose of poisoning George
ceedingIy jealous on account of his attentions
TO his (French'S) halt sister. It is know that
hard feelings have long existed between the
similar attempt. He secreted the Paris green
last summer, when it was used to Kill potato
bugs. French was arrested and will be sent
TO some lUnatic aSylum.-f Worcester tIIsS)
