 a Fatal DrauGht of Poison.


 a Fatal Draught of Poison.
 TROY, O., Sept. 3.-The wife of Frederick Merrill arose at an early hour this morning, shot her husband in the head with re- volver and then took fatal dose of carbolic acid. She was nearly crazed with grief by the death of her child. Mrs. Merrill was sleeping in a room adjoining that of her hus- band. Quietly entering his room she shot him. Thinking she had killed him she placed the revolver by his side and running to the window gave the alarm of murder, intending to give the neighbors the belief that it was & case of suicide. Merrill was not made un- conscious by the shot and running to side door he threw the pistol out and called for help. The wife frantic with grief at the fail ure of her murdero ous plan grabbed bottle of carbolic acid and swallowed the entire contents.
