MosERvuLE, Mich, Nov. 81.
During the absence of her husband last
night Mrs. Nathan Strang filled two tum-
bers with solution of Paris green, handing
one to her daughter, girl of Is years, and
taking the other herself. She drank her
own dose and forced the girl, at the muzzle
of revolver to swallow the fatal draught,
On her husbands return she told him what
she had done.
A doctor was summoned, but his efforts
were of no avail. Mrs. Strang died at mid
night in horrible agony, and her daughter
Maud an hour later. Maud begged piteously
of her friends and the doctor to save her life.
The Strsngs are much respected. In
sanity, which led to the awful act has been
clearly marked for about two weeks.
