  Petersburg, Va., May 12.- Intelligence was received here this morning of a 
most shocking suicide in Sussex, which occurred a few days ago, the victim of 
death by her own hands being Mrs. Alice Bishop, a widely known lady of that 
county, who killed herself by cutting her throat from ear to ear with a razor. 
The unfortunate woman had been a invalid for some time, and had to be moved 
about the house in an invalid's chair.  She is survived by her husband and two 
or three children.  Mrs. Bishop had made previous attempts to destroy herself.
