WHOLESALE POISONING.
Rough on Rats Supposed to Have Been
Used In the Preparation of Food.

Used In the Preparation of Food.
From, the ". 0. Times Democrat, June ss.
The police Of she Third precinct received
notice yesterday evening that an entire
family by the name of Guellouard, living
at the corner of Chartres and Hospital
streets, had been poisoned Sergt. Jour-
nee immediately repaired to the house
and discovered that Mr.. Guellouard, his
wife, two daughters, Gabrielle, aged Z
years, and Lucinda, aged 3L years, his
son, Ferdinand, aged 5Is, and his clerk,
Daniel Thomas, aged A years, were suf-
fering from the effects OF poison.
1t appears that during the morning Mr..
Guellonard had had some
WORDS WITH THE COOK,
a white woman named Mrs. Eugene Alb
adie, but nothing came of the dispute,
nor was anything more thought Of it.
After dinner was cooked, and before 1t
was served. Mrs. GuellOuard noticed a
green1sh scum floating on top of the soup,
and called the cooks attention to the
fact. She explained that she had used
some green's in its preparation which ac-
counted tor the strange appearance.
Satisfied with this explanation, as she
suspected nothing wrong, Mrs. Guellou-
ard called her family TO dinner. A short
time after the meal Mrs. GuellouaTd be-
gan TO feel unmistakable

and very soon all who partoOk OF the vic
tuals were attacked ia the same manner.
a box Of rough on rats that had been on
the kitchen she'll was missed and could
not be found. The woman Abadie was at
once called to account by the sufferers
and hurriedly fed from the house before
the police could be summoned.
In the meantime medical assistance
had been sent for, aud Drs. Gabert and
Poinoy FASTENED 70 the relief of the
stricken family,
ANTIDOTEs WERE ADMINISTERED,
and were effectual in placing them all out
of danger. Mrs. Guellouard, the elder
daughter Gabrielle, and the clerk,
Thomas, were the worst, and were for a
while In a critical condition. Thomas
was taken TO the Charity Hospital, where
he was resting easily last night, with
every hope Of recovery.
The cook, after she had left the house,
disappeared from sight, and all the efforts
Of the police last night failed 10 locate
her. Every effort will, however, be made
to-day 10 capture her for future punish
ment. The attempt which proved so very
nearly fatal seems 20 have been without
any apparent reason, and no cause can be
assigned beyond the fact that Mr. Guel-
louard had spoken TO her IN the morning,
and she becoming enraged had made use
of the rat poison,

Spring Cleaning at the White House

Spring Cleaning at the White House
From The Neto York Telegram.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-No one who
witnessed a scene which took place on the
grounds OF the White House a day or
two since can gainsay the statement that
Miss Cleveland is q courageous woman.
With the instinct Of the practical house
wife-although, strictly speaking, she is
the Presidents maiden sister-MIss Cleve-
land made up her mind that the White
House ought TO undergo thorough spring
cleaning. When Mr.. Arthur was Presi-
dent he merely gave the orders, and
corps of men and women were put at work,
and for day or two the Mansion was
completely turned upside down. Not so
with Miss Cleveland. The orders were
given as usual, but IL was not great
while before the servants discovered that
the annual spring cleaning meant some
thing more than is customary. Begin
ming with the carpets, Miss Cleveland
saw that they were taken up properly and
spread upon the lawn. Then she went
out in poke bonnet, and the ''first lady
Of the land" stood quietly by and
had them thoroughly beaten while
she ''b0ssed the job" Visitors at
the White House were thunderstruck;
the lauy clerks IN Jne treasury Depdrt-
ment looked with all their eyes, for they
never expected to see the sight again, but
Miss Cleveland calmly stood her ground
until the last carpet had been renovated,
and then she marched back to the White
House to see that the servants there were
cleaning the paint properly. Several I'M
married gentlemen who witnessed the
scene have set inquiries a6oat as to
whether or no Miss Cleveland is sin the
Market" and the married men are
proudly pointing to the good example at
the White House. 1t is feared, however,
that this pGstime Of the Presidents sister

after o'clock this morning, as George A.
Huntington, editor of the Sentinel, the
Republican organ of this section, was on
his way to his hotel from the telegraph

by some unknown party. The attempted
ASSASSINATION was clearly the result of
the late successful agitation for the re-
moval of Internal Revenue Collector Nc

letter, received by the wounded man
few days ago, bears witnesss:
