HALLoWELL WOMAN POISONED.
Police Investigating Alleged Use of Arsenic
in Food.

Augusta, March 1S.-Mrs. Stefano
Quattirapani, aged 35, an Italian. died at
Hallowell, this morning after "a hours
suffering with what is suspected to he
arsenical poisoning. She, with her four
little children, partook of their breakfast

and milk. Immediately after they were
all taken sick, Mrs. Quattirapani's being
the most serious case, death resulting as
stated. The children are all out of dan

at present is at Barre, VT.
Arsenical poisoning was so strongly in
dictated that the woman's stomach and re-

THE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES.

The members of the Bangor High
School Athletic Association have decided
that they will vote for the proposed
change in the affairs of the Maine Inter
Scholastic Athletic Association as out
lined in the Commercial few days ago
The Bowdoin College Athletic A ssocia-
tion made a!proposition to the schools in
the interscholastic league to take charge
of the leagues affairs, and to arrange for
all meets, etc.
The Bango boys were not in favor of
this arrangement at first, but they have
since talked it over and have decided that
it will be more for their benefit to let
Bowdoin, which leads in athletics In
Maine, to carry out her proposition.
When the matter was first brought up
MANY thought that il Bowdoin was given
the handling of the athletics among the
schools belonging to the III. l. 5. A. A. /,
the schools would soon have nothing to
say about anything connected with the
meets. They have been given to under
stand, however, that they wall nave IS
much control over such matters as be-
fore.
All that Bowdoin wants is to have the
meets held at Brunswick on Whittier
field. She offers to make all arrange
ments, payS all bills contracted on &C
count of the meets, in fact, to assume all
the responsibility brought about by the
annual games of the league. Inc schools
will have the same voice in all matters
as they have had since the 3D. L. 5. A. A.
WAS organized and all matters Will u be
be put beforeSthem for consideration
The matter will be fully decided by all
of the schools belonging to the M. l. 5.
A. A. in q few days by mail vote.-

hour and at meeting of the weavers
that followed, the committee.reported that
Agent Bean could make no change in the

that he alone was the cause Of the contin-

resigned as president of the striking
weavers. The election of the new presi-
dent, whose name is withheld, will not
