CINCINNATI, o., March 19.-Mrs. Daniel
ID. Bowdle. of Ludlow avenue, Clifton, this
city. is dead and her husband and two
daughters are seriously ill from a poison
which the woman and attending physician
says is arsenic and which was taken with
breakfast food this morning. The food was
purchased in the original package at near
by grocery and prepared by the family
cook. Agnes Massing, who has always had
the implicit confidence of the family. The
cook ate none of the food. neither did the
younger daughter of the family and neither
became III. The cook has been under close
questioning by the physician and the police.
Before Mo. Bowdle died she told the
physician that she had a box of rough on
rats i'm a certain place. Search revealed
that 1t had been removed and that it was
nearly empty. Mrs. Bowdle said she had
not removed it and that it was full when
she last saw 1t. The cook expressed great
grief over the calamity and there is moth
family to arouse suspicion against her. Mr..
BowdIe has been declared out of danger.

and Miss Katherine Bowdle, are in a crit

The girl is an orphan, whose home is at
GwendOline near Celina, o., and has been
employed by Mrs. Bowdle for three years.
The police say the girl has been taken into
custody merely as a precaution, and that
they are positive that Mrs. Bowdle herself
prepared the breakfast food which con-
tanned the poison. Two vessels were found
in the pantry which contained the food
One was poisoned for rats and the other
was filled with good food. 1t is the theory
of the police that Mrs. Bowdle by mistake
took from the wrong vessel

 "I would give the entire gross re- cc:pts to charity if McGraw's team would consent to play us three games here before the opening of the cham pionship season. 1t would not be gate receipts that I would seek by such a series, but simply to show to thousands who have not yet realized the strength of the American league that we are able to put it all over the so-called 'Giants,' any time and any place. If Brush and McGraw were not afraid of being shown up, they would play us in q minute, but they know that while they have only fair ball team they are going to tackle the other National league clubs, which, barring Pittsburg., would not stand a chance to win the championship of the Eastern league.
 T want to call the attention of the New York public to just one thing of interest. McGraw's men open the season with nineteen straight games against the Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn teams, which are all weak and unable to put up fight. This will enable McGraws men to take big lead at the outset of the season with the idea Of creating furore in this city. But things would be decid- edly different if McGraW's men were in the American league. where they would find real ball teams and no Guitters. There is q big fight on in this city and the time has come for the New York American league club to assume the offensive. If Brush and McGraw have such wonderful ball team why don't they play us a series to settle the question of su- premacy and let local charities have the benefit of the money taken at the gate? We are ready at any time to do business and we can make good, too.v

ners. To turn sharp corners while sliding at headlong speed can be seen by any amateur to be difi- cult. The danger is of being shot right out of the course: and this danger is obviated by banking up the snow at the side of the course where the cor. ners occur. The banks are not SO steep but that the tobpgganer who races at them recklessly may race right over them and find himself expelled, toboggan and all, into the deep soft snow beyond their confines. His prob lem is to steer round these corners, and negotiate these dificulties-the difficulties, for instance, of Churchleap and Shuttlecock and Battledore-as fast as he possibly can without being so expelled; and he has also to master the art of falling without hurting him. self, in case he is expelled. He lies fiat on the toboggan, careering down the hill, head foremost, after flying start, and he steers as best he can Of old. tobogganers used to steer by means of sticks. At the present tme the steer ing is done by means of steel toe-cap fastened to the boot, and serving alike as rudder and as brake In spite of the necessity of using the brake pretty freely at the corners. the best men attain a most prodigious speed.

 Each competitor has to take three runs; his times are added together, and the prize goes to the man who makes the best total on the three heats. The highest speed is, naturally, attained on the straight at the end of the run. Speeds verging on 80 miles an hour have heen recorded on this portion of the course;l the record for the whole course being about 66 seconds. The course ends with a leap, tobogganist and toboggan being shot together into the air.
