SENSATION AT sUsANvILLE.
4 Woman Charged With Attempting
to Poison Her Husband.

to Poison Her Husband.
SUsANvILLE, March 26.-Last Friday
the Coroner's jury investigating the cause
of the death of George w. Long decided
there was some mystery attending the
death and advised rigid investigation.
In compliance with that recommended
ton and upon complaint charging her
with "mingling poison with medicine
with intent to injure a human being"
Mrs. Nina Long, widow of the deceased,
was arrested. The complaint was sworn
to by Arch Harper, an old acquaintance
OF the deceased. Several witnesses were
examined, all the testimony going to
show that the widow was associated, as
charged IN the complaint, with an at
tempt to poison her husband. A strict
watch was placed on the woman before
the death of Long, and it is said that one
of the watchers swore that he changed
the bottle of medicine that Mrs. Long
thought contained poison.
Opinion lis decided against the widow.
as her previous conduct has made for her
very hard name in this place There is
belief that she is crazy.
The committing magistrate held Mrs.
Long in the sum of $1,000, which she
promptly gave. The case will soon be
called up for trial.

Rio DE JANEIRo, March 26.-As inti-
mated yesterday by the representative in
this city of the Associated Press, the
Government fleet in the bay did not sail
southwark to-day, although orders had
been issued for the vessels to do so. 1t is
conjectured that the Government has re-
ceived information showing that the pres
ence of the fleet Is not required IN the
south, although the officials decline to
make public any news they have re-
ceived. They state, however, that they
expected the revolutionary movement in
5he south would shortly die of inanition.
1t is apparent from the fact the war
ship crews were engaged to-day in re-
moving the torpedOes aboard them, that
.he Government expects no naval battle,
and III the fact of the overwhelming naval
force the Government would be able to pit
against the insurgents, a sea fight is be-
yond the range OF possibility.

lay at Savannah. Ca, three weeks. Near
the end of this period the Captain gave
all hands three days shore leave and
when they returned it was found that

when the vessel went ashore on one OF
the Bahama reefs. The yacht anchored
in the harbor of Fortune Island and al
most Immediately afterward one OF the
Haytian warships dropped anchor out
side. 1t seems the Captain of the Natalie
began negotiations for the sale of the
vessel to the Haytian Government,
which sale was concluded on the I'D of
March. There were OH board two guns
of recent make and good caliber, sew
eral boxes of ammunition and several
