Lavish Display of the Stars and Stripes in
 Their Honor.
 Southampton, June 2.-The American warships lying In Southampton waters, preparatory to sailing for Kiel where they will take part in the opening of the North Sea-baltic canal, have added much to the gaiety of this town. The harbor today was alive with boats and launches from the American vessels, and all day long the piers where the boats arrived and departed were lined with townspeople watching the move ments of the blue jackets and their off, cers. Since the arrival of the warships Southampton, which Is doubtless the best affected place in England towards the United States, has been lavish in its display of the stars and stripes and very many of the shop windows contain American devices.
 The American warships are anchored off N'fley hospital, where there are also two Italian cruisers. Sailors from the vessels are constantly going ashore, and Americans, Italians and Englishmen mix with the bohemian characteristic of their class. The American flagship has many visitors, fall of whom are shown every courtesy by the officers. Yesterday the mayor of Southampton, attired in his official robes and chains of office. returned the visit of Rear Ad- mir-l Kirkland. When the SanFrancis- co arrived she fired a salute. which the town was unable to return. having DO guns.
 The United States steamer Allianca steamed slowly out last night and then shaped her course westward. She is bound for Newport, but will probably call at Madeira.

POISON IN HER FOOD.
Wealthy Mrs. bliss Believed TO nave
Reen Killed by Her Daughter.

Been hiiIeu Dy zeT D""e"
The funeral Of Mrs. Evalina Bliss.
wealthy lady Of New York. who diea
last Friday, was held Tuesday morning
and Immediately afterward the daughter
of the dead woman, Mrs. Alice Fleming
was arrested at hotel on a charge that
she murdered her mother by poison.
The case Is a mysterious, and. In some
resuects. a sensational one. as the death
of Mrs. Bliss gives TO her daughter the
income Of an estate Of 100000 left by
Robert Swift Livingstone, who was the
first husband Of Mrs. Bliss. To DR.. Bull
man, who was summoned to her bedside
Friday night, Mrs. Bliss said that she
had been poisoned by relatives who would
be financially benefited by her death. she
said that she had eaten clam-chowder ana
o piece Of apple pie. The doctor says that
Mrs. Bliss attendants failed to give her
the medicines he left for her. He secured
the dish in which the chowder had been
served, and a piece of the pie. and gave
them TO the Coroner. The Coroner had
an examination made of the dead wo-
mans stomach by w. T. Sheele, who
Gays that he found traces Of metallic
poison in the stomach and also In the
dish which had contained chowder. and
that It had evidently been very skilfully
prepared by some one with knowledge
of poison.
Suspicion pointed TO Mrs. Fleming. De-
tectives called for her Tuesday, and es-
corted her to the funeral. and, although
she was the chief mourner. three of them
rode with her to Greenwood Cemetery
They returned with her. and then for
mally placed her under arrest at her
home. She was taken before Magistrate
Simms, where she smiled and eeemed
entirely unworried. and the Magistrate
remanded her to the custody OF the Coro-
ner TO await the result Of an inquest.

MANASSAS, VA, September 4.-(Spe-
ciaI)-Ths Posey-Loveless murder trial
before Judge Lipscomb was brought to
a close to-day. The trial has excited not
a little interest. owing to some peculiar
phases rather out OF the usual order.
The Jury of yesterday In the case OF

after having been locked up all night,
and reported having decided on a verdict
Of murder In the second degree. but at
that time they were unable TO decide on
the length Of imprisonment. and were
sent back to the jury-room.
The case Of George Posey was then
called and tried. He was charged and in
dicted as accessory TO the crime Tor
which his son had been tried. Hon. T..
r. Meredith was his counsel also. and
Mr.. Thornton appeared for the Common
wealth. They both conducted their sides
OF the case In very able manner.
Mr.. Thornton endeavored to show the
jury that George Posey was chief insti-
gator and promoter Of the killing. al
though he took no active part in II him
self. and that while a majority OF the
people present believed him TO be the
one 10 blame In the affair. no direct evil
dence could bs brought to bear to prove
him guilty.
While the second jury was out the
nrst Jury returned. and the clerk read
the following verdict. which was handed
him by the foreman: I'VE. the jury
ind Fred. Posey guilty Of murder In the
