Seeking the Source of. tlie PoisonWhich- Killed Mrs. Bliss.

WAS THEEE AM" ACCOMPLICE?

The Police Have Now Settled Upon t heTheory That There Was, and That the

Antimony Was Purchased Oat- .aide of ITe-w TEorlc City.

NEW "5?OBK, Sept.' 6.—Though PoliceCaptain Thompspn left his station housefind did not return until this afternoon,there was no let up in the effort to straight-en out the tangle of evidence and mysterywhich from the start has surrounded thedeath of Mrs. M. Evelyn Bliss a week agotoday in her apartments, 397 St. Nicholasavenue.

Detectives Moore and Sawyer of theWest One Hundred and Twenty-fifthStreet station have still a number of puz-zles to clear up. They have as yet beenunsuccessful in their efforts to find outwhere and by. whom the poison was pur-chased. All the drug stores within aradius o£ a couple of miles have alreadybeen canvassed without avail; but, as theacting captain said, today:

""What was to prevent; purchasing thedrug anywhere—down town, for exam-ple? There are almost as many drugstores in this city as there are saloons. Ishould say the total number would notfall.far short of 4,000."

Another difficulty that has besefc thedetectives in working up the case is theirinability to locate a commercial traveler

GRACEwhose name is variously spelled Trubayand Trubel, ^ h p is known to have beena friend of the Bliss farnily and to havebeen aocustomed to call on them when hewas in the city.

Acting Captain "Wilson said that the de-tectives had not been able as yet to findthe man. Then in the next breath heprotested that bho man was only an oldfriend, and his acquaintance with thefamily had no especial significance. Hewould not deny; however, that the policewould like to find him.

In further explanation he remarked:"Ho one else ever paid Mrs. -Fleming's

expenses except H. M. Bliss, the step-father. He himself has admitted as much.' '

The police in the course of their workhawe learned of queer stories about theremarkable prisoner, Mrs. Fleming.They say that her peculiarity extended toher friendship for the other sex. In theold fashioned theory of the social world, ithas been customary for man to take thenitiative in lovemaking. The police say

this was the very opposite of Mrs. Flem-ng's theory.

Stepfather Bliss left the Colonial hotelat 7:80 o'clock for his office in the Have-meyer building.

Henry Bliss Interviewed. *A reporter called, a t Mrs. Bliss ' la te

home, 397 St. Nicholas avenue, and inter-viewed young Henry Bliss, hor son, whomade his first appearance at the flat sincethe funeral.

The son did not care to talk for publica-tion, and not until he had read severalpublished statements which were shownhim and which he declared to be false didhe consent to speak of bhe mystery of hismother's death.

"In the first place," he said, " I want todeny the statement that my mother everappeared on bhe stage. The strongest in-timacy always existed between us, and sheold me all abotib. her life prior bo the time

of her marriage to my father, and if shehad been on the stage I certainly wouldhave known it either from her own lips orfrom other sources, since I had every wayof finding it out.

'Another false statement which hasbeen published is the one which said I didnot accompany rny mother's remains toGreenwood cemetery, but instead walkeddoron-the street with the undertaker andurned away. My walk with the latter

was purely a coincidence, for I met a car-riage an waiting for me and went with thefuneral party to tjje cemetery, and I're-turned in that carriage when the otherarriage returned."

The reporter then asked Mr. Blisswhether or not relations existing betweenhimself and his stepsisber, Mrs. JTleming,had always been cordial. At first heevaded an answer, but finally responded:

"Well, to be frank^about it, for certaineasons, which you can readily imagine, I

have not had anything to do with my halfister for the last five years. I have not

talked with her during that period andhave had no communication with her."

up to today the police havo pretty thor-oughly settled in their own minds twopoints in connection with the death ofMrs. Bliss. The first is that the poisonwith which the woman was killed wasnot purchased in this city. The secondpoint, which the police consider to bemore than a theory, is that they are sat-isfied that more than one person was im-plicated.

Two Persons Were Concerned.A thorough search of all drug stores

within a radius of two miles of Mrs.Fleming's apartments in the Colonialiotel failed to show that either antimony>r tartar emetic had been sold recentlyijxoept in one instance. I t was learnedhat at the drug store of Otto E. Haecker,

One Hundred and Thirty-third street andBJghth avenue, 960 grains of tartar emeticand 480 grains oi sulphate of iron had

een sold on Aug. 38.Ifr-was proved conclusively, however,

ihat this prescription was put up b j orderf a veterinary surgeon to be used by

Disbrow Bros., express and truck men,at 2473 Eighth avenue, ia the treatment

of their horses. There is not the slightestreason to believe' thati any portion of thepoison ever came into the possession ofany one connected wibh the Bliss, orFleming family. The police have there-fore come to the conclusion that thepoison must have been purchased outsidethis city.

Supplemental to t leir belief that thepoison was purchased outside of this city,the police are convinced that at least twopersons were concerned in the plot to takeMrs. Bliss' life. They claim to have thestrongest circumstantial evidence thatsuch was the case.

The police theory is that the poison wasprocured out of town, and perhaps manymonths ago, in pursuance of a deep laidplot, and that the poison was kept await-ing a favorable occasion for its use.

When Detectives Moore and Sawyermade an exhaustive search of Mrs. Flem-ing's rooms at the Colonial hotel, thoywere not surprised to find everythingpacfeed up ready ffor removal. Theyfound nothing to reward their search buta package containing eight white powdersand a cup containing a white precipitate.The powders looked and tasted like alum.They were sent to Dr. Walter T. Scheelefor'analysis.

Gracie Fleiiiing, the young daughterof the woman under arrest for the crime,was questioned by Captain Thompson atthe One Hundred anal T,wenty-fifth Streetstation. She is destined to baan importantwitness in the case. The child is wonder-fully precocious anfi is said to bear astrong resemblance to her mobher. The

' child gave ready repilies to all questionswhich did nob particularly affect hermother's case, but when anything wasasked touching upon Mrs. Fleming thegirl's display of ignorance was in aston-ishing contrast to her brightness in otherrespects.

The Inquest Postponed.A child was taken to the coroner's office,

accompanied by a man. The child was atfirst thought to be Gracie Fleming andthe man Mr. Bliss. I t was learned, how-ever, that they were Florence King andher father. Florence King is the yoimggirl who is said to have gone withGracie Fleming when the latter carriedthe clam chowder to her grandmother.

Coroner O'Meagher refused to disclosewhat took place at the conference. He saidthat the dabe of the inquesb had been fixedfor next Tuesday, and that Assistant Dis-trict Attorney Battle would take chargeof the prosecution after the inquest.-

This would indicate»itli*t*the coroner issatisfied that so strong a case has alreadybeen made out against Mrs. Fleming thatshe will be held for (die action of the.grandjury.

Lawyers Charles W. Brooke and JohnC. Shaw havo been formally retained byMrs. Fleming to conduct her defense:

Mr, Brooke said that he did not knowwhat evidence the police had against hisclient. He spent three hours with Mrs.Fleming in the Tombs and tried, he said,in every way to trap her into some admis-sion that would prove to his mind herguilt or innocence. He failed signally inhis purpose. Mrs. Fleming, it is said,stated that" she had no knowledge of theclam chowder said to have contained thepoison, except that she remembered hav-ing ordered some bro'ught to her room,which was partakom of by herself and herdaughter Gracie, wilbh no ill effects.

A strange circumstance is that of the 11powders left by Dr. Bullman to be admin-istered every hour to Mrs. Bliss bub onewas used, although five or six hours inter-vened before Mrs. Bliss' death. I t is notalleged that Mrs. Fleming was in thehouse at the time. Taken all in all theBliss; poisoning ..furnishes many features,and it promises to take rank with themost famous mysteries in the annals ofcrime.

Xluce ITor the Cup.

NEW STOBK, Sept. 6.—It is safe to saythat no previous contest for the Ainerica'scup has ever aroused suoh intense andwidespread interest on both sides of theAtlantic as the races between the Defend-er and Valkyrie III .

Not only are hundreds of strangers intown from Boston, Philadelphia, Balti-more, Chicago and many other cities ofbhe'far west, eager to witness the grandstruggle between the two speediest yachtsever built, but the number of foreign vis-itors who are here for the same purposehas never before been exceeded.

The hotels are packed with guests, andevery available excursion steamer in thevicinity has been pressed into service toaccommodate the thousands of sightseerswho will witness the rare spectacle.

Such a big rush for the ocean coursehas been anticipated that unusual precau-tions have been taken by the oup commit-tee to have the course properly patrolledso that the racing yachts shall not be in-terfered with by the excursion.fleeb. The• patrol force will be in charge of ~B. S.Osbon, who looked after the recent navalparade at the opening of the Harlem shipcanal, and" Lieutenant Dolehanty, super-visor of the port. Colonel Gillespie of theengineering corps of the United Statesarmy and the navy yard officials- are allinterested in securing fair- play for theracers.

The Cushing and Stiletto and bhe bugsNina and Catalpa from the navy yard willlead the patrol division, and members ofthe New York Yacht club have tenderedtheir steam yachts to act as patrol vessels.

The committee has also issued a noticeto all captains of excairsion boats andpleasure craft, urging bhe necessity ofkeeping an absolutely, clear course anddoing all in their power to prevent inter-ference with the racos, so that there maybe no cause for complaint, as there was onseveral occasions during the internationalraces two summers ago.

A Fine View Assured.Carelessness on tho part of one captain

might spoil a race. It is bolieved, how-ever, that with "tho large patrol force atcommand there will be no difficulty inpreventing interference with the yachtsand that every excursionist whose boat isable to keep pace with tho racers willhave a fine view of the contest.

There never was less speculation on aninternational yacht race than there is onthe result of the present series betweenthe Defender and the Valkyrie ITT.

There have been any amount of mouthbets—that is, men who seldom beb morethan a few dollars have been visiting thebig hostelries offering to bet thousands.If any one appeared who wanted to bet, asquabble about odds ensued, and no agree-ment was reached. This was what theman who offered to bet thousands reallyinbended.

A man of this caliber called at the St.James hotel a few nights ago and offereda liberal commission to J. J. Manning ifhe would find a man willing to bet $1,000against §1,000. Manning secured a manwilling to accept the figures. Then, tohis chagrin, bhe would be bettor refusedto lay more than 11 to 10 on Defender.

The Wall sbreet punters have wageredmore than any oth.er one class. DavisBarnes has placed several thousand dol-lars on Valkyrie I I I at odds of 10 to IS.He booked yesterday wagers of S600 toS500 with J. B. Harriman, William Bob-inson, William Putnam, Daniel Chaun-cey and James W. Gladwin. George Shel-don bet him §1,200"*against SI, 000.

In addition to these wagers, Barnesmade a wager of $5,000 against S6,000with a prominent yachtsman who declinedto havo his name mentioned. A few scat-tering wagers at 13 to 10 have been made,but they were for $100 or less.

HAVANA, Sept. 6.—Senor Emilio Caste-lar, the former Spanish republican leaderand president of tho executive power inSpain after the abdication of King Ama-deo in 1873, has written a complimentaryletter to Captain General Martinez de Cam-pos, in which he expresses his admirationof tho courage, heroic self denial and no-bleness of heart which he ascribes to thesoldier. He declares thafc the prestigewhich Captain General de Campos enjoysis recognized throughout the world by hisown generation, which is rich in notablemen. Senor Castelar adds an expressionof faith that the boldness, strategic knowl-edge and deep political ideas of Marshalde Campos, qualities which are recognizedeven by his enemies, will soon give peaceto Cuba and sbrongbhen the fraternal tieswhich unite this beautiful island with hernot less goodly mother, Spain.

Captain General Canipos has repliedthat he is not entitled to the praise so lib-erally bestowed by Senor Castelar. Hisonly aspiration as a soldier is to do hisduty, which he considers is never entirelyperformed to his satisfaction. He express-ed the belief that Senor'Castelar's compli-mentary letter is inspired by his feeling ofloyalty as a Spaniard, re-enforced by hissplendid fancy.

THE KAISER'S SPEECH. /

HIa Threa t Against t h e Socialists Still Dli-cussed I n Europe.

LOSDOS, Sept. 6.—An editorial in TheTimes, commenting upon Emperor Wil-liam's appeal to the guards against the So-cialists, says:

"I t is easy to attach exaggerated impor-tance to such a phrase uttered in the heatof a patriotic address. The occasion wasone of national rejoicing, and it is hardlyconceivable that it was meant to convey adirect threat of military action. All thelame, it is important as revealing the anx-iety of the imperial mind over the mag-nitude and vitality of the Socialist party.

"If the emperor's speeches shall lead themiddle classes to meditate seriously uponthe danger of socialism, the question willbe settled without invoking the guards oreven resorting to the antiquated and futileexpedient of press prosecution, except fqrincitement to crime."

A Berlin dispatch to The Times saysthat the prohibited Sedan Socialist meet-ings were held Herr Auer, in speaking,declared that the Socialists were, not theenemies of the empire, and that if a freshwar were to break out with France on ao-count of the imperial provinces of Alsace-Lorraine the German socialists wo aid cer-tainly nob agree to the cession of theprovinces.

The Vorwaerts declares that it will ap-peal against the new attack on the free-dom of the press.

There is no real reaction in business.Gains which were recognized as temporaryare vanishing, but .(there remains a decid-ed increase over' last year at date, al-though prices average S. S per cent lowerthan a year ago. I t needs no keen observ-er to see that the reaction againsb rapidadvance of prices is strong. Hides werethe first to rise, but a decided break hascome. Coke was suddenly raised to §1.40,but has recently sold at $1.10. Wheatjumped over 20 cents to 84, but is nowslow of sale at about 65. Wool was late inrising, but has lost about an eighth of acent in average price within the past fort-night. Iron still rises, the miners' strikehaving hindered shipments of ore, butwith troops guarding, the ore begins tomove. Cotton is strong, but has paused.The general tendency to curtail purchaseswhere prices have notably advanced growsclearer in boots and shoes, in wool, andin some products of iron.

The combinations have again advancedprices of bar iron §2 per ton, and of wirenails 20 cents per. keg, while besseiner isquoted at §17.40 at Pittsburg, and. easternmanufacture from imported ore has againcommenced to supply western consumers.Special causes are the wholly unprece-dented bridge building, the continued de-mand for buildings in cities and heavyshipbuilding on the lakes. Too late forinfluence as yet on prices, Marquettemines have begun shipping ore and work-ing new miners with military protection,and if disturbance does not result onecause of the rise in iron wiil be removed.'Consumption already hesitates, and rail-roads have not much expanded their de-mand for rails. Copper is also a shadeweaker, with large supplies; tin, with26,-390 tons in visible stock, domestic and for-eign, and lead, with sales of 1,500 tonsdomestic.

l e a t h e r Trade Dnll .In the boot and shoe industry many

shops are discharging hands, and inwoolen manufacture a few works areclosing for want of orders. Shipments ofboots and shoes now fall below last year'sor those of 189S, and except in split shoesthere are but few orders. Dealers are dis-tinctly slow to buy at advanced prices.But holders of western hides who refusedQ% cenfcs a fortnight ago are hunting forbuyers at 9 cents. Sales of wool, whichaveraged over 10,000,000 pounds per weekwhen great speculative stocks were beingtaken, have shrank to 5,3S0,500 for theweek against 7,557,300 for the .same weekin 1892. The average for 104 grades-isnow 14.6S cents against 14.48 a year agoand 32.SI in 1893. Manufacturers buy.slowly because business in all men's goodsis dull, -particularly in medium and lowgrades. Bnports are large, but it is statedthat Bradford manufacturers find it hardto get labor enough to fill their orders, sothat delay may cancel many contracts, asinferior quality has canceled some already.The cotton manufacture has rising cottonand a strong market to help, but a chanceof a great strike for higher wages.

The brightest feature in all the horizonis the certainty that the crop of corn willbe enormous. Frosts now can only affecta small fraction, and the surplus will gointo manufacture of meats, because at35.7 cents at New York, nearly 41 centslower than a week ago, there is no otherprofltablo use for corn. The latest-reportsDf wheat thrashing induced the best west-ern judges to raise their estimate of yieldover 40,000,000 bushels, and with 450,-000,000 bushels added to 70,000,000 bush-els brought over the supply will exceed allprobable demands. The price has againdropped about 3 cents, and wibh westernreceipts of 4,550,104 busbels against5,564,310 last year the western farmerseems again to discover that holding backwheat is a losing business. Atlantic ex-ports have been only 1,847,352 bushels,flour included, against 2,799,860 last year,Pacific shipments continuing large.

Cotton Develops Weakness.

The one farm product which has beenstrong because certainly short in yield rosefrom 8.19 cents for spot cotton last weekbo S.25 on Tuesday, but has since beenweak in spite of concerted official state-ments that the decrease is 38 per cent insome states and 27 per cent in Texas. Thepublic observes much organized and skill-ed labor in theso reports, and also sees,what many spectators refuse to see, the3,0 )̂0,000 bales old- A-raerican broughtover. I t is earnestly hoped that southernagriculture has not sustained so "great a ca-lamity. The annual reports, show-ing alarger yield last year than has been sup-posed, only indicate that more cotton mustremain in the country besides bhe uncon-sumed stocks abroad. A quiet marketwithout much change of prices for a timewould be a blessing to the south.

The railroads have gained .3 of 1 percent in earnings over last year for August,bho last week doing better, though the ton-nage east bound from Chicago was 7 percenb smaller for the month than in 1893,and the earnings oil all roads were 14.3 percent smaller. After several days' strengththe stock market turned downward Thurs-day, and prices closed only 154 cents abovelast week's. Hopes of coal settlement stilldeferred and continuing exports of goldcause uneasiness.

The demand for commercial and manu-facturing loans and for the west is some-what larger, but the money markets arestill easy. Failures in four weeks of Au-gust showed liabilities of 88,046,237, ofwhich S3,844, S32 were of manufacturingand §4,052,385 trading concerns, against§10,139,477 lasb year in all, §3,173,330manufacturing and §5,077,553 trading.Failures for the week have been 18(j in theUnited States against 219 last year and inCanada 38 against 47 last year.

The body was taken to themorgue, and an hour afterward JohnScheidt, a money broker in Graham ave-nue, sent word to the police that yester-day he received the usual remittance forKaiser from Germany. It was §100. Themoney will be used to bury him.

One Dead and the Other Three Dying.SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.—Four young

Japanese belonging to the Japanese Chris-tianjaiission of this city went to a Chineserestaurant at Waveriey place, in the Chi-nese quarter, on last Wednesday night,and shortly after they left the place theywere all taken seriously ill and a doctorwas hastily summoned.

It was soon discovered that they hadbeen poisoned, and antidotes were admin-istered, but -with little effect. After afew hours of agony one of the men died.
