Another theory for the suicide, but which
Is receiving little attention. except as in

story of r. j. Deiano. attorney for the dead
man, who referring 70 the suicide to-day.
said: He called upon me in the past three
or four weeks almost daily to confer with
me about an attempt which certain
party was making TO secure money from
him. He said that this person had demand
ed $4,000 as tho price of his keeping his
mouth shut concerning what he knew
about the city treasurers office. AT no
time IN these interviews did Foerstel admit
that there was anything wrong in his of.
fee. On the contrary he always declared
himself ready TO stand any investigation,
and his sole purpose in consulting with me
was TO devise some means of siiencing bis
sianderers by public prosecution for
IN getting a written proposition. but In the
course of the negotiations the fellow re-
duced his demand to 5000. When it
came TO facing our demand for proof he
utterly failed to furnish any. Now this
matter worried Ed terribly. One day he
exclaimed, My God, man. 1 can: stand
this much longer. This man is going
around talking about me. and leaving me
no reparation. except perhaps to XIII him..
! think that this slander affected him until
he got out of his head, and in moment of
insanity he killed himself"
Late tonight the investigation Of the city
treasurers accounts was completed. his
books being checked with those of the con-
troller and the banks holding city deposits.
AS q result of this searching inquiry, an en-
bezzlement OF $685. 020 Is was discovered, and
the action already noted taken. In this

her down arrested, but the offenders had
armed themselves and threatened resist

conflict was only averted Saturday by the
Governor promising not to hang the old
woman. The trouble is of such q serious
nature that a troop of cavalry has been or
dered to the scene from Fort Wingate.

Dissolution,of the Chicago Gas Pool Causes

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-There was an ex-
citing time In the Stock Exchange this
morning when announcement was made
that the big pool. including James r.
Keene /. g. s. Wormser and Z. G. Benedict.
had been dissolved. the contract having
expired with Limitation. With the first re-
port there was q stampede among the hold
ers of Chicago Gas certificates and the
price started down rapidly. The traders
who have been watching the stock for
break, offered it down at first; then food
of commission orders come In from oil
quarters. many of them being to sell the
certificates for the account OF spectators
whose margins had been exhausted, for the
pool had worked the price mp to 100 some
time ago and on the way down many out
siders were loaded up. To-day their &C.
counts were closed out Then there were
others who had bought the stock for in
vestment, number of whom joined In the
stampede without understanding what the
reason for the decline was.
On the floor of the Stock Exchange
Whisky Trust is allotted space next TO
Chicago Gas. and the traders in that stock
joined In the rush as soon as Chicago Gas
broke. The books of the Whisky Trust or

BAD FAILURE AT CHICAGO.

Dennis f. Sibley, an Old Board Of Trade
Operator, Caught with Too Much Corn.
CHICAGO, Dec 19-Dennis 4. Sibley, one
of the oldest and bestknown Board of
Trade dealers. was forced to make an as
signment to-day for the benefit of his cred
itors Sibley's liabilities will reach sa6s,.
but it is thought they will not exceed S70.-
0oo, but possibly may reach $4,000. Mr..
Sibley had been buying corn heavily for
December delivery in New York. expecting
that when navigation closed freight rates
would 60 up. and with them the price of
corn and other cereals. Accordingly he
was caught with 100000 bushels Of corn
when the roads cut the freight rates in two
and the bottom fell ont of the market.
Board of Trade men assign the failure to
an attempt by Sibley to corner the corn
market, but such an attempt is denied by
Sibley. Whom the drop came his margins
began to pile mp, and inability to cover
them forced him into bankruptcy. BY the
failure list of over forty Chicago Board
of Trade men are caught for sums varying
from SIS, 900 to 81, 900. Logan IL Co.. Nor
