The Death of His Wife Is Now to Ee Inves-
 tig-trd.
 PROVIDENCE, Oct. I2-As a result of a second autopsy on the boiy of Emily C. Chambers. who is alleged to haVo been murdered by Lawrence kecgan. 1t has becn decided that two shots were fired. one bullet entering the left breast and tho other passing through the loft side of the back
 Only one bullet was found in the body, and that was Of :i2 Ca'ibcr. n perfect match for the ones remaining in the re- volver KeeGan borrowed of Taylor two days before tho murder kecgan appears nervous and excited over his imprisol. ment, but still asserts his innocence.

Is AIix Faster Than Maud <:

Robert Bonner does not believe Alix's a:O3s1 Is any faster than Maud S's 2:OSas. Only five of the 30 trOttcrs In the q: 10 list made their records to n high wheel sulky. These are SunOl, 2:OSI,; Maud =, 2;OS9.; Palo Alto, 2:OSN.; AllcrtOn, 2:O9il; Jay Eye-Scc, 2::O. All the others had the ad- vantage of bicycle sulky, which Is from five to six seconds faster than the high wheel. Sunol Is the fastest tTottcr to a high wheel, but her rccord was made on n kite track, which Is considerably faster for old fashioned sulkics than the oval. The one long turn produces less friction than two shorter turns Tho pneumatic tire runs so easily on tho turn that the kite handicap disappears when it Is used
 The fastest mile to high wheel sulky on n regulation track Is the 2:OS54 of Maud . at Cleveland in 1885. Although Alix has carried tho record down to 2:O3a{, says Turf, Field and Farm, grave doubts exist ss to whether she can go to Cleveland and trot a mile to high wheel sulky in s:OS2z.

Corbett. Fitzsimmons.

The fight will probably come of in New Orleans. It will attract thousands of men and may break all records on the size of the gate receipts. Fitzsimmons Is so anx- ious to make the fight certainty that he is willing to mako anything like liberal concessions in every respect, and Corbett as champion, will not lose many tricks, however, in dictating terms. It is possi. ble that the winner may take the entire purse and stake. That will depend on Corbett. As great battles have resulted fin tho last few years the betting on this contest should not Dc overwhelmingly in favor of Corbett. Corbett should win this battle, which will be ono of the greatest ever fought. It has been argued all along that Corbett would derivo no credit from defeating Fitzsimmons, but as a matter of fact their measurements are not so widely apart as sporting men seem to i'm agines~
