THE BOOM IN OIL
SAID TO BE a SCHEME OF THE
STANDARD

Monthly Statement Indicates That
Consumption Exceeds the
Supply.

NEW YORK, April 10.-The Even
ing Post says: The advance in the
price of National Trannit Pipe line
(oiD certificates is causing con-
siderable commotion among active
oil spectators on the exchange. The
break in the price of oil in 1884,
when it fell from $1.25 to 85c, did not
cause any more excitement than
when the price advanced yesterday
to $1.45. The days of the Bradford,
Wildwood and other prolific fields Of
years ago were brought to mind,
when the sale of from 100000 to
5000, 900 barrels was considered an
average days business.
The gradual declining of the
hitherto prolific fields is said to be
the real cause of the advance, but
aside from that it is very generally

ing paid for credit balances by the
buyers of the National Transit COM

Standard Oil company to encourage
by higher prices new operations:
that the Standard Oil company
would post a-,defnite price that it
would pay for the credit balances

an oil we'll was struck connections
were made with it by the pipe lines,
and when $4,000 barrels had been

and he could Immediately sell it in
any Of the oil exchanges, and in
turn it was the practice of the
Standard Oil company to after
wards purchase the certificate at the
price established by the exchanges.
Officials of the company however.
stated that the business on the
various oil exchanges had fallen
Off to such an extent that the true
market value. of the certificates
could not be obtained in that wav
and that thereafter the conpanv
would establish the price through
its various purchasing agencies
Yesterdays price, $1.47 bid, was the
highest since 1877.

Bennett had been arrested on his farm.
He was perfectly willing to come back
with the officers. and, indeed, had not
the slightest. trouble in proving that he
was at his home in Vermont when the
murder took place. He proved by sew
eral witnesses that he was out of the
state long before my father and l sat
on the step together that evening, and
that he proceeded directly to his home
as fast as the train and stage-coach
could carry him.
The screwdriver with which the deed
was supposed to have been committed
was found by the neighbor from whom
1t had been borrowed in his wife's
bureau drawer. 1t had been returned
and she had used 1t to put up a picture
hook in her chamber. Bennett was
discharged and returned to Vermont.
Then Mrs. Adams told of her finding
the yellow ribbon from Henry Ellis
whip and he was arrested, since he was
held to have a motive for putting my
father out of the world. Fathers oppo-
sition to our marriage was we'll known,
and Henry was suspected also Of hav-
ing had an eye to his money. 1t was
found, indeed, that my father had more
money than had known myself.
Henry owned to having driven into
our yard that night. and to having
missed the ribbon from his whip on his
return; put one Of the hostlers in the
livery stable in Digby, where he kept
his horse and buggy. came forward and
testified to hnding the, yellow ribbon
in the carriage-room that Tuesday
night before Henry returned from his
drive. There were two yellow ribbons
In evidence, therefore, and the one pro-
duced by the hostler seemed to fit Hen
ry's whipstOck the more exactly.
Moreover nearly the exact minute Of
the murder was claimed to be proved
by the post mortem examination; and
By the testimony of the stablemen as to
the hour Of Henry's return and the
speed of his horse he was further
cleared of suspicion; for II the opinion
Of the medical experts was correct,
Henry must have returned to the livery
stable too soon to have committed the
murder.
He was discharged. at any rate, al
though suspicion still clung to him..
