GRAVE OF JOHN PAUL JONES
NO TRACE OF IT CAN BE FOUND
IN PARIS.
Intimated That His Remains Were
Deposited In Rented Grave Then
Thrown Into the Potter's Field.

Washington, July 12.-Inquiry was re-
Gently made at the state department
in regard to the grave of John Paul
Jones, the great naval hero of revolu-
tionary days, who died in Paris, July
is, 1882. He was buried there with the
highest honors by the French govern
ment, but it appears that the present
location of his grave is not known.
The secretary Of state recently ad-
dressed letter to Mr.. Henry Vignaud
of the United States embassy in Paris,
asking whether the grave of John
Paul Jones in Paris is known and
marked. He has received a reply from
Mr.. Vignaud, saying that although he
has made earnest and frequent inquir-
les of the city authorities in regard to
the matter, he has been unable to dis
cover the whereabouts of the grave
One thing established by his inter-
view, however, he says is that John
Paul Jones was not buried in the ceme-
terry, where the remains of LAFAYETTE
lie, as has been supposed by some peo-
pie. In another quarter it is intimated
that owing to custom prevailing in
Paris the remains of John Paul Jones
were deposited in a rented grave for a
term of years, and that upon the ex-
piration of the lease great many years
ago, the bones of this distinguished
American patriot were thrown into the
potterS field.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Crop Reports Cause Bearish Feeling
On Chicago Board of Trade.

Chicago, July 12.-September wheat
opened steady sc over yesterdays close
at 1875. The Paris advance of 34G1c on
reports of hot weather in France and
Germany influenced d good deal of buy
source was permanent throughout the
session. The tendency was shown by all
classes of traders to play for rise from
the decline of the past three weeks. The
demand for wheat was taken up by those
who sold calls last night and by noon
September was selling at 1873 Obs Crop
reports were conflicting. Nebraska re-
ported 10.6 per cent of the crop in that
state worthless on account of the weeds,
while Oklahoma reported an increase of
100000 bushels this year over last year
crop. Later adVices caused a more bear
ish feeling. News from France said the
hot weather in that country and Ger
many did not at present threaten the
crop. Northwest receipts continued large
and weather favorable. Some of the
commission houses who bought early in
the session turned sellers and the north
west sold wheat on the advance. Septem-
Der advanced to 1875, and closed at that
price.
Corn was active and strong. September
advanced 8.
Oats were firm and higher in sympathy
with corn and wheat Weather and crop
advices were favorable. September
closed q higher.
Provisions were strong and active. At
the close September pork was 3212c high
er; lard, 715c higher, and ribs, 1Oc higher
at 5.25.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Boston. July 12.-The American Wool 6;
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrw: The
wool market is intensely active and in
creasing in strength. More than 5000 600
pounds of wool have changed hands dur
ing the week. Much of ii has been moved
in large blocks and among the purchasers
have been consumers, large and small,
or traders of every description. The buy
ing has been of more general character
and there is no question that manufac-
turers are figuring more largely than
formerly.
A considerable portion of the business
has been in territory woods. A feature of
the market has been the increased activ-
ity in heeces, prices OF which are verY
strong.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to S,52i00O pounds domestic and
$1,000 pounds foreign, making a total of
S,S34O00 pounds, against a total of 1858, 900
pounds for the previous week, and total
of $4,000 pounds for the corresponding
week last year. Sales since Jan. l. 1899
amount TO 1886 200 pounds, against S.
464,3l0 pounds last year at this time.

WILL CONTEST LEGALITY.
Friends of Mr.. Byers to Make Fight
For Him

EOr Him.
AS stated in yesterdays Herald, the
friends of Rev. James Byers are not
for moment inclined to accept as final
the decision of the meeting held Utter
the services Sunday last, when the
question of re-employing the minister
came up. They assert that the meet
ing was not q. congregational meeting
in the full legal sense of that term, and
that any action taken thereat was not
in any sense binding. A congregational
meeting, it is claimed by those familiar
with the church discipline, should be
announced at the morning services at
least one week before the meeting is
held.
This meeting, it is said. was an
nounced only at the prayer meeting be-
fore the Sunday evening on which it
was held. Many understood the vote
TO be a mere expression of opinion
taken before a number of the people
went away for the summer vacation.
On the other hand, the result was
construed by some to be a decision
against Mr.. Byers and this has raised
and his friends.
They now propose to force the issue,
and will demand that the question be
considered and voted on at a meeting
properly called. When the meeting is
called there will be such a mastering of
forces as will surely raise the total
vote to more than one-fourth the en-
tire membership of the church.
The board of elders could barely mus

of the following five members, viz:

conjoint meeting with the county board

under the impression that the assess
ment was in the neighborhood of $780,
600 less than last year. The county
board, however, produced the books,
showing that there were several offsets
to this.
There was included in the 1898 rolls
over 100000 in transient sheep tax,
which was never collected. under a de-
cision of Judge Rolapp that itinerant
flocks We're not assessable while en-
route.
Previous to the meeting of the state
board a meeting of the county board
was held, when the matter of the as
sesSed valuation and the possibility Of
a raise was taken I'D. A number of
