strOy Himself.

sentative called on Mr.. Remington and re-
quested a statement. He replied that he
would neither deny or affirm anything with
reference to the brothers death, but that
the autopsy today revealed the fact that
the bullet in the mouth caused death.
When asked u the bullet found IN the
dead mans brain fitted the revolver he had
in his hand he declared he had nothing
further TO say. He said time alone would
tell as to further developments in the case.
Mr.. Remington and his attorney, Seth T.

performed the autopsy. were together in
secret conference until late tonight and
their action is surrounded by much mystery.

crodulity here tonight, Chief of Police

ated Press representative, said II was alb
solutely impossible that Mr.. Remington
could have been murdered. He said he had
thoroughly investigated the affair soon after
1t happened, with a view of learning II
there was a possibility of murder, and that
there could be no doubt that the man came
to his death by his own hand. He said that
while the body was lying here awaiting the
arrival Of the brother he examined the re-
volver. He found that It was an old French
revolver and that It had not been bought In

EARLIER MANIPULATION RESPONSIBLE
Collapse that Followed the Gates
Crowds Booming Imposes Sever
HRrdships ON the short
Sighted.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.--shorts in the corn pit
were squeezed badly today and raised
tumult that closely resembled the recent
scrimmages when John w. Gates and his
clique had July corn oornered.
The action in the pit today was largely
the result of the earlier manipulations.
When the Gates crowd was pushing prices
skyward the farmer took a hand in the
business by sweeping his bins clean OF
corn and flooding this market with millions
Of bushels. AS a result, the corner coll
lapsed and prices fell headlong until Sep
tember corn recently sold at so cents.
From rampant bulls. the crowd had turned
bears to a man and sold short many bushels.
Now, the corn to fill September contracts
is not in sight. The bad weather has re-
tarded the maturing OF corn crops until
there has been talk that crops may not be
harvested until hurt by frosts. Under such
conditions shorts want to cover their con-
tract, but holders Of the grain are 10th to
sell.
All Turn Bulls.
At the opening Of trade today everybody
turned bulls. English markets were ad-
vancing strongly. Cash stun was leaving
this market at a good premium over Sep
tember options. Stocks Of contract corn on
hand we're rapidly diminishing. There
seemed no relief for the shorts other than
getting stuff in the pit at the best figure.
AS result almost cents was added to the
price during the morning. September started
started A to IN cents higher than yester-
days closing price at S2h to 81 cents and
in leaps and jumps rose TO SIX cents.
Excitement continued throughout the
session. The old bull crowd was buying
and the shorts had little or nothing offered
to help them out In their plight. Bears
tried to comfort each other with the talk
that there are 1880, 900, 900 bushels of corn
slowly ripening in the felds-one of the
biggest yields in history-but this had no
influence. At top prices some OF the longs
let go in drib lots for profits and prices
sidled of a little. September, however,
closed strong and excited, Az cents higher
than yesterday at 81 cents.
Other markets on change responded to
the furry in corn. Wheat had g good
bulge, September selling as high as 72
cents, but closing only V cent higher at
TN cents and 71% cents. September oats
sold at Ban cents and closed / cent to III
cents higher at 34% to san cents. septem-
ber provisions felt the corn strength mate
rally. Hogs we're higher on the prospect
OF higher fodder prices and September
pork closed 70 cents higher at S1e.s5, Sep
tember lard 40 cents up at $10.97 and Sep
tember ribs 22h cents higher at S1O.12'.

Court viii BE Asked 70 Decide on
Road Law.

Attorney S. d. Irwin has received a
petition from Barnett township, which
he will present at argument court, week
from next Tuesday, asking the court to
appoint road supervisors for that town
ship. This will bring the matter forward
in such a manner as to get the courts
opinion on the status of road matters in
this county, and will settle the question
as to whether or not the law so far as it
relates to Forest county has been repealed.
In this connection we have letter from
d. l. Ball, Esq, of Warren, whose opin-
ion on such matters will be received in
this county as well nigh conclusive, in
which the view is taken that the repeal
applies only to the extent of tax liens,
municipal improvements, etc., and that it
makes no change as to road officers or
their terms. Following are Mr.. Balls
words;
WARREN, Pa, March q, 1902.
J. L. WENK,
Tionesta, Pa,
Dear sir
The distributed spirit OF our friends in
Forest county over the supposed repeal ol
your road laws, shows how great a mat
ter, sometimes, little fire kihdleth.
AS | read the tax and municipal lien
Act of June 4th, 1901, p. L. 1854, it only
repeals so much of your local road laws
as provides either (a) for the extent of the
taxes or for municipal improvements
either before or after the filing of claims
therefor or (bl for the practice or pro-
ceedure in relation to. or in continuing
the lien of. or enforcing payment of, such
taxes or municipal claims after filing
The act seems to make no change as Il
township officers or their terms.
You will perhaps pardon an outsider
for dipping in his oar, but my apprecia
ton of your valuable paper, and respect
for many friends in your county leads
me to make this suggestion upOna matter
that must he of great public interest in
the county. Very truly yours,
d. L. BALL.
