His Brother Not Satisfied With
Suicide Theory
INVESTIGATION HAS BEGUN
Police and Undertaken at Newport
Scout the Idea of Murder and
Say There Is Absolutely
No Room for Doubt.

williansport Pa, August H.-Tt is re-
ported tonight from an authoritative
source that Edward P. Remington is not
SO tisfled that his brother Robert died by
his own hand. When 1t became known
that he was entertaining 4 suspicion of
foul play which originated before he
left Newport with the body, an Asso-
ciated Press representative called on Mr..
Remington and requested a statement.
He replied that he would neither deny
nor affirm anything relative to his
brothers death except that the autopsy
performed today revealed that the bullet
in the mouth caused death. When asked
If the bullet found embedded in the dead
mans brain fit the revolver found by his
side he declaI ed that he had nothing
further to say. Asked If developments in
the case could be expected, he said time
alone would tell
Mr.. Remington ana his attorney. Seth
T. Mccormick, as we'll as the physicians
who performed the autopsy, were togeth-
er in secret conference until late tonight
ard their action is surrounded by much
mystery. They positively refused to give
cut eny further Information.
Murder Theory Secuted.
Newport, R L August A.-The report
that Edward P Remington believes that
his brother Robert was murdered in this
city, was received with increduility to-
night.
Chief OF Police Richards said 1t was
absolutely impossible that Mr.. Remington
could have been murdered. He said he
thoroughly investigated the affair soon
after it happend, with view to finding
whether there might be any possibility
of murder having been committed and
that there could be no doubt but that
the man came to his death by his own
hands. He said that while the body was
lying here awaiting the arrival of the
brother, he examined the revolver with
which the shooting was done. He found
that 1t was an old French revolver and
that 1t had not been bought in this city.
Medical Examiner Ecroyd, who viewed
the body, and who deemed an autopsy
unnecessary, stated tonight that there
was nothing to indicate that the man died
other than by suicide. The only mystery
about the whole affair, he said, was that
he could find traces of only two shots,
while three barrels of the revolver were
empty. When the body was found lying
on its face in the reading room, there
was a scar on the forehead, which the
medical examiner believed had been made
when the body fell by its striking a
chair. He said 1t was possible however,
that the man fired one shot which Just
grazed his forehead. making this scar
while the next two shots, one near the
top of the head, and the other through
the mouth, were the fatal ones. Those
connected with the reading room, both
employees and members, place absolutely
no credence in the theory of murder.
]. ]. Van Allen, whose name has been
mentioned In connection with the case,
is In New York
body also gave It as his opinion that it
must have been a case Of suicide.

TRoTTINe IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Wiseacres Played The Roman to Win
But He Was No Good.

Readville, Mass, August 21-The Massa-
chusetts stake for 2:10 class trotters. the
biggest prize of grand circuit week at
the Readville track, proved to be a COM
monplace affair this afternoon through
Major Delmar's win In three straight
heats. Before the race the wiseacres
were picking The Roman TO win purely
on his splendid races OF late. but the
gelding made miserable showing. Major
Delmar is owned by George Vandyke Of
Boston. The Wheeling. w. Va, mare,
Lady Thisbe. took second money and the
southern mare, Dulce Cor, third.
The Massachusetts had seventeen start
ers. In the first heat Ruth M. had the
pole but Major Delmar took it at the
quarter, with Lady Thisbe at his flank
The Roman broke and the heat was soon
settled. The next heats were of about
the same style. except in the third Dulce
Cor beat out Lady Thisbe for second
place. Thus the stake was won with lit
tie excitement.
The race for foals of 1899 for a purse of
$1,000 was full of breaks, making the
youngsters see-saw to the finish until
the bay colt Chesco from Donerail, KY,
after finishing fifth and fourth in the
first two heats, won the next two heats
handily.

cause for q feud In that county.

This dreadful disease is now very prev
alent in all parts of TIE country, and.
as exposure TO its malignant breath is
liable to occur at any time no matter how
careful we may be, it behooves every
one to take proper precautions. to prevent
the germs from affecting the body. The
doctors say that pure blood, good diges-
ton and regular bowel movements ma
terially aid tho body in resisting attack,
hence it Is the course of wisdom to purify
and strengthen the system without delay.
4 NEST effective remedy for this purpose,
one that combines the necessary proper
ties for purifying the blood. strengthening
the kidneys, toning up the digestive
organs and for cleansing ard regulating
the bowels will be found in tha1 well
known system tonic and purifier. PriclSly
Ash Bitters. This valuable remedy is the
right thing for putting the body in shape
to resist the effect of exposure to small
pox. No one will knowingly expose him
self to this disease. The exposure usually
takes place when it is least expected,
therefore the need for precautionary
measures is the more urgent IT is safe
to say that the frequent use of Prickly
