Cutting Down the Poles.

New YORK, April ls.-The telegraph
poles in this city are being cut down by
order of Mayor Grant, and compelling the
company to lay underground wires as re-
quired by the new law. The fall OF every
pole was hailed with cheers by thecrowd.
The commissioner sent for more police,
so as to be ready for an emergency. The
only poles left standing by the workmen
were those which hold fire department
wires. These will be removed by that
department this week. The electric light,
telegraph and telephone people are help
less, and say that they can only grin and
bear it. Madison and Union squares,
usually after nightfall the brightest and
gayest locality in the city, we're last night

Metal Market.

Mathews & Co.'S circular, issued at Den
yer under date OF the 18th instant, says
general trade reports are very satisfactory
both as to volume of trade and the prices
obtained.
Copper holds its previous anomalous
position. London continues to hang
around f40, but has driited off to e3S,
both for Chill bars and good mercantile,
which would rather indicate that the in
siders suspect rupture at the Paris con-
ference. The New York market has pre-
scented new phase, for mining compan-
les are furnishing consumers with all the
copper they want. They charge them
$3.50 and agree to make the price right
as soon as the oracle from Paris is made
known. OF course the general expecta-
ton is that the oracle will read l3 cents
or possibly lower. Sales in the open
market have been restricted to 100000
pounds. Lake at l5L cents to Is y cents,
with casting brands rather steady from
$3.50 to IA cents. Reimportation has al
ready set IN, and several parcels OF Balti-
more and Oxford ingots have been brought
back. Meanwhile expectation has ceased
absolutely. There is OF course no outlook
in copper for anything but very mixed
and unsatisfactory market for many
months to come.
Lead has taken a turn for the better,
but the turn has scarcely strength enough
to be considered as more than tiuctuation.
Early in the week at New York SO. IS was
bid and $3.67h asked, but as the days
went by, business rolled up into the hun
dreds Of tons and reached total of over
1000 tons at steadily increasing prices for
spots and futures, until 1870 was paid for
spot and 1915 for July and August.

Painful Injury by a Bullet.

Health Officer Starr, in loading a pistol a
day or two ago was shot in the hand. He
had noticed a little boy on the street hold
ing a shepherd dog which was bent on
chasing some children. After a few futile
efforts to get away, the angry dog turned
on the boy and was, to all appearances, GET
ting the best of the struggle, when the of
ficer stepped up and shot the canine
through the body, killing it. Starr re-
turned home, and was in the act of re-
placing the empty cartridge with a loaded
one, when the weapon wa discharged.
The ball penetrated the flesh near the wrist
joint of the left hand and followed along
the bone, coming out near the base of the
little finger. Mr.. Starr considers himself
fortunate in getting off so easy. The wound
is a painful one, bat will not incapacitate
the officer from duty.
