Thirtl Time ie the Charm.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 3.-For the third
time the sentence of death was to-day
passed on VIM. Kemmler, the murderer,
whose case has become famous through the
long fight in the courts against the electri-
cal execution law. In the court of Oyer
and Terminer this afternoon Judge Childs
ordered his previous sentence to be carried
into effect at the Auburn prison during the
week of August 4th.

These figures for 1883 and 1889 show
clearly enough the effect of the unnatural
imitation caused by the corner. When
prices were rapidly advancing from 10o
without any apparent reason therefor in
the conditions of supply and demand the
though perhaps not SO much as was gener--
ally supposed. Unusual quantities of old
metal and Of "invisible supplies" generally
were worked up, and there was conse-
quently an accumulation of visible copper.
During the past years the conditions have
plies have been apparently reduced, and,
with very heavy and in some respects ex-
traordinary consumption, the production
of the mines has been more than taken.
Production, moreover, has been and is
steadily increasing. The American mines
are running to their full capacity, and yet
ing smaller and smaller. One factor in the
situation is set forth in recent English
circular as follows: 1.-THE demand for the
purpose of sulphate of copper making con-
tinues and it is estimated that 25,0O0 tons
(5,60O,OO0 pounds) of fine copper per annum
are now being used for this object. Some
estimates run very much higher, but the
figure named, if the demand becomes per-
manent, is likely to have as much influence
on the course of prices as any of the causes
which led to the fall. The popularity
about this trade ls that the copper is used
once for all. and never returns to be worked
up afresh."
Lake Superior and other fine brands of
copper seem to be apparently in better de-
mand than the cheaper sorts. It is be-
lieved that no great amount of the stocks
accumulated by the French combination
remain undisposed of. Spectators have
taken advantage of the situation as we'll as
manufacturers. This, of course, tends to
sustain the market, and predictions of 1Sc
and bets of COO per pound for lake copper
within six months are not unheard of.
These conditions are naturally reflected in
the market for copper stocks. The leading
mining shares at Boston have advanced
rapidly from the lowest quotations of 1889.
Calumet d Hecla, for example, which sold
at 1893 at one time last year, has been quot
ed recently at 1924, while Tamarack has risen
from Sc, the bottom of last years depres-
sion, to the phenomenal price Of 227. In
yestments at such prices, however, it must
be said, are risky, and if this is true of
standard properties like the above it is, of
course, doubly true of concerns whose posi-
tlon is less assured, and of the numerous
wildcat copper schemes which always come
to the front under favorable conditions.

Opposed to the Blacklist.

New YORK, Jwly 3.-The American Boiler
Makers association to-day decided to or
ganize local boards in various cities to have
control of local matters. The next meet
ing will be held in St. Louis. President
Curran delivered an address, in which he
denounced as untrue the statement that the
brotherhood was arrayed against the manu-
facturers. Referring to the report that the
manufacturers association was to have a
blacklist he said that organized labor was
opposed to such step and the man who
first adopted it would be sure to go under.
Several of the manufacturers in reply said
no such thing as a blacklist had been
thought of.

.THE LORDS MINK FARM"

An English Nobleman's Investment I'm q
Nebraska Industry.
G. A. Hastings, a western merchant, who
dined at the Palmer house last evening,
told story at the expense of an English
nobleman who was in this country last
year. says the Chicago Tribune.
Lord Wynford stopped at North Platte,
Nebraska related Mr.. Hastings, "during
his tour of the prairies. He seemed greatly
pleased with the wild west and intimated
that he would like to invest some money in
something good. There was smart young
Irish lawyer in the town whose parents
had had some unpleasant dealings
with Lord Wynford in the old country.
This young lawyer had lived in North
Platte about two years. He came there to
examine a claim he had purchased on paper.

"You could not raise even sage brush on
the claim, so close together were the bur-
rows of the little animals. He had about

looking for q good investment. Then he
called upon the wealthy foreigner and Of

this country. The young Irishman pledged
Lord Wynford to say nothing of the deal,
as his mink farm was only known to d
few who were in similar enterprises. Then
ne drove his guest ont to the prairie dog
farm.
Here an extensive tract of land destitute
of trees and alive with little animals that

Free Use Made Of the Metal in
Electrical and Mechanical
Concerns
Trade On a Natural Footing and
Buyers Eager For the
Metal
American Mines Running to Full Capacity
Accumulated Stores OF Copper
Growing Smaller.

New YoRK, July 3.-Bradstreet's says:
Advancing prices and active demand in the
copper market have been among the more
noteworthy features of mercantile opera
tions during the past three months. Both
in the United States and Europe the metal
is going into consumption with unusual, if
not unprecedented, rapidity. AL sorts of
electrical and mechanical concerns in which
copper is ordinarily employed are making
free use of it, Notwithstanding its compare
lively high cost. Before the French syndi-
cate began it's operations the market had
dropped to ten cents per pound for Lake
Superior ingot, with other descriptions on
the same basis. At that price consumption
was large, and it was generally assumed
that any decided rise in value would cur
tail the use of the metal. This assumption
wastemporarily borne out. The unnatural in
flation of values through the corner un-
questionably reduced demand to some ex-
tent. Now, however, there is no corner,
but trade is on a natural footing, and buy
ers are taking the metal for use without
hesitation, Notwithstanding the fact that it
costs almost, if not quite, as much as when
the syndicate was at the height of it's power.
The American market has been strong late
ly at 1916 per pound. So large sales a. have
been made during the past season, and so
extensive and general demand for actual
consumption at this price. or a few points
lower, would have been deemed wholly out
of the question three or four years ago.
There has been this spring steady dimi-
mutton of the supply Of copper abroad. The
amount on hand in Europe and afloat on
the sixteenth inst, is reported at 75 $50 tons,
against $1,000 Jnne I. The supplies and
deliveries of the last three years ending
June are stated as follows:

nally for points, but it is asserted that the
sports present knew the fight was to
be for blood. Brennan is the man
who recently worsted Tommy White,
of Chicago, in a long drawn out battle.
The match between Brennan and Garrard
was a fierce one, but after the second round
Brennan had decidedly the worst of it. In
the third and fourth rounds he was repeat
-edly knocked down, and in the fifth, after
arising two or three times, both men being
very groggy, Garrard pushed against him
and both men went to the floor, Brennan
underneath. His head struck the hard
boards with resounding crack and when
Garrard arose Brennan was found to be un-
conscious. Physicians were summoned but
up to late hour tonight consciousness had
not returned, and the doctors think he will
die. having undoubtedly suffered concussion
of the brain.
Garrard, Referee Gallagher, and Seconds
Mclnery and Carroll have been arrested.
