During the past year he has been in
very poor health, suffering from dys-

children which resulted from his mar
riage have died, caused him to become

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN RAILROADS
The report from over the sea that a
train on the london and Northwestern
Railway has achieved a record Of $40
miles in SIP minutes has stirred up the
champions Of the American railway
system.
The fastest speed yet attained for a
regular schedule by an American train
is that Of the Empire state express,
which covers the distance between New
York and Buffalo via. Albany GAO
miles, in $50 minutes. To race over the
rails at the same speed as its English
rival the American train would be
obliged TO accomplish It's journey in
n7 minutes. The English locomotive
has. therefore. outfooted this swifJest
American racer of the rails by gain
OF nearly one ana three-Quarters hours.
The English train averaged a mile in

BOSTON, July 3.-The local coffee mar
ket is very steady, and within day or two
an improvement in trade has been re-
ported. In fact the volume of business
and roasters have been busy.
The general trade for Rio and Santos
grades is firm, prices being well sustained
on all grades, but particularly so on the
better quality of stock for which there has
been more demand during the week. Low
grades are in full supply and weak.
The reported damage to the growing
crops was evidently not serious, to judge
from reports received from Brazil re-
Gently. 1t is claimed that it is too early
for serious damage Som frosts.
Stocks of mild grades are increasing
some, owingNo the very moderate demand
for Maracaibo which for the moment 3p-
pears to be neglected. Latest figures of
stocks in first hands were 95, 1913 bags, in
cluding 1854 bags Maracaibo.
Quiet and easy has been the condition of
the tea market the past week. More new
FOrmosas have arrived overland from the
Pacific steamers, but buyers continue to
hold off and take only small lots. 1t is too
early, they say. to stock up, and importers
are not disposed to urge sales.
The market for raw sugar has been dull
and refiners appear to be out of the mar
ket, Offerings are moderate at 81 cents
for 96 degrees test centrifugals and 2X
cents for fair refining.
There is no change in molasses. Busi-
ness has been very quiet and prices are
nominally steady, with fancy New Or
leans quoted at "a to 35 cents per gallon
and choice at 30 to 33 cents. Centrifugal
grades are quiet at II to 20 cents per gal
Ion for choice, while good sells at Is to 16
cents per gallon. Foreign molasses has
been quiet and steady at q to 2S cents for
fancy Ponce and % to 26 cents for choice.
The market for iron and steel continues
to show rising tendency, and there is no
doubt that the improvement has come to
stay. Both crude iron and all kinds of
manufactures have taken an upward turn,
and the furnaces and mills seem to be
well supplied with orders.
The advance reported in Pennsylvania
pig last week is sustained, and sales have
been made at S14 to S1450 for No. foundry
and s13 to $3.50 for No. delivered here.
Ohio and southern pig also hold the ad-
vance, and sales rule at $12 to $3.50 per
ton delivered at New England points.
The tone of the wheat market is firmer
and better than it pas been for some days
past.

rangelnents

Two contacts were made, but all the
physicians and electricians claim that tho
second contact was merely precautionary
and that the victim died instantly. There
were no burns and no unpleasant features
and every physician present declared the
execution success. The body has been
claimed by friends, aud the case will go
down into history as cause celebre.
Buchanan's Fight For Life.
Some three years ago young physician
named Buchanan poisoned his wife, dis
reputable bur wel-to-do woman, in order to
possess himself OF her property and to take
new spouse. A year later he was con-
victed on the charge, after a remarkably
long and sharply contested trial, full of
the legal medical and chemical intricacies.
His lawyers took an appeal to the highest
court in the state, and it, after months of
delay, affirmed the verdict.
The murderer was duly sentenced, and
for a time he seemed to submit to his fate;
but as the day of execution approached, a
lawyer, who is said to be seeking noto-
riety undertook to save him from death.
AS every recourse to the state courts was
exhausted, he applied to the federal tri
bunals in fashion familiar in such pro-
cedure, but without success. As Bu-
chanan was by birth Nova Scotian, the
lawyer then invoked the aid of the British
embassy. When Sir Julian Pauncefote
refused him, he turned forthwith to the
Masons, of which fraternity the murderer
was member.
Baked in this quarter, he sought to Sc
cure statements from medical men cast
ing doubts upon the expert testimony that
had contributed much TO Buchanan's con-
viction. Falling in this venture yet again,
when the day of execution was close at
hand he finally pretended that he had re-
nounced all hope of the salvation of his
client, and, aided by the murderer's fam
lily, besought the governor to grant Bu-
chanan weeks respite, during which he
might prepare himself for death.
AS any humane magistrate would do,
Mr.. Morton complied, and the execution
was accordingly deferred until May l.
No sooner, however, was the reprieve
granted than Buchanan and his lawyer
set about the devising of new pretexts for
application to the federal courts, and they
so far succeeded that yet another post
ponement of the execution become neces-
sary until the supreme court could give
fresh decision upon a request for its inter-
vention. This failed also, and DIR. Bu-
chanan was resentenced, and finally ex-
plated his crime in the electrical chair.
The question of Buchanan's guilt en-
tered little into these devious proceedings.
The obstacles raised have been mere legal
subterfuges designed to prolong the exist
ence of a condemned man, in the hope
that by hook or by crook his sentence
might be commuted to imprisonment for
life
