An interesting incident of the pres
ent state of the copper market is the
receipt at New York this week of a
lot OF 9.9S9 bags-about $50 tons-of
copper coins from India. These coins,
which are consigned to the Oxford
Copper Company, are shipped here as
scrap copper, simply because they are
worth more, at the present price or
copper than their face or coin value.
We have recently referred TO the
trouble arising in China from the rela-
tive high metal value Of copper coins
and the same condition seems TO be
felt 10 India. 1t will doubtless con-
tinue and we may expect to hear of
more imports OF the same Kind. -En-

line of the rocky wall until they reached
a narrow ledge affording a precarious
passage up to the table-land. Emerg-
ing, after a breathless scramble, upon
the unsheltered mountain-top, where
the wind had full sweep, they pushed on
gasping until they stood in the small
ravine under the lee of the powders
marking the entrance to Ringbrands
prison. jeff uncoiled the rope he had
brought, and was preparing to descend,
when Jed stopped him:
Don't We low that'll be sort O. resky?
If that thar feller's what We done took
him for, he's gwine fight, for shore. He
aintgwine stan sti1an' lowye to shoot
him in col blood"
The caution brought back with ap-
palling distiDctness the ghastly horror
OF the deed they were about to do, and
they paused in fearful hesitation. Then
Bud proposed that they go down into
the other cavern, using the narrow
crevlce for a loop-hole, and few min
ttes later be and JEFF were standing in
the pitchy darkness of the subterranean
chamber, while Jed watched at the
aperture above. JEFF felt his way along
one of the walls until he came to a niche
where they kept a miners lamp, and,
Lighting this they cautiously recon-
noitered the adjoining chamber as well
as they could by its inefficient help. The
light from the lamp penetrated but a
short distance beyond the narrow
opening, but it answered the purpose,
and they could see the shadowy outlines
of the figure of a man stretched out
upon the sandy floor of the cavern. jeff
handed the lamp to his brother and took
careful aim at the motionless form;
his hand trembled so that he could not
hold the gun steady, and he got down
upon his knees and rested it against tbs
side of the crevice. Even then he was
so long about it that Buds nerve col
lapsed and the lamp fell from his shak-
ing fingers; it did not go out and as he
held it up again he whispered: Shoot
quick! l can't"
A binding fash illuminated the
cavern, and the dead air of the place
Jared with a conclusion that put
out the light and reverbrated like
pent-up thunder in the arches of the
vault. The two men fell over each
other in their frantic haste to reach
the open air, fighting like Gagged
wild beasts for precedence up the
difficult stairway; and when they
emerged from the mouth of the smoky
pit, the contagion of terror communi-
Gated itself to their passive accomplish,
and the three men scattered in a mad
fight toward the cove.

A sUBTERRAYEAN METAMoRPHosIs.

A sUBTERRANEAN NETAMORPHoSIs.
When Ringbrand opened his eyes he
found himself lying on his back in
what appeared to be the bottom of q
well; at least, that was his second i'm
preston. With the first CLEANS of re-
turning consciousness there was no
recollection of the events Immediately
preceding his fall, and for a moment
he had vague idea that he had
stumbled and hurt himself in the road,
and that the clouds had covered all but
the small patch of sky directly over
head where the stars were still visible.
Then memory came back, and he re-
called the details of she capture up to
the sudden blank following the plunge
into the hole between the powders. A
sharp twinge Of pain bridged the in
terval and reminded him that there
were two present and pressing sources
of discomfort in the gnarled log across
which he was lying and in the vice-ike
pressure of the rope which still bound
his arms to his sides. To wriggle out
of the uncomfortable position was easy,
but loosening the rope was another mat
ter. The knot had been drawn tight
by the jerk Of his fall, and it was an
hour or more before he succeeded in
working it around where it could be
reached; even when this was done, II

critically Shot

Yesterday afternoon about 12:45
O'Clock George Farrar, the ~16-year-old
son of Mr.. j. B.. Farrar, accidentally
shot himself with a 32-calibre pistol at
his home, up stairs, at 105 Dock street,
between Front and Second. While alone
in his room he took the weapon
from the head of the bed and
loaded it, and in breaking the BAR
rel back into position, the pistol went
off. The bullet entered the left upper
part of the abdomen, passed through
the stomach and lodged under the skin
at the small of the back. Several ply
s~icians, including DR.. w. D. Mcmillan,
DR.. w. j.. H. Bellamy, DR.. R. E. Zach
cry and DR.. r. j. Price, were called to
the wounded youth, and they pronounce
ed the wound a very critical one. The
patient at midnight, however, was con-
scious.
The wounded boy clerks at Warren's

George Reuntree, amending the city
charter, n suggesting several
changes Several petitions Of the same
text We're circulated, and some were for
warded yesterday to our representa-
tives in the general assembly. We are
informed by a gentleman interested in
the petition, that about two hundred
signatures were forwarded, including
the ame Of about two hundred bust
ness men. He informs US b nearly
every business man on Water street.

gestions.
The following is the text of the petit
ton forwarded:
Hon. George Rountree, Hon. NJ. s..

Of the city of Wilmington, now pend
ing in the legislature, which was in
due by Mr.. Rountree, and respect
fully urge it's passage, suggesting,
however, the following changes, which
We think would make it more salts
factory:
Section g.. We think it would be
better for the present Board of Alder
men TO elect the Police Commission
provided for.
Section 8. The provision for a clerk
for the police board should be stricken
out.
Section 10. We him policemen and
hremen should be tried by the commits
sion and not by the mayor.
Section IL. We think it would be
best not to have primaries make rec
concentrations for appointment on the
board of audit n finance"
The sections above refer to the Sec
tons of Mr.. Rountree's bin, in which
the changes are suggested.
Some of the petitions are still being
circulated in the CITY, but one of our
prominent business men who has been
securing signatures informs us that it
is understood as to his petition that
the suestions as to the change in Sec
hon ., referring to the election of the
police commissioners by the present
Board of Aldermen, is not endorsed,

After a most delightful and gener-

ed and eager to visit the tomb of

we were compelled to defer, as the

ding a most cordial, but, regretful
adieu to our charming hostess, we as
cended the waiting car and took our
trip to the pier just as the Wilmington

joyment in u calendar, and our hearts
are filled with grateful thanks to those
made this privilege possible.

Plants Very Wide
The Norfolk Landmark of yesterday
says:
The largest lumber combine in the
history of the trade will be the propos-
ed trust to control the North Carolina
pine lumber market. If the scheme.
which is backed by heavy Boston CAPT.
tai, goes through, the North Carolina
Pine Association, of this city, which al
most controls the market at this point.
will become a part of the new organi-
zation. The individual firms compos-
ing the association will, according 20 a
prominent lumberman of this city. Join
the trust with the sole object of arrest
ing the chaotic condition of the trade
and rendering it possible to continue
the mills in operation.
The scope of the new concern is very
wide, contemplating, as it does, the
control OF twenty-five leading con-
Germs, with mills having a capacity of
over six hundred million feet of lum-
Der per year. The estimate Of $40, OOO.-
O0O capital is said to be somewhat un-
der the amount that will be required to
nnance the new concern. This city is
he centre of the Carolina pine lumber
market, and will therefore be one OF
the combines most important head
quarters.
The North Carolina Pine Lumber AS
ISOLATION was organized in Norfolk
some time ago, it's members being for
the most part firms engaged in the
handling of that staple at this point.
1t has accomplished in a large measure
the purpose for which it was organized.
and the success attendant upon it's eff

where it would again be profitable to
engage in the lumber business has I'M
But what l want to impress upon

The same gentlemen who gave the
information concerning the WILLINGNESS
OF the Norfolk lumbermen to join hands
with the combination, which, he de-
clares. can scarcely be correctly denom- |
mated a trust" does not hesitate to
say that in the present condition of the |
market the combine will have difficulty |
perfecting it's organization. In fact,
he doubts seriously the contamination |
the scheme. If, however, it should
be established, Norfolk and Norfolk |
men will be prominent factors in it," |
