other wife, out west. At all events, be-
fore she'd been out there long she wrote
back that she'd made a terrible discov-
cry and was coming home at once. She
never reached home. Young Raymond
was not with her when she started, but
his father followed her. She died, sud-
denly, on the way. No one found out
what it was that she discovered, but
Lombard satisfied himself that she was
murdered, and that it was the old Ray
mond who did it. He disappeared, and
nothing could be found of him till it was
told that he died, year or more ago, in
California.

CHILDREN LOSE LIVES.
Sad Burning Accident at Dresden Falls
Yesterday.

Richmond December 3.-The seven
year old daughter OF George Clancy of
Dresden Mills, who had been left at home
by her father TO care for two year old
brother, attempted 20 start fire In the
kitchen stove with the aid OF kerosene oil
and as a result both children were burned
to death and the house destroyed. With
the exception OF the two children there
was no one near the house when the fire
started. and before neighbors, who were
attracted by the sight of the flames, ar.
rived, the boys body was burned to a
crisp. The girl was taken from the burn
ing building, but she had suffered SO Sc
verely that she lived less than an hour.
The house was burned to the ground.
About two weeks ago trouble arose be-
tween Mr.. Clancy and his wife, and the
couple separated. Since that time Mrs.
Clancy has made her home with relatives
in the neighborhood, and the burdens OF
the household, including the care OF the
baby boy, fell on the seven year old Sis
ter, the father being away from home
nearly every day.
About ten O'Clock this forenoon neigh
bors saw smoke coming from the CLANCY
house, and when they hurried to the
scene the place was seen TO be on fire.
That portion of the house in which the
kitchen was situated was q mass OF
flames. and lying near the open door was
the unconscious body Of the little girl.
The babys body was in the midst OF the
flames and almost entirely consumed.
Tenderly the almost lifeiess body of the
little girl was removed to a place OF safe
ty, and although everything was done to
relieve her sutferings she lived less than
en- hour.
The news of the tragedy was brought
bere by a stage driver who carries the
daily mail between this place and Dres-
den, and an undertaken at once went to
the scene to care for the bodies.

REVOLUTION IN METALS.
Copper Taking the Lead In the Great
Race for Prestige.

: In his report, dated November 10th,
the United States Treasury, says OF ex-
ports OF ma nufactured articles, those OF
"copper" increased In ten years-1S90 to
lsOO-from S2,3O0,000 to SIS, 500. 0O0;"
products made from iron and steel being
next in value showing an increase In the
same length of time from $50, 100000 to
Sl21, 500, ono Thus the increase of copper
is over S2 times greater and distances Its
greatest rival, the old Iron King.
The Development OF electricity. In
which copper figures so largely, Is only
In It's Infancy. We are just beginning
to use 1t. Ihe next great step must be
TO harness the waterfalls or the world to
the industries OF the world. There Is
power enough that goes to waste on the
upper Hudson river to run all the light,
heat and power in New York oity.
The city of Buffalo has nearly quad
rupled her manufacturing plants in the
last few years because she can furnish
electric power so much cheaper than
other cities 1t is brought from Niagara
Falls copper wires which weigh thou
sands OF tons.
There is no other metal that can ever
take the Mace OF copper as a conductor
Of the electric current. Silver, which
has 10 per cent. greater oonduotivity, OF
course is barred by its cost from being
used for commercial purposes.
Aluminium was talked of o while ago,
but recent experiments have proved that
a wire having as great conducting power
as copper would be SO large that it would
break under a small load Of ice or sleet
Iron or steel has only abous 40 per cent.
of the conducting power of copper, be-
sides being practically out of the ques-
tion for use in the open air on account
of It's tendency TO rust and corrode, SO
that IL is pretty well settled that for the
purpose of conducting electricity copper
at 25 cents q pound Is cheaper than either
iron or steel or aluminium at present
prices.
The indi3stions are that in much less
time than 1t has taken ron TO gain Its
eminent position In the commerce iai
world, copper Will have far outoiassed
as a source OF revenue to the nation to
the manufacturer and TO fortunate pos
ses sors of copper producing properties.
