ANAL GAMATED COPPER
EXCEPTION TO THE RULE
This Stock Was Strong and AC-
tive Throughout With Only 0C-
CaSionaI Slight Reactions
Buying Was Concentrated in
Character

New York, Oct. 19-There seemed to
be a pause today in the large opera
tions in Northern Pacific preferred that
have given character to the stock mar
ket for two days past, and the pro-
fessional traders made uncertain work
with the stock in the absence of as
sured leadership. The stock opened
unchanged, avanced a point, dipped
two points and fuctuated doubtfully
This unsettled the whole market and
semi-stagnatiOn settled over the deal
ing.
Amalgamated Copper was an excep-
ton and was strong and active
throughout with only occasional
slight reactions The buying was con-
centrated in character and was attrib-
uted TO Boston account, supposed to
be covering by shorts. There was no
news to account for the movement, be-
yOnd the linsistence by copper inter-
ests that the company's stocks on hand
were not unduly large. Sugar and
Peoples Gas showed some sympathy
in the late dealings. Amalgamated
Copper rose 3 points and closed within
a shade Of the best.
This stock held the market against
disappointment of the increase in the
bank loans revealed in the weekly
statement. 1t is confidently assumed
that this is due to the reborrowing
incident to paying off of sterling loans,
which has kept the exchange market
firm all week, in spite of largely-in-
creased supplies of cotton an wheat
bills. A further withdrawal of gold for
Berlin from the Bank of England to-
day indicates a continuance of condi-
tons of hardness in foreign money
markets which has been responsible
for enforcing the paying off of sterling
loans. The market closed irregular
and dull.

court of the claim of the State bank
of Madison against Hinrichs &
Thompson, a dry goods firm which
filed a petition of bankruptcy Dec. 20.
Ten days previously the State bank
secured judgment and levied execution
on two notes aggregating $7,2T591,
and when the firm went into bank
ruptcy the bank claimed precedence as
a preferred creditor and sought to OBJ
tain the full amount of its claim. The
refereee finds that the value of the as
sets Dec. 10, when the bank secured
it's judgment, was SIS, $1,000, while it's
Indebtedness at the same time was
$29, 500.14. He therefore finds that
the firm was insolvent at the time the
bank secured it's judgment, and dis
misses it's claim as preferred credit
or. ut seems inconsistent with the
general purpose and plan of the bank
ruptcy law" referee Lewis says in his
decision, ''to hold that where a debtor
may be solvent by narrow margin,
one creditor may by the levy of an ex-
ecution and a sale of the debtors prop
erty, which will have the effect of
rendering the debtor insolvent, OBJ
tain a payment Of his debt in full while
the other creditors can only obtain a
small per cent. of their Indebtedness "

ELEPHANT DIES
FROM FRIGHT

Eau Claire, Wis, June 29.-Light-
ming yesterday struck the animal tent
of Wallace's circus here, killing the
trick elephant and stunning the entire
menagerie. Many persons were Sc
verely shocked. About fifty men and
boys were in the tent when the bolt
struck. Five elephants, dozen ponies
and two men we're knocked over
Ella the little trick elephant, got up
first and then fell dead. Parker, the
trainer, says she died of fright. There
was heavy rainstorm at the time and
almost incessant lightning and thun-
der and when the four other elephants
revived they were managed only with
difficulty.
The show has been peculiarly I'M
fortunate about elephants, Big Charlie
and two other valuable beasts having
been lost the past few years. The
men and the other elephants and the
ponies were not hurt. Ella was s
years old. The other elephants were
greatly disturbed and tried to revive
the dead one by slapping her with
their trunks, and one poked hay into
her mouth.

Paris-Berlin automobile race yester-
day Fournier arrived at 2:13 p. M,
having done 270 miles in nine hours,
seven minutes and SO seconds, having
practically led his competitors all the
way from AiX-La-Chapelle At Cassel,
Girardot got in front of Fournier and
in the struggle for the leadership the
two cars collided and a boy was in
Jured. Fourier then took and main
tanned the leadership into Hanover
Beyond the accident at Cassel and a
couple Of punctured tires Fourier
had no mishap and his machine was
in good order. He is thought to have
a good chance of winning the race, al
though Antony and De Knyff are run

rived here at 2:50 p. M, Antony at
2:52, Girardot at 2:54, amid great
excitement and confusion.
A hot sun pouring down On the cars
prevented their making anything like
records, but a good average of from
40 to AZ miles an hour was kept up,
the light machines especially record
ing fine performances. The race
seems to show hat light cars on
heavy roads are more practicable than

Conditions in Nebraska Work Hard.

Omaha, June 2S.-New wheat is
moving in Nebraska in great quaint
ties. Box cars are in great demand.
the cereal is being threshed as rapidly
as weather conditions will permit and
the grain is unusually firm and large.
The greatest difficulty is being ex-
perienced in securing men to handle
the crop. The movement of tramps
across Nebraska and Kansas just at
present has ceased, because they have
been hauled from cars along the diff.
ferent lines by farmers and trainmen
and impressed into services. This is
no joke, as large crowd of tramps ut
Orleans, Neb., discovered yesterday.
Thirty were rounded up by farmers
armed with pitchforks at the water
tank near that town just after Sab
bath meeting and marched into the
country. They were parcelled out
among the farmers and told that they
would get 50 a day and food if they
worked their best. mad if they did not
they would be taken to town and con
| fined in jail or on the rock pile as vag
rants. AS rule, this persuasion was
sufficient and the tramps went to work
with much yigor.

MONEY FURRY

New York, June 29-The stock
market was little affected yesterday

part of the concerns outstanding con-

The speculation was extremely slug

Henry w. Taft of counsel for AS

tell whether the firm would resume

house said yesterday:
''The worst is over, l believe all

An intimate friend of Marquad e Co.
says that the liabilities would foot up
between $2,5O0,O00 and $3,OOO,OOO. The
assets, he said, would nearly cover the
debts if sold advantageously; but, II
auctioned would not bring half their

stocks and bonds in New Jersey, Penn

Henry G. Marquad, the millionaire
father of Henry Marquad, promised to
advance $1,50O,OOO to tide he firm over
ut it was not sulnclent.
Bankers do not believe the financial
trouble will go any further. With the
failure of Marquad & Co. and the Sew

past.

MANY PASSENGERS
IN DIRE DANGER

South Norwalk, Conn, June 3d.
The steamer Mohawk, having on board
700 Danbury hat factory employees,
who had been spending the day at
Glen island, struck rock after start
ing on the return and slowly sank to
the bottom. A panic ensued among
the passengers, and in the mad rush
for the life preservers which followed,
women and children were knocked
down and trampled upon. One child
had an arm broken and another was
picked up seriously injured. Three
launches which were nearby went to
the rescue of the passengers who had
jumped overheard. The water had
just begun to wash over the upper
deck when the excursion steamer
Myndertstern arrived and took on
board the remaining passengers.

son Armour's Yacht

New York, June 2S.-Allison V. Ar
mour came very near taking Miss
Clare Bryce to Europe against the will
OF her father, General Lloyd Bryce,
one day last week on his steam Yacht
Utowano.
The yacht, provisioned for a sixty
days cruise along Scotland's coast,
lay of Newport ready to start with
the next tide. From the station of the
New York Yacht club a signal was
uttered. The yachts launch put out
and shortly brought Miss Clare Bryce
with bag and steamer trunk. She
saw surprise in the faces of the voy.
ayers, among them being Mr.. and Mrs.
Jordan L. Mott, Jr. But she found
joyous welcome also.
Meanwhile at the Bryce mansion In
Washington Square North, Miss
Bryces maid had discovered that
madamoiselle's boudoir door was
locked, which was unusual The door
was broken open and it was found
that Miss Clare's travelling gowns am
steamer trunk were also missing.
The now thoroughly alarmed Mrs.
Bryce became hysterical. Servants
were dispatched to various places in
quest of the absent one and the girl
friends of Miss Bryce were called by
telephone. They even tried the coun-
try house at Roslyn, but all to no
avail. Some one suggested police.
but the Bryce household shrunk with
adherence from the thought. The
girl was finally found aboard and
taken home.

mining machinery in the Black Hills
gave rise to a demand for a lubricant.
and several companies and individuals
begun active explorations and de-
velopment for oil. Oil was skinned
from the springs and was hauled to
Deadwood, some seventy miles, by
wagon, where it brought from s26 to
S35 per barrel. Some half dozen wells
were drilled. Only one ever produced
in paying quantities. 1t flowed about
five barrels per day until it caved in.
This particular oil belt has northerly
and southerly trend. 1t is associated
with long, sparsely timbered sand
stone ridge The other field l
visited is a broken continuation Of
this same field, but is some sixty
miles to the southeast in Weston
county. The general character of the
two fields is the same, and the Oil
phenomena are very similar. The
principal difference is in the oil itself.
The oil of the first named or Moorcroft
district is very dark while the New
castle field produces green OIL Both
oils are especially valuable for lubri-
cants. They are entirely free from
grit.
The extent of this oil territory
cannot be safely estimated at this
time, nor is the prospecting that was
done with the various wells of much
value. 1t is quite safe to say, though,
that the productive area is extensive,
and the two fields embrace probably
fifty square miles.
1.-The judgment day for the eastern
Wyoming oil fields seems to be near
at hand, and a general resurrection
may be expected in the near future so
far as reawakened and aggressive
interest is concerned. There are al
ready several men in the field securing
holdings for people in Omaha, Denver,
Kansas City, Butte, Helena, San
Francisco and as far east as Cleveland,
Ohio. Happening to be among the
first in the field, we have secured large
holdings of the choicest land in both
districts. We expect to begin develop
ments within the next sixty days"

SARTORIS.
BUT HAD OFTEN QUARRELLED
End of This ldyIi Called a Triumph
of Common Sense-Gifts Returned
and All Is Serene Agan-Young
People Unsuited to Each Other and
Avoid Future Misery.

London, June 30.-Vivian Sartoris
and Archibald Balfour found their
courtship and engagement so squally
that they decided not to venture on
the stormy sea Of matrimony.
This is the explanation of the bro
ken engagement that their relatives
give. The granddaughter of General
Ulysses Grant and The Drother-in-law
of the Hon. Alfred Lyttleton and dis
tant cousin Of Arthur Balfour, the
leader in the house Of commons, are
persons who know their own minds,
the end of their idyll, though prosy,
is called by their friends a triumph
of common sense.
They met scarcely eighteen months
ago at a party given by an aunt Of
Another party brought them together

fathers cousin, Mrs. Henry Gordon.
Archibald Balfour, at which Miss Sa-
few weeks later, and the result was
that Mr. Balfour was invited to Seven
Oaks, where Miss Vivian Sartoris and
her sister Rosie have a pleasant little
cottage close to the country house of
Mrs. Gordon.
The engagement was announced
soon afterward. But familiarity in
creased only their mutual respect and
failed to fan the fame of love. Zach
held decided opinions and their points
of divergence were more plentiful
than their points of contact. They
could agree on few things of import
ance
Tiffs were frequent, and more than
once the engagement was broken, but
the quarrels were patched up through
the good offices of Mrs. Gordan.
Early this year the marriage was
announced for July and later for the
tenth of that month 1t was to have
taken place at Seven Oaks, from the
house of Mrs. Gordon. Invitations
had been issued, the bridesmaids Sc
lected, page boys named and every
thing settled down to the minutest de-
tails Miss Sartoris' trousseau was well
in hand. She was to have worn a
satin dress exquisitely trimmed and a
long court train.
Presents had begun to pour into the
little cottage at Seven Oaks, including
several from American relatives and
friends. While all this was going on
the lovers we're meeting frequently,
generally at the houses of the young
woman's relatives in the west end Of
London.
By this time it had become notice
able to all that they were unsuited to
each other. They could scarcely agree
on single subject, and bitterness
broke into their conversation even be-
fore other people. Their tastes were
as opposite as the poles.
About fortnight ago they had a
quarrel over furnishing and other
topics connected with the marriage,
and by mutual consent they decided
that nothing but misery could follow
if they were to take steps to bind
themselves to each other forever.
At a meeting of representatives of
both families it was decided that the
