The Copper r1ar-
ker.

As predicted in these columns some
weeks ago, copper has not only reached
13 cents per pound, but has passed that
point, sales having been made 10 New
York, the past week, at 1875, and it is
now safe to predict II cents copper with.
in a reasonably short time, us there is
nothing in either the market, the present
production OF the metal, the stock on
hand or the wants Of consumers to an
ticipate lower prices, or the wants of
consumers to anticipate lower prices, for,
in fact. consideration of all these con-
ditions plainly suggests the probability
Of higher prices. The rising price Of the
metal stimulates produ ction, Of course,
but most Of the large producers that can
make profit at present prices are in oper-
alton, as well MS some that are operating
at small loss. The range in price since
1898 has been notable, though being on
an average about II to l3 cents The
lowest price within the period mention
ed was II cents, obtaining in February,
1898, and the highest 1915 cents, in April,
1899; but the firly high price through
out this time has proven n great stimu.
lus to the active development and equip
ment Of copper properties, and no period
in mining history has seen so many and
such large undertakings inaugurated as
within the period named. The wide
range ip price during the years mention
ed has been due partly to manipulation
by large interests, and partly to the nat
ural course OF events in the markets. At
the time Of the organization Of the Anal.
gamated Association, April 20, 1900, with
a capital Of S75,00O0 900, it was pointed
out by the Mining and Scientific Press
that this amount OF capital was insult
ficient to control the copper market of
America, to say nothing of debating the
price for the world. There were too
many large conflicting interests strug
gle to sell all the copper produced, and
no fixed price could be maintained.
While much distrust seems to have
been engendered among large sellers OF
copper by the failure Of certain produc-
ers to report their production according
to understanding or agreement, or the
suspicion that seme Others rendered fic
titious reports this seems to have been
overshadowed by the actual operation
OF the laws o, supply and demand, and
under the stimulus of heavy and con-
tinuous demand tho market price is
steadily advancing. Mining and Scien-

rntn1 Labor rrouhle auarre1.

FREMONT, o., May 11.--A serious
conflict, the outcome of labor troubles
in this city, has occurred here. Otto
Mischke, young man, was shot and
killed and Albert Gummel fatally
wounded, the shooting being done by a
gang of colored nonunion men, three of
whom are now in Jail. The police are
searching for the others. A party had
taken place at the Gummel home, and
as the guests were hOmeward bound
they met a crowd of colored men. Re
marks were passed at which the ne
groes took offense, and the shooting
followed, the colored men starting the
shooting William Kimbro is the man
who is believed to have killed Mischke
A mob has surrounded the Jail, clamor-
ing for the prisoners. A false alarm of
fire has been turned in with the hope
of scattering the crowd. The police are

cued by the Portsmouth life saving
station crew, but one person died a
few minutes after the rescue.
"The Vera Cruz was in charge of a
local pilot, having put in at Ocracoke
inlet for water. She struck the outer
bar and then on the inner bar hard
and fast nearly two miles from the
life saving station. A gale was blow
ing, and the sea was very rough, max
ing the work of rescue extremely dan
gerous. There are only about sixty
people at Portsmouth, so nearly all the
Portuguese had to be taken across the
inlet to Ocracoke, five miles distant.
Some of the cargo was landed, mainly
whale OIL of which sixty tons was on
board.

mill in about ten inches of space.
Before the engineer could get out of
the way the car had crushed him
against the platform.

ATTEMPT TO DYNAMITE UMBRIA.
Internal MachinG on Dock Ready to

Internal Machin& on Dock Ready to
Destroy Cunarder.
NEW YORK, May 11.-An attempt
was made to blow up the Cunard line
steamship Umbria, with passengers
and crew of 700 aboard.
Just before the big ocean liner sailed
an internal machine containing a hun
dred pounds of dynamite was found on
| the dock at the foot of the first cabin
lgangway ready to be taken aboard the
| ship.
Fuses were already burning, and it
| is estimated by the police that the
spark would have touched the dyna-
mite within five minutes
The letter of warning sent to police
headquarters said:
"The Malta greets you and wishes
you well.
"At the Cunard dock is box con-
tanning hundred pounds of dynamite.
Inside of that is a machine that will
explode the stuff within thirty six
hours.
"The society has declared war
against England and has ordered the
destruction of every steamer flying the
British flag that sails out of New York
harbor."
Detectives were sent on the run to
the pier, and they notified Captain
Watson, the superintendent of the Gu
nard dock, and Mr.. Floyd, the agent of
the line.
When Captain Thomas Dutton of the
Umbria was informed of the plot to
blow up the vessel he declined to sail
until the box was found. The police
found the box without difficulty. 1t
was roped and thrown into the water.
At the dock it was said that the box
had been delivered there by two Ital-
lans. One of these men was tall and
dark and smooth shaved.
The only description of his compan-
ion obtained so far is that he was of
medium build and of dark complexion.
The two drove up to the pier in a
small dark green wagon such as may
be seen used by peddlers on the east

LEXINGTON. KY, May H. The
capture of Curtis Jet, charged with the
assassination of ]. B. Marcum in jack
son Monday, has been accomplished
without bloodshed. He is now in the
Clark county Jail at winchester.
Bearing a warrant which had been
sworn out by Sam Jett, uncle of the
accused, Sheriff McChord and a posse
of seven men left Winchester at mid
night Saturday. Reaching Jackson's
Ferry, ten miles distant, at 2:3O a. M,
they left their buggies and crossed the
Kentucky river to Madison county in
canoes. They proceeded on foot to the
home of Mrs. A. Haggin, Jett's mother
er, two miles from the ferry. Six of
the posse were stationed around the
dwelling, and Sheriff McChord and
Deputy Stokeley approached the front
door and knocked Jett's mother an
swered and after some parley admitted
that Curtis was within They were ad-
mitted and found Jet awake, but in
bed. He shook hands with the sheriff
and said that he would give no trouble.
Reaching under his pillow, he drew
out his pistol and turned it over to his
mother to keep. He made no show ef
resistance and was landed in Jail at
Winchester by daylight.
Jett's stepfather, A. Haggin, charges
that when Jett reacheG house Sat

hood Haggin went to Richmond and
swore out a warrant charging Jett with
breach of the peace by assault with a
pistol.
In the jail Jett was communicative
on all matters save the killing of Mar
cum. "I'll get out of this all right" was
the only statement he would make
which could be construed as refer
ence to the charge. He said he wanted
to be tried in Breathitt county. He was
bitter in denouncing his uncle, who had
him arrested, and said that the score
would be evened up when he was at
liberty. When asked about the state
ment that five men would testify that
he killed Marcum he sneered and re-
piled, whats that to your To Sheriff

cative as to the Marcum tragedy.

Eating Glass.

"How much glass do you suppos e

He who drinks beer consumes the

share. In carafe or in a glass pitcher
have you ever noticed the odd line
which marks the level that the water

some of its components. And so every

TOTTENYILLE.
SCHOOL HOUSE is
TO BE REMODELED.
West Side of Building to be Torn
Out and Twelve Rooms
Added.

The Board of Education, of New
York, has decided to practically re-
model the Tottenville public school.
At the present time the building is
too small to accommodate all the
pupils, and as it is expected that many
more will ask for admittance after the
summer vacation, the board will en-
deavor to have the work finished dur
ing the summer months.
1t is thought that the contractor
will start the work early in June.
The Board has decided that they
will expend about $50, 600 on the entire
building. The west side of the school
house will be torn down and the
building extended so that an addition
of twelve new rooms can be added.
The roof will also be raised one story,
thus making it three story building.
After the masons and carpenters have
completed their work, the painters
will take hold and give the wood
work new coat of paint.
1t will take the contractors all the
summer at the least to finish the JOB.
When the work is completed, Totten-
vile will have one of the finest school
buildings on the Island.
