Mail Carriers.

The oldest nail carrier James Delaney
is in the service Of the New York post
office and the youngest. John Duvrey IS
at TonOpab. New. Delaney has had
fifty years service, and Is now eighty
three. He plans TO take two months
vacation this summer and then resign.
Duvrey can neither read nor write, but
the postmaster at Tonopah was compelled
to accept his application because the sal
airy paid IS too small TO tempt other men
in that region TO enter the postal service.
He compares the figures on the letters In
trusted TO him with the numbering on
the houses on his route, and, by this
means, manages TO render acceptable
service. He is less than twenty years old
and is now going TO night school in order
20 fit himself better for the discharge Of
his duties. Moreover. Duvrey is

COPPER PRODUCTION
MAY BE CUT AGAIN.

NEW YORK, Oct. S:-Coincident with
further cut in copper prices yester-
day, Wall street and metal circles were
filled with reports that there We're be-
ing put in effect more drastic plans to
curtail production at the mines. Copper
dropped to the lowest level yet reached
in the six months decline. Electrolytic
brands were quoted at from 1873 to
14B cents. Lake was quoted at 14h
to 141a cents. These reductions amount
ed to one-quarter of a cent below the
figures quoted by the Metal Exchange
toward the end of last week.
The feature of the copper market was
that the reductions did not start a buy
ing movement. The United Metals Sell
ing Company is holding it's price at Is
cents a pound, and this fact may ac-
count for the lack of a vigorous buying
wave. Despite the reductions in prices
of the metal, the copper stocks were
firm, and several important properties
showed fractional advances.
1t is now stated that at Butte the
productiEn is about 80 per cent. of the
normal. while at Cananea, Mex, the
curtailment is even greater.

neSSes to Be Held.
CONT RARY.
The Arguments Lasted Upwards
OF Two Hours in Jersey
City Yesterday.

Vice Chancellor Stevenson in Jer-
sey City yesterday refused to vacate
the temporary injunction obtained
by the South Amboy Terra Gotta
Company. against number of for
mer employees who went on strik e
several weeks ago. The statements
made in the opposing sets of affida-
Wits were so contrary in many de-
tails that they could not be recon-
ciled, and the next move will be
toward a hearing, when the witness
es can be examined in person.
Alexander P. Maxwell, attorney
for the strikers, said today that,
while the former employees, most of
whom now have positions elsewhere,
do not wish to do anything which is
prohibited by the injunction, still
they would like to see it vacated, as
they do not want to rest under the
stigma of some of the acts alleged,
so their counsel declares, in the bill
of complaint.
The arguments yesterday lasted
for upwards of two hours. The
mems side will await the next move
on the part of the company, and vice
versa. but they have until October
2S to do So
