himself 10 the Importance Of securing
better service from the street car com
panles. He said # was his opinion that
there could be better schedules and
fewer crowded cars on many Of the lines
II the companies were made to toe the

He expressed himself as emphatically
OF the belief that the people are far
more concerned in getting a good serv-
ice from the companies than they are In
having the cars run 10 the doors Of the
Union Station. Both he and Mr. Mad
den pointed out that now, while the
companies are asking for something, IS
the time 10 pass legislation beneficial 10

in this city and District. Their opinion
is that more people are interested in
getting a better service from the car
lines than they are bent on having the
cars run &c the station doors.
Representative Madden of Chicago, au-
thor of the pending bill for universal
transfers in the District. in his argu-
ment before the committee. said that
now is the time TO force the street car
corporations 10 give the people OF the
District their rights, universal trans
fers. He asked the committee 10 put
In the trackage bill a section providing
for universal transfers and Furnishing
by a fine Of from SO 10 500 all failures
OF companies to issue and give rides on
such transfers.
His amendment also gives the person
refused a ride on such a transfer the
right TO recover in the courts 3. II
further provides that the rights OF way
to the Union Station are granted only on
the stipulation that the universal trans
fers shall be put into effect on every

Late News.

An explosion of dust and gases. in a
large grain elevator Jointly owned peto by the the
Maine railroads in Richford, caused the
death of at least II persons late Wednes-
day afternoon, and it is possible that the
death roll may be still further increased
when a careful search of the ruins can be
made. Of the victims, Is were men EN-
ployed in the elevator. The other two
were women, who were walking on the
Canadian Pacific railroad track nearby.
The most sensational struggle in the
history of baseball came to an end in
New York yesterday when by by winning "a
a tie by the league directors the Chicago
team, champions of last year beat out
the New York Giants for the National
league pennant. The score of the decid-
inc game was 4 to 2. Detroit won the
American league championship Tuesday
after a red-hot finish against Chicago
and Cleveland, and will meet the Cubs
tomorrow in the first of the series for
the worlds championship.

Mr.. Miles Resignation Accepted.

Both the Congregational church and the
Brattleboro East society have accepted
the resignation of Rev. Harry R. Miles
and an ecclesiastical council has been
called to dissolve the relations between
pastor and people. The church accepted
the resignation at meeting Friday night
and a committee consisting of George L.
Dunham, Clarke G. Fits and DR.. A. l.
Miller was appointed to draft resolutions
expressive of the church's appreciation of
Rev. Mr.. Mies's services, also to take
steps toward securing his successor. A
committee consisting Of George H. Clapp,
E. c. Crosby and j. G. Stafford was ap-
pointed to call council to dismiss the
pastor. A special meeting of the society
was held last evening, when a resolution
accepting the resignation, inasmuch as
the church already had done so, was
adopted, and it was voted to report the
action to the council. Judge James NJ.
Tyler, Harry i. Emerson and Fred G.
Adams were appointed committee to
act with the church committee in secur-
ing a new pastor The council has been
called for next Monday afternoon at go,
in the chapel. All the Congregational
churches in the county and some in
Windsor county are asked to send their
pastors and one delegate each. The

ministers will meet at the parsonage in
Brattleboro at 10 in the morning.

STOCKS OF COPPER
 STEADILY INCREASE
UNITED STATES SAID TO BE STILL PRODUCING AN EXCESS OF
 THE RED METAL.

Hayden. Stone & Co.,, in their latest market letter say:
 The floating supply of copper is still piiing up. After dropping from 72,O0o,. 900 pounds in April to 35,000,00o pounds in July, the August exports suddenly
 jumped to 53,000,000 pounds, and are three times the imports. Evidently this country is still producing much more copper than it is using. The surplus is going abroad, and while it is undoubted- it remained here, still it is not being bought for immediate consumption, and would appear again on the market on any advance.
 Beside the copper being shipped abroad, our own producers are carrying supplies of the metal, decidedly above the average. The writer recently noted on the docks at Houghton, Mich, quite generous supply. Inquiry developed that while there was much less than three or four months ago, under normal conditions the docks at this time of year would he practically hare. It must be remembered that the copper from the coteric of mines which closed last win ter and re-opened in the spring and early summer is now just coming on the market. The increase from this source would easily counterbalance any slight increase in demand
 All this means that the floating supply of copper, already large, will continue to accumulate, until there is much more rapid resumption of business. Far from being regarded as menace, we think this should be welcomed. What the metal market has hitherto lacked in poise; a counterbalancing influence, similar to the governor" on steam engine. A large floating supply of cop per will go far towards supplying this factor.
 It will prevent any such perpendicular advance as occurred three years ago, an advance to be avoided, if possible, be- cause it would inevitably be followed by still more rapid decline, whose disastrous effects would be ten times greater than any benefit derived from the rise.
 What We may look forward to, then, is metal market, improving not more rapidly than general business, yet with a constantly upward trend. This af- lords the best possible conditions for the operation of copper mines on a sane and healthy basis, and we should see some very good results in the matter of costs. est income now, can safely be held for larger yield under normal conditions.

The lifting process was al. most wholly confined to groups of low. priced railroad and industrial stocks, in many of which there were important or dominant holdings by identical inter. ests.
