ISenator Hanna Subpoenaed.
Columbus, Jan. 17. ——MayOr McKisson,
who was the combine candidate for
United States Senator against Senator
Hanna, has been here in conference
with Mr. Kurtz. The combine' s ambi-
tion is to push the bribery charges
against Senator Hanna. The purpose
.of McKisson’s visit was to confer with
Kurtz and Allen 0. Myers regarding
the investigation, which will begin to-
morrow.
Senator Hanna, Major Dick and S. D.
Hollenbeck have been subpoenaed tobe
here at that time. Representative Otis,
who says he received a bribe of $1, 750
by H. H. Boyce, as Hanna’s agent, says
Boyce can have the money by calling
on Tom Campbell, the Cincinnati law—
yer, and byway of encouragement in—
forms Mr. Boyce in a letter given to
the public that he will be turned over
,to the police when he makes the de—'
mand.
In case Boyce does not ask for the re-
turn of'the money, Otis says it will be
‘given to charity. The friends of Sena-
,tor Hanna say that they have noth-
ing to fear from the investigation, but
assert- that‘a very close friend of Rep-
resentative Snider, of Green County,
representing the combine, made Snider
a. cash offer of $5,000 to vote with them.
' The investigation will go into all these.
ARMY OFFICER'S BIG STEAL.
Charged IWith Having .Robbed the Gov-
ernment of $3,000,000
Washington, Jan. 17. —.——The officials Of
the War Department believe that the
,-swindling operations of Captain Ober-
lin M. Carter as army engineer will ag-
’, gregate nearly $3, 000, 000. Captain Car-

ter is not only accused of having sysa-I
tematically robbed the Government
while in charge of Government Work at
Savannah, but the municipal authori-
. ties of that city and certain contracting
firms are also said to be among his vic—
tims.
It is the intention of the War Depart—
ment, in the event of Captain Carter 5
' conviction by the court-martial now in
5 session in Savannah, to prosecute all
those who are alleged to have assisted
. him in a conspiracy to defraud the
Government. Upon the finding of the
cOurt- martial will depend legal pro-
ceédings against B. D. Greene, a former
Oflicer of the corps of engineers; John
F. Gaynor, William P. Gaynor, Ed-
ward H. Gaynor and Anson M. Bangs.
'-‘ The charges upon which Captain Car-
ter is now undergoing trial only include
instances of fraud wherein the prose-
cutors believe positive proof can be ad-
duced. Many alleged offenses, cover-
ing the disappearance of large sums,
have been nullified by the statute of
limitations. ‘
The charges of the Government con-
‘ stitute themost damaging arraignment
ever brought against an oflicer of the
army. The defendant is accused of em—
bezzlement, false swearing, failure to
account for funds, deception and false
. accounting.
Eight Men Were Killed.
Middleboro, Ky., Jan. 18.——The story
of a bloody'fight on Sandy Fork, in'
Leslie CountY, on last Wednesday,
turns out to have been more extensive
, than reported. News received here is
to the effect that no less than eight men
were killed and four wounded mortally
in the battle in the “Moonshine” sa-
lOOn. Leslie County is in‘ the- wildest
part of the Kentucky Mountains, where
there are no railroads Or'telephon‘es to
spread intelligence.
A party of negrOIes, who were playing
cards at what is called a blind tiger,
got into a dispute concerning the way
‘ the game was progressing. Drunken-
ness added tO-the brutality of the fight
t at followed. Four men were killed
t en, and subsequently the fight was
renewed by friends on both sides, un-
til the mortality list reached eight. The
feeling aroused gives rise to apprehen-
sion of more crime. ' . -

paper on which the Government notes
are printed, visited the Treasury De-
partment to. examine the paper of the

cently discovered. After a careful scru-

Electric Light in Catacorhbs.‘
Pittsburg, Jan. 17. —The Westinghouse
Electric Company has received a cable—
gram from its Rome representative an--
nouncing that he had secured the con-
tract forli'ghting the catacombs of St.
Callistus, St.- Agnes, St. Cyraca, St. De-
mitilia, S.t Priscilla and St. Bentianus.
‘Some months ago the subterraenan
burial ground of St. Callistus was
ighted by electricity, and the effect was
so satisfactory that the persons in
charge decided to have electricity put
