ARMY OFFICER’S BIG STEAL.
Charged \Vith Having Robbed the Gov-
ei' 11111th of $3,000,000
Wasl1ipgt011,Ja11.17.—The officials of
the Wa1 Department believe that the
swindling operations of Captain Ober-
lin M. Carter as army engineer VV 111 ag-
gregate nearly $3, 000, 000. Captain Car-
ter is not only accused of having sys~
. tematically robbed the GOV ernment
While in charge of Government work at
Savannah but the municipal aut1101i-
ties of that city and certain contracting
firms are also said to be among his=vic-
tims. a
It is the intention of the War Depart-
ment, in the event of Captain Carter’s
conviction by the court-martial now in
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-
ceedings against B. D. Gieene, a. former
officer of the corps of engineers; John
F. Gaynor, W'illiam P. Gaynolf. 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 the most damaging arraignment
ever brought against an officer 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. NeVVs received here is
to the effect that no less than eight men
were killed and four woundeid mortally
1'11 the battle in the “Moonshine” sa—
loon. Leslie County is in the wildest
part of the Kentucky Mountains, where
there are no railroads or telephones to
spread intelligence. ‘
A party of negroes. 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
that followed. Four men were killed
then, andsubsequently the fight was
renewed by friends on both- sides. un-
til the incrtality list reached eight. The
feeling aroused gives rise to apprehen-
npn of more crime.

The Words that Carry
Weight in Norw'alk'Are
from Norwalk People.
When anything that promises relief
is offered you, the first thing you wish
to know is if. it ever helped anyone else:
and the amount of faith you will have
in try ino it will depend upon the relia-
bilitv of the testimonv oifered in its
half. W’hen this is from remote
strang ers, an beyond the reach of your
consultation. doubts may remain; but
When it comes from disinterested N or-
walk people,V whom vOu can consult at
any time, its reliability is apparent; its
truth not to be doubted. A1141 the tes-
timonv of N or walk people, and of prom-
inent people among them, is united in
declaring that California Catarrh Cure
cures catarrh, that it removes all
t1 aces of this persistent and humiliat-
ins; disease. Note the. words of a man
V 011 know V 011 can believe.
Norwalk, after suffering with catarrh
for rears, tells of his relief as follows:
‘ I find that California. Catarrh Cure
has relieved the verv much. It keeps
my he 1d and throat muéh clearer than
thev had been for a. long time, and the
1elief'1s wonderful. Anyone suffering
from catarrh in any form will surely
find it. an excellent remedy. It relieves
at once, and I believe the relief 1s per—
manent.’

Great Strike Begins To-‘day”.
Byston, Jan. 17,—The 80,000 or more
skilled operatives employed in about
seV enty of the chief cotton mills of the
New Eng land States will to day come
under the sweeping order of the new
wage scale, which curtails a. reduction
of it) per cent. or a little over. This
reduction will bring on in New 'Bedford,
Mass, and 'Lewiston and Biddeford,
1 Me, labor strikes, which may prove
the beginning of an industrial battle
greater in extent and more disastrous
in cl‘fect than any in the previous his-
[1211'3' of cotton fabric making in the
United States.
In New Bedford nine corporaflions
-epresent twenty- -two mills, with over
reprsent twenty-two mills, with over
770, 000 spindles, or 21, 000 looms, giving
means of livelihood to a little less than
[0, 000 persons. It is to that city the
tttention of the labor classes of the en-
:ire country will be drawn, and, while
it is anticipated that peace will pre-
vail, there is no telling what may come
