He Played Double.

First as Charles Carter Holland and
then as Chas. w. Carter, he operates sue
cessfully as a swindler. Under the for
mer name again he plays Johnstown suf-
ferer.
About two years ago man named Chas.
W. Carter came to Johnstown and started
The manufacture of inks, mucIiage, dyes,
and chewing gums under the name of the
Carter Manufacturing Company He
prospered for while until getting tired
of this place he succeeded in getting bogus
drafts cashed to the amount of $4,000 or
$4,000, when he left for parts unknown
about a year ago, and no trace was ever
found of him until recently.
A few weeks ago the DEMOCRAT pub
lished an account of the escapades of
Chas. G. Holland in New York State, who
was going around the country claiming
to be Johnstown flood sufferer and
soliciting aid.
1t has just developed that Carter and
Holland are one and the same fellow.
Before Carter came here, he had partici-
pated in swindling scheme, and to avoid
detection changed his name from Chas.
Carter Holland to Chas. w. Carter. When
he left here with large amount of money
and also number of large debts, it was
supposed he had gone to Canada
A cousin of young man living on the
South Side, who had been visiting here
met him in New York State, and when
he (thc cousin) informed the South Side
man of his presence request for de-
scription was sent. 1t was furnished and
tailed exactly with that of the missing Car
ter, or Holland. 1t is expected that those
who were swindled by this noted crook
will have him in the clutches of the law
before long.
Carter seems to be pretty smart fellow
so far as duping people is concerned.
While here he operated quite extensively,
and paid as he went till he had gained
confidence. Then when he had things in
readiness he skipped.

A BURST PIPE.

The Ebensbnrg Branch Train Fails to
Reach the County Capital Yesterday at
the Appointed Time.
Tuesday forenoon as the train on the
Ebensburg branch was pulling out from
h. wing stopped at Bradley's Station on its
,aT to Ebensburg an arch pipe burst,
letting out the water and steam into the
fircbox and extinguishing the fire. The
train consisted of the passenger coach,
two box cars and one truck OF course
it could proceed no further, and the pas
sengers were three miles from their destl.
nation. 1t rained without interruption.
The prospect of staying in the car all day
discouraged the passengers, who were
about fifteen in number including one
lady.
The male passengers, rather than wait
till another engine could be obtained,
decided to walk the rest of the way The
Johnstown passengers were Ed. T, Nc
Neelis, Esq, Mr.. John Gels, and DIR. G.
A. Zimmerman. They with the other
twelve passengers, excepting the lady,
and Conductor Snyder, had walked about
a mile, when they came upon the repair
crew, whose hand car the whole crowd
mounted and rode to Ebensburg, under
the guidance of the assistant foreman.
Some clamored for refunding of part of
the fare, but were astOnished when the
Conductor wanted to punch another set
of tickets for the privilege of riding in the
open air during the down-pouring
shower. Things went smoothly until the
heavy grade near the town was reached,
when considerable muscular power was
necessary. They took their turns, and it
was amusing to see how well muscles,
that had long not known much exercise,
could tug at the lever of the hand-car. To
mutine meant to be obliged to walk. The
only legal gentleman on board induced
Conductor Snyder to desist from collect
ing the extra fare by the promise of
" setting 1t up" when they got to the
haven of their homes. At 1:15 p. NJ. the
party, putting, sweating, and drenched
with rain reached the end of the road.
Another engine was sent from Altoona,
and got to Ebensburg about o'clock
with the train. The disabled engine was
side tracked at BTadleys Station, whence
it was taken on the return trip to Cresson
and shipped to Altoona.
