AWAITING A REPORT.
Capt, Cartcr's Case Expected to Re
Heard From at Any Moment.

Capt. Carriers Case Expected to BE
Heard From at Amy Moment.
1t is expected any day now that the re-
port of the investigating board, appointed
to look into the charges made against
Capt o. NJ. Carter will be made to the
war department, and that q decision upon
it will be reached shortly thereafter. A
decision in the case one way or another
is looks for within the next, two or three
days, or at least within week.
A decision In the case from the war de-
portment will mean that there will be or
that there will not be court-martial
Capt Carriers friends believe that the
matter will take the latter course, and
that the report of the investigating board
will fully exonorate him without the mat
ter going any further.
So far as the work of the board is con-
cerned, that was concluded in New York
last Saturday when the final hearing was
had at the army building. Capt Carter
and Capt. c. E. Gillette were both present.
There were sessions of the board all dur
ing the week. and a number of witnesses
were examined, but all that remains now
is for the report to be prepared and sent
to the department. Mr.. Walter G.. Charl-
ton, of counsel for Capt. Carter has just
returned from New YORK, but When seen
had nothing to say about the Investigation
except that so far as he knew II had been
concluded and that a report is looked for
at an early date.
Capt Gillette has been away from the
city about three weeks presumably on
account of the investigation. Upon in
quiry at his Office yesterday 1t was stated
that it was not known when he would re-
turn to the city.
Capt. Carter friends seem more, con-
fident than ever as to the result of the in
vestigation and they believe that the re-
port OF the board alone win fully viudicate
him. In the event. however that there
should be a court martial, 1t Is thought it
would be only with reference to some
minor charges, which would have little
bearing upon the work Itself The investI-
cation has been a long-drawn-out one,
and there is much relief expressed on the
part of those interested that it is draw
ing to a close.
Since Capt. Carter was relieved from
duty on the Nicaraguan canal commission,
the Investigation has not affected in any
way the proceedings of that body except
in the delay incident to the appointment
of an army engineer to fill the vacancy
The commission Is now engaged i'm the
preparation of maps and data of former
surveys prior to going to Nicaragua. II

THE DEFENDANT WON.
Mrs. Ann Carroll Denied Damages
For Her Injuries.

For Her Injuries.
The trial of the case of Mrs. Ann Car
roll against Henry Solomon & Son was
concluded in the city court yesterday IN
favor of the defendant.
The arguments in the case were finished
at the morning session, and the jury was
charged at O'Clock in the afternoon. The
jury was out only a short while returning
about o'clock with verdict in the de-
PENDANTS favor.
1t was on April 10, 1897, that Herman
Lang, driver for the defendant firm, was
driving down Indian street, on the south
side, and the wagon struck Mrs. Carroll
knocking her down and injuring her. She
was out OH the street at the time, empty
ing a bucket of water. She made the
claim that 1t was through the careless
ness of the driver of the wagon that she
was injured, and stated in her petition
that she had sustained compound COM
minuted fracture of the superior maxilla-
ry or cheek bone" besides a fracture of
the nasal bone and several bruises. She
brought suit for $4,000 damages.
The jury appears to have considered
that Mrs. Carroll should not have been
out in the street where she was at the
time, but should have remained on the
sidewalk. The plaintiff was represented
by Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, and the de-
PENDANT by Messrs. Wilson & Rogers and
Denmark, Adams & Freeman. 1t is prob
able that a motion for new trial will be
made. t.te

TAKEN IN BY FORGED ORDERS.
Hardware and Paint and Oil Firms
the Losers.


Some arrent rogue has been employing
his penmanship to good advantage, with
the result that two or three hardware
firms and as many paint and oil stores
now have bills against the Georgia Steam
Laundry for the aggregate amount of
about $40. Since the first of the month
bills have been coming in to the proprietor
of the laundry that astonished him. They
were for a class of merchandise that ordi-
narily is not used in his business and
that he was as innocent as a babe of ever
having ordered.
The bills came from the Palmer Hard
ware Company, Conklin & Co., the Adams
Drug and Paint Company, and Hanley,
and stated that the Georgia Steam Laun-
dry Is debtor to those concerns for gold
leaf, aluminium leaf, SOLDER sheet tin and
other things that hardware and paint and
OIL stores sell, but that laundries do not
use. An investigation by the laundry man
disclosed the fact that orders, purporting
to have been from the Georgia Steam
Laundry had been presented for the
goods. 1t could not be ascertained by
whom the orders were presented. From
the nature of the goods he got on his bo-
gus orders, however, it Is judged that he
must be q man in some trade in which
they are found necessary.

1ILLMANIsM WANING.

A special from Charleston. S. c., says:
Senator Ben Tillman and his reform
party in South Carolina are at loss TO
know how to solve the liquor troubles
since a decision from a Federal Judge
has allowed whisky 10 be sold in oppo-
sition to the State dspensary In every
county saloons have been opened and
the sales from the dispensaries have
dropped so low that IL is difficult 10 meet
expenses. The situation has become so
serious for the Tillman faction that Sena-
tor Thlman is thinking OF leaving Wash
ington and returning TO South Carolina
TO take charge OF the state. At least.

sold except through a dispensary. The
Senator's history shows however that
his talk does not always materialze in
acts. His lieutenants. who have been
running the government for the last three
years. have been unable 10 steer clear
OF the rocks on the shore. and the party
Is gradually losing its hold and wasting
away.

the people is beginning TO wane. and TIL
man sees that he is losing his popularity
and influence a great deal faster than
he gained them. His inability TO get his
severe blow 10 the dispensary and now
the crisis has been reached. Something
has TO be done at once to save the mo-

The state has a big stock of liquors on
hand that IL cannot sell. and the huge
profits from the business are no longer
forthcoming. The prices at the original
package establishments are much lower
than at the dispensaries. and the brand
OF goods is OF a higher quality. The
