ILL FATED VESSELS.
Government Having a Hard Time in
Getting Cargo of Lumber.

Brunswick, Ga, Oct. 1S.-There seems
to be a fatality lowering around vessels
engaged in carrying lumber from Bruins
wick to the Brooklyn navy yard. The
work there Is pressing. and the govern
ment sent the American schooner John
Paul. Anderson master, down for a cargo,
she being a swift vessel.
The Anderson ran into the September
gale, was blown off the Florida coast jam
med into two vessels while being locked,
and more or less injured herself and the
others.
Dissatisfied at this delay, the govern
ment then sent the American brigantine
Robert Dillon, Wyatt master. down. To
insure quick passage the government tug
Nina, a powerful boat, was ordered to tow
the Dillon down. AS luck would have it,
the tow was eight days coming, while YES
sells that left New York two days after
beat her down under sail. AS a final set
back both the Nina and the Dillon went
ashore on Wolf Island shoals, as related
in these dispatches Saturday night. Both
tug and tow are now in port, but the
Dillon Is badly pounded.
The shipping fraternity are raising a
row over the alleged desertion and inhu-
man treatment accorded the Dillon by the
tug Nina.
Almost every ship master in port is de-
nouncing the Ninas officers for leaving
the Dillon ashore and state she should
have stood by her until satisfied every
man had left the vessel.
The vessel worked herself off the shoals
and came into port with five feet of water
in her hold, but every man on her was
saved.
Capt Wyatt discusses these rumors eau
tiously. He is evidently wary of news
paper men. Beyond stating that he thought
the Nina should have come back ana
searched for him after making port and
spreading the news, or at least sent some
other tug out, he will say nothing posi-
tive. He does not seem to blame the Nina
for cutting her hawser when the Dillon
went ashore, but states that in his judg-
ment the Nina miscalculated and went too
close in shore. but should have seen him
out of trouble when she got him in.
The Nina's officers state their departure
from the Dillon was only after every eff
fort had been made TO secure a response
to long and repeated signals
No response coming, they decided all
hands had gone ashore in small boats and
were safe. on arriving in Brunswick they
wired Daren to keep lookout, that
place being the nearest available point
to Wolf Island. The Nina was in bad
shape herself and 1t was thought best
considering all circumstances, to make
port as quickly as possible. AS the gov.
eminent expedition was in charge of
Lieut.. ]. A Dougherty of the United
States navy, there may be a sequel to
the present discussion now on

THE CARTER INVESTIGATION
Reported Conference Between War
ner Miller and the President.


According to recent reports, it looks as
if efforts have been made to fill Capt o.
M. Carriers place on the Nicarauga canal
commission with some engineer acceptable
to President Warner Miller of the Mica
ragua Canal Company. The current Is
sue of the Army and Navy Journal has
this to say upon the subject:
Secretary Alger has been compelled to
devote considerable attention this week
to the question of a successor to Capt. 0.
NJ. Garter, engineer corps, on the Mica
raguan canal commission. Capt. Garter
applied for relief from the commission on
Friday last, submitting on that day a
letter to the President, through Secretary
of State Sherman. calling attention to the
fact that the investigation of charges
pending against him may cover some time,
and consequently delay the work of the
commission. Much to the regret of Capt.
Carriers friends, his application was ap.
proved, a general impression to the con
trary having obtained The inquiry in
the case of Capt Carter is still proceed
ing, but it is believed that by the latter
part of next week a report will reach the
department containing the findings of the
board. The captain was given ten days
to file a statement in his own behalf and
this period expired on Wednesday. On
the receipt OF Capt Carriers letter Secre-
tary Al2er conferred with Brig Cen Will
son, chief of engineers, and decided to
nominate Maj. c. F. Powell, engineer
corps as Capt. Carriers successor on the
Nicaraguan canal commission. Maj.
Powell was ordered TO Washington by tel
egraph and arrived there on Monday, when
he was informed that it had been decided
to retain him at his present station. It
has been said that the decision in his
case may be traced to conference which
ex-senator Warner Miller of the Nicara-
guam Canal Company had with the Presi-
dent. In any event, Maj. Powell returned
to Pittsburg and the authorities looked
around for another engineer officer Mai
William T. Rossell has declined to accept
the appointment"
The appointment of Col. Peter c. Haines
woh has been in charge of the gov
eminent work at Baltimore, was ANNOUNCE

his arm tightly bound to the iron shafting
by the bagging. In this painful situation

shafting. 1t was sufficiently distanced
from the ceiling for him to pass over the
shafting without striking the ceiling, and
a number of revolutions were made before
the machinery could be stopped by the en-
gineer. NIoores arm was broken and dis
located at the shoulder, but he escaped
without other serious injury.
