Alexander McCauley, and Stephen c.

Later Moen was brought out and held in
$500 bail At the hearing enough was de-
veloped to show the interesting methods
of the company. The company had offices
at No. II Broadway 1t also had places
under another name at Twenty-siXth street
and Broadway. in the St. James building,
and at No. 10 Fulton street. The shrewd
operators also had branches in Chicago,
st. Louis, San Francisco and other West
ern cities and any one asking for refer
ences IN any part of the country was re-
ferred readily to concern that would en-
phatically indorse their integrity-by wire
or telephone
The old discretionary program was n
strong favorite and wonderfully success
full The company sent out circulars,
principally to farmers, stating that 1t has
IAN inside tip" on the grain market and
would take customers In on the deal for
deposits anywhere from $50 to 500. No
partner in the deal could invest more than
$1,000. Another plan was to advertise for
partners in lucrative business. OF
course, money was needed ard once that
was received, in most cases the lucrative
business would disappear.

TESTIMONY OF Defense
FOLLOWED BY THE EVIDENCE IN
REBUTTAL
Chaplain McIntyre's Conversations
With Friends Brought Into Court
to Aid the Prosecution

| DENVER, Oct Upon the assembling
of the court martial of Chaplain Mclntyre
| Of the Oregon this morning the prosecu-
t33n called Lee Ullery of Franklin. III ,
| superintendent of construction of the new
Denver mint, to give testimony in rebuttal.
Attorneys for the defense went on record
as objecting to the testimony offered. Mr..
Ullery said that on Aug. 9Th he had con-
versation with Chaplain Mcintyre at their
hotel. The chaplain told of the trip Of the
Oregon around Cape Horn and of the naval
battle Of July Cd. Witness said the chap
lain asserted that when the battle began
Admiral Sampson, with the flagship New
York, was fifteen miles way, and that when
the Oregon was going into the battle she
passed the Iowa going to the rear. The
chaplain said the witness declared, that
Fighting Bob Evans was coward and
that Admiral Schley Showed the white
feather" The chaplain said he served as
chaplain of the cruiser Baltimore when Ad-
m.ral Schley was her commander He had
greatly admired him for his action at VAL
paraiso in 1891, but since the battle Of
July Sd he had lost that admiration. Chap
lain Mcintyre spoke of the division Of prize
money, intmat:ng witness declared, that
fair share.
John L. Blinn a wholesale confectionery
dealer, testified that on Aug. Sth. at their
hotel Chaplain Mcintyre told him that
during the battle of July 3d. while the Ore
gon was going in she met the Iowa going
out, and that after the last Spanish yes
sci had surrendered it was an hour be-
fore Admiral Sampson came up; that Ad-
m!ral would receive $4,000 Of prize money,
although he had no more to do with the
battle than the witness.
Rod S. King, secretary to Governor
Adams, testified that on Aug. 9Th, two days
before Chaplain McIntyre's lecture, he had
4 long converse tlon with the chaplain. He
told Of the cruise Of the Oregon around the
Horn and Of the battle Of July 3D.. The
chaplain said, as witness remembered, that
Sampson had no more to do with the bat
tie than had the witness.
At the close of Mr.. Kings testimony the
Judge advocate announced that he had no
further witnesses ready, but that he wished
to introduce evidence to prove the previous
ha bits of the accused as to the use of in
|toxicating liquor He asked the court to
adjourn from day to day until he could
send for one witness now at Mare Island
navy yard and two in the east.
The court decided that such evidence was
not necessary and the judge advocate an
nounced the rebuttal closed
The court took a recess until 2:i5 to al
low the defense to secure other witnesses
When the court reassembled Attorney
Cralston for the defense announced that
his side had no further testimony to offer
1t was decided to postpone argument by
attorneys until tomorrow.

Remember Our Sailor Boys!
To the Citizens Of Carroll County:

To the Citizens Of Carroll County:
WESTMINSTER, June %, 1898.
An appeal to our citizens has never been
made in vain. When the yellow-fever made
such ravages in one of our Southern States;
when the Mississippi valley was flooded, and
thousands were rendered homeless, and when
the terrible disaster occurred at Johnstown,
and the bursting of the dam carried ruin and
desolation to so many homes, a simple appeal
through the columns of our local papers
brought liberal responses from all parts OF
our prosperous and Heayen-blessed county.
Once again | make an appeal to our citizens;
this time at the request of the ladies OF the
Naval Reserve Association of Maryland, and
in behalf of our brave sailor boys, now ON
duty, defending the flag we love and offering
their young lives in defense of prosecuted
people, struggling for liberty, and against
1reacherous foreign foe. We all Remember
the Maine,'' but the gallant boys, who went
down on that iIl-fated vessel, are heyond our
help. We can only give them our tears and
our grateful remembrance. 1t is the living,
exposed to the danger and horrors Of war,
who need our sympathy and aid Baltimore
City and many Of the counties in other parts
of the State, are responding nobly. Let Car
roll county stand by her record, and show to
our sailor boys that the county which has
the honor of giving to the cause of freedom
the first hero on Cuban soil, does not forget
them. The association have nearly five hun
dred men to care for and the following artl-
cles are greatly needed by them: Unbleached
muslin, drawers, gauze undershirts, mixed
cotton hose, soap, towels, and handkerchiefs.
Bound books and magazines are also accept
able but the articles of underwear are greatly
needed, and will be more acceptable than
anything else. | will gladly receive any do
nations either of material to be made up,
money to purchase the articles, or the ready
made underwear, and will personally direct
the packing and shipping Of the box. Let
everyone give something. The call is urgent;
the duty imperative; let us not delay, but be
prompt and liberal. Anyone wishing further
information, can write to me at Westminster,
or call to see me personally, and will gladly
inform them of the work. A record will be
kept of every donation, no matter how small,
and promptly ACKNOWLEDGED. What will Car
rcll county do for our sailor boys?

THE WHEAT CROP AND PRICES.
The Probable Yield in CarrOll-Prices Last
Year and This.

The wheat yield Of Carroll last year was Il
large one, and the average for the county was
fully % bushels per acre. Some small fields
yielded over As bushels.
The unusual price last August, September
and October caused the sowing of an ncreas-
ed acreage-an increase of perhaps ten per
cent. The yield this year, it is estimated,
will not average over Is bushels to the acre,
owing to the fly and rust, and the total crop
for the county will be from one-third to one
fourth less than last year.
OF course it is difficult to estimate with ac-
curacy the wheat yield 1t can only be def
nitely told when cut and threshed, but the
above observations are based upon talks with
intelligent farmers and the grain dealers of
Westminster
The price now, said one dealer, is too low
and what it will be later is altogether problem
atical. Many of the reports on crops in
this country and abroad are put out by specu-
lators, and are made to suit their purposes.
The ''bears" will report heavy crops, and the
bulls short ones. All sorts of contradictory
reports are published, and it is difficult to
make accurate predictions. little common
sense, however, will tell that two failures of
crops rarely come i'll two succeeding years;
nor does it often occur that two full crops are
grown in two succeeding years. Last year
there were short crops in Argentina and in
Europe. This made the price higher and a
heavy demand for American wheat, whele the
crop was large one. 1t is likely there will
be better crops abroad this year and the de-
mand for Americas surplus will not be so
great, consequently the prices that ruled for
the crop of 1897 will not be obtained for the
crop of 1898.
1t will be interesting to note the rise and
fall Of prices for last years crops. The prices
given below were furnished by n. |. Gorsuch
& Son, which were about the prices paid by
Roberts, Roop & Co. and Z. o. Grimes.
