THEFTS OF OVER $3,OOO,OOO.
Auount Which Captain Carter is Alleged to
Have Stolen

The charges against Captain Carter
by the war department were made pub
lie Saturday, and were of a sensational
character.
Charge one Is that of conspiring to
defraud the Government in collusion
with the Atlantic Contracting Compa-
ny, II being specified that Carter allow
ed fraudulent payments to that compa-
ny. in which his father-inlaw was in
terested. to the total amount of $2,5j5.-
956S7. Charge four accuses Carter of
the embezzement of over s575,00o.
This brings the thefts over the $3,0O0,-
900 mark. Charge three. that of con-
duct unbecoming an officer and gent
leman. specifies thefts of small sums
from false payrolls, sending false tele-
grams and letters to the secretary of
war. intended to deceive. dating them
at Savannah to show him on duty
there at various times. when he was
really in Montana. Cincinnati, New
York and other places.
Charge two specifies n number of in
stances of causing false and fraudulent
claims to be presented against the Gov
ernment. which he approved. One
specification, which should prove a
bombshell In Savannah. accuses him of
defrauding the city in a transaction
wherein the highest confidence has
been reposed in him.

CYCLONE SWEEPS OVER FORT SMITH.
TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE.
Fire Broke Out and Added to the Terrors Of
the Night

a message received from Fort Smith
reports that place devastated by a eye
lone which struck Il at IL y. m. Tues
day.
Whole blocks were ieveled by the
wind. and the inmates buried In the
ruins. many lives being crushed out.
while scores of persons were MANNED
by the flying bricks and debris.
TO add to the terror and horror OF the
scene fire broke out I'm the debris ana
added many victims to the already ap-
palling number
Twenty-Five bodies have been taken
from the ruins and 30 are known to have
been killed. Perhaps the number VIII
be far greater. How many are injured
can only be estimated.
outside of the immediate path OF the
cyclone scores were hurt by flying de-
bris and the twisting wind crushed
down scores of smaller buildings. For
hours after the disaster II was impos-
sible to reach many of the injured. ana
some of those who might have been
saved If succored at once d'ed of their
injuries.
The city was In darkness. the electric
light plant and gas works having fall n
prey tn the demon of destruction, and
the rain came down In sheets. and II
was practically impossible to push the
work of rescue.
Lanterns and torches alone guided
the rescuers to the ruined homes OF
dead and dying, while the mighty wind
tore out pieces of debris from the wreck
making the danger almost as great as
during the first onslaught, as more
people were on the streets.
When the fire started in the ruins
the ranks of the rescuers had to be di-
vded to fight against the new danger
and II looked for n time as though the
entire city was doomed.
The worst destruction was between
Eighth and Eighteenth streets. Big
business houses We're torn down. as
though they had been built Of straw.
The property loss is hard to estimate
but II looks at a glance as though 1t
would exceed n million dollars. II was
not until nearly . a. IN. that the outside
world could learn of he disaster. The
telegraph and telephone wires were
torn from the poles by the wind. and
| IL was long after midnight before any
communication could be established.
| Then messages asking for aid were
rushed to Van Buren, and Little Rock
Every physician in Van Buren, was
sent to the aid OF the stricken people.
and Little Rock gallantly rushed to the
rescue.
The work of rescue goes rapidly on,
and as a body IL carried from the ruins

have known the living, looking for
| marks of identification. Many of the
bodies have been torn beyind recog-
milton. and some of them will doubtle s
go to unknown graves.

CAST IRON MADE TOUGH.
Edison Thinks He Has Discovered a New
Metal

Thomas A. Edison. the electrical wiz
ard. has made "A discovery which gives
promise of revolutionizing the iron
business of the world. 1t is nothing less
than new metal. which, admixed with
iron, renders cast iron as tough and
strong as wrought iron. The discovery
was made purely by accident.
Mr.. Edison has been at work for the
past year in bringing his great mag
netic separation process into practical
commercial shape. He has practically
solved the problem and got the plant
into full operation. Most of the pro-
ducts of the mills have been marketed
at the blast furnaces at Catasauqua.

month ago. developed curious charac-
teristics. II is well known that after
pig iron is run out of the blast fur
mace 1t Is broken up by sledge hammers
into pieces for shipment and for hand
ling, but this lot proved refractory. The
pigs would not break. Fifteen pound
sledge hammers We're used and repeat
ed blows failed to break the pigs. Twen-
ty-five pound sledges were then used.
with the same result.
Mr.. Edison was at once notified OF
the remarkable discovery. Sections of
the refractory pigs We're furnished by
him to a half dozen eminent chemists
whom he keeps constantly employed.
Mr.. Edison suspected that II was a new
metal The reports of the analysis by
the chemists have been made and all
coincide with the Wizards theory.
Mr.. Edison is about to begin a series
of exhaustive experiments on the new
metal or alloy to determine just the
conditions most favorable to obtaining
the best results. and as soon as these
are ended he will publish to the world
the details of the discovery.
