Captain Carriers Case.


No judicial case has excited more interest
in the army than that of the court martial
of Capt. o. NJ. Carter, of the Corps of En-
gineers. and were it not for the more en-
crossing topic of the war, the fate of that
ulatiOn outside of the service as we'll. The
case has been marked by many Irregular
tiles in its journey through the various bu-
reaus under which it passed. Its history is
somewhat mysterious. Since it has been in
the War Department it has not been trans
mitted through the regular military chan
nels which are so rigidy adhered to in
all things official On its review by the Judge
advocate general it should, according to
army regulations, have passed through the
office of the major general commanding as
General Mines is officially designated 1t
should have received mis- comment or at
secretary. The latter apparently directed
that the case proceed at once to his office,
and it was passed over Miles's head. in
spite of the fact that that officer was in
Washington at the time. 1t has slumbered
in the private safe of Secretary Alger who
evidently does not purpose to take it up
or present it to the President until after
the excitement of the war. In the meantime
a vast amount of personal. political and
commercial influence has been at work in
behalf of Captain Carter, who is still on
for some time. Gossip prophesies that his
friends, among whom Is Senator Tom
Platt will succeed in having the sentence
of the court-martial modified to a mere dis
missal, although it is pretty we'll known In
the War Department that tie officers SEN
tence was a much heavier one than that of
having his name dropped from the register

THE TICKET sCALPERS
INCREASE IN NUMBER SINCE THE
ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
Extra-Fare Trains to Be Discontinued
-DiferentiaI Question Too Big
for Passenger Agents.

Il have become disgusted' said local
ticket broker, with this line of business,
and j think the scalpers have injured their
cause by the manner they have carried on
business since Congress adjourned without
passing the anti-scalping bill. Within two
squares there are now twelve ticket scalp
ing offices against two at the adjournment
of Congress. All over the country they are
springing up rapidly. and business men are
beginning to side against scalpers, whom
they have formerly counted friends"
passenger official in speaking of this
matter, said THE indications now are that
the anti-scalping bill will come up before
the next session of Congress, and will be
passed. Dissatisfaction over the manage
ment of the Ticket Brokers' Association is
one of the principal reasons why it will
pass
Eastern roads have begun a crusade
against scalpers in quiet way, which, if
persistently followed, must have it's effect
and will rid the Eastern territory of the
scalpers in few years. The plan is that
low excursion rates to any city in the ter
ritory of the Eastern lines are to be re-
fused unless that city will contract in adj
vance to prohibit the scaping of tickets
during the event for which the reduced
charges are asked. To do this the city au-
thorities are obliged TO prohibit ticket
brokerage by ordinance. and the railroads
rot only secure immunity from the scalpers
during the particular period covered by the
special event. but for all time to come. The
demand for such legislation is based upon
the argument that low rates cannot be
granted to points. at which scalpers oper-
ate because a large part of the traffic that

There is a weli-defned rumor in relation
to extra-fare trains that intimates that the
Lake Shore and the Pennsylvania lines will
at no distant day follow in the steps of the
Michigan Central and the New York Gen.
trail in the taking off of their fast limited
extra-fare trains. The action of the Mich
igan Central indicates how things are drift
ing. The Pittsburg Post says: THE Penn
sylvania lines and the Pennsylvania Rail
road have managed to make their extra
fare limited trains pay, because through
the good generalship of Z. A. Ford and A.
j. Smith, local trains have been run to
gather up business at division points and
important way stations for the flyers. and
the leaving time of the fast trains from ter
mlnals has been arranged to suit the re-
quirements of business men who never hes
ltate to pay the extra fare in order to get to
their destination few hours quicker But
a1ter all the officials of the PENNSYLVANIA
ana the Lake Shore have figured out that
the extra fare is a serious handicap, and
that IT would be more profitable to run the
limited trains on a slower schedule and
have them make more stops and at the
same time discontinue the extra fare"
rms mas been the plan pursued with the
Panhandle Trains 20 and p. and as a result
they nave turned out to be the most popular
and best-paying trains run in this country
