SAVANNAH MAN GETS CONTRACT
Bids for Painting the Government
Hospital Buildings.

hOSPAtaA
Bids for painting the buildings of the
army hospital have been sent on to Wash
ington by Capt. J. w. McHarg, quarter
master in charge of the work. Capt. Nc
Harg recommended that the lowest bid
der, who is Mr.. Andrew Hanley, be award
ed the contract.
Mr.. Hanley's bid for the work is 1,1544O
which is regarded as remarkably low
There are forty-six of the buildings to
comprise the hospital, and all of them are
to be painted. Some of them are very
large. and there is to be a vast surface
painted.
The other bids were as follows: Savan-
nah Building Co., 81, 1889; Broughton Bros.
s., 1885, William H. Harris, $500; w. Ern-
enwein, $3.50; e. Muirhead $2.5O5. 04, and
T J. Dooley, $3.50.
1t is expected that the acceptance of the
quartermaster department of the Haney
bid will be wired here within few days
It is desired to have the pafaters begin
work as quickly as possible, as the work
has now progressed far enough to admit
of their following the carpenters.
The buildings will probably be painted
a yellow This is Capt. McHargs idea.
though Maj. D. NJ. Appel who is to be
surgeon in charge of the hospital, does not
fully agree with him as to the color. Maj
Appel desires a darker hue for the build
tngs. The matter of color has, therefore
not been definitely decided upon.
Mr.. Hanley's bid states that he will
agree to complete the painting within ten
days after the contractors have turned
over the building This will make him
follow not more than ten days behind the
carpenters

Is IN CLOSE CONFINEMENT.
Carter Was Surprised and Much Az
fected by His Arrest.

New York, Sept. S0.-Capt. Oberlin NJ
Carter, who has been convicted by court
martial of defrauding the government, was
arrested in the New York Athletic CLUB
this morning by Assistant Adjutant Cen
eral Simpson, u S. A, who came from
Washington for the purpose under tnstruc-
tions of the Secretary of War. Capt Car
ter is now a prisoner in Castle William,
Governors Island.
Gen. Merritt, commander of the depart
ment of the East, received a telegram this
morning informing him that an officer was
in New York for the purpose of arresdng
Capt. Carter, The telegram stated that the
officer had been instructed to report to
him.
At 10 o'clock Mai. Simpson reached Gov
ernor's Island with his prisoner. Gen. Mer-
ritt had then left for the purpose of par
ticlpating in the military parade Col.
Haroour, assistant adjutant general, re-
celVed the prisoner in behalf of Gen Mer-
rit, and then turned him over to Capt. B.
*. Roberts, commandant of the post
Capt Roberts said tonight:
capt Carter is securely locked up in
cell alone, under guard. Every precau-
ton will be taken that he does not escape.
but he will be treated with all respect as

Capt. Roberts believes that Carter viii
be taken West about next Wednesday. In
the meantime the only visitors that will
be permitted to see him will be members
of his family and counsel, and then only

SUFFERED MANY HARDsHIPs.
severe Trials of the Passengers ON
Board the Scotsman.

inc ScOINmhns
Quebec Sept. S0.--Under orders from
Capt. Sl1rlmshlre all members Of the crew
of the Scotsman brought up to-day by
the Grecian, have been held under arrest
to be searched.
The Allan Liner Grecian, with forty
seven of the passengers and crew Of the
Inflated Scotsman, arrived In port to-day
The people saved are in the most destl-
tute condition, but they were more fortu-
nate than those on the Moutfort. owing
to the fact that the Grecian had plenty
of provisions to feed them. The captain
sent a lifeboat ashore and brought off
about thirty OF the crew The next boat
brought the seventeen passengers who
were then at the lighthouse Early in the
morning searching parties went out TO
gather in the stragglers, but they did not
meet with great success, as there are per-
haps forty or ffty still on the island, all
scattered in parties of two or three,
When the passengers and crew were
brought alongside they were so weak they
were unable to climb the ladder and all
had to be hosted on deck Many OF them
as soon as they reached the Greclan's deck
fell overcome with exhaustion, and the re-
lief OF finding a place Of safety.
Capt. Calvert says that never In his lke
has he heard such terrible tales OF suffer
ing or seen such pitiable sights. He Is Of
the opinion that there win be many deaths
on the island unless immediate relief
reaches there.
Walter White OF Cressington Park, Liv-
erpool, a passenger on the Scotsman, is Of
the opinion there have already been seven
or eight deaths on the island. Some one
told Mr.. White that he had seen two
bodies. and the second mate of the Scots
man says that he buried one woman In the
moss.
Mr.. White says that Judging from the
exhausted condition In which many were
after their terrible struggle along the
rocks. he Ia of the opinion that a good
number will die. There is a very small
chance of rescue as the different persons
are scattered over the whole Island.
A revised list of those drowned by the
wreeking Of the steamship Scotsman shows
that eleven lives were lost
Another Miss Shelton, is In doubt, but
nothing definite can be ascertained relative
to her

COURTS SENTENCE APPROVED
CARTER MUST SERVE FIVE YEARS
IN PENITENTHRY.

President Acted Before Attorney
Generals Report Was Made-He
Must Pay n $1,000 Fine, Serve Five
Years and Have His Disgrace Pub
Ifshed-The omciaI Order Approves
the Whole Sentence ard Cashiers
the Captain From the Army.
Washington, Sept. -(SpeciaD-Presi-
dent Mckinley to-day Unexpectedly ap-
proved the findings Of the courtmartial in
the case Of Capt. Oberlin M Carter, and
that brilliant young officer must languish
for five years in the military prison at
Leavenworth, Kan.
The decision of the President was actual
ly reached at the cabinet meeting yester-
day, but the official announcement Of it
was not made until to-day. In the mean
time a special officer had been sent to
New York, where Capt. Carter was placed
under arrest, while enjoying luxurious
apartments at the New York Athletic
Club.
Popular sentiment undoubtedly forced
the President to take action at this time
for Attorney General Griggs has not yet
submitted his formal report reviewing the
findings of the courtmartial. The verdict
of the courtmartlal is sustained by the
President in full, so that all the present
social and financial influences assembled
under Carter's banner failed to shake the
decision of the courtmartial.
At the White House, 1t is said, that the
President has never doubted the guilt of
Capt. Carter. since the verdict of the
courtmartlal was rendered, but he prom
ised the late Frank Thompson, who was
interested in Carter, that the latter should
be given every reasonable opportunity to
prove his innocence before final action was
taken.
EdmundS Employed by Carter.
1t now develops that former Senator Ed
munds, who reviewed the case, was en-
ployed and paid by Carter, and not by the
government, as generally supposed. II is
well known that Mr. Edmunds' report was
not satisfactory to Carter.
1t also turns out that the President was
deceived at the actual status of Wayne
MacVeagh. The latter has, more than any
other man, been influential in politically
holding back the final decision, because
i'm the early stages of the case it was
thought that he was simply acting as a
friend of Carter. 1t now develops that he
has been the paid attorney of Carter from
the beginning of the legal proceedings.
The announcement of the decision at this
time caused some surprise in military and
political circles, but the result is what was
expected.
The friends of Carter put up a stub
born fight. and they expected at least to
secure mitigation of a portion of the
sentence.
II remains to be seen whether Carter will
take the case up to the Supreme Court
of the United States. His legal represent
.
movement in that direction has been con-
sidered.

My opinion of the matter never has

and fiagrantly disobeyed the law.

which was clearly entitled to be brought

This injustice to an innocent man shows
that the courtmartial is utterly unfit to
grapple with the questions involved in a
case OF this kind.
In my estimation, majority of the
members of the courtmartial were honest
in their belief of Capt. Carters guilt.
They were induced to find the captain
guilty in the main, because of perjured
testimony of the government witnesses"
