INTERESTING RU NOR
Pertaining to the Stogie Industry Of
Wheeling.

1t was limited to a Register represen-
tative yesterday that a movement,
which, if matured, will be of much i'm
portanee, has been inaugurated among
the stogie manufacturers of Wheeling.
The rumOr is to the effect that an eff
fort will be made to combine all the
factories of the city with view to
controlling the stogie product of this
vicinity 1t is surmised the decision of
the Massachusetts, court if enforced,
would make such a scheme possible if
CONQUERED in by all the stogie manu-
facturers in this vicinity. The perfect
ing of such a combine would only be in
line with the drift of industrial enter
prise of the day, but whether or not
it is practicable is yet matter for con-
lecture

GRIGGs' OPINION MADE PUBLIC.
Found no Grounds for Leniency in
Carriers Case.

Washington, Oct. attorney Gen.
Griggs' opinion, upon which the pres
ident approved the finding of the court
martial in the case of Capt. o. NJ. Car
ger, was made public Thursday night.
After brushing aside the minor objec-
tions of Carriers counsel, the attorney
general goes into the meat OF the case,
the captains sudden display of wealth
and lavish expenditures from 1891 to
1897. While drawing a salary of but
$252 per month, he spent $6,047 in 1891,
increasing his expenditures until he
spent $29,Gl1 in 1896. He also made
large deposits of money in New York
and bought heavily of investment Sc
curities, the market value of the latter
in 1895 being $4,000 Carter had had
ample opportunity to explain where he
got these moneys but did not do 50.
ut is, says the attorney general, in
summing up his opinion of guilt, "the
irresistible conclusion that the true
explanation of his rapid accession 20
wealth is one that he could not
safely make and that it is to be ac-
counted for only by accepting the the
DRY shat he participated in the fraud
ulent proceeds of contracts under his
charge"
