Canal will Not be Abandoned.
Washington g. Johnston, member
of the Board of Public Works, said
to n reporter for the DEMOCRAT
Thursday afternoons:
"The talk that the Ohio Canal will
be abandoned at the end of the year
is all foolish speculation. Business
on the canal was never better and 1t
looks as though there would be no
trouble in securing an appropriation
to assist in conducting canal affairs.
"Although it would be but a drop
in the bucket, it is presumed that
$4,000 may be secured for the North
ern division Of the canal"
Regarding the matter of appoint
mentnents to be made in February
Mr.. Johnston said: "I'll not cross
the bridge before 1 reach it."

THE CASE OF CAPTAIN CARTER.
Edmunds Opinion Ia Effect That
Punishment should Not BE Inflicted.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Colonel Barr,
who prepared the brief in the case OF
Captain Carter. has notified the Attorney
General that he will make no oral argu-
mcnt in the case. He will leave to-mor-
row for his station.
In the brief prepared by Colonel Barr
no reply was made to the paper prepared
by ex-senator Edmunds I'm the case. as
that is'regarded as an opinion rather than
argument for either side. The opinion Of
Senators Edmunds is that evidence suifi-
cient for dismissal exists. but in his judg-
ment the evidence contained in the papers
of Captain Carter was unlawfully used
by the court, and hence the punishment
of fine and Imprisonment should not be
inflicted.
