WILL APPEAL CARRIERS CASE.
It Is Believed that No Bail Will Be
Asked

New York, Oct. 21.-It was decided
today by the Attorneys for ex-Captain
Oberhn NJ. Carter, to appeal from the
decision of Judge Lacombe in dismissing
the writ of habeas corpus. The petition
for appeal has already been drawn, and
will be presented to the court Monday
when the order of Judge Lacombe is to
be finally recorded.
When asked how long the appeal will
delay Il final disposition of the Carter
case, Abram J. Rose. the lawyer who
has taken the most conspicuous part in
the defense of Captain Carter said:
I'VE will take the case to the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals. The
next meeting of this court will be Octo
Der 31st. Owing to its Importance this
case will probably be advanced. After
it has been decided in the Circuit Count
of Appeals, if the ruling be against us.
we will have the right to take the case
to the United States Supreme court.
How hong it would hang before this
court, nobody can say"
Mr.. Rose held conference with Cart
er in prison today with special reference
to the ACCESSIBILITY of asking for bail. 1t
is probable that the prisoner will prefer
to remain in Jail until the appeal is heard
and that no bail will be asked.

THE ST. PAUL OVERDUE.
AmeFican-Line Steamship Probably
Retarded by Severe storms.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The overdue Amer
lean line steamer st. Paul has not yet been
sighted. The ST. Paul left Southampton
jan /, and was due here Friday evening to
equal her record. At the office of the Amer
lean line it was said to-day that no uneasi-
ness was felt as to the safety of the over
due vessel. Every liner that comes into
port it was said, tells the story of rough
weather. The st. Paul probably had been
hindered by head winds and high seas. There
was a possibility, however, that she might
have been delayed by broken machinery.
Late this afternoon Superintendent
Wright, of the American line, gave out the
following: THE following information
comes by cable: Steamer American saw the
St. Paul on Wednesday, Jan. a. 3 p. m. In
latitude 49:43, longitude %, during. heavy
snowstorm.' The position given IS l,QS0
miles from the Needles. Allowing for diff
ference of time. the St. Paul had been out
eighty-siX hours from the Needles and had
averaged over twelve and half knots. Eli
Their the ST. Paul or in her place the New
York will maintain the regular sailing from
New York on Wednesday.
The American, which is reported as hay
ing spoken the st. Paul, is probably the
British steamer American, which left New
Orleans for Liverpool Dec. %. Going at the
rate of speed at which she was going when
sighted she probably would reach port on
Wednesday.

BANKS BURGLARIZED.
Safe and Building Dynnmited and
About $4,000 stolen.

ASHBURNHAM, Mass. jan 9.-The safe
of the First National Bank of Ashburnham
was blown to pieces by dynamite about 3
o'clock this morning. The interior of the
bank was badly wrecked, and all windows
were blown out. Deputy Sheriff William
II. Rineheardson whose home is next to
the bank building, was awakened by the
shock of heavy explosion which made the
house tremble and windows rattle. Locat-
ing the source of the explosion, he at once
gave the alarm. The bank is on the second
floor of a two-story building. The street
door of the main entrance had been forced
open with jimmy and a similar process
was applied TO the door of the bank up
stairs. The burglars evidently charged the
iron safe heavily with dynamite, for the safe
had been blown to pieces. Two of it's doors
were found half way across the room and
a bar of iron had been blown through the
window and nearly across the street. All
the windows in the place We're demolished
and the furniture was badly splntered. A
large quantity of notes and drafts and about
floor. Cashier Sawyer estimates that the
robbers took about S.500 and perhaps the
plumber may amount TO 81 goo. The damage
to the building is about $1,000 1t is not
believed that any large quantity OF notes or
drafts was taken,
From the havoc created it is judged that
the burglars knowledge of safe-blowing was
limited. The authorities have in mind the
work done recently by burglars at the Beth
ell Me. Savings Bank the Wrentham Ma
tional Bank. the Phoenix National Bank of
Phoenix. r. l.. and Vermont bank within
the past few months. although there is moth
ing In the line of positive evidence to show
that all these banks were visited by the
same men.
