TO DECIDE THE CARTER CASE.
Reported That the President Is
About to Act.
CNcw York Times)

WASHINGTON, August H-A report
was printed here to-day, with the adj
mission that il would not be verified, that
q decision would soon be reached In the
case of Captain Carter. which has been
pending before the President for more
than a year Together with this state
rnent is one that Mr.. MacNeagh, Carter
counsel. who Is about TO return from
Europe would ask for a new trial.
II is evident to the people who have
read the papers Of the defence in this
case that Mr.. MacNeagh has changed
his mind If he intends 10 ask for new
trial. In his brief which IS printed at
the end Of a volume of more than 1909
pages. which Attorney-General Griggs
was expected TO consider during the re-
trial of the case. Mr.. MacNeagh demand
ed the dismissal of his client on the
ground that he was absolutely inno-
cent" and distinctly respects the IDEA
of asking for a new trial for an innocent
man.
Further comment on the case, by
those who have followed IT, is that Mr.
MacVeagh and Mr.. Edmunds do not seem
to be consistent i'm their demands for
Carter Mr.. Edmunds'c idea seemed
10 he that Carter should be punished Tor
his crime by being dismissed and hneu'
but that he should not be imprisoned.
That recommendation TO the President
seems to military men TO be quite as in
eliminating as the pleading of the statute
Of limitations or the complaint about the
use of Carters private papers because
their use would convict the accused
The latest brief Of the defence IS still
more abusive of the judge advocate VINO
tried the case than the first one, when
Colonel Barr was called upon to answer
and which led him 10 protest that, IN
effect. an effort is being made to place
The members Of the court and myself IN
the position of defendants, with the ac-
cused and his counsel as prosecutors, ana

FIRST CHURCH NOW BARN.
Fire Follows the Rev. DIR. Glen
Observation-Disclosures Of Inccndinrism'
(New York Herald)

(New York Herald)
In startling sequence to the fire in st.
Peters church, West Chester. last Wed
nesday. an attempt was made early yes
terday morning to burn the barn on the
Rev. DIR. Clendenin's country place, ON
the old Horace Greeley farm. at Chappa-
qua The fire was unquestionably the
work of an incendiary. but. thanks TO its
prompt discovery, little damage was done.
DR.. Clendenin fears that the next act of
his enemy may be directed against his
house. and he has made arrangements TO
have ii strongly guarded at night. lie
has also offered for the detection OF the
man who fired the barn a reward OF NOvo,
I'm addition to the 5000 offered by him
self and the vestry for the arrest OF the
incendiary at the church. The church and
the rectory are guarded by a special de-
tail Of police from the West Chester sta
ton.
DR.. Clendenin was absent when the fire
occurred, having gone TO West Chester
on Sunday. CuriOusly enough the rector
happened TO be in Chappaqua when the
fire occurred in the church. He Is dis-
posed to attach some significance TO this,
as indicating that his movements had been
watched by the incendiary.

condition of affairs. and fills me with the
utmost concern. ! have offered a reward
of 81 coo. and all that ] can do in addition
TO that is to be on my guard to protect
my family from an attack which, perhaps,
the next time may be directed against my
home. ] have already expressed the
opinion that the attempt TO burn my
church was tho act of a bigot or fanatic.
There are such things in this world as.
religious anarchists, who hold that IN
sistence on the acceptance of certain be-
liefs constitutes an invasion Of their per-
sonal liberty. These outrages are the
work of such a person.
"The attempt TO destroy my barn IS OBJ
viously the work of an incendiary. and, l
have no doubt, Of the same hand which
fired the church. | need scarcely say that
l utterly reject the idea that any clergy
man could have been concerned in these
outrages. l hope and pray that this Will
prove to be the last attempt, but l have
grave fears. From now on, however, l

A Tennessee snake story.
CHartsylIle CTenn) Vidette)

AAldi ArhAi 'lNtttifl AN'hANff
Snake stories are seldom credited, but
inasmuch as James +. Dalton, Of willard.
Is a reliable gentleman beyond an ques-
ton, we are going 20 reproduce snake
story related by him. and II necessary.
assist I'm vouching FOR it's truth.
Mr.. Dalton says that In his back yard
there was u hen sitting on a gOodly num-
Der OF eggs and he noticed one day that
the eggs were growing less. yet he could
see no sign OF their having been destroy
ed. so be concluded TO keep q sharp look
out and If possible. solve tho mystery.
In a day or two he was passing the place.
and I'm noticing the nest was surprised
TO see a large snake cOiled around tho
hen and holding her at bay while he pro-
cured an egg. and then. unc0iling him.
self. proceeded 10 take a sneak. where
upon Mr. Dalton interfered and cut bim
down with a hoe.
The following day Mr.. Dalton was
working close 70 the house, when his wifo
called him 20 come and kin another
snake. which was exactly In the sams
position and al the same business as tho
first. This one was disposed Of on short
notice. Each OF these snakes measured
over six feet IN length In less than u
week afterward two more snakes OF tho
same kind were Killed IN similar posi-
tions. each one coiled around The hen for
the purpose Of robbing the nest. The last
two snakes were between five and six feet
long We presume that the fate Of these
four snakes broke the rest OF the tribe
from stealing eggs, as no others have
been seen at the business.

Swarms of Clerks

jefferson City. Mo-, Feb. 16.-The
House clerical force is so large that
the members of the House are afraid
to allow them to be collected to.
gether IN one body. This accounts
for the fact that at this session there
will be no third house, an institQtion
of each session of the Legislature
fro In time Immemorial.
An attempt WAS made to organize
the third house last night. The
clerks met Ia the House cham Der,
but the word was quietly passed
that there was danger, on account
Of the great showing in point Of
Numbers, that they made when col
lected into a body, that some Rep
resentative might revive the resoiu
ton TO reduce the clerical force
This rumor was undoubtedly started
by members of the House who
feared the effect OF the meetings of
the third house. The 266 clerks Of
the House and the 164 Senate clerks
would pack Representative Hall
from Speakers desk to gallery.
