CARRIERS ASSOCIATES.
On Trial for Alleged Conspiracy to Rob
the GOvernmsnt-Cartsr Perhaps
Not the only one

New York, July 9.-The hearing In
the case Of John F., ". 7. and E. H
GaynOr, and B. D. Green, indicted for
alleged conspiracy in connection with
former Capt Oberlin NJ Carter, in
river and harbOr work in Savannah
harbOr, was begun by United States
Commissioner Shields to-day. The
case had been before Judge Addison
Brown In the United States district
court on an order for a warrant to re-
move the defendants from here to the
jurisdiction of the court for the south
ern district Of Georgia for trial. The
motion was denied and the case sent
back to Commissioners Shields to be
heard to-day.
Charles B. Goodyear, of Brunswick,
Ga, was the first witness. Mr.. Good
year said that he had a contract with
the government in 1892 to dredge the
harbOr and that Capt. Carter was de-
tailed to make the survey. The witness
said that Capt. Carter said he had q
system under which he could get the
work done if an appropriation could be
made, and he told the witness If he
would abandon the work and 90 to
Washington to get an appropriation
for jetties, he Carter would pay his
expenses, pay him for the work he had
done and give him One-third Of the
profits accruing from the contract.
Mr.. Goodyear said that he had nothing
to do with the original appropriation
for the work in question, but under an
amendment he had received $4,000 as
his full quota for the work performed.
He admitted that none Of the plans
proposed for the improvement Of the
harbOr were ever cOnsummated and
that no jetties we're ever built. Later
the witness declared, 'what little I had
in the world is on the bar at the bot
tom Of that harbor, and I viii have to
get it back"
The witness said that Carter told
him that the profits accruing from the
proposed contracts would be divided
in three parts, one part for him (the
witness).
William 81. Venable, of Atlanta, Ca,
was the next witness and he said that
he was IN the granite business in 1896,
and that he had made an agreement
through the assistance of Capt. Carter
with John and E. 81. Gaynor to sell
them stone, if they got the government
contract.

CONFERENCE AT LINCOLN.
Bryan Stevenson, ToWae and Other Demo
cratic Leaders Map Out Programme
for the Coming Campaign.

Lincoln, Neb-, July 1O.-Plans for
the democratic national campaign of
1900 were outlined and practically
agreed upon yesterday at a protracted
conference between the leaders of the
party. The plan includes the appoint
ment Of a campaign committee, as
agreed upon between representatives
OF the democratic, silver republican
and pOpulist parties at Kansas City.
Those present at the conference
were ". J. Bryan, Adlai z. Stevenson,

Popuiisis Want TOwne TO stay.
Lincoln, Neb., July 11.-After a
PrOtraCted conference between mem
bers OF the executive committee of
the national democratic committee
and several pOpulist leaders, 1T was
decided to postpone all action upon
the vice presidential matter until
after the sessions of the fusion state
conventions Wednesday. This was
done at the urgent solicitation of the
POpulists, who desire to discover for
themselves the sentiment of the rank
and file Of the party.
GOv.Poynter and several Of the
pOpUlists present took strong ground
against the withdrawal of TOwne.
They said that in Nebraska this might
mean the sacrifice Of the state, If not
Of Bryan, a part Of the state ticket
and the legislature, which elects two
United States senators. They added
that many pOpUlists were formerly
republicans, and If they thought it
plan to lead them into the democratic
fold they were likely to revolt and re-
turn to their old allegiance or join
the middle-Of-the-TOade
Gov. Poynter urged that the better
plan was to have Mr.. Towne remain
upon the ticket. He thought it com
Paratively easy to arrange IN each
state, where fusion exists, a division
Of electors between the parties, and
If there was no choice for vice Presi-
dent, and It might possibly be thrown
into an adverse house, either Steven
son or TOwne could withdraw. In the
end, It was decided to wait until the
sentiment Of the PoPulists would be
more accurately sounded
