THE CARTER CASE.
The Papers Received in the Supreme
Court.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The papers in
the case OF Captain Carter were received
at the Supreme Court to-day. The ap-
plication for a writ OF cert:orasi will
have to be made Monday.
The petition for a writ of certlorari,
presented by Abraham j. Rose. Cactars
counsel, says the Importance AMI gravity
of the decision against the nlairsiiS IN
error below is apparent, when 4, - coz
sidered that the views expressed, s II

habeas corpus as to whether the prisoner
had eeea twice punished for The satne

visions of the Constitution and the de-
cision OF this court.
Moreover.if the conclusions OF the e'ir-
cult Court of Appeals be correct a ger
eral sentence may be imposed without
specifying orwhich offense the punish,
ment was inflicted.
The decision of the Circuit Court Of
Appeals invests a court martial with
power to override constitutional pFovis-,
ions and takes from, the courts the right
to inquire by habeas corpus whether con-,
sstitutional rights have beeFi cranssended

The Month of September.

Weather prophets foretold a very
stormy, cold month for September,
but this country has never seen a
o pleasant, sunshiny, agreeable
month than the one which passed
into the great limbec of time with the
hour of midnight last Sunday. There
were a few storms, and they were of
but little consequence, the weather
clearing up again and the warm sun
shine dispelling the clouds quickly.
Taken altogether it was a most de
lightful month September always is
the most delightful month of the
year-and one that we will remember
with pleasure-until it comes around
again with such charm that we shall
say: This, the present month, is the
most delightful of all months we have

Carroll-P

One Of the prettiest weddings that
ever took place in Saratoga was solemn
lied in the Presbyterian church at -:high
twelve" yesterday, when Benjamin T.
Carroll and Miss Ethel Frona Parker
were united in marriage by Rev. Robin
o in the presence OF a large crowd of
friends and well wishers.
The church was beautifully decorated
with flowers. Mrs. Gustave Jensen pre-
sided at the organ and filed the build
ing with delicious music. AT ten min
utes past twelve the bride and groom
entered and marched down the central
isle to the alter to the music of the
wedding march. The ceremony was a
very solemn and impressive one. At it's
close the newly welded pair took their
stand in the vestibule and received the
congratulations OF their friends as they
passed out.
The bride is the only daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. j. d.. Parker. She has grown
to woman hood in our midst. She is a
lady of more than ordinary accomplish
ments Of mind and person and is uni
versally esteemed. She was dressed in
white silk and carried a lovely boquet
OF brides roses, and made a lovely pic
ture.

Business has not been quite so brisk
In our justice court this week, and in
consequence his Amer, Judge Blood,

with Mr.. Golf, the harness maker.
His Amer is having a large, hand
some leather belt made for Mr.. Golf,
which he says he intends to present to
that gentleman, as he regards him
clearly entitled to the championship
in that line, having several times come
off second best in a lying contest with
that gentleman.
The attachment suit of J.. c. Teller
VS. Thomas Ryan, mot our B. T., how
ever,) was postponed until the 10th
inst, to enable Mr.. Ryan to get
sci and witnesses.
The case of the Ferris aggerty
Company against Jerry Combine, for
the larceny of vegetables at the Trans
fer, was closed up Monday. Judge
Blood very feelingly requested Mr..
Combine to contribute $40 toward the
school fund of the county and Mr..
Condine could not refuse so reason
able a request and came down with
the dough"
Charles E. Foe was arrested Tues.
day, on a charge made by Newt. Ran
kin, on behalf of the Ferris Haggerty
Company, charging him with the lar
ceny of a bale of hay from their stables
here in town. Judge Blood fined him
$3.50 and costs, amounting to 81. The
hay was worth so cents, but the theft
of the hay was but one of the many
items which it is said the boy has been
appropriating from the barn and they
want to get rid of him. He has left
this country for this country's good.
Arthur Marsh, the man for whom
there is a warrant out for the larceny
of a saddle from William Norrell,
slipped into town Sunday night, col
lected $3.50 from a woman who was
indebted to him and then hit the trail
again. The officers have gotten track
of him V in the Savery country and
he will probably be apprehended.

Mrs. Turnbull also found a man

not until he had nearly frightened
the wits out of that lady. William
Norrell says he saw a man sinking
