startling. The expenditures for Cumber-
land Sound were made through the First
National Bank of Fernandina. Fla.
through the account of William r. Cav
nor, under the 1896 contract. They show a
total withdrawal of $1OS, Isl. 81. OF that
amount $4,000 was returned to Greene. as
shown by the accounts, but it is not
necessary to consider that for the pur-
pose of this comparison.
Exhibit 217, identified and offered in
evidence, shows that there was actually
paid on this contract $3.50 and the to-
tai amount claimed for work done under
the contract is $604E3902. 1t is shown
that the contractors are suing for this
balance.
Profit of 100000.
1.-THE above is sufficient to point out"
says Mr.. Erwin in his brief, that for
work under the 1896 contracts at Sayan-
nah and Cumberland Sound, which cost
the contractors in the aggregate some
thing under 100000, they are claiming at
contract prices something over $9OO, 900, and
that too for work done within the short
Ping of work, about September, 1897. For
such immense profits the contractors
could certainly afford to pay high and the
next inquiry would naturally be what
compensation did Carter get for this great
bonus given to the defendants?"
How this compensation to Carter was
shown, through the rema rkable work done
by Edward l. Johnson, the national bank
examiner designated by the government
to assist Mr.. Erwin in the preparation of
this branch of the case, is a matter of
familiar newspaper history. MIR. John
sons Investigations and their results
demonstrated conclusively that the profits
of the several contracts were divided in
thirds, and that Greene, John Gaynor and
Carter were the equal beneficiaries of the
division. Mr. johnson even showed that
Carter was made an arbitrary allowance
of $50 for the expenses of each of his trips
to New York to effect these divisions and
showed absolutely in what securities his
share of The fruits of the conspiracy was
invested.
One of the remarkable tables prepared
by Mr. Johnson is reproduced in Mr.. Err
wins brief. 1t shows the aggregate of
the thirds of divisions and the aggregate
of investments held by Carter at cor
responding dates. The table recalls how
the division into thirds resulted, each adj
ditional amount being added to the total,
both in computing the aggregate of thirds
of division and the aggregate of invest
ments at each date.
1t does not attempt to show the man
ner of the first division. but begins with
the second dated Jan. 3. 1893. Before
that time, Carter had some investments
already made. The table Is as follows:

CHEAP TELEPHONES.

That was an interesting letter
which The Free Press printed yes
tsrday from its Wausau correspond
ent, telling what Wisconsin river
valley business men had accomp-
lished in the way of cheap telephone
service. 1t is also an example of
what might be accomplished in the
way of public ownership, when in
telligently and honestly managed.
Started in a small way six years
ago, the Wausau exchang installed
l40 telephones. Business men paid
$a month and dwelling houses
$3.50. It's second year showed net
profits of $4,375 and the charges
were reduced to $3.50 a month for
business houses and rs cents for
residences. There are now 460 tele-
phones in use.
Similar success was met with in
Grand Rapids, Centralia and Merrill
and the valley towns connected by
long distance lines. The service is
described as excellent. 1t is fer-
tafnley cheap. 1t does not have to
pay dividends on watered capital
1t has no extravagant salaries to
pay. y.-Milwaukee Free Press, July

HOW TO KEEP The HOUSE COOL
What Can be Done to Make it a Com
Portable, Restful Place in
Hot Weather.

''Many things can be done to make
even the small house a comfortable,
restful place in hot weather." writes
Maria Parloa, in The Ladies' Home
Journal for August. "Of course the win
dows must be properly shaded with
blinds or awnings, and also well screen
ed. All the heavy hangings should be re-
moved, and when possible the carpets
should be taken up or covered with
linen. Cool colOrs, such as white, grey,
light green's and blues, should take the
place of the warmer cOlors. Thin white
muslin curtains soft and light. The
house should be well aired and summed
at least once a day. The early morn
ing is the best for this. Open all the
windows and blinds and let the sun and
air pour through the house. About
nine o'clock close the blinds and all the
windows except one or two downstairs
and two or three upstairs. In the open
windows place wet grass screens, or
cover the regular screens with wet tlan-
mel. When the sun goes down open all
the windows and blinds. A skylight or
window should be kept open night and
day in the attic, except, of course, when
it rains. The cellar windows should
be open only at night. If they are not
closed during the heat of the day the
warm, moisture laden air enters the
cellar and condenses on walls, pipes,
metals, etc, and in a few days will
make it so damp as to be an unsuitable
place for keeping food.

GETTING READY.

The home members of the camp of
Modern Woodmen are extremely busy
just now making arrangements to re-
ceive and entertain the large number
of visitors who will attend the annual
M. w. A. picnic one week from next
Thursday The main building at the
fair grounds is to be turned into din
ing hall; tables are being set on the
lower and upper floors of the main
part, whilst the lower part of the new
addition will be used as kitchen. The
dining pavilion has been cut in two
and will be placed V shaped from the
kitchen, so that those at the tables can
be served the more readily. A dancing
platform is being built under the trees
between the main building and the
grand stand. There are many other
things under way for decorations, etc.
A merry-go-round has been secured
the same one that was at the fair last
year. The picnic will be the most
extensive one ever given in Wausau.

SETTLED AT LAST.

For ten years past the creditors of j.
f. Leahy have been in litigation with
Henry Corwith and James McCrossen.
In 1890 Mr. Leahy conveyed to Messrs.
Corwith and McCrossen the timber,
saw mill, etc., they agreeing to saw
out the timber, pay for the work, make
sale of what was manufactured and
after, paying the Indebtedness return
what there was left to Mi. Leahy.
Creditors took judgments, and W. f.
Collins was the first to commence suit
to set aside the conveyances. He won
and then followed the case of +. w.
Kickbusch, ct. al, which was tried be-
fore Judge Webb, in the Circuit Court.
at Grand Rapids, which resulted in the
decision that Corwith and McCrosSen
could hold the property. The judg-
ment was reversed by the Supreme
Court last spring. The parties to the
suit concluded to stop further litigation
and to settle up the affair, which was
done last week. The total claims
amounted to SS3, ,475.41.
The court gave the creditors the mill
property and an equity in certain
lands, but the equity did not amount to
much and was settled for $780, After
deducting the expenses there was left
81, 7,34390, which enabled creditors to
receive something like % per cent. on
their respective amounts. During the
suit, Mr.. Leahy secured a discharge in
bankruptcy, so there is little possibility
of anyone receiving the balance on
their claims.
Messrs. Brown, Pradt x Genrich,
Mylrea Il Bird and Bump, Kreutzer &
Rosenberg, were for the plaintiffs, and
MeSSrS. Ryan, Hurley & Jones for the
defendants
