ARE AFTER STOLEN MONEY
GOVERNMENT SEEK RESTITU-
TON FROM EMBEZZLER.
Suit Commenced to Recover Property
Said to Have Been Purchased
with Government Funds.

New York, July 30-The first step
by the government looking to the re-
covery of part of the $2,250,000 alleg-
ed to have been embezzled by Ober-
lin M. Carter, late captain of corps
of engineers now serving sentence at
Leavenworth, Kans., while he was
supervising government work in the
harbor at Savannah, Ca, was taken
today when Marion Erwin, of Georgia,
special assistant attorney general Of
the United States, filed bills in the
United States court for the southern
district of New York and of the dis
trict of New Jersey, against O.. M.
Carter and Lorenzo D. Carter, his
uncle.
Under these bills a temporary re-
ceiver was appointed for the proper
ties in New York and New Jersey.
Stanton Carter, brother of o. M. Car
ter, is also made a party to the bills.
The bills seek a decree declaring
that certain property held in New
York by the defendants was purchas-
ed with funds intrusted to Captain
Carter as disbursing officer and by
him through conspiracy with o n
tractors fraudulently converted to
his own use. The property, it is
charged, is now being held in the
name of Carriers uncle and brother
for his benefit while he is serving out
his sentence in the ~penitentiary I'M
der conviction for fraud. Under the
bill Judge Edward B. Thomas, pre-
siding in the United States circuit
court here passed an order for SER
vice by publication on non-resi-
dent defendants for appear
ance on September IL, 1901,
and Frank w. Hubby was appointed
temporary receiver for the Eighth
avenue property, not disturbing ten
ants therein until nonresident par
ties a be heard.
"A similar order was made by Judge
Andrew Kirkpatrick, appointing Mr..
Hubby temporary receiver in the New
Jersey district with like powers as
to Orange, N. j., property.

BROKEN RAIL CAUSES TRAIN
TO LEAVE TRACK.
COACHES ARE OVERTURNED
One Man Buried Under Cars
Twenty-four Others
Injured.

Krmelin, o. T., July 3O-The north
bound Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
passenger train which left FL Reno
at Z o'clock a. M, three hours late,
crowded with departing homeseekers,
was wrecked this afternoon, while go
ing at full speed, two miles south of
here. o. L. McClain of Enid, O. T.,
was killed and "a other passengers
were cut and bruised 1t is believed
none were fatally hurt. A broken rail
over a culvert washed out by heavy
rains, threw the baggage al from
the track. This car, the smoker and
n passenger car were overturned,
resting on their sides. Three passen-
ger cars and the Pullman also left
the track but did not overturn. The
engine and mail car remained on the
track. Engineer Kelly shut off the
air on the train as he saw the cul-
vert's condition, and thus saved a
greater destruction. The track was
torn up for 800 feet. Passengers in
the overturned cars were lifted out
through the upper windows. G. L.
McClain, who was killed, was sitting
on the car step of the smoker at the
time Of the accident. He was buried
under a car and the body was not
taken out for two hours. A stock
train had passed the point just ahead
Of the passenger and a farmer boy
saw the broken rail and washout. He
tried to warn the passenger engineer
but was too late.

CONFLICTING ORDERS VERY
NEARLY CAUSE A WRECK.
BRAKES APPLIED IN TIME
Engineers Jump and Trains Strike
with Force Enough to
Break Pilots.

Peru, Ind, July 3O-The limited
mail on the Wabash railroad narrowly
escaped a frightful wreck here to-
night. The fast mail due here at Z
o'clock was detained by a partially
burned bridge, and received orders
to come to Peru.
About the same time a special
bridge train was sent from here and
after it had left came the news of
the departure Of the passenger train
with no telegraphic station between
the points. Employees realized that
nothing short Of a miracle could save
the trains, and a wrecking train raj
called out with the physicians of this
city on board and preparations were
made for the worst. The wrecking
train had only gone about four miles
when the passenger was seen coming.
At a point where the two trains
met was a long curve and the head
lights Of both engines were seen.
With this in their favor and with the
full force of the emergency brakes
applied the engines came together
with sufficient force to break the
pilots, headlights and othehr parts Of
the front ends, but neither. left the
track. Both trains were running at
a rate Of fully so miles an hour and
the shaking up was terrific. Passen-
gers were tossed about and two men
were severely but not dangerously
injured by having their heads out of
the windows. Mrs. r. H. Berndt Of
Wabash, an invalid, was shaken so
that serious prostration resulted.
Enginemen and laborers jumped but
none were injured beyond small
bruises. Mail matter was thrown in
all directions, but one Of the nine
clerks were injured.

to be an ordinary skirmish between a
British column and Boer commando
near Nqueta, July %, shows that a

Boston, July 30-George F. Wash.

Commonwealth club of Massachusetts,
sailed for Europe tonight on a mis-
sion to inquire into the cooperative
methods of various bodies in England,
Belgium and Switzerland, with a view
to the formation Of $50 cotton combi-
nation in this country. According to
an interview Washburn has worked
out a plan to unite the cotton pro-
ducers of the south into one great CO.
operative trust with headquarters at
St. Louis and a central warehouse in
Memphis. Mr.. Washburn, who in
two national campaigns was national
executive committeeman of the peo-
pies party, was asked if his plan
had any political significance and he
said only so far as it was successful
and in that case it would have a far
reaching effect along political lines
in the west and south.

take off all supertuons trimmings and

girls are permitted by their mothers To
dress ahSllrdly at school. but that lack of
propety speaks for itself, and what II
does reveal is just the reason why il
should not become an example to be fol.
lowed. The standard held ont here is the
standard adhered TO by all mothers Of
good brecding--women whose mothers
and grandmothers observed the propri-
eties in dress for themselves and fo.
their children.
Boleros are too finicky for young
child and not all fit. For a change from
the blouse model are gathered or platte Il
waists with belts and skirts attached.
They look very well if the child is mo-;
too tall for her age. One has to con
slider the chld's height and figure al
ways.
School coats are decidedly smart If they
are long, and reach quite the bottom of
the frock. over which they are worn.
Two or three overlapping capcs across

trimmings giving modishnesS TO the
