WAYCR0SS MYSTERY
STILL UNS0LVED.

covered.

Carver and BIaden Not Yet Dis
covered.
Waycross, Ga, Oct. 12-The princi-
pal subject of conversation in this city
to-day has been the mysterious disap-
pearance of Paul Carver and Will
Bladen Saturday night. Parties have
been searching the swamps and ponds
north of the city all day. but no clue
as to the whereabouts of the man and
boy have been obtained.
1t is the general belief here that they
left the city on some of the trains Sat-
urday night, but many people are of
the opinion that they have been robb d
and possibly murdered, and that their
bodies are in some of the swamps near
Waycross. Mr.. Bladen has telegraphed
and written descriptions of the missi g
men to the police in most of the cities
III Georgia and South Carolina, and has
offered a reward for any information
concerning their whereabouts. All of
Carver's wearing apparel except the
clothes he wore Saturday are still at
the Bladen home, and Mr.. Bladen is
still due him a small sum for his serv-
ices.
Some excitement was created here
late last night when a small negro boy
entered a restaurant and asked for
change for 500. The negro stated that
a man out in Hazard Hill, suburb,
asked him to come to town and change
the money. When the boy left the res
taurant he was followed but in passing
a dark alley, he darted away and
escaped. AS Carver was known to
have had a $50 bill in his possession,
the police were anxious to trace the
money which the little negro was at
tempting to change.

Month, and

The coming season will no doubt be
the liveliest in the clubs history. Last
year the sport was not fine, owing
to bad weather, and to the inroads
made upon the crop of reynards by the
club the season of 1901. Hunters who
have gone over the fields this season
say that foxes are plentiful and the
master of hunt will have no occasion
to disappoint the riders. The master
of kennel spent several weeks in the
East this summer and looked over the
hunting grounds there and sized up
the fox hounds. He picked up several
fast ones and is satisfied that no club
in the country has a prettier or faster
pack of hounds. The famous fireside
hunt will be given at the DeSoto some
time during November and the season
may then be said to be fairly open.
The meets win be Friday of every
week. The club is in a fiourishing con-
dition. Its membership grows every
season. There are several applications
for membership to be acted upon at the
Preside hunt.
The officers are: President, Paul
II. Haskell: vice president, George
f. Tennille; recording secre-
tary, B. b. Neal; corresponding
secretary, Y. D. Respess; treasurer,
j. T. Shuptrlnei attorney, r. M OllNeT,
master OF hunt, Jack Culver; master Of
kennel, M X. Corbin.
The Wiregrass Hunt Club Is the
country club of Southeast Georgia. Its
KENNEL is at Guyton. It's membership
is composed of citizens residing in
the towns and villages within twenty
five or fifty miles of Savannah. Judge
Paul Seabrook is it's president, and
Mr.. Burke Floyd is its vice-president
Its membership is over seventy-five and
it has perhaps the best riders in this
section. The Governor is a member
of the Wiregrass Hunt Club and may
ride with it this season.
This club has the largest pack of
hounds in the state. The Birdsong dog,
the famous Georgia fox hound. which
has never been outrun, since dogs
were dogs, is the breed sought after
by this club, and the dog of which
the clubs pack is largely made up.
The Preside hunt of this club will
take place as the president may de-
termine, later, but not later than Nov
].
The young lady members of the club
are superb horsewomen, and 1t is doubt
full if their equals can be found In
the state. The fields over which this
club rides are high and dry and open
and the sport is unsurpassed and foxes
are plentiful this year, and the out
look is for a great season.

MYSTERY EXISTS AS
TO A $25O,OOO CHECK
Lewis Nixon, on Witness Stand, De-
clares He Knows Nothing About 1t.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Lewis Nixon
occupied the witness chair again today
at the hearing before an examiner of
the United States Shipbuilding case
and gave much valuable testimony COW
erlng the finances and general affairs
OF the corporation. He testified that he
had opposed the Sheldon reorganiza-
ton plan and had as a counter PROPOSE
ton urged that the stock be assessed
in order to raise the amount necessary
TO save the combination from default
and bankruptcy. His plan of assess
ment was opposed by Charles NJ.
Schwab, holder at that time of $780,
100000 of the stock, who, according to
Mr.. Nixon, declared that the stock
holders would not pay the assessment
Mr.. Schwab, so Mr.. Nixon swore. de-
clined to put up any more unless the
Bethlehem bonds were given prefer
ence dis lien upon the shipbuilding
plants to the first mortgage bonds.
Mr.. NlXon'S testimony also developed
that there was a wide discrepancy as
to estimated earnings in letters written
by Treasurer Gary to members of the
reorganization committee.
Much time was taken up with an
unsuccessful effort to get at the his
tory of a mysterious check for $3.50. 900
found at the Trust Company of the Re-
public. 1t was drawn to Lewis Nixon
or ourselves" on the same day the
checks were made out for the payment
of the cash given to the vendors for
their plants and property. Mr. Nixon
swore that he had never seen the check
before and knew nothing of its history.
Both sides disclaimed knowledge of it's
history and the destination of the
amount of money for which 1t was
drawn and the only explanation offered
from any source was that it had been
made out by mistake and had simply
been put through the banks by the
Trust Company of the Republic.
Mr.. Nixon testified that he knew as
early as last April that unless the COM
bination could get some money from
the Bethlehem property or elsewhere it
must fail, and warned his associates on
the directorate that they must husband
their resources. 1t was brought out
that the share of promotion profits set
aside for Mr.. Schwab, of which Mr..
Nixon told yesterday, had never beer
paid. None of the commitments on
account of promotion were paid, so Mr.
Nixon testified

THIRTEEN THOUSAND
MEN IN "BATTLE''
Maneuver at Fort Riley That Aston
isles the British Attaohe.

FORT RILEY, Kan, Oct. 21.-As a
spectacle to gaze upon, the military
maneuvers today would be difficult to
surpass, but in point of dramatic ac-
ton they amounted to very little. The
entire force in camp was formed into
a division, under the command of Brig.
Gen Grant, and ordered to deploy in
line of battle to protect Fort Riley
against an imaginary enemy advanc-
ing to attack it.
All arms of the service were out.
Thirteen thousand men moving into
battle at one time, and nearly every
man in plain view, is something that
cannot often be seen in this country.
On the deadly practical side, the
posting of the men on points of van
tage was considered well done by the
umpires and the days work was there
fore distinguished success.
The American system of placing a
line of battle in the hollows and leav-
ing the high ground comparatively un-
defended was something of surprise
to Col. Foster, the English military at
tache
Tomorrow the problem is to be the
weightiest of the entire series.
Gen. Barry, with the Second, Twelfth
and Twenty-first regulars, the First
and Second Kansas infantry, the Eighth
and Tenth cavalry and two batteries, is
to march out tonight and bivouac. To-
morrow he will advance toward the
post. Gen. Bell, with the remainder of
the troops, will make a reconnaissance
in force and Gen. Barry will attack him
as soon as possible. 1t is estimated that
the troops will march all of fifteen to
twenty-five miles during the day.
Lieut.. Col. Wagner, acknowledged to
be one of the leading military strate-
gists in the world, lectured tonight to
all the brigade and staff officers of the
division, including among his audi
ence Gen. Ian Hamilton, of the British
army, who arrived late this afternoon.
