and Conspiracy NeaFs End of Term.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Washington, July 2S.-Capt. Oberlin
M. Carter. the engineer officer of the
army who was convicted of conspir-
ing with Gaynor and Greene to swim
die the government, will soon be at
liberty. He was given a sentence of
five years by the military court-mar-
tial which tried him and sent to the
penitentiary at Leavenworth.
The records at both the War De-
partment and the Department of JUS
tice show that Capt. Carter has been
a model prisoner at Leavenworth. AS
a result of his excellent behavior he
will be discharged early in next De-
cember under the "three-fourths" law
He will then go to Arizona as the
chief engineer of an uncle who owns
large copper mines in that section.
The government has recovered a
large part of the money Carter was
convicted of stealing, and If when he
comes out of the penitentiary he un-
wisely displays the possession of
pounce upon him and take from him
whatever property he owns. Theft of
about 100000 was traced to Carter and
nearly half this sum has been recov-
cred by the government. Since he will
not be permitted to enjoy the fruits
of his own labor beyond what Is neces-
sary for bare support until the gov
ernment's claim is satisfied Carter will
have to make about 100000 before he
can hope to begin to save money.

Lowell, Mass, July 30.-A long line
of hearses, moving slowly through the
streets to-day, was a pathetic re-
minder of yesterdays catastrophe at
Tewksbury, when an explosion of tons
of nitro lycerine, dynamite and gun
powder snuffed out nearly a score of
lives, painfully injured more than dou-
tered half a hundred buildings over
a space of several acres.
Tonight the number of dead stands
at nineteen, but it may be increased
to twenty-one at any minute by the
death of two of the ten victims now
at st. Johns Hospital.
All day the searchers probed
through the debris for any traces of
possible unknown victims of the trag-
edy, but nothing was brought to light
which would indicate that the num-
Der would be greater than reported.
A small bit of cloth, later identified
as the lapel of a coat worn by one
of the victims already known, and a
human eye were the only gruesome
reminders unearthed.
Every portion of the ruined territory
has been carefully covered.
Insurance adjusters state that the
loss to their companies will be COM
paratively light, as only the loss re-
suIting from fire will fall upon them.
This will mean that many of the
\
ing men of small means, will lose
everything they had in the world.
The official report of the Tewksbury
selectmen, which was made public to-
night, places the loss in the immediate
vicinity of the powder magazines at
more than 100000 and as the loss will

come in from betting on horse racing
and one. f. j. Arnold, claimed to have
inside knowledge as to winning horses,
and there were plenty of thickheaded
suckers just foolish enough to believe
in h'm. Men who can make 100 per

good luck. but they are more than
anxious to keep it all for themselves
