>6iV York. July 20.—The hearing in the
cgso of the Gaynors and B. D. Greene
looking toward their removal to Georgia
(gr trial for alleged conspiracy with for
fr capt. O. M. Carter, in connection
with Savannah harbor frauds, was con
tinued to-day b’fore United States Com
missioner Shields.
James L. Gallagher, former paymaster
and iiookkeeper of the Atlantic.jContract
:ng Company, was the first witness.
United States District Attorney Erwin
of Georgia, acting for the government In
the hearing, said before the witness was
called that he would attempt to show by
hm that claims were made upon the gov
,rnment for over $600,090 in certain cases
where the actual cost was only about $73,-
000.
The witness testified to bills for various
expenditures which passed through his
hands He said that when he first went to
work for the Atlantic Contracting Com
pany in 1892, Ed. H. Gaynor was in charge
of the w rk being done and John F. Gay
nor was in charge of the office. The ac
count of the Atlantic Company, the -wit
ness said, was kept most of the time in
the Southern Bank of Georgia. Air. Erwin
then asked the witness what was the to
tal amount expended on a certain Savan
nah harbor contract.
Mr. Kellogg objected, and it was decid
ed that the books showing the figures
must be brought into court.
(Rjit. Austin Krouglit in,
Gallagher said in answer 'to Mr. Erwin
that XV. G. Austin was inspector for the
government in 1893. He saw Austin in
1893, in the office of the Atlantic Contract
ing Company in Savannah. He said thJre
some questions of money due Austin by
the company. This he gathered from a
conversation between Austin and E. H.
Gaynor.
A letter written by Austin to Carter
applying for the position of government
inspector of engineering work, was in
troduced some days ago. He was ap
pointed by Carter on recommendation of
Benjamin D. Greene.
District Attorney Erwin said he wanted
it brought out that Austin was appointed
a government inspector on Greene's rec
ommendation to inspect and pass upon
work which Greene was interested in and
received compensation both from the gov
ernment and the company whose work he
inspected.
Thcdefense attempted to show that Gal
lagher had been promised and given a
government position on the understanding
that he would become- o witness tor the
government. 'This Gallagher denied.
J. XV. O. Sterley, chief clerk in the en
gineer's office at Savannah was then call
ed He swore to the authenticity of sev
eral vouchers which were put in evidence.
• apt. Carter’s Checks.
Francis Kaine, chief clerk of the check
pay division of the sub-treasury of New
York, the next witness, showed a list of
checks drawn on the sub-treasury by for
mer Capt. Carter to the Atlantic Contract
ing Company. These were put in evidence
and also a list of the original special
checks drawn by Capt. Carter In fovor of
the Atlantic Contracting Company ex
tending from 1522 to 1897. All these were
taken from the vaults of the sub-treas
ury. Mr. Kaine testified that there were
also in the sub-treasury other disbursing
checks firawn by Copt. Carter for sala
ries. These were not brought to the hear
ing anil are Mr. Kaine’s personal charge,
as are those placed in evidence.
t artar’s Stock Transactions.
C. 11. Van Deventer, a member of the
New York Stock Exchange and a broker,
testified that he knew Capt. Carter and
had stock transactions with him. A large
sheet, a copy of the transactions with
Capt. Carter, and the original books were
In cou-rt and shown. Mr. Van Deventer
said Capt. Carter paid all transactions by
checks. The list included all purchases
of bonds for Capt. Carter and what was
done with them; also Including the prices
tor buying and selling. The list was nearly
all bonds, generally In lots of nearly $3,000.
The list consisted of nearly 300 transac
tions. the first transaction being on Jan. 3.
3891. and they followed on an average of
three times a month for several years. It
was brought out by checks shown that
much of the speculating was carried on In
Mr. XVestcott's name. Mr. Erwin said he
intended to show that a check for $14,300,
Signed by "R. F. XVesteott," was one
third of an amount taken illegally from
the I'nitcd Slates government and repre
sented Capt. Carter’s share in the trans
a lion. The other two-thrrds, he said,
were divided between the defendants. Tile
court adjourned until Monday.

TWICE SHOT AND HADLY BEATEN.
Doctor Insults Girl and Her Fnllier
XVrenks Punishment.
Columbus. Ga., July 20.—Doctor W. C.
Alien has been In the city hospital here
for some days suffering with a fractured
arm. Parties from Chattahoochee, Fla.,
tell a sensational story in which Dr. Al
len figured to no great advantage.
It seems that Allen made Improper ad
vances to the 11-year-old daughter of Mr.
XV. F. Davis at Chattahoochee. The child
told her mother, who informed her hus
band, and he went to the place Allen had
asked the child to meet him. Davis shot
Alien twice, then beat him into insensi
bility, und left him for dead. Allen re
gained consciousness and crossed the river.
Next day Davis,heard of it and with a
physician and some friends went after
him. He told the physician he did not
want to kill Allen, but to beat him until
he was at the point of death.
Allen was placed across a log and Da
vis beat him until the physician told him
to stop, or he would kill him. Alien took
a boat and came here, where he was ad
mitted into the hospital. Aside from gun
shot wounds, his body showed evidences
of the terrible beating he had received.
Alien says he gained the title of doctor
by selling medicines, but others say he
posed as specialist on incurable diseases.
Davis is a well known citizen of Colum
bia, Ala.

evidence of personal loyalty. W : hat a
scene this was, my countrymen, hete stood
side by side the grand representative of
the Cavaliers and the splendid tyre of the
Puritans, facing anew 7 ip.ch in the his
tory cf the saved nation. In this hour,
big with events, the Puritan and Cava
lier were merg-d Into anew product of
our soil, the one r. pr sentatlve type of
the future within our Union, the Ameri
can Christian citizen. T.me s curtain then
dropped down lo shut out from view the
carnage cf war, blood ceased to How, and
only the mi morles of the dread strife re
mained. Peace, sweet peace came to bless
all homes and gladden all hearts within
the circle of our Union.
Happy Reconciliation.
"I am proud to say on this glad day
that as a whole and under ail the condi
tions in a broad view, the South has nobiy
kept the bond made at Lee's surrender.
The reconciliation has been as complete
as it has been glorious in the happy circle
of our redeemed Union. The bravest ore
the tenderest, and the heroic' are the dar
ing in all battles of war or peace, and
the stately and heroic Lee and his able
generals, as a whole, fully accepted the
bond of blood and at once entered upon
the era of peace, worthy irt a citizenship,
surcharged with the sentiments of lasting
peace and concord. But it remained un
der God for the Spanish-American war to
come to bring into line, side by side with
th© sons of veterans of the North and the
sons of veterans of the South, marching
to the music of the Union, under the Stars
and Stripes, and commanded by former
wearers of the Gray and Blue, to bring
forth full concord between old foes and
thus sec'uren common sentiment of Amer
ican patriotism.
Nome Irritating Hem nil's.
"I ant aware that both in the South and
in the North there linger irritating mem
ories' over the great war. It is not strange,
that this should be so; it would be strange
indeed if it were otherwise, under all the
remarkable circumstances surrounding Ihe
mighty conflict and victory. There Is
some misunderstanding, no doubt, even
yet, both In the North and
in the South, over the conditions and pro
prieties which the surrender made bind
ing upon all. The South fought under
their Stars and Bare, and the principles
these stood for, with a heroism unsur
passed in battle record, and when they 1 del
down their arms in surrender, ail they
fought for went with their silenced guns
In an unquestionable settlement and de
cision of all the issues Involved. The
Confederacy passed into history as a poet
and gone effort to "found n new nation”
on American eoll, and Its furled flag
should have no place in public view or
parade henceforth. Old things have in
deed passed away with us, atul the ntj 1
promises of present and future growth In
all that makes a nation happy and free,
as well as wise and truly great, should
be as the "pearl of great price" to every
soul in our dear land. I do not like to
hear the term "Rebels" and "Traitors"
applied now to the former foes of our na
tion, for It seems to me that men who
volunteered to face death In the he(l of
battle did all that honest men could do to
prove their loyalty to principles and duty,
as they saw from their point of view,
duty and principle. When they yielded lo
the fate of war and accepted the new des
tiny of the mitlon. they stood upon a com
mon plane of American citizenship, flesh
of our flesh, bona of our bone, and Amerl
i.eans all. And 1 do not belleva we should
ask ex-Confederates to admit that they
were wrong or traitors in the service they
honestly rendered the Southern Confed
eracy. I know of no higher test of love
of country than that of periling one’s life
for his ideals of law, justice and liberty.
Under this view it would follow that a
final settlement of our sad and bloody dif
ference should forever end, all harsh re
criminations regarding the great war.
A Touching Incident.
"I shall never forget the thrill that one
ex-Confederate speech sent through my
soul. He said that he served In the Con
federate army all through the war, and
at its close his heart nearly broke under
the burden of final defeat. He almost
doubted the Providence of God, as in tears
and agony he, laid down his arms. But tlie
travail of soul passed, and he communed
thus to himself: '1 have done my duty as
1 understood it. have periled all and lost
all in the conflict, and now, under the
laws and fate and of war, X fully accept
the new destiny.' I have a Confederate
flag I followed tn the war, and once a year
I bring it out and display It In my home.
1 have made provisions in my will that
when my time comes to go, three cx-Con
federatea arid three ex-l’iiion veterans
shall bear my body to the tomb, and I
have directed that my Stars and Bars
shall be wrapped about my body so that
I may sleep the sleep that knows tio wak
ing within the folds of the banner 1 fol
lowed so often in battle, and this Is to be
the disposition of the emblem of our Lost
Cause In my family-buried out of sight
forever. And tie closer} one of the nt rsl
eloquent speeches to which I have ever
listened, as follows: “Now, sir, I am at*
American citizen, as loyal as you can ho
to the Stars and Stripes, and to the new
destiny of this Union, I would willingly
peril my life in Its defense, and my chil
dren are taught to live In the
present and for the future, zealous
for the fullest realization of tlie fruits of
the victory won by the armies of the
North and faithful in all that inspires
sentiments of loyalty anil strength In the
Institutions of our now happy re-united
naiion.
"This Is the spirit of wis lon\ as It seems
to me, which should dominate nil Ameri
can hearts in the living present of this
closing year of the greatest centuyy in
Ihe life of man. Let us cherish our coun
try, and labor to secure the raising of
the Stars and Stripes over every school
house In the nation, and to place common
text-books within them in every way
worthy of a great nation, us the only
safeguard of future national development
and glory. It oost the lives of a million
men, ond untold sacrificing In suffering
and treasure ns the price paid for not
wisely understanding each other, South
and North, In the 60’s, and now the lamp
of the Ix>rd sltotild be our guide along
the ways of right and righteousness with
in the circle of our great country, so ns
to be worthy of our birthright, bought
with such a price, and where a union
of hearts and a union of hands, and the
flag of our Union may be our watchword
and defence forever.
Return of Captured Flags.
"Much that was wise with much Irrele
vant haa been said In the past, as well
as In the present about the return of cap
tured battle flags. Ido not see what real
service agitation over this /mention will
render the living veteran* either of the
South or the North. They are a part of
the dead past, and of an Issue forever
closed. Many of the heroes who won or
lost Ihe colors of troops, battery or regi

From the Portland Oregonian.
J. I. Carton, a well-known sheep drover.
Is In Portland, preparing to start "on the
trail" with 8,500 yearling wethers, pur
chased In Morrow county. He says he
would like lo have about 8,000 more, but
remarked: "They nre holding ’em too
high for me. I am willing to pay 12 25
a head for wethers and 82.75 fer ewes,
but Kaatein Oregon sheepmen think they
are worth more, eo we can't trade."
Mr. Carson toya he will start hia big
flock Just as soon as the aheep have been
shorn. He will probably ship by train
from Heppner lo Huntington, and ferry
across the Snake river near the terminus
of Oregon Railroad and Navigation. He
hast not yet solved the problem as regards
crossing Wyoming, as the new quarantine
low o£ the stale was framed to prevent
“trailing" across its lands. He Is think
ing. therefore, of spending the summer
and foil In the Wood river mountains, and
will decide in the meantime how to invade
Wyoming.
lie thinks this will he the last hand of
sheep "trailed” across the state of Idaho,
ns the Hnake river plains are now nearly
u’l claimed for range and the water hug
about all been taken up. In one locality
he will have a twenty-live mile drive be
tween watering places, and as six miles
a day Is a fair day’s travel, the sheep
will have to go without water for four
days on a atre’ch. He will drive over this
region In the night time, as the weather
will be too hot to enable the animals to
travel without water. The country along
there Is sagebrush and Hand, and great
care will have to be exercised In ordar to
avoid losing sheep. He will provide the
band with twenty bells, he says, and by
counting these and the black sheep occas
ionally the men will be able to miss any
large bunch that might be left behind.
"Trailing sheep across Oregon, Idaho
and Wyoming used to be a picnic,” entd
Mr. Carson, "when the country was open,
but now we expect more or lea* trouble
from people who claim the grass all along
the route. We can hunt and fish while
the sheep are resting during the heat of
the day, and our frequent change of loca
tion creates perpetual novelty. Once In a
while some Irete farmer or cattleman g*<s
after us, fearing our flocks will eat his
grass all up before we get by. but we
have thus far avoided any serious trouble,
mid we hope to pull through without any
In this our last trailing venture across
Idaho."
Mr. Carton nas been purchasing Ore
gon sheep for the “trail’* for quite a num
ber of years, he says, but never had to
pay as much for them a now. ' 1 Five
years ago." he sold, "I bought all tho
yearlings I wanted at SI a head In East
ern Oregon, end drove them through to
Central city. Neb., where I hnd them fed
on corn that cost 8 cents a bushel and on
hay at a ton delivered. And yet our
firm made no money out of the transac
tion—just came out even. We hope to
make money now.**
