Chicago, Nov. 10—Additional dis
closures by the report ot the expert
accountants for the receivers ot A. C .
Frost's Chicago vV Milwaukee Klcetric
railroad, recently tiled with l nited
States Circuit Judge Crosscup, show
that the total debt outstanding against
the property is $ls, lfi9.$00, and that the
actual cost was $8,454,000.
“The difference between the cost and
tlie indebtedness/* says the report,
“is $9,715,000/'
Onlv a ha/.v idea of the ultimate dis
* *
position of this $9,715,000 exists outside
tlie circle of the promoters of the com
pany. Cntil affairs are probed thor
oughly the investors will not know
all of the quicksands that sucked in
their money.
The Wisconsin division of the road
is the most striking example of extra
ordinary financing. The actual cost of
the construction of this division was
$2,250,000. Against this is a debt of
$13,929,805.

toy Cable to Tlie Dally Gateway.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 10—Former
Senator Edward Carmack,editor of one
of the leading papers in Tennessee was
shot and killed this morning by Robin
Cooper, son of Colonel Cooper.
The shooting grew out of the demo
cratic gubernatorial primaries in
which Editor Carmack was defeated.
He then printed several printed edito
rials in his paper aimed at Cooper, in
which he accused him of using unfair
means to influence the vote.
Cooper considered the attacks by the
editor upon him as unjust, and wanted
him to cease their publication. A con
troversy arose between tlie two men
which led to angry words. Both men
were armed and drawing their weap
ons simultaneously fired at each other.
Carmack fired but one shot before he
I fell dead.
The body will be taken to Columbus,
Mr. Cormack’s old home, for burial.
