WORK THIS MORNING.

Snrvey-The Terminal Bonds All

Mrs. TOmIinsOn of the Marshall

Mrs. D. &. Tomlinson, who is in charge
of the Marshall House, says she has dis

days ago, took about 12O5 of the partner
ship funds. She is close after him, and
is making strong efforts to find out where

Mrs. Tornlinson made the following
statement yesterday of the way Howard
left: He told me he had furniture in a
storage house at Augusta, and said he
wanted to go there to look after it,
suggested that he make some other ar
Taugelnent as ar opera troop was COM
ing, and his services would be needed here
He decided to put off the trip, but think
ing he might be trying to give mo the
dodge, l went to the office before retiring
and inquired if he was in his room. The
night clerk replied in the affirmat tive.
Feeling sure he was not going TO leave.
retired, but was awakened ABOUT midnight
by the clerk, who said Howard had taken
hack, with all his personal belongings
and left word he was bound for Washing
ton.
I hastily arose says Mrs. Thomliuson,
and hurried to the police barracks in
a hack. Not finding the chief there I
went to his house, but found he had no
autohrity TO make the arrest because
Howard was a partner. 1 then tried to
wire on my own account for his arrest
but found the offices closed.
Mrs. Tominson said Howard collected
all outstanding accounts, after which he
left. She says she suspicioned he was

QUARANTINE FAVORS sZECKLER,
DefauIting Collector May Stay in
New Orleans Some Time Yet.

DefauIting Collector May Stay in
New Orleans Some Time Yet.
Morris Szeckler the collector formerly
in the employ of Leopold Adler, who
skipped with a considerable amount of
his employers money, and who has been
arrested in New Orleans, may not be
brought back to Savannah for several
days yet. An officer has not yet been sent.
and may not be if arrangements can be
made to have one come with him from
that end of the line.
Sheriff Roman has charge of the case.
He wired the New Orleans authorities yes
terday in regard to coming with Szeckler,
but has received no definite reply. 1t seems
there is a possibility of trouble on account
of the rigid quarantine regulations Sheriff
Roman does not wish 10 have an officer
start for New Orleans, and be hedged off
al some point by quarantine inspectors. To
avoid this he is endeavoring to get an Of
ficer TO come from New Orleans, which
can be done, 1t is stated, without running
The risk Of any delay.
1t is likely the sheriff will receive some
thing definite in regard to the matter to-
day, but il an arrangement is not made
for an officer to come from there, the
probability is Seeker will remain there
some time yet.
The amount of his shortage with Ad1er's
is not known but it has been estimated
anywhere from $500 TO $1,000. 1t was not
until recently that Mr. Adler felt inclined
10 proceed legally against employees who
took money, but the principles were so
disregarded, that he has found it necessary
to let the law take it's course.

to have the prisoner brought back.
Deputy Sheriff Kennedy, colored. was
detailed to make the trip, and left Sat

officers that he was slightly put out he

HON. o. h. STEVENS HERE.
New Secretary of Agriculture Talks
About That Department.


Hon. o. B. Stevens. secretary of agri-
culture-elect, is in the city on a short
visit to friends, and incidentally TO find a
little relief after the arduous work of the
recent campaign. Mr.. John 1. Morrissey
and other friends had him in charge yes
terday. and he was taken Gown for a lit
lie trip on the salts.
Mr. Stevens was asked yesterday If any
reforms or new lines of work are contem-
plated In the department of agriculture
when he takes charge. The first thing to
be done, he said, would be to get the iegis-
lature to make the department a some
what more liberal appropriation than 1t
has done heretofore.
I'VE want" he said, ito get up some sta
tistics on Georgia agriculture, and be able
TO present in systematic form an idea of
just what the state is doing in this direc-
ton We should know just what land IS
under cultivation in each county, and
what is not. We should know all about
what sections are suited to what crops,
and just what the extent of each crop is.
An of this information can be reduced to
a scientific and statistical basis.
The farmers of Georgia should be in
duced to plant less cotton and more grain
and the influence of the department should
be brought to bear in this direction. What
we want is hog and hominy state, and
/ intend to see what can be done in this
direction"
Mr.. Stevens comes from a section of the
state where farming is the leading indus
try-Southwester Georgia, which supplies
many other sections with the products Of
the field. He has practical knowledge Of
farming himself, and win no doubt afford
the state an able administration of the

eight carloads, have been ordered from
the Virginia Paving Company. This
company Is said to manufacture q sym

the schooner and some plank such as the
vessel was loaded with when she left Jack

a Fernandina dispatch to the Morning
News yesterday stated that wreckage of
the schooner had drifted ashore on the
beach during the day. A portion of her
bow with the fun name was the first
washed in, followed by other parts of the
vessel. Her decks also drifted ashore and
large quantities of lumber. Nothing has
been heard of her crew. The body of a
sailor which came ashore Saturday was
in all probability from the vessel, but 1t
was so dccomposed il could not be identi-

the District to Meet Old Friends.
Congressman Rufus e. Lester spent

less than 1,5C0 TO 1900 majority. only voted
$50 in round figures last Wednesday.
Col. Lester is highly pleased with the
result of the state election in the First
congressional district. While he has never
had any especial reason to fear any oppo-
sition that could be put up against him
1t was at the same time a delight to him
to have the district redeemed entirely
from populistic control in any of its coun-
ties.
The Republicans will probably nominate
a candidate for Congress to-day or take
steps to put one in the field at a convention
later. 1t is expected that w. r. Leaken,
Esq, will be named either at the meeting
OF the joint committee to-day or at a dis
trict convention to which delegates will
be elected by the several counties. Mr.
Leaken is generally looked upon by the
Republican leaders as DESTROYS of being
nominated and the impression among
them seems to be that IL Mr. T. F. John
son viii not run Mr.. Leaken is the best
man for them to put in the field. There
may be some opposition to Mr.. Leaken,

lican party in Georgia. II. is not thought
