MEYERS sURRENDERs.
Wanted on Charge Connected With the
 Alabama Distilling Company.

O. F. Meyers formerly connected with the revenue service in the capacity of storekeeper and gauger at the plant of the Alabama Dstilling and Feed company, near East Lake, and for whom a warrant has been outstanding since October last, has surrendered to the government offlclals and was released on bail.
 On October last the plant of the Ala bama Distilling and Feed company was seized by Collector Bingham, and the pro- prietors placed under bond on charge of riolating the revenue laws in removing spirits on which the revenue tax had not been paid Meyers disappeared and a warrant charging him with aiding and abetting the violation of the law, was inn mediately sworn out and placed in the hands of the officers. Meyers, so 1t is claimed by his attorneys, will prove that he was in no way connected with the all legged violation, notwithstanding the fact that he was custodian of the keys to the store house where the liquor was kept. Meyers left the city and went to Minneso- ta, and has been in communication with friends. so it is said, during his absence. Upon his arrival in the city he went at once to the office of his attorney and ar ranged to surrender. Together with At torney Thatch he appeared before United States Commissioner Cornish to answer to the charge
 The commissioner set the preliminary examination for Saturday next and fixed the bond of the defendant at $500, which was promptly given in the shape of New York exchange to that amount
 The case against the operators of the distillery has been settled, and the plant released, but just what effect that will have on Meyers case cannot be said.

 MT. Edmunds made the opening state ment, appearing in behalf of shipbuilders and ship owners, the great majority or the Americans. The foreign shipping interests were naturally opposed to this measure said MT. Edmunds, and 1t was possible, ne added that some of the greater lines feit that an increase in the water-carrying trade initiated against them Throughout his twenty-five years of service in the sen ate he had sought to secure some such a'd to shipping. ga
 Trade follows the flag, said MT. Ed munds. Once the American ship and the American flag appeared at any point in South America or South Africa, or any other place on the globe, the American commercial men and his agent will follow with his American merchandise.
 MT Edmunds said events of recent months had shown in particular the inn portance of carrying our trade to the far east
 Frederick w Kimball, of the Norfolk and Western Railroad company, stated that if this bill was passed his line ex- pected to establish a new line Of steamers to South American ports. This would overcome the trouble the company now experienced in carrying Virginia coal to South America. The proposed line would run as far south as the river Platte, with a side line up the Amazon.

Love Feast of Confessions

The police court did thriving business fin the burglary line yesterday morning. and five negroes were bound over to the grand jury on this charge.
 Oscar White, Reed Harris, VIII Walker Jack Clark and Nose Mann were all tried at one time on the charge of breaking into W. H. Smiths grocery store at Fourth ave- nue and Twenty-fourth street last Thurs day night Officers Cunningham. Bodeker, Donelson. Perdue and Armstrong, who have worked up the case, have succeeded in breaking up a gang of young negro bur glars who have been doing a lot of bad work around Birmingham.
 When the defendants were put on the stand, a regular love-feast of confessions began, and the negroes seemed to vie with each other as to which could tell more about the crime. White said, among other things, that he has been born on Clark street Chicago; that he had served a nine- teen months term at Coalburg and a two years term at Pratt for burglary, and that he was also the leader of the gang. He tried to clear Will Walker, who was the first negro to get caught with any of the booty, saying that he was as innocent as when he came into the world. Walker, however, refused to say anything in his own behalf Harris also confessed in full. though his statements did not tally exactly with those of Whites. Bit by bit the story came out how these three boys White, Harris and Walker had gone to the store twice Thursday night, and had taken gro- ceries away by the sack-full. Among other things, they got thirteen hams, which ex- plains the disastrous ending of their enter

THE LOCAL ATHLETES.

"A'' and "C'' teams had their final prac- tice at the Athletic club last night prepara- tory to the championship game which will be played tonight Both teams had nearly all of their regular men, and the score all through the practice was very close.
 Tonight the teams will line up as follows:
 "A" Position. "C." Huey... ..center.. ..Jones (capt.) Ferguson, (capt) IT. forward. =. ..Batton Haylow..... .... .... ..l forward. =. Morris Underwood..... IT guard. .....Donelson Biddle..... ..... ....l. guard..... Mcdonald
 After the game tonight the members of the club will give a dance in the gymnas- ium. There will be other attractions during the evening and it is expected that a large audience will be present.
 A letter was received from Lieutenant Ernest Redd, of the Third Alabama in An niston yesterday, trying to arrange game between the Athletic club team and a team picked from among the officers of the Fourth Army corps. The players in the club are anxious for the fray, and if suita- ble arrangements can be made, the game will undoubtedly take place. There are a number of basket ball experts in the regi- ments at Anniston, and although they have not had much practice as the Birming- ham boys, the proposed game promises to be an interesting one.

Rob Servant Girls


 The latest type of thieves, or rather bur glars, with which Birmingham is afflicted are those who rob servant girls of their dresses and other clothing. One day last week some negro went through the South Highlands and raided at least two servants houses. Two are all that have been heard from. One was the nurse of Mr. McCor- mack, and the other was MT. Durham's cook. Fine hats, cloaks dresses and other garments that were the delight of their owners hearts, all went into the ruthless baskets of the plunderers Later on Officer Bodeker found two negroes strolling through the streets of the city with bas- kets, and when he stopped to inquire what was in them, one of the negroes dropped his basket and ran away, but the officer held the other, who turned out to be Gus Brown. Ella Jones, the nurse, and Mary Williams, the cook, both identified the contents of the two baskets, and although "a man over on the Southside jus gin 'em to me an tole me to take 'em som ers,"

 In some way Gus Brown. negro who lived on the Highlands, and who has an excellent reputation, was brought up for trial on this case, the charge being pre- ferred by the nurse girl. she claiming that he was proving around the house the day of the robbery.
 "You see, it wus like dis, jedge," Gus ex- plained, "she bein' a wider, an me bein' wider, too, I nacherly went 'roun her some, helped her hang up her pictures and straighten her room when she was movin', showed her some more little 'tentions jes lak single gen'mens will to single ladies' She didn't seem to lak it, so she up n had me rested"
 "Ill turn you loose, Gus" said Judge Feagin, Any negro who has been living around Birmingham for eighteen years and hasn't got to stealing yet, and who bears the excellent reputation you do, de- serves to get loose'

Once before in 1881. J. V. Quaries
came near reaching the goal which he
has now attained, having received over
40 votes for United States senator in
the senatorial contest of that periol.
lie will form a brilliant associate for
John G. Spooner, and this dual COM
bnation will give to Wisconsin as
strong a team oratorically and intel
lectually as any state in the union has
there-and withal a representation OF
singular elevation in its moral tone
and manly, incorruptible character.
Joseph Very Quarles is one OF the
foremost lawyers and orators of Wis
consin. He has risen to eminence N
the legal profession and stands in the
front rank of jury lawyers. He is a
very successful advocate ana possesses
his audiences by the beauty OF his Ian
guage and finished elocution, while $40
the same time he touches the hearts OF
jurors by the earnestness which he
puts into his work, ano by the feeling
with which he presents his cases to
their consideration. This Is one feat
ure which accounts for his success IN
criminal cases, and another is his
knowledge of the principles of law aud
his faculty for Analysing the evidence
in a case. Mr. Quarlgs is not and ney.
er has been a politician. Always a
student of politics, as well as Of Other
matters which affect the life of the
American republic, and also a firm
unfaltering and consistent republican,
yet his connection with political cam
paigns has been mostly confined to
the oratorical field He has been m
ardent worker in every campaign and
has thus obtained an extended ac-
quainmnce among the republicans OF
the state, which served him we'll in his
contest for the senatorship With the
exception Of one term in the assembly
and the following term In the senate
nearly twenty years ago, Mr.. Quarles
ing in the state senate at the session OF
1881 he received handsome vote for
Tuited States senator but he had
promised his wife that he would stay
out Of politics for ten years and devote
his time to educating their boys, so be
was Obliged to turn a deaf ear to the
solicitations Of h0 legislature friends
Mr. Quarles is in the prime Of HE
being 50 years old ana in the enjoyment
of perfect health, an ideal man, so far
as physical characteristics are con
cerned, FOR senator. He was born at
Kenosha, then Southport, Dec 16, 1913
In 1862 he entered the University Of
