QUIRK CAUGHT IN TAMPA.
Defaulting Treasurer of the Repub-
licnn Blues Arrested.


Michael r. Quirk, the defaulting treas
urer of the Republican Blues, was arrest
ed yesterday in Tampa by the police of
that city One of the dity detectives will
leave for Tampa to-day and will bring the
man back to Savannah for trial
Quirk had been treasurer of the Blues
for about a year before the crime for
which he was arrested became known
This was on July last, when, after re-
peated requests for a statement of his
account with the company had been re-
fused to Capt. NJ. Ed. Wilson, the cap
tain himself made an investigation of the
company's bank account and found that
it was overdrawn. Quirk was charged
with the shortage and admitted his guilt.
but steted that If he was not arrested he
would get friends to make good the
amount of the shortage
Upon this understanding and the as
surance of several of Qurks friends who
promised 10 be responsible for the
amount, he was not arrested. He spent
the next five or six days at work on the
books which were very badly muddled
but at the end of that time disappeared
The men who had stood surety were
asked to make good the amount but not
only refused to do so. but likewise re-
fused TO make known the whereabouts
of the defaulter. The matter was then
reported to the police.
The amount that Quirk made away with
is estimated to be between $3.50 and $500
though from the condition in which he
left the companys books, 1t Is mpossi-
Bile TO state the exact amount.
The bylaws of the company provide
that the treasurer shall be under bond
As Quirk was treasurer when the pres
ent officers were elected, il was thought
that this provision of the bylaws had been
complied with. but after his departure
it was found that such was not the case
so 1t is likely that the company will lose
the entire amount of the defalcation.

BLUES ON THE RANGE.
The Company Medal Won by Lieut..
j, NJ, Dreyer.

W.
The annual shoot of the Republican
Blues was held yesterday afternoon at
the rife range The scores were not as
high as were expected, and as would
have been made had the conditions been
more propitious. The weather had been
very threa tening before the departure of
the company, under command of Capt.
NJ. Ed Wilson. from the Regmental
Armory and, while the fear of rain had
about passed away by the time the COM
pany arrived at the range, the air was
murky and it was impossible to secure a
clear view of the targets, especially the
more distant ones. Considering the adj
verse conditions, the officers regarded the
scores as very satisfactory.
The company medal was won by First
Lieutenant J. NJ. Dreyer, whose score was
100. This was at the 200, 300 500 and 900
yards ranges and on the skirmish, all of
which figures in the rifle practice regua-
tons. and are those upon which records
as sharpshooters and marksmen are
made. Lieut.. Dreyer is a Sea Girter, and
the score is far below that of which he
is capable. His sharpshooters qualfica-
ton this season was upon the score of
1885, from which il may be judged that the
light was poor, or that something else
was radically wrong.
Quartermaster Sergeant Wilkinson was
next in the competition, his score being
l0l. His highest score this season was
l16. Lieut.. Dreyer's score at the several
ranges was as follows: is at 200, q at 300,
Al az 500, II at 600 and IL at the skirmish
Sergt Wilkinson's score was 20 a 200 IS
at 300, AZ at 500, 10 at 600 and at the
skirmish. His prize was also a medal
The prize in the honorary, veteran and
pay classes was won by Capt j. P. White.
honorary member, whose score at the two
ranges, 200 and 300 yards. at which those
classes fired, was 40, being made with IS
at 200 and % at 300.
The company enjoyed refreshments at
the range and upon the return 10 the
armory The cool atmosphere that fol-
lowed the wind and rain of the early af-
ternoon made the stay on the range more
pleasant than many have found 1t who
have gone out on warmer days.

A MILLION FEET OF TIMBER.
Sixteen Hundred Pieces in n Tow
From Darien.

A long tow of lumber arrived yesterday
from Darien by the tug Neptune 1t
looked like a huge sea-serpent as it pass
ed the city front on its way to the
wharves further up the river. The tow
is composed of seven RATS, numbering
1000 sticks of timber, and, 1t is estimated,
measured a million feet. II is sent here
for shipment abroad, tramp steamers
during the season taking large quanti-
ties of such lumber as deck loads, or dun
mage.
Millions upon millions of feet of this
class of Southern pine finds its
way TO foreign ports in this way. 1t is
just so much extra freight and is car
rled at low rates This is one of the en-
terprises of a great commercial port
where every article that can he shipped
at profit has a market found for it.

likely that ground will be broken for the

BOYCOTT REQUESTED
Head Of Striking Photographers
Seeks Outside Assistance.
AGENTS ASKED TO DIVERT TRAFFIC
Railway ORciaIs sim Issist That Bust
meas Is NOT Affected In the Slightest
Des1ee By sl'c Strike. ...

An Atlsnta dispatch says: President
Powell, of the Order of Railroad Tel
egraphers, who is conducting the tel
egTspher's strike against the Southern
railway. has officially notified the tick
ct and freight agents Of all Of the
other railroads in tie United States Of
the existing strike on the Southern,
and asked them to route passengers
and freight via other lines than the
Southern pending the present trouble.
he has also asked the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor to boycott the South
crn until the existing troubles are set
tied.
Mr.. Powell deelsfea that his request
to the Federation Of Labor to boycott
the road will put 800, 0O6 werkingmen
against it and that his req1est to the
ticket and freight agents viii prove
more effective than the telegrapbers'
strike.
President Powell has also stationed
''scouts" at q number Of the principal
points on the Southern system 70 keep
him informed a. 10 the progress of
events; to hesrten and encourage the
strikers and to enlist the sympathy
and good will Of the citizens Il the
various points at which these ''scOuts"
are stationed.
The tsleeraphers say that the law
forbidding the movement Of freight
trains in Georgia between midnight
Saturday and midnight Sunday will
prove of material benefit to them.
From a local standpoint the boycott
declared by President Powell was the
only development in the strike sitaa-
ton.
Southern railway officials say that
the business Of the road is not affected
in the slightest degree, and that they
have no personal knowledge of the ex-
istencs Of q strike save the reports IN
the daily papers. They say that 80
far as the road is concerned the strike
is over and they are as busy Is can be
carrying passengers and freight.
At Assistant General Superintendent
Thompson's Office it was said that nu-
merous applications were being re-
ceived daily for positions as operators
and agents from competent, ezpe-
rienced men. =,
None Of the Southern officials sp-
pear disturbed or alarmed over the
situation. They declare that not only
all passenger trains, but all freight
trsins are running on their usual
schedules and on time.
