GEORGE KlRKE
Is Carried Back to Georgia, Where a Life Sen
tence Awaits Him.
George Kirke, a white man of DeKalb
county, who was convicted in the United
States court here a couple of years back for
Illicit distilling in the northern part of the
state, and was given a sentence in the
King's county penitentiary at Brooklyn, N.
Y.. served out his time on Saturday.
He was not given his liberty, however, for
jt w'as ascertained that he was an escape
from a farm in Georgia, where he was serv
ing a life-time sentence for the murder of a
negro. An officer from Georgia was at the
penitentiary in New York when Kirke had
finished his sentence for the violation of the
revenue laws in this state and he was turn
ed over to him. The necessary papers wrere
bad for his removal from New York state to
Georgia, and the officer left with his prison
er at once, arriving in Georgia on Monday.
Kirke is well known by the officers and
many citizens of DeKalb county, Alabama.
He fs now' quite an old man.
It w’as in 1884 that Kirke was sentenced
to the penitentiary in Georgia for life for
killing a negro. He protested his innocence I
of the crime, but there was strong circum
stantial evidence against him and he was
given the lift? sentence. It was considered
by many as a compromise. Kirke only
served about two years w'hen he escaped
ami went direct to Sand mountain, in De
Kalb county. He had nothing to do, ac
cording to his own story, and took up with
a number of the denizens of the fast moun
tain regions and went to whisky making.
He watt reported by some of his fellow’s and
.he officers made a raid on his outfit and
captured him. He was brought to Birming
ham and given a trial and sentenced to a
term in King’s county penitentiary.
While in the federal prison in New York
be made a confidant of a fellow prisoner
nnd told him of his escape from the Georgia
farm. For the second time his friends gave
him .away and word was sent to the Georgia
authorities, and they took advantage of the
informaiton, secured the proper papers, and
w'hen lie w’as told that .his sentence for the
government was over an officer from
Georgia was present and put him under ar
rest again for the escape. He had nothing
to do but to take the arrest quietly, and on
the first train south the officer and his pris
oner came. .
Kirke is now In the penitentiary in Geor
gia. It is not likely that he will make his
escape again. IIo is getting old and his hair
turning gray.

RIOT AND DESTRUCTION
Marked the Opening Day of the Philadel
phia Street Car Strike.
Philadelphia, Dec. 17.—Riot and de
struction marked the opening day of the
great strike of the street car employes
of the Union Traction company. Aided
by the mischievous, lawless element, the
strikers succeeded in completely tieing
up the lines of the Union Traction com
pany, and tonight, with the exception of
the one line not controlled by the com
pany involved in the strike, not a street
car wheel is turning in Philadelphia.
Never In the history of the city has therd
been witnessed such widespread scenes
of disorder as were enacted tonight. To
the credit of the strikers it may bo said
that the disorders were created by too
ardent sympathizers and mischievous
boys.

SENATE COMMITTEES.
There Was Not a Dissenting Vote on the Re
port of the Committee in the Repub
lican Caucus.
_•_
Washington, Dec. 17.—The republicans
of the senate in caucus this afternoon
adopted the report of the committee ap
pointed to fill the vacancies in the senate.
There was not a dissenting vote. There
are sixty committees in the senate. Of
these forty-three have been given to re
publicans, six to populists and eleven to
democrats. Each vacancy was filled,
seven places being assigned to some sen
ators and six to others, with the under
standing that Utah will send two sen
ators, and should a republican be admit
ted from Delaware places could then be
made for these senators by resignation
on tile part of senators having an excess
of assignments.
The commltteee agreed on every mat
ter that came before, but on the proposi
tions. to-wit. to change the name of the
select committee to inquire into all
claims of citizens of the United States
against the government of Nicaragua,
to select a committee on the Nicaragua

proposed to Increase the committee from
five to seven and give the minority the
chairmanship and the republicans four
members. This would make Senator
Morgan chairman and throw to this com
mittee all of that portion of the foreign
relations committee relating to the canal
heretofore considered by that committee.

McKinley was the man. He was there

WAR TALK AT THE CAPITAL
(Continued From First Pfige.)
Great Britain to submit the boundary
dispute to impartial arbitration and hav
ing been apprised of the refusal of Great
Britain, he very promptly suggests that
congress make an appropriation to pay
the expenses of a commission to be ap
pointed by the executive to make the
necessary investigation and report with
out delay as regards the boundary dis
pute. I admire the firm and positive
course taken by the president and I be
lieve the house of representatives will
support him in his efforts to uphold the
Monroe doctrine and prevent Great Brit
ain from making illegal encroachments
on the territory of Venezuela.
Ex-Speaker Crisp speaking of the mes
sage said: ‘‘I am very much pleased with
it. It is real American doctrine.”
Mr. Wheeler, democrat, of Alabama—
It is a very able, frank, patriotic and
statesmanlike paper; one which will be
approved by the country.
1 Mr. Chilton, democrat, of Texas—It is
i an able and timely declaration of the true
American principle.
; Senator Pugh, democrat, of Alabama—
On this matter democrats and republi
cans come together with one accord. I
am for war and free coinage. The mes
sage certainly^indicates that there will
be war unless England backs down.
Mr. Tillman, democrat, of South Caro
lina—I do not believe there will be any
war. I do not think the United States
ought to go to war with the other great
est English speaking people on the earth.
_
The London Times on the Message.
London, Dec, 17.—Commenting upon
President Cleveland’s message, the Times
tomorrow will say:
“It is impossible to disguise the gravity
of the differences that have arisen be
tween this country and the United
States. The message that President
Cleveland transmitted to congress and
the reception It met from both sides in
the senate give additional importance
to the dispatches that have passed the
state department at Washington and the
foreign office. The details of the bounda
ry dispute with Venezuela are insignifi
cant in comparison with the far-reaching
claim put forward in Mr. Olney's dis
patch and emphasized in Mr. Cleveland's
message.
“Convinced as we are that a rupture
between the two great English speaking
communities would be a calamity not
only to themselves, but to the civilized
world, we are nevertheless driven to the
conclusion that the concessions that this
country is Imperiously summoned to
make are such as no self-respecting na
tion—and, least of all, one ruling an em
pire that has roots in every quarter of
the globe—could possibly submit to.
“We are bound to resist the claims
which the Monroe doctrine has for the
first time been extended to cover, and
to which Mr. Olney has added comments
and Inferences against which an emphat
ic protest must be made.”
The Times refers to the cool assump
tion based upon a distance of ,3000 miles
and continues:
“A power which has command of the
-sea does not regard the 3000 miles of in
tervening ocean as severing it from its
subjects. The American tradition will
not he strengthened by Mr. Olney's claim
of moral superiority on the ground that
self-government is only enjoyed by re
publics. We think we have something
like self-government, even though we
have not yet developed a Tammany Hall,
and we are vain enough to believe that
liberty is more real and healthy In Great
Britain than in Venezuela. These un
necessary aggressive assertions seem to
point to'the possibility that this sudden
movement on the part of the United
States has more to do with party politics
than with diplomacy.
“Much may ne paraoneu in view me
approaching election, which, to a large
extent, explains the union of the republi
cans and democrats in raising a jingo
cry It is to be remembered, moreover,
that a good deal of time must elapse be
fore a commission can be appointed,
and that it will be a still longer time be
fore It can report. It may not come
into existence, Indeed, until the executive
has passed into other hands. In the
meanwhile the sober common sense of
the American people, we should hope,
will condemn the attempt to pick a quar
rel with a friendly power. In any case
our own course Is clear. We must stand
firmly and calmly upon our rights as an
Independent state and, if necessary, take
practical measures to assert them. It
may even be expedient to settle the fron
tier question by drawing a line of our
own Of course there can he no thought
of anything Ipss than the Sehombourg
line allowing the I'nlted States and Ven
ezuela to deal with matters as they
may.” __

THE CARNIVAL SEASON
Has Opened, and the Churches Are Gather
ing in Many Dollars From
the Displays.
The church folks are Industrially raising
funds for their respective churches and in
cidentally affording considerable amuse*
ment to those people who are fond of look
ing at pretty things and enjoying delicious
refreshments.
Three bazaars under the auspices of the
ladies of as many different churches are
now open, and the patronage tidy haw re
ceived so far is very encouraging to those
who got them up. At each is displayed a
collection of beautiful articles both useful
and ornamental, in exchange for which
many shekels will fall in the church ex
chequers. The ladies have worked hard to
make the bazaars successful and they will
not fall in their efforts.
The Methodist Bazaar.
In the vacant store room at the corner of
Fourth avenue and Twentieth street yester
day the ladies of the First Methodist
church opened their bazaar. Quite a num
ber of booths have been fixed up and ate
presided over by attractive young women,
whose sales aggregate many dollars in the
course of a day The booths are filled with
fancy needle tfork and bric-a-brac of all
kinds.
Delightful refreshments are also served
during the day and evening. The bazaar was
visited by several hundred people yesterday
and the ladies in charge are very much
elated over the first day’s success.
Cumberland Presbyterian.
The “Carnival of Days” continues its in
teresting success. Last night the crowds
were immense and the reasonably priced
articles were rapidly being disposed of.
Upon entering the door one is impressed
with the beauty of the scene. The first booth
on the left, in charge of Mrs. Catchings,
consists of fancy work, among which is
probably the finest collection of fancy work
ever seen in tlie city. The work was all
done under the supervision of Mrs. Catch
ings, who has had much training in north
ern and western cities under fine artists.
On the right one is greeted with the pleas
ant odor of “Monsoon tea," which is being
served by the cup, and is so wonderfully
soothing to the tired and unstrung nerves.
Following are booths representing the days
of the week, which are lilted with various
I and beautiful articles. There Is also a gro
cery department, which is well filled with all
that a housekeeper needs, such as flour,lard,
hams, canned meats, fruits and extracts,
which the ladles propose to sell at half
price. An elegant piano adds much to the
pleasure of the occasion.
One of the most successful departments
is the restaurant, where meals are being
served at the popular price of 25 cents.
The Catholic Bazaar.
The second day of the Catholic bazaar
was even more successful than the first
day. The increased attendance was very
perceptible and the receipts increased In
proportion. . , . . ..
The art cabinet that is to be given to the
gentleman receiving the highest number of
votes was on exhibition last night and was
the admiration of all visitors. The contest
Increases In interest and the votes are piling
up rapidly.
Church of the Advent.
The ladies of the Church of the Advent
are arranging a carnival for Friday night,
which will be given at O'Brien’s opera
house. It differs from the other carnivals
and bazaars In that no refreshments will be
served and no articles will be on sale In
stead the business houses of the city will be
represented by some of Birmingham s most
beautiful and attractive young ladies, who
will give an Interesting entertainment.
