BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April GA gang
Of armed robbers and a posse of citizens
came in contact near Alfalfa this morn
ing, resulting in the fatal wounding OF
Tom Wilson, one of the posse, and John
Bentley, one of the Gang For some time
an organized band of robbers and burg,
lars have been committing deprcdations
up and down the Alabama & Great
Southern railroad, and only this week
wrecked a passenger train near Spring,
vile, which cost two men their lives. De
tectlves have been on their track. and
last night they were caught burglariZiDg
a store on Sand mOuutain. some miles out
from Alfalfa. 4 posse Of the best citi-
Zens OF the town was at once got together
and went over the mountain in pursuit
They failed to find the gang and we're re-
turning at , . CLOCK in the morning, when
they ran across the robbers at a bridge
owe Wills creek, and in reply to the
order TO surrender the robbers opened
fire and n general engagement ensued.
about 100 shots in all being fired. The
posse continued to close in on them until
the robbers ran. Pursuit resulted in the
capture OF all but two, and one of them,
named John Bentley, was found in a
cabin on a bed dying. Tom Wilson, the
citizen who was MORALLY wourGed, was
an alderman of Alfalfa and car inspector
of the Alabama Great Southern railroad.
1t is impossible as yet to ascertain the
names of all the captured men, but one
of them is Florence Bentley, a brother to
the one killed, and another is named
Llthrow. Accurate descriptions have
been obtained, and hat of two of them
tallies with the description of the TWO
men who recently committed a daring
diamond robbery in this city, by which
they captured about $4,000 worth OF
rings from a jewelry store in the heart oil
town, and while the streets were iull oil
people. The f~avorite occupation of the
gang was burQlarizing railroad stations.
Citizens have been all day securing the
woods for the two that escaped. and an
effort was made to procure bloodhound,
from Birmingham, but it failed. A late
report from Alfalfa says the excitement
is great, and if Wilson dies before the
prisoners are removed a lynching will
almost certainly result.

WASHINGTON, April IA Star re
porter, this afternoon. asked Director of
the Mint Leech for an explanation of the
statement made bv him Saturday, that
there was an available cash balance of
1858, 900, 900 In the treasury. Leech SAID
that he held that the gold and silver GER
t~iicates amounting to s493, 100000 repre-
sents trust money; that is, coin has been
deposited by individuals and the govern
mens has issued certificates to pay back
the same on demand. Possibly the fund
OF 81, 200. 900 placed with the treasury by
the national banks for keeping their cur
rency in good condition is trust money,
but as congress lust ordered the money
placed by national banks for the retire
ment of their circulation to be covered in
to the general balance, it Is difficult to
conceive why this Is any more sacred. The
remainder of the money in the treasury,
some S25S, DOC, 900, Leech holds, belongs
absolutely TO the government. Prior to
1855, he says the available balance in the
treasury was always shown as the
amount of money which actually belongs
to the government. The 800, 900, 900 In
gold purchased by the sale of bonds for
resumption purposes was always included
as a portion OF the available balance prior
to that date, and there is no reason why
it should not be. Nor is there any reason
why legal tender notes issued in purchase
Of silver bullion are any more a current
liability than other greenbacks. They
are OF the same class as legal tender
money They are not silver money as the
people generally suppose. They are issued
in the first place in the purchase of silver
bullion, but as they come back into the
treasury are reissued ioI all purposes.
The fact that the secretary Is
anxious to convert all assets
into the most available form of
money is TO indication that there is any
shortage in the treasury funds. In &C
cor lance with acts of congress-, the trade
dollar bullion inc the subsidiary silver
coins will be recOlned as soon as new de-
slgns are decided on. Whether the
secretary should decide to extend the Al
per cent at the rate OF > per cent. would
simply be a busine 5 proposition as to
whether 1t would be more profitable Tor
the government to use its money in buy
ing bonds bearing 4 per cent. interest at
the current rate. | imagine that the re-
cent order suspending the purchase and
the policy of the secretary regarding the
AIS, arises more from a consideration of
the fall OF the money market than any
present or anticipated lack OF funds.

to the selection OF a jury. The defense
exercised its twenty peremptory chal-
lenges. IL was discovered that one-half
OF the jurors examined had a prejudice
