NOTHING NEW
In the Investigation of Lirfwood Shropahire's Accounts With
 the Central.

There were no new developments in the Shropshire suicide yesterday. MT. Fow- Ter, auditor of the Central road, was busy all day checking up the books, but de- clined to say whether he had discovered any discrepancies or not. The officials of the road said they would give out nothing at all regarding the matter until the books had been checked from the beginning of MT. shropshire's connection with the local office as cashier until his death.
 It was reported on the streets yesterday that the dead cashier was short in sums ranging from S136 to thousands of dollars. MT. A. H. Stevens, agent of the railroad company, stated to an AGE- HERALD re- porter that there was absolutely no foun- dation for the rumors, as they had given out nothing. However, the reporter was informed by a gentleman who claimed to have good authority for his statement that there was shortage amounting to con- siderable sum.
 MT. Shropshire, it is said by those who knew him best, never iudulged in liquors of any kind except occasionally glass of beer. But it is understood he has been a frequenter of the gaming table recently, and always came out loser.
 His funeral will take place today, after which his remains will be laid away in Oak Hill cemetery.
 Mir. Shropshire was a member of the local lodge of Woodmen of the World and carried 5000 insurance, which will be paid his family. He was one of the charter members of the local lodge.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

CLEVELAND, O., March 6.-The Iron Trade Review will say tomorrow: Whatever doubt existed as to the ability of producers of Lake Superior Bessemer ores to agree upon basis for 1895, both as to price and production, that would prevent a repeti- tion of the sorry experience of last year has been removed. The attitude of steel makers is yet to develop, but whether the large buying is pushed into the navigation sea- son and purchases made meantime from the docks or contracts entered into within thirty or sixty days for years supply on the new price basis the result will be practi- cally the same. The one alternative will clear away stocks, which must be got out of the way, and the price will be the same as on new ore. The advance in Bes- semer pig, resulting from the heavy Pitts burg and valley buying for the past two weeks, means 10 cents more than the low est transactions reported since the first Of the year, 1920 at valley furnaces having been done at the depth of the stump. The market today is difficult of exact state ment, but on prompt shipment the range is fairly SOL to S1U.25, Pittsburg, with sellers unwilling to contract largely for fu- ture deliveries, especially in view of tue coal strike declared this week and the pos abilities of trouble in the coke region.

WILFRED CLARKE IN HIGH GLASS
 COMEDY

High comedy, when thoroughly refined and purely humorous, gives very enJoya- ble evening at the theater for all classes of patrons. 1t is with the assurance of rare enjoyment, therefore, that we note the ap- pearance here at the opera house on the evening of Monday, March Il, of MT. Will fred Clarke and his excellent company.
 Of his performance the Philadelphia In- quirer of May 29 says: "The success with which the closing week of the Girard Ave- nue theater was inaugurated last night made it matter of regret to all that the season was at an end, together with, for a time, the opportunity to enjoy Mir. Wilfred Clarke in his happy creations.
 'sIn A Widow Hunt Mir. Clarke enacts Major De Boots, a character made famous by his talented father. The major repre- sents type of the English officer who, at heart gentle and almost craven, is con : stantly oppressed by the desire to uphold soldierly dignity. The character is ire sistibly funny by reason of the fact that the major is serious in the many ridiculous things he does, and in no way does Mir. Clarke show his artistic sense better than in the air of reserve with which he invests the part. He convused the house because he appeared unconscious of any effort to be funny, and that he succeeded could not be doubted in the fact of the enthusiastic ap- plause that was most lavishlv bestowed.
 s'Praising MT. Clarke is but to add to the credit which is due the other members of the cast, each of whom more than fulfilled every requirement."

CELEBRATED GORDON SETTER KILLED
 WITH BROKEN GLASS.
 CHICAGO, March 6.--Dwight Fife, one of the most valuable Gordon settlers brought to the Mascouta clubs bench show by the Dwight kennels, died yesterday under sus .picious circumstances. Broken glaFs had been given her in her food and she bled in- ternally to death. Dwight Sarah, shipped in the same crate with Fife from Detroit, is also sick in the same way, but will prob. ably recover. She is weak from loss of blood, but notwithstanding that she took first prize yesterday in the Gordon setter puppy class.
 The dog that is dead was valued at S1000, but was not for sale. Just when or where the broken glass was given to the dogs is not known. The man in charge of them says that all left Detroit in good shape, with no signs of sickness in the string. On their arrival in Chicago Monday, however, Fife began to bleed. It is believed tho in tentfon was to kill Dwight Pearl, the one that won first prize in all bench shows and said to be the best in her class in the coun- try. But she was not shipped in the crate that usually carries her. The broken glass was put in the crate marked with her name,

KICKING ON THE UMPIRE.
The ColloqIy That Should and the One That
 Does Take Place.

Among the musty rules for the govern ment of baseball is one which provides that player addressing tho umpire must preface his remarks by respectful MT. Umpire. Those patrons of the national game who fondly imagine that the rules are enforced have doubtless often seen captain stride in the direction of the auto- crat of the diamond with cleaning eye, compressed lips and clinched hands, The player confronts the umpire who stands calmly chewing gum like contemplatiye beifer in a clover patch. The players lips are seen to move he gesticulates wildly, and his attitude is that of an averaging Nemesis Owing to the distance of the two men from the grand stand the speota- tors cannot hear word, but they assume the players remarks are about like this:
 'Mr Umpire, your decision was intol- erably unjust Did Mr. Mulcahy possess as many arms as an octopus, and each one as long as the Brooklyn bridge, he could not have touched MT. Ratigan, who slid like an eel in tub of butter. That de- cision deprives us of a run and may even- tually result in our defeat. MT. Umpire, I am loath to believe that you are preju- diced against the Boomtararas, but the trend of your decisions forces me to that
 
 occasionally acknowledge our presence in the field and in the game protest will be lodged against you.
 During the argument the umpire chews gum with the greatest industry, and when the player pauses to tako breath the um- pire is seen to wave his hand and deliver few remarks, which the spectators pre- sumo arc in this strain: Captain Gilhoo- ly, your strictures on my judgment are uncalled for. I decided Ratigan out be- cause he was not safe. decline to be in timidated by threatened protests, and l insist that you retire to tho bench. "
 Then the game goes on, and the specta- tors breathe easy, but they are ignorant of what really passed between the player and , umpire. As matter of fact, Captain Gil |. hooly spoke as follows:

TEMPERANCE.
An Able Lecture by Rev. Father Daly of Pensacola at St. Paul's la
 Last Night.

The very large congregation assembled at St. Paul's church last evening shows the active interest taken by the Catholic church in the noble cause of temperance. St. Paul's Total Abstinence society attended in body.
 Father Daly began by remarking that temperance is one of the four cardinal vir- tues. He contrasted the fruits of temper ance with the effects of drink. He was par ticularly opposed to those who led young men to drink and thus brought ruin to so many innocent hearts. He showed in many effective terms that the arguments used by tipplers to encourage others to drink were not only baseess and silly, but criminal. In hot weather 'tis take drink to cool off, iu cold weather, to warm up.
 Ia plain and forcible terms was the social theory knocked out. "Why should social forms,'' asked the reverend gentleman, "compel us to accompany others In drink ing beer or whisky when we wish 1t not outselves any more than if we were asked to accept a dose of castor oil because a friend felt indisposed? Nor,' he added, "can it be said that the total abstinence army is recruited from the ranks of drunk ards or cranks. The great and noble Car dinal Manning, whose very presence was where laws and bayonets had failed, en- listed himself under this grand banner of total abstinence, not be- cause he was in need of the restraint thereby imposed on himself, but that his conduct might serve as a brilliant example to lead others from life of sin and shame, and to encourage them in the grand virtue of temperance.
 For oyer an hour the large audience hung spellbound on the words of the reverend lecturef, and we feel sure the ioeas spread abroad by them will bear much. fruit for the cause so ably represented in our midst by St. Paul's Total Abstinence society.
 Rt. Rev. J. O. Sullivan was present in the sanctuary during the sermon.

TWO BOLD MEN
Rob Bank in Daylight, After Shooting Two Men-One Killed.
 The Other in Jail.

DIES MONIES, la, March 6.--The Adel here, was robbed at 9:10'o' 'clock this morn- ing by two men, who mortally wounded the cashier, s. M. Leach, and seriously wounded a customer named Bailey, who was standing at the window when they en- tered. The cashier had just unlocked the. safe and vault, and both Leach and Bailey had their backs to the door when the rob bers entered and opened fire.
 The desperadoes then entered the vault and carried away the entire contents, sup. posed to be $16, ,000, and jumped into buggy at the door and drove west toward Redfield. The entire county was aroused and began pursuit.
 The Adel bank robbers were captured at O'Neal's ford, on kaccoon river. five miles south of Adel. Being hotfy pursued they left their buggy, and one hid ID brush heap, while the other hid in John Kilton's barn. The former WAS quickly captured and compelled to set fire 10 the barn, on which the crowd poured kerosene oil. The robber remained inside until his clothing, hair and whskers were ablaze, and then rushed out, shotgun in hand.
 The mob yelled, "Throw up your hands," He refused, and the voley of a dozen guns riddled his body. An envelope in his pocket was addressed to Landers Wilkers, Patterson, Madison county, la. |, which the other robber says il his true name. Before the mob was awai of it the sheriff had the second robber in buggy and hurried him to Adel jail, where he was locked up.
 The second robber says his name is c. w. Crawford. He is 19 years old. He says threatening to kill him on the spot unless he did

POLICE COMMISSION.
In Regular Session, Adds Four Names to the Pay Roll-Increases
 the Chiefs Salary.

Last night meeting of the police com- mission was held in the office of Garrett d Underwood, with every member present.
 Officer Goggans was tried on charge of conduct unbecoming an officer and found not guilty.
 An election of officers and patrolman was then held and resulted as follows:
 T. 0. Mcdonald, chief; salary S125. w. E. Weir, night captain; salary $s5.
 Fred Macke, desk sergeant; salary $55.
 J. B. Donelson, day sergeant; salary
 The following patrolmen were elected with salaries Of S60 per month:
 W. J. Mcdonald, J. g.. Oldham, w. F. Walton, J. II. Whaley, Martin Eagan, k. George H. Bodeker, H. T. Culpepper, A. A. Gamble, c. B. Devine, A. D. Brown, @. W. Armstrong, w. A. Dlsheroon, J.. N. Byars, P. c. Newman, c. 5. Wilson, F. A. Rogers, Ira Goggans, K. H. Me- Collum, G. w. Kirkley, Joe Nix, N. H.. Erwin and F. L. Brizentine.
 Supernumeraries-J. M. Langston and T. z. Hagood.
 Day warden-James Donnovan.
 Night warden-J. H. Cunningham.
 Patrol driver-J. J. Jones.
 All of these officers were elected for term beginning March l and ending De- cember 31, 1895. The terms of the three last named patrolmen, however, date from the time of taking oath of office and also with the understanding that they reside within the limits of the police jurisdiction of Birmingham.
 It will be seen that three patrolmen and a desk sergeant have been added to the force. which addition is due to the large amount of territory which is covered by police jurisdiction under the new inferior court.
 Moreover, the present indication is that the force will in a short time have to be in : creased on account of the large amount of business that is being done by the inferior court. ~
 The addition is also one that the people of Birmingham are glad to see, for, as it has been, the police department has not been sufficient. The chief of police was also ordered to keep a horse to be used in cases where such is necessary. si
