SHERIFF AND POLICEMEN
Both Claiming Credit for a Mur-
 derer's Arrest.
SAMSON REYNOLDS THE MAN
Killing Occurred at DoIomite During Last April, and the Prisoner Says He Shot
 the Negro Accidentally.

Ransom Reynolds. tfa negro who shot another negro named Brady Brown at Dolomite in April last. was arrested on Wednesday night in a house on Ally I. between Twenty-seccnd and Twenty third, by Capt. Donaldson and Patrol men Patton, Culpepper and Disheroon.
 Both tho police department and the sheriff's office claim credit for the capture. Chief Mcdonald is highly elated over the arrest, and says that his force is deserving of all the credit of capturing the negro. after the sheriff's office had unsuccessfulfy worked on the case for six months.
 The police officers say that the negro dlas been in various places in Alabama and Georgia since the killing, and only returned to Birmingham last Sunday night, when he went to a house on Fourteenth street, between Second and Third avenues, whsre he remained until Monday night when he was taken in a hack to the place where he was arrested
 The driver of the hack, according to the policemen, told Patrolman Patton that he had carried suspicious negro. Patton made inquiries at the sf1eriff's office, and was informed that the man might be a negro who killed another at Bessemer about month since. This led to the arrest of the man, who promptly confessed his Identity, whereupon he was turned over to the sheriff.
 tolf He says that warrant was issued for the arrest of Samson Reynolds on April 16, when his crime was discovered, but he had already disappeared. O'Brien sent out his description and only a few days ago learned that the man was un- der the ai,ias of Joe Baxter employed as cook on the gravel train of the Georgia and Alabama railroad.
 This was learned by watching the mails and express offices, and learning his whereabouts when his wife sent him some tobacco. O'Brien communicated at once with the sheriff of Dooley county. Georgia, but meanwhile the negro had obtained a pass and started for home.
 He arrived here Sunday night and was met by his wife with a hack owned by Officer Patton and driven by a negro.
 The negro driver told his police eln- ployer of the "cullud' folks who kept the hack blinds down, so Patton in- quired at the sheriff's office if any ne- gro was wanted.
 The clerk, thinking Reynolds was still in Georgia and about to be arrested there, said the man might be the BesI semer murderer. The arrest was made. and the negro told the officers that he had come back to surrender, as the sheriff had hunted him down till he was tired.
 Meanwhile Samson Reynolds says that he doesn't care who gets the credit for his arrest q dun killed that nigger accidental" he says, "and I'm ready to stand trial and hab done wifi it."

ATLANTA PASSENGERS.
Eight Were Allowed to Enter Birmingham Last
 Night.

Chief Officer Wiggins of the local quarantine force received official notifi- cation last night of the notifications of the quarantine reguia tions against Atlanta, and in consequence instructed his officers to allow Atlantians who have not been in infected districts for ten days to enter the city.
 The Southern train brought in eight passengers from that city. To an Age Herald reporter MT. Wiggins said: we will continue to work the Southern trains as usual to prevent refugees from entering the state by that line. All trains will now be allowed to enter Atlanta instead of being held outside of the city, as under the original quar- antine."
