For some time the Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern railway compa-
ny has been experimenting with the
crude oil for kindling fires in loco
motives, in place of using cord wood
and the results obtained have been
so satisfactory that it will hereaf-
ter be used on the whole line. Dur
ing the month of November, 1887,
at the company's shops, which are
located at Washington, Indiana,
and Chillicothe, Ohio, l,226 fires
were started with crude oil at a
cost of S1732, or 1.4l cents per fire.
To have started the same number
Of fires with wood the cost would
have cost $4,000, or 2496 cents
per fire. This represents a saving
of S288.68, and is very satisfactory

THE ROBBERS NOT YET CAPTURED Posse From Meridian Hot on the Trail of the Brigands. SEVERAL MASKS FOUND
 j Interesting Account of the HOld-Up Given by Mr. Barbour, the Baggage Agent of the Train-The Passengers
 Grew Hystercal.
 
SEVERAL MASKS FOUND.

Up to the time The Age-Herald went tj press nothing had been heard in the local offices of the Alabama Great Southern rail- road or the Southern Express company as to the capture of the five train robbers who held up the southbound passenger train on
 This much was heard, however, that the posse from Meridian, with the aid of, hounds. traced the brigands off from the railroad for about a mile, where they found. thrown away. After that the trail led back to the railroad, and when last heard from the posse was still following them down the track. .4agsrs, E, E s L.. Barbour, the baggage agent of the train, which was robbed. passed through Birmingham yesterday and gave a very interesting account of the affair to an Age- Herald reporter.
 ''When the train came to stop" said he, 'T went to the door of the baggage car. which has glass panes in it. to see what was the matter. There I saw the engineer
 
 i've masked men. They immediately de- manded admittance to the car, and accom-. panied their demands by pistol shot which passed through the door within three inches of my head. shattering glass all over me.
 'I didn't loose much time opening the door after that, but before I had done so, Dwight Nicklin, the express messenger. had, with great presence of mind, taken bull Nfx, f1a1I safe in the car and stuffed them through the stove into the stove pipe. Fortunately the big safe was locked with a combina- tion which he did not know. This left only about $500 worth of valuables, as near as I know, in the little safe
 ONLY ONE MAN CAME IN. !
 When the car door was opened only one of the masked men got in, some of the party standing at the door and others keeping watch on the passenger coaches. It didn't take the fellow on the inside very long to finish his job, and in a compara- lively short time the gang withdrew
 Conductor Martin Ford, who was in charge of the train, says that nobody in his department was armed, and that he didn't rush forward to fight off the rob- bers with his fists. If the men in the ex- press car who were fully armed couldn't hold them off. he couldn't help them.
 ''As soon as heard we were held up," said he, "I sent my fiagman back to warn any train that might approachc us in the rear, as did not know how long we would be kept standing there. I spent my time in quieting the passengers, some of whom, when they heard that the train was being robbed, began to grow historical. I com- forted all of them as best could, assur- ing them that the robbers were confining their operations to the forward part of the train, and that they were in no danger. I was extremely glad, however, when the train began to move and we were again on our waN to Meridian"

sks as 
Negro Troops for cuba

From the Anniston Hot Blast.
 The negro is i2 per cent. of the popula- tion. He is citizen "equal before the law" He makes a good soldier, as a test of thirty-five years demonstrates. It IS the duty of the government to give him a proportional share of the military ser vice, and the officer who would refuse to command colred troops would show his un- fitness French officers fall over each other to get places in the French-African contingent. It has come to be understood, in our army, that negro commands are most highly prized, for several reasons.s
 But however these collateral issues may be loked at, the policy of the government is fixed upon giving of the negro propor- tional share of the military duty. He will be called on to defend his country's honor, whose laws protect his person. his liberty, his poreptry. just as other citizens are, and that is the whole story. General Lee, as the sensible man and fine soldier he is treats this as matter of course, and when he joins the official force of the army he agrees to command any troops he is set over by his superiors.

 Section Ol the State. THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN D.. rr-a
Portions Are Slow in Sending Forward
 Their Quota Oi the Soldiers.
ANOTHER CALL FOR RECRUITS
Col. Higdon Makes a Final Request for Fifty More Men-Religious Services Con ducted by Chaplain fitzsimmons
 Brown Spoke to Regulars
speeIal to The Age-Herald.

Mobile, May 15.-The announcement that the Second regiment Alabama volunteers will come from Tuscaloosa. is creating much comment among the officers and men of the First. This will make fourteen com panies North Alabama has furnished, be- sides having had four hundred men here who were rejected. Whats the matter with central and south Alabama they ask ? Is the Birmingham district to furnish the states quota?
 Of course the First regiment are proud of their section of state coming up so handsomely, but they think the other sec tions should be heard from.
 We may need a lot of fellows to fill up our ranks when we get to Cuba, and don't want our territory drawn on any more at present." was the way one officer put it.
 CALL FOR 50 RECRUITS.
 Colonel Higdon makes final call through The Age-Herald for fifty recruits. They are requested to respond not later than Monday night, since the probabilities are that the first will have passed muster with a full quota Tuesday. Forty recruits who read the coloneTs call in The Age-Herald reported for duty at Camp Clark today.
 This afternoon Chaplain Ftzsmmons conducted religious services, the volunteers of both regiments attending. His subject was, Fidelity and Its Rewards" and the chaplain admonished the boys not to covet honors through pulls but to work hard and merit them.
 Tonight James Bowron, of Birmingham, under the auspices of the Young Mems Christian Association earnestly and elo- quently addressed three thousand regulars at General Coppingers camp.
 The arrival tonight of a party of officers from the Eighteenth and Twenty-thrd in- fantry, stationed at New Orleans, to put in week here standing examination for pro- motion, is another indication that no army movement on Cuba is contemplated this week, else the officers would not have left their commands.

HAS ABIDING FAITH
In the Future of Birmingham-A Real Estate
 Owners Views.

The war scare has in no wise affected the real estate market.
 Birmingham dirt does not go begging on the market as is evidenced by the follow ing correspondence, which took place be- tween a prominent real estate agent of this city and nonresident property owner who resides in Louisiana. The gentleman in question owns several pieces of improved and unimproved property in this city, and his agent in charge of the property was approached by. buyers who asked Tor prices. The agent immediately wrote for prices on the property and received the following reply: "I have no desire to oner any of my property for sale at this time I have always had an abiding faith Tn the future of Birmingham and would prefer to buy rather than sell"

Sixteen Left Yesterday for Mo- biIe-More or Them
 Today.

Sixteen more recruits went down to Mo- bile yesterday afternoon to join the First regiment at Camp Clark. It seems that Birmingham can never get enough and as long as there is call for volunteers, just so long they will continue to go down from Birmingham and from North Alabama.
 As mentioned in yesterdays Age-Herald the following went down yesterday morn- ing at o'clock: John H. Johnson, J. M. Hodo, D. P. Tankersley, and z. B. Gam ble, all of Alexander City.
 In the afternoon twelve went down as follows: Will Steele. Columbus Johnson. S. D. Watkins, c. H. Bluens, Joe Gibb, F. L. Beatty, E. Woolf, Lawrence Smith, Au- gust F'nls, Jasper Stocks, w. D.

 The names of another large squad have been obtained and they will go down this afternoon.
