The Immune Infantry

There were also ten regiments of im- mune infantry, of whose colonels eight were graduates of the military academy who were selected for special fitness to command and in the short time these regi- ments were in service they developed re- markable proficiency. Criticism as to the amounts and methods af expenditures which could imply the wrong of careless use of money were also made by the Lon don Times. This charge is false. So far as the conduct of the service was con- cerned no person with any knowledge of the facts can ever charge truthfully, and no one can ever show that dollar was misappropriated or stoen or embedded out of the hundreds of millions of dollars that were expended. The records are an open book and I will be glad to have them rig idly examined and I ask my successor to open these accounts to the country with properly called for to show the truth.

Property of Great value

The property that was sold yesterday Is of great value at the moment and of enor- nous prospective value. There are in 1t seven miles of passenger service and 9 miles of ''Belt' line, touching every im- portant industrial establishment in Blr- mingham, and having free access to the main passenger station in this city. It is said that one railroad company offered the late H. M. Caldwell a million dollars for the property. That Is probably an exag- geration, but the property sold yesterday at a figure probably far below its real value.

the line went into the hands of Re-
ceivers Harmon and Robinson a large
quantity of material was purchased.
This will be Immediately delivered
and used to the best advantage. Forty
thousand tons of S5-pound steel rails
have been purchased, and enough will
be on hand on March LIST to enable
the Receivers to begin laying it at
five different points on the line. Each
mile of track will be carefully rebal-
lasted and placed in 1rst-class condi-
ton 1t will take 101 900 pairs of con-
tinuous rail joints for the forty thou
sand tons of rail. The two thousand
standard box cars and five hundred
steel coal cars recently ordered will be
delivered in March. Additional motive
power, in the shape of forty compound
freight engines, weighing $4,000
pounds, and five ten-wheel compound
passenger engines, weighing 5000
pounds, is now being built by the Bald
win Locomotive Works. 1t is expected
that by the time the property is re-
