RAILROAD MEN
Will Take Part in Bessemer Municipal
 Campaign

The railroad men will take an active part In the Bessemer municipal campaign, which is now on, and will probably support Huey, the democratic nominee.
 Railroad Mems Political Club No. was organized in that place last night by Presi- dent w. c. Radford of the Birmingham club, and forty members enrolled. An en- thusiasuc address was made by MT. Rad ford, which was as enthusiastically re- ceived and vote of thanks rendered him by the meeting.
 Temporary officers were elected until Fri day night, when permanent organization will be effected. It is expected that the membership will be increased to fully one hundred by that time. The club, like it's sister organizations will take hand in all political contests, and promises to become a power in Bessemer, where party lines are closely drawn.

WAS ROBBINC THE
 GOVERNMENT
Thief Accidentally Caught in the Act of Trjing to Open a Barrel of
 Whiskey

Will Walker, colored. was arrested early Sunday morning charged with robbing the government warehouse, which is located on the second floor of the Federal build ing, corner Second avenue and Eighteenth street.
 The warehouse is the depository for all liquors cigars, tobaccos and other goods seized by the revenue agents in this state, and considerable quantities of these goods are constantly on hand Recently cigars and other articles have been missed and while an effort was made to catch the thief, nothing came of it until Sunday, when the culprit was caught in the act by mere accident
 Henry Draper, the regular watchman, had occasion to leave the building early Sunday morning and asked Walker to look out for him during his absence. Draper came down stairs, but after thinking few minutes. decided that it would be best for him to return to his post and not to entrust the duty to Walker. He returned to the second floor. but could see nothing of Walker, whom he had left in charge a few minutes before. He began to look around and attracted by a noise which came from the warehouse as if some one was hammering. He cautiously ap- preached the door. and peeping through the key-hole he saw Walker astraddle a barrel of whisky, vigorously trying to re- move the bung with an iron nail butler.
 Major Townsend, another employe, was sent for an officer and returned with Off, ficer veitch about the same time that Col lector Bingham, who was going to Mobile, arrived at the building. The collector in- structed the officer to arrest the negro, but when the door was opened the negro had disappeared. having escaped through a door leading into the office of the secret service agent and thence by leaping from a window to the shed over the rear en- trance to the postoffice.
 Draper and Townsend, accompanied by Officer Vetch, started out in pursuit of the negro and overlook him in Second alley near Sixteenth stre t, and placed him under arrest He was then taken to the city prison and locked up on the charge of robbery.
 Entrance was effected to the warehouse by means of the transom which was found open, a small screw having been worked out of place giving free access to the room. Tho transom sill was found to be considerably worn, indicating that numer- ous trips had been made over it in going fin and coming out of the warehouse. There was other evidence of robbery and 1t IS believed that considerable quantities of goods have been taken from time to time. Walker has been employed around the government building for some months, assisting the regular laborers<in cleaning up the building and is said to have had an opportunity to do the work
 The prisoner was turned over to the United States authorities yesterday on a warrant issued by United States Commis- sioner Cornish and was transferred to the county jail.

BURGLARS
 USE CHLORIFORM
Residence of B. H. Richardson
 Entered Saturday Night.
FAMILY SLEPT VERY SOUND
And on Awakening Were Attacked With Vomiting Spells Nothing of Value Was Missing Bur
 glars Entered Window

The residence of B. II. Richardson, gen. eral agent of the Prudential Insurance company, No. 2006 Eighth avenue, was entered by burglars early Sunday morning and from the physical condition in which Mir. Richardson and the members of his family found themselves on awaking Sun day morning there Is every reason to be- lieve that chloroform was used by the bur glars. who were evidently of the profess sional class.
 MT. Richardsons family consists of him- self, wife, three children and his mother in-law. Mrs. Howard, who occupies a room adjoining Mr. and Mrs Richardson's bed room with the oldest child. The family re- tired as usual on Saturday night and that everything was all right up to o'clock is evidenced by the fact that one of the ehil- dren awoke at that hour, but soon went back to sleep.
 Noticed a Strange Feeling
 Mrs. Howard, tho mother of Mrs. Rich- ardson, Is an early riser but on Sunday morning did not wake until the servant came to the door to get in. Mrs. Howard noticed a strange feeling and immediately awakened the other members Of the famlly' who were similarly affected. They were at first greatly alarmed but the discovery that burglars had been in the house made them forget temporarily their physical all- ments.
 When MT. Richardson got up to dress he found that his trousers were missing ana on searching around found them in the hall with the pockets turned. A hasty ex- animation of the premises disclosed the fact that the slats had been cut In the blinds to the dining room window, which was open.
 The only articles missing from the house was Mrs. Richardsons pocketbook which had been left on the dresser and which contained only a few cents in change and a bill book from MT. Richardson's coat pocket containing nothing but insurance papers.
 pistol and razor on the mantelpiece and the family silverware which had been negligently left on the dining room table were not disturbed.
 Il With Vomiting Spells
 After the excitement of the startling dis covery was over the family was again taken i'll with vomiting spells which kept up during the day and MT. Richardson, who came down town, was compelled to seek doctor for relief.
 It is believed that the burglars were were after, as the ordinary negro burglar would have taken everything in sight
 The burglary was reported to the police.

Vanderbilt in Blast

The Vanderbilt furnace. near East Bir- mingham, was put in operation yesterday morning by the Tutwller Coal Coke and Iron company, and will in the future con- tinue its career as an iron maker; a career which was begun early in the nineties, but which was abruptly terminated for a long period of seven or eight years.
 The blowing in of the little furnace yes- terday-its capacity Is slightly over hum dren tons-was a very propltious one. It's fires were kindled by two of Birmingham's $ fairest young women, Miss Hattie Tutwiler. daughter of the president of the Tutwiler company. and Miss Marie Nelson. There were a number of spectators present to wish the furnace every success.
 The furnace begins operations entirely free of contracts made when iron was low, and consequently nearly all of it's iron will bring at least $15 per ton.

The Latest from Manila.

The latest reports from Manila, but
they are unconfrmed however, are TO
the effect that Aguinaldo is ready to
give up and quit the field as fighter.
II Is also said that his messengers are
on the way TO Manila TO confer with
Gen'l Otis to accept the terms OF sur
render demanded by him.
But while the messengers OF peace
are on the road Generals Macarthur
and Lawton are crowding the enemy
in their front and are driving him back
from trench to trench TO the 'last
ditch An organized army could not
stand the defeats Aguinaldo's insurrec-
tionists have met with and hold to-
gether, but with his mob a victory
would be as demoralizing as defeat,
and possibly more so IL it were given
an opportunity TO loot an encampment
or plumber a town.
We trust that the reports OF surren-
der are true and that final peace 10 as
sured.
