A CAPTAIN CRENsHAw is now re- ported to have been the victim of neglect and ill treatment on board the transport Sherman while being taken home prostrate from wounds received in the Philippines. The course of treatment continued until he arrived in San Francisco. ln- quiry should be made into this matter and punishment awarded the guilty ip accordance with the crime. It is & shame. that the administra- tion can not ensure some fair treat ment for the men and officers who are fighting it's battles, for the the maintenance of the empire we have seen fit to acquire in the cause of extension and aggrandisement.

THE life of the deputy sheriff or

THE life of the deputy sheriff or the marshal is not an easy one. He carries his life in his hands and any day or night is liable to re- ceive his quietus at the hands of some desperate or drunken Mex ican. The other day Johnson, of Silver City, a brave and active off cer, was shot and killed by cattle rustlers, and lately in this town the officer shot first and only just in time. The community who repose in safety, and see very little of this night police supervision, have every cause to thank the vigilance of those officers for the peace and free dom from crime they enjoy

ROOSEVELT, the candidate for the vice-presidential chair, has written letter in which he states that the virulent attack he made on the democrats at Minneapolis and the epithets he applied to the unhappy members of that party applied only to those who support the last party platform. This is lame excuse, perhaps Teddy thought it better than none, but man is democrat is republican because he believes in the principles enunciated by one or the other of those parties. The principles are supposed to be con tained in the party platform. It is

IT may be good policy for us to withdraw from China, at least from the conquest part of the business, now our citizens are safe. We will then avoid the alliances that are correctly termed entangling, while our commercial policy will be watched by our ships and ensured against aggression by the powers who are now likely to begin the struggle for supremacy in China.

THERE has been no reunion of the G. A. R, of late years but what the gathering of the old warriors has been attended with certain sadness. The grizzled heroes are fast passing away. The men who fought so nobly to preserve the union, and who, this week. marched with feeble, yet gallant, tread through Chicago's applauding thousands, are fast answering to the last roll call.

ED WALLACE, THE CHAMPION
 CHICKEN THIEF OF ALABAMA

Ed Wallace, an old white haired negro who is a familiar character in police cir cles, is the proud possessor of a unique record, which few men will envy him. The old negro, who is just at present "out of jail," hung around police headquarters yesterday until the cook handed him out a snack, which he proceeded to eat as he regaled the loungers around with reminis- cences of his eventful career
 Ed has been in prison so much that he says he doesn't feel at home anywhere else. He says he is SS years old, and has had less freedom than almost any man in the state He was a slave before the war. and was in prison for stealing chickens three months after he was "mancipated," and since that time has been a prisoner off and on with the exception of about twelve years He has served sentences in many different prisons, most of which was for chicken stealing. In fact he claims that as his profession and speaks of it with pride.

STEALING CHECKS
Two Negroes Arrested on a Serious
 Charge

Officers Mcknight and Eagan arrested Ed Leary and Ed Johnson yesterday afternoon for stealing checks from Drennen & Co.'S commissary Ed Leary, who had been trad ing the checks, was first arrested, and de- nied any knowledge about it, but when Ed Johnson was arrested he made a clean breast of it, and owned up to the whole af- fair, and said there was another negro in with them. The third one has not been arrested, but the police are on the lookout for him.
 They had a cleverly organized scheme for obtaining the checks and disposing of them. Ed Johnson was driver for the Drennen commissary and was allowed the privilege of passing in and through the store where he would steal the checks from a drawer and then get his pals to sell them for the cash The checks had previously been signed by the firm, as it was their custom to do for convenience, and that fact was known by Ed Johnson, who proceeded to organize a money brokerage business. It is not known how long the gang had been running this racket, as the firm had no suspicious of the loss until the arrests were. made. Leary had about sl6 on him when arrested.

TWO THOUSAND TONS
 OF IRON FOR EXPORT
Shipment Made Over the Alabama Great Southern Railroad-The Facili-
 ties Are Limited.

Over two thousand tons of export pig iron were shipped from Birmingham by way of the Alabama Great Southern road Thursday night. This is but one of many similar shipments made from this district and of a great many more that could be made if sufficient bottoms in which to transport it across the Atlantic were avail able. Efforts were made day or two ago to place 800 tons in one of the vessels leav- ing a southern port but the best that could be done was to load 250 tons. It is stated on good authority that offerings amount ing to several thousand tons have been made recently, but the carrying capacities of the vessels were insufficient to permit of acceptanceS.

OTHER RAILROADS
Assisted Sloss Company in Repairing
 Damage to Furnaces

While full credit was given the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad for furnish ing timber and bridgemen for the rebuild ing of the trestles burned at the Sloss- Sheffield companys furnaces in yester- days Age-Herald, other roads running into the city rendered all assistance in their power. Speaking of the matter yester- day, General Manager T. H. Aldrich of the Sloss- Sheffield company, said:
 Immediately after the fire Mir. Frazer of the Southern railway volunteered to help us out, and at once ordered in a large part of his division bridge gang. MT. Nell son, MT. Hutchins, and all the heads of departments in MT. Frazers division, not only furnished a large amount of the ma terial and men, but gave personal serv- ices.
 MT. Newbold, superintendent of the Louisville and Nashville, rendered his serv- ices and furnished us fully thirty men off his division of the Louisville and Nash vile, and also a large amount of heavy timbers promptly without request
 Superintendent Wickersham of the Ala bama Great Southern rendered his serv- ices and furnished rails to repair the tres ties. In fact, every railroad running into Birmingham, through the respective of- ficials, offered what assistance was in it's power.
 Tt would have been impossible for us to have repaired the damaged properties and gone to work without great loss of time and money but for the aid rendered by the railroads. The Soss-. Sheffield Steel and Iron company feels under obligations to the gentlemen named and desire to thank them for the same"

Electric Car Off the Track

One of the East Lake electric cars got off the track at the crossing of Second ave- nue and Nineteenth street last night about o'clock. The car was coming down Sec ond avenue, and as it got to the switch on Nineteenth street the rear truck took the switch and the car was pulled off. It took an hour or two to get it back, as it had to be jacked up in order to get the trucks straight under it. Travel was de- layed but little, as passengers were trans ferred.

AT about II o'clock yesterday morn
ing, as the fireman was attending to
his duties at the Ontario, he happened
to glance out of the doorway and was
surprised to see smoke and flames
shooting out of the screen room of the
massive breaker. There was no one
about the place. The fireman quickly
sounded the alarm, and soon people
were hurrying to the breaker. The first
arrivals were company hands and they
quickly made their way to the screen
room and attached a hose and did noble
service in placing the flames under con-
troll. Meanwhile, the Wilson Fire COM
pany had responded to the alarm and
were on hand in case of an emergency.
The breaker had a narrow escape from
destruction. The flames had eaten
their way up the outside of the
breaker for a distance of several feet
and was burning briskly when dscov-
cred. Foreman Simpson stated he was
at loss to account for the fire, as no
one had been in the screen room that
day. The fire seems to have origin
ated on the outside of the structure,
some sixty feet from the ground. As
the wind was blowing hard at the time,
it may have been possible for a spark
to have been blown from the stack at
the fire-room, lodging in a crevice. The
wind was blowing direct from the fire.
