--------------------------- JOHN SHERIDAN ARRESTED.
Accused of Having Stolen $500 fro n
 Havana Postoffice.

Havana, January 20.-John Sheridan, who has been in charge of the money order de- partment of the Havana post office, was arrested today and formally accused of the theft of $500 sent from the postmaster at Guantanamo, December 6, $6,235 in cash and $65 in checks. He has confessed his guilt and admits having destroyed the checks.
 Sheridan was appointed from the Boston post office on the organization of the service in Cuba. He was made postmaster at Matanzas. About a year ago he was placed at the head of the money order de- partment at Havana with a salary of 5000. He seemed a trustworthy man and the au- thorities considered the expedency of ap- pointing him postmaster at the time form CT Postmaster Thomas was removed. An investment of $1,SO0 in stocks in Boston first attracted attention to Sheridan. Now the officer offers to refund what he has taken

CAMPBELL BREAKING DOWN
Verdict in the Bossischeter Case Has
 Caused the Collapse.

New York, January 20-Andrew Campbell, one of the convicted murderers of Jennie Bossischeter, Is slowly breaking down in the county jail at Paterson. N. J., his face showing unmistakable signs of collapse since the verdict of the jury was delivered adjudging him guilty of murder in the sec- ond degree, with McAllister and Death. Campbell is suffering from a great disap- polntment in not being set at liberty.
 Campbell from the first thought the jury would let him out with a lighter verdict than any of the others and he was much excited the night of the verdict.
 While the people of Paterson generally think the men fortunate in escaping the gallows, the prisoners pretend to say that never did they entertain the slightest idea of being convicted of murder in the first degree.

C.. to Att lanta Ga., and was placed in charge of the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line, which position he held until September 1, 1894, when the Southern was formed, the latter taking charge of the old Richmond and Danville and the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. He was then made general roadmaster of the eastern system On April 20, 1895, he was made general roadmaster of the entire system. The system was di- vided into three districts on July l, 1S97 and MT Dodson was made superintendent of track, bridges and buildings of the east ern system with headquarters in Wash ington. He held this position until July 1, 1899, when he succeeded J. H.

TEN NEW FREIGHT
 ENGINES ORDERED Business of the L. & N. in This District Continues to Grow THE NEED WAS PRESSING Engineers from Other Divisions Trans ferred Here-Other Roads Are Be- ing Taxed to Their Capacity.
 Immense Tonnage.
THE NEED WAS PRESSING

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company has ordered ten new locomotives for the Birmingham division to be used on the freight trains. Recently several en- gineers from other divisions of the road have been transferred to Birmingham and run out of this city to either Montgomery or Decatur.
 The freight business of the Louisville and Nashville has grown so large that 1t Is almost physical mpossibility to handle 1t with the present motive power, and the train crews are doubling up almost every day. The additional ten engines will re- lieve the situation considerably and enable the company to handle the business given it with more promptness.
 All of the railroads in this district are doing an immense business, the heaviest, in fact in the history of Alabama railroads.

The above is a striking likeness of John A. Dodson, general superintendent of the western district of the Southern Railway, with office in Chattanooga, Tenn. MT. Dod- son has been in active railroad service since he was 19 years of age, and has grad ually risen from brakeman to general su- perintendent. He was born in Guilford County North Carolina, August 20, /1S51, and in 1872 entered the service of the Rich mond and Danville, taking a position in the local freight office at his home. Not caring specially for office work, in 1873 he went on the road as brakeman. After six months service brakeman and baggage master he was made a conductor on To- cal freight train, and served for six years, after which he ran as conductor on a pas senger train for five years. In 1883 he was taken off the passenger train and made track superintendtnt between Charlotte, N. C., and Danville, Va. In April, 1888, he went with the Georgia, Carolina and North ern as roadmaster which position he held until October 1 of the same year, when the completed portion of the line was leased to the Seaboard Air Line. He was then made superintendent of the lessee company as well as the construction company.

J. c. Mabin of SIoss Company
 ContempIateS Such a Move
SAYS HE LIKES BIRMINGHAM
Holds Large Interests in the District. Talks of the Plans of the Com pany-A Steel Mill Will be
 Built.

J. c. Mabin of New York, member of the executive committee of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company and one of the largest stockholders in the company, will probably become a citizen of Birmingham. He will, at least, spend a good portion of each year in this city, and is now strongly inclined to make this his home.
 MT. Mabin has been in Birmingham the past five or six days Investigating the books of the Sloss-Sheffield Company and looking over the properties of that com pany. Since his arrival here he has indi' cated to several of his friends that he would probably remove his residence from New York to Birmingham Replying to an Age-Herald reporters questions last night, MT. Mabin stated that he liked Birming- ham very much-he liked the climate, the country and the people, and that as he had large interests here he would spend the greater part of his time in Birmingham and probably would establish his residence here He said that Mrs. Mabin was very anxious to remove to this city, and that as they had son who was now in the city he thought it probable they would do so.
 Young MT. Mabin Is mining engineer for the SlOSS-SHeIIlelu oleel dHu lTOu COH- pany at Blossburg. He is a graduate of Columbia Collegt, New York, and came south a short time ago to take this position with the Sloss-Sheffield Company.
 Will Go to Walker County.
 MT. Mabin will go to Walker County to- day and from there to Sheffield, where the company has furnace properties. He will be accompanied by E. o. Hopkins, presi dent of the Sloss-S Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, and J. S. B. Thompson, general agent of the Southern Railway. They will spend three or four days looking over the properties in that section before returning to Birmingham.
 MT. Mabin stated last night that num- Der of new mines were to be opened on the lands purchased by the company last win ter, and that large number of coke ovens would be built Both ore and coal mines will be opened, the ore mines on the Rus sellville properties and the coal mines in Walker County, along Baker creek. The Ensley Southern Railroad Company is now

building a line into the Baker creek dig. trict for the purpose of furnishing trans- portation facilities for the production of the coal mines.
 The Steel Mill.
 Mir. Mabin stated that nothing definite had yet been decided upon the question of building a steel mill further than that one was to be built by the company. The stock for this purpose is being held in the treas ury of the company, and as soon as the company gets all of Its other properties in good working order and the new ore and coal mines opened and coke ovens built. the question of a steel mill will be taken up.
 The steel mill, when built, he said would not only make billets and ingots, but 1t would be equipped to make steel rails, structural steel and other steel products
