INSURANCE REPLY
 TELLS NOTHING
SECRETARY FLEMING OF SOUTH EASTERN TARIFF ASSOCIATION SAYS NOTHING IN HIS LETTER ABOUT DISCRIMINATION.

A reply has been received by R. Me- Connell & Go. to the letter written by them to Secretary Fleming of the South eastern Tariff Association, asking why this city should have a higher insurance rate than other cities.
 MT. Fleming fights shy of the real ques- ton, which was in regard to the 10 per cent which Birmingham pays, and which other cities are said not to pay. He states the insurance companies have ordered a raise of 25 per cent east of the Rocky Mountains, and he has carried out the order. He explains that Birmingham and all other places had an increase of 25 per cent, but he fails to answer for the other 10 per cent which makes difference of 121a cents in the rate here.
 The merchants are anxious to know why this discrimination is made against Birmingham and the letter written by R. Mcconnell & Co., to MT. Fleming was to get his reasons. It was sent through the Board of Trade.
 Recently a correspondent of the Age Herald sought an interview with MT. Fleming in Atlanta. This was refused, he stating the matter was one which should be answered by President H. c. Stockdeli who was in New York at the time.

ALL ABOUT A $2o NOTE.
Aaron Burr Bound Over to Await the
 Grand Jury's Action.'

Aaron Burr, not the New Jersey poll tician and one time Vice President of the United States, but a dark colored gentle man, is now reposing in his new mansion the Jefferson County jail, awaiting his time to be given a hearing before the grand jury.
 Aaron may be a politician and schemer but he failed to show it this time. He is accused of stealing $20 in such a bunglesome manner that the cir cumstantial evidence is all against him and warranted Justice of the Peace Ben ners in binding him over to the tune of $3O0.
 1t Is claimed that Aaron took a s20 bill from the trunk of E. P. Ward negro of Brookside Burr knew where Ward kept his money. was seen to come out of Wards house just before the money was missed and was in saloon after wards buying drinks for which he paid with a $20 bill He also indulged in a little bragging to a friend about the amount of money he possessed, showing a bill. It may cost him several months in jail.

CRIPPLE SAYS HE
 WILL LEAVE TOWN
THE FIRST VICTIM OF CRUSADE AGAINST MENDIcANTs AND FA- KlRs CARRIED BEFORE JUDGE FEAGIN-ALL WARNED.

Fl. T. Austin, one cripple among the many, who have obstructed the streets of Birmingham for some time begging aims from the passers by, was yesterday arrested and when carried before Judge Fsagin was released until today, under promise that he would depart for other fields
 He claims Atlanta as his home, as do unmber of other beggars who infest the streets of Birmingham. Complaints have been made against him, as well as the others, to Chief Austin and he has insti- tuted a crusade All street fakirs and cripples are warned to keep off the streets in the business portion of the city, under penalty of a fine and imprisonment Chlet Austin said yesterday:
 Birmingham has the reputation all over the country of having the most gen. erous hearted people. She always cares for the needs of her own poor and crip- pied, but I object to the crippled and professional beggars of other cities be- ing dumped on Birmingham to be sup ported by the good people here.
 Recently one of the professionals left Birmingham with ovef $500 of the peo- ple's money he had begged in three weeks
 Another set that must clear out are the supposed deaf and dumb. I caught three of them holding a conversation several days ago and gave them orders to leave town They are fakirs of the worst vari- sty and are guilty Of obtaining money un- fer false pretenses'

It Is proper to add that at the date Of this report the output of iron has been increased until it is now at the rate or over 100000 tons per annum with five fur naces in blast with two additional TUT nuces to be blown in within sixty days.
 In order to produce a sufficient amount of raw materials to supply all or our furnaces and to have a reserve and sur plus for emergencies. the following better ments are essential, both from an eco homie standpoint and in order to guaran- tee operations in face of bad weather. railway disasters, strikes or other con tingencies:
 Flat top mine development, including prison, washers. coke ovens houses to accommodate coke, organization, etc.
 Brown ore; developing mines, washers. houses. etc., to supply Birmingham dis trict furnaces. Further contemplated de- velopments at Russellville to fully sup ply Sheffield district and, in part, Birm- ingham district furnaces.
 Limestone; to purchase and develop quarry, including houses. etc., to supply the Sheffield district furnaces with lime- stone. To develop Whitney quarry, in- cludiny houses, etc, to supply the Birm-

struct the streets. They know this, and know they can be removed if they do.
 Last fall there was some agitation on this question and the city quit issuing these licenses for time. After while the street vendors returned and began to do business on the streets They con- tinued for some time and not being dis turbed the city thought they might as well get some revenue from them, and was instructed by the chairman of tho finance committee to resume the issuing of licenses.
 These licenses are issued under vari- ous provisions of the annual license ordi- nance. Many are issued under sections 333 and 334, which read as follows:

A very high grade of cement. for which there Is sale, can be and is being manufactured in this district from lime slag and this cement is of such superior quality that natural cements made at Louisville and Fort Scott, which are used almost exclusively, cannot compete with it and would be driven from the South ern market if enough could be made to supply the demand)

The outputs of pig iron, coal, coke. red ore and dolomite were very materially re- duced, due for the most part to the fact that during the summer months when there was little demand for domestic coal and coke, three of the Birmingham dis trict furnaces were out of blast at one time for a brief period and two of them for quite a prolonged period. This also had the effect of increasing in a marked degree the cost of producing raw mate- rials. The output of coal and coke has also been greatly reduced by the almost continuous car shortage which has pre- vailed during large portion of the year.

Unique Way of Getting Whisky.

A negro man has been obtaining quart bottles of whisky under false pretenses. Whenever he gets dry he goes to a whisky store and presents a note to which he has forged the name of MT. Anderson, clerk in Drennen & Co.'S store. He gets the whisky and goes on his way rejoicing. Several times he has done this successfully and he has ob- tained number of bottles. He has not been caught.

There can be no ques- tton as to this, and the Chief of Police has the right to remove any obstruction, even an individual who refuses to move when obstructing the street.
