RosBER MAKES A HAUL.
Gets Away With sos and Leaves More
Behind.


Selma June 90 .-(Speeial.) -There was a
bold and successful burglary in the heart
of the business portion of the city last
night shortly before midnight. ]. H.
johnson, who has recently opened
baker shop in the Cater store, corner of
Broad and Dallas streets, was the vic
tim.
An entrance was gained to the estab-
lishment by the party climbing on top
of the bake oven in the rear of the store,
which position made 1t easy for him to
push in a transom over the door and
drop in. Mr.. Johnson had gone into the
store in the afternoon and gotten some
money out of the safe to pay his expenses
to Montgomery. He is of the opinion
that he failed to turn the combination on
the door When he returned last night he
found his safe open and the cash drawer
half out.
The thief must have been frightened
away or been in a great hurry for he
took only a bag containing $66 In silver,
leaving in the bottom of the drawer 500
In silver and a roll of five dollars in
nickes. 1t is thought he was in the
store when Mr.. johnson returned about
midnight. The police are at work ON the

SKILLED STEEL
WORKERS ARRIVE
WILL BE EMPLOYED IN THE FIN
IsHING DEPARTMENT OF THE
ENsLEY STEEL RAIL PLANT
AND WILL TEACH OTHERS.

Ensley, June 29.--(Speeial.)A party of
expert steel rail f1nishers reached Ensley
Sunday from Pittsburg. Others will fol-
low Immediately. This party is the first
installment of quite a number of skilled
workmen who will be engaged to take
care of what is known as the finishing
end in the big steel plant.
This department, where the rails are
Strengthened and prepared for shipment,
Is possibly one of the most important
parts of the work of getting steel rail
ready for the market. These experienced
men know all about the work, know how
to use the drills in putting holes through
the rails, how to straighten them, how to
file. smooth the ends. and how also to
load to the best advantage. They come
therefore in the character of teachers,
and their mission will be to train others
in this important work.
Skilled manipulators of steel rails, even
though they do come high. are reckoned
by the management as being the cheapest,
because they can do more work and do 1t
better
The importation of these Pittsburg ex-
pert workmen means that the Tennessee
Coal. Iron and Railroad company is de-
termined to have its products the very
best in every respect

hension on the part of the miners regard
ing a strike
After three hours executive session,
during which the scale question was fully
discussed, a resolution was adopted. ac-
cepting the proposition of the operators as
to the two and a half. cent increase, leav-
Ing the miners demands for semi
monthly pay day, an eight-hour day and
a further advance of 21sc to arbitration.
The meeting was altogether orderly.
Out ON the streets during the day the cur

prolonged trouble about the scale question.
Pratt City, Ensley and Wylam constitute
forty per cent of the miners voting
