CHIEF WEIR IS
 AFTER LOAFERS
ISSUES ORDERS TO PATRoLMEN TO CLEAR THE STREETS OF ALL OBJECTIONABLE CHARACTERS, INCLUDING THE WASHER.

An order was issued to Captain John son and Lieutenant Hagood of the police force yesterday morning by Chief Wier, instructing them to order the patrolmen to arrest all persons, white or black, who loaf about on the street corners and around the saloons and dives of various descriptions.
 The order applies especially to the ne- groes who frequent the dives on Eigh- teenth street between Second and Third avenues. A policeman is being kept on that street now with instructions to clean it out and keep it clean
 The order says: Each of you instruct the men to make a war on white and col ored loafers." The object of this Is not only to clean the streets of this class Of beings, but in some measure to prevent much of the petty larceny which goes on in the city. Nearly all of these loafers, according to the police, are capable of committing any crime and many of them do commit crimes in which they cannot be caught.
 The order also refers particularly to the "masher." and this class will be effected by the action of the chief. There are a number of these characters who haunt certain portions of the streets and make themselves objectionable to women who are passing by their remarks and ef- forts to be funny and attract attention.

 Not Believe Him Guilty

The preliminary hearing in the case Of c. II. Winter the railroad contractor charged with holding Nellie Fields, col- ored girl. in involuntary servitude at the grade camp near Brookside, resulted In the holding of the defendant to the United States grand jury in the sum of $S,OOO, by Commissioner H. A. Wilson.
 The testimony on behalf of the govern ment was finished on Wednesday, and an adjournment taken until yesterday morn ing at 10 o'clock, at which time 1t was expected that the defendant would present his side of the case but, by advice of his attorneys, he did not call any wit nesses.
 The hearing was resumed at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and after 1t had been stated on behalf of the defense that no evidence wauld be submitted. the attor- neys in the case argued briefly on the facts, as made out by the government.
 Commissioner Wilson then summed up the evidence and ended by holding Win ter to the Federal grand jury. as stated above The bail bond was signed by D. M. Drennen and F. J. Dunn as sureties.
 The defendant Winter Is apparently about 35 years old, and is said to have been connected with the firm of Dunn Ss Lallande, contractors for several years, as a sub-contractor. Inquiries concern ing his nativity and previous record fail- ed to elicit any information at the office of his firm further than the statement by MT. Dunn that MT. Winter was very nice man and he could not believe him guilty of any such offense as that charged No one else could be found who ever knew Winter

 Arrested Eight Years Ago.
 The first time that Rutherford was ar- rested in Birmingham was eight years ago when Detective Disheroon apprehended him for carrying a concealed weapon. He would have killed the negro at the time had not Policeman Hamilton come to his rescue. Later Detectives Shirley and Cole arrested him for "fllmfiamfning' country negroes with all kinds of fake games. He was arrested again on the 9th of January of this year in Memphis on charge of burglary and grand lar ceny and he was brought here by De- tective Walrop.
 The negro is powerful specimen, being nearly six feet three inches tall and weighing about 1S0 pounds. He has an unusually heavy frame and is muscle all over He always goes armed and has a reputation of being ready to shoot any one who interferes with him. He has never been seen distinctly by any one whose house he has robbed, but there seems to be no doubt as to his guilt as the stuff was found in his house and he has been pawning It.

The six new regular patrolmen are the supernumaries moved up. and the fol- lowing were elected in their places; Thomas Ward. S. s. Powell, c. E. Ray B. F. Carter. W. A. Disheroon and J. H. Ball.
 The new men will be placed in the res idence portions of the city and 1t Is thought that they will aid in decreasing the number of burglaries in those sec tions.

John Rutherford, a negro, was yester- day arrested by Detectives Hamilton, Bo deker and Patton and already there are ten cases of burglary and grand larceny against him, and others will probably be made. The negro is charged with break ing into the houses of some of the most prominent citizens of Birmingham, all of whom live on the South Highlands within a few blocks of each other.
 His depredations have kept all of South Highlands excited for the past three or four weeks, and he has stolen something in the neighborhood of s1,OOO worth of goods.
 Caught at Pawnbroker's.
 Rutherford was caught yesterday morn ing by Detective Hamilton at Hirsoh's pawn shop on Eighteenth streeth between First and Seeenod avenue, where he has been pawning goods for some time. The detectives have been watching this place for the past four days, one of them being on duty there all the time. Yesterday morning about II o'clock he went to the pawn shop and Detective Hamilton found him there.
 The negro resisted and finally the po- liceman had to draw his pistol and threaten to shoot. The negro still re- sisted and Hamilton was just preparing to pull the trigger when Ex-Deteetlve Disheroon ran up and together the offi- cers overpowered the negro without hav- ing to shoot him. They were however compelled to beat him over the head sev- eral times with the butt of a pistol be- fore he would go to jail.
 The negro is probably the most noted one who has ever been arrested here. He is wanted in Chicago for murder. in Evansville, Ind, for two charges of bur- glary and grand larceny, and in Memphis for burglary and grand larcey. He es- capped from the mines about six months ago, and has been arrested twice here in the past on serious charges When he escaped he was serving a six years sen tence In the mines. He Is an all round crook and one of the worst negroes who the Birmingham police have to deal with
 Goods Recovered.
 A large portion of the goods which the negro has stolen have been recovered and identified by the people from whom 1t was stolen. The articles were found in a house on Avenue c, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. The negro has been robbing houses just four or five blocks further south and bringing the
