RAILROAD WORLD.

Al New York special to the St. Louis Globe Democrat is responsible for the following statement:
 Two important matters concerning the relations of the fast expanding Rock Is- land system to other lines have been practically settled. One Is that President B. F. Yoakum of the St. Louis and San Francisco, which is now part of the Rock Island system, is to dominate the man. agement of the Seaboard Air Line, and the other is that the Rock Island interests are to have representation in the board of directors of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. It may be stated on high authority that within the past few months several thousands of shares of the Atchison stock have passed Into the con- trol of ex-Judge w. H. Moore and his associates in the Rock Island syndicate. Much of the Atchison's stock that has been held in Boston ever since the reor- ganization of the company has passed into the hands of the Rock Island people.
 The cash payments made on Friday through the banking house of Ladenburg Thalman & Co. completed an agreement made a few weeks ago by which a large block of Seaboard Air Line stock becomes the property of the St. Louis and San Francisco syndicate headed by President Yoakum.
 A circular has been isued from the pas senger department of the Southern. under date of Washington, D. C., announcing the appointment of J. D. Ruden as trav- cling passenger agent of the company in New York city to succeed J. E. Fletcher, who has resigned to engage in other bus mess.

LITTLE CRIMINALS
 AGAIN IN TROUBLE
TWO NEGRO BOYS SCARCELY OUT OF BABYHooD ARRESTED ON A CHARGE OF STEALING CHICK -WoNDERFULLY AGILE.

Two of the members of the infant gang of negro criminals of Birmingham are again in the hands of the police.
 The little negroes are Luther Daniels and Dennis Seyers, neither of whom are much more than babies, but both are often in trouble on one charge or another.
 This time there are two charges of larceny against each of them, and na- turally one of the charges is for stealing chickens. If there are two negroes who are more successful in stealing chickens than any other two negroes in Birming- ham 1t is thls pair. They are so small that they can crawl into hole much less than a foot square, and they can skin out to the very end of the small limbs of trees to get the fowls where they roost.
 For the past four years this gang has done everything in the criminal line that boys could do, and it has even been thought once or twice that they were connected with several large burglaries, which were committed, but no evidence against them could ever be obtained.
 When there are any petty crimes com- mitted and the police have cause to be- lieve young negroes committed them, the first specimens looked for are Luther Daniels and his gang. They are gen. erally easily found, but never easily caught, as. they can run like rabbits. It is a peculiar fact that there are never any petty crimes committed by young negroes when Luther and the other sub leaders of the gang are in jail but as soon as they get out something happens.
 The members of this gang have spent fully four-fifths of their time in the city jail, and the police regard them as the future bad criminals of Birmingham. -~~->-----~------------ said that he saw Chance Moore, Ba1lin- ger and Patton following the two men; that he neither saw nor heard any shots fired and that he afterwards went down the track for about a mile with the crowd where they found MT. Hallier lying on the ties and the colored man bleeding
 At this point the government announced that 1t would rest and the defense said they had no witnesses and would also rest.
 Commissioner Wilson adjourned the hearing until II o'clock this morning at which time the arguments will be made. The witnesses who testified will also have to sign the stenographic report of their testimony as taken yesterday.

EAST LAKE CANNOT
 APPROVE THE BILL
CITY COUNCIL TAKES ACTION
 AGAINST PENDING MEASURE
 FOR GREATER BIRMINGHAM. STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

The city council of East Lake met in regular semi-monthly meeting Tuesday night with only four of the aldermen pres ent.
 T. L. Moore. city clerk read the min utes of the previous meeting which were approved with some little alterations.
 Under the head of reports of standing committees the question of street im- provement was taken up and discussed.
 By a recently adopted resolution, 20 per cent of the gross revenue of the city is set aside for street improvement. and as this fund will be available this month, the council ordered certain work to be done on the streets before the rains of the winter set in.
 Alderman Robert A. Morris made the report for the anti-Greater Birmingham committee and discussed the question for nearly an hour. MT. Morris said that the original bill, as agreed upon by the au- thorities of Birmingham and the subur- ban towns, and the members of the Jeff ferson county delegation, should pass. He said that this bill would be satisfactory to the suburbs but that they wouldn't stand for the proposed changes that it is re- ported, would be made in the bill.
 On motion of Alderman Prude a com mittee was appointed to draw up reso- lutions defining East Lakes position on this subject. Aldermen Morris and Prude were appointed on this committee.
 Alderman Morris was appointed to con- fer with President Robert Jemison of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company in reference to extending the electric wires to the city of East Lake.

 After we had gone around curve in the road we were ordered to stop and throw up our hands. They then searched us. Moore then said, Trot.' We had gone about fifteen yards when several shots were fired. heard one bullet whis- tie by and the next instant felt a sting

ALBERT HAMPE WAS
CAPTURED THIS NOON
Deputy Sheriff CharlessC ssClosson Over.
took Him Near Thornton and Will
Bring Him to Santa Fe
This Evening.
NOTHING HAS BEEN SEEN OF JOSE TeLlES

Albert Hampe, the man charged with
train robbery, and one of the two who
killed Epitacio Gallegos at the county
Jail on Sunday night, was caught this
noon by the posse under Deputy Sheriff
Charles Closson. A telegram was re-
ceived by Sheriff Kinsell from Mr..
Closson, dated Thornton, announcing
he had caught Hampe but had seen
nothing of Telles. Deputy Sheriff
Closson will bring Hampe in this eve
ming. At o'clock yesterday afternoon
Closson sent the sheriff the following
telegram from Thornton: "Have
tracked the men to railroad, but have
lost dog. Was crowding them and
found shell where they shot at dog and
dog never came back to us. We are in
rough country afoot. Telegraph up the
line. The American is shot in his arm.
They can't be far away unless they
caught train. If dog shows up today
telegraph me.'
Hampe is the one who was reported
as having his feet frozen in addition
to the wound in the arm, and it is
probable that as the posse pressed
them closely Telles abandoned him in
mis- efforts to escape.
