TRAINS AT THE DEPOT
1o,425 IN CAR SHED DURING
 THE YEAR.
Business of Railroads Entering Montgomery Sho'zs Progress of the Capital oity-Double
 Tracking the L. 6 N.

During the year just closed 16425 pas senger trains were under the train shed at the Montgomery Union Railway sta- tion.
 These figures show better than anything else the great volume of business done at the Union Station. and the growing importance of Montgomery as a railroad center. During the year the trains arriv- ing at the station were 1888. with s462 departing, making 16425 trains handled.
 Taking the low average of five cars to a train coming in there were 39,6f5 cars handled and going out 42,310, making Sl,- 925 cars handled in the shed during the year. Taking another low average of 15 persons to a car and in round numbers 596.0OO persons came in and went out of Montgomery during that time.
 The major portion of this enormous crowd came from the magnificent subur- ban service with which Montgomery is favored, and 1t is safe to say that no city in the country may boast of the advantages that the local merchants have in this service. It Is that 1t is steadily growing all of the time, and during the coming season the suburban trains will be the means of bringing thousands of dollars to the jobbing and shopping trade of Montgomery.
 Double Tracking, l.. and N.
 It will not be many months before the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Will have a double track all the way from Birmingham to Calera. making the hand ling of the immense coal and export bus iness a much easier proposition than at present.
 The road is already double-tracked from Calera to Slluria, a distance of fifteen miles. and another double track is from Birmingham to Oxmoor, distance of six miles. This leaves a gap of fourteen miles between Siluria and Oxmoor to be double-tracked and the work will be done as soon as possible

WROTE CHECK; IN JAIL
YOUNG STRANGER IS ARRESTED
 FOR FORGERY.
Joa Hindman, Alias R. q. Stine, Cap tursd in Montgomery by Police and VIII Be Taken to
 Birmingham.

Joe Iindman alias R. E. Stine had Iettars in his travelling case. which would lead gullible people to believe that he was a Pinkerton detective. The letters were of little value to him last night, when he was arrested by Police Captain ". H. Taylor and Special ofzicer D. ". Jack son for forgeries committed in Birming- ham and Montgomery.
 Joe Hindman arrived in Montgomery yesterday from Birmingham. He Is a young man who wears good clothes He registered at fhe New Mabson Hotel as R. B. stine. At the same time he told the clerk in confidential. tones that he was an agent of the great Chicago detec- tive system formed by Allan Pinkerton.
 To substantiate this statement. Hind- man or Stine displayed a pair of new iiandcuffs. He purchased stamps for letters addressed to the Chicago ofiice of the Pinkertons. He also had a letter or two addressed to a woman in Jackson- vile. Fla, stating that he would do all in his power to keep her son from being hanged.
 Later on he secured a blank check and filfed 1t out for the sum of s2o. He asked T. H. Mabson to cash it. The check was made payable at the First National Bank. Florence, Ala.
 Mr.. Mabson was suspicious He wired to Florence in reference to the cheek and received an answer that the bank of ficials knew not R. E. stine. Then Mir. Mabsof communicated with the police authorities Police Chief Gerald had received a telegram from Police Chief Weir of Birmingham telling him to watch out for R. D. Stine, who had secured cash to the extent of $50 on a bogus check.
 Police Captain Taylor and Special Cf- ficer Jackson went at once to the New Mabson Hotel Hindman had retired. When he was awakened and told he was to finish his nights sleep at the police station. he offered no objection. He was silent and would make no statement as to his true or false identity. Tn his travelling case was found chect, made payable to R. P. Stine, signed by B. B. Bates, on the Sheffield National Bank Appended was a telegram to the proprietor of the Florence Hotel, telling him that the Bates person was yet to be introduced.
 stine will be taken to Birmingham to- day.

FIRE IN TWO HOMES
ROOF OF CAPT. SANGUINETTI's
 HOUSE BURNED.
Lost Valuable Confederate Relics and Some Furniture-Mr. Crubbe's
 Residence Damaged-Fire- man Hauck Injured.

The roofs of two Montgomery residences were burned yesterday morning and the houses were gutted by water practically rendering two families homeless.
 The homes ruined by fire were those of Captain Paul Sanguinetti, 104 North Rip ley Street, and J. s. Crabbe, 40 Martha Street.
 Considerable furniture was saved from both residences and the loss by both fires was estimated at 1,200
 Fire in the roof of the residence of Cap tain Sanguinetu was discovered at $40 o'clock, and a telephone alarm called the fire department. When the fremen reached the scene the flames were burn ing brlskly, the whole roof being ablaze.
 While fighting the fire inside of the house, Peter Hauck, driver Of hose wagon, was injured. Mastering in one of the rooms fell from the ceiling. strik- ing him on the head. He dropped to the floor unconscious and was carried from the burning building unconscious. Hauck was removed to his home on Jefferson Street. His injuries are not serious but he will be confined at his homt several days.
 Neighbors of Captain Sanguinetti as- sisted the family in saving some furnit- ure and a fine piano. although a number of Confederate relics highly prized by Captain Sanguioett were destroyed.
 The house was owned by Captain Sam guinetti. It was insured for $1,5Oo. He also had $500 insurance on his furniture. The building caught fire from chimney sparlke.
 About the time the fire in the Sangui- netti residence was under control an alarm was sent in from box IS, corner of Heron and Dickinson Streets and the fremen made a quick run across town.
 The second fire was in the roof of a one story frame cottage at 410 Martha Street owned by Patrolman W. H. Taylor and occupied by the family of J. S. Crabbe, a railroad 1agman.
 The house caught fire from chimney sparks. A high wind was blowing and the sparks set fire to three cottages di- rect1y across Martha Street. These cot tages are owned by Rev. G. w. Town send. By prompt work of the firemen the cottages were not damaged.
 The roof of. the cottage occupied by Mfr. Crabbe was partially destroyed and the interior of the house was gutted by water.

Agree to Curtailment.

It is now announced that all the larger iron manufacturing companies in the Southern territory and the majority of the smaller industries have asssnted to the proposition looking to a eurtaiiment of the pig iron production and the commit- tee having the work in hand is now ar- ranging the details. Before the end of the coming week the exact amount of cur tailment to be carried out by each and every company signing the agreement will have been figured on and the mart will begin to adjust. The shipments to-day, the first day under the reduced freight rates, were heavy, many car loads of iron go- ing out of the district on all lines as was anticipated. The curtailment of pro- duction of pig iron in this district Is but like what is being done in the North and West. Inside of month the reduc- tion will amount to a large quantity of pig iron and the larger consumers may rush to the market to get supplies for fear of some trouble a little later on. The reaction brought about by the cheaper freight rates will draw some on the accumulated stock on the yards hereaboutS.
