 Police Chief Wier in Town.
 Chief of Police w. k. Wier of tho police department at Birmingham. came to Montgomery yesterday on business connected with the administration of the law in the North Alabama city. and incidentally to look over the Mont gomery police department and observe how things are done here.
 Birmingha has a somewhat larger police force than Montgomery. owing. In great measure. to the fact that it has a more cosmopolitan population. Many criminals are sent to the mines of Jet- ferson County from all parts of the State who remain in Birmingham af ter the expiration of their sentences, ofttimes giving the police there con- siderable trouble, and finally landing in the State prison for second time.
