ALABAMA CONvICTS.


They are all Leased to the tennessee Coal and Iron
Company.
MONTGOMERY, January 4.-The State
Of Alabama has let out ali of its convicts
on ten year contracts to the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad Company They
number about 800 and the average price
is *13 per month each, which is a more
than the State has ever before received.
The convicts will all be worked in the
great Pratt coal mines near Birmingham.
The contractors agree to construct en-
tirely new prisons in accordance with
the best modern plans, as well as school
rooms for the convicts and dwellings for
teachers, and to pay the teachers them
selves. The Pratt mines supply coke for
nearly all of the furnaces in Alabama,
and produce more than 5000 tons per
day. This contract for convicts Is there
fore regarded as highly important, since
it secures the furnaces against possible
failure to supply full supply of coal
on account of strikes, etc. One of the
three State inspectors of the convicts is
required to be always at the prison.
