The new United States cruiser AL
bany, which was launched at New
castle, England, last Saturday, was
purchased from Brazil last spring
when its construction had only fairly
commenced. 1t is a sister ship of the
New Orleans, yet in many respects is
superior to that magnificent vessel.
The Albany will have speed of 21l
knots and a coal capacity which will
enable it to steam 10, 900 miles on one
coaling. The vessel is copper
sheathed, which will enable it to keep
at sea for long period without d.
lninution of speed. An ordinary steel
ship is fouled in a short time and
loses two or three knots. The 6-inch
guns with which the Albany will be
armed are of most modern construc-
ton, capable of penetrating six inches
of Harveyized steel at n thousand
yards. They can make effective prac-
tice at a distance of eight miles. All
the guns are quick-tiring, and at a
long distance could maintain per
feet hurricane of shot and shell.

IT is estimated that there are 1919

IT is estimated that there are 199,-
100000 old-styie copper pennies
somewhere. Nobody knows what has
become of them except that once in a
while single specimen turns up in
change. A few years ago $500, 00O
bronze 2-cent pieces were set afoat.
Three millions of them are still out
standing, but are never seen. A mil
lion of Scent silver pieces are scat
tered over the United States, but it is
very seldom that one comes across
any OF them. OF the 500, 600 one-half
cent pieces not one has Eeen returned

held by the treasury.

a RACE WAR IN ALABAMA.
Negro and white Miners Clash and
Three Blacks Are Killed and Two
Badly wounded.

Badly Wounded.
Birmingham, Ala, June 2S.-Three
negroes are dead and one is not expect
ed to live as result of n riot between
the white and negro miners at the ore
mines near Cardiff, in Jefferson coun-
ty. The dead are: Ed Ellis, Jim Dill
and Adam Samuels. Wounded: Ru-
dolph Williams, George Thomas, the
latter mortally.
The two races came to a clash Tues
day afternoon in Glasgow hollow,
where the negroes had congregated,
armed with Winchester rifles. a white
man passing along the road was held
up and roughly handled. This news
soon spread and an armed body of
white miners moved toward the hol-
low. 1t is supposed that they went
around by circuitous route in the
mountains and came up on the ne
groes unexpectedly.
Ed Ellis, the leader, armed with a
Winchester and a revolver, fell at the
first shot. a rifle bullet did the work.
There was another volley and four
other negroes fell. Jim Dill and Adam
Samuels died in a few minutes after
being removed to a negro house.
George Thomas was shot through the
abdomen. He is not expected to re-
cover. Rudolph Williams will live.
The trouble started on Monday
when it was thought that John Shep-
herd, who on last Wednesday assault
ed Mrs. Monroe Jones, near Corona,
was in that community. The negroes
armed themselves to prevent his cap
ture. Both sides were aroused and
only the timely arrival of sheriff's
posse prevented an outbreak. Yester-
day morning the negro miners held n
mass meeting and refused to go to
work. They all belong to a secret
organization known as the knights
of Africa" or the mysterious Ten" ="
They keep rifles and ammunition on
hand at all times. 1t was in the after
noon that they gathered in Glasgow
hollow, although with what intention
is not now known.
Influential citizens say that the ring
leaders are now out of the way and
they hope to manage the other ne
groes. Ed Ellis, the head of the band,
and holding the chief Office in the ne
gro organization, made speech to the
negroes just before his death. telling
them not tobelieve what the white off
GERS had told them and swearing that
he, for one, would get even with
Sheriff O'Brien, who on Monday at the
point of shotgun, ordered him TO dis
perse his gang.
Shortly after the riot Sheriff O'Brien
left here with 100 armed men. He had
the situation in hand for the time be-
ing, although late reports say the situ-
alton is extremely critical and that the
negroes are talking of avenging the
death of their leaders.
