BOSTON INTERESTED
In Ex-Governor Northen's Speech cn
 Negro Question

Boston, May 23.-The people of Boston are showing deep interest in the address of Former Governor w. J. Northen, of Georgia, who spoke before the Congrega- tional club here last night, but who, through lack of time, was compelled to curtail his speech, although he occupied more than two hours.
 It was the general verdict today that the citizens here never before have had such an exhaustive statement of the attitude of the south on the negro question.
 While some of MT. Northern's statements did not meet with the approval of his au- dience, especially those with the story of Uncle Toms Cabin,' the general favor with which his statements were received was shown by an expression from the floor when the speaker, prompted by the chair man, was about to close, by person who moved that the gentleman be permitted to deliver the whole of his address if 1t takes all night
 The motion was greeted with applause, and the speaker continued for another half hour
 Although necessarily restricted as to time, Bishop Arnett, who was to speak of the negro, had the close attention of the audience, and as he closed was given a hearty nandshake by ex-Governor North en, and cordial invitation to visit the former chief executive of Georgia and Att lanta.
 Several prominent clergymen of Boston discussed the address today, among them being Rev. Dr. J. A. Hamilton, of the Con- gregational church, who\said:
 "The ex-governor evidently tried to give the impression that the colored man is the only offender; that he has a monopoly of the heinous forms of crime which is at the bottom of the greater part of the lynch ings. If that is the idea he desires to con- vey stamp 1t as false. had occasion to visit the south short time since, and I can truthfully say that the black man has more ground for complaint on this score than the southern white man."
 Rev. Dr. Edward A Horton said:
 q think that ex-Governor Northen has greatly exaggerated the true sentiment in the south. I believe, however, that the judges and these true white citizens of the south deplore the lynchng methods"

Huntsville Closes Deal With Mer-
 rimack Company.

Following the Cotton Mil Will Come an Electric Street Railway-Du- pont Syndicate Buys Hold
 ings insWest End,

Huntsville, May 2S.-(Special.)-Th deaf with the Merrimack Manufacturing com pany has at last been closed and a 200 ,00j spindle cotton mill, beachery and dye works will be built on a site one mile from this city.
 Several hitches have occurred since the project was started, but every difficulty has been overcome and deeds to 500 acres of land around Brahan Spring, to be used as building site, have been delivered to the company. A bonus of Sl0,000 has been placed deposit in the Farmers and Merchants National bank. Both railroads have begun to ship materials to be used in building side tracks to the site of the new mill. The mill will have it's own wafer works, having purchased Brahan Spring which flows nine million gallons of water a day.
 The Merrlmack mills will double tine population of Huntsville and bring several new enterprises. It will employ five thousand operatives. A deal with a large brewing syndicate to establish a s10O,OOJ brewery here depended upon the location of the Merrimack mills, as did the building of an electric street railway and the location of the Lowe cotton mills of Connecticut. Work on the street railway will begin within the next two weeks, the first line to be three miles in length, running from the Merri- mack mills in South Huntsville to the Dallas mills in East Huntsville.
 By reason of the location of the new nills more investments have been made in Huntsville within the past month than ever before in the same length of time. An immense deal was consummated yester- day afternoon whereby the West Hunts vile Land company sold it's entire holdings i'll West Huntsville to the DuPont syndi- cate. of Johnstown, Pa. The property that changed hands lies just outside of the city limits and consists of six hundred acres. All of this is to be improved and 1t is re- liably reported that the DuPont company will erect a tin plate mill and a steel foundry.
 Real estate values have increased per ceptibly within the past two weeks

To Readiust Mining Rates

President Young, of the Alabama District No. 20, United Mine Workers of America, has called convention of miners of Ala bama, to be held in Birmingham on June 19 for the purpose of determining on what basis the new contract with the mining companies shall be signed. The contract which exists at present between the miners and the operators, will expire on July 1, and it is a very important question to decide just what stand the miners will take when the new contract Is to be signed
 According to the present agreement, forty cents a ton shall be paid for mining coal, when pig iron is selling for $7.10 ton or less. For each advance of fifty cents in pig iron over that price, the price for min- ing coal shall be advanced 21s cents.
 President Young who was in the city yes- terday, declined to express any opinion as to what the terms of the new contract would probably be, saying that he had not heard a full discussion yet of the miners side of the question.
