STRIKE SITUATION
REMAINS THE SAME
IShkooda Mines Operated With
Reduced Output.
LITTLE CAN BE LEARNED
Miners Claim That High Price of Iron
Justites an Advance in Wages
-Four More Deputies
Sent Out

The strike among the ore miners of tho
Robinson Mining company at Iskooda con-
tinued about the same yesterday. From
one source it was heard that a majority of
the men We're not working, though what
per cent. could not be learned. The Off
GERS of the company stated last night that
the situation was just about the same and
that tho mines would continue to be
operated, with a reduced output, how
ever. The company officials say that they
have not yet decided how long they will
wait before making attempts to get new
men in the mines. So far is known,
however. there will be no conference with
the strikers.
The request came in from Ishkooda yes
terday that four more deputies be sent to
the mines to assist the four already there
in quelling any possible disturbance that
might arise. Not the slightest trouble has
been reported yet.
Base 1t on Price of Iron
The miners side of this question is that
the price of pig iron has now reached such
a high point that they are entitled to a
raise, just as are the coal miners, VINO
have had their wages increased 80 1-3 per
cent. during the past eleven months, owing
to the increase in the price of pig.
The company, on the other hand, claims
that ore miners are not on the same foot
ing with coal miners, the nature of the
work being entirely different. Coal miners,
most of the time have very little work
during the summer, are subject to very
great dangers in the mines, and worst of
ALL have their wages cut down when the
prices in iron drop. Ore miners, on the
contrary, have steady work all the year
round, in comparatively safe mines, which
are also free from the extremes of the
weather, and their pay never varies, even
when iron is at its lowest For this reason
the operators claim that an increase in
wages now would be unreasonable.

Brownsville, June 16.-(Special.) DIR. J. A.
B. Lovett, the newly elected president of
the Agricultural school at this place. ad-
dressed a large audience in the college
chapel last night. So great is the enthus-

school, that much powder has been used in
firing anvils, and on his arrival in the
community yesterday, the firing was re-
newed and kept up for some time. The citi-
zens are fairly alive to the interests of the
school, and are going to work with re-
newed energy to build up the city Of

Brown consulted the - RS notes
to refresh his memory and again repeated
the statement which Mr.. Powell insisted
was not correct. Mr.. Brown resented the
remarks and stated that what Mr.. Powell
had said was not true.
AT this juncture the scrap began. Powell
was aggressive and landed a straight drive at
Browns face, which landed on the check
A clinch followed, and in the break-away
several body blows were struck.
In the meantime the spectators we've
thrown into state of intense excitement
especially the jurymen, who occupied an
advantageous position, much the same as
reserved seats at a worlds champion" con-
test. The men were mixing up at a lively
rate, when Judge Coleman called upon
someone to stop the contest, which caused
one of the jurymen who was standing in
his chair to cry out in the eXhuberance of
his appreciation, mo, let EN- have it out!'
Several attorneys who were in the bar rail
sprang between their pugilistic colleagues
and brought the contest to an end.
Fined $40 Each
The offenders were Immediately sum-
moned before Judge Coleman, who admin
istered a severe rebuke. which he supple
mented with fine of $40 each for contempt
of court. In the course of his remarks he
suggested in case the honor of either gen.
teman had not been fully INDICATED the
court might take a short recess to allow
them to fight it out in the rear of the court
house.
Quiet was soon restored and the trial re-
sumed.
AT the afternoon session both gentlemen
made due apology to the court for their
hasty actions, which was accepted.

The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-06-17


pressed himself yesterday as BOSS
tremely hopeful of success.
The following complimentary notice con-
corning Judge Allen is taken from the
Richmond Times:
1.-THE Hon. B. NJ. Allen, of Birmingham,
Ala, who is to be elected grand exalted
ruler of the EIks at the annual meeting
of the grand lodge in st. Louis June 20, is
native of Caroline county, Va 1t is I'M
derstood that his election will take place
without opposition. Mr.. Allen graduated
at Blacksburg, Va, at the age of II, and,
removing to Alabama, studied law and
was admitted to the bar. Locating in Bir-
mingham he worked his way up rapidly
and now ranks one of the leading law
yers of the south. AS a criminal lawyer he
has few equals anywhere in his section. He
has accumulated a fortune and has done it
honestly Joining the Elks about ten years
ago, he soon mastered the philosophy of
the order and became one of its shining
lights. Allen is a merry wag and will rule
Elkdom therefore, not with an iron rod, but
with an unrestrained jollity that will be
contagious from New York to San Fran
cisco.
HE is a son of the late Rev. L. w. Allen,
a Baptist minister of wide popularity, and
q native of Henrico county,"

trial came off, thinking that they might
possibly be on hand AT 2 o'clock neither
of them had shown up at the police station
and at O'Clock the story was repeated.
He then knew that the women had gone
and Immediately began a search for the
missing girl Everyone who had known
her at all was questioned, but nobody had
seen the young woman.
Mysterious Young Man
Several days ago the chief was informed
that the girl had no money and he suspic-
toned that she had not left of her own
accord. A young man who had been an
intimate friend of Miss Griest arrived in
Birmingham few days ago and called
on the girl. It is believed by the officials
that this young mans visit had something
to do with the disappearance.
The parents of the yopng woman live at
Sidon, Miss, and it is thought that she and
her mother went in that direction. There
are several trains leaving here between
and o'clock in the afternoon and it is
probable that the women took one of these
trains. 1t was possible for them to go
south on either the Louisville and Nash
vile or Alabama Great Southern and north
over the Southern to Atlanta. On the
strength of the theory that the girl and
her mother went towards Mississippi on the
Alabama Great Southern at Ais, Chief Aus
tin telephoned to the ticket agent at Bes-
semer. He was informed that two women
bought tickets from that place to Tusca-
loosa and boarded the Alabama Great
Southern, southbound train. The agent did
not look at the women closely and his de-
scription was not accurate. It is believed,
however, that these two women were Miss
Grest and her mother and that they bought
tickets to Tuscaloosa for the purpose of
throwing the officials off their track.
The police are of the opinion that Miss
Greist stopped at Meridian where she has
an intimate girl friend and that her
mother went on to Sidon.
Captain Weir said last night 1t was re-
ported that the young man who called on
the girl in the boarding house lives at An
niston, and that place is also under sur
VIGILANCE.
Went to n Small Station
No women answering the description OF
Mrs and Miss Greist boarded trains in the
union depot that afternoon, and it is prob
able that the women went out of the city
to some small station and there bought
tickets. The authorities think they have
a clue in the Bessemer theory and will fol-
low it up.
Another theory Is that the girl possibly
went to Columbia, small town in this
state. She has a relative living there and
received lteter from her a few days ago.
The women certainly planned their escape
well, as the officers are completely at sea.
Chief Austin is determined to find the girl
and says he will have her brought back
to Birmingham If she stops anywhere in the
United States.
The Holloway case has been set for June
q, but If the girl is not found by that time
another postponemmt will be had

Public School Notes.

The debate on the South African
war by the boys and girls OF the
eighth and ninth grades OF the school
waA held ut their. room last Friday
afternoon. The debate was q very
creditablc one, and especially SO con.
sidering the fact that the students are
young and that that was the first de-
bate of the term. A SIGNAL repor-
ter was present and he very much en-
joyed the contest. The debate re-
suited in victory for the side de-
Tending the Boers.
There will be u debate by the stud
ents Of the high school department
at the school house tomorrow (Fri-
day. afternoon on the Philippine
question, and it promises to be an
especially interesting one. The
school now has the proper spirit in
this line OF work, and it is hoped that
debating will continue in these de-
partments and soon be commenced in
the other departments, for nothing is
more helpful in developing the stud
ent's latent powers and in bringing
him up to full realization of the
importance of good, wholesome
command of language and a ready
knowledge OF facts involved. The
training one gets in debating soci-
ETY. or literary club cannot be over
estimated, and therein is taken many
times the initial step in an eventful
life which leaves its inspiring i'm
press on the world, to cheer on the
struggling and somewhat impatient
student to grander achievements IN
the preparation for the worlds grea,
theater of thought and action.
A visit to the SCHOOL convinced the
SIGNAL representative that every de
partment is very much crowded, and
while good work is now being done
it will be materially improved whel
some Of the students have beef
transferred to the new school house
now being built. We are more thai
ever convinced that the school trus
tees did good thing when they de
cided to build more room and hir
) two more teachers.
The scholars like to have the pa
rents and others call at the schoo
house and see what Is being don
there. Manifest more interest in tn
boys and girls in the school room an
they will he more interested in tAei
work. Call and give them encouI
agement and get acquainted with til
