ONLY ONE MINE BEING WORKED
Forty Negroes Take Places of Strik
ers in Alabama.

Birmingham. Alt, Get. SIT is re
ported that 40 negro miners went tC
work at John yesterday, which is one
OF the mines in the Blue Creek district
whore the big mass meeting was he,t
the day before.
Information has been received
which is thought to be reliable, thai
not a man returned to work at Bloc
ton, 'AdSer or Belle LUmpter, and only
negroes at Johns. There was no at
tempt to keep them from work, and
the idle miners in the city assert that
no attempt will be made, and that the
sending of special deputies by the Tea
nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad compa
ny to protect them is useless. 4
squad of 50 has some to the mines
under charge of Chief Deputy Henry
Cole, a very prudent and brave man.
From all the indications, the com
pany Will not recede from its position
and the miners are firm. 1t is said
large accessions TO the negro miners
now at work will be made in few
days, as the negro laborers from the
cotton fields are abandoning their
crops and will seek employment in
the mines.
To give these new accessions protec.
ton and relieve them OF fear of trou-
BILE from the miners is thought to be
lone of the main causes for sending
ldeputies. The deputies are well
armed, and have abundance of ammu.
nition. and are well prepare ed fer any
and all emergencies,
Many idle miners are in the city,
and all seem determined to stand by
the order to strike, and do no violence,
What influence the presence of the
deputies will have, whether for good
or i'll, cannot be forecasted.

Influences. I employed over one hundred hands,
and the worI> was conducted as much in water as
out Of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-

account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. [ procured 1t, and those who
were sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,

Estimates Of the loss vary from

in the J. s. Corbett well near the cen

ing the middle section of the Hogg-
Swayne tract, and swept the section
completely, destroying practically
every derrick and pumping rig. The
fact that there was no wind prevented
the spread of the fire. Across tho
