Birmingham. July 15--tSpecial,-- Mobile county will tomorrow morning receive the eleven convicts who were sent to Flat Top mines, in the western part of Jefferson county. under lease to the sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, and for the breaking of which lease considerable litigation was recently experienced
 Mobile county claimed that the con- victs were not treated altogether hu- namely and habeas corpus proceedings were started. Charles Ossie. a negro being used as the plaintiff. ossie. him- self. knew nothing about the institu- ton of the suit until carried to court as a witnesR.
 The proceedings were started after q visit was made to the penitentiary at Fiat Top by Dr. Ward of Mobile, who stAted that county eonvints at the mines were not given the same treat rnent As were the convicts under the State supervision The ohicials of the sioss- sbeffieid Steel and Iron Company denied emphatically that the eonviets were mistreated in any manner. shape or form and resisted the habaas corpus proceedings.
 Judge Weaver in the Criminal Court. decided against the plaintiff Tn the pro-
 
 county, carried the matter to the Su- Ireme Court. appealing from the decis- lon of Judge Weaver. The Supreme Court decided in favor of Mobile coun- ty and 1t now appears that the Iron company will not make further fight.
 The following convicts were brought to Birmingham from Flat Top this morning and win be in Mobile by to- morrow morning: Joseph Redmond. Frank Whitson. John Perry, Frank York, Nelson Porter, Willie Simms, James Johnson, Henry Williams, Is- rael Jackson. Charles J. Wilder and Charles Ussie.
 The men have sentences ranging from eighteen months to twenty-six months. One of them talked to at the county jail here did not care much as to the change. and his appearances did not show that he had been suffering any. It is understood that the con vfcts will be leased out again to lum- Der company Since the suit was in- stituted by Mobile county, the State has taken the supervision of all con viets in the coal mines, and there will be no difference in the treatment. if there was any difference heretofore

 Birmingham, July 1b--tSpocial.) = Negroes who even resemble Robert L. Dix, the condemned murderer who es- caped from the Birmingham jail ten days ago, throughout the country are going to have a hard time proving that they are not the man wanted.
 Sheriff Burgin, since sending out hundreds of circulars announcing tho offer ot the reward of $1.500 for the capture of the negro. has been receiv- ing letters. telephone messages ana telegrams from all parts of the coun- try telling of seeing men and in a aumber of instances, announcing the arrest of negroes.
 This morning a telegram came iron, Somersville, Texas. and the sheriff sending the message asked that a good description be sent as he believed tho Eegro in my jail now is the right man"
 The description has been forwarded to the Texas sheriff. Nothing definite has been heard as to the escape and while the authorities have hopes of ra~ capturing the negro, 1t is believed that August 8. the date on which Dix was to have been exeoNted. will pass by with the negro ttill at liberty.
 Another big batch of the circuIaps W ere sent out by the sheriff today and during the week more circulars will b1 sent into those territories which were flooded last week. In the hone that further interest will be aroused In the capture of the negro.
 The Birmingham Bee. Blrminshan1's sensational little paper. in its account of the escape of Dix, says that money was 'alsed by colored fraternaf so- cieties for the assistance of Dix. The Eee Is harsh in several para grarhs and hands out some warm roasts.
