NEW YORK STRIKE AVERTED.
Engineers and Firemen Have at Last
Reached an Agreement.
New York, August 12.—The notional
deputy grand chiefs of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen,
Messrs. Youngson and Wilson, with the
division chiefs and the other local repre
sentatives of those two organizations. In
the employ of the Manhattan Elevated
Railroad, have come to an agreement
and there will he no strike. The labor
officials refused to say anything regard
ing the final conference, but General
Manager Skltt of the Manhattan gave
out the following statement:
"The matters In dispute were finally
narrowed down to a question of hours
for a day's work, and the limit of nine
ty miles per day. The engineers waived
the question of miles, and the company
conceded the nine-hour day. Agreement
was signed and the conference ended."
Mr. Youngson left tonight for home.
All he would say was that the men had j
practically obtained all they asked for.

Miss Marie Plnchard was the lovely
young hostess yesterday afternoon at
the Informal event In compliment to Miss
Elisabeth Jemlson, the occasion assem
bling nearly fifty guests. Anagrams were
played, the word "Coronation" inspiring
a spirited contest, the prises including a
box of gorgeous American Beauty roses,
an exquisite rose and fan.
The coronation idea was carried out
in the details, the score cards being orna
mented with crowns, courtles and royal
regalia, while throughout the house the
scarlet color scheme so in evidence at
the coronation was brought out in scar
let blossoms artistically arranged, many
details being brightened with scarlet rib
bons. A delicious luncheon was served
at the close of the games.
Miss Pinchard s blond beauty was ac
centuated by an exquisite dress of pale
blue organdie.
As an evidence that even a common
girl is not entirely heartless is the fol
lowing extract from a letter from a
Birmingham girl who is queening it over
a dozen or more men at a house party
in a distant state. “I have just had a
charming automobile ride, two in fact
on both Thursday and Friday. The ma
chine Is a perfect beauty—a Victoria, run
by electricity. We went over to the sta
tion to meet some people from Wash
ington, the most beautiful drive in the
world these perfect August days. The
road was like velvet, soft, spungy and
the air was caressing. You may imag
ine how happy I was. The man—I al
most forgot him—Is a charming fellow.
He has two automobiles. ThlnK of it!
And money to burn!”
"How can I describe Venice to yon.”
writes a charming Birmingham woman
In a foreign letter which came by this
morning's mail. “It is one place that
goes beyond ones expectations—the city
of the sea, with its streets of water mak
ing it stand apart from all other places.
“I had imagined all of the gondoliers
young, handsome, picturesque, but we
found a majority of them old men. But
the first night we found one whom we
named ‘Ricordo of tne Grey Ryes.’ And
then we walked over the Rialto, the
Bridge of Sights, and at night went out
with our gondolier among the gay parties
of serenaders up and down the grand
canal.”
Later on she refers to her emotion up
on seeing the stars and stripes floating
in tl^e breeze in a far off country. “We
f*»‘l like stopping before it and bow
ing the way the Germans and Austrians
do at their shrines.”
The continued warm weather in town,
together with the absence of so many
people makes social life extremely quiet.
There is little to chronicle in the way
of entertaining and it is too early to
begin to write of “those w'ho are re
turning.” August will find the cottage
colony at St. Clair and Blount still in
possession and the hotel at Blount is
crowded. The cottagers are constantly
entertaining friends from town and life
is very charming, although not especial
ly gay.
The Birmingham people, who are
abroad are flitting here and there. Oi. j
hears of them in Dresden, In Vienna,
at Lucerne and of course Paris. Mrs.
I Harry Inge, of Mobile, so well known
in Birmingham is traveling with friends
through Italy. September will bring its
sailing dates and there are many book
ed to sail about the middle of the month.
The outgoing steamers from Savannah
are crowded with southerners going
north. It is difficult to engage passage
except days in advance of one’s sailing.
The sea trip Is perfect at this season
and far preferable to the long railway
journey.
The coast resorts are at their height
just now, and through August the Bir
mingham people who are cruising with
friends or passing the days on shore
will prolong their stay.
A distressing accident reaches me
from the Adirondacks.
Mrs. Basil Gordon of Baltimore, who
is so well known here, has Just lost one
of her children, who was fatally burned
at her cottage in the Adirondacks. The
accident was due to the nurse. In some
way a mosquito bar was set on fire and
the flames spread so rapidly tnat one of
the children received fatal injuries. Mrs.
Gordon was the beautiful Leila Sinclair
Montague. A picture of her and her
children appeared in these columns just
about the time of the sad accident
NOTES AND PERSONALS.
“No, I am not engaged to Mr. Weston,”
said Miss Mona Carrington yesterday
when asked of the rumor concerning her
and Mr. Kendal Weston.
“You may say positively that I am not
engaged, or perhaps it would be better
not to say anything about it in the pa
pers.”
The rumor that Miss Carrington and
Mr. Weston were engaged was started
just before the Lakeview Stock company
closed their season. It was said that Miss
Carrington expected to return to her
home in Chicago and that the wedding
would take place there in the early au
tumn. Then it was rumored that Miss
Carrington had signed a contract with
the stock company now playing at the
Vendome theatre in Nashville. Finally
it was authoritatively announced that
Mr. Weston and Miss Carrington had
| formed a stock company of their own.
I this combination reviving the rumor of
their engagement.
Miss Carrington and Mr. Weston have
been playing lover’s parts every even
Thg for weeks, and their loves scenes
have made the play. Peoplo do not like
cold love scenes. Miss Carrington is al
ways seen to the best advantage in
emotional roles. “Suzanne” in “A Scrap
of Paper” and “Young Mrs. Wlnthrop”
In “Society” suited her perfectly. Then
as “Martha Gibbs” in “The Factory
Girl’’ she has an emotional role. There
are several love scenes between her and
Mr. Weston.
Miss Carrington’s favorite costume on
the street is a dark blue skirt, very
clinging, and with this she wears a white
shirt waist with a modish stock. Her
hat is rather large, the broad brim en
circled with a long, dark blue ostrich
plume.

MANAGEMENT OF
CONVICT BOREAD
r
JUDGE CARMICHAEL SHOWS THAT
UNDER JELKS THE REVENUE
FROM IT HAS BEEN VASTLY IN
CREASED.
The following statement from Judge J.
M. Carmichael, president of the board of
convict inspectors, will be read with in
terest at this time:
During Governor Johnston’s adminis
tration two contracts. were approved by
him, one in 1896 and one in 1897, at $3 per
month for each convict. These contracts
called for fifty male colored convicts
each. The first contract was to expire De
cember 31, 1901, and the second February
1, 1902. Fourteen months before the expi
ration of these contracts Governor John
ston approved new contracts made with
these same parties for fifty male con
victs and twenty-five female convicts at
$3 per month for each convict. These lat
ter contracts were made respectively on
October 24, 1900, and November 21, 1900,
and wore to continue respectively for
three and five years. These contracts
were to begin January 1, 1901, but no fe
male convict was ever delivered under
these contracts, although there waa a
large number who might have been so
delivered. Prior to the making of these
latter contracts in 1900, as shown by other
contracts made and on file, convicts were
in good demand at $10 per month each.
It follows, therefore, that the 100 male
convicts covered by these contracts were
in fact worth $10 per month each.
Fifty male convicts for three years
should have netted the state, at $10 per
month each, $18,000; at $3 per month each
the state would receive $5400, making a
loss to the state of $12,600.
Fifty male convicts for years should
have netted the state, at $10 per month
each. 130,000; at $3 per month each the
state would have received $9,000, making
a loss to the state on five-year contract
$21,000.
Under the administration of Governor
Samford and Jelks these two contracts
were reformed, after diligent effort, and
the contractors required on compromise
to pay $5 per month for these same con
vlcs, and the state will make on the
first contract for three years 13,600 and on
the five-year contract, which was abridg
ed to a two-year contract, $2400, being
$2 per month for each convict, in addi
tion to the amount originally agreed to be
paid under the contract.
About March. 1900, a contract was made
and approved by Governor Johnston for
150 male convicts at $4 per month. These
convicts were worth $10 per month each.
In June, 1901, this contract was reformed
and the contractor was required on com
promise to pay $f* per month each.
One hundred and fifty male convicts for
three years and ten months should have
netted the state at $10 per month each,
509.000; 150 convicts for three years and
ten months would only net the state at $4
per month each, $27,000, making a loss to
the state of 131.400.
This contract was reformed in June,
1901, and the contractors required on
compromise to pay $6 per month and
the state will make $2 per month for the
remaining three years and ten months
of said contract, which will amount to
$13,800.
It is fair to state that frequently con
tractors do not have their full comple
ment of hands, but the figures above
named are approximately correct.
A considerable number of female con
victs have been subsequently leased to
a contractor for cotton mill at $4 per
month. Except as stated above the pres
ent administration has never leased a
male convict at less than $10 per month.
The following tables snow a compara
tive statement of the condition of the
convict department for the years 1900
and 1901. the last year of Governor John
ston's administration and the first year
of Governor Jelks’ administration:
