Identity the Unfortunate 3Ien.
Nome, July 10, via Seattlis, Wash.,
July 22. A tragic story ccmes from St.
Michael. A party of men en route to
Nome found the bodies of BIX men at a
point near Cape Romanofr. It is pre
sumed that they all froze to death .last
winter.
i Tho bodies were scattered at inter
vals five of them ' about a half mile
apart. They were outstretched upon
the tundra and each was found wrapped
in blankets. Each had some camp
equipment near him but no, food. One
of the dead men had evidently either
been dead or injured, as he lay on a lit
ter constructed of a pair of oars and a
canvass sheet. It would seam that a
storm overcame the men carrying him.
Evidently becoming exhausted, they
had abandoned him, and wandered off
to perish where found.
General Randall has ordered soldier?
to bring in the bodies land every effort
will be made to identify them. General
JRandall thinks they were a party of
prospectors who, in an effort to reach
Sc. Michael, had run out of provisions
and perished from exhaustion and ex
posure. '

Spokane, Wash., July 23. The 7-year-old
daughter and the 8-year-old son
of the late Judge Brady have again dis
appeared from Rathdrum, . Ida. Their
uncle, Frank Pine, of Keswick, la., and
their father's housekeeper. Miss Camp
bell, have also disappeared and it is be
lieved they have abaucted the children,
who, up to Saturday, were with them.
Father Purcell, parish priest of the
Rathdrum Catholic church, acting un
der, authority of the will filed in the
probate court, made a formal demand
Saturday upon Pine for the children.
Pine said he would first consult his
attorney. Later the prosecuting attor
ney of the county sued out a writ of
habeas corpus, demanding that Pice
appear in court Tuesday to show by
what authority he retained possession'
of the children. ,
The trouble over the children arose
over the fact that they were baptized as
Catholics a week ago at their dying
father's bedside. Judge Brady was a
Catholic. His wife, now two years
dead, was a Methodist. Pine, her
brothef, objected to the children being
baptized, saying a , promise had been

not be made Catholics. ''

BIRMINGHAM MILLS BUSY.
Manufacturing Interests In That City
and Distriet Are Prosperous. ,
Birmixoham, Ala., Jnly 22. There is
no cause for any special complaint in
this district, the manufacturing inter
ests of the district being at full tilt and
all wheels turning. The rolling miljs
are giving steady work to a large force
of men, and tomorrow the steel plant at
tho rolling mills will be manufacturing
a supply of steeL There are more blast
furnaces, in operation now than were
running two weeks ago, and the pig
iron production of the state is greater
by more than 100 tons of iron a day
than a month a ga i
There are indications that the demand
for pig iron will be better , in the near
future, while some improvement, is
noted in the coal mart. There are : but
three mines in the state where there are
differences between capital and labor
and less than 800 men are affected in
all of them. There are more than 40,000
.miners at work, while the railroads are
doing a heavier traffic in this district,
both passenger and freight, than this
time last year. The various industries,
such as foundries and machine shops,
woodworking establishments and oth
ers, are doing well and are giving steady
employment to a large complement of
men, all told.
Some heavy payrolls are being experi
enced in this district and much money
is going on deposit in the banks Of Bir
mingham and those in the suburbs.
SHIPMENTS OF IRON. !
Southern Field 31akes Good Showing
For Past Six 3Iox.ths.
Birmingham, Ala., July 23. The
shipments of iron and iron pipe from
the southern field during the ' first half,
of the present year made a very satis
factory showing. This territory em
braces Alabama and Tennessee, and lis
under the control of the southern iron
committee. 1
For the time mentioned the shipments
of pir iron from the entire field were
760,903 tons, an increase of the first six
months of 1900 of 71,395 tons. From
tne Birmingham district 420,879, a de
crease of 5,537 tons. There were shipped
during this period 79,910 tons of cast
iron pipe, 48,101 tons better than last
year. The Birmingham district sent
out 31,049 more than in 1900, or 40,426
tons in alL j
The exports were as follows: For first
six month 3 of 1901, 18,374 tons of pig
iron and 1,589 tons of pipe, being 34,595
tons less than last year of iron and 8,004
less of pipe. !
The tonnage out of the district, it will
be seen, is considerably above that of
last year. The outlook for the last half
of 1901 is that it will be heavier than the
first.
The falling off in the export business
is due to the good condition of the do
mestic market. .
