LITTLE CHANGE IN
MINE SITUATION
STRIKERS ARE GIVEN A WEEKS
SUPPLY OF PROVISIONS AT
PRATT cITY-THE PERSONAL
AND GENERAL NEWS.

Pratt City, October 27-tspecial)-A re-
view of the mine situation shows very
little change, so far as the Pratt division
is concerned, from the day that the
strike was declared Attempts have been
made by the company to start three OF
its mines In this division, which attempt
has met with only partial success 1t
is true that the company is getting out
coal at two of its mines with non-union
miners, but it is understood that the out
put is not satisfactory.
The strikers were given a weeks sup
ply of provisions from the eommissary to-
day They seemed to be in good spirits
and from remarks dropped by them 1t ap-
peared that all hopes of a settlement nave
net yet been abandoned.
The company on the other hand mas
men at work in Nos. l and 4. number
of men have also been at work In NO. Z
Everything has been gotten IN shape 1oi
a resumption, but so far as can be ascer'
tanned no coal has yet been hauled oVei

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
SWARM COLUMBUS
Large Class of Candidates for lnitia-
ton Handled BY Atlanta
Team.

Columbus. Ga, October 27.-(Special)-
Columbus surrendered Internationally :
day to the knights of Pythias who c'-p-
tured the town without firing gun.
At $50 O'Clock this afternoon special
train arrived from Atlanta bearing large
number of the dramatic order of the
knights of Khorassan. They came down
to Initiate into the order of Knights of
Khorassan 40 Columbus Pythians The
train was met at the depot by Columbus
company number ., uniform rank knights
OF Pythias and between the hours of $50
and 1880 the three companies and
knights of Khorassan paraded the streets
of Columbus.
The line of march was illuminated with
red lights. Those who took part in the
| parade carried red lights and the effect
was extremely weird and 1t is said more
| or less demoralizing 10 the 40 candidates
who had already begun to feel slightly
nervous. 1t was perhaps the first time
in the history of the city that Broad
street was the red light district of
| Columbus. Following the parade the py-
| thians assembled at their lodge room in
| the Masonic temple where the work of
initiating the fortunate forty began. Judg-
ing from the sounds that drifted out into
| the street from time TO time from the
| lodge room it was conjectured that In
| their wild race across the desert the
| camels sometimes became uncomfortable.

was served In copious quantities

been extremely impressive. The candi-
