ATLANTA SPIRIT' DRIVES
 UMPIRE SHUSTER FROM FIELD

doors. and during it Sinister was spir- ited away into the darkness.
 When asked why he called the game, shuster said:
 Even the Atlanta men. said that they could not see the ball."
 When asked later If he would be on hand for Wednesdays game, ne said:
 Sure my. schedule calls for me. to umpire tomorrow, and I'll be there.
 While Shuster's decision was rather the worst that the writer or anybody else at the same gn had eve ever seen, ,,,i,,,'l s5,il attempted assault on Shuster, nor for the demonstration which followed.
 A ball player is not justified in hit ting an umpire under any circnmsl lances Smiths blows had landed. Shuster could have put the local manager Tn a decidedly awkward, position. It IS always well to remember tnai assauir- ar- ganized baseball, no matter what the provocation may be.
 As for the men who followed shus- ter-well, 1t seems as g tn tnougn ssgsa .hen, thera from anything so ridiculous. Evident- iy no man in the crowd had any serious intentions against his umps, for a dozen The crowd which followed him went along in tfe hope that somebody else would do something. But evidently not a man had the necessary nerve
 Such scenes, however, are likely to be nisinterpreted outside of Atlanta and 1t is hoped that the one Tuesday concludes the record of such perform ances for the season.
 It seems that intimidating the umpire Is the Atlanta spirit
 A few days ago Charlie Campau was oniv saved from bodily harm at the hands of the fair dealing" people of "A Er-- gal a hAfWAHn Memnhis and Atlanta at the time agreed on by the two managers, before satns the 2 train, Now shuster Is not only mob bed at the paEk.Manager ,srd smith has tako to escort him to town. The mob followed him and there is another dwisgraeefni w was a fist fight between a policeman and a member of the mob who thirsteu for the umpire gore.
 And this Is in the town where news papers called the Montgomery people kcannibals, barbarians" and other un- pleasant names because of a similar Incident here

COAST LINE STRIKE
BLACKsnfTTHs HAVE NOT RETURN
 ED TO WORK AT SHOPS.
Master Mechanic\ Mcesehee, Hopes to Put Men Who Suffered From Strike Back to Work
 Eo0n


 After two weeks since the strike of the six blacksmiths at the shops of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, the com pany and the former workmen seem to be as Tar from coming to an agree nnent as they were previous to the day pr the walkout. None of the six who left when their demand for an in- crease in wages was refused has re- turned. and the majority of them have left the city.
 The only change that has taken place in the work of the shops has been in the discharge of fifty laborers in other lines of work. whom it has been necessary to let go, because their wopk depended on the work of the men who had quit. These men were boilermakers and machinists.
 Since the strike. Master Mechanic W. J. McGehee has been working to secure men to fill the places of those who have left the employment of the road. Thus far, however: he has been unable to secure the men he wants, and as consequence, the men in other lines of work who were laid off on &C., count of the strike. have not been taken on again.
 Notwithstanding that workmen have not been found to take the places of the strikers. it is expected by the Master Mechanic that within a few days he will have secured the men he Is after. As soon as b1acksmfths have been secured and brought to Montgomery, the men who have been laid off, will return to work.
 At the present time. the work of the shops Is being carried on by the diminished force, the b1acksmithing being done at other shops along the line. By securing help in this man. ner. Master Mechanic McGehee declar- es that he has been able to keep the work of the shops up to the de- mand

City Court Fines Negro For the Of-
 fense.
 Officials of the railroads running in- to Montgomery are determined to break up the practice of stealing rides on their freight and passenger trains, and of indulging in the sport of jumping on or off trains as they come into the city. To this end their yard watchmen have been on the alert for such violators of the criminal code and have succeeded in landing many of them behind the bars
 The first of these arrests to bear fruit at the present term of the Criminal Di- vision of the City Court was in the case of negro, Augustus Strong. who was yesterday fined $50 and costs for his offense.
 Julius Rudolph and John Queen. the two negroes who were accused of the theft of several pistols from a case in the freight house of the Louisville ana Nashville Railroad. have been released. Rudolph was found not glulty and the case against Queen was mol pressed,
 Dock Moore. alias Niblett, a negro, was tried on an indictment charging assault to murder. but the jury only brought in a verdict of guilty of assault and battery with a weapon. He at tackled Ishman Huffman several months ago. T. J. Gray confessed Judgment for the prisoner and he was released.
 Lula Nichols. negress. was found guilty of grand larceny. She was in- dicted for stealing jewelry and wear ing apparel from D. Lieurance. Lula Powell, another negress. was also found guilty on a grand larceny in- dictment rH

The first bale of 1906 cotton for the Montgomery market and probably the first bale in the State of Alabama, was consigned to Marks and Gayle by the telephone yesterday morning by M. |. Metcalf of Hartford. Geneva County.
 The cotton was grown by M r. Metcalf and 1t was shipped to Mont, gomery yesterday It may be severai days in reaching Montgomery.
 The quality of the cotton was not known by Marks and Gayle, but at this season of the year. and after sucn heavy rains, 1t is not believed tnat the staple can be of very hign grade. It will be stored with Marks and Gayle by the grower.
 The earliest cotton received in Mont gomery since 1899 was in 1902 when q bale reached Montgomery on July 30. The earliest for Mobile was on August g, 1905. Selma has the record, having received bale of new cotton on July 27, 1902. Eufaula received new bale on July 29. 1905. Montsom- cry received its first bale last year on August 8. .,~u.
