ing in bringing about settlement.
After a very brief conference late
last night with Commissioner of Labor

dent of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad left the city, nothing being
given out as the result of his visit,
Negro firemen today occupied seats
opposite white engineers on the diff
ferent mail trains that are operated
over the Georgia railroad. If the en-
gineers have objection to these men
because of their color there has been
no indication of it. But out on the
line the feeling is unmistakable and
it is decidedly adverse to the presence
of negro firemn. Thousands of pa
irons of the Georgia railroad between
Atlanta and Augusta are in sympathy
with the striking firemen and their
sympathies, as has been demonstrated
within the last few days may get the
better of their judgment. The vio-
lence at Lethonia last night wss
known within an hour in almost every
town along the Georgia railroad. Ev-
eryone of the mail trains sent out to-
day carried United States postoffice
inspectors. as was the case yesterday,
and it is realized that an overt act
directed against member of the crew
on one of these trains will result in
still further and more serious com-
plications. The postal authorities state
very positively this morning, however,
that they do not anticipate trouble.
The mail train which left for Au-
gusta this morning had for its firman
non-union white man instead of
negro. as is usual on trains run to
and fro from Atlanta yesterday.

GruesOme Finds Made.
The shock of the terrible misfor-

the people in stupor for time, but
the work of rescue was Immediately
taken up with the abatement of the
tornado. Sad, indeed, were the finds
made by the rescueing parties. The
dead and injured were found in the

caught beneath the debries of their
homes, others being carried far from
their places of abode. A drenching
rain followed the tornado and served
to help the rescuers in their work.
1t was sorrowful night for Lang

PURE BRED STOCK SALE.
Prices Obtained Not As Large Al
Those at Calgary.

Brandon, Man., May 2S-The pres
ent strength of the live stock situa-
ton in. the west was to some ex-
tent reflected in the prices obtained
at the fifth annual provincial auction
sale of pure bred cattle held in the
winter fair building here yesterday
afternoon and an advance on last
years figures were recorded. The Of
ferings were not characterized by
either quality or fitness, though there
were a number of good individuals.
The prices obtained by Auctioneer T.
proximated the value of the animals
though they were somewhat less than
those obtained at the corresponding
sales this spring in Regina and Cal
gary. Twenty-nine bulls were sold
for $2,965, an average price of $102.25.
Four females brought an average of
500 and the average for the thirty
three animals sold was $101.80 as
against $113.37 for the forty head sold
at Regina last March.
Champion Sold.
The top price of the sale was
brought by two bulls, one being Sir
William Van Horne's Prince Royal Of
Selklrk, the champion Dull OF the
show held yesterday morning, and the
other Fairview Lad, owned by John
Shields. Each Of these animals sold
for $175, another brought $40 and
two others $165 piece.
The attendance Of buyers was not
30 large as usual, doubtless due to the
fact that seeding in many districts is
not yet completed. There were. how
ever, Just about enough buyers to care
for the offerings, and only six or seven
animals remained unsold.
Geo. Allison Of Burbank, president
of the Cattle Breeders association of
Manitoba; Geo. H. Greig, western rep
resentative of the Dominion live stock
commission, and Principal Black of
the Manitoba agricultural college, each
spoke for a few minutes before the
