A bloody riot occurred at Goldsboro' to-
day. About 5000 negroes arrived ther'
from Newbefn and the lower counties OF
an excursion train, chartered by the Re
publican State executive committee, to att
tend mass meeting, at which Congress
man Thomas, ex-senator Abbott, Marcus
Erwin and r. c. Badger were to be the
speakers. There were few white people
in town. Many Of the negroes came IN
toxicated. The police arrested. one tnrhu-
lent negro, and while on the way to the
guard house with this prisoner the ne
sroes rallied and rescued him. The col
ored police fired at the prisoner, who was
recaptured and taken by the police to the
Exchange Hotel. About one thousand OF
the negro mob, with clubs and pistols,
rallied to the hotel, attempting another
rescue. The riot commenced by the ne
eroes throwing brickbats at the police,
and using clubs, when cross firing began
between the police and mob. The white
people forbore, but are now armed for the
emergency. There is great excitement.
About thirty or more shots were fired
three or more whites were hurt one
negro killed, and one colored policeman
killed and two wounded. 4 committee ci
