Race Riots in the South.

Recently q train with cOlorpd cxcursiOnists
arrived at the Gouldsboro depot in Gretna
from Baton Rouge, La. large number OF
people were on the streets, owing to an
alarm of fire. Many coored men and women
we're near the depot awaiting the train. AS
the train neared the depot one of the excur-
sonists, in attempting to jump off, fell to
the ground. Some unknown person cried
Look at the black DEVIL whereupon the
negro drew pistol and fired
four or five shots, one of the
bullets piercing the nose ola white man nam
ed Miller, q brother of one Of the Gretna pO-
lice lodging in the back OF the neck. Shoot
ing now began general, some 400 or 800
shots being fired in less than fifteen minutes
4 terrible panic prevailed. Men women and
children ran in all directions screaming wi tn
their lunch baskets, hats, and losing their
shoes, etc. Ed. Levy (cOlOred) of Algiers
was shot in the left arm, and q cOIored wo-
man named Fleming was fatally shot in the
back
The stories of the row and it's origin
differ very widely, The negroes
say that before the arrival of the
train there was large force of armed white
men awaiting its arrival. and that some ten
minutes after the train had stopped and
after q portion of the eXcursiOnists had
reached the street cars. and while others
were still on board the train, white men,
without any sort of prOvOCatiOn, opened fire
on the crowd. The white mems version of
the affair as given by eye witnesses differs
very materially from that Of the negroes.
They state that there were only some half
dozen white men concerned in the affair, and
that the shooting was commenced by the
negroes before the train had stopped.
News is also received of a small race war
near Shell Mound, Miss. A telegram from
Greenwood says: Ourl sheriff received infor-
nation from Sunnysdc fifteen miles above
Shell Mound, that there we're five hundred
negroes massed in the johnson field near
there and help was needed. He wired
the governor the situation and asked for
troops, which was responded to promptly
by Gov. Lowry in person, bringing with him
five companies OF militia. Gov. Lowry has
two companies to Sunnyside to report to the
sheriff who went up there to see if he could
do anything with the negroes. The steam
boat running between here and Sharkpy has
just come in, bringing number of women
and children. Gov. Lowry cautions the PEG
| pie to be free from all violence and not VIC
! late the law in any particular. but assist the
! county authorities to enforce it. There have
been several reports from the scene Of the
trouble, one of which was that the negroes
had left the vicinity of Sunnyside, breaking
up in small bands Of twenty or thirty and
seemed to be sulky and mad.
