 Riots
OVER THE LABOR TROUBLE
Which Has Been on in That City for Some Time,

NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-There were two separlte and distinct riots here today, both probably resulting from the same plan. One occurred on the river front near the French market, where the ship Eugi- neer was loading for Liverpool. The other occurred about four miles distant in the direction of Carrolton, at the foot of Phillip street. Only one man, William Campbell, colored, was killed in this af- fair.

 THE FIRST RIOT.
 Another bloody riot occurred this morn- ing. The scene of the conflict was on tue river front, between St. Ann and Dumaine streets. Three men were killed almost outright, while number were wounded.
 The killing was done by a mob of white men mum bering about 200, who were armed with pistols and Winchester rifles. The negroes were about to start to work on board the steamship Engineer, lying at that point, when white men approached from all directions. All were armed and many took positions behind box cars and poured vollsy upon volIey into the negroes. Those on the scene say that 1t reminded them of battle field, so fast and furious was the firing. The negroes
 WERE GIVEN NO QUARTER and were shot down like dogs. Not only were the darkies shot down, but several in- nocent persons suffered.
 Among those killed was Jules Clice Cara bee, a shoemaker, who happened to be in the vicinity. ea
 James Bane, the purser of the Engineer, !. was standing on the -leyee near his ship when the attackewas mace and he received four wounds, three ia the head and an other In the arm. He was fired upon by several men, who aimed over the heads of three policemen who were kneeling behind some freight just on the edge of the wharf. His wounds may prove fatal.
 As near as can be stated the shooting oc- cured a few minutes after O 'clock. There was dense fog prevailing, and this af- forded the white men an excellent chance to do their bloody work. At the time there were
 ONLY SIX POLICEMEN on the scene, but there were no arrests ef- fected, as the police were as badly fright ened as the negroes. The attackers were composed of two parties. large number of men appeared at the corner Of Dumalne street, while equally as large mob came from the corner of St. Ann street. Corporal Devanney, who was in charge of the handful of policemen, ordered the men to disperse, but no attention was paid to him, and the mob began to grow larger every minute. Suddenly shot was fired. This had startling effect on the mob. The first report was followed by five or six shots, and then the
 FIRING BECAME GENERAL. The smoke and the fog combined made the scene almost as dark as night. The negroes were on board the ship and had when the attack was made. The negroes | were taken completely by surprise. They ran about like lot of wild animals and their cries were pitiful. Many sought refuge aboard the ship, while some ran down the wharf and made their escape. One negro, it is stated. jumped under the wharf.
 It is i'm possible to estimate the number of shot fired, but it is said that there were about 200. After the bloody work the men hurried of as fast as they came. The attackers fired recklessly on all sides, not caring whom they shot. The white men |, in body, moved along the levee up town unmoested. After their departure large number of police under the command of Sergeant Day made their appearance on the scene and cleared the wharf of the large crowds which gathered.
 WHERE CARAEEE FELL. It was known that many men had been wounded and several killed and a search was made for these persons by the police and others. Carabee was found dead on the bapquette in front of one of the show windows of Lions' clothing store at the corner of St. Ann and Decatur streets. Blood was gushing from a terrible wound in his head and he was quite dead. No one seemed to know how or where he was shot. He was running back to St. Ann street and just as he reached the banquette he staggered and fell headiong to the pave. meut. He expired few minutes later.
 TWO DEAD NEGROES. Sergeant Hevron, who hurried up from the precinct to the scene, had the bodies oi two negroes sent to the morgue in the patrol wagon. One of the negroes was found on the levse at the head of St. Louis street. The man was dead and lay in
