mincron is still under martial law. IN
five companies of troops have relieved
the three hundred special police at sun
down. and are tonight patrolllng the city.
Hardly Il negro can be seen on the
streets and very few white people are
away from their homes. This Is III ac-
cordance with Il proclamation issued TINS
afternoon by Mayor Naddell.
All citizens except the special police
force have agreed to lay down their
arms tonight. preserve the peace and
do all i'm their power to aid the city GOV
ernment in restoring order.
Rioting so far as the negroes is con
cerned is at an md. and no further trou-
bic from that quarter IS expected.
Fusionists have Sown Radical rule in
New Hanover county. They have reapei
violence and bloodshed. Just exactly
what the awful harvest has been III tins
city no one can say tonight. Perhaps 1t
will never be known. The best authorizes
fix the number of dead at six, and num-
Der of wounded ut ten. This. however.
is but an estimate. Six dead bodies have
been found and identified. Seven wound
ed negroes and two white men have
been taken to the city hospital. The dead
all of whom are negroes are, so far
as known as follows:
William Mazona. John l.. Gregory.
Chas. Lidsay. John Townsell. Josh Hal
sey. Daniel Wright.
Wright is the negro who
shot William H. Mayo. 4 whit
man. \ crowd followed Wright
home after he shot Mayo and put thir-
teen bullets in him. Despite his wounds
he lived i'll the city hospital until seven
o'clock this morning. Carter Peaman
was one of the first negro leaders ar
rested and put in Jail. On account of
some services Peaman had rendered
white people here in the past, he was
last night given his liberty on condition
he would leave the city. He went to
South Carolina.
KILLED AND WOUNDED.
In addition to those above named there
are said to be some three or four more
who are known to have been shot down
at various places in the city Thursday,
but who are u~naccounted for in the list
Of either killed or wounded. 1t is gene1-
ally believed here that the list of fatali-
ties will reach a dozen, perhaps, or
more. The wounded negroes now in
the city hospital are John r. Davis. shot
III hack and kidneys; John Daw, shot in
two places: George Miller, shot in two
places: Geo. Henry Davis, shot II three
places; Alfred White. William Lindsay,
Samuel NJ. Farland. The last three We're
admitted to the hospital to-day. They
are not seriously wounded. The two
Davis are probably fatally wounded.
Daw and Miller are badly but not Sc
riOusly wounded. No white men was
killed. though it is not certain that Will
liam Mayo, who was shot through the
lung. will recover. Only two others,
George Piner and y. 3. Chadwick, were
wounded. Their hurts are slight. Piner
has a flesh wound in the abdomen and
Chadwick's hurt is in the the right arm.
Since the killing of Il negro near the
railroad early this morning by a sol
der there has been no shooting here to-
day. Work of another and much needed
kind has been going on. People of the
city have been Kidding themselves of
the leaders who are responsible 70. the
mlSrule of the past few years. and the
bloodshed of Thursday.
