RIOT IN WILSON.
The Private Signal Rallies the armeu
Forces Of the Whites.

WILSON, y. c., NOV. 9.-Speclal.-Ihe
cheering OF the victorious whites over
their recent glorious victories was
brought to an abrupt close this afternoon
at $3.50, when suddenly the preconcerted
danger signal pealed forth. 1t seemed
that an alteration arose between Mr..
John l.. Hare and a negro, which resulted
i'm Mr.. Hare being Knocked down with a
chair. AS soon as the blow was struck
the negro fled, hotly pursued by pc
liceman, keeping up fusilade as he ran.
The negro was quickly joined by a num-
Der OF others all well armed and the oiil-
Ger was dehed. Finding himself so BABY
outmatched he sounded the alarm, and In
an instant the streets were dark with
securing men, each having a deadly Win
chester toward the rendezvous.
The tension was increased by the report
that the negroes. armed and in force,
were moving upon the town by way OF
the back streets. Those first upon the
scene added to the confusion and made
painful the tension by discharging sew
eral shots in quick succession TO hurry
their slower companions TO their posts.
Almost before those not understanding
the signals could realize what had taken
place two hundred men under the leader

Now IS the time for every man oil pusl-

is much to be done. The consumption

Is no cessation of work in the great
