Though the city of Wilmington is still
under martial law and troops are pa
trolling the streets, good order pre-.
walls and no further trouble between
the races is feared. Certainly rioting
among the negroes is at az end, ard the
authorities are now turning their at
tention to preventing excuses on the
part Of the white people. To this end,
all citizens, except soldiers on duty
and the special police force, will be re-
quired to at once lay down their arms,
preserve the peace and thereby aid the
city government 10 restoring order.
This course has been strongly advised
by conservative citizens and adopted
yesterday by the Board of Aldermen,
in Iint session with the citizens com
miEtee. On az journment OF the board,
Mayor Waddell issued the following
proclamation:
The comparatively few persons in
this city who seem disposed to abuse
the opportunity of carrying arms
which recent events afforded, and who
are doing some very foolish talking,
are hereby notified that no further tur
bulence or ~disorderly conduct will be
tolerated. They are notified that a
regular police force will preserve order
and every ~peacea5le citizen, black and
white, will be protected in his person
and property.
mo armed patrol, except those au
thorized by the chief of police, will ap
pear on the Streets.
