Thick and Fast From a Train
on the G eOrgia Central
Occupied by COlOred Immunes
Returning Home.
VOLLEY UPON VOLLEY
Poured Into Towns and Houses
Along the Route.
Citizens and Militia Return
the Fire at Griffin.

Atlanta, Ga, March 9.-The Tenth
immunes (colored), Col Jones, who
were mustered out at Macon yesterday,
began to show their ill temper as soon
as the train bearing the negroes home
began to move out of Macon. Produc-
ing revolvers and other arms, which
they in some way managed to smuggle
with them, they began firing from their
windows.
Bullets flew in every direction as the
train sped on, and passers-by We're
compelled to seek shelter. Luckily only
one person was shot in Macon, Will
Goodyear, a 16-year-old white boy,
whose arm was fractured by ball.
AS the train passed the various stations
on the road the riOting was renewed,
shots being fired from the train at peo-
pie standing on the platforms TO see
the train go by.
At Griffin, Ga, where the first section
of the train stopped, occurred the most
serious trouble of the day. The regi-
ment came over the Central Georgia
railway in three sections. When the
train stopped at Griffin, the negroes,
who by this time had filled up on
whisky, began firing their pistols and
yelling like Indians. Over two hundred
shots were fired and the police were
powerless to resist. The city was at
the mercy of the negroes, who kept up
u fusillade of shots until the train was
carried beyond the city limits.
The news of the outrageous conduct
spread rapidly over Griffin, and it was
determined that the next section of the
regiment should be held in check.
Mayor Davis ordered out the Griffin ri
ffes on his own responsibility, as there
was no time to lose. In addition to the
militia. the mayor deputiZed nearly
hundred citizens to assist the officers
in preserving the peace and protecting
the city. About $40 the second section
came in sight and above the roar of the
train could be heard the rattle of fire
arms which were being discharged in
discriminatory.
When the train came to standstill
the negroes saw two hundred heavily
keep quiet. The negroes were awed and
lambs. To those who proved fractions
cracked heads were administered. When
the train pulled out from the depot
and the negroes thought they were out
of reach of the citizens they began
firing at houses. At the first shot vol
ley was poured into the disappearing
train by the citizens and militia. I'm
fortunately George Age, trafnman,
was shot in the abdomen and fatally
wounded and one negro was clipped on
the shoulder by a bullet AS the several
sections came into the union depot they
were met by the police reserve, heavily
armed The negroes were evidently
awed and gave the police no trouble.
The Tenth was recruited from all parts
of the country. The negroes for the most
part, however, are from North Carolina,
Georgia Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri
and Ohio. Nearly all of them were sent
out of Atlanta to their destinations be-
fore the night was over.

SHOT BY NEGRO SOLDIERS.
Riotous Conduct of Eighth Immunes
When Mustered Out

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 9.-The
Eighth United States immunes, negroes,
commanded by Colonel Higgins. were
mustered out of service yesterday.
About 500 of the discharged men, many
of whom were under the influence of
liquor, went home by the Nashville,
Chattanooga &, St. Louis road, and as
they were leaving the yards in this city
a number of the men, who had in some
way secured revolvers, began to dis
charge them into the air and into sheds
and vacant houses. A drunken sergeant
standing on the rear platform, fired
directly at w. w Harkins. car inspec-
tor of the Nashville road. the bullet
striking him in the right leg, and in
f1icting a very painful, though not SER
ious, wound. This was the signal for a
general fusillade, and several hundred
shots were fired Andrew Ledford, a
cOuntryman, who was standing near the
track, was shot in the face and serious
ly wounded.
A telegram was forwarded to Bridge
ford to stop the train, and an effort will
be made to secure the arrest of the riot
Gus soldiers.

SENATOR JONES' HEALTH
He Is Still in Very Precarious Con-
| dition.

Washington, March 9-Senator Jones
of Arkansas, chairman of the national
Democratic committee, is in precar-
ious condition owing to his liability to
another dangerous attack of heart
trouble at any time. AS is usually the
case in the intervals between attacks
of this nature, he is getting along very
well just now and today was in COM
paratively fair condition after good
nights rest, but is maintaining the ut
most caution and under strict orders
of his physician is avoiding any exer-
ton. This is a radical change for a man
of Senator Jones' active habits and he
naturally chafeS under it. His malady
angina pectOriS, is at best a grave one
and the outcome never can be foreseen.
So far, however there have been no
untoward complications in Senator
Jones case and there is a strong hope
that with absolute quiet and rest away
from his work for a considerable period
he may recover.

SEWERS FOR MEXICO.
Complete System Being Put in by a
French Firm.

City of Mexico, March 9.-The main
work on the new sewerage system of
the City of Mexico has been begun. The
contractors, a French firm, have four
years in which to complete the work,
but within a few days they will put on
a force of 1900 men and they expect to
earn a large bonus by finishing con-
struction in 80 months.
When the system is completed it is
prophesied that the City of Mexico will
have a lower death rate than any other
town of its size in the world. The con-
tract carries, also a huge pumping en-
gine, by means of which the sewers will
be thoroughly flushed once every "A
hours.

MENINGITIS SPREADS.
A Malignant Contagious Disease Has
Appeared in Topeka

Topeka is threatened with an epidem-
&c of cerebro-spinal meningitis. With the
past two weeks there have been several
deaths among children as a result of
this disease, and several cases are re-
ported in the city. The latest death was
that of Herbert Carfrae, the year old
son of Hugh Carfrae, billing clerk in
the Santa Fe store department, who
died this morning at o'clock.
With one or two exceptions all the
cases so far have been among children.
Physicians say that the disease is a
contagious, malignant fever due to a
germ not unlike that of pneumonia.
1t has appeared in many places in
Kansas and other western states.
