Between One and Two Hundred Visit
Toronto Fair.

One hundred and fifty-five persons
left this city Tuesday morning to at
tend the industrial fair at Toronto
and incidentally to visit our cousins
across the Lake.
The fair is certainly wonder ana
embraces everything from Il mustard
seed to d pumpkin, from type setting
machine to an iron farm horse, full of
steam, from sickle to a harvester,
from snail to a trotting horse, from
a candle to the most brilliant and
beautiful pyrotechnic display money
can afford, together with liquid air,
wireless telegraphy and much mora.

Knockout Blow in
Fierce Race War
in Georgia.
THE MILITIA HAS ASSEMBLED
A Thousand Negroes Are
Amassed at Darien But
Can Do Little Damage.

Darien, Ca, Aug. 26,-The roundup
of the riotous negroes in Mcintosh
county by the militia today resulted in
the surrender of Henry Delagal, the
murderer of Deputy Sheriff Townsend,
and the location for future arrest of
DelagaPs brother and the woman di-
rectly implicated in the killing.
DelagaPs surrender was made to
Lieut.. Wood, in charge of detachment
of 80 soldiers stationed for Is miles
about the country to back up the sher-
ifs posse, who were securing the
swamps. The swamps We're being
beaten closely, while the militia lined
out on the bluff. Delagal's aged moth
er came out of the swamp with re-
quest that Delagal be allowed to sur
render to the soldiers.
The arrest of DelagaI, who is the son
of the negro whose arrest preceded the
trouble, and the arrival of reinforce
ments for the militia seem to have bro
ken the backbone of the defiance of the
law by the negroes, A whole regiment
of troops is now on duty in and about
Darien, under command of Col. Law
ton, but it is not believed there will be
further bloodshed.
There has been a notable diminution
of extreme talk during the afternoon
The situation, however, is still critical
There are still several ringleaders of
the blacks wanted by the officers of the
law. Unless they come in and surren-
der or are brought in by their friends
and turned over to the authorities, the
troops will go after them tomorrow.
Col. Lawton, after communicating
with Gov. Gambler, ordered the Liberty
independent troop OF light cavalry here.
Col. Lawton also ordered the First regi-
ment, Georgia volunteers at Savannah,
to proceed to Darien. It arrived at 6
p. m.
1t has been reported here that 1000
negroes are in the vicinity of Delagals
house, having come from all parts of
Liberty and Mcintosh counties,
Col. Lawton late IN the afternoon or
dered the Fourth regiment, with two
companies at Brunswick, Valdosta,
Way Cross and other towns in this sec
tion to be prepared to move at a mo-
ment's notice. The soldiers at Bruins
wick and Way Cross are in their armor-
les, awaiting orders to proceed to Oar
len
The white people were aroused for
miles around, and came in during the
day in large numbers, and every avail
able white man in Mcintosh county was
deputized by Sheriff Blount. Still he
could not muster lar ge posse.
Business is suspended in Darien for
the time being, and it is reported that
farms in the country have been tenn
porarily abandoned.
