BLOODY Rlor NEAR LANGLEY.
Dozen White Men Wounded Two Negroes
Shot to Death In JaiI.

Augusta, Ga, june 28.--There was a
serious riot on board the Southern Rail-
way train that left Augusta about %
O'Clock this morning. just before the
srain stopped at the water tank at Lang
icy, eight miles from Augusta, there was
some trouble between several negroes
and white man named John MCDANIEL.
ihe negroes had been drinking and were
In an ugly and boisterous mood. A fight
was, begun and pretty soon was general
between the white men and negroes in
the car. Pistols Rnd knives were called
into play by both sides, and the conduc-
tor pulled the train up to the station in the
hope of getting police help at Langley.
AS the train stopped at Langley some of
the combatants rushed out and the fight
ing between whites and blacks became
general on the train and all around the
station. The negroes engaged in the
fighting fled in all directions, and when
the smoke of battle cleared away there
were only two captured. There were
ten white men with pistol or knife
wounds.
When the train pulled out of the sta
tion some of the combatants were still
on board, and it is reported some were
turned over to officers at'Aiken and at
Graniteville. stations farther on.
Dr. w. q. Baker, of Langley, who with
an assistant attended all the wounded
men, reports one of the negroes named
Collins as cut to pieces, he having over a
dozen serious knife wounds about the
head and neck, but still having a living
chance. The other negro, Wratt Holmes,
was cut in the neck, but not danger
ously. His pistol had not been fred and
he claims to have taken no part in the
riot.
The wounded white men were Ony

found; dangerously. The others are not
seriously wounded. They are as follows:

left shoulder; Wyley Lowe, bad cash on
left shoulder; John Anderson, bullet
flesh wound below knee; @. b. Williams.
bullet in left jaw; Berry Davis, beat over
head with pistol.
The people of the town of langley and
from the surrounding country were
deeply outraged as the news spread, and
the indignation grew as the crowd in.
creased. Mutterings against the two
wounded negroes under arrest were
heard, and as the night came on and the
wounds of the.wbite men were discussed
the conviction grew that the two negroes
in the calaboose were in serious danger
Between II and IL o'clock the crowds
in the streets of Langley had been
greatly augmented by men coming in
from all directions and tho mob moved
on the calaboose.
Entrance was forced and when tho two
wounded negroes were discovered the
= crowd started emptying their pistols into
them and they were soon shot to death
1t is reported that half dozen negroes
were wounded In the original riot, but
only tn ESQ two were caught at Langley.
