QUIET is RESTORED.
No Further Trouble Reported at Dam
Vile, uI.-Militia Force
Reduced.

Danville, ILL.,, July 27.-With four
companies of the Seventh Illinois in
fantry on guard the city is now quiet
after race war Saturday night in
which two men were killed and II
wounded. The trouble grew out of an
alleged attack on a white woman by a
negro named James Wilson. A mob
gathered for the purpose of lynching
the accused man, and in the attack
on the Jail John D. Mayfield, another
colored man, shot and killed Henry
Galterman. He was dragged to death
and his body hacked to bits and
burned. The attack on the jail to get
Wilson was then resumed and Sheriff
Whitlock fired upon the mob, wound
ing number and causing it to dis
perse about two o'clock Sunday morn
ing
Danville, Ill.,, July 30. = Eleven ar
rests we're made Wednesday afternoon
for participation in the lawless out
break of Saturday night, when the Jail
was attacked in an effort to lynch James
Wilson, a negro, who, it is alleged, as
grand jury has been ordered to recon-
vene on Monday to indict the leaders of
the mob. OF those arrested only one
gave bond. A guard has been placed
around the hospital where five men, who
were members of the mob, are receiving
treatment for their wounds
Danville, ILL.,, July 31.-The inquest
into the death of w D. Mayf1eld, the
negro who was lynched on Saturday

death at the hands of persons I'M

MORE THAN A SCORE KILLED
Terrible Result of an Explosion at
South Lowell, Mass.
Many Buildings Are Wrecked by the
Shock, Which Is Felt for Miles
City in a Panic.

Lowell, Mass, July 80. - Without
warning and in the twinkling of an eye
probably upwards of score of persons
and possibly more were blown to death
Wednesday forenoon by an explosion
Of the United States Cartridge COM
pany's magazine on the banks of the
Concord river, in South Lowell, three
miles from the center of the city The
number Of injured is 80, although others
were slightly cut by glass and burned.
At two p. m. the list of dead stood at Is,
with nine missing.
Ten or dozen wooden dwellings,
which stood in the vicinity of the pow
der and dynamite storehouses were
either demolished by the explosion or
destroyed by fire, and 20 other structures
were more or less seriously damaged
The financial loss exclusive of that sus-
tanned by the cartridge company, is
roughly estimated at $40 000 only small
part of which is protected by insurance.
Cause of Explosion.
The explosion was caused by work
men who were employed about the store
fngs owned by the company were two
small brick structures, one used for
storing dynamite and the other powder.
So powerful was the large quantity Of
explosive in storage that the shock of
the conclusion was distinctly felt all
over northeastern Massachusetts. In
Lowell many windows were demolished
OF ;c+o ole
also shattered. The conclusion was felt
in Boston, 40 miles away, and at Exeter,
N. H., which is a greater distance from
Lowell.
City I'm a Panic.
The city was thrown into a panic
and it required every effort of the au-
thorities to establish and maintain any
thing like order 1t became necessary
to summon four companies of the state
militia Alarming reports to the effect
that over 100 persons had been killed
and injured caused widespread confu-
sion.
The wreck caused by the explosion
covers an extent of three acres. Houses.
barns and outbuildings lay in a ruined
state, some half demolished, others
hardly more than heap of broken tim
bers, still others smoking from the re-
cent fire.
No More Deaths Reported.
Lowell, Mass, July 31.-No further
deaths among the injured by the
magazine explosion of Wednesday in
South Lowell had occurred at the hos
pitfalls where those most seriously in
jured were taken. The condition of
Clarendon Goodwin, so years DID, who
was in charge of the United States
Cartridge company's employees at the
storehouses, is most critical. He is
unconscious most of the time. Mr.
Goodwin is the man who endeavored
to remedy a leakage of nitroglycerin,
and whose act in pouring nitric acid
in mistake for water on the leakage is
thought to have caused the explosion.
Allowing for possible deaths among
those injured, it is not anticipated
that the death list will exceed Is.
