evidence of sincere friendship and cor

IN CHARGE OF TROOPS.

A dispatch from Danville, ILL.,, says:
Two killed and % wounded, the police
station wrecked, the county Jail with few
of its windows left unshattered, the city
in the hands of the State troops and a
feeling of uneasiness and dread prevail
ing everywhere is the situation left by
the race riots of Saturday night and
early yesterday morning in Danyille as
a result of an attempt by mob to lynch
the negro Wilson, who assaulted Mrs.
Burgess. After daylight appeared yes
terday morning there we're restless crowds
on the streets and each surrounding town
continued to swell the crowds. There
were many miners seen on thestreets and
and great unrest and threatening atti-
tude was reported from Westyille, five
miles away. Early in the morning
Wilson, the negro assailant of Mrs. Bur
CESS, was secretly taken from the county
Jail. but was returned shortly afterward.
Four companies of militia arrived yester-
day morning from Springfield in reply
to urgent requests sent to State officials.
The troops marched to the markethouse
opposite the Jail and camped. The
streets were cleared. There we're sullen
threats heard, but no attempt at an out
break was manifested during the day.
Last night 100 sentinels were patrolling
the streets in the immediate vicinity Of
the Jail, each soldier carrying 40 rounds
of ammunition. Sheriff Whitlock says he
himself was the only man who shot into
the mob. When the Jail was attacked
the sheriff said he became alarmed for
the safety Of his wife and children, and
considered that he was justified in shoot
ing, although he was careful to shoot
only in the hands or legs. Leading citi-
zens say the outbreak has been expected
for long time, as a bitter feeling has
existed for several years between the
negroes and a certain class of white per-
sons. A number of minor outbreaks
have occurred during the past year.

The King at Belfast.

Belfast, July 27.--King Edward and
Queen Alexandra arrived here today
in adrizzling rain. Despite the weather,
however, an enormous crowd was
gathered at the station and their majes-
ties we're accorded a great reception.
Replying to an address by the munich
pality the King said his highest ambi-
ton was to make the good of the people,
the prosperity Of his realm and the MAIN
tenance of peace his contant aim.
The King unveiled statue OF the late
Queen Victoria in City Hall, and then
their majesties opened the new Royal

latter place, while passing through
Grosvenor street, the Kings carriage
ran over woman, injuring her seriously.

THE VIOLENCE which is growing III
this country is naturally causing
anxiety among lawabidingp people, as there
is no telling where it is to end or whose
life will be safe if lynchings keep
on the increase. The scenes in Dan
vile. Illinois, the lynchings in other
parts of the country, and attempted
lynchings take up large portions OF the
telegraphic departments of today's news
papers. 1t seems that one of the victims
of mob law was a woman and IN another
instance an innocent man was strung
up and his. body riddled with bullets.
Human beings supposed to know the
,-hereabouts of ravishers were recently
murdered bv a mob while they were pro-
testing their ignorance OF the hldlng
,,laces of the refugees, and in other cases
men who had been tried by juries and
given terms of imprisonment have Deeh
taken from prison and become victims OF
the thirst for blood. The apprehension
in Kentucky in connection with the Mar
cum murder is still attracting attention.
We are told that violence filled the
earth before the flood and that similar
scenes will characterize the end of the
present dispensation. Itlooks as though
some are striving to precipitate such an
order of things.
