decay of fortune, yesterday took his last
money and gave a splendid dinner in hon
or his nineteen-year-o daughters birth

Alter a brilliant career ana marriage

SPRINCFIELDIS
AGAIN REDEEMED
The Negro District Called 1.-The Levee' Fired by
a Mob Before Whom the Negroes
Shrink in Fear.

Levee district. but will offer no resistance
in the attempts to confine the fire to the
buildings along Washington street, known
as the Levee. These buildings are delapi-
dated frame structures.
1t is understood that the negro popu.
lation is highly incensed at Sheriff
Routzahn for not using greater force in
protecting Dixon. Sheriff Routzahn has
been warned that the instant the torch
was applied in Washington street he had
better remove his family from the Jail
as that institution was to be Immediately
dynamited. At midnight the entire block
in Washington street, from Gallagher
street west to Spring street, is on fire
with no hope of saving any of the build
ings.
While the eastern portion of the Levee
is doomed it is thought that the depart
ment will be able to confine the confas-
ration to the region east of Spring street.
Members of the mob openly declare that
when their work in the eastern Levee dis
trict is completed, they will transfer their
efforts to that portion west of the Big
Four station and the Arcade Hotel. This
portion of West Washington street is also
known as the Levee and the buildings are
similar to those in the eastern portion.
The arrival of the out-of-town militia
alone can save these buildings and a train
load of troops from several towns between
here and Cincinnati are momentarily ex-
pected. Apparently the negroes all over
the city are becoming intimidated and
their boasts made in the earlier part of
the evening are no longer heard.
A COMPANY ARRIVES.
The company Of militia from Xenia ar
rived at 1870 "wednesday mOrning) and
were Immediately sent towards the Levee
by circuitous route.
Company NJ, of the Fourth Regiment of
Xenia and Company D, of the Third
Regiment, of Urbana. are now picketed
along the Big Four Railway tracks, facing
the burning district along East Washing
ton street. There are 225 enlisted men in
each. at 12:45, O'Clock three cars at
tached to the east-bound Big Four train
brought Companies G and K of Dayton,
and Company. H Of Miamisburg They
were stationed at various points to pre-
vent ingress of either negroes or whites,
and so far as their scant numbers would
permit, will forestall any efforts to burn
the immediate business district. AT that,
however, there is grave danger of fire
starting in the great outlying districts
among the factories or dwelling houses
and ten times the number of troops now
on hand would be entirely insufficient to
prevent incendiariSn.
The fire in east Washington street has
burned out exactly the district the mob
said should go, and there is now no
danger of it spreading either further east
or west or to the north, where the fash
ionable East High street district, includ-
ing st. Raphaels Catholic church was
for while in imminent danger from the
spread of the flames.

The Raleigh Hosiery Mill has lost its
suit for damages against the Seaboard Air

the jury was against the Hosiery Mills.

was caused by a spark from a Scaboard

TROOPS ON THE RUSH
The Arrival of These Companies Alone
Saves Another Section Of the
City From the Torch Of the Mob,
the Negroes Terrified by Rattle Of
Firearms, Offering No Resistance.
(By the Associated Press.)

Springfield, Ohio, March 9.-(Wednes-
It an early hour Wednesday morning,
which not even the presence o. seven COM
janies of National Guard can allay. This
excitement is shared by all the business
cen and property owners of the city, who
fear that some negroes will attempt to
avenge the burning of the Levee district
by firing the downtown business houses
or their homes in the residence district.
So far the negroes have not tried to
make good their threats to dynamite the
county Jail to "even up" with Sheriff
Routzahn for permitting the negro MUIR
derer Dixon, to be taken by the mob
Monday night without the shedding of
blood TO save him.
Not a fourth of the business district OF
the city is under patrol by either militia
or police, and it looks as if close guard
vii have to be kept for several days to
prevent further incendiarsm. 1t is
thought, however, that the troops now on
hand will be abe to save the western
Levee district in West Washington
street, which, the leaders openly declared
they would set fire to as soon as the work
In the eastern half half of the street
was completed.
There is little or no disorder, the mob
of 1000 men standing quietly watching
the spread of the flames in the neighbor-
hood of Spring and Gallagher streets, and
apparently ready to help if it should show
signs of spreading beyond the confines
they originally set for it.
When the leaders of the mob passed
down off of East High street early last
evening TO begin the work of burning
the Levee residences. Father John Cogan,
assistant pastor of st. Raphaels church,
got down on his knees OH the sidewalk
and implored them to desist in their
work as they might start a fire they
would not be able to control. The incen-
diarists paused only a moment, few OF
them cursed him and went quickly on
TO begin their task.
So far the fire loss does not exceed
$4,000.
