The Storms.

The severe rains throughout this section during the past week have played havoc with railroad train schedules. On account Of bad washouts between Fairbank and Patagonia and also along the main line no train arrived at Nogales from the north from Friday night of last week until midnight on Tuesday of the present.
 The next day the train got through all right but Thursday Patagonia experienced the worst storm in the history of the place. Considerable track was washed out both to the north and south of the town and there was also about 800 feet taken away near Calabasas. The trains were accordingly delayed and one did not get through until this morning at seyen-thirty, returning north one hour later.
 This mornings Sonora train did not leave here until after eight eight o'clock, having waited for passengers coming from the north.

SOLDIERS GUARD sPRINeFIELD.
Riot Proclamation Issued by Mayor
BOwIus.

Riot Proclamation Issued by Mayor
BOwlus.
SPRINGFIELD, O., March 10.-Tht
situation here is considered by the au,
thorities to be more threatening than
at any time since the beginning of tic
present race troubles. While Governor
Herrick has not proclaimed a state of
martial law, such a condition practi.
cally exists in the down town districts
and the burned portions of the town
formerly occupied by the negro re-
sorts. Ten companies of the Ohio ma.
tional guard are OIL picket duty, and
seven more companies are expected.
The saloons without exception have
been closed, and many other lines of
business have practically ceased. 1t is
estimated that fully 25,000 people
throng the streets, visiting the county
Jail, the telegraph pole at Main street
and Fountain avenue where the negro
Dixon IA strung up and the burned
out districts of the levee.
AS the result of repeated requests
from influential citizens Mayor Bow
lus has finally consented not only to
close the remaining negro saloons, ho-
tells and lodging houses which are I'M
der the ban of the mob, but has or
dered the prOprietors in every instance
to move out all the intoxicating drinks
and in some cases even the fixtures.
including gambling apparatus.
The following proclamation has been
issued and posted by Mayor Bowlus:
"To. the People of Springfield-You
are earnestly requested to remain off
the streets of the city after nightfall
except in cases where business of ne
cessity requires you TO go thereon and
to refrain from co%ngregating upon the
streets or in public places of the city.
Compliance with the above request
is deemed to be necessary for the pres
.ervation of the peace and good order of
the community and to prevent a repe-
tition of acts of mob violence. Any
one found lettering in public places in
violation of this request will be
promptly prosecuted"
Colonel Mead's troops in dispensing
a crowd of rioters recovered a lot of
dynamite that was intended for blow
ing up the remaining colored dives.
The troops are dispensing crowds and
will control the situation during day
light, but u reign of terror after dark
is feared.
Two hundred armed negroes, it is re-
ported, have gathered in Clarke's
woods, near the outskirts of the city.
and it is feared that there will be Il
clash at any moment.
The streets are crowded with excited
citizens, while terror stricken women
and children remain behind closely
fastened doors. ~momentarily expecting
the torch to be applied to their homes
by the half crazed negroes.
