deaths, the injuring of scores of other
persons and $780, 900 damage to prop
erty were caused here Friday when a
carload Of dynamite standing on a
track ear the Southern railway de-
pot exploded with a report that was

the Pennsylvania railway lines, con-
tanned $50 boxes Of $4,000 pounds OF
high explosives, consigned to the Rand
Powder company at Clearfield, Tenn.
Two causes are assigned for the explo-
sion. One Is that three parties were
shooting at a mark On the car and
that a bullet entered the car and
caused the explosion. The other is
that while the car was standing on a
side track a carload of pig iron was
switched against 1t and that the i'm
pact caused the explosion.

suit of the disaster.

Atlanta Editor Tells Reason for Race
Riot There.

Riot There.
Chicago. Sept. 24.-The Inter Ocean
publishes the following dispatch from
John Temple Graves, editor Of the
Georgian, at Atlanta, Ca:
The Atlanta race riot is due to the
cumulative provocation of a series of
assaults by aegroes upon white WON
en-, which In number and ~atrocity and
unspeakable audacity are not paral-
leled In the history Of crime of South
ern negroes. There has been eleven
assaults or attempted assaults within
the past seven weeks. OF these fiends
only four have been apprehended and
seven have escaped and are now at
large In the community.
Eight Of these assaults have been
In broad daylight and In most in
stances In the open air within a
stones throw Of other residences. One
assault was attempted at 8 o'clock in
the evening in the brilliantly lighted
parlors Of a city residence. Three have
been attempted almost within twenty
feet of the man Of the house, the Grim
inals escaping before the household
men could reach them. The entire
eleven efforts, five successful and six
unsuccessful. have been made right In
the city and suburbs Of Atlanta, the
capital of the New South, the center
of trade, tradition and politics, the
heart OF our civilization, with a white
population nearly twice az large as
that of the negro.
1t has been a reign of terror for our
Georgia women. There is not a white
woman in the region Of Atlanta who
has had a tranquil day or night within
TINS piriod. The white women have
been trembling prisoners In their
homes. and their husbands, sons and
brothers have been held In the neces-
sity of guarding them INCREASINGLY.
