MANY KILLED
IN A race RIOT
THE CITY OF ATLANTA, GA, in
MIDST OF SCENES OF
BLOOD AND CARNAGE.
The Whites are Stirred to Murderous
Anger by an Epidemic Of Assaults
by the Negroes. Troops Called to
Restore Quiet.

i S1--5'Ns, - q wi o.s&s . ne OrGS are
being being received from the outskirts Of
rloting and of negroes being killed or
driven from their homes.
Rumors have it that twenty-five to
thirty negroes have been killed.
All IS quiet in the central portion Of
| the city but many loiterers are stand
ABOUT the street corners awaiting de-
velopments
! The possibility of retaliation by the
| negroes is among the serious things
/ discussed.
The troops are slow in modifying,
and have not yet proved available.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept 90, a. m.--Ten
| negroes are dead and more than a
score seriously wounded as the result
OF race war that broke out here last
night and was still raging at mid
night
Gov. Terrell has called out eight,
companies of the Fifth infantry and a
battery Of light artillery to quell the
riots.
The entire police force both regulars
and reserves and the fire department
have been fighting the frenzied mobs
all the evening without avail.
Negro men and women were ruth
lessly pulled from street cars and even
dragged from their homes by shouting,
angry white citizens, and were beaten
and kicked, and in some cases the cap
tlves We're Immediately hanged to the
nearest trees or buildings
For time the blacks fought in self
defence, but this only angered the
mob the more, and after 10 oc ock the
negroes yielded to terror and sought
nothing but to escape from their pur-
suers Scores of them have fled from
the city, and hundreds of others have
been hidden by the police or given
shelter within the walls of the police
station and Jail.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 3d. -Twentv-four
hours have passed since the serious
race war began in Atlanta In that
period at least ten lives have been sac.
rltlced, aud the nun Der Of injured will
be at least forty, several of whom can.
At 10 o'clock tonight the city is con-
trolled by the police, aided by num-
Der OF state militiamen Every mart
OF the town is patrolled by the soldiers
and the authorities seem to have the
situation well in hand.
Gov. Terrell, who ordered seven
companies of the state military service
from points outside of Atlanta to aid
the eight local companies, stands
ready tonight to declare the citv under
martial law if the scenes of last n;pht
are repeated.
Numerous and persistent rumors are
reaching the city of negroes attacking
white persons and s,oning street cars
IA the suburbs and outskirts of the citv.
these reports doubtless are false
but several street cars arriving from
their runs show broken windows while
the crews are refusing to go out to
night.
Can't Clear Streets
The larger part of the militia is con-
centrated in the downtown distri cts.
Market and Decatur streets, both fire.
quented by negroes, are crowed with
white men. The troops are marching
through the crowds constantly, trying
to enforce the order of the mayor that
he streets be cleared
The efforts to clear the streets, how
ever, so far seem to meeting with only
fair success. Very few of the better
class Of citizens, who are not called
out by necessity, are on the streets to-
| night
Up to Sunday evening more than
fifty arrests have been made OF mem
bers of last nights mob, charging in
element to riot. Five hundred dollars
bond has been required in each case.
