SPRINGFIELD AGAIN QUIET.
Ohio Cit. Has Recovered from It's
Raae Against Negroes.


Springfield, Ohio, is once more quiet.
The negro-hating mobs which ragged
through the streets. burning negro dives
and negro homes and threatening to
take human life, melted away in the
presence of the militia. Save for the
blackened ruins of several buildings in
the negro quarter. there is at present
no indication of the raging fever which
pulsated through the VEINS of the city,
threatening disaster beyond reckoning
The lawabiding citiaens. business men
and those who take pride in the city
do not relish the unenyiable notoriety
which these anti-negro outbreaks have
brought to Springfield, and they plead
in behalf of the fair name of the city
that the mobs were in the main made
up of boys and irresponsible young
men.
A year ago neg-o named Dixon,
who shot ana killed a policeman was
taken out and lynched by mob, which
setting fire to several buildings The
militia were called upon at the time
and for a week Springfield was under
martial law. 1t was hoped then that
there never would be a repetition of
those disgraceful scenes, but they have
been repeated, except for the taking Of
human life.
The shameful outbreak of last week
was caused by the shooting of white
railway brakeman named NJ. X. Davis
by two regroes named Gadd and Dean.
Davis fingered several days before his
death. Ills assailants were hurried to
Dayton for safety. This outrage was
the signal for raid on the negro quar-
ter of the city, and for several days
and nights the mob burned and demol-
ished negro buildings, despite the pres
ence of the militia.
The mere killing of a white man by
a negro in a northern city would not
seem to an outsider sufficient cause for
determined mob violence, but it must
be remembered that Springfield has a
| large negro population. and that among

Like Shell.
When the steamship Philadelphia arriv-
ed at New York from Southampton the
passengers reported that an otherwise I'M
eventful voyage had been made exciting
by huge wave which, without warning,
struck the vessel about s o'clock on Fri-
day evening. Smashing the door of the
officers deckhouse, the water flooded the
quarters knee-deep. After doing damage
TO the officers clothing the flood descend
ei to the drawing room on the main deck
and then poured in a cascade down the
wall of the companionway to the main sa-
loon. Passageways were flooded until
the water ran so deep that force of
stewards was called to wade in and bail
them out. Men and women dropped on
their knees and prayed, while others ran
Que on deck to see what had happened.
The great vessel reeled mad quivered I'M
Ger the shock, and for fully five minutes
almost a panic reigned on board. So far
as could be learned no one was hurt ex
cept one woman, woh was bruised by
being thrown against her berth. Capt.
A. X. Mills stopped the engines and rode
out the storm. Part of the steamships
bowsprit was carried away, iron ratings
were twisted, and a large number of win

Chicago ments reject sustained
confidence in the general
outlook, the fall in values of bread
stufis causing no hesitancy. Distri0u-
ton of staple merchandise has reached
an exceptionally high volume, while
wholesale bookings made further accu-
mutation in dry goods, footwear, mems
furnishings, food products and clothing.
Purchasers for the interior run ahead
of all former aggregates for spring de-
livery.
The markets are attended by increas-
ing numbers OF visiting buyers and their
free manner in making selections is
based upon the satisfactory conditions
which prevail throughout the Western
country. The demand for hardware,
sporting goods and vehicles is brisk,
and heavy shipments are made of wire
and other material for farm improve
D,ents. Retail trade generally has
hroadened, indicating that consumption
is expanding, and business is much i'm
proved in furniture, carpets and house
hold utensils.
Agricultural work has been COM
menced in various sections. prepara-
lions pointing to an increased acreage
in corn and spring wheat. Reports
as to the growing grains are most en-
couraging particularly in the South
west. Mercantile collections in this dis
trict are found to be reasonably prompt.
Manufacturing and outdoor construc-
ton are stimulated by favorable wealth
err and activity is gradually spreading
in both these important branches. The
demand for raw material is unabated,
especially for factory use, and prices re-
main steady. Pig iron output exceeds
that of a year ago and current deal
ings are satisfactory both as to book
ings and inquiries, local prices holding
firm. The production of steel is under
unusual pressure, this permitting larger
deliveries to be made of rails, structur-
al shapes, plates and wire. Lumber and
other building material are eagerly Sc
cured and bring high prices. Factory
work has gained in farm implements,
heavy hardware, machinery and plumb
ing supplies, while the demand is of I'M
precedented force for heavy electrical
power and supplies.
Railroad earnings command attention
because of the notable gains made over
