Bryan answered, In substance ''Will

Springfield, H., Aug. l9-Fear and terror prevailed in the homes of Springfield negroes tonight due to the departure of two regiments of infan- try today, and the announcement that two more organizations will be sent home tomorrow, The efforts of the authorities to quiet the alarm was only partially successful and in many a humble home there was no sleep before early morning. Early in the evening almost twice as many applicants for shelter within the garrison had been received as on previous nights and about 300 negroes curled up in the cor ners of the balcony sleeping on the floor or in chairs.
 The exodus of negroes, which had be. gun 10 abate, was renewed Trains and trolley cars were used by those fortunate enough 10 possess little money, but many of the unfortunntes took the road tramplng across thc country in a drizzling rain. until ex- haustion forced them 10 seek rest fin cornfelds or In wood lots. The chill dren and aged who were driven to the open suffered most, and it Is feared that many of the negroes would sue cumb to the hardships
 Adjutant General Scott Insists that there Is no good grounds for the fear of the negroes.
 There are plenty of troops here to- night, and the force that will he avail able tomorrow. about l,5OO men. cer. tainly can protect the city against any mob that may form, Then, too. inc presence of the large body of soldiers was irritating some sections of the community, and there was an element of trouble there that could not e overlooked"

Unusual secrecy has been maintained as to the identity and testimony of witnesses against rioters.

Knapp sacrificed Gilbert to second,
Ridge out, Weaver grounded safe, Gill
for two sacks scoring Weaver. In the
eighth p. Sharp supplanted F. Roberts

and allowed three more of the Grays
to cross the rubber. with two men
down, Weaver sent the pill TO left for
two bags, Conner hit by ball. Boyd
drove to center scoring Weaver, Con

one in center scoring Conner and
Boyd. Reeves famed and retired the
side. 1t was in the third session that
the visitors pushed their only run
across the pan and that on a wild
throw of Wise in an endeavor to catch
Harter stealing third. But for this
