RENEWED
ANOTHER WILD NIGHT IN CITY
OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
FIRE ON NECOES WHO At
TEMPT TO BURN THE CITY.

Springfield. Ills, Aug. 1S.-The
climax IN an all night battle between
troops and rioters in which militia
men were fired upon from ambush
in all parts of the city, was reached
at $3.50 a. m. today. when negro
who attempted to set fire TO build
ing on Eighth street below Jeffer-
son and Madison. within stones
throw of the military headquarters,
shot at trooper Adelman, of troop
B seventh cavalry. The soldiers re-
turned the fire but faied to hit the
man. The negro escaped and firing
squad started in pursuit OF him.
Earlier in the night the same negro
had been prowling around the house
of f. w. Hooker by Trooper Lowen-
stein. The cavalry and infantry en-
gagged in battle at six separate
points with rioters during the night
and early this morning. Many ne
groes homes were attacked while the
militia and rioters in ambush were
firing at one another. The shooting
began at IL O'Clock at night, when
the militia commanders were con
graduating themselves that they had
restored quiet. The outbreaks were
evidently planned, as they occurred
in half dozen spots at the same
time In an instant the city was
aroused Inv the cracking OF rifles and
the clatter and clank of racing sol
diers. Just before the rioting was
renewed Governor Deneen issued a
proclamation calling on all citizens
TO furnish evidence TO the grand
Jury against persons who partlclpa'-
ed in the lynchings and destruction
of property.

One OF the biggest Democratic meet
ings ever held in Norton. IL not in
Wise county. assembled at the town
hall Saturday night | twas the first
meeting of the Bryan, Kern and BY
ars club, number of ladies being
present. The organization OF this
club was largely due to the efforts
of w. b. Ford and Howard c. Mil
Ter. editor OF the Norton Free Press.
About 100 members had been Sc
cured up to the hour OF organization
and more were enrolled at the meet
OF Norton, called the meeting to or
der. w. Il. Ford was unanimously
elected president; John Roberts,
secretary; Bailey StultZ. treasurer.
The various committees were an
nounced by the chair and approved
by a vote of the club. The chair an
nounced the completion of the bus
mess matters. urging every member
to do his whole duty from now until
November 3rd,
II seems that the club had but one
voice as TO who should make the
speech OF the evening. and there was
n regular storm of calls for t. +.
Suthers. For one hour the speaker
held the audience at Will The ap
plause was such at times that IL was
impossible for him TO proceed. IL
seemed that Mr.. Suthers had been
fred by the famous speech OF Thos

Republican conention held herein
which that gentleman drew so much
applause by his unjust and cruelty
false references to Grover Cleveland
and the charge that the Democrats
were the cause Of the death OF VIM.
Mckinley. Mr.. Suthers demonstra-
ted conclusively that Mr.. Clevelands
administration was not responsible
for the panic of '93; that the wreck
and ruin stared him In the race
| ghostlike when he entered upon ms
duties. the result OF Republican mis-
ruie: and that already Mr.. Harrison
had arranged for every bond issue
that Mr.. Cleveland was forced TO
make. When the speaker had made
these statements or fact for foun-
dation he turned loose such can
nonading on the littleness ana nh'
scrupulousness OF such campaign
sneakers as had imposed upon pun
lie intelligence the past few years
grossly misrepresenting history hr-
ing prejudice and exciting Ignorance
as has not been heard in these parts
for many years
The speech demonstrated that 'h'
time had come when people "ere
looking for and demanding hlghe'
standards and would no longer en-
dure the utterances of men VINO
could rise no higher than a misrep-
resentation OF truth and history 70
