LAST TRACE OF TROUBLE GONE; ALL BUSINESS BECOMES NORMAL; WHITES AND BLACKS BOTH CALM Tuesday Night Passed Without Any Trouble. WHITES AND BLACKS HAVE GONE TO WORK No More Rioting or Disorder Is Expected by Authori ties. "The trouble Is over. The entire sit uation Is pacific. I do not anticipate any further difficulty In preserving or der." Colonel Clifford Anderson, command ing the Fifth regiment and other state troops on duty In Atlanta, made this statement Wednesday. Hts announce ment followed the most peaceful night since the rioting of Saturday. Atlanta presents more of her old ap pearance now. The usual crowd Is on the streets, neither larger nor smaller than before the dlorders. Business has been resumed, shoppers are out again, and fall hata and clothing have re sumed their old place In conversation, The only difference In the appearance of the streets Is the sight of a few uni formed soldiers and the absence of ne groes. , With the arrest of nearly 300 negroes at Brownsville Tuesday morning, the vigilant patrol of the suburban districts during the day, and the great meeting declaring for law and order In the af ternoon, the crisis was passed and no general outbreak came. Autumn weather has served to cool hot tem pers. There has been time for sober thought. The two opposing elements hare worn themselves out with watch ing And waiting. Atlanta fears no more rioting. No Over-confidence. From Che heads of military and civil authorities come assurances that- the worst Is passed. There Is no feeling of over* confidence—there will be no mis taken withdrawal of guards. But there wfU be' no ^offensive movements by troops or police. All that they ask Is pears. Seven companies of soldiery from other towns, some from the Second regiment, some from the Third, arrived Tuesday night and Wednesday morning and afford additional protection. They will relieve the tired troops, which have been on duty for several days. The Candler Horse Guards, Troop F, arrived Tuesday night, a splendid set of robust men who attracted attention wherever they went In the city. The troop came unmounted and will serve ns Infantry. Companies of the Second regiment arrived f rom Jackson, llarnesvllld nnd Griffin, under Captains McKIbben. Nash and Beck, respective ly. The Third regiment sent Its first troops to Atlanta Tuesday night. They komnaalas PlhoPlnn ( 'll tit 11111 MOB LAW ARRAIGNED BY JUDGE PENDLETON CHARGING GRAND JURY That those who have been guilty of rioting during the last few days will be severely punished when it comes to dealing with Judge J. T. Pendleton waa indicated by his charge to the grand jury Wednesday morning. lie told that body to take several weeks if necessary in making an investigation and to bring the guilty parties to justice if there was any possibility of doing so. “It is your duty,” said the judge, “to investigate this dis order thoroughly and then act fearlessly. The object of punish ment is not only to punish the guilty, but to protect the inno cent. ‘ i “When that lawless mob chased and murdered whatever ne groes it could find Saturday night, those whose duty it is to en force the law were disgraced before the civilized world. • “Some one has said that mob law in its last analysis is an archy, but I tell you in its first analysis it is anarchy. The mob takes action without waiting for any developments which will show conclusively the guilt or innocence of the accused. Mob law is not justifiable under any circumstancea. It is never founded on correct prine.iples and but rarely—very rarely—on correct sen timent. Criminal assaults are the occaaion and not the cause of mobs. None of you was in that riot Saturday night, and the law less clement doesn’t regard law and virtue any more thau you do. “Atlanta is on trial before the world, nnd the safety of the city and your safety is in the balance. That mob of Saturday night went wheresoever it would nnd wreaked vengeance on wiiom it pleased. It is your duty to proclaim that it shall never happen again and to see, so far as is in your power, that the guilty are punished. “This is no ordinary service you are about to undertake, and von will not come up to your duty if you treat it as an ordinary task. You will have to be in session probably weeks and possi bly a month, looking into this affair. If half a dozen witnesses can not tell you what you wish to know, a hundred might. If it is possible for you to find who is responsible, it is your duty to do it. I know you will act fearlessly on wlmtevcr information you obtain, for your consciences under your oaths will inspire you to do your duty.” were Companies from Klberton, Captain Hurt: Athena, Captain Cappa, and Madlaon, Captain Pilgrim. 8till In Readiness. These companies will be returned Wednesday to their homes at the order of the adjutant general. All the com panies of the Fifth regiment will be kept in tfoelr armories during the day and In readiness to respond to any calls. A thorough patrol will be main tained during the night. Factories, workshops and every bus iness enterprise which, employs labor ers has opened and every effort Is be ing made to Induce white and black to return to regular occupations and forget the trouble of the past four days. It la believed that the resumption Of business will go far toward dispell ing 111 feeling. • A thorough guard was kept Tuesday night and reports made to military hpadquartera every half hour. No dis order worth mention took place. The pickets had no trouble in preserving the peace. Gatling Gun at Brownsville. The gatllng gun and a battery was •tatloneh during the night at Browns ville, the scene of the greatest trouble on Tuesday night. The greater num ber of negroes In that vicinity had been either locked up or had fled to other sections, however, and the night was without Incident. A company was posted at Fraser and Richardson streets; a company at Atlanta Uni versity, another at Hunnlcutt and Orme streets, another at Harris and Butler streets, and one at Edgewood and Randolph streets. One company was divided Into two platoons and one platoon assigned to the state capitol, " hue the other guarded the city stock ade. Each of these details was Instructed to patrol the territory surrounding Its post and cover a distance sufficient to Put It In touch with the next com pany. Mounted Patrol Kopt. The Horse Guard kept up a mounted Patrol of the suburban districts from Bast Point on the south to the water works on the north, and from Edge- " ood on the east to Bell wood and Howells on the weet, circling around ihe entire city. Colonel Anderson gave a hearty commendation to every branch of mll- ‘Liry and civil service. He said: "As the officer In command I highly commend the efficient and willing ser vice of all officers and- men In my command. I desire to thank the sher iff. the county police, the chief of the city police department and his men *titl all the branches of authority for lh * very helpful aid they rendered in quieting the trouble. It Is due as much Jo one as to another of these focres that the trouble was so promptly and effectively controlled Id so short a time.*’ I COUNCIL OFFERS REWARD FOR ARREST OF LEADERS AND MEMBERS OF MOB CHARLES HUQHE8.

TO BOLT IF At the adjourned meeting of council Wednesday afternoon a resolution of fering a reward of 3240 to any person arresting nnd giving Incriminating evi dence ngnlnet rioters who committed murder or attempted murder was unanimously adopted. Speeches were made advocating this step by Captain W. D. Ellin and Captain J. \V. English, representing the clttsens of Atlanta who met In mass meeting. The speeches and other action was taken after the reading of the follow ing communication from Mayor Wood ward: "To the General Council of the City of Atlanta: "Gentlemen—It becomes my painful duty to officially call to your attention the deplorable conditions that have ex isted In our beloved city since Inst Saturday night. I would have ad dressed a communication to your hon orable body at Its session on yester day, but earnest and necessary work In other directions prevented my doing *o«or even being present at the meet ing of your body. “It Is to be deeply regretted that such scenes as were presented upon our streets on last Saturday night should ever have occurred, and I do not believe that they would have been possible on any other time during the week than Saturday night, when such large numbers of people are congre gated upon the streets. While there had been several beastly crimes at tempted by black brutes upon white women during the past few weeks, yet I do not believe that violence would have been resorted to tf It had not been for the Inflammatory, sensational newspaper extras that were continual ly flooding the streets; and the reports they contained, In some Instances, were stigma upon reputable journalism, and should be, and I ■ believe M ill be, condemned by all classes of our people. "I thoroughly understand that our people will not tolerate the crime of assault, nt the same time there nothing that Justifies the infliction of punishment upon Innocent people, Ac cording to all the Information that have the victims of Saturday night 1 outbreak were Industrious, law-nbldlnc negroes who had n nreason to expect such treatment. While there were great many people upon the streets, do not believe that there were a great mnny actually engaged In riotous con. duct. "It Is not necessary for me, at this time, to address you at length, but I think It eminently proper to direct your attention to the preamble and resolu tions printed In the daily press. They are the expressions of some of Atlan ta's foremost cltlxens, people who have no toleration or palliation for the crime of assault, yet there are people who condemn mob violence. "I hope that yovr honorable body will give this matter your earnest consid eration. The fair name of Atlanta be fore the world demands 11, and I rec ommend that you offer such a'reward as will bring the offenders to a speedy trial, that Justice may be meted out to each one engaged. It should be suf ficient satisfaction lo those who desire to take the law Into their own hands when they are sure that they have the actual criminal: nnd they should not kill or punish an Innocent, law-abiding cltlxen for the vicious crime of a brute, Respectfully mibmltted, JAMES G. WOODWARD, "Mayor. RIOTS COST THE STATE $7,000 PAY TO TROOPS The service of the national guard In Atlanta since Saturday night and up to the dismissal of all out-of-town com panies Wednesday morning, will cost the state In the neighborhood of 37,000. Wednesday morning Governor Ter rell and Colonel Anderson deemed the situation sufficiently quiet to allow all the out-of-town companies to return home. All the Atlanta companies will be held In their armories at night ready for Immediate service If occasion should arise, which every one believes Is Improbable now. Elberton and Athens companies left at noon over the Seaboard: the Mariet ta company returned by suburban cars Wednesday morning, the Madison com pany Will leave at 3:34 o'clock.
