Coleman, General Manager, 356 Second Street ESTABLISHED 1884 BLOODY Bffi M IS ■ aiaami Commenced by the Destruction of the Office of the Record, a Negro Paper Published in that City, in Which Six Hundred Determined White Men Took Part, REINFORCEMENTS Are Be in ci Rushed Into Wil mington on Special Trains, SITUATION IS STRAINED Bloood Has Been Spilled and There is Serious Danger of a Contin tinuation of the Trouble as the Day Goes On. Uy AssoctaUed Press. . Washington, Nov. 10—A Star special from Wilmington, N. C., says: Events have moved quickly in Wiltnlng ion this morning, and the white people have made good their threats to take vengeance upon the negro newspaper which published an editorial derogatory so white women. At 7 ito.the negroes not having respond ed to the damand for the removal of the press of the Record, the negro newspaper, ex Representative Waddell, chairman of the white committee of twenty-five, re paired to the Light Infantry armory, where ho was to meet the citizens by ap- Vointment. Eight, o'clock was the last hour of grace for the negroes to reply and that hour passed without an answer being re ceived. The citizens then waited half an hour for reinforcements. In the meantime armed men began to gather in the wide street in front of the armory. They car rieW Titles, shot guns and ammunition and •he assemblage included some of the most prominent citizens of the town. * At 8:30 the procession, headed by ex- Ri'Pii s, ntative Waddell and the commit tee of twenty five, moved in the direction of Seventh and Nunn streets, where the .Record printing shop is located. X All along the line of march the proces sion was joined by armed citizens and "when the negro quarter was reached the negroes could be seen a few blocks away running* into houses. When the crowd ar rived in front of the Record office, a two story frame building, picket lines were thrown out across the street and squads of men were sent to the squares in the ■neighborhood. Leader Waddell with a rifle on his shoulder went to the door of the building and knocked, but there being no response the door was soon burst open and the clti .zeh". surged into the place and commenced the work of destruction. The furniture was smashed and thrown into the street. The floors were gutted of movable stufl and the building was fired and dest.ro ed. Some one turned in the tß«re alaiiu, when the engines responded the crowd discharged its weapons and a fusilade of gun and pistol shots, cheers and shouts filled the air. The affair was soon over, however, and mo one was hurt. The publishing house was destroyed, but the neighboring prop erty was saved. The colored editor. Manly, his brother, and their associates have fled and could not be found by the citizens. After destroying the printing house the marchers returned to the armory where they had left the rapid fire machine mounted in a wagon ready to be dis charged to the scene if a battle should occur. The leaders of the crowd said subse quently that it was not their intention to burn the Record building, that it was the ixvorii of some rash persons or by accident, and it did not have the concurrence of the committee. Today’s action of the whites is the se quel of yesterday's meeting. The appoint ment of the committee in the afternoon as a result which the negroes were given until this morning to return an answer to the demand for the removal of tke press and a cessation of the publication of the Record. I-ast night was an anxious one for the citizens in the residence section. About 8 o'clock a street car came into the busi ness section and reported that the negroes had fired into it and the passengers had returned the fine. The ear was loaded with armed men soon speeding toward the scene of trouble, but the offenders escaped. The entire eastern end of the town was aroused and armed men were on the street cars on every corner and patrolling the dark streets. In the negro district thirty or forty young negroes assembled, but were not armed and not violent and the older . -1 in ilnirtfntfin i■*■ —, men said they did not contemplate trouble. • All night long the whites kept guard about the business and resident sections but no incident occurred to disturb the night. At 11:30 the scene shifted to another section of the city. Scarcely had the marchers disbanded at the armory before word was passed that 300 or 400 laborers at the cotton compresses had knocked off work and werq assembling. Armed men hurried to the river front and took positions at the bead of the streets leading to the docks. The negroes gathered in. groups of fif teen or twenty huddled together and ap parently much excited. They were soon in a state of panic. Their wives hurried to them with reports that the whites were burning the negro quarters and shooting people and begged their husbands to come home, so the whole force quit work. The white leaders endeavored to calm the excited men, told them that no harm was intended and advised them to return to work. There was no violent talk or threats by the negroes. In all the disturbances the local author ities made no show of asserting them selves, and not a policeman was visible. The preservation of order was practical ly vested In the committee of twenty-five, who are now trying to restore order and check the reckless element among the whites. The rapid fire machine gun on a wagon, manned by a crew armed with winchesters was brought down in front of the post office, but on the advice of the leaders, halted there. Soon after 11 o'clock word was brought that reinforcements were needed in the negro section, Brooklyn, and negro men were sent. Twenty minutes later news canre that there had been, a collision between the whites and blacks and that blood had been shed. lAs a result of the trouble in Brook lyn it is believed that the number of ne groes killed is four. A white man named Mayo, who was shot in the stomach has since died. Another white man is hurt. The situation is quiet now. The negroes have gone into their houses. Squads of men are now halting all negroes and tak ing their pistols away from them. Special trains are being run into Wil mington and other towns with reinforce ments and arms. Goldsboro has started 500 men. Laurins burg has started 150 and other places have offered help if needed. The Light Infantry, the regular state militia, will probably Lake command of the situation here and its officers will di rect the the patrolling and guarding of the city. It is understood that the governor has given his sanction t this plan, and if car ried out it will have salutary effect. A lo cal .detachment of United States naval re serves tn fatigue uniform and dragging a one-pounder rapid fire gun is now at the scene of the trouble together with the Light Infantry and several hundred armed citizens. But there is nothing to shoot at as the negroes have disappeared. A later dispatch to the Star says be tween 1 and 2 o'clock there were several skirmishes. The total csasualites at 2 o'clock were eight negroes killed and two wounded. Three white men are wounded, Mayo, Chadwick and Piner. .Mayo was pot dead as before reported, but is shot through the tu.ngs. About 1:30 o'clock two white men in passing a boyse were fired on. A detach ment immediately surrounded the house and took away five negroes. It was at first proposed to Kill them on the spot, but it was finally decided to put them in jail. Another negro broke and ran, but af ter proceeding half a square was shot dead. The negro who shot Mayo was rec ognized. it was claimed, and a detachment found him at his house. He was riddled and left dead The reinforcements from Goldsboro have been turned back and the committee of twenty-five is considering means pf pre serving order. The plan mast in favor is to appoint a sub-committee of six or ten men to hare supreme Charge of the city, superceding the mayor and other authori ties.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER io 1898. ® HE SEIZED THEIRSUPPUES Complaint of the Agent of the Red Cross at Gibara, Cuba. AGAINST ARMY OFFICER. Great Suffering Among the Power Cubans and Spaniards at Holquin. By Associated Press. New York, Nov. 10 —C. G. Conkling, agent of the Red Cross at Gibara, Cuba, writes to the headquarters in this city under date of October 28 complaining of the action of Capt. W. S. Woodson, med ical inspector, United States army, who on October 27, apparently under instructions from Colonel Hood, seized the Red Cross warehouse at Gibara with all its supplies and had not at the time the letter was written given a receipt for the goods taken. Mr. Conkling says he had partially filled a request from Captain Woodson for certain supplies, etc., but that the captain made additional demands. When Mr. Conkling told him he could not grant them, Captain Woodson returned to Colonel Hood. A short time later he re turned and said: “In the name of the United States army, I take possession of the warehouse.” Mr. Conkling says he protested without avail. A copy of the letter was forwarded to General Wood at Santiago today with the request that he prevent any “further such unwarranted and high handed action on the part of the military officers.” General Wood, it is said, was cabled to on Sunday last in regard-to the matter and replied with the assurance that no further fric tion shall occur. j Agent R. S. Warner writing from Hol guin, says his arrival there with a por tion of the supplies on the schooner Morse occasioned much surprise on the part, of the ten thousand Spanish troops still gar risoned there. He made a superficial ex amination of the town and found much smallpox. He estimates the deaths at thirty a day for the army and as many in the poorer quarters, every hut is infected, and women, children and men lie literally rotting to death without the care of “even one doctor.” The poverty he declares is beyond description. “But,” he adds, “the poor devils are patient, they don’t com plain—used to it I suppose. The Spaniards have harrassed them so long that nothing troubles them any more.” He speaks hopefully, however, and says he will upon the arrival of the vaccine points shipped to him, begin work of vac cination. IN COMMISSION. France Has Decided to Call Out All Available Naval Force. By Associated Press.

AT POLICE STATION. Short Session this Morning in the Recorder's Court, The session of the recorder's court at the police station this morning was very short and took only thirty minutes to complete the cases that were on the docket. The cases against “July” George for disorderly conduct took up most of the time. July's testimony was interesting and kept the spectors at the court in an uproar. He was charged with cursing Mr. Thadd Shehan. The case was dismissed. Susie Thrash was fined $2.50 for being disorderly on the streets, and Will Gib eon wae bound over to the city court un der a sloobond for larceny. Rosa Hill was also fined $2.50 for disorderly conduct. Judge Freeman said this morning that his work had beep very light for the past trwo -weeks and that the police must bo having an easy time also. Both of the station sergeants are in a good humor as khe work on them has also been very light. MR, CHARLIE BRIDWELL Was Hurt in a Wreck in Birmingham land Died from the Effects, Mr. Charlie Bridwell, a farmer resident of Macon, djed yesterday in Birmingham from the effects of injuries sustained in a railroad wreck in that city a few days ago. His remains were shipped here for burial last night and the funeral serv ices will be held this after.won. Mi Bridwe|l was well kppwn In Ma ce n. hav’i c lived here for a number of years. ITe was at on', time a conductor on che Southern railway and was a very popular man. The funeral services will be held this afternoon from the residence of his moth er, 127 Ellis street. The interment will be at the South Macon cemetery. PROVOST GUARD Os the First Georgir Regiment Has Head quarters in the City. The provost guard of the First Georgia regiment is now quartered at the Johnson & Harris building on Cherry street while they are on duty in the citv. The men on guard are two hours on duty andfour hours off, and when off duty they remain at the headquarters. This building will probably be used at beadquartefs of the guard of the Fin.t urmv corps when they arrive in the city. The guard of the First Georgia will only occupy the building for a few days longer and it will then be turned over to Geenral Wilson. The provost guard has been of great assistance to the policemen in handling the troops and has kept down many serious fights that would have oc curred it they had not been on duty. WITH FIRST GEORGIA. Number of Officers Recommended for Trans fer to the Second. I ■Colonel Lawton has recommended the officers of the First Georgia, who will in all probability be transferred to the Second Georgia which is to be reorganized. The officers recommended are as fol lows : •Major Owen T. Kenan; Captains Win ship, Seott, Davis and' Leonard; First Lieutenants Hale. Tucker, Stevens and Davis; Second Lieutenants Robinson, Jones, Rowan and Murphey. Governor Candler will, no doubt, make the appointments in a few days. Colonel Lawton made the recommendations yester day and the names have 'been forwarded to the governor. It is now more than probable that many men who did not wish to remain in the service will go to the Second Georgia. One of the officers in speaking of the matter • last night said that it largely depended on the officers under whom the men went. IA number of the privates were also seen and some of them said that they would be willing to remain in the service under their present officers. It is thought that 200 men of this regi ment will now stay in the service who would not have otherwise done so. When it was known that the Second Georgia was to be here and that it .was to be made up mainly of the men from the First, it did not take well with the privates as they thought that they would have to drill un der officers who were unknown to them. They are satisfied now, however, and it is thought that the regiment can be raised without any trouble. The men will be turned loose next week and those who want to remain will make it known within the next few days. STRANGE SHIP Off Cat Island is Flying the .'American Colors. By Associated Press.

SURE OF GOOD PERFORMANCE Notwithstanding the Threatenining Weather Thousands Are Flock ing to the Big Tent. The circus has come to town and not withstanding the threatening weather in terest is just as intense. Thousands of people turned out for the big parade which by the way was the best that has ever been seen in (Macon and acted as a tremendous advertisement for the regular performance. Sells & Fotip.ingh are offering a better circus tu.au <.vci to the public this year. Speaking of the performance this year the Constitution this morning says: ■lt Is estimated that ten thousand people gathered beneath one of the largest tents ever seen in Atlanta yesterday afternoon to see the Forepaugh-Sells circus, and as many more went at night; and if the 20,000 persons did not leave the show .well pleasod it was because there were some there very hard to satisfy. There are a great many people who de clare that all circuses, like all coons, look alike, and they think that when they have seen one circus they have seen it all. Those who remained at home yesterday for this reason lack a good deal of having seen it all. Even the acts that bore ■ a natural resemblance to other circus acts of like character were improvements on the general run. While many circuses that travel through the country are made up of really clever acts but are spoiled in the general management. It is worthy of note that the Forepaugh-Sells show is only made more attractive by the way that it is conducted. A large majority of the “gentlemanly” ushers, doorkeepers and ; ticket sellers featured by the advance man were actually there, and everything went, off so smoothly and pleasantly that the entire show .was a pleasure even to the poor martyr-like mortals who were com pelled to go to “take the children,” Those who went to the circus because they “like to see the animals" must have beep well pleased with that part of the show, for the menagerie is one of the largest and best ever seen here. It is made up of a truly wonderful collection of beasts and birds that every child ought to see. The vast throng that stopped to stare 'at the animals yesterday was loath tq 1 leave when the man with a megaphqie in hie throat announced that thq mig show ! was about to begin. To see and appreciate fully all of the good things in the big show one would have to be provided with a double-jointed, reversible rubber neck and several pairs of optics. The enormous tent spreads over three large rings and two stages and there is something interesting going on in each one during the two hours that the show lasts. To take up each feature of the performance ;tnd elucidate on it in true cirqus stylo would make a daily news paper resemble a circus program, but it is no exaggeration to say that there is not a dull nor an uninteresting act in the Forepaugh-Sells show. The “grand and glorious double consolidated pageant tour nament and romantic processional entree” is all that one could expect from that elongated, elaborate and erudite sentence. Following this come the different acts, succeeding each other in fast and furious order until one begins to wonder where all the splendors will end. The troop of trained elephants do a re markable act which is concluded with a double quadrille. The Great Danes, a truly magnificent lot of dogs, go through a splendid performance, and the largest one of the canines does the difficult act, usually accomplished by small dogs, of turning backward somersaults. Most re markable of all the trained animals are the seals. Their repertoire of tricks has been extensively enlarged and they form one of the most attractive parts of the show. Among the individuals who go to make the show what it is there is one especially worthy of mention, and that is Mr. Denny Ryan. This individual first makes his ap pearance before the show opens with a fake camera. While the people are filling the seats, he stops the green-looking individ ulas in the throng and persuades many of them to strike ridiculous attitudes in order that he may take their pictures, which of course he never does, much to the amuse ment of the people he has failed to catch. The show is scarcely under way before the same Denny Ryan te seen in the top of the tent on the horizontal bars, where he does one of the most daring acts under taken by men in his profession. Later on he does a leaping act blindfolded, and throughout the entire show Ryan performs acts of the most startling char.| ter. One of the acts most extensively adver tised by the show is the high dive of .Paul Tustin into a tank of water four feet deep. Sixty feet is the advertised distance of the leap, and while it may not be quite that, Tustin does dive from* the highest part of the tent, and it is high enough to make his performance very thrilling. The Bieketts have been seen here be for. and there are no better in the world whn it comes to performing in the air The bareback riders, both male and fe male, are good in their acts, and in fact the entire show is composed of cleyer people whose performances are the very best. The combination of. Adam Forepaugh and Sel|s Brothers has undoubtedly given ehe public one of the best and most thor oughly interesting circuses ever gathered, beneath one canvas. SAM JONES ELOQUENT. Moved His Audience to Tears in Course of Last Night’s Spe ee h, Rev. Sam Joneee had another large au dience at the tent last night to hear his lecture on prohibition. He made a general attack on the saloons and the whisky flrinkere. He said that the whisky drinkers would spend their !ast cent for whisky while their families suffered for the want of food. He used some of his faverite expressions in de nouncing the whisky men. At times Mr. Jones grew eloquent and the audience was moved to tears on sev eral occasions. He made nq attack upon the city offi ciate, and confined himself strictly to the subject of prohibition, and made a clear and concise argument in its favor. He was frequently Interrupted by applause. Tn hte closing sentences he grew very el oquent and when he had finished he was roundly applauded. He will speak at the tent tonight. He will continue to hold services there morn ing and night. The morning services have been largely attended, and Mr. Jones says he thinks they are doing much good. Notice Extraordinary firs.
