NORTH MROLIfIA Billing Foreuer Negro Domi nation find Rille JWfINY NE-3ROEB KILLED. White Men Wounded. Negro Newspaper Destroyed. Wilinigntui), N. C., Nov. 11. After a day of bloodshed and turbulence Wilmington has sub sided into comparative peaceful ness. Eight negroes were killed and three white men wounded during the day, one ihe whites, William M&vo. seriously, Ihe city is in the hands es a new municipal government and law and order is being establish ed. The board of alder men re signed one by one. As each ai derman resigned the remainder elected a successor named by the citizen’s committee, until the entire board was named le gally. They resigned in Response to public sentiment. The new board is composed of eonservative democratic citi zens. The mayor and chief of police then resigned and the new board elected their succes cors, according to Ex-Rep resentative Waddell was elected mayor and E. G. Parmlee, chief of police. Ihe first act of the new gov- eminent was to swear in 250 special policemen, chosen from the most reputable white citi zens. They are vested with all ihs authority ana will take pos session of the city. The white citizens will remain on guard, however, throughout the town to prevent a possible attempt at incendiarism. The new government will devote its attention to restraining the feel ing among the whites, as well as to keeping down lawTessness among the negroes. Further trouble of a serious nature is not expected. As soon as the afternoon meeting was over, George Rountree received a telegram from Gev. Russell, saying that he would use all his efforts to influence the mayor and council to resign if that would restore peace. Mr. Roun tree sent the following reply : “Mayor and alder men resign ed. Two hundred and fiftyspe cial policemen sworn in. Law will be maintained and peace restored. ” Mr. Rountree is a prominent lawyer here and a member of the demscrotic congressional com mittee. Trouble began when the ne groes failed to make] answer to the demand for the immediate removal from the city of the negro newspaper outfit from which many vile sheets had been printed. The committee of white citi zens, followed by a mob, went to the newspaper •slice, demol ished its interior and fired the building. .Excitement reigned supreme and clashes followed with the result that eleven negroes were killed and three white men were wounded. The action of the citizens in organizing a new municipal government is expected to bring peace and order and no rioting is expected tonight. It developed later that the ne grocommittee summoned last night had agreed to use their good offices to have the press removed, although the editor had disappeared and they had no authority on the premises. This letter, instead of being THIRD ENGINEERS Will Pass Throilgli Rome at 6 a. m. ’tomorrow. A HUMBER OF ROME BOYS Including Charles H. Smith in This Regiment. A special received in the city late this afternoon states that, the Third Regiment of Civil Engineers will pass through Rome at 6 o’clock tomorrow morning. There are quite a number of Rome boys in this famous regi ment, Capt. Charles 11. Smith commanding one of the compa nies. delivered to the chairman of the committee of twenty-five in per son, was put in the mail and did not reach him until three hours after the expiration of the time limit. A crowd was formed last night to take from the jail and lynch two negroes, Thos. Miller and Ira Brant, who were arrest ed yesterday charged with mur derous threats and were regard ed as dangerous citizens. The’ mayor, Col. Waddell, promptly prohibited the assembling of the crowd at the jail and he himself headed a guard of twenty-five men with Winchesters to guard the prisoners. One of Manly’s offensive edi torials follows : “We suggest that the whites guard their women more closely, thus giv ’.ng no uppvitunity the human fiend, be he white or black. You leave your goods out of doors and then complain be cause they are taken away. Poor white men are careless in the matter of protecting their wom en, and especially on farms. They are careless of their con duct toward them, and our ex perience among the poor white people in the country teaches us that the women of that race are not any more particular in the matter of clandestine meetings with colored man than are the white men with the colored women. Meetings of this kind goon for some time until the woman's infatuation or the man’s boldness brings attention to them and the man is lynched for rape. Every negro.lynched is called a big black burly brute, when in fact many of those who have thus been dealt with had white men for their fathers and were not black and burly, but sufficiently attractive foi white girls of culture and refine ment to fall in love with them, as is well known to all.” , Another negro was killed last night at Tenth and Mulberry streets. He was bated by a guard, but refused to halt and continued to advance, and was shot by the guard. SLAUGHTER Al PANA. Negro Miners and The Whites Certain to Clash. Pana. 111., Nov. 11. —William Lynch, who was employed by the Pana Coal Company up to the strike, has been shot at by negroes and run into the house. Then they shot through the window of a house Mrs. Mclntrye, who was taking care of her siek daughter The negroes in the Flatt Hall* district came running out and be gan to shoot in ad directions. They kept shooting until the mili tia arrived on the scene. When the shooting began many women and children ran to Cap tain Butler, c f company B, for ITS Democrats Failed to Cain Enotftjli Vetes 'l'o CHANGE THE HOUSE. Republicans Will Have a Small Majority. • ® Washington,Nov. 11.—Chair man Babcock of the republican congressional committee here, practically completed a list of representatives elect to the fifty sixth congress. Latest authentic advices re ceived by the Republican com mittee indicate that two districts are in doubt yet, the Second California and the Twelfth Tex as. In both, however, Mr. Bab cock concedes that the chances are favorable to the Democrats. He claims neither of them. Last night Mr. Babcock’s figures show the election of 185 straight Re publicans, 163 Democrats, six Populists and one silver Repub lican. These figures do not include the two doubtful districts named. Conceding these two districts to the Democrats, as a means of reaching definite results, Mr. Babcock claims a certain ma jority of thirteen over all oppo sition. Little information of a defi nite nature was received by the Democratic committee today I Secretary Kerr maintained that the opposition to the Republi-; cans would organize and control I the next house cf repreaenta- 1 ' tives. His figures indicated that the opposition would have at least 180 votes and possibly 181, | protection. As far as known no person was struck bv the bullets. Things are in such a state that it is dangerous for any one lo go out in the mining district at night. The citizens say if something is n<_t done before long there will ba an outbreak and every negro and operator will be killed. It was impossible to.arrest any of the ne groes.
