The white inhabitants of Atlanta are on a chaso for the negroe4 infuriated by tile con tinued assaults made upon the white women of the city, which has been going on for wfceks. Cause of the Trouble. The trouble between the blacks and whites was precipitated ‘i:y three as saults upon welj known white women this afternoon by negro brutes. The assaults were made at intervals of less than half as hour apart; So in furiated were the white people of the city that they started out to find and murder the guilty negroes, even if many innocent ones had to lose their lives. Riot St)l lowed. The situation became serious in a very short time,| and tiouble was feared. Governor Ferrell, learning of the riot, which wis eminent, called out all the militant of the city, but before this was dofte the whites and blacks were together' In a bloody fight. Volley after volley Was being fired and dead negroes wdf'e falling in an sections of the city and well known white men were being injured by their fire It is impossible to estimate just at this hour, bow may negroes have been killed, but it is safe to say that twenty-five are dead and no less than double that number, of seriously in jured. While no white mjan has yet been reported killed, it {is known that eight or ten have boon badly injured. Negroes ar&[ Fleeing. There Is not a lilaek face to be seen on tht; streets of Atlanta tonighh Sm<o It o'cloik not h negro has been geeii; bupdrefls are ljfd In all sectfpns of t'le city, others hie under build ings, while the great majority have taken to the woods and are being pur sued by the white people. Hacks Deserted. Hundreds of hacks, driven by negroes, have 'been deserted, and their vehicles have been left standing in the streets. All drays driven by negroes have likewise been left in the streets and hundreds of horses at tached to hacks, drays and buggies of vtarious kinds are moving about the gtreets without drivers. Many run aways have occurred, in which number Of 'people have beep injured. Firemen and Police Out. Every fireman in the city of At lanta and every police officer, deputy sheriff, constable or officer of any na ture, lias been given the riot call am} |s p n pufy, but with l(tlle effect, pijd instead of quelling the riot their uresence seems to have only precipi tated more trouble. The military is absolutely unable to cope with the Woodward’s Effort Failed. Mayor Woodward aa soon as he learned of the trouble, went out in I an effort to quiet the maddened white j people, 'but h|s efforis were fruitless and but little! attention was paid to I his appeal. Hj? begged the infuriated whites to cease their fire and made every possible'’ effort to restore order, but to no avail. Not a Person Asleep. Not a man >r woman in the city of Atlanta will s cep tonight. The men, or at least th jse who are not in the fighting, are , remaining awake pro tecting their Homes, while the women are frightened! to death. It is feared on all sides t|iat the colored women of the city will take a hand in the riot and will ftry to get revenge by murdering the|- white women. The scene of the trouble” is in the heart of the city, alQng Whitehall, Decatur, Marietta and o|her down-town streets.

It is feared that the smoke of th 4 battle will rage until morning and maw tie continued then. Governor Terrell; will no doubt order out two or thrde Georgia regiments companies during the night and they will be ibroughtfto Atlanta on special trains just as soon as possible. Later Report Says Only Fifteen Killed. tßy Long Distance Telephone.) Jacksonville, jFla., Sept. 23. —1:30 a. m.—Latest reports received here from the riot fin Atlanta is to the effect that between fifteen and twenty negroes have aheady been killed ana the white people of the city are sti't on a hunt for the blacks. It is believed . that many more will he killed before dayight. All the military, police I department and fire men have beeii called out, but are unable to coiwith the situation, which is thought to be of a most serious nature. It is feared that a regular race riot will be the fmai result. ASSAULTS HAVE CONTINUED FOR PAST FEW WEEKS. The News last night made every possible effort to get full details of the riot in Atlanta, and succeeded in getting all that was possible up to our hour of going to press. The tele graph offices were both closed when the first news of the riot was received here, which came via a long-distance telephone message from C. W. Dem ing, formerly of this city, who is in Atlanta. Mr. Deming stated that the situation was a most serious one, ana that not a man or woman in the city dared go to bed. He thought many more negroes would be murdered be fore morning. The trouble is caused by the con tinued assaults made upon white women by negroes in and around At lanta. During the past six weeks there have been no less than a dozen ladies assaulted by f lie negroes. Every possible effort has been made to put a stop to it, but to no avail. Only Thursday an assault was made upon a well known lady, and when it was announced, yesterday that two more assaults had been made, the white peo ple became so infuriated' that they went after the negroes and murdered all in their path. ft Is probable that, most of the mlll tary of the state will he called to the capital this morning to quell the riot.

SERIAL FEARED ON SOUTHERN Two Thousand Machinists May Walk Out al Aoy lime MORE PAY IS WANTED A General Strike on the Entire Sys tem Now Seems Probable as Result of Higher Scale Paid in Birmingham. Two hundred and tjfty machinists, employed at the Sputhern railway shops in Atlanta, affd perhaps 2.000 on the system are making a demand for increase in tho’ wage scale from $3 a day to $3.25. J Tlie proposition now in the hands of the executive committee of tlie Ma chinists’ Union, aifd a meeting will be held within theluext few days to formulate a requpst to be presented to the Southern Railway management. A general striae on the system is probable, if the jlemand far increase in wages is not granted. The contention of tlie machinist is for a uniform scalp.
