Atlanta special to tho Augusta Gasctte of tho 27th inst. : A Bloody riot took place at Decatur about 5 o’clock this afternoon be tween the whites mid blacks, in which two men lost their lives mid one re ceived a dangeri us mid perhaps fatal wound. The story is n simple one.— The negroes of DeKalb county held a Sunday school celebration at Decatur I to-day By permission of the whites, the colored folks, to the number of | several thousand, mot at the taber nacle, a large structure in the eastern part of tho town. While the services 1 were in progress this afternoon a drunken negro named George Hub bard, appeared at tho tabernacle with a pistol in his hand, which ho flour ished in a threatening manner in the | faces of tho people. The colored nimmgeis sent for the town marshal, Mr. Tobe Hurst, and asked that tho ! negro be arrested. Mr. Hurst depu j tized Mr. Tom Shivers, ex marshal of Decatur, to assist in arresting Hub bard, because a largo number of j boistroUH, drunken negroes were on i the streets and he feared trouble, i The officers went to tho tabernacle, | and after a struggle, in which Hub i bard tried to use both his knife and pistol on them, succeeded di-arming . him and started for tho calaboose i with their prisoner. On tho way a ■ largo crowd of negro men swept down upon the officers and rescued Hubbard, carrying him off with shouts of victory. Marshal Hurst, then got a warrant for Hubbard, and accompanied by Mr. Shivers, sheriff Henry Austin mid bailiff Rogers, stalled out to (ho ball ground where they learned Hibbard had gone to i re-arrest him. They overlook a crowd i of negroes on tho railroad and seeing Hubbard among them started for ! him. A number of negroes jerked ' out their pistols and began firing upon the officers, who nt once return i <><l tho fire. All at once a negro, ; whose name is not known, ran be hind Marshal Hurst ami shot him in ( tho left side, killing him almost in stantly. About tho same time Mr. i Tom Shivers was shot through the breast and fell dangerously wounded. The negro who had killed Hurst and I then turned his attention so Sheriff Austin mid a duel ensued, the negro standing his ground mid firing three shots in quick succession, all of which missed him though he was only a few paces distant. The brave sheriff fired six shots at the negro, who then took to his heels and was afterwards found dead in the woods. In the melee Hubbard and the other negroes ran off and were soon lost to view. As soon as Sheriff Austin could give attention to the dead mid wounded he organized a simdl posse and came to Atlanta, having heard that Hubbard, who lives in Hoopers town, a negro suburb of this place, i ha<l come up on 5:3(1 train. The town was scoured for Hubbard, and had he been caught ho would have died on the spot. The police were notified to keep a sharp lookout for him and the sheriff returned to Deca tur.
