TtLK AWriL MOKT OF THE FATAL, mors rHe.BE. How Women and Children Helped Bloodthirsty M-n. th London, August 1Q. A report has been received here that a desperate riot took place this morning in Springfield, Belfast. A later despatch from Belfast says only a few persons have been wounded in the riot in Springfield this morning. Five thousand troops and 2,500 con stables occupy the disturbed districts. The presence of the police tends to in crease instead of suppress the disorders. Protestants declare that Catholics were tho aggressors by wrecking Pro testr.it houses, while Catholics are equally certain that Protestants were the aggiossors Of one thing there is no doubt; never did two mobs of dif ferent religions display a more blood thirsty dosire to kill or maim each other. During the fighting Sunday and Mon day, when our powder ran short, viragoes on both sides, with flat-irons and other implements, ground large grains of blasting powder into a size suitable for small arms, while boys of tender age melted lead into bullets and slugs. While the rioters were firing youths and women stood behind them busily loading the spare guns in order to prevent waste of time. The fusillade lasted until. 9 o'clook yesterday morning, when the ammunition gave out and a tacit truce ensued, both sides removing the dead and wounded to. their homes Both sides are doing their utmost to hide their losses Monday the Protes tants received a weloomo donation of twenty-five rifles and much ammunition from; Ballymaocaret sympathizers, while the Bally h inch nationalists sent i plenty of weapons. This con stitutes the gravest danger in the future. There is a general demand for a house to house search for arms. A visitor who has been studying the cause of the riots writes : "It is useless mincing matters. The police have fired and slain tho people from panic if not from vin dictiveness The people assert that the latter was the cause The people re gard the police as murderers, not pro tectors, lhat issue must be faced. Hundreds of people have friends dead or dying. It is worse than useless to say that they want only to at tack the police Their bare presence is a terror to be repulsed and excludes the idea of wantonness. This is now the groat supreme difficulty. 1 have seen J men in a respectable house throwing stones at a batch of twenty policemen escorted by one hundred horse soldiers." Let Them Cut.

Eight hun dred Mexican troops are said to have left Lagos for Paso del Norte Sunday night. It is asserted that a second de mand has been made, and that the American officials have been notified to leave Mexico. Large crowds gather at every street corner. The arrival of company F of the Tenth United States cavalry at Fort Bliss, which was assign ed here two months ago, has oaused a rumor to the effect that eight car-loads of United States soldiers are oa the spot. The bad effects ol these diffi culties upon business are be coming very apparent, and every thing looks like war from the Mexican standpoint.

Crop Beport. Washington, Aug. 10. The spring wheat returns at the department of agriculture for August 1 show im provement in the condition in Iowa, a small decline in Wisconsin and Ne braska, and a heavy reduction in Dakota. The causes of the deterioration are drought and ohinoh-bugs. The heat has been excessive in many districts that have produced fair yields notwith standing. The harvest 'is two weeks earlier than usual and the quality is un usually good, exoept in sections where eavy loss from blight has occurred 'he general average of condition is j re duced from 8SV2 to 80.1. At the time of harvest last year the- average was bo. A part ot tno loss, last son occurred after August 1. soa As the present harvest is already nearly over, with improving meteorological conditions, the final estimate cannot be much further reduced. The present average is 97 for' Iowa, instead .of 90 ast month. No less than twonty-hve counties, each producing from 200,000 to 1,000,000 bushels, report the condi tion at 100 or over. In Minnesota there is an incroase from 78 to 80. The reduotion in Wisconsin is from 75 to 72; in Nebraska from 83 to 82, and in Da kota from 85 to 62 Wr inter wheat previously harvested is not reported this month. There has been a heavy decline in the condition of corn since the hrst ot July, ibe average, which was then 95, is reduoed to 81 The heaviest decline is in Illinois, Wisconsin, and states west of the Mississippi. In the Eastern and Middle States the condition is well maintained. It indicates a crop not ex ceeding 22 bushels per acre, though the future condition may morease or decrease the ultimate yield. The average of spring rye is 88 There has been no material decline in oats, the average be ing 87 Barley has maintained its con dition, and nearly average crop is assured. The condition of buckwheat averages y-i; tobacco z; potatoes so. The ootton crop has suffered from wet weather in all the States east of Mis sissippi, and in LiOUisiana tbe aver age condition has been reduoed from bo to 81; Virginia 75, North Carolina 74, South Carolina 67, Georgia 80, Florida 86, Alabama 77, Mississippi 79, Louis iana 75, Texas 88, Arkansas 9b, Ten nessee 95.

Since this beautiful little town has been connected with the great - world of commerce and busy life by the railroad, people, will naturally ask what benefits have been secured for the to wn by Buoh a connection? I reply, there have been many, and sterling benefits will continue to arise. A new, energetic impulse has been given to business that could not have been gained m any otner way. The business of he town now reaches into five adjoining counties. The peo ple from these counties must come to r- if . . . .. Louisburg this fall, hence a new life and boom, will be given to the town, that only a railroad could bring about. Then they have two large tobacco ware houses, which are managed by men of means; consequently every inducement that money and experience can furnish will be given to build up a good to baoco market. And here let me say that there is aot a more profitable or suitable opening for some live, energetic man to invest in the manufacture of tobacco. Such a man will find this people ready, willing and anxious to help him with their money, business and individual consumption of his work They have also a hno male school, under the management of Prof. J M. Stark, a graduate of W. Gordon Mo- Cabe's high sohool, of Petersburg, Va., also of the university of Virginia, and as to his intellectual ability, nothing further need be said. He b surely the right man in the right place, and the people of the town are to . be congratulated upon securing his servioes They have also a large and elegant fe male college building, and here is a fine 0Tcnine for success in this direction The buildini; has fifty bed rooms, a nice, large chapel and is situated in a beautiful grove of 12 acres. .Best of all, however, is the health of tho place, which is better than any town in the State can boast of. A striking evidence of this faot is that they have more summer visitors than any town ot tno same size, witn tno ex . A.l . '.lit- ception of Bummer resorts, and not one single visitor bas yet said that ne did not wish to return. The people of the town arer cordial, oponhearted, supreme ly hospitable, and comprise some of North Carolina's best society. An ; old town, with such strongholds of refine ment, culture, and good citizens, cannot be ignored, but will rise and advance with the rapid progress of civilization, and its many prominent advantages will assert themselves and command the at tention of the State and world. It can boast of many prominent men, but none can surpass thoBe two noble exponents of demobraoy and true manhood, "Hon est Joe Davis" and Hon. C. M. Cooke. The crops are good all over the coun ty, and a good corn crop, a good ootton crop, and a good tobacco crop mean a big trade, and the county will begin the new year in a healthy, prosperous con dition. The merchants expect the heaviest ttrade they have had for years, and they need banking facilities very much. The ; soldiers' re-union takes place August 12th, and it promises to be a large gathering of-people, and quite an enjoyable affair. The Louisburg cornet band furnishes music for the oooasion.
