AF EXPLANATION. ;;
The Stab owes an apology, or ex
planation, to many of its friends
who telegraphed it yesterday for
news of the situation here. The
editor and many , of his employes
had duties , to perform outside the
Stab office, and it was absolutely
impossible to reply to all the tele
grams received. We did the very
best we could, however, under the
circumstances, and regret that we
could not do more. .
We wish to say, too, ; that if we
only get out half a paper this morn
ing our readers jnust not complain:

Lawyer Scott Banished.
A. W. Scott, the negro lawyer, who
is considered by white citizens as
partially responsible for the rioting
yesterday, was escorted by five white
pitizens to the south bound train last
night and given Specific orders never
to return to Wilmington under any
circumstances in the future. Scott will
be remembered as the negro attorney,
who upon one occasion insolently
asked General Superintendent Skeld
ing, of the Street Railway, on' the
witness stand, if j his instructions to
car conductors were not tO help col
ored "ladies" offl and on the street
cars and accord' them such other
courtesies as were extended to white
lady passengers.
Street Car Collision.
Yesterday while the "Brooklyn''
rioting was in progress, street car
No 4 With the front platform some what
demolished created some interest at the
corner of Front and Princess streets
and many questions were asked as to
the cause of its dilapidated appearance
It afterwards developed that the
negroes were not responsible for the
accident, but that in some way during
the excitement, it made a colision with
another car on Front street near Mul
berry. The motorman, Mr. Jeff Bald
win, stack to his post and ran a narrow
risk of being injured, but fortunately
escaped. Conductor Shaw was in
charge of the car but beyond being
shaken up right sharply, was un
hurt. ,
Were Given a Safe Escort
; Several negroes employed at the
North Carolina Cotton Oil Mill, which
is near Hilton Park, e pressed their
fear to return home after work hours
yesterday -afternoon and said they
would remain at the mill during the
night rather than return to their sev
eral homes in the city. Mr. Mason,
general manager of the mill, notified
our new Unief of Police, Jiu
Parmele, and he sent a special squad
of officers to guarantee them a safe
escort to their several homes-- and
places of lodging. This' incident
Ls peaks in highest terms of Wilming
ton's new city government and the
action of Chief Parmele will meet
with universal approval.
Arrests Made Yesterday.
Eleven arrests were made yesterday
by a number of special officers, the
charge being that they were partici
pating in the instigation of a riot. Ten
of these are negroes and one is a
white man, James Locklin. The ne
groes are Henry JNicnoison, Wis

Oat Many Excitiag
Incidents.
Yesterday was an eventful day in
the history of Wilmington. The day
was made notable by the complete de
struction of the plant and building
of the daily Record by indignant citi
2eua.to avenge a vile slander upon
woTnannoodT Then, too, there was
the unfortunate clash of arms between
mobs of negroes and citizens on guard
duty in the First Ward, attended by
many sad and exciting incidents.
During the dayHhe incompetent ad
ministration of the Fusion-negro
regime of city government resigned
and the Citizens Committee directed
the selection of new Mayor, Chief of
Police and Board of Aldermen, so that
Col. A. M. Waddell is now Mayor and
Edgar Parmele Chief of Police. Then
too, about 400 good and true men
assumed the duties of special police for
the establishment and maintenance
of law and order.
Avenging Slandered Womanhood.
lne committee of twenty-Uye, rep
resenting the mass meeting of white
citizens in the execution of the pro
visions of the resolutions adopted Wed
nesday demanding the departure of the
negro editor Manly from the city and
the removal of the Record plant, was
to have received a definite answer to
their demands from representative
negroes at 7 :30 o'clock. And Chair
man A.Mf Waddell was to report the
same to the white citizens in front of
the Wilmington Light Infantry
armory at 8 o'clock.
At the appointed hour more than
five hundred determined white citi
zens with guns and revolvers gath
ered at the armory and Col. Waddell
reported that he had received no an
swer from the negroes. They waited
until almost nine o'clock, hoping that
an answer complying with the de
mands would be received, but none
came.
"On to the Record Office.:
The men formed in line four abreast
and started on the march to the Record
office, in a thickly populated negro
settlement.- As the long column of
armed men approached the vicinity,
great crowds of negroes, men, women
and children, could be seen fleting
this way and that in a perfect frenzy.
And very soon scarcely a negro could
be seen anywhere.
When the column reached the
building, a two story frame structure,
the men were halted and several ad
vanced to the door. It was locked.
SeveraPblows by stalwart men forced
it open and about twenty citizens en
tered and within a few minutes the
plant was wrecked and the broken
pieces pitched into the street. The
windows of the house were broken
out. As the numerous fragments
were tossed into the street and as the
parts were recognized, exultant shouts
rent the air. Yet with it all there
was a remarkable demonstration of
coolness and determination. It was
when a long sign "The Record Pub.
Co.," was cast into the street that
the greatest outburst of cheers went
up. A beaver hat was thrown out
ana quickJy torn into pieces as was
a life size bust crayon likeness of Ed
itor Manly,
Building Caught on Fire.
When the wrecking was about com
plete it became evident that the build
ing was on fire. Smoke was rising
out of the open windows. There were
shouts of indignation and commands
to extinguish the flames. But the fire
spread quickly so that the Fire De:
partment had to be called out. As the
engines and horse reels dashed upon
the scene several rounds were fired by
the men who were lined 4ip more
than two squares either way.
The department quickly had the
4we under control, but not before the
building was a total wreck. They pre
vented the spread of the flames to ad
jacent buildings. Conservative men
very much regret the fire, not only
because it was entirely unnecessary,
but endangered a great deal of other
property as well. Close on one side
of the building is St. Luke's, the
largest and most handsome negro
church in the city. On the other side,
with only three or four small cottages
joined close together, between it and
the burning building, is Ruth Hall,
owned and used by negroes. Happily
not a single one of the adjacent build
ings was injured.
Citizens on Guard Duty.
As soon as it was apparent that the
fire was under control, the people left
the scene and dispersed through the
city, many of them going on guard
duty on their various blocks.
Stevedores Panic-stricken.
All was quiet until wild rumors,
with no foundation in fact were car
ried to the negroes, more than 500, at
work in the cotton compresses. They
were tola tnat tnerr nomes were
being burned. They rushed pell mell
from their work. However, by the
heroic efforts of Messrs. James
and W. H. Sprunt .they were
stopped and finally sa managed
as to have them leave for .their homes
in small squads. It was a hard task
WILlINjCTTON, mC- FRIDAY, N6rEMBER4
to control them. Mr. James Sprunt
persuaded them to return to the com
press -by promising that fhe would
be personally responsible for the
safety of their homes. When they
retu rned to the compress Mr. Sprunt
mounted a bale of cotton and ex
plained to the negroes that the white
men only desired to destroy the
Record office and they nor their
homes would be hurt if they would
behave themselves and go quietly fo
their homes. , They were allowed to
go to their homes small squads at a
time. ,
Trouble in the Ffrst Ward.
About the time the trouble at the
compress was gotten under control
news came from the First Ward, over
the railroad, that a riot was in prog
ress there. Large numbers of armed
men boarded the streets cars or ran on
foot to the scence. corner Fourth and
Harnett streets.
This was about 11.30 o'clock. When
they reached the scene four negroes
had already been killed and a num
ber wounded. One highly esteemed
young White man, Mr. William Mayo,
was seriously wounded and two
others, George Piner and a Mr. Chad-
wick, were slightly wounded. The
following affidavit is a clear and con
cise statement or the origin of tne
trouble to wit:
Wilmington, N. C.,.Nov. 9th, 1898:
I. William McAllister, being duly
sworn make the following affidavit:
1st. That 1 am yard master for the
Atlautic Coast Line. My duty is to
make up trains on the yard of the said
company in the city of Wilmington.
2nd. That at about eleven o clock
this morning I started to go to bed,
and my wife called me to the window.
I live od North Fourth street, next to
St. Marks Lutheran Church. My wife
said "Billv there is going to be
trouble." I lumped up and went to
the window and saw a white man re
monstrating with a negro with ges
ticulations, I heard the white man
say, go on, go on. rne jiegro went,
about ten paces, and then I saw the
negro shoot. He pointed a pistol
towards the white man and then fired.
Immediately I saw blood flow from
the said white man's right arm. Then
there was another shot fired from the
negro assemblage, and then there was
firing from the white assemblage, with
the result that three negroes fell. The
negroes then dispersed. Then the
white men proceeded towards Moore's
drug store to telephone for assistance
Wilham McAllister.
Sworn to before me, this 10th day of
November, A. D. 1898.
This is a certified copy of the
original.

Notary Public.
Military Called Out.
The negroes were quickly scattered;
but gathered again in large numbers
in the vicinity of JNinth and Harnett
streets. The Wilmington Light In
fantry and the Naval Reserves were
telephoned for and marched to the
scene heavily armed and accompanied
by the Colts rapid-fire gun and the
new Hotchkiss one-pounder. As they
passed through the streets ea route
they were lustily cheered on every
side and a large force of citizens with
Winchesters joined the procession.
When they reached Harnett street,
they turned up toward Ninth where
the negroes were assembled. When
the latter found that the military was
approaching there was a general scat
tering of the clans. ,
Shot From Ambush.
As the military was marching
past 411 Harnett street, 'the Naval
Reserves were fired into from the
house. The company fired a volley
into the house and killed a negro
named Bizzell. Geo. Davis another
of the negroes, was wounded seriously
in the back. Six others were captured
and committed to jail.
This incident was the last clash of
an especially serious character which"
occurred. .
On Patrol Duty.
The military company, as soon as it
was evident that the negroes were ef
fectively scattered, began to do patrol
duty in exposed sections of the city
and have kept it up ever since, re
inforced from time to time by the ar
rival of companies from neighboring
cities. Col. Walker Taylor is m charge
of the military operations, assisted by
Lieut. Col. Geo. L. Morton. Military
headquarters is at Lieut. Morton's resi
dence. on Second street, near Red
Cross.
