efor,v o'clock 'the .citfaen begran to
gather at '.the armory to ltarn' the an
swer from the committee!, of negroes.
Kv-ry man brought his rille'and many
had pistols alsj. Itwas an orderly, as -
pemblage and there were no evidences
of diFordir, although some , impatience
was manifept'ed at -th1, delay In .hearing
from 'the committer. When the hour of
fc:30 o'clock arrived and ni report.: was
received, the order was given to march
to : the off ic e of The itecord. The men
"formed by fours" and ,w1ttt.Cbl6nel "Wad-
d-ll and some, members of ithe commit
ter; of twenty-five at the 'head of tne
cofumn. the procession moved out Mar
ket street. Other .citizeni joined the
marchers' as .the line movj-d on. '
The ItW-ord "plant was lodated in Free
Love Hall, on .Seventh", street "between
Nun- and Church. AVhen the hall was
reached the main, body of t'hf marchers
halted,' pickets were thrown ""out and a
number of: men broke into the; hall.
The-fixtures of, the printing office w ere
quickly -. thrown out and demolished,
the material on both floor.4 being thus
treated." About: this time it was found
that thfebuildmg was on fire sin tbe
second story. Thn was very much re
grot ted as it was not. proposed to fini
the" buildi.ng. It w'as thought- that an
overturned lamp may .' have 'started the
fat'. An alarm was immediately trun
ed in from box fi, at the corner of Sev
enth and. Nun streets, and; the fire de
partmntU rt'sponded , proihptly. . The
fire ha(g,ained-BUGh headway, however.'
that thf budding was dttoiyed, ) al
though the1 adjacent property '.vas
saveV.. 'Onlythe charred frame of the
buildtng; . a two fstorj,; frame structure,
was left , standing , arid it was after
wards pulTwd' down by the firemen.
When the fire i department - arrived
some of the men discharged their, fire
,arms in th( air and. t1iechildren in' the

BLODDY RACE CONFLICT.

The men tf rom the northern part

occupiedNa. position on the west side
of Fourth street, - between - Mtt Brunjes''

Lockamy saw that trouble was : brew
ing.and he went to the other corner
among the. negroes; urging them to
leavex He told them not Ho bring on
any trouble and that it Would .be bet
4er for them to go home.! .The crowd
moved back a -.shoft -distance and one
of the negroes drew a pistol and -fired
deliberately at the whites, who had
meanwhile been joined by severalnoth
er armed men.- The pstoli shot caused
the whites to fire a volley from shot
guns,., Winchester rifles and revolvers.
Several negro.es felt under a- galling
fire,' but all ' but two jumped up and
. they fled ; Jn all directions.. Many of
them . were wpaiirded. Two men-fell in
their tca-e-ks, instantly . killed. Two
othei who were shot, ran into a
Ycfsna. house -at .11 Harnett street a
Jew leetv away inom the corner. One
of them fell on the floor, and died in a
few minutes. The other,- George Hen ry

shot in the small. of the back, ,had tx
shot rn the "left thigh, and a ball had
struck him 'behind the ..fft shoulder,
and Icrdged in his chest just 'beneath

above the heart. ' !'
