Atlanta, (ia.. May 17.-An offort by
ollicers of tho law to arrest negro out
laws, who had barricaded themselves lu
a store, Msultcd to-day in tho most fatal
riot in tho history of tho city. Eight
men wore killed, 'unhiding tinco police
men, a white citizen and four nogroos.
Six people, black and white, wore
wounded. The most exciting scenes
prevailed at tho placo of tho disturbance
and all available policemen, with tho
military, had all tlu y r ml?l do to pro
vont a general riot. An entire block of
buildings was burned before tho conflict
Was terminated. <
The scene of the trngedy was on Mc
Daniel street. Tho county police first
Attempted to raid tho place alone where
the negroes bad taken refuge, and later
tho city polico were called upon tor nid.
Still later tho military were ordorod out.
In the barricaded store woro throe
negroes. It is believed there were at
first as many as ti vc, ?inti that two es
caped before daylight. Tho store was a
small arsenal, in which wore a number
of Winchester rides and a small Gatling
gun. It was a rendezvous for a gang of
thieves and inurtlorers.
After the burned hotly of Richardson
had been found au angry crowd of white
m0U seized it. and boro it towards tho
city. Chief itali threw a coition of po
lice across ;i street at the city limits anti
too'., tho hotly away from tho crowd and
sent it to tlui city in a wagon.
While tho procession was passing Will
Gregg, a negro, was hoard to remark
that it was a sliamo to kill negroes that
way, and he bad no sooner spoken tho
words than he was riddled with bullets.
Governor Candler ordored overy mili
tiaman in Atlanta lintier arms and to
romain at their company headquarters
until further orders.
The officers attempted to arrest five
negroes suspected of having beaten for
mer Policeman S. A. Kellin nearly to
death yesterday afternoon. The negroes
resisted arrest by intrenching them
selves in a house and tho fight ensued.
There are outbuildings and barbi and
shrubbery over the entire neighborhood,
which provides such shelter that it was
possible to escape from house to house
and dodge between fences without hoing
do tee ted. As soon us information of the
fight between the negroes anti thc police
reached the city wagon loatls of police
mou, heavily Ar mod, were hurried to the
scene of nc ti on ami Qovdrnor Candler
ordered out a detachment of State
militia
While returning to bis homo on Mc
Pherson road yesterday afternoon, for
mer Policeman S. A. Kerliu was waylaid
by live negroes, with whom he had had
trouble while a member of the force.
Pul for tb?; timely arrival of a trolley
car, which frightened his assailants
away, Kellin would have been killed. A
nergOAllt stationed nt Kort McPherson,
who hoard erics for help, ran to tho
place timi found Kellin unconoioiis.
At midnight County Policeman Gobion
hoard that Korlln's live assailants were
in a house on McDaniel street, and he
hastened to tho city and secured a war
rant, for their arrest from .Distict; Orr.
Policeman Golden WAS joined by offi
cers Ozhurn and Cheshire anti accom
panied by a number of Korliu's neigh
hors, i lief tiding Owen Heard, the party
started for the hiding place of tho live
negroes, arriving at 1.80 o'clock this
morning.
The house was dark,' but as the olli
cers approached the inmates opened lire
and Owen Heard led tn the ground. Ile
was borne out of range by Ids compan
ions. The house was at once surrounded
by I ho po.S80 anti daylight was aw ailee:
Indore making another advance. Tho
officers,however, had determined to make
thc arrests unaided. The house in which
the negro Richardson was belonged to
Annie Milburn, also colored. Richard
son owned t he store adjoining Die house.
Hero he kept ammunition ?ind guns,
and was, therefore, well prepared for a
fight.
Ate? o'dook this morning the group of
ollicers who had been watching the house
all night approached tho place and called
upon those within to surrender. The
answer was a volley of shots anti County
( tfllcor Rattle, dropped tlead.
The attackod party retreated some dis
tance and from behind trees anti tele
graph ?iud trolley poles onimor.ced fir
ing into the store. In ?I few minutes the
door of the house was throw i open anti
Will King, a negro, ran out anti gave
himself up to the ollicers. Inside tho
house Kiohardsoil had an unobstructed
view in three directions. One block
away Policeman Tom Grant stepped
from his shelter ttl lire into the house.
A shot from tho besieged houso killed
him before he could lire
The attacking party sent word to
nnlico headquarters and Chief of Police
Pall dispatched the reserves to the scene
in BO ver al patrol wagons.
The ollicers to whom King had given
himself ui> doterminod to make uso of
t he negro ?md at the point of a rifle they
forced liim to walk up to tho roar of the
house and fire il. As soon as the Hames
started, tho officers, eager to get tho in
mates of the house, stepped out of their
sind 1er in every direction, Again there
was a shot, from the house anti this time
Officer Edward Crabtree mot death.
An instant lalor there was another
shot, and County Policeman Robert
< Izburn tel! tlead.
Thc shooting had by this time at tracted
hund? eds of people and nearly every man
wdio came to tho scene carried a rifle.
The shooting i II to tho houso became
gonornl, citizens and officers ruing to
gether.
Governor Candlor was advised by telo
phone of t he riot ami ordered tint tho
militia. Capt. W. W. Parker, of tho 5tll
regiment, was ordered to proceed with
fifty men ?md a platoon gun to the scone
of the shooting and co-operate with the
city authorities and tho sheriff of Pulton
oounty,
Tue desperado, Richardson, had been
lost sight of. Th?! house humed rapidly
and a number of inmates were seen to
run to th?; store, to a wootl shed ?md to
a barn in th?! next lot. Orders woro
quickly given to lire those buildings ami
in a few minutes several of tho buildings
were burning.
Tho crowd increased until ?it least
three thousand people, two thousand of
Whom were armed, surrounded tho burn
ing area.
Milton Rothy, i negro, was seen to
emerge from tho mouth of tho sower. A
shout wont up anti the Hoeing negro was
shot dead. His hotly was surrounded
and was literally shot to pieces.
A crowd of enraged citizens had
scarcely finished this work when ano
ther negro was soon coming out of tho
sower. Ho, too, made a run for lifo anti
managed to got into the back yard <>f on?!
of the neighboring homos, where ho was
shot tt> death.
The fire, which had boon starte?! by
tho attacking party, spread rapidly anti
soon the entire block of buildings, al
most wholly composed of negro houses,
WAS destroyed, Tho police woro busy
arresting the few negroes found in the
vicinity. Two of them, Stevo Nisbot
and Jim Singleton, believed to bo mem
bers of Ricbardson's gang, woro arrested.
In loss than an nour tho block of
wooden houses was hftrncd to thc ground
and ?x soarch of tho ruins followed. lu
a wdbd shed io the rear of Richardson's
store ws found a skull and ntv r to lt
the stool harrol of a rifle. Iv ie believed
that tho skull represented all that is ?eft
of tho negro who did the ?hooting.
The police believe they have arrested
all the negroes directly concerned in the
?booting, but have been (riven orders by
the chief to brins into custody all suspi
cious characters lound io tbs neighbor
hood.
This is the first affair of th? kind tbat
bas ever occurred in Atlanta. It was
not io any sense a race riot, but was the
result of a negro defying the law.
Notwithstanding that the entire oity
was muoh wrought up over the killing
of the officers, order was restored with
wonderful promptness and the passions
of an enraged people were remarkably
restrained.
Twenty arrests of negroes, charged
with various misdemeanor, wore reported
by the police as late as midnight. In
nomo im tam es the oftioorf experienced
considerable diflioultly io protecting their
pri80uers from the excited crowds. One
uegro was severely injured. Perfect or

Ninety-Eight Persons Kilted and One Hundred
and Threo Injured.
Houston, Texas, May ll).-Tho latest
reports from Qoliad stato that OS persons
were killed and 108 injured by tho tor
nado whioh passed over that city yester
day afternoon. The property loss in tho

city from end to end and demolished ISO
stores and residences, many of which
cannot bo repaired.
The tornado, which was proceded by a
terrille downpour of hail, lasted only a
few minutes. Tho hail storm drove tho
people into their houses, whore they
woro caught like rats in a trap and death
dealing wind came upon thom with ter
rille force, leveling everything in its path.
Tho tornado swept an area 250 yards -
wide for a distance of ono and a half
miles. Houses collapsed as if built of
cardboard, covering the dead and injured
with debris, which necessarily makes
tho work of rescuo slow. People flocked
to the town from all of tho surrounding
country. Many of them had rolatives in
the city. Tho work of rescue has boen
carried on all day and tho funeral of
several victims took placo this afternoon.
The supply of collins was replenished
from other towns and a large force of
laboreas aro still at work digging graves
for many of tho unfortunate victims.
The citizens have porfected an organi

Most Appalling Disaster in Hisfory of Ten
nessee Mining Occurs at Coal Crock.
Coal Creek, Tenn., May 10.-Tho worst
disaster in tho history of Tennessee min
ing occurred at 1.80 o'clock this morning
when bet ween 176 and :':.'.'> men ami boys
met instant death at tho Krater ville coal
mine, located 2 miles wost of town, as A
result of a gas explosion.
Out of tho largo number of men and
boys who went to work this morning,
developments at 10 o'clock to-night show
that only ouo is alive And ho is so badly
injured that ho cannot live. This mau
was William Morgan, an aged English
man, who was a roadman in tho mine
and was blown out of tho entrance by
tho f01CO Of tho explosion.
Ono hundred and soventy-tive miners
woro chocked in for work this morning
by the mine boss. In addition to these
thore wore boys who acted as helpors,
drivers, roadmen and others to tho num
ber of perhaps fifty.
Ki at ei \ il le mine is tho oldest mino in
tho Coal Creek district, having been
opened in 1H70. It is fully throe miles
from the mino opening to tho point
whore tho men woro at work. They had
not boon at work long boforo tho terri
ble explosion occurred. There was a
fearful roar and thou Hames shot from
tho eui ranee and tho airshafts. Two
searching parties wore started in, ono at
tho main entrance, tho other through
Thistle mino, which adjoins, and in
which no mon wore at work. Tho This
tle party was unablo to make any head
way, as tho gas stifled tho workers. Tho
Fratorvillo party wont fully two miles
under tho earth until a heavy fall of
slate was encountered. At this barrier
mon worked like demons, hoping against
hope that those beyond might bo safe.
Tho scenes at the mouth of tho mino
while tho workers woro within aro be
yond description. Men, women and
children gathered around tho Frater
villo entrance. Women, whoso husbands
and sons were within, woro wild with
grief.
All day long tho rescuers toiled at tho
slate obstruction, and not until 6 o'clock
did they force an outrance through it.
lip to that hour only live dead bodies
bad been recovered and hope was still
high that many within woro safe. This
hopo was doomed, however, for whon
once tho rescuers could entor and pro
ceed, they walked along one continu
ous tomb of death. There was not a
sign of life. Every soul had perished,
tliey bolioved, although it will be early
in tho morning boforo all tho rooms can
be onterod.
Eight dead bodies woro first recovered,
and thcBO woro sont to Coal Crook.
Twenty-six moro woro soon gathored.
They wore not disfigured beyond identi
fication, and oAch corpse, as it was horno
from tho mouth of that gigantic tomb,
was soon surrounded by eager crowds of
relatives of men who were ontornbod.
Tho mino was not on fire oxcopt in re
moto portions, and all bodies will per
haps be roached boforo daylight.

was not up to requirements, that the fur

and that air-ways wore choked in places.
Ho found that 104 men woro at work on
tho day of his visit, requiring by statute
15.200 cubic foot of air por minute. The
volume of air entering the mine was only
8,000 cubic foot per minute. Tho com

this was considered amply sufficient.

Hst of th? secretary ?howod 1,098 dele
gate? present. Bealdes these there were
at least 1,000 women present to attend
the meetings of the Woman'? Auxiliary
Societies. Tho validating agent in Ashe
ville had a reoord of 4,000 ticket? wbioh
passed through his hands. There were
at least 1,000 delegates and visitor? whose
tickets were of ?uoh a form that they
ti id not need approval by the agent. A
conservative estimate put? the total
number of visitors and delegates at
5,000.
The reporta from tho various denomi
national boards ?how that more work
has been done siuoe May, 1001, than iu
any previous year's history of the de

The American Baptist Educational So

and colleges $07,066; the colleges thus
helped had themselves raised $213,942,
making a total inoreaae iu endowment of
$281,897 in one year. .

is confined to tho Southern States, South
Carolina not inoluded, reported the re
ceipt of $08,960 for the year's work,
which is ad inoreaae of $12,000 over last
year. The board employs 074 mission
aries.
The foreign mission board brought in
the best report in it? history. In ?pite of
foreign wars the work has been unusu
ally prosperous. Twenty new mission
aries have boon sent out and several
others are roady to go.
During tho year there havo boon 1,489
cou versions and baptisms, the largest
number over reported.
The receipts for tho year wore $173,439
as against $150,083 last year, a net gain of
$17,350. This board also was able to re
port all debts paid and a balance of
$5,000 in tho treasury.
lt was by a hearty vote that the con
vention decidod to raise $200,000 anothor
yoar for foreign missions.
