They were pulled from street ears and from every public place where they sought refuge In their terror, and bealun and kicked with out mercy. The attack* were particularly fu-rce la Decatur street, which is es pecially frequented by negroes. The Flro Department was called out. to supplement the efforts of the police to control or suppress tho.inob. and In some instances powerful streams of water from the hose proved more cllicaelous than police j clubs. NegrOrtS lied in every direction, ' each pursued by a separate mob. j There were no loaders. The whole thing was spontaneous. The assaults on whit** women a\ hich provoked lhe euiute were all within the city limits. Mrs. F. Arnold was attacked In the, yard of hor home in the western part of, the ciiy at 7 o'clock and escaped by screaming for help. The negro escaped. A suspect was arrested and | taken to police headquarters, followed ! by a threatening .crowd. Mrs. Ohaftln-, living near the Sol diers' Home, was attacked in a siml- . la j- manner in the afternoon.. ' Seven similar attack . - ?nite j women by negroes have occurred in : ^one week in or close to Atlanta, jv After the mob had j finished its j ?-work it wSf discovered that an iitno- J cent, man Mad been don^ to death.

They wont about town smashing wln , dows and destroying property, prob . ably carried away by excitement and | drink. I The clamoring mobs, swaying ; through tho streets, making attacks ' upon street cars, dragging negroes I from vehicles and chasing thorn Into , ihe "Jim Crow'' quarter, had kept I tho elty in an uproar ail through the ' night*, and the police were utterly I power lows. They were laughed at in ; iheir efforts to make arrests, and cit , izens who endeavored to dissuade the | crowds of ?n#ry mrn and boys wore : derided Into silence. I Reports as to tljo number of killed , and Injured vary, of course, hut some have it that ai lea.it seventeen ue eroefl.- wero killed. Other reports j have it that not more than ten fatall I ties occurred. Tn reality only four bodies have been found at local un dertaking establishments, but I' is said that the negroes were so terrified that they carried many of the bodies to tho suburbs for interment. Fully forty blacks ami whites are known to have been hurt. A black face was a rarity In the streets. Ordinarily one sees about as many negroes as whites, but the stern experience had Its effect on the negroes : d they remained at their homes. l> Practically every home in Atlanta lacked i?s servants, the ne groes being afraid to venture through the streets to reach the places where thny were employed. Women In Peach!reo street, the fashionable residence part of the city, who have not touched a culinary utensil in years nrenared meals for their families. Tho hotels wbre prac tically without servants, and not a negro bootblack nor a newsboy was to be seen in the streets. Only once was tho mob balked, and that was when one section of It was raiding negro saloons and restaurants In Decatui*^*iH?i,et. A fire alarm was turned In and Chief Joiner, recently nominated for Mayor, came with three engines. In a few minutes he had streams of water plaving, and as soon as the water touched the mob it dissolved. Finally rising to the situation, the entire fire department, was called to Prior and Decatur streets, in the ne gro quarter, end with streams of water playing In every direction the rioters were dispersed, to gather again at noints out of reach of the water. The department remained on dufv all nigh*. The bulk of the violence took nla<-e in the first two hours, much of it in tiib-'v mlnutev. The mob afforded som?euj*ious sit uations. In .front of ytne postofflco Mormon missionaries were preaching brotherly love: less than 100 va?ds away two negroes were killed under the viaduct-. A block further down Marietta street the Salvation Army was holding forth: near by n negro was stai'hed to death, two more worn shot and others0were fatally stabbed or beaten. A Hireling of ovominent rlti/ens was held a* the Piedmont Motel to infonns'llv djsmss the riots. It was decided that the situation did not de mand any further action than the as sembly of the militia. The burden of the majority of speakers was regret that so much injur.v would be done Atlanta by this outburst of race re sentment.

Mrs. 'Denhttui's body lay in the middle of the kitchen floor, clone to the stove. Apparently, slit* had died of heart disease when about to light the fire live days bo foro, for in her stiffened Angers a match was Hutched, and the Coroner /and ambulance surgeon said she had boon dead at least that long. Double the body little John was close to his last hour. He had eaten everything his strong young Jaws could nibble, edible or inedible, and had come to tho end of his strength. Yet so great wr.s his vitality, medical,men said he would pull through. Little John's tongue was black and swollen with thirst when they found him. His voice had dwindled to a gasping whisper. One would have said his eyes were falling out of his head. The once rosy cheeks were sunken. His wrists and anklrn had gone down to nothing. From top to too he was as emaciated as children in thf horror pictures of Indian fam ines. The fatal bloating of the stom ach from prolonged starvation had not occurred, but it would have hap pened in a day or two?had the child survived bis experience that much longer. Guessing was all Mrs. Donhnm's sister, the policeman and the doctors could do when they gazed about the tiny Hat and tried to imagine what had taken place there. It was enough. On all sides were strewn crusts the baby had gnawed until they became too hard even for his rare pluck to conquer. Ho bad broken a milk bot tle to got at the contents?at any rate, he h:>d dragged the bottle off ii low table and evidently had lapped up the milk off the floor when the glass was shivered. How he avoided swallowing splinters from the bottle was a mystery, yet the physicians found no symptoms that he had done so. The little cjinp, not old enough to toddle stoutly, nevertheless had swept the bottom sholf of the pantry bare in a hunt for food, and a chair placed near showed that the baby must have tried to climb up to reach the higher ones. A small pall which had contained lard was empty, licked empty by^the starving baby, the neighbors believed. . He had oaten flour from a broken bag until tho agony of thirst made him stop. Enough Injurious substances went into-that small stomach to kill an or dinary child. ^P^vslcians said a Fifth ivenue baby wmild have succumbed In two days. Little John, being a waif?Mrs. Denhatn had adopted him from the Guardian Angel Home, Twelfth avenue and Sixty-fifth street ?fought It out for five. Instinct led him to food as long an there was any :o be had. When there was no more, ho gnawed a little cloth horse stuffed with sawdust?gnawed it until bis ibarp little teeth worked through the sloth, and doubtless he swallowed a ?ood deal of the stuffing. A rubber teething ring was found beside him, gnawed to shreds. Small John evidently slept where deep overtook him. There were signs that he had inhabited each of the 'hreo rooms. Fortunately, he was loo young to think. A child a few rears older, if not clever enough to mlock the door, might have died of ?'right at being shut in with a corpse. The baby had pulled at the old worn in's hair?Mrs. Donham was close to dxty years?and tugged at her dress ng sack in efforts to arouse her from .ho sleep of death. Kalllng that, he lerhaps ceased to notice the body. Vet?whether by chance or instinct ? he bad fallen beside it when at last nls little logs gave way under him, md his hand, shrunk to the seeming if a bird's claw, was stretched toward ;ho dead- woman. Neighbors said thov dv* not recall tearing the baby's cries. They linrd y noticed the fact that Mrs. Denbnm A-as not in evidence in the first few lays, and when at last they did, they issiimed she had gone away on a ?'isit.

Hulldings a mile away from the ex plosion were shaken and some were demolished. The dead may reach twenty-live. The telegraph offices were de stroyed. and but for the fact that (lie long distance telephone ofllce was far from the explosion, the town would have been completely shut off rom the outside world. The news was telephoned to this city within ten minutes after the ex plosion, which was heard for forty tulles, and a special train with a score of physicians and newspaper men made a (piick run to the seene. Itpllof was also sent from nearby row us. Th3 work of rescuing victims bur led under fallen buildings was b-gun at once. Plyii.3 dehl'is, pieces of timber and iron, seem to have been most disastrous to life and limb, a number of those killed being distant from the scene of the explosion. Tho car of dynamite was standing on a Louisville and Nashville Hail way siding, having lust arrived, con signed to John L. O'Connor, a rail road contractor, at Clearfield, Ky. Cars were being switched, and a car loaded with pig Iron was backed into the dynamite car, canning the ex plosion. While this is the story generally believed, the official report sent out by the Southern itnllway officials says that several men were shooting at a target fastened to the dynamite car, and that the bullets set off the dyna mite.
