Bulletin: Atlanta, (n , Sep. 23, 1 a. m.-Tho militia seeni to be a very -slow in mobilizing. At pres- 1, ent there is little excitement in the center of the city. Fighting is re- t ported on Peters street, nea, the N terminal station. From the Asso ciated Press office shots are heard frequently, The Coustitution is - authority for the statement that r 41 15 negroes have been killed. One t negro is lying dead leis than a k block from the Associated Press b1 oflice. on Forsyth sireet. 1 Foun ATTEMPS AT ASSAUr.T. b Ailanta, Ga., Sept. 22.-Four at tempts at assault on white woi mt )y negroes within or near limits of the city today, wrought white c citizens here( to a high pitch of ox c'rtement tonight. The assaults of q today followed two others of a sim ilar nature within the.week, and at it least half a dozen oLhers within the last two months and brought a climax tonight. At midnight-Gov -ernor Terrell issued an order call.. ing out eight companios of the d Fifth infantry and one battery of A light artillery. This order was not issued until tire i negroes had I been -killed and 15 taken to the 6 hospitals, five of whom will die. A These include only those cases which the police have official know. ledge of. The local newspaper men claim the number of dead is larger. The mob began its work early in the evening, pulling negroes from street cars and beating them with clubs, bricks and stones. Ne gro men and women, riding to their homes after the work of the (lay, were ruthlessly' torn from the cars or attacked on the streets, In many cases negroes retaliated during the early part of the night, but after 10 o'clock they were scarce in pub lic places. The fire department was called out to disperse the mob * on Decatur street most frequented *by the negroes and for a time seem.. ed to hold the crowd at bay. The police reserves were called out and will hold the fort until the troops can be mobilized. The mnoh seem od to lack leadership and this doubt less has prevented greater slaugh ter. AoTIVE AND) BITTER RACEi WAn. A tlanta, Ga., Sep, 22.--The dis turbance hero tonight has taken the form of an active and bitter race war. The incidents of .the day, which were given in numerous extras by thea local papers early this evening added immensely to * the usual Saturday night crowds on the stroets. A negro walking along Whitehall street, tho princi pal shopping section, was attacked about 7 o'clock, beaten and oscaped with but a few clothes on. The newvs of this attack spread rapidly and within a few moments the appear anice of a negro was tlie sigar.1 ,for a riot. The negroes scattered from the streets, going to their homes by - back alleys, or flocked to Decatur street, the home of the tougher negro element. Soon street cars were attacked iand- legroes going to their homes were taken from the cars and beat. en, stamped upon and in several oases fatally hur't. The barber shops where negroes were employed next became objets of attack. One of the hardest fights of the night took place at the Dostofilee.

This In the way George Henry Lowes once characterized Thackeray and. Dickens in the way of service to a friend: Dickens. ho said, would not give you a farthing of money, but he would take no end of trouble for you. He would spend a whole day, for in stance, in looking for the most suitable lodgings for you and would spare him self neither time nor fatigue. Thacke ray would take two hours' grumbling indecision and hesitation in writing a two line testimonial, but he would put his hand luto his pocket and give you a handful of gold and bank notes if you wanted them.
