There was a scene of desolation nnd evidences of violence and lawlessness unparalleled In the history of the city OS II result of the fcHrfuI riot here. One child was lying cold in death and nearly a score of people were suffering from the wounds of pistol balls, buck shot and missiles. The city building whs a heap of smoldering ruins and leside It steamed the water-soaked ushes of Columbia hall. The police force of the city was dis organized and scattered, the chief fleeing in desperation from the blood shed, riot and burning, crazed by what his men had done. Electric wires, deadly to the touch, lay across the streets iu the vicinity of the burned buildings nnd debris of nfl kinds was scattered far and near. The downtown streets were just as the mob left them, and although nothing was being done by the rioters, crowds of spectators, hundreds In number, hung around "waiting for something to turn up." The crowds began to Increase ns the curious spectators hurried to the scene or the trouble. A jtoliccmun appeared and then another, timid nt first, but with Increasing assurance, as no vio lence was olTcred. Then Company C, of Cant a detachment of the gallant Eighth Ohio regi n. marched down the street from the train, and. halting before the ruins of the building, tit once set to putroling the lire lines. Ther was no evidence of ill-will or disquiet on the part of the crowds at the lines. There was no talk of vio lence. The turbulent element had slunk away and order was once more fully restored. As the troops inarched up the main thoroughfare after their arrival in tho city hisses nnd groans wore heard. The lawless clement which had figured so prominently In the rioting was still In evidence! ul though no open resistance to the troops was shown. On the udvlce of friends, Mayor Young sought his olllce by back streets and alleyways, as It was feared that his presence so early after the rioting would muse u fresh out break. Later nine companies of the Fourth regiment arrived in the city und marched to the scene of the rioting. A short time after Mayor W. E. Young issued u proclamation c'oslng every saloon In Akron until further orders. If the situation demands more, drastic measures the mayor stutes that the city will be put under martial law. Wild rumors were current that mobs were being formed to go to Cleve land to lynch Peck, but there were no grounds for the rumor. Iu the Akron riot the innocent ones were those to suffer, while the guilty ones were practically uninjured. One killed, olio fatally injured und L'O iht sons more or less injured Is the result of tho mob's work, (ilcii Wilde was shot und almost lnstunly killed. Ho was In the moh and a bullet from the revolver of a policeman Iu the city hall found the lKy's warm nnd throli blug heart. The lad was ouly 11 years of ago. Another Innocent who will Jie Is Hhod.n Davidson, the 7yer jbl daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Davidson, of 111 Ally street. Sitting In a carriage with her mother and father, on the outskirts of the mpt), the deadly bullet fronPthc hands of a Milliv officer hummed harmlessly over the rioting throng and found lodgment in the skull of the child. No hope Is held out for her recovery. The resistance shown by the jiollce iilliccrs and city officials in the city hall inly served to lash the mob Into great ir frenzy. Failing In Its effort to force an entrance into the city hall, a portion of the mob run to the store of the Standard Hardware company, on Main street. about one nnd n half blocks from the scone of tho rioting. In a twinkling a largo plate glass window in the front of the store was smashed to atoms, and the mob ran into nnd looted the store. Revolvers, ritles, shotgnius, razors and thousands of rounds of ammunition were also taken, ami with thiw weapons the mob returned to the city hall. Stand ing In the front windows of the city hall, Mnyor Young, Chief of Police Harrison and other police oflicliils were haranguing the mob, endeuvoling to convince the rioters that Lou If. Peck, the colored niau, charged with us saultlng little 4-year-old Christine Minis, liml been quietly removed from the Jail during the afternoon and taken to Cleveland for safekeeping. The remarks of the mayor only In creased the nngcr of the mob. In his first attempt to quiet the mob he said that the prisoner had been taken out of the city about 4 o'clock. In an other speech ho gave i o'clock ns tho time of the prisoner's departure, nnd Iu speaking again he said 8 o'clock. They believed from the mayor's con tradictory statements that he was not telling the truth nnd that the prisoner was still In the city Jail, notwithstand ing the fact that two different commit tees had searched the building from cellar to roof without finding any trace of the prisoner. John A. Wln trode, one of tho committeemen, who made the search, stood on the roof of the bulldiiig and told the mob that Pock was not to be found. The riot ers refused to be satisfied, nnd with the cry. "To the courthouse," "To tho county Jail." they started up the hill to High street and across the com mons to the courthouse and Jail. First tlwy attacked tho Jail and were met by Deputy Sheriff Stone. On his request a committee was hurriedly appointed and every nook and corner of the jail was searched. "To the courthouse," the cry was again taken up, and a dash was made for tho courthouse across the street. Doors were battered ill, nnd tho rioters surged through the different hails nnd rooms, but without result. A dash was then made for tho treasurer's of fice, but the heavy iron doors chocked the mob. Leaving the courthouse the mob returned to the vicinity of tho city hall. "Rum them out!" was the cry from several people, and the who of the cry was an alHrmntive roar from the entire mob. Adjoining the city hall, which was constructed almost entirely of brick, was nn Immense building, which for many years prist was the principal public hall of Ak ron. This building a veritable tin-der-lxix-caught the eye of the mob ns a likely place to set a lire In the hope that the llanies would soon siread to the city buildings. No sooner thought of than It was done. The larg.' frame building was presently n mass of flames. The various lire companies responder". to the alarm, but the mob refused to penult them to work. Sev eral cowardly shots were tired at the brave firemen, and L. Manchester was the first to receive an injury. The lines of hose were cut and slashed until there was not a single stream of water playing on the devouring flames. Columbia hall was soon a ruin, but the city hall was yet standing. While the adjoining hall was burning tho Inmates of the city hall escaped through h back doorway. Resistance withdrawn, the mob made a rush for the hall. Flaming embers were thrown Into the different rooms and the build ing was soon burning. Some of tho more thoughtful ones In the mob lils-r-uted the prisoners from the hall Inf low. A stick of dynamite was thrown Into the front of the burning buildings. A terrific crash followed nnd portions of the wall crumbled away. Another charge was exploded, nnd the work of devastation was completed. While this work was In progress members of the mob, having n pecul iar sense of honor, pulled the .automo bile wagon from the station. One riot er, with a large knife In his hand, oc cupied the operator's sent, nnd nmiil the cheers of thousands, the wagon was run up nnd down the street, bump ing into telegraph ik1cs and curbstones and finally running down a steep In cline Into the canal. It was rescued In the morning and taken to a place of safety. The automobile, of which Akron was so proud, Is a hopeless wreck. The physicians of the city were on the qui vivo while the riot ing was In progress. CENSUS FIGURES. l'lttKburg and AllrBhrny Shaw Cratlfyinif flaliiH Kvpnrti From Other ('It ii-i. Pittsburg, Pa..

The leaders (if the movement relied especially upon Chang Chi Tung, viceroy at Hankow, for arms, gunpowder und other agents of destruction. A proclamation, written iu English and addressed to Europeans, was seiz ed. In it the revolutionists declared themselves opposed to the Maueliil dy nasty, but ready to uphold th- ;rescnt emperor. They expressed thetiselves as desirous of founding a "constitu tional government." of protecting for eigners and christians, and of support ing the powers against anti-foreign fanatics. The Immediate effect of the move ment has been to increase the peri! of Europeans. I'roof exists of disorder aud pillage due to tho same movement at widely separated points. The head quarters of the conspiracy is Hankow, from which point it ramified into other provinces. Several thousands of supporters of the movement have received Instruc tions to demonstrate iu the central valley of the Yung-Tsc-Kiang, but the viceroy has a sufficient force of regu lar troops to guarantee the mainte nance of order. Twelve of the conspir ators have been beheaded. BOERS REPORTED BEATEN. General Olivier, One of the Brut Dutch CoiiiiiiuikIitis Snlil to llitvo lU-en Taken Trimmer.
