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.

Paris. Aug. 2S.-Otliclal dlspntohes
from Shanghai explain that thu Han
low uprising was not due to the Rox
Hs, hut U plot organized by the parti
nans of Kang Yu Wei, tho reformer,
combined wtth the secret society
known as the "Ko Lao llui," un anti
foreign orgnnixntion, who promised to
the southern viceroys a revolt against
the Peking government. 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.
