Driven out by Organized Bands of Red Shirts. Obnoxious White Men Also Ordered to get out of Town. No Lynching Allowed. Mayor Waddell and his Police Prevent Further Killing. Rule of Whites now Prevail. Three Hundred Policemen Sworn in to Preserve Order—No Collision Between the Races Expected. No Trade at Wilmington.
Wilmington, N. C., Nov. 11.—Spirits turpentine—Nothing doing.
Rosin—Nothing doing.
Crude turpentine—Nothing doing.
Wilmington, Nov. 11.—With the killing of the Negroes yesterday the backbone of the trouble seems to have been broken. The authors of the tragedy have gone to their homes and the mob has disbanded as if in contempt of the gangs of Negroes who still hang about in the black quarters growling and threatening the whites.
