TROOPS KEEP THE PEACE fclajcr of Policeman Heard Caught and Other Assailants Captured. Two Negroes Killed After Siege in House. I ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 25. The known dead, who have- mot death in connec tion with the riots here since last Sat , urday night, number one white man, County Policeman James Heard, and 18 negroes. To this number might be added the name of Mrs. Robert P. Thompson, an estimable white woman, who dropped dead Monday evening alter seing the negroes shot and beaten in front of her home. This, the third day of Atlanta's race war, has passed without serious dis turbances. Rumors by the hundreds have been brought to the attention of the authorities, but not In a single in stance has any of the horrible tales been veritled. The papers here have united in an agreement to print only established facts, to issue no more ex tras or specials on the riots, and the agreement is being lived up to. Following the arrest of 257 negroes at Brownville and Clark University to day and the detention of about 100 of these in the County Jail, the feeling prevailed that at last peace has been restored by a strong show of author ity. Almost simultaneously two ne groes were killed in another and dis tant part of the city by three police men, who had been sent to stop them from shooting. The main events were the ordering Into the city of four companies of state militia from outside points. Gov ernor Terrell saying the order was given as a matter of precaution rather than from any pressing necessity, and the gathering of a large representation of business and professional men to call for vigorous action by the city executives regarding negro resorts and saloons. The resolutions demanded that these places be closed and kept closed perpetually. The saloons have been closed all day, and will be until fur ther notice. There is nn increasing scarcity of negroes in factories, stores and offices, in the Postoftice and in the telegraph offices. Hundreds of Atlanta homes are without their regular cooks, and ice deliveries are conspicuous by their rarity. A law and order mass meeting was held this evening attended by repre sentative people of both races. A fund of J3600 was raised for the benefit of the victims of mob violence, and a com mittee appointed to push the relief work to a generous completion. A committee on resolutions was rhosen. of which Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, was made chairman! This committee reported res olutions protesting against the' spirit of lawlessness that has tarnished the name of Atlanta and led to the commit ting of crime; denouncing the murder of innocent people ana the wounding of others and calling upon all, good men to lift up their voices for law and order; demanding that the authorities stop the nssaults on white women, and declaring that it Is the duty of the city to care for the sick and wounded of both races and to bury the dead. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. HOLD FORT TTNTIIi KILLED Two Jfegroes Make Desperate Re sistance to Police. ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 25. In a desper ate battle at close range, at Clorang, De tween Bicycle Officers Smith and Maddox and Policeman Casen, and two dangerous negroes barricaded in a house near the corner of McGruder and Randolph streets, this morning, the negroes were killed and the police officers had narrow es capes. Officers Maddox and Smith had been notified that negroes were shooting in the vicinity of Houston and Randolph streots early this morning. When they reached the scene a negro directed them to the house in which a negro who had done the shooting had taken refuge. The officers went to the house. Officer Smith going to the rear door and Officer Maddox to the front. Officer Smith at tempted to enter and the negroes began shooting. Policeman Maddox ran around the house to his aid. As he did so he saw two negroes leaning out of the win dow firing at them. The officers returned the fire, and the negroes dropped below the window. Officer Casen had come tip In the meantime, and the three charged the house. Officer Maddox went to the window and pulled himself up, gun in hand. A pistol ball narrowly missed his head, and he fired point blank and dropped to the ground, pulling the window down with him. He then ran to the door and broke It open, his brother officers running with him. As he opened the door a gun was thrown in his face and as he dodged a bullet passed over his head. He and the other officers then fired, killing the two negroes. MAY DISMISS POSTMASTER. Government AVatches Case of Negro Who Sold Kioters Ammunition. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.

Reeder, Jr., aged 12 years, son of the Sheriff, was slightly cut. The jailers turned the hose on the re fractory negroes, but this frenzied them. The negroes finally captured the hose and turned it upon the officers and then at tacked the latter with bottles, plates, cups and saucers and with broomhandles, on the ends of which open knives were fas tened. Three of the of fleers' were hemmed in by the negroes and had to draw their pistols In order to get out of range of the bottles. The arrival of the Sheriff and police final ly quelled the' negroes.
