A Meeting to Raise Means To-night-Ar-
resting Wilmington Mulatto.
The brutal mulatto, James Mills, who
made violent assault on little BERTHE
Howard of Tredyffrin, Chester county
Pa. six days ago, has not yet been caught
The people Of that community will hold a
meeting tonight to raise means with
which to pursue the fend. On Monday
afternoon a strange colored man answer
ing the description of Mills was noticed
lettering about the woods of James Hyatt,
near Devon station, Chester county,
and with the assistance of residents,
Constable Hall, of Tredyffrin, succeeded
in capturing him. He was taken to Paoli,
where he was found not to be the man
wanted. He gave his address as Will
mington, Del, and succeeded in proving
his identity, after which he was released.
The girl was better yesterday, but she
is still extremely nervous, and it will be
a long time before she fully RECEIVERS from
her terrible experience of Thursday night.
Many mothers in Tredyffrin, Willistown,
Paoli Duffryn Mawr, the Warren Shops,
the Valley Store Ball Shops and Howell
town are afraid to let their children go
to school, as they believe that Mills is
still lurking in the neighborhood. He is
believed to be heavily armed, as Mr.. Beck
says he had two reVolvers; and it is
thought he is likely to show fight if
anyone attempts to arrest him single

A POLITICAL INCIDENT.
Governor HiI's Friends Petitioning Presi-
dent Cleveland


A curious political incident, worth men
tioning, is the circulation in New York
city for Democratic signatures Of a me-
mortal to the President, asking him to
come out with an endorsement of Gov
ernor Hill. The paper is preceded by Mr..
Hill famous declaration, Il am Dem
ocrat, and then proceeds in this wise :
ITO Grover Cleveland, President Of the
United States and Presidential candidate
Of the Democratic party, Washington ID.
c.: We, the undersigned Democrats, de-
sirous alike of the triumph of Demo
cratic principles in the national and State
issues now joined respectfully unite in
calling your attention to the
efforts made to defeat the
regularly nominated candidate of the
Democratic party, David b. Hill, by a
faction which falsely arrogates to itself
the claim of your special friendship. The
Injury to the Democratic cause which
this faction can accomplish depends
largely upon your permission, unrebuked
of its constant assertions that you are
better than your party, and that 'pri-
vately you do not favor the election of
Governor Hill
eve beg you not to delay to make
public Your emphatic denunciation of the
assertions and actions Of this undemo-
cratic faction of the party and, properly
rebuking it, so heartily to endorse Gov
ernor Hills candidacy as to render abor-
tive the efforts 20 divide the Democracy
Of the state Of New York, by falsely
trading on your name.
