Negroes Cause Trouble

The town of Smyrna, ia New Castle
County, this state, is IN a reign Of terror
over what may terminate in a race war
if peace and quiet is no, soon restored In
special from that town on Tuesday, the
Philadelphia Rsd0yd said:
Last Saturday night when a negro was
arrested for knocking down a white man
the entire colored population, numbering
about 500, came to his aid, and it was only
at she points of the town bailiff's revolver
and other firearms displayed by white citi-
zens that the black mob was kept from storm
ing the town lookup.
Now the blacks declare they will take
possession Of the town next Saturday night
when they will assemble from all over the
county; but the white residents say they will
be prepared to repulse any move the darkies
may make.
The cause of the outbreak is the escape
Of John Marker, the white married man,
who was committed to Dover jail on Monday
July Fl, for crimually assaulting Is-year-old
Cora Foraker, but who nYsteriously escaped
from the corridor Of the county prison. and
for whom Governor Reynolds refuses to Offer
a reward, while James Thoroughbred, the
negro, was hanged at Dover, on August u
for similar offense
The negroes declare that none Of theii
race shall be arrested, no matter how trivial
the charge, until Marker is recaptured and
brought to justice The Governors excuse
for not offering $500 reward for Marker, as
he did for Thoroughbred, is the allegation
affecting the character of the action.
Marker is said to have previously been
| implicated in ike manner, but escaped
arrest He is now believed to be In New
/ Jersey.
The Governor will order a detachment o
the State National Guard to this town If tbs
situation becomes alarming.

A novel case was tried in Alderman
Graham's office before referees N. II.
Davis, Tohn c. Hall and John Archer,
on Saturday last Captain Thomas
Coates of school district No. Tx brought
suit against that district for services rem
dered as a lobbyist during the last ses-
sion of tie Delaware Legislature for the
sum of S38 IS. Two years ago school
district IS was divided and TX became
a seperate district but after year 1t was
found there was not enough taxable
property to support a school and 1t was
owing to their inability to raise funds
that the school had to be closed during
the past year much to the disadvantage
of the children of that district, So last
winter it was decided by the commits
sioners Of IN to ask the Legislature to
put it back on IS again and a bill to this
effect was introduced before that body on
or about January IS. The tax payers OF
the latter sent representatives to Dover
to fight the bill but the authors OF the
bill were not to be defeated and sent
Captain Coates to represent them. After
laboriug until the last Of April he sue
ceeded in having the bill become a law
or at least il was passed, whether through
his influence or not. He then returned
to his home and presented a bill before
the commissioners for little over Si7S
and after auditing the account they al
lowed him all but the S3S-I5 for which
amount the suit was brought The orig
inal bill Of SI7S.oo was for expenses and
time. The referees reserved their decis
ion until Monday morning when It was
rendered and proved TO be a non SUIT
for Coates thus throwing the costs upon
| him.

! WILLIAM A. HUNIEs took his Sunday
School class, known as the First Pres
| byetrian Fishing Club" on their annual
| fishing trip to Bowers Beach on Thurs
day last. The club consisting OF w. A.
Humes George D. Smeallie, w. Penn
Shockley,S. Wilson Ennis, Walter Davis,
lanes A. Hall, James T. Smith and w.
| John GRAY, left here i'll the morning and
drove to the shore where they at once Sc
cured the yacht Daisy" which was in
waiting, aud proceeded at once to the
fishing grounds. Upon reaching the de-
sired spot anchor was cast, and after bait
ing their lines the sport was begun. Mr..
Hnmes proved TO be the champion angler
of the club by his catch of two fish, each
weighing - ounces. Messrs. Hall, Smith
and Gray were good seconds with one
each. This was all the trout caught by
the club, although they were out long
while. No doubt they would have stayed
longer, but it was too long between bites,
the fish taking to deep water for fear they
would have to supply the table OF the
beach hotel-it being Big Thursday at
this resort. The trip was all the more
interesting on account of the PROPOSE
ton made at the outset. The one catch
ing the largest number and the one catch
ing the smallest were each to entertain
the club It was so hard to decide who
was "stuck" that it will, no doubt, be
made general and each take his trrn.
