TOWN UNDER MOB LAW The Peace at Spring Valley Is
 Broken Off. NEGROES ARE BARRED OUT A Scathing Message From the Sheriff to the
 Weak-as-Water Mayor. 1T CONSIDER YOU A COWARD" HE SAID "And if Should Send the Rifles I Might Have to Face the Same Guns'-Ths
 Governor May Be Asked
 for Troops.
1T CONSIDER YOU A COWARD" HE SAID

Princeton, H., Aug. S.-The peace en- tered into last night at Spring Valley has been broken off, and the town is un- der mob law today. The whistles of the coal shafts sounded the signals last night for the resumption of work, but this morning mobs of Italians refused to al- low the company to start their plant or negroes to re-enter the city, as was agreed upon last night. The main bus mess streets of the city are thronged with mobs, and Mayor Martin Delmargo has just telephoned the sheriff to send over thirty Winchesters from the garrison at the court house.
 Sheriff Clark replied: q consider you a coward, and that if I should send the rifles I might have to face the same guni with men 1 may be compelled to bring over. You will not get single rifle from me unless my men come here for them; and, further, if you don't take some ac- ton for the protection of life and prop erty I may go over and take possession of the city myself"
 The sheriff announced the contents of the message in Princeton, and it created a high degree of satisfaction. SheruT Clark then sent word to the mayor ask ing if he was wanted with deputies. The mayor replied:
 NO, we don't want you"
 At 5 o'clock this morning Mayor Del margo of Spring Valley, anticipating trouble from the mobs, went around to the homes of the business men and oth- CTS of the town and aroused them from sleep, summoning them to appear at the city hall at o'clock this morning for the protection of the city. At o'clock the men were sworn in as special police and it was to arm those that the mayor sent to the sheriff for rifles. The sheriff was not satisfied with many of the men selected nor with the mayor, whom he says is catering to his countrymen, the Italians.
 The first rupture after the peace ar rangement of last evening occurred when Mayor Delmargo Manager Dalzell, James O'Connor and five aldermen and representative from the various na- tionalities started out in carriages for Seatonvlle to notify the colored pee pIe assembled at that place that thay could return to their homes in Spring Valley mob of Italians met the car riages and hissed and hooted the occu- pants of them and hindered the pas sage to such an extent that the alder men, one against the other, jumped out and refused to go.. They were soon fol- lowed by the representatives of the va rious nationalities and others and finally by the mayor himself Manager Dal- zell however, went alone and notified the negroes not to return, as their lives would be in danger Sheriff Clark is in constant communication with Spring Valley and says he may soon call upon the governor for one or more companies of state militia.

AN APPEAL
From the Woman's Benevolent
Society.

cOClCGys
| The usual monthly meeting of the
Woman's Benevolent Society was held
on Tuesday, Feb. 18th, at 8 p. m., the
President, Miss Mary Elmer, In the
chair.
Full reports from Visitors were read,
showing large demands made on them
| in each ward.
The Treasurer, Miss Julia Nichols,
reported deficit, and many bills still
unpaid.
It was heartrending to hear of the
destitution and suffering caused by
want of work and the intense cold; of
children crying for bread--and the re.
port of the Treasurer mo funds" was
truly dishesrtening.
In considering ways and means to
meet this emergency, the officers of
the Society decided to open depot
for food in order to relieve at once the
suffering of the poor. Mrs. Jacob
Daley, Visitor, kindly offered room
In her home, Corner Commerce & Or
ange Sts.) for this purpose.
Will the farmers, grocers, bakers,
butchers, housekeepers, one and all,
come to the rescue and make some
contribution, no matter how small,
and send to the above named visitor.
Some of the ladies of the Benevolent
Society will be there every dav to at
tend to the distribution by aoritte1a or
ders through the visitors
By this means we hope to relieve
hunger, but food will not keep them
warm, and we have no more money to
give for coal, SO we must appeal to the
generosity of the public to send dona.
tions of money t , our Treasurer.
In former years at this season, we
have required 800 or $500. to see US
through, and as this is such a hard
winter in so many respects. we will
certainly need more.
We feel sure this appeal will be re
sponded to most promptly and gener
ously by our cit 'zens.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Two Physicians Thrown from a
Sleigh.


Sleigh.
On Saturday last County Physician
Thompson and DIR. John Moore took
out policies in an accident insurance
company.
Wednesday aft arnoon they were on
the road to the Aims House to visit
Steward Ogden professionally.
The physicians went out on the
Dutch Neck road, and started down
the road that leads from Theodore

down opposite the residence of Jacob
Schiller, who lives on the Jesse Keeper
farm, the two men of medicine were
engaged In conversation concerning
the accident insurance business. The
horse attached to the sleigh was just
cleverly jogging along, and it was
some trouble to keep In the road, as
the snow was drifting and the tracks
were covered up.
Suddenly the horse began to tremble
as 1t In a fit, and staggering an instant,
fell upon her side, breaking the shaft.
DIR. Thompson jumped from the sleigh
and was about to catch the head of
the animal, when she suddenly leaped
up, began to kick and dash ahead. In
a twinkling the sleigh was overturned,
and Dr.. Moore was pitched out head
long. He kept hold of the lines a mo-
ment, and the mare turned around.
She ran into hedge row and then got
out and started up the road on a hard
run. The sleigh was pretty badly de.
molished, but the afrightsd animal
dragged it along.
When Bakers corner was reached,
the mare ran into fence and backing
out quickly proceeded up the road to
Bridgetop. With head down she
plunged into snow drift and ives
caught by Henry Young, who lives
near by, and put In his stable. One OF
her legs was badly gashed, but it is
not thought seriously.
LIE TWO physicians procured q Ueanl
from Ed. TSler, farmer, and drove
on to the County House. They ther
went to Youug's place, procured an
other team aud drove to Bridgeton
leaving the animal there.
| Neither of the gentlemen were hurt
