Another Assault at Elkton.

James Price, colored, aged thirty
five years, was committed to Elkton
jail by Justice Philip M. Groves on
the charge of burglary and feloni-
GUS assault upon Mrs. Sarah Simon,
aged sixtyfve years.
Mrs. Simon resides alone on
North street extended, Elkton, and
on Friday night shortly before mid
night was startled by the fumes
from a match. She raised herself
up in bed to ascertain the cause of
the trouble, when she saw colored
man strike another match, and as
he did so slowly creep up to her
bed and before she had time to get
out was caught by the negro and
dragged to the floor. She and the
negro struggled for a time, Mrs.
Simon getting the best of her assail-
ant, as she used her finger nails to
good effect. The negro, afraid of
assistance arriving in answer to her
cries, broke away from her and
made his escape from a window
In his hurry he lost his hat.
Neighbors were soon on the scene
and while Mrs. Simon was not in
jured beyond a few scratches on
the breast and face, she was greatly
weakened by the struggle and over
come by the shock.
Sheriff Conoly and officer Biddle
subsequently arrested James Price,
who was employed at the residence
of Albert Constable. The Negroes
face plainly showed the marks OF
Mrs. Simon's finger nails, scratches
extending across his face and nose.
Mrs. Simon was able to be present
at the hearing and identify the
man. His hat was identified by
several parties.
Elkton had better organize Wig.
lance committee and pick out her
ornery niggers, select them from the
good, they are all known, and
notify them to leave. Otherwise
an outrage on some white girl will
because of disgrace by mob hanging
one of these days. 1t is no use to
preach law and order and moralize,
American blood will not stand
negro outrages on white women and
girls. Every part of the country
will act in the same summary man
ner, North, South, East and West.
1t is very rare thing to hear OF
those Outrages by white men, and
it is grown to be very common on
the part of negroes, and right here
in Cecil county. The decent col,
Ored people would no doubt join in
a Kidding out process rather than

A Book for the People.

Senator Stewart has written grand
book for the instruction of the masses.
The title chosen for the little volume is
Analysis of the Functions of Money!"
From Senator Stewards exhaustless store
of knowledge on the science of money he
has placed in small volume of % pages,
complete text of the money question, I"
question that is bound to overtop all
other political questions for the next
quarter of a century, if not longer. 1t is
question which the American people
, must study whether they wish to or no.
1t is the question which lies at the root of
every business in the universe, is the die
tator and shaper of present and future
civilization. 1t overtops State and church
holds society in the heart of its hand.
The following dedication of this little
volume furnishes All inkling of the
authors object and the bearing of the
contents Every young man and woman
ought to read it.
DEDICATION.
This little volume is dedicated to the young
men and women of the United States who are con-
templating matrimony with its inevitable respon.
sibilities. The comforts of life with which the
young women of this country have been sur
rounded in the homes of their fathers built in the
better days of the Republic, cannot be provided
by the young men Of the present day on account
of the hard conditions which environ them. The
families and friends of young women oppose their
marriage with young men otherwise worthy on
account of the fear that 1t will be impossible for
the united efforts of both to save them from
poverty and want.
The author believes that a careful study of this
book will enable the people, through the intel
igent exercise of the elective franchise to restore
the conditions enjoyed by former generations
when happy homes were est tbiished throughout
our vast domain. If this can be accomplished
the barrier which fear of poverty has erected be-
tween the young men and women of the country
will be removed and the sacrament of marriage
will again promise happiness. prosperity and
progress. VIM NJ. STEWART.
