ANGRY MOB AFTER COINS
NEGRO GUARDED WHILE WAITING
FOR PATROL WAGON.
Crowd at West and Washington
Streets Talked of Lynching Him
The Charge Against Him.

The southwest corner of West and Wash
ington streets was alive with men last night
at o'clock who threatened the life of
Joseph Coins, a negro, who attempted to
assault little Ruth King, a white girl,
twelve years old. living at 500 West Mary
land street The little girl, it is said, is
of weak mentality. The negro. who is
mulatto tried to lure her into a stable in
Pearl street. He was seen by one of the
employees in McCaffery's stable Patrol
men Rockefeller and Gillespie, who were
passing, Immediately placed Coins under
arrest
The news of the mans actions quickly
spread over the West End. Men were re-
turning from Kingans packing house, the
different foundries and manufacturing
plants in the west end of the city, and in
a short time the street was massed with
men and boys. Every street car going east
and loaded with men was stopped and
emptied of it's passengers. AS the news
spread the anger of the men increased.
Threats of lynching were made and young
men and boys were soon armed with long
clubs.
The negro was taken to a barrel house
at the corner and secreted in back room.
The crowd gathered around the front, back
and side doors and pleaded with Patrol
man Rockefeller for the man. Rockefeller
tried to get the crowd to dispense, but they
would not listen to him and then the men
began cursing. Rockefeller called for the
patrol wagon, and when 1t arrived on West
street the crowd had become so dense that
prisoner through it. The wagonman was
told to drive around in front, and immedi-
ately the great crowd surged to the front
and almost blocked the way of the officers.
The front door of the saloon was quickly
opened and Gillespie and Rockefeller came
out, guarding the negro with drawn re-
volvers AS the door opened a rush was
made, but the display of the policemen re-
volvers prevented the lawlessness contem-
plated by the crowd.
While the crowd was growing and II
looked rather dark for the two big police
men Detective Splan arrived and assisted

crowd followed but a few steps, as Detect

Coins as he stood in the back room of the
saloon said he would be glad if the police
men would let him out to the angry mob

and said they would appear this morning

FIRES in CEREALINETOWN
BLAZE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN CAUSES
DAMAGE OF $4,000.
Homes of Asher Michael and Charles
Quack and George FlicEinger's
Grocery Damaged.

A fire of unknown origin last night at
1920 o clock totally destroyed the two-story
frame storeroom and residence of Asher
Michael Nineteenth street and Sugar Grove
avenue, in Cerealinetown, besides damag-
ing the residence of Charles Quack, next
door, and the grocery of George Flickinger,
across the street The loss will probably
be $4,000, partially covered by insurance.
How the fire started is not known, as
no one was at home in the Michael resi-
dence. 1t is said the fire started In the
unused storeroom downstairs. When 1t
was discovered, the entire frame structure
was afiame. An alarm was sent in and
some delay was occasioned by the fire de-
partment in getting to the place on ac-
count of the bad roads. 1t was seen at
once that the Michael house would go, and
the attention of the department was at
once turned to saving the other buildings.
The flames from the Michael house leaped
across the lot and attacked the Quack
house, and the roof at this place was
burned off. Flying embers were blown
across the street, and the roof on Flick
myers grocery was also ignited. The loss
is about $500; the loss TO the Quack resi-
dence is about the same amount The
Michael house was a new one, having been
built last spring.

A CALL FOR PRIMARIES
CHAIRMAN ELLIOTT WILL ISSUE 1T
IN FEW DAYS.
Committee of Lawyers Has Decided
There Is No Other Way Out of
the Difficulty.

Chairman Elliott, Of the Marion county
other primary will have to be held in Gen.
ter township to select candidates for justice
of the peace and constable. The question
has been in the hands Of the executive
committee and a committee of attorneys
who are members of the executive COM
mittee. "It is decided" said Mr.. Elliott
yesterday evening, that the nominations
made at the regular primaries last March
are illegal, so far as Center township is
concerned, and it will be necessary to make
new nominations"
AT the county primaries last March five
candidates for justice of the peace were
nominated and five candidates for consta-
bic. Since then it has been discovered that
this township is entitled to but four justices
and four constables. The Democrats at
their primaries nominated four of each,
and hence are not in trouble over this
matter. Had the plan to incorporate the
town of Norwood gone through it would
have given the township an additional
justice, and the five candidates nominated
last March would have stood
When it became known yesterday morn
ing that new primaries would probably be
called number of men indicated to Chair
man Elliott that they will ask for place
the ballot. Among them were Stout.
Sheppard and Smock, who were nominated
at the March primaries. Joseph Foppiano,
Frank Casper ard Phil Maher also filed
notice that they want to be on the ticket
Chairman Elliott said last night that ne
was convinced that this is about the only
way out or the difficulty. The committee
had hoped to avoid the expense and ardu-
Gus labor incident to another primary, ana
a few days ago ii was thought that this
could be avoided. Mr.. Elliott says he can
now see no other way out of IL than to nave
another primary. He will probably issue
the call for the primaries tomorrow, ana
they will be held some time next week.
w. III. Nickerson, who is at present hold
ing the office of justice of the peace, and
who was nominated at the primaries al
ready held, said last night that he was
opposed to holding primaries again. 1T
will cost 81 900 to hold them again" he re-
marked. He says he feels that it is an in
justice on the four candidates who received
the highest number of votes to be COM
PEELED TO make the race again. Some time
ago there was a published statement to
the effect that some of the candidates al
ready nominated might bring proceedings
to prevent new primaries being held 4
