Mob OutYitted.

Asbury Park. n. j., Nov. 15.-While
an armed and determined mob stood in
the sleet few blocks from the local
jail early today, preparing to prevent
Thomas Williams. a negro from being
taken out OF town, it was hoodwinked
by Coroner Purdy. The mob had
threatened to lynch Williams, who is
accused OF having rayished and muir
dered Mario Smith, a nine year old
girl. At IL O'Clock last night it had
gathered in such numbers about the
Jail that Chief OF Police Smith became
alarmed. With drawn clubs lie and
twenty OF his men charged the crowd
which gave back sullenly to a point a
couple OF blocks from the Jail. Police
then roped off the street and declared
it closed.
Then Chief Smith mounted q box
and made n speech to the crowd. He
declared that tho negro proved an alibi
and that the coroner's jury would de-
termine whether he was innocent or
guilty. While Smith was speaking an
auto was rushed up TO the rear OF the
jail, and Coroner Purlly and several de-
tectives bundled the negro into it. The
machine swung down the street and
passed the crowd with the negro hidden
in the bottom Of the car. Within an
hour he was lodged in the jail at Free
hold. Prior to being transferred, VIII
liams was formally remanded without
bail on charge Of murder.

FROM WASHINGTON

Champ Clark, who aspires to head
the democratic house as speaker, awoke
today TO find that an OMNIBUS looking
conspiracy has already been Matched to
clip his wings ia case his hopes are
realized. The conspiracy is headed by
Representative Carlin Of Virginia, who
heads the faction which will support
Representative James Hay OF Virginia
for the speakership in case Champ
Clark refuses to accept the conditions
they propose The principal one is
that the speaker shall favor the appoint
mcnt of a committee on committees.
Representative Clark has not yet made
ND his mini and announces that
he is neither for nor against such a
scheme. As a matter Of fact, he made
it clear today that he would steer a
noncommittal course for the present.
He will make no predictions for the
democratic party until the members Of
the House arrive in Washington and
take up in common their plans for the
coming session. Champ Clark is not
the only democrat who looks for big
things for their party at the next session
Of Congress. ia will be the most i'm.

The Rise In the Seine.

Paris, Nov. 15.-The Seine at the
Royal Bridge today. reached height
of 20 feet, inches. The weather
bureau declares that fail is expected
some time during the day, but as heavy
rains are forcastcd in the upper tribu-
taries OF the river, the situation is not
regarded as hopeful. There is still an
immense body Of water penned up in
the upper rivers aud this, augmented by
further rain, will probably do great
damage when it reaches Paris.
Later in the day the hydro-metric
service Of the weather bureau officially
predicted n rise Of four feet four inches
in the Seine in Paris by Saturday.
This will put the river far out of the
normal bounds and may cut off con-
siderable railroad traffic by inundating
the depots and tracks.
The statement created considerable
alarm in Paris, where the people had
been told the river was almost at a
standstill and that no further rises were
expected at this time.
