Mrs. Stanton Is a widow and since the attack -

nt Spring Valley her two sons have Ilsap-
hmeared . and she believes both were killed.
lrs. Dlxdee has heard nothing from her
husband since that time , and believes ! him
dead. Bolh women say In spite ot the state-
flouts to the contrary 'rom Spring Valley .
that the reports of the outragEs have In no
way been/exaggerated , 'flmey say that the
colored ] women and children were assaulted
by the Iltlans RII brtmtally beaten , and that
It Is iniposlbie for any color t woman to
walk time streets of the town without being '
grossly Insulted. Thcy declare that all the
colored women In Spring Valley were given
until 8 o'clock tonight to get out DC the town ;
threats ot bodily Injury being made against
those who remalnet ] !
TIUEATS 01 HEVENGE.
Fully GOO colcre men met at a State
street hal this morning In response to the
call. The men were excited and the speech
were violent and etermlned. The resolu-
tons adopted asked the governor to take
Immediate acton 10 protect the colored
mIners ot Spring Vale ) Cram mob violence
and all those present pledged themselves by
vote to go to the scene this evening I no ,
word was received from the governor before '
that time.
The mass meeting or colored men convened
this evening lt Arlington ball . Thirty-first
street amid Indian avenue. The stories told 1) '
the two women Inlamed them to the highest
pitch and all manner of violent threats were
made against the Italians lt Spring Valley.
For the frt time dlrlnt the day the idemm
at movIng on Spring Valley look definite
, shate and. commitees were appointed to raise
funds to secure arms There was much ex-
ciement at the afternoon mass meetng
when a telegram was read from Governor
Algeld , saying that the ofcials of Spring
Valley and Dureau county had not asked for
aid , and I they did It would I pompty
sent This did not suit the colored men nt
mill , and there were loud cries that he was
temporizing with them ; that he knew the
local authorities would not cal on him and
the exciement was so Intense thai time moat
warlike language was usel\ Finally cooler
counsel prevailed and It was decided to give
Governor Algeh ] time to act.
A delegatbn called ( ] on General Merrlt to
ask that the United States troops be sent to
Spring Valley. They wee courteously reo
cclved b ) General Merrlt , who told the com-
mitee that In the event ot the failure at the

ALL QUIET AT THE MINES.
SPRING AI.Lgy , Ill. , Aug. 6.-The sltua-
ton Is , quiet In the city. The negroes are
making mme efforts to come back. The re-
ports at armed negroes coming tram Peoria
, and Chicago to avenge SUIII > "s ' affair caused
no unusual excitement here They would
have not only time Italian miners to deal
with , but every whie miner In the city as
well , numbering In the nehhborhood at
2OOO. Word was sent In from Laud Ind
Toluca this morning promlsln" the whites
nil the assistance necessary In ease of an
invasion of blacks from other towne. In
case of an invasion 5,000 white miners could
ba mustered In this city In less than two
hours.
The whites at this city do not apprehend
ajmy danger In that direction . They do not
express the least sorrow over the event
Dr Sunllay and invite I fall and impartial
investigation. Thc ) claim to have endured
time outrages of the blacks lS long as they
could , but they are severe In their criticism '
ot time sensatonal tales told In several special
dlEpatches to the morning dailies. A whole
list at names have ench day appeare,1 as
wounded ] all likely to die . An Associated
press correspondent , who was on thE ground
and witnessed Sunday's battle from beginning
to end , has succeeded In discovering one
wounded negro ali the Injury Is only a lesh
wound anti ] was of no serious nature. About
ten or twelve men were assalul wih sticks
or stones but not attempts to kill. Had the
moh been & 0 diposed not one could have
escaped The prime object , as state on
the ground whie the fighting \as at its
height was to scare them into leaving l
and never comnlng back again. The reports
ot a number lyIng dead In the ravInes Is
made at whole cloth and the names nien-
toned arc fictitious. _
A meeting at miners was heM today. Se\-
eral papers were denounce for their hlghl
colored and"dlstorted stories. The News )
resllondenl , who was compelell 10 fee from
the town yesterday , has not rettmrned It
was the middle class and l.mmmsinass men I
ordered him to leave , so enraged were they
at his sensational reporls. Mayor Delmago
received an anonymous letter this .xnorning .
poslmarled ChIcago , threatenIng to wipe him
and the entro city out at existence If [ d
not use his position to get the blacks In this
city agaIn.
Everything has gone along serenely sInce !
time negroes were driven out Smnday but no
'doubt trouble wi again break ont \ I they
make an ateplpt 10 come back. The SprIng
Valley Coal company has representatives at
Seatonvle trying to persuade the blacks to
return , but the latter are satisfied ] to keep '
a wa ) The mines are still Idle. Fire o'cloclc
tonight was the tm ! the negroes were given
to gel their effects out at Sprint Valley.
Nearly all their furniture has been mend to
Seatonyl ! where most at them are getting
vork In all probability the Spring \ale ) ' '
miner will return to work lomorrow morn-
! ng.
ng.PEOIA , , \u ! G.-The negroes of Peoria
'
are very much excited over the occurrences
at Spring Valley and the prospects are that
I body at them will go there tonight to
offer their sen'lcl' to the sheriff . Twenty-
hive men have already signIfied their intention
ot going and orellng . their asslstancc.

lAHSIALLTOWN , In , Aug. 6.-Special (
Tclegrarmm-Soveral ) hundred ot the delegates
have arrvC this evening to attend time
democrlt e state convention ! , which mcets
here tomorrow. Some ot the leaders think
there Is a chance to make a record thIs year ,
but do not claim to bl able to elect the (
ticket which will bo nomlnatcl ] They say ,
however , that they will be able to keep tie
republican majority down to reasonable pro-
portions. Others profess to really believe
they can defeat General Drake , the republcan
nominee for governor. On the whole a
rather coufdent tone prevails. The silver
men arc defiant and arc apparently In the
majoriy because at their rampantnCs. One
of them , Wi Wells at the , \ton Demmmocrat
said In answer to a questIon : "It's tree sliver
at IG to 1 or fight , and we arc now as ready
for a fight as we ever will be. "
" Cenmprommmi.so" Is the talk of the sound
money crowd. The IG 40 1 1lks have 10
love for the word-that Is tIme leaders have
none-but among the rank and fle are many
who lean to the pol I ) The compromIse
sU tested Is said 10 be given tangible rorm
In a Inanclal plank which reamrms time
natIonal plank or 189. and then hedges a Ite :
by favoring the enaclment at laws to put
that plunk Into executen .1m ] provldo for
the coinage of both gal ] all sliver.

Is anxiously awaited to settle the queston
of his candidacy for governor. lIe Ias not
publIcly declned : , but has written several
private letters saying he would not have it.
In the event at jmis refusal the name of John
C. hills at Davenport Is seriously ttmeumtioned .
with Colonel Joseph Elboek at Des MoInes as
Icutenant govonmmor
After a long conference with friends this
evening , following his arrival here , Judge
Dabb consented to allow his name to be pre-
sented to the commvention.
conventon.
TO GET TIm Gm IAN VOTE.
The demccrats arc anxious on the last
point In order to hod : the-German vote. Part
of It got away last 'ear. The old.tme leaders -
ers are really alarmCI They want a sound
money platorm for time sake or the Germans.
They say that on a tree sver platform the
democrats could not elect a cOlnty officer
In Scott. When Colonel lboeck arrived
today he was approached In regard to his
candIdacy for lIeutenant governor. It was
the first he hall "Ieard or the mmmatter. lie
and his trleluh
emphatcaly ttecined : begged
not to use his name. "Say for le , ali say
