Italians at Spring Valley Carry Out Their Resolution of Eviction.
Negroes Driven from the Town and Their Possessions Scattered to the Winds.
Men, Women and Children Are Chased to the Woods and Trains by Mobs.
The Authorities Stand Idly By—Gov. Altgeld Investigating—Chicago Negroes Promise Help.
PRINCETON*, 111., Aug. 7.—The Italian miners of Spring Valley made an attempt to carry out their resolution to expel all the colored people remaining in the city, and the result was one of the most disgraceful outrages ever perpetrated in Bureau county. Innocent women and children were driven from their homes, abused, insulted and their trunks and belongings dragged about and despoiled. The affair outside of Spring Valley lias created a sensation and the news spread rapidly. Condemnations of the proceedings are coming from every quarter.
The Mayor Looks On.
During part of the time Martin Deljnargo, the Italian mayor, accompanied by several Italian members of the police, were on the grounds watching the jproceedings. Mayor Delmargo said he was there to see that the negroes got away peaceably, but if this was his purpose, he did not accomplish what he went for.
Governor Makes Inquiries.
Gov. Altgeld has interested himself In the matter, and it is hoped by the friends of law and order that the reign ot mob law in Spring Valley will soon be at an end. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Sheriff Clark, of Princeton, received a message from him. In it the governor aske.l for information on the subject, and wished to know what .was being done by the otlieers of the law.
Sheriff Clark' replied, giving a brief history of the events that have transpired, being substantially in accordance with the reports printed in these columns, lie also said the authorities in Spring Valley were, doing nothing and that lie had not even been called upon by the mayor for assistance.
Driven from Tholr Homos.
At 2 o'clock Tuesday the committee appointed at Monday's mass meeting to see that the negroes were out of the town by 5 o'clock, commenced operations. Going to the "location," where only women, children and invalids were left they notified these to have their traps ready and be out insitle of two hours. Many who were slow were roughly handled and their goods kicked about and broken up. The same circumstances prevailed in every part of the city where the negroes lived, or had taken refuge. As the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy passenger traiu on the Streator and Walnut division passed through Spring Valley the passengers saw atrocious circumstances .that they cannot wipe from their memory for many years. As the train pulled into the city a lot of negro refugees who had been waiting breathlessly for the train for a fewminutes, boarded the. cars like a lot of wild animals in fear of their pursuers.
A Young Girl's Experience.
The passenger train had got out of Spring Valley but a few blocks when the engineer saw a colored girl about years old coming out of the woods and running toward the train in great distress. The engineer stopped the train at once and took on the girl who had been chased bjr several Italians for a considerable distance. It was some time before she could compose herself to relate her story. She said that a crippled relative had started from her norae with her, but that he had been shot in the shoulder, and as he could not move fast, had been left behind by her.
Will Continue the Strike.
I he indications are that the strike of the miners at Spring Valley will be continued for some time. The miners who are under the control of the Italians held a secret meeting Tuesday at which it was decided to remain out until the Spring Valley Coal company will give assurances that they will not in the future give employment to negroes. The coal company gave its ultimatum in the matter by posting in the windows a telegram from M. H. Taylor, of Erie, l'a., who is 'the president of the company The decision is as follows:
Will Not Concede Their Demands. EIUE. Pa., Aug. 6, 1895 —To S. N DAI.ZELL, General Manager Spring Valley Coal Company: Dear Sir: While the company disclaim any desire or intention of antagonizing any section ot their employes, it cannot be delegated to any one section the right of selection for employment, and therefore the demands made by the Italian miners that no colored miners should be employed cannot be acceded to. The violence charged to the three colored miners is deplored, but Is nothing as to which the company can be held responsible for any more than the violence of white miners as is reported. Post this, a reply to the demand, with hopes of an early resumption of work, when the present acuf but wrongly directed ill-feeling of the Italian miners sub-
Bides. (Signed) H. M. TATLOH, "President.", Ni'^roi'8 Promised Support.
The negroes are assembled principally at Seatonville and received telegrams from members of their race in Chicago and Peoria that gave them great encouragement. The purport of these telegrams were to stand firm and assist-
ance would soon be forthcoming. Th negroes during the last few days *ve procured a number of shotguns and small arms, and if more can now be secured they propose to march to Spring- Valley, occupy their homes, and resume their employment with the coal company. v--.-:
Among the negroes at Seator.ville are six bearing shot wounds and four who are laid up with bruised heads and shoulders from the clubbings they received Sunday.

Not a day passes but we hear of men of our race being murdered for nothing. I am tired of it. Let us teach these foreigners a lesson." lie was applauded. Robert L. Patterson, also of Spring Valley, advised the crowd to go there and be "prepared for work, not for play." "If we do not protest now," he said, "we will be kicked about by every foreigner in the country." Money was then asked for to help defray the expense of the trip and about §20 was raised. Over 100 volunteers signed the roll.

Tuesday evening during a meeting of the negroes cat Arlington hall a telegram was received from Gov. Altgeld promising that the negroes at Spring Valley would be protected in the exercise of their legal rights.
