barn-like rooms, returning
every now and then to her
question, aDon't you think ]

The weak-eyed glrl had been
called away for a moment, and
Ralph stood looking into a cell,
where there was a man With a
gay red plume iE his hat and
a strip of red flannel about his
waist. He strutted up and
down like a drill-sergeant.

in the same room, feeling the
light that struggled 'hrougf

sat a sorrowful, intelligent En-
glish woman. Ralph noticed
that she was English at once

THERE are lots of fools who
are too wise IN their own es-
TEEN to be enlightened by a
newspaper. They are the per-
sons who sustain bogus gift eng
terprises, send to New York af-
ter brass watches, and counter
felt money (saw-dust.) Not
withstanding the oft repeated
exposure of this latter swindle
there is still a firm in New
York doing a flourishing bust
ness roping in greenies and
pocketing their cash, with ev-
cry arrival of the mail. So be
it; if they can stand it we can.

this local reputation, and the praise OF

The watch and pocket-book of Jacob
Bowser, one of the victims of the accident
on the II. & B. T. railroad ON the 1st of
November, could not be found after the ac-
cident. On the 26th ult. the watch was

name of Stuart, who alleges that he met
an unknown man ON the railroad near the
wreck and traded for the watch. Stuart
lives at Carlisle, but was one of the repair
gang at the time of the accident. The

Delavare,s WINNING Post.

The Wilmington Commercial Of Tue sday
says Three more unfor tunates, rashly i'm
Fortunate of law and justice were yoked,
tied up, and whipped in the jail-yard at
New Castle on Monday. p
They are all white men, are said to be
Germans, and, it is alleged, came from
Philadelphia, where the Dayl(paper,) which
admires the whipping post is still pub
lished. They were arrested in this city, a
few months ago with tools in their possess
sion stolen from marble yard, under cir
cumstances which induced the belief that
they were about to break into the banking
house of the Wilmington Saving Fund, at
Eighth and Market streets.
1t is probably safe to say that no three
men, charged with an offence were ever
the objects of more sympathy from the
crowed in the Jail yard, especially in the
case of George Howard. He is quite a
young and respectable-looking person,
whom no one present yesterday seemed to
believe guilty of the charges against him.
The pilloring was done in the forenoon,
when Lewis Steiue and Fredrick Hecht
were placed in the " stocks" together, and
were thus tortured for one hour. After
these two were taken down, young Howard
was taken up. While in the pillory he
firmly declared his innocence to the crowd,
and said he belonged to the three secret
Orders, and if there are any members who
see me here, they should be merciful. The
Court showed no mercy"
Shortly after clock in the afternoon
Steine was ironed to the post, and received
twenty lashes. The whipping in this case
as in the two following, was done in as hu-
name manner as possible, yet severe
enough to raise red welts and draw the
blood to the skin at every stroke. Lewis
was then returned to the Jail to stay two
years.
Frederick Hecht was next fastened up.
He told the sheriff that it was unnecessary
to iron him to the post, as he would stand
STILL He was ironed, however, but his
suspenders were not taken off, which prob
ably lightened the severity of the scat p
Howard was the third and last case for
the day. Without groan or motion OF
the muscle cord, he stood to the post, and
received his twenty lashes, very lightly laid
on, but owing to the extreme tenderness
of the skin, every blow of the lash left it's
marks in red welts"

Resoloed, That in the efforts now making

Curious Incident Of the Boston Fire.

Curious Incident Of the Boston Fire.
A rather curious contribution to the in
cidents of the late Boston fire has just come
to light. In one of the stores of the burnt
district the porter with the keys of the safe
was on hand and perceived that the fire
was rapidly approaching. In his terror he
rushed to and fro in the counting-room,
and at last caught up the plated ice-pitcher
full of water, locked it in the safe and de-
parted from the burning building in the
proud consciousness that he had accom-
plished something to save his employers
property. When, however, the safe was
taken from the ruins, it was found that the
books were uninjured. The heat which
would otherwise have charred and destroyed
the books only converted the water into
steam. At the last advices steam safes
are under advisement as the last Boston
notion"

Drugged on the Cars.

The Hartford Times says: On Wednes-
day last New York gentleman took the
cars for the purpose of visiting some friends
in Meriden. He stopped over at Norfolk
and took the afternoon train. AS he en-
tered the cars woman rose from her seat
and took one directly in front. Her male
companion offered the vacant seat to the
New Yorker, who accepted of it.
Soon after the man asked the woman for
"that bottle of sherry" which she handed
him, and he took drink, returning the
bottle to the woman. Then apoogizing for
not having asked the gentleman beside him
to drink, he asked for the bottle again.
The New Yorker at first refused to drink.
but on being pressed by the woman he did
so, and almost Immediately fell into pro-
found sleep.
When the conductor came around he
tried in vain to awake the man, and at
New Haven had him removed to hotel
where he remained unconscious until two
o'clock Thursday morning. He awoke to
find that he had been drugged and robbed
of $35 and new overcoat. No trace of the
man and woman have yet been found.

GB- Wednesday Morning as we learn
from the Pittsburg Commercial two pris-
soners confined in the Western Penitentiary
effected their escape from the institution.
One was John Carmichael and the other
Luke Rush. The former was convicted of
manslaughter, having murdered man on
the South Side, and was sentenced to the
pententiary for six years and six months
He was received in the institution on the
28th Of February, of the present year.
Rush was received from Armstrong.county,
in April last, having been sentenced to six
years imprisonment on two charges of lar
ceny. The men occupied the same cell,
and were employed at carpet weaving. The
loom they used was in their cell and took
up about one-half of it, The rest of the
cell, with the exception of a small passage
way, was devoted to the prisoners beds
During the night, indeed many nights,
they had proceeded to cut through the stone
floor and then found that an excavation of
ten feet existed below. At the bottom of
this they commenced to dig toward Sher-
man avenue, and after great labor COM
pleted tunnel to the avenue, distance
of forty feet striking daylight, ON Wednes-
day morning, just in the gutter. Since
their escape they have not been heard of.
