JUST OUT OF NEW CASTLE.

A reporter of THE MORNING HERALD yes
ter1ay met man who had served a term in
the jail at New Castle, after having had his
back badly blistered with the cat o. nine
tails. "You have not been a very great
while out of Jail |" said the reporter. "Not
very long," replied the ex- convict, "harlly
long enough to throw off that striped jacket
they make us a.present of when we leave
there" Chow many lashes did you get y
was the next question asked. "They were.
twenty, and laid on as we'll as the Sheriff
knew how to put them" "My crime, sir,
was the theft of provisions, and took them
because was starving and could neither
beg food nor get any by work." SHOW does
whipping affect one ?" TIT aint possible
that you never got licked on the bare back
when you were boy. If you have and
your father had good strong arm and
didn't know when to let up you can well
imagine what It is to be whipped at the
whipping post" "Make. your hack sore,
we'll guess it is little more comfortable to
sleep on your belly for a day or two after
wards. It is like the hoy who gets whipped
upon another part of his anatomy, he finds
it more comfortable to stand than to sit.
After this the soreness leaves but it itrhes
so that you can scarcely stand it." "Then
if man is little bit hardened to crime, he
says to himself 'Humph, not SO bad after
ALL and he is ready to run the risk of the
whipping-post again the next day by com
mitting the same offense if the opportunities
were offered him." r'There may be hostil-
| ity towards the judges and officers for the
infiction of the punishment, but after lit
tie thonght it all blows over, and If they ell
tsrtain any thoughts of vengeance they
would be at loss where to bestow their
malice. The whipping-post in my opinion
has no effect upon local thieving talent, but
it is that which comes to us from distance
that most dread the pillory and post. II

A Western View OF IL,

The Western Democrats are talking
loudly now about contesting the next Ma
tionai Convention. Thus the Cincinnati
ENQUIRER says: 'The West will claim and
get the next President, and he will be
Democrat. But the denizens of the forests,
the dwellers among the Western wildnes-
res, are magnanimous people. They are
willing to concede something to the East.
It is not unlikely that the Vice.presidency
will be offered to the East If they can
agree upon candidate. There are Dem
ecrats in the East who are seized of ability.
Massachusetts can furnish several names
and Massachusetts is fond of holding offi-
ces. There is the Hon. Georges. Hillard:
He ia not an officer-seeker, but he would
fiji almost any public place creditably'
Mr. Hillard should not be overlooked.
Then there are Gsv. Castor. and John
Quincy Adams. The latter was several
times willing to be Governor, and headed
the Democratic State ticket several success
sive wears, and served with ability in the
Massac chusetts Legislature: Besides, ne is
an Adams and Sam. Bowles and Halstead

THE FIREMEN IN THR CENTENNIAL MOVE
MENT - THEY ARE THOROUGHLY IN
EARNEsT-A CONVENTION TO BE HELD
WHERE ARE THE LEADING MEN!
Last evening the firemen of the city,
through their representatives. responded
to the call of the Water Witch Company
that the Department should do what the
Commission and the Board of Trade seem
unable to accomplish, the raising of sub
scription to erect suitable building to re-
present our State at the Centennial. There
were present, Chief Mccall, Of the Depart
ment, LIST Assistant, Vandever, 8. W. Cary,
representing the Friendship Company;
Frederick Bush, the Fame; VIM. Hanna,
the Washington; Geo. Messick, the Reli-
ance: Ed. Hamilton, the Delaware; Ezra
Lukens, the Weccacoe, and the full Com
mlttee of the Water Witch. .....
Through some Misunderstanding the
Phoenix Company was not represented, but
It was understood that the Company is will
ing to do it's share in the good work.
The meeting which was entirely informal
was presided over y Daniel O'Neil, of the
Wafer Witch. who briefly stated the object
of the meeting, to be the arrangement OF q
plan by which the Fire Department might
save the credit OF the State at the Centen-
nial, by raising the money to erect suita-
ble building at Philadelphia, to represent
the State, and he hoped that the Depart
ment would cooperate with the Water
Witch. He said that the Department would
not make any distinction in regard to who
should be first, but that each Company
should share the credit alike, although some
favored organization might succeed In rails
iuu larger amount of money than less
able company, 1t should be Department
matter and NO one would obtain more credit
than another, for all would help In the
work.
Several of the delegates present agreed
that their companies wonld take hold of the
matter in earnest, and although 1t was not
expected that any one should be bound to
any amount, each should do his best. The
other delegates assented to these views.
There was some discussion os to the pro-
bable cost of the building and the testimony
5000 could easily be raised although 1t was
of the delegates present was that II necessary
not likely that so large an amount would
be required.
Chief Mccall promised his hearty CO.
operation, and thought thst the plan sug.
gested by the Commission Of house built
i Of the thirteen timbers of the State, would
be good plan to follow, for, said he, II
would at once represent us and the thtr.
teen original States"
Upon motion of Chief Mccall the dele
gates present were requested to have .

LAWLER,S ATTEMPTED ESCAPE.


Yesterday morning the New York Herald
published additional facts concerning the
attempted escape of Lawler, the bank bur.
glar, who was connected with the attemDt-
ed robbery of the First National Bank In
this city. In Sing Sing prison. New York,
he Is confined under the alias of Kingsland.
By the statement made 1t is shown that It
was plot made by Lawler with several OF
the keepers which brtt for the early warn
ing given by the detectives, would have
proved successful and given liberty to sever
al of the prisoners. As an evidence that
these professional burglars are not poor,
one of the keepers received from Lawier
$3.50 for the part he was to take In the
affair and $500 more was to be paid some
time after, while the others to the plot
we're also to receive something. The fol
lowing is given as short sketch OF the
course Of Lawler:
Kingsland escaped from Sing Sing in
1872. He was in for robbing the Hunger
ford Bank, at Watertnwn, N. Y, and was
sentenced to ten years imprisonment In the
Auburn Penitentiary, but, through the In
Auence OF politicians and others in New
York, he was transferred to Sing Sing In
1872, and from here he soon atterward es-
capped. He was transferred with another
moi orious bank rObber known as AL. Will
lisms, alias George Bliss, who also escaped
about the same time as Kingsland. No
trace of them was found until 1873, when
an attempt was made by them and confed.
eI ates to. break open the First National
Bank at Wilmington, Delaware. BEING
alarmed they fled, but were captured next
morning. Mr.. Jackson, an officer of Sing
Sing, was sent down and identified the es
capped prison birds in Wilmington. There
Kingsland and his fellow ruffians were sen
fenced to ten years imprisonment and eact
to receive forty lashes on the bare back. II
February, 1874. Kingland and jim Brady
with some others, escaped from Whining
ton jail AMI were next heard OF in connec
tion with the Barre Bank, in Vermont
which they tried to rob, but failed. Kings
land was arrested in New York by Boston
detective about the end of August last, bu
he, fearing the consequences of trial OF
the new charges, confessed himself an es
capped convict from Sing Sing. Mr.. Jack
son went from here to New York ant
again identified Kingsland, who WIS q
once sent to his old quarters in this prison
where he has remained from the beginning
of last September until the present.

In the beginning of the lecture, Mr.. Har-
Ian defined electricity as force, and ex-

showed the magnetic influence Of electricity

instructive manner. The utmost attention

damage done was the burning OF oed ana
