NEGRO RoBBERs.-The three Chester
county negro men who robbed Miss Cora
johnson, while riding in carriage from
the depot at West Chester, have been ar
rested. They confessed the crime and
told how they had agreed that one should
drive the carriage slowly while the others
were to come up, one seize the horse while
the other jumped in the carriage and
held a revolver at her head and demand
ed her money. Each carried out his part
of the programme, but they say they
failed to get as much money as she says
was in her pocket-book.

seeking employment, or been discharged
for want of energy or incompetency.-
We believe that no such light punish
ment will ever be meted out again should
another such case occur in Delaware
The death penalty itself is too light a
punishment for so monstrous a fiend as
dares to main for life and kill innocent
passengers, without regard to age or sex,
to crafty his purposes. The excuse Of
Harley G. Brown, even if we give it all
the credit his friends claim, was poor
one and wholly insufficient. Our good
people are Mortified and appalled, that a
man can be found to be guilty of such a
deed. So far as we can see, the States
Attorney has fully discharged his duty and
the court has left nothing undone. The
prisoner escapes death through the tender
mercy Of twelve men sworn to try the
case by the evidence. Let no man in
future hope to escape so easily. for such
an offence, the full penalty of the law in
the case. The law subjects such crimi-
nal to the penalty of death, and it should
be, and we have no doubt will be, in-
fiicted should like offence ever be re-
peated.

THERE is wide difference OF opinion
regarding the success of woman suffrage
in Wyoming, the only place where the
women have the free use of the ballot in
this country. A late letter from the Ter
ritory contraaicts the statements pre-
viously sent out that the experiment was
a failure because only the worst kind of
women ever go to the polls, and real
benefits designed by the law are thus de-
feated. 1t is stated that large numbers
Of the better class of women regularly
vote, that they are in no sense degraded
by the suffrage, and that, so far from
there being any desire to take this fran
chise away from them, tn cir influence on
the ballot has been salutary and satisfac-
tory.

THE COURT having got through with
the case of Harley G. Brown, the Maine
train-wrecker, on Saturday, will proba-
bly, finish the Harris murder case to-day
and take up the Dodson case tomorrow.
A rumor is circulated that in the case of
William Newcomb noiie proseqm will
be entered and that Newcomb will then
be available as a witness against the
other parties. So far as we can learn
this is mere rumor. Mrs. Dodson is still
in Jail. The two daughters were held
as witnesses, but were permitted to 20
home TO Maryland on Saturday TO return
to day or tomorrow. An important
witness in the case is DR. Wright, of Kent
county, Md, Alice Dodson, one Of the
daughters, it is said, having told him OF
some matters Of delicate nature. Con.
able Rose denies the story that Mrs
Dodson had revealed anything of th,
crime 10 him.

The MAINE TRAIN WRECKER's
CAsE.-The escape of Harley G. Brown,
The Maine train wrecker, from the
dreadful death of the gallows, may be
attributed to the determined efforts and
ability Of his attorney and the tender
hearedness of our people His crime
IS one Of the most awful with which a
man can be charged. If the law does
not protect the lives of the travelling
community now, it must be made to do
so. 1t is enough that the people have to
take the risk of bad roads and the mis-
takes and mismanagement of railroad
employees, without having to incur the
risk Of being crushed to death at any
moment for the offences which these
managers may have provoked in the
imagination of some scoundrel who i.
