AMONG the questions to come before
the Legislature this winter, there Is,
perhaps. none Of more importance to
the State than the State prison. Gov
enor blackburn has been settling the
question Of an overcrowded prison in II
humane manner. But the relief i'm that
direction IL only temporary. Some pro-
vision must be made for greater facili-
ties for furnishing I'm civilized way.
The present site Of the State prison Il
not at all suited for further extension of
the old buildings. If, therefore, new
house il to be built, We are decidedly in
favor Of locating IT i'm Western Ken
tncky. In the event that this should be
done, we suggest the propriety of iocat-
ing il at Rociport, in this county. Thai
point is a very healthy location, and has
,he adyantaeeof railroad and river COM
mumication. Ii il i'm direct communi.
cation with all parts of Western Ken
lucky, and is centrally located. OuI
county u fltii -
accommodate such an institution. OuI
best coal beds are close to Rockport
and also the district is well timbered, SC
that all the resources and facilities fol
thebranches of manufacture usually ear
ried on in prisons are convenient
building material is abundant ano
cheap. The State can erect and oper
ate a prison at Rockport with as littl'
expense as at any point in the State
We promise if the Legislature will giv'
us a prison here to be loyal to the rub
and give liberal patronage to home IN
stitutions. We suggest the propriety O
our citizens instrueting our Representa-
lives TO ask for the Western State prison

The Recent burglary Near
Kenneft SONa1e.

The man who is supposed to be the
principal burglar in the robbery of the
Bailey Brothers, near Kennett Square,
Chester county, on the night of the 9th
of Nov, had a hearing before MaSis-
trate William Whitehead, at West
Chester, on Saturday morning, and was
committed In default of $4,000 bail. The
man is notorious character, and is
known to the police as "Gopher Bill"
but his real name is William Robinson.
His arrest was made on Chestnut street,
in Philadelphia, last Monday, by Private
Detective Spittal. The prisoner has
disclosed the names of four other per-
sons who participated in the burglary,
but their names are withheld for pru-
Dental reasons.
He had, however, private hearing at
the house of the Baileys on Thursday,
when MIR. George q. Bailey fully identi-
fed him as one of the burglars. The
prisoner, finding his case hopeless, told
the whole story and mentioned the
names of his confederates. 1t is under
stood that two of them reside in the
neighborhood of Kennett Square, and
another under surveillance. Two of the
others are well-known Philadelphia
burglars.
"Gopher Bill' is about so years of
age, and has been "crooked" all his
life,

A LarQe Funeral.

The funeral of Mrs. TilIie p. Hoch-
keppel took place from her late residence,
No. TIT Tatnall street, yesterday after
noon, at three O'Clock. The funeral was,
it is said, the largest that has ever taken
place in this city, and persons who were
present estimate the attendance ut about
seven thousand. Both sides of the side
walks were crowded with people from the
house to the grave yard.
The remains were encased in a beau
tiful casket, heavily silver mounted. The
body was dressed in white satin. By her
request she was buried in the vault of
her father, with her babe, that died on
the 4th of July last. She had large
circle of friends, who deeply mourn her
loss.
The cause of the funeral being so
largely attended, was owing,no doubt,to
the fact that some difficulty had arisen
between her husband and the Catholic
Church, to which she belonged, and un-
der the ministration of which she died.

Heavu Freight on the ". Dc N.

Citizens along the line of the whining
ton "a Northern railroad are surprised to
witness so many strange freight cars, be-
longing to western companies, pass over
thai line. An arrangement has been efiec-
ted between the Reading company and
the wilmington x Northern by which
nortion of the formers heavy western
freight now coming on the Reading, can be
shipped south; over the w. x n. by tpis
arrangement freight passing south gets
a shorter line and avoids costly transit
over the connecting line around Phlla-
delphia. This connecting line has been
a bone of contention between the COM
NAMES. The Pennsylvania company have
built an independent line around 1t and
now the Reading gives it the go-by-

CASTLE.
Special correspondence of the Gazette.
New CASTLE, Dec. 7.-Saturday
usheTed In a storm with a small fracas,
in Dobblnsville, arising out Of an old
feud which had been brought down 10
US from Coatesville, by a colony from
that section who took up quarters Id TINS
suburb about year ago. Bad ana
strong talk, with a few blows, and Its
course was run. A shower or two OF
rain during the day seemed TO bring with
it fight, for near noon, out Delaware
street, drunken brawI, with plenty OF
swearing, was INDUCED in by pair who,
failing to harm each other, laid down
and slept. During the afternoon fight
worth calling so took place at the wharf.
Officer Sands put stop to this breach OF
the peace by arrestin2 ohe OF the offend
ing parties. To this procedure his friend
demurred and citizen was requested to
leud aid to the officer who refusing to
help, the officer brought in his man
alone aud taking second trip down to
the river captured the party who had in
terfered in his making the first arrest.
At a hearing before the Mayor the fight
ing character, who claimed to live in
New Jersey, was required TO come down
with s. 80 and costs, as a salve to the
breaking of the peace. His friend who
inteI fered was lei Off with 81 and costs.
About p. IN. it began raining, We
may say pouring, and yet at there was
no abatement but it had no terrors fol-
James Mccartney who claimed, and
loudly at that, even in front of the TEN.
| pie Of justice that he came from Frank
ford, had in his day voted for Dick
Vaux. An officer called his attention to
the damp state of the atmosphere ant
laid him away from the cares of thi!
world in fort Pyle. About 10 p IN. Lev
Collins, colored citizen, put in an ap
pearance along Market street in searcl
Of an officer to whom he told that he haG
been attacked and knocked down by 8
young man whilst going OIL the street uI
an alley toward his home.
Sunday morning James Mccartney
was released from durance vile anc
| given directions as to where he woulC
find the nearest church. In less than ar
hour James was again in the tolls and az
the door closed with slam he remarked
''tOo much whisky in the water abon
here" About 10 a. m. a couple who hat
a slight misunderstanding concluded tt
retire up the river bank and fix it up. L
was to be a fair, square thing, no friends
on either side. About the time they hat
began to hurt one another an elderl,
gentleman on his way to church cam'
upon them and taking one IN each han'
separated and brought them into the city
lecturing them as to the sinfulness o
their ways.
As evening drew on number of sport
