THE PENINSULA RAILROAD.
Positive Statements That the Road is to be
Built and the Air Line Established.


The Baltimore Sun of to-day contains the
following article of vital Peninsula interest I:
1t Ia stated on reliable authority that the
object of the Peninsula Railroad Company
in building road from Pocomoke City,
Worcester county, Md, to Cherrystone,
Northampton county, Va, is to form con-
nection with the Pennsylvania railroad sys-
tenn for direct line South. A corps of
engineers now at Eastville, Va, on the
Westcott farm, opposite Cherrystone, locat-
ing a terminus, and another corps are at
work surveying road from Delmar, where
the Pennsylvania system connects with the
Eastern Shore railroad, to Peninsula
Junction, formerly called Newtown Junction
According to the plan the Eastern Shore
railroad, which runs from Delmar to Girls
field, will be somewhat ignored, as the pro-
posed new line will run from Delmar to
Cherrystone via Pocomoke City. The present
Peninsula railroad of Maryland extends
from Peninsula junction, where it taps the
Eastern Shore railroad to Pocomoke City.
On May % the Peninsula railroad companies
OF Maryland and Virginia will be formally
consolidated and the tracks of the former
used for side tracks for the latter when the
new road is constructed, which will be done,
1t is said, within the next eight months
1t is stated that plenty of money and en-
ergy are back of the enterprise. At Cherry
stone line of steamers will be established
to run across to Norfolk, thus forming II
direct route, which will be 10 hours shorter
than any other, it is claimed. The road will
be equipped in first-class style The local
traffic will be a secondary consideration it is
said, but efforts will be made to develop the
country.

Muldoon's Picnic.

Despite the weather last evening, good
sized audience was present in the Opera
House to witness the performance Of "Mul-
doon's Picnic" by Barry u Fay's combina-
ton. Not much can be said in praise of the
comedy, as it is styled upon the programme,
There is nothing in it, and before the two
acts are finished it becomes tiresome. The
comedy was prefaced by variety perfor-
nance of very little merit The speciality
performers seemed to be rather new to the
business, and were more than willing to
answer the faintest applause, by reappearing
upon the stage. As "MuldOon's Picnic'
has been presented three tunes in the Opera
House, and each time by poor companies, it
is TO be hoped that our amusement goers
will not be inflicted with 1t again.

Especial dispatch to the Gazette.l
NEW CASTLE, May 13.-The first install
ment of the spring whippings took place in
the Jail yard here, this morning, and was
attended by the usual crowd of morbidly
curious people. Sheriff Clark handled the
Scat"
Isaac Hayden, white, well known Will
mington thief, was first brought out, and
received twenty lashes, which made a little
blood trickle down his back. After the
whipping he sarcastically remarked that ten
of the lashes were to be credited to the
mercy of the court.
William Curtis, white, was next given 90
lashes, which also drew blood.
Henry McGregor, white, received his five
lashes with perfect composure.
William Miller, colored, after receiving &c
lashes, well laid on, remarked, Gentlemen,
| hope you are all satisfied" and then
turned several somersaults.
Nathan Demby, simple negro, laughed
heartily while his five lashes were being ad-
ministered and told the Sheriff he ought to
turn him out instead of whipping him.
The whipping lasted Is minutes.

Ewing Hunt. the Wounded Cowboy
 Spirited Away.


 The noted cowboy, Ewing Hunt, whose capture cost the life of one good man and the wounding of another, and who has been lying in the county hospital suffer ing from wound through the lungs re- ceiyed in the fight at the time of his cap ture, was quietly taken out last night, be- tween the hours of eight and nine o'clock, and put into some kind of conveyance and driven away, whence or where no one knows.
 NO ONE TO BLAMEl
 The above statement covers the whole facts, so far as can be learned. At the time of the occurrence there was no one in the front room with the patient, but there were two patients in bed in the adjoining back room and three or four convalescents sit ting out under an awning in the rear of the building They say that they heard nothing and did not know of the occur renee until few minutes before o'clock, when the janltor went into the front room and found him gone. A messenger was immediately dispatched 10 tell Dr. Good fellow, who immediately notified the sheriff.
 WHAT TAsKER AND GooDFELLOw SAY.
 An EPlTAPH reporter called upon Super. visor Tasker and Dr. Goodtellow this morning and learned the following MT. Tasker says that on Monday he called on Supervisor Joyce and had a talk with him about the removal of Hunt to the jail, but Mir. Joyce. seemed to think that the condi- ton of the patient was such that it would endanger his life, and that there was no present danger of an attempt to escape, so tho matter ended. Dr. Goodfellow said that his condition was so critical that he would have opposed fiom medical stand. point such step as cruel and liable to produce death; that he should have con. sidered any attempt at removal to even a comfortable place as dangerous, and that Tn his opinion he cannot now be removed far, and must have the best of medical at tendance, or he will surely die.
 HUNT's BROTHER.
 On Sunday last a brother of Hunt ar. rived in the city from Texas. It is said that the family are very respectable; his father and brother, the one who is or was here, are merchants and we'll off. Since the arrival of his brother, Hunt has been rapidly convalescing and in better spirits than at any time since his confinement. It may be urged by some that since the communication that appeared last week in the EpITAPH, calling attention of the prob ability of an attempt being made to rescue the prisoner, that, at least, a guard should have been placed at the hospital to prevent his escape, but the EPrrAPH will not say it, lest such remark be construed into q desire to persecute Sheriff Behan, thereby making him more "popular" than he now is, for Mir, Purdy that S!9 .te tls sIT = ! iiea..t1es lIs present bitter persecution O Sheriff Behan it will make him the mos popular man in Arizona" which is ar event, as a republican journal, the ErI TAPH does not desire to bring about
