A WHIPPED CUR.

q ChicsgO Hotel.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE Matteson house,
on Wabash avenue. was the scene Of. a
sensational affray yesterday evening, in
which DR.. Geo. Buddington, the young
man of seduction fame, figured as prom
inent party. Buddington's chief notoriety
was obtained through the disappearance
few weeks since of Annie LOTUS Jackson,
a fourteen-year girl, but he had long
enjoyed a reputation among those who
knew him as thoroughly unprinc1pled
and constituencies wretch. Only twenty
seven years old he boasted, and with rea-
son, it appears, of having ruined score
OF more of girls, and had no hesitancy in
declaring that he had deserted a wife in
New York. 1t is not quite two weeks since
he was released from the county jail,where
he was confined ou the charge ofabducting
the girl jackson, yet he comes before the
public in similar affair and gets horse
whipped. The young lady who blindly
believed all of Buddington's protestations
is Miss Lizzie Peake, pretty brunette,
daughter of Mr.. S. II. Peake, member of
gay Lothar1o, Miss Peake's father, sister
and gentleman friend became advised of
his actions, and the father determined to
punish the scoundrel as he deserved. The
opportunity was offered yesterday at $50
D. m. in the corridor of the Matteson house.
Buddington was introduced for
the first time to the father of the
girl whose ruin he contemplated
and met with the warmest reception he
ever had in his MASKING experience. He
may have been horsewhipped before, but
it isn't probable that he ever received such
thorough castigation. Miss Fannie
Peake, the elder sister of Miss Lizzie,
Prof Elidora De Campi, and Mr.. Peake
formed a small group in the hotel, which
soon became the center of attraction for
the few loungers about the Office. Miss
Peake and Prof. De Campi were the first
to greet the masher, who was even then
anxiously waiting the coming of his lady
love, but in a few minutes the father
rushed in, whip in hand. ''Mr. Peake,
this is the man you are looking for" said
the professor.
'The id scoundrel," growled
the father, and throwing off his coat began
welding the horsewhip. Blow after blow
descended upon the head and shoulders of
the masher, cutting into the flesh of his
face and raising large welts upon his
body.
''What does this mean?" shrieked Bud
dington in agony.
For answer Prof. De Campi caught him
by the arms and the father continued to
ply the whip. Miss Fannie Peake stood
by, a smile of satisfaction on her face,
CHASTITY mockery of the terror and pain
pictured on that of the horsewhipped man.
Mr.. Munger, one of the proprietors of the
hotel, leaped over the counter and endeav
ored to interfere, but when told that
the man being punished was DR..
Buddington, the seducer of fourteen-year-
old girls, he heartily Endorsed the proceed
ing by saying"All right; my house is open
for the punishment of such fellows. Give
hum HI, gentlemen" The form that had
pleased so many femi nine eyes writhed in
agony, his face was contorted and tremb-
ling with rage and fear, he strugg led for
liberty, squirming uuder each cutting lash
Blow succeeded blow, until the fathers
arm tired of its work, and with bound
the whipped masher freed himself from
the pr ofessor, who administered parting
XII ok, accelerating the speed with which
Buddington sought freedom. AS he
ran out of the hotel he
kept throwing his head over his shoulders,
glancing back in an affrighted way, fear
full of pursuit and another horsewhip. In
moment he was gone, cursing fate. When
the affair was over and Mr.. and Miss
Peake had gone to their home, Prof. De
Campi made the following statement:
II dislike to bring the name of highly
respectable family into notoriety, but as
you know of the occurrence, and as all pa
rents should be warned against this lech-
erous scoundrel,I will tell you what know.
Mr.. S. b. Peake lives with my family at
No. 1922 Wabash avenue, and has high
social connections in st. Louis,
where he formerly resided, and
was wealthy. He is now a
member of the Chicago board of trade.
Buddington made the acquaintance of Miss
Lizzie Peake some time ago without the
knowledge of her family. The fact was
made known to me by lady friend, who
informed me that Miss Peake was en-
couraging the acquaintance of very dan
gerous character, known as DR.. Budding
ton, and to look out for him. Soon after
the doctor asked permission to call on
Miss Lizzie, and I looked up his record.

Wayne, Ind, and professed to be special |

In this way he made his living. In view of !
