l The Just Punishment Adsinistcred by an
Irate Chicago Father to a Professional
Washer.
Chicago, January 15.-"Doctor'
Buddington, the young man OF seduc-
ton fame, figured as O prominent
PARTY In q sensational ARRAY Mt the
! Matteson House, on Wabash avenue,
yesteI day. Buddington's chief noto-
riety was obtained through the disap-
pearance, n few weeks since, of Annie
| LOTUS Jackson, fourteen-year-old
girl, but he had long enjoyed reputa-
ton among those, who knew
him as thoroughly unprinci-
pied and conscienceless wretch.
Only twenty-seven years old, he
boosted, and with reason il appears, of
having ruined a score or more of girls
and he has 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 on the charge of
abducting the girl Jackson; yet he
comes before the public In "a similar
affair, and gets horse whipped. The
many girls who have listened to his
soft batteries, his seductive portrait
lures of happy futures, his promises OF
undyinr love and vows of eternal faith
fulness, will hear Of his latest affair,
and possibly weep, or possibly also
curse the new faces which have lured
their fondly cherished George from
them.
The last young lady who blindly be-
lieved all Of Buddington's protesta-
lions is Miss Lizzie Peake, a pretty
brunette, daughter of Mr.. :. III. Peake,
member of the board of trade.
Unfortunately for the gay Lothario,
Miss Peake's father, sister and gen
tleman friend became advised of his
actions, and the father determined to
punish the scoundrel as he deserved.
The opportunity was offered yesterday
afternoon, in the corridor of the Matte
son house, and Buddington was intro
duced for the first time to the father of
the girl whose ruin he contemplated,
and met with the warmest recep-
ton he ever had in his MASKING eX-
perience. He may have been horse
whipped before, but it isn't probable
that he ever received such Il thorough
castigation.
Miss Fannie Peake, the elder sister
Of Miss Lizzie; Professor Eliodoro De
Campi and Mr.. Peake formed n small
group i'm the hotel, which soon became
the center of attraction for the few
loungers about the Office. Miss Peake
and Professor De Campi were first to
greet the masher, who was even then
anXiously awaiting the coming of his
lady love, but in few minutes the
father rushed in whip in hand.
"Mr, Pealle, this is the man you are
| looking for,n said the Professor.
THE id scoundrel,n growled the
father, and, throwing Off his coat, he
began welding the horsewhip. Blow
after blow descended upon the head
and shoulders of the nlasher, cutting
into the flesh of his body.
what does this ~ shrieked
Buddington, in agony.
/ For answer Prof. De Campi caught
him by the arms, and the father con
tinued to ply the whip. Miss Fannie
| Peake stood by, II smile Of satisfaction
on her face, a CHASTITY hooking 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 endeavored to in
teriere, but when told that the man
being punished was DR.. Bnddington
the scducer of fourteen year-old girls,
he heartily endorsed the proceedings
saying: "All right. My house is
open for the punishment of such fell
lows. Give him hi, gentlemen"
The form that had pleased so many
n feminine eye writhed in agony. his
face was contorted, and trembling
with fear aud rage, he struggled for
liberty, squirming under each cutting
| lash. Blow succeeded blow, until the

freed himself from the professor, who
