ris, all colored and Frank Piayford, convicted of
larceny at the present term of court were pub
licly whipped on their bare backs in the iail-yard
to-day. receiving from ten to twenty lashes each.
Edwin j. Hollingsworth was confined one hour
in the pillory for forgery. The thermometer
was near zero, adding materially to the legal
punishment, and greatly aggravating the process
of torture. The first man whipped, although but
twenty two years of age, has been an inmate of
the Jail twenty times for terms ranging from three
to twelve months, and has been whipped nearly
every time. His brother William is younger,
but is treading the same infamous path.

ing them from interfering with the canal of the

of the railroad hands. including Chief Engineer
Petheram, recently arrested for violation of the
Baker conspiracy law in carrying out the orders
of Manager Milliken, were bound over for trial

waygo Manufacturing Company, whose property
had been trespassed on by the railroad.

HALIFAX, N s., Feb. 6-Mail advices from
New Foundland contain particulars of an out
detachment of the Salvation Army which late
ly began work there. The army was holding an
open-air meeting when they were surrounded by
fully 500 persons. who Interrupted their meeting
in every possible manner The army consisted
of one man and three girls The mob threw mud
on them, applied the coarsest language. and laid
violent hands on one girl. Women took prom
inent part in the outrage, and the language used
by them was of the vilest character. One young
woman slapped the face of one of the members
of the army. The army at last was forced to
retreat, and being pursued by the bowling mob,
took refuge in a house. A detachment of sol
diers from Fort Townsend dispersed the mob.
