Newark is in irrmcnt. Not having,
like our own town, any county politics
to Disturb the peace and quietudc of the
pace, all the interest of the town is in
Delaware College. There has been a
fine state of things at that institution
this week
1t appears that the trustees of the col
lege have not been pleased with the man.
agemrnt of the DcIarre College Retie.r,
and at Il meeting held not long since de-
ciaed that the faculty should have a cen
sorship OYER that periodical. AS the Re
rtetC is altogether private enterprise,
being published by press association
composed of about twenty OF the fore
most students, who bear all the losses,
pocket all the profits and take all the re
sponsibilties, the young journalists con-
sequcntiy objected to any censorship on
the part of the faculty. President Cald-
well in some Way received the impression
that as the managers would not submit
to a censorship of their magazine, they
would discontinue its publication. The
President recently heard William Du-
llamel, the business manager and editor
in chief, make some incidental remark to
the effect that the Recier would soon ap-
pear. The President, in an excited man.
uer, told Mr.. DuIIamel that he had
promised that he would not publish the
periodical any longer Upon Mr. Du-
lIamel denying this, the President said:
''lf You say that you tell falsehood,' and
ordered HIM to appear before the faculty.
The press association held meeting,
and the members, to the number of
twenty, adopted resolutions sustaining
AR. DulIame
1t was understood that what the trus-
tees, among whom there are several ply
sicians objected to was an advertisement
of a qnack doctor in the R,cie,c; although
this was not the ground on which the
stopping of the publication Of the paper
was requested. The Recicp has been too
independent III its utterance for the trus
tees, who have been opposed to it, parti
cularly since one of the editorial board |
handled Bavard rather rough for his vote
on the Blair Educational bill.
Mr.. DuIIamel appeared before the
faculty on Wednesday night and offered |
take out of the Recistc any Objectionable
al advertisements, but would not consent
to censorship Of the magazine. and re
fused t" stop the publication of it at !
present, rs the contract with the pub |
Usher and subscriptions would not be up |
until .july. He was then suspended from
the college for year. Mr.. DuEiamel |
then offered his resignation as a student. |
He was i'll his senior year, and would |
have graduated in June. lie is apopular
and energetic young man, and is well /
known in Elkton

kill himself, and was only prevented by
careful watching. He has been four
years in the prison. One of the convicts
in the stone shop, who is serving a SEN
tence for killing his brother, has become
very weak mentally, and has frequent
attacks of hysteria, and is often kept
locked up in his room. There is pris-
oner in the shoe shop who Is in for u
years for murder. The crime was COM
mitted in this city The mans mind is
quite affected. and he is subject to spells
of nervous prOstratiou Nervous tenn
pcraments rarely survive the terrible
strain Of such confinement One thing
that does as much as anything else to
drive the prisoners into imbeciity is
their being totally removed from the re-
Inning and cheering Influence of female
society. Oh this all authorities are
agreed.
The convict who has been longest in
the prison is Lindsey Forney, who is
serving life term for murder. 1t has
been over % years since he listened to
his sentence as it fell from the judges
lips.
HOW PRISONERS AEE PUNISHED.
Refractory and vicious prisoners are
punished with the lash, or by being i'm
INJURED in the dark dungeons. In the
latter confinement lasts from one hour to
10 days, according to the spirit of the
convict upon whom the punishment is
inflicted. While in the dungeon their
rations consist of bread and water. Dur
ing their periods of penitence they live in
total darkness. 1t has been many years
since woman was dashed, yet this
practice frequently obtained before Cen
eral Horn become warden. Now the
only punishment the women receive is
Imprisonment III the dark dungeons.
The whipping is done by the deputy
wardens, under the direction of the war
dens, in little round building in the
court yard, known as the ''back office"
Only in extreme cases is the cat Chime |
tails used, but it is kept always handy. |
Besides the whips, of which there ale
several, the wardeu's desk, or Chan Der |
OF inquisiti0n,' as some of the convicts |
style, it contains a number of police |
mems billies, pistol and sand-ba
The latter comes in play when convict
rebels against his punishment.
The warden is extremely kind hearted |
and generous, though efficient and strict,
IN his treatment of the convicts, and |
there never has been complaint of
cruelty lodged against his administra-
ton.
