Tho Mayor Exercises for the First Time the
Extreme Penalty ON Baltimore Joe'
The mayor had four cases to dispose Of at
tho station house this morning. The only
inmate known to the citiz ans OF Lancaster
was Joe Haley, known In this city as"Balti-
moro Joe. He was released from prison
on Sunday, after serving Q 90 days term
for drunkenness and disorderly conduct
on Monday. With which money he
collected he proceeded to get drunk,
and by evening was well filled with
whitky. At the conner OF CHESTNUT
and shppen streets he was found
by two gentlemen and no complained OF
great pain. lie was taken into a house In
the neighborhood and given dose
OF Perry Davis pain killer and
warm water. When Joe drank OF
II he thought 1t was whisky and when
he discovered 1t was not he became very
noisy and was taken to the station house
This morning Joe WAS penitent as usual
and asked his honor, In view OF the fact
that he WAS retiring from office, to be le-
nient The mayor told Joe that he madO
no effort to reform after his terms of i'm.
prisonment and he would send him to the
workhouse for ninety days. This sentence
greatly angered Joe and he became very
impairment The mayor reconsidered the
sentence and made 1t six months, the great
eat penalty he could impose.
joe first appeared In the city about ak
years ago and since then he has been an al.
most constant inmate Of the county jail or
workhouse. He was a powerful man when
he first came to Lancaster and 1t frequent
ly required tho services OF half q dozen
blue coats to get him to the station house,
His constitution has been greatly broken
by dissipation, aud for the past few years
he has not resisted officers when he was
arrested.
He comes OF good family and when he
lived in Baltimore held good position
which he lost through drink. He went
from bad to worse until his family dis
carded him and he became tramp. He
has given up any idea OF mending his wsys
and expects to die In one Of the county in
stitutions.
The authorities at the work house do not
care to have him for an inmate, as he gives
them too much trouble. He Is given oppor.
tunities to skip out and generally svails
himself OF them. The last time he was sent
to that institution Joe was given an oppor.
tunity to get outside the enclosure TO
whitewash the fences on the county farm.
Joe was furnished BRUSHES and lime and he
started In TO work under the eye Of one of
the watchmen. The wstchman soon GOT
tired OF watching Joe, and when he cased
his supervision Joe skipped out sold the
whitewash brushes, got drunk on the pro.
ceeds and turned up day or two after.
wards at the station house. This is the first
time he has been sent to the work house
since he left 1t 30 unceremoniously, the
committing magistrates having since then
sent him to the county jail.
