The Whipping Post.

No one can think of the whipping
post without a shudder, but the people
of Delaware still grow peaches and
stick to their whipping post. Its
advantages-for the whipping post has
advantages as well as the gallowS or
the new electric plan for the extinction
of crime by the killing of criminate--
are thus set forth by Gov Biggs, of
Delaware. He says: Il am not an
apologist for the whipping post, because
| don't believe that Delaware needs
any apologies to be made for her peo-
pie or her acts, and if | did they
wouldn't come with very good grace
from her executive; but | can tell you
some facts. There is not in the state
of Delaware to-day single peniten-
tiary. If man beats his wife, or sets
FIRE to a neighbor' barn, or breaks in
to a house, he isn't shut up with a lot
of other criminals, with full time and
opportunity to learn all their tricks or
deviltry that he did not know before.
AS preventive of crime the whipping
post has much greater terror than
term in a penitentiary, and | have
never known of a man that came back
for the second dose. He simply leaves
the state. Youmay rest assured that
if he stays in Delaware he lives a very
quiet life. To be sure it is a relic of
barbarism, but it is our way"
w. B. Curtis was in Superior
day last week, and gives a glowing
account of what he saw there At
West Superior, where five years ago
there was no town at all, there is
now a city of 5000 people, and Duluth
with its 10000 inhabitants, begins to
yield the point that Superior will some
day catch up and go away beyond it,
simply because of the unequal contest,
the latter being on level plain many
miles in extent, and Duluth on a steep,
rocky sidehill. Superior has several
hotels that cost over $780, and
which equal in style and management
the West or Ryan There are inn
mense elevators, coal docks, coke
ovens, steel plant, electric lights,
waterworks, a mile and a half of cedar
block paving is now being laid, and
street cars are to be running before

have made considerable fortunes there

A THEATER IN ASHES.
st. Paul Visited by n Destructive Fire
Dayidson's Opera House In Ashes.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 21.-ShorNy
af' 'er 80 thlH morning fire was discov-
cred in the Grand Opera House. The
fire originated in the gentleman's coat
room during the absence of the night
watchman. At 9:20 A. NJ, the handsome
opera house was complete ruin. The
roof at the Fourth Street entrance III
III and the inside of the house
is mass of ruins. The building
was erected by Commodore David
son, and together with the
Court Block next to it, belongs to the
Davidson estate. The building was
worth 100000 and is fully insured
Luckily the Helen Barry company,
which was to open tonight, had not had
its trunks and scenery carried In and
they were consequently safe. The
building was SO surrounded by other
buildings that the department could not
get at it. Nothing but the walls are left
standing.
The Grand Opera House is located in
the business part of the city and is sur
rounded by some of the best buildings
IN the city. Back of it is the mammoth
u lobe building while Oil either side are
large business blocks. The entire fire
department was called out and went to
NOIh Win VIII. Inc utI-
curry was about IA degrees below
zero and the water froze almost
as fast as it could be thrown from the
hose. The Grand Block, adjoining the
Opera House, on the corner of Wabasha
and Fourth Streets, soon caught and the
occupants of that building had barely
time to depart from their rooms to the
sidewalk where many of them shivered
IN scanty apparel until their clothes
were brought to them by the fremen.
At o'clock the roof fell in and the
flames spread with increased rapidity,
taking the rest of the Opera House in
quick time and very soon the theater
was completely gutte1. Occupants of
the Court and Frost blocks were driven
out by the approach OF the flames, but
it is thought these buildings will not
lose much by fire, although loss by wa
ter and the like will be considerable.
In the basement of the Opera House
building is an immense power room
from which the heat and power Jr
buildings for several squares arounL IS
furnished. By the FIRE this was slut
down and the people in the different
buildings were soon shivering with the
cold while those depending on the
power were compelled to shut down un.
til the steam engine could once more
start up. Both the afternoon dailies are
crippled by the loss of power.
The Opera House as originally built
cost 5000, 900 and recently was elegantly
reftted at an expense of 10000. The
insurance is only about 5000. The
Florences were at the Grand last week
but had removed all their property and
lost nothing. Manager Scott at once
proceeded to look after a place to

ALOCOMOTIVE RUNS AWAY.
Remarkable Accident at Bellaire, o.
Heavy Loss of Property

Remarkable Accident at Beliaire, o.
Heavy Loss of Property
One of the most unique and fortunate
accidents ever recorded happened at
the Cleveland, Lorrain & W Wheeling Rail-
road, just over the river from Wheeling
on the 18th. The yard engine was lett
on the track with steam up while the
crew went to dinner. In some unknown
way, it is supposed bv the tampering OF
small boys, the throttle was opened Just
as a passenger train passed and the
switch was thrown open. The en-
CINE quickly acquired momentum
until il was dashiug at a speed OF sixty
miles al hour over the crooked tracks,
for the most part built on high tTestie.
Over the river it wEizzed past the as
tonished people along the line clear to
Bellare, five miles from the stsrtlng
point, where it crashed into long tram
of freight cars heavily laden With coke.
The engine was demolished and y
rained coke for rods in all directions,
the train being broken into atoms. By
the merest accident nobody was hurt,
but the money loss Is heavy.
