dashed FOR WIFE BEATING.

HAGERsTOwN, July 29.-The first
whipping administered in this county
since the passage of the act of 1872 for
wife beating, occurred here this after
noon. The prisoner was a white man
named David G. Herbert, resident
of the Cearfoss district, this county.
Herbert is tall, well-proportioned
man while his wife, who made the
complaint, is fragile, delieate-look-
ing woman. At the trial this morn
ing before Justice Bitner, it was
proven that Herbert, while intoxica-
ted last Friday, beat and choked his
wife into Inconsistencies. While
she was in that condition he grabbed
a chair, swearing that he intended to
kill her. He was prevented from
carrying his threat into execution by
his son wrestling the chair from him.
Herbert has been guilty of the same
offence several times before, and the
Justice determined to impose salu-
tary restraint upon his future conduct
by sentencing him to receive fifteen
lashes, and an imprisonment of five
days in Jail. The sheriff was notified
and at once made preparations to car
ry the sentence into execution. A
thick piece of leather, two feet in
length tapering TO the end, and joined
TO wooden handle, was selected for
the lash. The prisoner, after being
stripped to the waist, was made to
stand handcuffed to the bars of door
in the Jail. One of the deputies
counted the strokes while the sheriff
laid them on with force, and in quick
succession. During the whipping the
prisoner writhed repeatedly, and sew
eral means escaped him. After the
last stroke had fallen it was found
that portion of the prisoners back
was covered with welts, and his right
side, which the end of the strap had
lashed, was badly discolored, and in
several places ridges of clotted blood
had been raised.

Bagbv. and on the 9th Of April, 1889. he
was tried in the Hastings Court of the
city of Richmond upon that indictment
and convicted, receiving the very ex-
traordinary sentence Of nine months
confinement in the city Jail, aud fine
of $500. Now il is submitted to you,
that the undersigned, was thus
punished twice for the same
onense. which is contrary to
Law and justice. The same act cannot
be at once felony and misdemeanor,
and if the subsequent conviction in the
Hastings Court was legal las he is adj
yised it was) the fine which he paid in
the Police Court should be re-
turned to him. and he requests that
you direct it to be done accordingly.
j. X. MULLAN.
Mr.. Crutchfield was present. and he
stated that he had fined Mullan go.
and that he thought the Hastings Court
had jurisdiction IN what 1t had done,
yet be bad no objection to renting
portion Of the fine.
Mr.. Christian was of the opinion that
the Committee on Claims and Salaries
had nothing to do with this matter, and
on motion of Mr.. Carter, the petition
was ordered to be returned to the
Council with an Endorsement to that
effect.
A curious thing about this case is that
eight OF the same jury that tried
Bowen for murder. and fixed his pun
ishment at six months in jail and as
sessed his fine at s., also determined
the verdict IN Mullan S case.

Yesterday the committee from the
surviving members Of the Chesterfield
Troop. which was company b, Fourth
Virginia Cavalry, and the honorary
members of the troop, prepared the
following preamble and resolutions IN
memory of their captain, Walter G.
/ Clarke. of Midlothian. who 50 gal
lantly led them TO battle. for pre-
sentation at the annual reunion of the
troop next Saturday.
Whereas, it hath pleased Almighty
! God. iu his inscrutable wisdom. to re-
move from our ranks our lamented
Captain, Walter G.. Clarke. it IS but
lust and proper for us 10 bear tesii-
mony TO his bravery as a soldier. his
value rs a citizen. and his character as
Christian gentle man. During the
dark aud bloody days of the war when
the roar of the artillery and the clash
of the sabre was heard upon the bat
tle.felds IN which the vaiOr and bra
very of Fitz Ices brigade stood
forth in all the brillidncy of war, no
soldier welded more "trusty sword
or dinted shield than did the
lameuted Captain Walter G.. Clarke.
Company B. Fourth Virginia Cavalry.
He was every inch a soldier. and every
inch man. He shared with the la
mented Woodbridge. our distinguished
colonel. the affection of his men. and
the two were the idols OF the Chester
field Troop. Death has removed him
from the scene Of human action.
and no longer will he be with
ms 40 the roll call on our anniversary
occasions: but his memory we will
ever hold dear and sacred. Years
may come and 60. but his name will
ever remain fresh in the hearts Of his
comrades, and at each succeeding re-
union Of the Chesterfield Troop his
absence will be felt and his death
deeply depIored. He has fought his
last fight: his sword has been placed /
I'm the scabbard forever: and let rs
trust that NJ has been borne hence to /
