Having secured q suitable location for
the mission church at Stepney, Father
Donohue is now to make arrangements
for building church and hopes to be
able to begin work soon. No contracts
have yet been awarded, but estimates are
being prepared and results will soon be
announced. The church will probably
be about 35x50 feet, with a height of 80
feet from floor to apex of roof and seat
ing capacity for about l25. The building
will not be deliberately finished and
should be completed by Christmas, if
work is at once begun and carried for
ward without interruption. The cost,
including the building and all furnish
ings, will probably be about $500.

SPANKED HIS WIFE.



A HumiIitating ChastIsement Meeted Out
by an Injured Husband.
From an occasional Cor. EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN, Del, Feb. 14,--A negro
by the name Of Shelly Of Snow Hill, was
lodged in jail here Tuesday afternoon for
shooting and killing q negro named John
Butts. After the murder, Shelly made
his escape, but was caught at Laurel,
from where he was brought to this town.
The two men were quarreling about a
coat, when the shooting occurred.
Some time ago man not so many miles
from Georgetown, attempted to correct
his wife, thinking gentle corporal pun
ishment would cause her to amend her
ways. The said wife for several years
was widow and, as would seem natural
had many admirers of the sterner sex.
Husband number two Is not blessed
with the sweetest temper in the world,
and when, the other evening, he returned
home from visit, he found several
admirers of the former widow present his
temper exploded beyond all control.
After he had dismissed the admirers, he
proceeded to administer punishment to
his unfaithful wife; with he did by tax
ing that pretty dame across his knee.
Then he belaboured her In most ener'
getic manner. Probably he remembered
