whipping Post.

There was crowd of fully five hun.
dred persons at New Castle on Satur-
day, to witness three criminals under.
go just punishment for their crimes.
At 10 O'clock William Woods and Ed
ward Smith convicted OF burglary and
larceny at the house of Robert Smith
wore brought out, and placed in the
pillory, where for the next hour they
we're stared at by the crowd. At II
o'clock they were released. and while
Smith went down the ladder quite
nimbly, Woods. who is much older,
seemed very stiff. Elias 6egars, col
ored, who pleaded guilty to stealing o
horse was the next victim, and put In
his hour in the pillory In an uncon-
cerned manner.
As soon as his time was up, and he
was released, Woods was brought out
and fastened to the post. On account
of his physical condition Sheriff Sim
mons laid on the lashes in a very merci
full manner, but, notwithstanding this
fact, his back was In a bad condition
when he was released. Smith came
next, and was also given forty lashes
and when he left the post his bach
looked as though 1t had been blistered
but no blood was drawn. Segars, who
only received twenty iashes, squirmed
considerable, and when the whipping
was partly finished managed to gel
one of his hands loose. He was agaiI
fastened to the post, and the whipping
finished.

fathers and brothers below. The res

in workings where the explosion did not
have its full effect.

uttered against the officials whose neg
lect was responsible for the calamity. The

hours before the explosion, and declared
