Death of N. w. GooIsln.

Nathaniel w. Gookin residing at No.
l0O4 French street, train dispatcher al
the p. w & b. depot, died this morning
about o'clock aged about 68 years.
Mr.. Gookin had been In Ill health for
two or three months aud latterly was
entirely confined to his house His
wife died some or years ago but hs
has ono son and two daughters who
survive him. His son Daniel keeps
news and stationery store at No. 605
Market. One daughter Is married and
lives at Council Bluffs, Iowa, and the
other daughter is single and at home.
Mr.. Gookin Is native of tho State
of Maine, and came hero in 1851 as an
engineer. He first ran wood burner
engine from Philadelphia to Havre do
Grace. He then won't back East and
engaged In business, but having the
misfortune to be burned out, he came
back to Wilmington in 1855, and ran
the engine called the Daniel Webster,
afterwards called No. 10, and the first
coal burner used on the p, w. &c b.
road. About the commencement OF
the war he was made master of tho
stenograph department under Frank
Lyle and about the year 1870 he became
dispatcher of trains and remained SO
until his death.
He was one of the most trusted en-
ployes OF the road and was ever faith
full in the discharge of every duty.
Thomas B. Brison, assistant train de-
spateher will no doubt succeed to his
position. There are but two men in
the company's employ who antedate
Mr.. Gookin. One of these ls William
Kelley in the machine departme mt and
james McNitt colored man, W no first
went into the employ OF the com pany
as laborer In the saw mil, and two
years later was made car inspe ctor,
which position he still retains. He was
80 years in the employ of tho comp any
last Thursday. He bore willing TO stf-
mony to the efficiency of Mr.. Cook n
and was much affected at hearing of
his death.

witness the inflictlon OF corporal pun
ishment on number OF criminal. The
new post and piilory is In place, and Is
9 great Improvement over the old ar
rahgement Sheriff Simmons has also
INTRODUCED another improvement IN
the way OF stretching rope ocross the
yard to keep the spectators from COM
ing too close to the post.
At 10 o'clock William III, Bradshaw
and Alexander Whartenberry, both
colored who pleaded guilty to bur-
glary and larceny were placed In the
ptllory and stood until II o'clock. One
OF these men was seen afterwards and
said that he did not suffer any. with
the exception OF stiffness under his
arms.
They. were released at IL o'clock. aud
their places taken by Andrew Jacksap
colored who pleaded guilty to burglary
and larceny and Samuel Sewell, also
colored who pleaded guilty to eimi-
lar charge.
They stood until 10 o'clock when the
whlppfng5 commenced.
Andrew Reed, who pleaded guilty
to larceny at the February term OF
court received lashes, which he did
not mind. As he left the post, he bowed
and said: 80 long boys
William II. Bradshaw, colored. was
given 20 lashes for burglary and lar
ceny. He seemed 10 suffer consider
ably, and Us he left the post said: 1T
kinder hurtet."
Alexander Whartenbery, also colored,
his companion, received 90 lasheS,
which he did not seem to mind.
Andrew Jackson, colored. received
70 lashes for burglary and larceny.
He jumped every time the lash came
down and said, ''whew, whew."
Samuel Sewell, eolored, was given
20 lashes for burglary and larceny.
At first he did net finch, but after the

lashe3 for the larceny OF six bushels OF
coal, and bore 1t well.
George Harman, colored, convicted
of larceny, was given four lashes but
will receive SIX more.
George Cummings. colored, had five
lashes for larceny but did not finch or
seem to mind II.
Ten lashes were given James vii.
liams, colored, for larccncy of ten

also stand in the pillory and get
twenty lashes more for assault with In
tent to kill.
Benaimin Caulk, colored, his com
panion, also received 10 lashes, and ne
their offence was OF an aggravated nn-
tnre, tho sherifffa1d II on pretty hard
They both iiinched, but on the whole
bore it well.
There was no blood drawn in any
case, and taken throughout the pun
ishnlent was us merciful as it was pos.
sihle to make 1t, and more SO than the
prisoners deserved.

Kissed u Burglar.

When George II. Williamson's little
girls aw0ke few nights ago in their
room in Steinway Long Island City,
thinking it was their father, spoke to
him, The thief sat down on tho side
OF their bed and tho girls smoothed
his faco with their hands and kissed
him. In the darkness they were un.
able to discern his features. His ST.
ience frig htened the elder girl, who is
about u yours old, and sho said ii was
not thoir father. The younger one
protested that it was. With this the
slider girl s2rang out of bed saying
IL rs not papa. I'm going to his room
NOW" The thief made no attem pt to
prevent her but before she had aroused

bridge at Rrnome stroct.

A bill passed the Legislature yester-
day providing for the erection of a
bridge over the Brandywine at Broome
street. The Broome street site has
steadily grown in favor during the last
twelve months since o ponderous
petition was presented to the Levy
Court to have a bridge built across the
creek at Washington street, and had
the county not been so financially In
volved with u floating debt at that
tino the bridge would no doubt have
been commenced.
II is now generally considered that
tho bridge would have been too near
Market street, end since then Broome
street has grown In favor The Park
Commissioners for u time opposed tho
Broolne street site, but that opDosi-
tlon has gradually died out They
had no objection to bridge at Clay
ton street. The 875, 600 received by the
county from the State for the Diamond
State Insane Isylum will ena-
ble the Levy Coutb to pay off all but
about IS, 600 of the floating debt OF tho
county and enable IL to take the inltia-
tive in building the bridge.
