NEW CASTLE, Feb. IA Joseph Hickey,
a middle aged white man, was whipped
with ten lashes in the county Jail yard
here while the city clock was striking
12 at noon to-day. Hickey has been at
the post before, and was convicted on
Wednesday of the larceny of q
brace and-bit. A crowd of nearly
290 persons almost filed the jail yard.
The bright sunshine gave the dreary
place a very different aspect from that
of las Saturday, when the. rain poured
in torrents and fifty umbrellas were up
lifted over the heads of the spectators
Hickey stepped briskly out of the
Jail corridor and across the yard
to the post with Warden Tucker.
He threw his coat upon the ground
mechanically, and thrust his hands in the
irons. Sheriff Simmons laid on every
lash severely and when four lashes had
been given Sim, he began to writhe in
pain. At the conclusion of the chastise-
ment, the prisoners back was covered
from neck to waist with hinge red
streaks.

quarters in This City.
The frequent daring aud well planned
robberies that have taken place in this
city within The last few weeks have
caused much uneasiness among citizens
and have set the police officers to make
thorough Investigations. Ia most cases
these Investigations have been fruitless
from the very fact that these bold rob
berries have been carried on with care
and perfection in detail that is perfectly
alarming
The Whitechapel msrders, and the
burning Of the barns have not bsen man
aged with any greater skill than has the
robberies of the last few weeks Many
Of these have been committed during the
early portion Of the evenings, when every
person was awake, and when the chances
of detection were consequently strong,
yet in scarcely an instance have the
burglars been seen or any reliable OF
accurate description of the miscreants
obtained
The police have got clue, a slight
clue to be sure, but just enough TO war
rant the entertaining Of a hope that
jnstice may vet be satisfied. Many per-
sons are Of the opinion that a band of
burglars have their headquarters in
this city, that they are residents of
Wilmington and live In different parts of
the city. Each knows the vicinity in
which he lives well. and during the day
makes himself as familiar with those
places where he means to operate as
possible. In this way they avoid c7m-
mitting the mistakes a person ignorant OF
ths locality would make The duty OF
the officers is to locate the headquarters
