POST AND PTLLoRY.
ihreo Noted Criminals Under the Lash
Saturday Morning

l he"J
rive hundred persons stood in the
jail yard ut New Castle on Saturday
and eagerly watched Sheriff Simmons
whip and plllory three noted criminals
convicted at the November term of the
general sessions court. The men were
William Wood and Edward Smith, the
two burglars, and Elias Segars, colored
the chicken thief. Segars felt his punish
ment very keenly and suffered severely
under the pain of the well -dlrected
blows of the lash.
Segars was placed in the pillory
promptly at 10 o'clock and at II o'clock
he was removed and Burglars Wood
and Smith were pilloried. The burglars
did not seem to mind this part of their
punishment very much and chatted
freely. during the entire period, fire.
quently passing remarks about their
chastisement being SO lenient. When
placed under tho lash, however, thew
formed a different opinion of Della
wares means of punishment for noted
criminals.
Segars was the first whipped. He felt
MS punishment from the first and after
he had received IA lashes, he squirmed
and begged the sheriff to scatter the
lashes more. When the seventeenth lash
was administered Segars' hands slipped
out OF the manacles' and the whipping
was deferred until the prisoner was
again securely fastened. When the
twentieth and last blow of the lash was
administered by the sheriff, Segars gave
loud, piercing yell which startled the
spectators about him.
William Wood was the next victim.
Owing to his intirmities, the sheriff
spared the culprit's back from severe
hogging. Wood received 40 lashes and
took his punishment without a murmur,
the lash being applied very lightly.
Burglar Edward Smith received 40
well-dirccted blows of the cat which
gave his back the appearance of raw
piece OF meat at the conclusion of the
logging. A little blood trickled down
the culprit's back from the heavy welts
which the whipping raised but he never
murmured. The last blow administered,
the sheriff loosened the manacles and
smith walked back to his cell in the
jail as sprlghtly as when he approached
the pillory. The whippings on Satur-
day were notable ones, in that the three
prisoners pillored and logged were CON
sidered bold and desperate criminals,

New II. s o. Connecting Line.

OxFoRD, Pa, Dec. 6.--Colonel Slaymaker
of Lancaster, and his corps of surveyors,
on the west side of the Little Elk creek in
Cecil county, Md, for the building of q
new railroad from this place to the Phila-
delphia division of the Baltimore Il Ohio
railroad. returned last evening with favor
able reports, The line has been surveyed
to Singerly on the Baltimore & Ohio
lying on the east side Of the creek, but the
owners through whose lands the line ran
have not granted right Of way, while the
property owners on the west side offered
the company better inducements. 1t was
on this ground the survey was made and
Childs' station made the point of intersec-
ton instead of Singerly. 1t is thought the
road can be built cheaper, as the peculiar
bridging will be done away with and dis
lance lessened.

THE ALLIANCE IN SUSS EX.
j. Alexander Fulton Addresses q Meeting
of Farmers at Georeetown,

GEORGETOWN, DEL, Dec5.-The first
meeting of the Farmers Alliance Of
Delaware, held in Sussex county, took
place to-day in the court house at this
place. ]. Alexander Fulton, State lee
turer, was the speaker. The meeting was
called for the purpose of discussing the
principles and purposes of the Alliance.
The speaker severely scored the legisla-
ton passed by both of the old parties in
which the farmers share was to ray the
taxes and get none of the benefits.
We demand, he said, tax on all
bonds, mortgages and other evidences of
wealth. The meeting of to-day is but a
forerunner of series which is to CON
tinue during the year until the State
election of next November shall have
been decided. The effort of the leaders
of the Alliance movement in this State
points clearly toward the organization
of distinct party to enter the coming
legislative contest and in that way the
senatorial fight.

yet except in a few cases. The disease Is
much more virulent than it was when

THE GRIP FAILED TO HOLD.
And Two Cars on Paris Tramroad Co
lided with Serious Results.

PARIS, Dec. IA serious accident oc-
Cured to-day on the cable tramroad. A
car was ascending the hill at Belleville, q
suburb of Paris, when, owing probably to
some defect in the grip, the latter refused
to hold the cable; Quite number of pas
sengers were in the car
As soon as the man in charge found that
the grip would not hold the cable he put
on the brakes, but they too refused to work
properly, and the car began to descend the
hill, gaining velocity every moment.
The passengers became frantic with fear
when they saw another car ascending the
hill below them The descending car
dashed into the other with terrific violence
and both were totally wrecked. All the
passengers in both cars were more or less
hurt and IL of them received injuries
which are very serious.
