The LASH IN MARYLAND.-Frederi Nd,
Sept. 24.-"Within forty-eight hours the
sheriff will take you to the county Jail, iron
you to the whipping post and infict thirty
nine lashes upon your back with rawhide,
as hard as he can lay it on"
The above sentence was meted out to
Daniel Jones, q prominent farmer OF this
county yesterday by Judge McSherry of the
Circuit Court Frederick county authorities
have decided to enforce the law Furnishing
wife-beaters with the lash, which still re-
mains on the Maryland statute books, al
though it has not been enforced for bearly
ten years.
Jones was a month ago, convicted of bru-
tai assault on his wife, prompted by insane
jealousy. The woman was so severely in
iured that she was unable to appear in court.
The sentence has created the most intense
excitement. Jones and his wife are mem
bers of old Maryland families being con-
nected by blood or marriage with many of
the most influential people in this portion
of the State. Everything that wealth and
influence could do to prevent the infliction
of the old colonial penalty was done, but
without avail.
The sentence is regarded by medical men
as exceedingly severe. 1t has been the ex-
perience in Delaware that from eleven to
white man, but the sheriff, under the law,
will be compelled TO administer the whole
thirty.nine. Jones will be the cecond white
man who has been whipped in Maryland in
nearly one hundred years, the other case
having occurred in Baltimore jail about ten
years ago.
SHOT FRoM AMBrsH.-Mr. Paul Wingard,
II we'll known citizen Of the upper portion

He sad he was driving along the public
road coming to Columbia about 8 o'clock
yesterday morning. When he had gotten

out warning, fired upon him from the
bushes about twenty-five yards behind him,
lie said he knew hs hni been hit and could
see the smoke. He had no weapon and
drove his horse up so as to get out Of the
assassin's reach. The weapon was shot
gun. There were four bullet holes in Mr..
Vineyards coat. Only one bullet struck
Him. 1t entered just under the right shoul-
der blade and ranged upwards. DR.. Taylor
failed to find it with the probe. 1t is said
that Mr.. Vineyards life has been threatened, !,
and his property has suffered by some hid

ton, ----------~rs.spppr1r-.SfE 40 DO before
his ierni sKds, st any cost He said today
that his constables had about ffy cases In
Charleston and the fun will begin soon.
The governor says he has been informed
that the grand jury in Charleston will not
bring 10 true bills against any Of the defend
ants In these liquor cases, not even in
Cbicco's case, where the proof Is Of q most
positive nature. He says he really hopes
that the grand jury will act that way, that
Il will only make the legislature more prone
to not decisively. He rays that In doing
this way the people there will simply be
damming up the waters that will finally
wipe them away.
In the course Of his conversation the
governor gave the impression that the legis-
lsture would at the coming session be asked
to create q dispensnry recorders court in
the various ciiies, which will not permit n
trial by jury to offenders, but will permit
the judge on n prima facie showing TO SEN
tence each offender and fine him.
II seems that if this method is not resort
cd 10 then there wilt be nm amendment 10
the existing laws made so that the State can
obtain change Of venue before true bill
IL found in the offenders county. leaving
the grand jury Of whatever county the case
may be transferred TO pass upon the case.

A Novel Time Table.

There has been put up in the St.
Elmo Hotel, one of Merrick's perpet-
ual railway and mail time table.
The time Of the arrival and depar-
ture of the ID. l.. &. w. Railroad and
Pennsylvania Railroad and the arrival
and closing of the mails is accurately
and simply shown by a system of imi-
tation clocks arranged under the head
ings of the different roads or mails.
Above each clock face an attachment
holds a card stating the points at
which the train stops or for which it
makes connection. Below a similar
attachment holds card marked a. m.
or p. m, showing whether the train or
mail leaves in the morning or the after
noon. Thus at glance person can
not fail to see just when a train leaves
or the mail closes for any desired
point.
