NEw CASTLE, Feb. 1s.
To any person who was present at the
whippings on Saturday. 1t was really
amusing to read the account which

ings and got badly left. Even the
sunday Star was imposed upon by ita
correspondent from this place, and II
lad a false report. Its reporter was
not present on Saturday. and there
lore he could not give anything like a
correct story OF the whippings
A report In q Philadelphia paper
would make a person believe all the
peach growers OF Delaware were
present. Its reporter was a dandy
counter. Least said, though. is easiest
lmended.
Mine Host Hoffman. OF the jefferson
House, had regular time OF 1t on
saturday night. Nine Young men
from Wilmington were assigned to n
I"oom. Soon after getting there they
got there all right. Pillows and shoes
were USED right freely. and despite
mis- endeavors they would not stop

O'Clock OH Sunday mornlng and the
police were called in and the noisy
youths then went To bed. Yesterday
morning seven OF the nine woke IN
lin one bed, because they broke down
the other.
The room presented an awful np-
pearance. 1t Is much regretted b. a
good many that Mr.. Hoffman did not
nave them all arrested and taught a
lesson that when they come TO New
Castle they must learn to behave
Their conduct was far
from being gentlemanly.

Yesterday morning the Mayors Of

men named above for disorderly con
