GOLD FOR EXPORT.
First Withdrawal at New York
since July Of Last Year

WASHINGTON April 24.-The Sec
retary OF the treasury today received a
Telegram from Assistant Treasurer
Jordan, at New York, stating that $977,-
700 In gold had been ordered for export.
This is the first withdrawal of any
considerable amount since July %, 1896,
when $2,000,000 was withdrawn the
last of a series of heavy shipments ex-
tending through a number of months.
Today's order has been anticipated for
number of days, sterling exchange
having been dangerously near the ship
ping point. The treasury officials are
not disturbed and do not anticipate any
general gold export movement. In any
event, they say they are perfectly sure
that European holders are not selling
American securities, because of any
dlstrust or want Of confidence in them.
The outbreak of hostilities between
Greece and Turkey is regarded as prob
ably responsible for the present de-
mand for gold. Further than this the
officials do not care to express an opin-
ion.

Stacy short on Citizens.

WASHINGTON, April 24-Quite a lively
time over the postoffice at Stacy, Chisaeo
county, Minnesota, is in progress. S. W.
Sherman was appointed, but before his COM
mission was issued, charges were filed that
he was not resident Of the place, but had
moved to- Duluth. Before action could be
taken Sherman sent on afadavits that he was
a legal Resident of Stacy, and had only been
visiting in Duluth at the time of his ap-
pointment. Then third party, a lady named
Mrs. McGregor, came into the field and pre-
sented statements to the effect that neither
Mr.. Sherman, who was appointed, or Mr..
Shorrocks, who was his opponent, were resi-
dents of Stacy the latter living outside the
county altogether. 1t is hard to tell how

No Cutting by the Lake Ferry.

MILWAUKEE, April 24.-Leading vessel
transportation men in this city deny reports
sent out from Minneapolis and Duluth to the
effect that the Great Lakes Steamship com
pany and the Wisconsin Central road have
reduced the flour rate, for export from MN
neapolis 10 the seaboard, from 221b cents to
1712 cents per 100 pounds. The story is alb
surd' they say, on the face of it, because no
line would think of cutting the rate cents
per 100 when a half a cent or a cent reduc-
tlon would insure any line all the business
1t could carry. Transportation men here de-
clare Milwaukee and Duluth will have all
the advantage which naturally accrues to
lake points, when navigation fairly opens.

From the Charleston W. Va, Gazette.
 Thomas Lanier Clingman of North Carolina, whos like old Tom Newcombe of tender memory, was sent to public institution yesterday to end his days, was, in his time, conspicuous figure in American public life. He was a mem- Der of congress more than fifty years ago, and as a senator took rank with the foremost men of that body in the days when the greatest men in the states were sent to the senate. He was one of the most eloquent of the south- ern orators in the senate, and during the civil war distinguished himself as a confederate general. Clingman is now 85 years old. and has been an inveterate tobacco chewer since his boyhood.- He has always used natural leaf, and about three years ago he told the editor of the Gazette that tobacco was his chief staff of life. He chewed a half pound a day. and for twenty-five years past has gotten up a couple of times nightly "to change quids." He said he expected to live until he was 90, if the tobacco crop of North Carolina held out He was delightful old man and hated Grover Cleveland.

From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times
 New Castle, Oct 6.-Within the mar rowly confined walls of the historic old jail yard, five prisoners, four negroes and one white man, were publicly whipped and pilloried today, recalling the barbarQus days when the thumb screw and the rack were not uncom- mon means of punishment for crime. With th= exception of one man, ne- gro, who had attempted to feloniously assault a little girl, and who richly de- served his fate, all the other culprits Were convicted on various counts, charg- ing them with petty larceny.
 Following each quarterly session of the general sessions court of New Castle county there are usually a number of culprits condemned by the judges to the pillory and the lash While the offense for which some of these prisoners suffer is no greater than the larceny of a pair of boots, or the ordinary case of pur- Joining a pocketbook or robbing a roost the prisoner must undergo the usual term of imprisonment, and if the judge deems it an aggravated case the pillory and the 'cat" are also added to his pun ishment
 
 by sickness or death, the sheriff must infiict the corporal punishment. He has no alternative but to obey the court s directions. Usually the prisoner who is to be pillorisd is brought out first, and while the crowd of impatient people gather about him and make all manner of jest of the man in the stocks, the prisoner wriggles and squirms at the post, beating a tattoo upon the floor of ! the stocks with his feet, as if to make sure that life still holds his twisted and distorted body together.
 Owing to the tardiness of Sheriff Will liam R. F'linn, who Was detained at court in Wilmington, the whippingS did not talks place on schedule time this morn- ing. Usually the hour set for the whip pings is Il o'clock and promptly at this time the gate is thrown open to admit the multitude. Young men and young women elbowed each other in their anx- iaty to get inside the inclosure. while not a few gray-ha.red old men, and even children, mingled with the morbid throng.
 A few minutes after 12 o'clock the door at the end of the jail corridor opened, and a negro walked side by side with Deputy Sheriff Conner. The crowd op- ened 8 passageway for the officer and his prisoner, and ais soon as the latter had been cuffed ho the post and stripped to the waist of his clothing the officer drew a papeT from his pocket, at the same time calling out:
 Edward Winder larceny, ten 1as11es."
 He had no sooner said this when Sher- if Flinn, holding in his hand the "cat," raised it on level with his shoulder and brought it down with terrific forc, upon the negro's back.
 When William Flamer, a tall, angular mulatto, made his appearance on the scene he was hailed with mingled jeers and cursss. Tanner had pleaded gull

for as deputy sheriff a number of years he formed a close acquaintance with young Williams. "When I read In the Independent the morning after the ar reeE that George made request for pie, it amused me and called ito mind my in- yesItment in his weakness" Auditor Kea- gle remarked yesterday. "That fellow has "a constant craving for pie, and I will never forget my trip wi.h him when l took him to the Whittier Reform school down south, in 1890 We had a hearty dinner before starting, and when we reached La.hrop George asked me to buy him a pie. l bought the desired pie. and when we reached Merced he wanted another, having disposed of the first one before Modesto was reaIched. Att Tulare I yielded to his entreaty and bought aiflm the third pie on the trip, and at Bakers field bought him the fourth pie. He ate all four of the pies and seemed to be hungry for more, but II wanted to de- liver him in good condition at tho re- fornlatory and cut him short on four pies for the trp."
 Knowing the young mans taste, one of his relatives carried him a pie the next day after he arrived at the jail, and he wiIl ih'ave pie every day if it is nor agains,ts the prison rules,
