Taylor raised his arm and the lash fell

man never moved a muscle beyond a

was blowing at the time. "One," count

The man never flinched, and not a

Porter was then released from the
post, and as he stopped to pick up his
coat he said: Another innocent man

where he will spend the next three
years, and the crowd dispersed. The
entire proceedings occupied just twelve
minutes.
IMPRESSED WITH WHIPPING.
The visiting police officials were
very much impressed with Delaware's
method Of furnishing offenders, and be-
lieyed it would be a good idea in Penn
sylvania, especially for beaters.
They examined the cat-o-nine tails
with interest.
Owing to temporary suspension of
sentence, Herbert Watson was not COM
PEELED to stand in the pillory an hour
and receive the twenty lashes awarded
him by the coirt this morning.
Watson had pleaded guilty to enter
ing and robbing the residence Of w. II
oliver at Henry Clay on Tuesday night
September 10.
It was thought that there we're ex
Itenuating circumstances which SHOULD
make it advisable to omit the lashei
and the standing in the pillory.
A meeting of the Board OF Pardoni
was to have been held yesterday at Do
yer, but there was no quorum pres
lent Representative Frizzel, however
who went to Dover in Watson's behalf
lsecured letter from Secretary Of Stat
Hughes TO Sheriff Taylor requestinl
that Watson not be whipped to-day
but that this portion of the sentenc,
be suspended till after the Novembel
meeting Of the Board Of Pardons.

of white men laying there.
There is still no reliable news from

Great clouds of dust seen ten miles TO

seem to indicate the movement of

covered a column of 400 Beers going

Beers, evidently on a Communicating
expedition, have passed Kaffir river
There are large commandos on either
side of the railway. The burghers
say they will have 1000 men. They
probably intend to join the other force
in camp seven miles from the Cape
Colony border.
Five Boer troops occupy Border Sid

with cannon. where they are awaiting
orders to destroy the line or attack
Fourteen Streams.
The railway telegraph officials have
abandoned Maribogo. The nearest
| British point of communication to
Mafeking, therefore. is understood to
be Setlagoli, 60 miles away.
While it is the general belief that
the Beers are attacking Mafeking,
there is still no confirmation of the
reports If the Beers had met with
any success 1t would surely have been

communication is in the hands of the

New York Oct 16 The international
yacht race between the Columbia and Sham
rock was started of Sandy Hook this morn
ing under very promising conditions. The
early morning hours foretold favorable winds
for the race and the excursion steamers
bound for the course were crowded with
spectators. The conditions were such that
the enthusiasm which prevailed before the
people became disgusted with the repeated
fukes was renewed and all the excursonists,
as we'll as the owners of the respective racing
yachts were in a high degree of expectancy.
The weather was hazy, but when the
yachts assembled at the rendezvous selected
for the starting line the wind was blowing
seven miles an hour aud increasing, giving
prospects for race to the finish The course
was the same as that originally fixed for the
first race, fifteen miles to stake boat and
return
At 11:O1 the Shamrock crossed the line,
being SO seconds in lead of the Columbia.
The wind was SO favorable that at 1885 the
yachts had SKINNED four miles over sea, and

the chances for successful finish continuing
favorable. The Columbia was then one
length ahead and five lengths to windwardl
The Yankee craft was doing great work
and kept it up like little demon, increasing
her lead at 1906 to half a mile.
The excursionists who went out to sea with
the hope of seeing the Columbia win the race
were almost beside themselves with joy as
they watched the glorious work of the
defender.
! But, at 1:15 when the wind was blowing
at the rate of eight knots, and the Columbis
was leading the Shamrock by full mile. the
scene of enthusiasm that prevailed among
the defenders admirers was of the mos
demonstrative kind. The wind work of tn,
Columbia was marvellous aud the Shamrock
sympathizers Joined in admiration of It,
At 2;15 the fog was so dense that it inter
fered with the view of the yachts from tn,
boundary lines of the course. The yacht
appeared at that hour to be homeward bound
the Columbia leading.
The Columbia maintained her lead to anC
around the outer stake, but at 2:3O tn,
Shamrock appeared to be gaining.
The spurt by the Shamrock was a fruitles
one. She could not cut down the lead of he
opponent and overtake her, and the Colum
ba crossed the finish line three quarters of
mile ahead
