FUGITIVE PENlTENT.
Springfield Registry Clerk Gives Him.

Springfield Registry Clerk Gives Him
 self Conscience Troubled Him.
 Springfield, Mass, July 13.--James J. Callahan, the missing registry clerk of the Springfield post office, returned to this city to give himself up to the au- thorities for the post office theft, and was arrested in his mothers home by Inspector Guilty yesterday. He was arraigned before United States Com missioner John L. Rice yesterday after noon.
 Soon after his arrival in the city Callahan saw Postmaster Hyde and made q full confession. He tells the story of his wanderings after leav- ing this city Sunday morning, June 2 as follows: From Windsor, where he opened some of the packages and let ters and left his bicycle, he took the electric cars to Hartford, and know ing that he would not be safe there, left for New York on the ITO o'clock train that night. He did not feel safe in New York, and went from there to Philadel- phia, Washington and to New Orleans. On June 14 he took q Leyland line steamship for Liverpool. In mid-ocean he wrote letter to Postmaster Hyde, saying that he would take the first steamer after his arrival in Liverpool for this country and would give himself up to authorities. He arrived in New York yesterday
 It appears that the young man was conscience-stricken almost immediate ly after leaving here. for, he says, he considered coming back after he reach ed Windsor, and had opened some of the packages. He says he was sorry then for having committed the deed, and would have returned back had he not been afraid of the consequences, knowing that after opening. some of the crime. In this letter to Mir Hyde he said that his mental suffering had been greater than any punishment he might receive here.
 The entire amount of money which Callahan secured from the packages and letters was in the vicinity of $10O and of this he had on his return about one-quarter This he turned over to the authorities and says he will pay back all he took as soon as he is given the opportunity.
 MT Hyde said that he believes the young man is thoroughly penitent and that he has already received severe punishment for what was in the first puace a thoughtless act. The extreme punishment for. the crime is ten years imprisonment ftrYs

WOMAN WHIPPED MAN.
He Stole Her Purse and She Inflicted
 Punishment With Cattle Whip.

-~---------N--~
 Chicago, July 13.-while a dozen men stood by i'll circle to prevent es- cape Mrs William McGill, 5226 Indiana street, yesterday applied cattle whip to the back and legs of the man who had stolen her purse.
 As the men cheered and the thief begged for mercy the woman, who is small and fragile in appearance, swung the whip with increased vigor, until the wretch who was taking the drubbing fell to the floor, pleading that the pun ishment might cease. Then, although the police had been summoned, the thief was allowed to go free.
 The man for whom the spirit of the whipping post was revived gave his name as T. A. Browne, 147 Peoria street. Browne was urgent in his de- nials that he had stolen Mrs McGills purse until the police were sent for, when he weakened and produced the pocketbook. Then, before the police had time to respond, the lash was applied and the mans punishment was kept outside of the law.
 The whipping took place in the real estate office of E. A. Cummings & Co, St Charles and Nineteenth streets, Haywood.
 Mrs McGill, accompanied by Mrs Nellie Henry. 6S6 Thirty-first street, boarded Madison street car at Nine teenth street in Melrose park at 4 o'clock. Mrs McGill laid her purse on a vacant seat behind her as she ar ranged her hat. When she turned to rnf hnY. 41- 4 She had noticed Browne on the car moment before and saw him leave it just previous to missing her purse
 Believing that the man had taken the pocketbook Mrs McGill and Mrs Henry left the car, accosting Browne where he had alighted from the car Mrs MeGill accused the man of talk ing the purse, but he protested his in- nocence. Mrs McGill appealed to w. A. Twining of Haywood, who is an agent for E. A. Cummings Twining took Browne into Cummings's office and began questioning him.
 By this time large crowd had gath cred. Browne. who was unable to tell a connected story, refused to be searched and said 1t was case of mis- taken identity. It was at this point that a messenger was sent for a DO. liceman. Then Browne took Mrs Me GilPs purse from his pocket and ad- mitted that he had taken it from the car.
 Some one shouted: "Horsewhip the fellow.'' Mrs McGill sprang forward and seized the long whip which had been produced and brought it down on Browne's back. The man jumped and cried for mercy, but this blow was fol- lowed by others more vigorous than the first. Mrs McGill piled her. lash over the mans body and legs until he fell to the floor.
 When she had finished her punish mant Mrs McGill allowed Browne to take his hat and coat, which had been pulled from alis back during the strug- gle. and told him to leave. The man quickly ran from the office and dis appeared.
 Mrs McGill said she considered the whipping she gave Browne sufficient punishment for the offense, and de clared she would not prosecute the man.
