WHIPPED AT W0RKH0UsE

At the New Castle County Workhoust
Saturday Chief Warden Meserve dealt
out Delaware justice to a number o
criminals with heavy hand. The SEN
tences were heavy as 20, 80 and 40 lashes
were laid on the bare backs of three men.
Elmer Fisher. colored, stole 5000 some.
time ago and he danced with pain while
ten lashes fell on his back.
John Withcol took $l.5O which be.
longed to fellow lodger and his back
showed that the blows were heavy for
the time the tenth lash fell great welts
stood out on his back.
William Burnell, colored, robbed re-
sidence at Granogue and as consequence
will have two years in which to nurse
his sore back after receiving twenty
lashes.
Charles Dolly, colored, received 40
lashed well laid on for robbing Mrs. Re-
becca Ford of her pocket book. He
squirmed beneath the lash and cried for
mercy as Warden Meserve piled the lash.
"Have mercy, have mercy on an inno-
cent man." cried Thomas Perry, colored,
as the lash fell heavily on his bare back.
Thirty lashes constituted his share, with
an hour in the pillory and six years be-
hind the bars. Perry was convicted of
assau1ting with intent to commit a fe1o-
nious assault on white woman at STAN
ton on Sunday night, March 10th. Perry
denied the accusation and although the
woman said the day following the attack
that she could not say whether it was
white man or a colored man who had as
saulted her, she positively identified
Perry in the dock as the man who dealt
90 brutally with her.
Sayino du Guglielmo spent an hour in
the pillory before retiring for three years
in the workhouse. He is the Italian who
stabbed his wife nine times in an attempt
to kill her. He was alleged to have
made frequent threats that he would |
murder her.

THE PASSING OF MAY

There fell sudden hush from hill to hill
A whisper and sorrow touched thu

And all earth's million-thr 'ated song
grew still
As passing May swept down her golden
stair.
A shower OF rain left lawn and roses
wet,
And over us spring bent a sadder brow,
And youth, that day, took on its first re-
gret,
And all the world grew old, we knew
not how.
Then one bird thought the twilight futed

One gust of petals sh, W :r'd on path

And where her wealth of bl' oms used
to blow
Lies empty garden whispered: Youth

The truth OF widely circulated story
Ito the effect that Senator Spooner had
purchased "the great Blanchard estate in
Northern New Hampshire and was about
to established game preserve there"
your correspondent learned from Senator
Spooner himself to-day. The Senator
has actually bought an abandoned New
Hampshire farm of slightly less than
600 acres, in high and beautiful spot,
where he hopes to find seclusion and
rest during the hotter portion OF the
summer. He will not fence the place
nor farm it, but with his family, will oc-
cupy the substantial farm house which
is already built during his vacations.
The Senator says that he is being deluged
with the circulars and letters Of fence
companies, foresters, game keepers and
others who desire trade or employment.
There is a suggestion in the Senator's
manner, when he tells the facts, that he
would like to meet the newspaperman
| who sent out the gro5sly exaggerated re-
port.
