The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-10-15

AT this season of the year we annu-
ally have severe storms, which many
people designate as equlnoctlal, as
they occur at the equinox, or when the
sun is presumed to cross the equator.
Sometimes these storms occur one or
two weeks before September aa, some
times after that date.

At meeting of the mayor and
board of aldermen last night the only
business transacted was the issuing of
an order to re. open Hamper street

previous meeting on May this street
was ordered closed, but on petition of
cities of that locality, who claimed
that this was the only street in thai
section which formed an available out
let, the board took the matter under
consideration with the RESULT that il
was ordered re-opened.

The ATderney Breed.

"The Alderneys and Jerseys are so
closely related and so much alike in
appearance that the description given
for Jerseys will apply to them. They
can be classed as the same breed,
but bearing the name Of their island
home. The main difference is that
the Attorneys are smaller and more
delicate, and for this reason are not
So much in favor"
The above passage was printed in
book which 1 judge is in the hands
of many farmers throughout the coun-
try.
When Channel island cattle were
first imported to the United States,
and for a long time thereafter, both
Jersey and Guernsey, and especially
the former, were called by many peo-
ple Alderney cattle. The Island OF
Alderney is one of the Channel group.
and although the third in size is too
small to export any cattle. 1t prob
ably has. no cattle except few for
family use, and so far as records
show none were ever exported from
there. The name may have originated
from the fact that Alderney. having
q good harbor and being nearer Eng
land, all the vessels carrying cattle
or produce from Guernsey and Jersey
formerly cleared from the Alderney
port before leaving the islands for
England. This may have given the
impression to early English importers
that they were Alderney cattle, and
the name so came to this country.
The fact is that there is no such
thing as an Alderney breed Of cattle.

Electric Railway Speed.
III the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The regulation OF speed on electric rail-
ways In the countryside is engaging the at
tention Of the authorities in some OF the
states. The fatalities occurring on these
lines are due principally to grade crossings
and to the immoderate speed Of the cars in
descending hills. The rapidity with which
trolley cars may be run is subject to local
regulation. 1t Is not recalled that there are
any general acts touching the matter in
force anywhere, though caution in the mall
age ms mt of electric street car lines has been
urged upon the companies by the state au-
thorities to whom the reports of steam and
electric railroads are made. The superin-
tendeEt of the Pennsylvania bureau of rail-
ways has in one or more reports called at
tention to the reckless operation of street
railways In this state. and advised caution.
The loss of life chargeable to the electric
roads in 1902 in the United States is great.
relatively, to the casualties on the steam
roads. The deaths from steam railroad ac-
cidents during the year numbered S1G5. and
475 persons were killed and 2.144 seriously
injured in electric car accidents.

LONG TERM IN JAIL.
Colored Man Sentenced One Year for
Brutality Whipping His Son.


Ogdolonia Ghassaway. colored. who was
convicted by jury in the Police Court
Friday of last week on a charge Of as
saulting Darrell. his twelve-year-old son,
was sentenced by Judge Kimball this after
noon to term Of 1894 days in the District
jail, without fine. In passing sentence.
which was the maximum provided for by
law, Judge Kimball remarked that the evil
dence against the defendant showed that
the assault was most brutal one.
When the case was tried last week Ghas-
saway's son appeared in court with nu-
merous scars on his body between his
neck and waist, which he said were in
hicted by his father. who whipped him with
a riding whip the night OF the 9Th instant,
because he had told him an untruth. The
defendant admitted whipping the boy. and
claimed that the latter had used profanity
toward him.
Prosecuting Attorney Ralph Given an
nounced his intention of filing petition in
the juvenile court this afternoon for the
purpose of turning Darrell over to the
board Of children's guardians permanently,
and asked that the fathers removal to
jail be deferred until later in the day.
Judge Kimball directed that Ghassaway be
permitted to remain in the court building
until this afternoon

PERHAPS THE FIRST LYNcH1Na.
A Story That May Account for ORIGIN
Of a Very Irregular Verb.
From the Charlotte Observer.

from the Charlotte Observer.
Readers may. perhaps. remember the

John H. Drake Of Nash county saved her
| family from the ferocious attack Of the
tory Major Beard by the judicious use Of a
jug OF old Nash brandy. They will recall
| that Major Beard was severely wounded.
captured and finally hanged in Franklin
county.
According to Wheeler this incident re-
suited IN the introduction into our language
OF the word now in tho vocabulary Of ev-
cry man-no other than TIC word lynch"
or the expression. lynch law" If we may
accept Wheeler's authority on this point
the word owes its origin to the following
circumstances:
After Boards capture he was taken to
| the camp of Colonel seawell on the banks
OF Lynch creek, in Franklin county A
drumhead court-martial was at once or.
ganized and Beard brought before It, Az
they proceeded to trial someone brought
In the report that large band Of tories
were on their way to rescue Beard. The
court was thrown into a panic, and after
q hasty computation decided to swing
Beard without trial. This was accordingly

and the members Of the court-martiaI re-
covered their presence Of mind. With this
restored calmness came the suggestion

which the body was hung stood on the
bank Of Lynch creek. and it soon became

about. when person was accused Of crime.
that he ought to be taken to Lynch
creek" Hence the term lynch law"
For the sake of accuracy we may note
here that Webster's Unabridged Dictionary
says this In regard to the origin of the
term: ''The term 1ynchzlaw'I is said to be
derived from Virginian named Lynch,
who took the law into his own hands, But
this is very doubtful" ICsS -
Wheeler says that the incident was re-
lated to him by Mr. B. F. Moore, who had
the story from the Drake family. It II
by no means Improbable.
