yon to the river, mostly burro- back,
but few on foot, distance of 8 miles
and depth of over 5000 feet. Some
who attempted the descent found
themselves weakening and returned; (;
a few others continued to the bottom
and became exhausted and had to be

snow in blizzard, stinging our faces
and binding our eyes. The sections
of the various tour excursions did not
get in till or 5 o'clock in the after

We scarcely realized that it was Sun

evening there were a dozen trains
standing on temporary tracks with no
water short of GA miles distant at Will
liams and water train on the track
about half way between the two places
wrecked. We were in bad fix, short
of drinking water, sugar and some
other things needful, and filth ac-
cummmlating all about the standing
trains. This condition of things was
not chargeable to the Pennsylvania
management nor the Santa Fe. They

The whipping post is a necessary in
stitution in Delaware, but when the
wives of victims calmly view the lash
ing of their husbands, as was the case
at Dover on Saturday, it loses much
of the effect intended. Sheriff Melvin,
of Kent county, probably could not
deny the request of the spouses. to be
present, but he should have prevailed
upon them to remain away. The
whipping of culprits is not whole
some sight at the best and it should be
conducted with as few sensational
features as possible. - Wilmington
