Negro is Whipped.

HagerStown, Md, Dec. 1. For
the first time in this county in eight
years the whipping post was used
last evening, when jim Wilson, col
ored, was dashed by Sheriff George
w. Earnshaw for wife beating.
Wilson was convicted before
Police Justice Hoffman, who sent
enced him to receive ten lashes and
to serve six months in the house of
correction. Wilson was sullen and
refused to appeal for mercy, al
though he squirmed as each blow
of the whip fell upon his bare back.
The whipping took place in the
upper corridor of the Jail.

You would naturally think"
said hackdriver yesterday, that
the relatives of the deceased would
be exceedingly sad at funerals. In
a majority of cases they are, but in
in some they're not. Now and then
the members of the bereaved fami-

and from the cemetery. Just last
week | hauled such family. A
man had died. In my hack were
his sbrother and sister-in-law and
their three little boys. Whenever
the funeral procession stopped l
couldEhear their conversation.
This is a fine rubber-tired hack,
amt it, Tom?' asked the woman.
That's what it 10, replied the
brother of the deceased.

There was silence for minute
or two. Then the woman said, Tn

So am /, was his reply.

Heard a prominent citizen of

day: How foolish we all act in
falling out with our neishbors and

Putney and the other On Manchester
street. The dress in question had been
made at Putney. but II 1t had been
made at the Manchester street estab'
lishment she would have charged about

Putney is socially irreproachable, it
Is not quite equal to Manchester street

than of quality. and for this side light
