Several locations are suggested, and How the Whipping Post Works in Dela ware. “Our wliipp,jijr post doesn't seem to take very we 1 with your people up here,” said Gorernor Biggs of De laware shortly after he had made his great “short ’talk" a* the Tammany Centennial I told Ytiaf that there did seem to be something of a feeling in there seems to he a friendly rivalry be_ j ^ ew York a 8 :iin&t the whipping post Sunday a man by the name of IValton w.-i' arrested while at church and taken to JSniledge for safe keeping. He is charged with the Shooting of S. 3?. Horton. He claims that he is innocent, hut he was seen with a gun early Sat urday morning near where Mr. Horton was shot, ami evidence points very strong towards him. Ho denies doing the shooting and says he can prove that he is innocent.

It is a recognized fact that wherever this hotel is located, it will greatly enhance the valua of every lot in that .section of the city. There is not a better location in Ath ens than the Commercial Hotel, and it seems to us that this site would he an acceptable compromise , between the rival streets, as it is equally convenient to both. We would suggest that the committee see Air. It. L. Moss, owner of the property, and.try and negotiate a trade with him. By the expenditure of |35,000, a leading architect,says, that the Commercial could he made into a magnificent and modern building, just such a hotel as Athens needs.

It is said that the Duchess of Port land never removed the famous pearl necklace originally belonging to Mary of Orange, from her neck since the day it was given her by the duke. Police Judge—Did you see the beginning of this trouble? Witness,—Yes, sin I saw the very commencement. It was about two years ago. Police Judge—Two years age? Wit-ess—Yes, sir. The minister and other methods of sixteenth cen tury punishment. “VY el,” continued the- old gentle man, “we are old fashioned people down in Delaware} and I presume we are away behind the times in a good many thing-*, and rather set in our ways,and that method of dealing with certain classes of criminals i»one of our ways. Now I am not an apologist for the whippi’-g post,because I don't believe • that Delaware needs- any apologies to be- made for her people or her acts^md if I did they Swouldn t come'with very good grace from her Executive; but I can tell you ^ome facts. There is not in the State of De laware to-dav a single penitentiary. If a man beats h s wife, or sets lire to-a neighbor's bam, or breaks into a house, he isn’t shut up with a lot of other criminals,with full time and op portunity to learn all i heir tricks of deviltry that ho did not know before. As a preventive of crime the whipping post has a much greater terror than a term in a penitentiary, ai d I have- never k ■ own of a man that came back for the- seeond dose. He simply leaves the State. Maybe he comes to New York; I don’t know. At any rate he seeks another home, and you may rest assured that if be stays in De laware he lives a very quiet life.
