Kroni tho Wilmington Commercialoflast
night, wo clip the following account of the
wbipplngstn Now Castle on Saturday. It i#
rather ftdler than the telegraphic special
■which hiqiOared in the Beni, exin : •». - .
Five men,»H colored, were whipped,.ana
one placed in the pillory, at New Castle, on
Saturday. Edward Smith, a young colored
roan, convicted oh a charge of having criminal
intercourse with a child, was placed f VAa
puiory trom 10 toll o’clock A. M. AboutlOO
littlo boys ahd girls,from four years of age and
upwards, and about ttftoeh adult persons, wjt
ncssed this exhibition. At 2 o cluck P. M„the
gates Of the prison-* ard wore thrown open,
and the Court having at this hour takeni a re
cess, a large crowd ot persons, m addition to
thw children before mentioned, gathered to
witness the lashing of the prisoners. .
Andrew Chambers was the first P™°"° r
brought out and firmly secured ■ to the post.
• He bad been convicted ol the larceny of some
*«nonev from E. P. Hill, nnd, in addition to
Mother punishments, was to receive twenty
lashes! -As tlio Sheriff stepped forward to ex
ecute the sentence noticed _ that he had
been provided with a now cat- o-nme-taus,
which corresponded with the new pillory and
' nost which had hut recently been erected;
She Sheriff, after having measured off thedis
tance and laid the “ tails” across the hack of
' riveprisoner, as if to give him warning whore
mlelit exnect-tho blow, proceeded to ex
ecute fhe sentence of the Court BothShor.ft
and prisoner stood squarely up to the work,
each apparently alike exhausted. The appro
priate purple “welts” wore raised at almost
every toll? The new whipping-post and new
“cat*’ had their first victim, but were uotbap-
Jackson was the next prisoner, and
was to .receive twenty lashes, tor the larceny
<if a lot of races from Jessup <S c Moore. The
Sheriff, oither not being satisfied willi his first
effort with the new implements, or the dark,
- swarthy skin of the prisoner was not so thick
ns his fellow, we do not know which, but at
the end of the infliction of the punishment we
noticed oozthg through a quickly-raised
a. «welt” a single drop of Dlood, which trickled
► down over the person of the prisoner Blood
M has now been drawn at the Khnneoithe new
post, and it is now fully dedicated to the
1 administration of barbaric laws. ■
¥ James Gordon was the next victim, and re
ceived his twenty lashes very stoically, with
, out blood being drawn. After the punishment
was over ho drew his blanket over his striped
■ shoulders, and kicking up .his heels, f£® the
disappeared from tho public gaze witlnn the
£ P Joseph Derry was next brought out, and
1 received his allowance of twenty lashes, at tlio
end of which an abrasure of the slan was no
ticed, through which the blood was slowly
°°Tli<riast was Edward Smith, who had been
pilloried in the morning. He was to receive
.SO Lashes for his crime. Ho had a wild, hag
gard look, knowing that a severe punishment
was in store for him; and. although a very
large propertion of the present
were averse to this mode of punishment, no
svmpathy for the prisoner could be seen even
bv teok or gesture The Sheriff nerved him
self for the task that was before lnm, and
balanced well his weapon so as to make the
blow effective. The victim writhed under
the punishment, and appealed with pitying
looks and "broken sentences to the Sheriff for
' mercy, which were apparently answered with
'lows of greatly increased force ; several per
' % oils in the crowd clapped their hands,.and.as
• ,-idce after ridge was raised on the mans
back cries of.“give it to the -were heard.
The iiO lashes were given, and strange to say
that notwithstanding the force applied,owing
to the thickness of the prisoners skin, very
little blood was drawn.
There beingno other victims for the post,the
V crowd dispersed and the gates of the prison
closed.

l'ifteen or Twenty Persons Injured.
I From the Omaha (JSeb.merald of Nov. 18.] 1
Tlie eastern-hound tram which lott Omaha
at five o’clock P.M. on Tuesday evening ran
oil the track near Mongolia Station, causing
more or less injury to titteen or twenty per
sons, and a terrible wreck ot the train. The
latter was running, behind time, and at an un
uaualrate of speetl, on a heavy down grauc,
and consisted of one ladies’ coach and two of
Pullman’s palaee cars, the “lowa and
“Union.” As the train was rounding a sharp
curve the iron gave way under the pressure
and the train was thrown off, precipitating one
palace car and coach down an embankment
twenty feet high, and the whole train oft. The
accident oecurred about midnight. Our in
formants, Messrs. Smith, Allen and Perkins,
Of Sioux City, who came along soon after on
the train bound west, from Chicago, say that
while there wore from twenty to twentymye
persons mere or less injured, no one was killed
outright. A brakeman ib known to be very
badlVl perhaps latall.v hurt, and an elderly
gentleman, Sir. Miller, of the neighboring
countv of Sarpy, v»as taken to the Mongona
oatiuK-liousc, where all were cared for, so
badly injured as to be wholly insensible. The
wreck is described as being a terriblo one.
Terrible Accident at the Morris nud
Essex Railroad Depot.
The Kew York Tribune of to-day says:
The Morris and Essex Kailroad depot, at
Hoboken, was, Ijist evening, the scene of as.
serious an accident as has ever happened
there, resulting in the death of one man, and
in the serious, if not fatal,injury of two others.
At about six o’clock Two gangs of men were
engaged in shifting the positions of a number
of freight cars, when tliose being . shifted by
one gang unexpectedly collided with those
being moved by the second gang. I our of the
latter gang, who stood between the moving
eare, were caught between the
bumpers ami three of them tyr
rililv crushed. The fourth was but
slightly scratched. Soon after the accident
happened a wagon was procured and the suf
ferers w'ere conveyed’to St. Mary’s Hospital,
near' Fourth street. One of these, named
Thomas Eobinson, had scarcely reached the
door of tho institution when lie died. The
survivors were placed in the hospital and at
tended by Drs. Kehson and Chabert. Though
everything is being done to save their lives,
their recovery is thought very doubtful. One
of them was 'in a condition so critical that it
was thought he could n»t survive through the
jiiglit. Several of his ribs wore broken, and
his left lung and heart were seriously injured.
The deceased was a resident of Hudson City,
and leaves a wife and live children. Coroner
Crane will hold an inquest to-day.

How a Sensation was Spoiled.
Tlie 'Washington star of last, evening has the
following observations upon a sensation story,
to which allusion was made in our telegraphic
columns of ycfcterday: , ' ’
"'ln Washington correspondence and also in
some of our 'eoteinporarios a story has been
published to the effect that a young. lady in
September last committed suicide after having
been seduced, and that her betrayer—a person
“in high posasion ” —after .lief death went to
the house where she died, and by a large
bribe succeeded in keeping the affair secret,
and employed an undertaker who placed the
remains in the coffin and shipped them
hv railroad to her former home In the
West. This story occasioned, when pub
lished, much surprise that such a case could
have occurred and have been successfully
hushed up, or that indeed a corpse could he
removed from the locality pointed to without
exciting suspicion and inquiry. The state
ment in one paper intimated that the Coroner
was cognizant of the facts, but had also been
bribed, a statement which none who know
him would believe for an instant, yet, never
theless, one calculated to do injustice to him;
with those whom he is not so well known.
It is but justice to that officer to say that had
he received any intimation of a case of that
or any other kind, requiring his attention, an
investigation—and a thorough one—wonld
have followed. However, when this story
was published, he immediately set to work
to ascertain the truth or falsity of
the statement, and, consulting, with
- Major ItichiVidS, they determined to work up
the case, and accordingly Major K. and some
. 0 f tits officers set about it. The officers and
Coroner, we learn, have satisfied themselves
•- |i, a t there is no truth whatever in the story ;
i Cmf about the time named (the day of General
r Hiawliu’s funeral, September !>th,) no corpse
; was taken on any of the railroad traiiis leav
’ ■ Mfclng this city,' nor, indeed, during the mouth
without the oxhlblttou of a corttflcato froth a
physician; that those which were shipped
wtro Of persons well-known, whose j do,»ths
wine tecularly certlflert to.and that, in
fart the whole story is without foundation.
In investigating the matter they; hud reason
to that the story wrts put afloat with
tlu> nhiert ot'dstunfiing the character of thehead.

rite its -individuality, or separate it from
the many memorial figures which have been
prepared with a similar design. But Jt is,
nevertheless, different from them all. The

word of command with docilitj, or to nasn

tvno sturdy yet refined, the American trait
ol goodncsH carried off with sang-froid, and
all the classic charm which goes with
the 'idea of the scholar-soldior, these are
what we have found in studying the expres

The Times as They Ake.—Notwithstan
ins the usual cry of “hard times,” the peo
plo of our city nover appeared happier or
more prosperous. This peculiarity, if it can
ho called Biich, is exemphtied on our public
promenades, on overy clear and pleasant day.
Take Chestnut street for instance. Here you
see thousands of ladies, children, gentlemen,
■without distinction of race or color, and ot all
ages, from the young Miss just springing into
the summer of her existence to the aged
matron ■whose brow is wreathed with tnc
frosts of at least threescore winters. All are
dressed in fashionable array, if there is such a
thing as fashion,for it appears to be as diversi
fied as the colors, patterns and desigas for
dress. But the moving trains of'humanity,
nevertheless, appear happy and contented,
notwithstanding the cry ot hard times.
To the superficial observers ot men and
things in general, such street scenes
scarcely, if ever, awaken even a passing
thought, and it is just such persons who cry
“har& times,” “ hard times.” Isovv lot us see
how hard the times aro. In one hour, on a
genial afternoon, there passed along in tront
of the Bulletin building the following num
ber of people: Ladies, 4,(120; gentlemen,
2,340: hoys and girls, 000; making a grand
total of 7,850 human hoiugs, or about two in
each second. Most of the ladies wore loves
of bonnets” at the rate of $2O each, say *l5 as
the average price. Dresses and shawls and
other things to match, say $lOO, low estimate
these liaTd times. Gaiters, 85 per pair. The
asirrccato amount for each lauv is, at these
figures, $l2O each. The whole amount, worth
or cost for all the ladies, is $554,400. The cost
for adorning the persons .of gentlemen would
ho say $5(l each. This is a low estimate. There
fore, the cost of the hats, boots and clothing
for the number of gentlemen as named would
amount to $117,000. The boys and girls at $2«
each would amount to $22,250; making a grand
total of $003,050. , ~
This does not look like very hard times.
The reader desiring to pursue this subject can
estimate how many persons were employed in
making so much dress, as worn by the crowd
that passed by the Bulletin office in a single
hour, to and, fro. How much happiness was
there in the neat and cleanly homes of the
seamstresses and others who had the work to
do V This subject affords a 11 ne field tor an
essay, but we think we have elucidated enough
to show that, notwithstanding the stale cry ot
hard times, the times in reality are not so
hard after all.
* CMIUKCH HxTkSsTOirSOCIETY OF THE M.

Lighting Gas by Elkotrioity.-Tlio
operation of lighting gas by. electricity was
Shown this morning by Mr. E. E, Bean, the
inventor and patentee of J&o procegs* at tn©
store of Messrs. Miskey, Merrill & Thackani,
No 718 Chestnut street. This plan is novel,
and in the lighting of street lamps and the gas
in largo buildings is calculated to make a
great saving of gas, and thereby
expense. A small box beneath
the burner contains the electrical apparatus,
and in tho ease of street lamps the posts are
connected by means of wires, Which are
placed in woodwork, sunk just beneath the
surface of the ground. By this means, it is
estimated that aU of the street lamps m Phila
delphia can ho lighted or extinguished m
about seven- minutes, and the experiment
made this morning, necessarily ou_a small
scale, fully confirmed this estimate. The plan
is to divide large cities into circuits, each
comprising about two hundred lamps. lor
each circuit a battery is required,, but all can
be worked simultaneously, like the operation
of our fire-alarm telegraph. By the electrical
lighting tho services of the lamp-lighters
will he dispensed with, and the gas
consumed in the two hours re
quired in lighting and extinguishing
the lamps will be saved. Of course this will
make a great reduction in tho expense oir
lighting. The breakage of glass in tho ©poll
ing and shutting of doors will also be avoided.
Tbo electrical boxes will cost about $5 for eaoli
lamp-post, and the laying of the wirtM will not
he expensive ; and tho total cost of the appa
ratus will almost be covered by the fifst years
savings. _ • . ! '
Wood and Leather Paper.— Messrs. Jas.
0. Finn & Son, southeast corner ot Tenth and
Walnut streets,have something new and novel
in the wall-papering line. It is called natu
ral wood paper,” and is made by taking tue
impression of the wood. When put upon
walls and varnished of oiled,the paper cannot
be distinguished from the real wood. Wal
nut, oak, mahogany, maple and ash are repre
sented among the stock on hand. The natural
wood paper is entirely different from wood
haugingg, and is less expensive and more dur- ■
able The same firm has on exhibition speci
mens of fresh leather paper; imported trorn
Paris. This paper is intended for panels
for dining-rooms and libraries, and will
greativ beautify the rooms upon which it is
used ‘ The designs are handsome and the imi
tation of the leather used upon furniture is
perfect. In Paris this new style of leather
K t hanging is all the rage now, and it must
me popular here m fine mansions, al
though none has, as yet, been introduced into
.this city- Some has already been sent to
’Baltimore. The elegance of an apartment
papered iu this style is well illustrated by the
appearance of the window of the store ot
Messrs Finn & Soil.
