We Saythe Whipping Post.
With all deferencefito the opinion of
those who take a contrary view, we re-
spectfully adhere to the opinion, here-
tofore expressed in these columns, that
the whipping post is the best—nay, the
only—punishment for certain malefac-
tions. It is all very fine to talk about
barbarism and relics of the dark ages,
but we must not forget that wife-beat~
ing, cruelty’to children, and other low
forms of rufiianism are also barbarous
relics of the dark ages. If our civiliza-
tion has not eradicated these savage in-
stincts, why should our laws ignore the
only remedy for their unrestrained ex-
pression. 3
Elegant and well meaning
may sit in their luxurious libraries and
moralize beautifully on the afi‘airs of
life. Nothing is easier than to say
that we must rule by kindness and in-
terpose as against the brutal and de-
graded hoodlum the refining Spectacle
of an enlightened a ’truism That
sounds well. It look 5 pretty on paper
and Would work up into beauti ul little
mottoes for iliuminatel cards like
“God Bless Our Home,” &c. But does
any rational and observant person
really think that the monster capable
of maimiug his helpless wife and hide-
ously beating his children is the kind
of a person to be held in check by kind-
ness and indulgence? ,What does a
drunken wife-beater care for thirty
Ninety-nine times out Of
persons
days in jail?
11 hundred he is a worthless loafer, 'to
whom a term in prison means only free
lunch and a chance to sober 11;). Nine-
ty—nine times in a hundred the brute
returns to liberty only encouraged to a
renewal of the brutality that tempor-
arily interrupted it. ‘ Such creatures as
this can be Controlled only by agencies
that they understand, restrained only
by punishments that they fear. They
understand and fear nothing but pain.
The lash is on a level with their intelli-
gence. Physical agony is an argument
which they can grasp.
For our part, we should like to see
the whipping post established in Can-
necticit upon a vigorous and perma-
nent basis. W'e should like to know
that every brat-11 rufiian who beatsa
woman or maltreats a child or tortures
a dumb brute would suffer for his in-
famy in kind. As 'S’C see the matter,
it only adds Etc our indignation when
we hear of these revolting savageries,
t) know that the monster who commits
them will be consigned to a prison,
which in his philosophy means luxury,
and that in due time he will be set free,
improved in health and strength, and
ready for new and still more hideous,
offenses against humanity. We want
suchfiends lashed. We want them to
suffer the torture they have inflicted
upon others. In a word, we propose to
take life as we find it, and to postpone
the millenium programme until the
millenium itself appears.
A Gloomy View.
It seems to be taking time by all the
forclocks he can carry to begin to dis-
cuss what sort of yacht we must build
to recover the America’s Cup when the
Valkyre III. shall have taken it away;
but that is the form in which the case
is presented by one man who certainly
ought to know a good deal aboutships.
This man is Mr. Lewis Nixon, a naval
cbnstructor, who has built some lim-
portint ships. He takes a gloomy
view of our chances to hold the cup,
and is inclined to look upon the De-
fender us necessarily ioredoomed lo
defeat.
Let us hope that Mr. Nixon is not so
good a Judge as he ought to be. His
speculations are based upon a compari-
son of the actual performances of the
several yachts, as thus: Britannia beat
the Vigilant all the time, as one might
say and then Valkyrie III. boat Britan-
nia out of sight. This is all true, and
it is certain not only that Valkyrie is
better than Vigilant, but. better than a
bout that was better than the Vigilant.
1-
T hat was‘on the other side cf the sea-
On this side, asa comparison, Defend--
er is evidently better than the Vigilant,
but as the Yankee farmer said, she is
not “such a darned sight better-”
Defender isbeter than Vigilant just-
about as Britannia was better than Vig
ilant, but then Valkyrie III. was better
than Britannia, ergo Valkyrie III. will
be better than Defender. The fallacy
in Mr. Nixon’s reaSoning is pretty
clear. There are two Vigilante. The
Vigilant, which, though beaten by De-
fender, makes a good show in the race.
is not the same Vigilant that was beaten
by Britannia. On the contrary. it is
very certain that in consequence of the
changes made in Vigilant she is a very
much swifter ship than she was.
Mrs.Barnum Weds.
Mrs. Phineas T. Barnum, the widow
of the veteran showman, was quietly
married yesterday afternoon in New
York to Demetrius Callias Bey, a
wealthy Greek.
Midnight Row.
There was quite a lively scrimmage
on Main street, about 12 o’clock last
night. A young man named Fiizmaur-
ice and a friend were sitting in the
doorway of one of the stores talking,
when Pat Slaitery cune along. After
some words had been exchanged be-
tween thc trio it is alleged Slattery let
go with his ri-. hi. and struck one of the
other men. There was a clinch and a
fall with Slaltery on the under side.
The man who he had struck was en-
gaged in giving him a good thumping
when Officers Rooney and Bartram
came up and the men were separated.
People living near by were much dis-
turbed by the racket made by the men.

Lightning at Greens Farms,
The thunderstorm of yesterday morn-
ing created quite a little excitement at
Greens Farms. Near the end of the
storm a lightning bolt hit the chimney
of E. P. Smith’s house. It knocked
the chimney to pieces and scattered the
bricks into the servant’s room. Here
it smashed the furniture, knocked the
ceiling and mouldings 1nto smithereens,
broke all the china and passed through
the floor of the room into another bed-
room. Here it repeated the damage
done on the floor above. Not satisfied
with the destruction already wrought
the bolt continued on its downward
course, smashing the plaster on the coil-
ings and breaking through floors until
it reached the cellar. Mr. Smith’s
theitime. He was knocked senseless
for a little while, but soon recovered.
His escape from death was a narrow
one as the bolt passed out of the house
not 15 feet from where he stood.
Vicar General Dead.
Rev. James Hughes, vicar general of
the RomanzCatholic diocese of Hart-
ford, died at 8:30 o’clock last night at
the parochial residence of St. Patrick’s
church. Father Hughes was attacked
with homorrhages of the stomach which
continued all day, and succumbed to
weakness last night. .
Father Hughes was born in County
Longford, Ireland, in October, ”1830.
His parents were well to do and at an
early age he was sent to a preparatory
school. He came to the United States
when he was 15 years old and took a
preparatory course at St. John’s col-
lege, Fordham, N. Y., which institu-
tion afterward conferred upon him the
degree of LL. D. The remainder of
his education was received at St. Sul-
tizer’s college, Paris. He was ordain-
ed a priest, July 4, 1862, and was given
a parish at Providence, It. I., as his
first charge.- ' In 1854 he was transferred
to St. Patrick’s parish, Hartford, and
remained pastor until his death.
He was made vicar-general when he
was 20 years old and retained the office
while he lived.
Father Hughes was almost idolized
by his congregation and was respected
by the citizens of Hartford, irrespect-
of religious belief. He went to Eu-
rope several times and on returning
each time received a public ovation.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made.
Colic Promptly Cured.
CHATHAM, Mass, March 15, 1894.——

Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea. Remedy and within ten minutes
all of my colic pains had disappeared
I am highly pleased with the remedy
and take pleasure ‘in recommending it.

to South Norwalk this noon, and when
Opposite the Matthew’s residence, a
team of horses hitched to a long farm
wagon and driven by Rufus Buttery of

track in front of the ear. Motorman
Smith put or. the leverse as quickly as
he could, but the car struck the hind

ian, who was riding on the vehicle,
upon his back in the street. The car
was stopped and’it Was found that the
onlyinjury done was to the car brake.
No blame whatever can be attached
t) the motorman as Mr. Buttery turn-
ed his team directly across the track
not over twenty feet in front of the
car, and it was utterly impossible to
prevent a collision.

Receivers Appointed.
Judge William K. Townsend, in the
United States circuit court for the dis—
trict of Connecticut, yesterday issued
an order appointing William H. Curtis
of Norwalk and James H. Cotter of
Boston receivers of the Lockwood Man~
ufacturing Company of South Norwalk.
The receivers are required to file a bond
of $50,000 with1n fifteen days.
The petition for the appointment of a
receiver was brought by Wilson P. Foss
of Haverstraw N. Y. who owns sixty-
seven shares of stock of the par value
of $6,700, in accordance with a vote of
the board of directors on Tuesday.
The company does a general foundry
business and has a capital of $200,000.
The liabilities are about $280,000 and
the assets consiSts of property, plant,
etc, at South Norwalk, Valued at $175,-
OJO, and money on deposit in Boston,
Worcester, New York, and South Nor-
walk banks. . The latter is, however,
largely held on security for notes dis-
counted. H. S. Lockwood is president
of the company and John E. Light of
South Norwalk is the attorney for Mr.
Foss.
The company’s product has been sold
by Woodrough & Hanchett of Chicago,
0. F. Guion Company, limited, of New
York, and Woodbrough, Mansfield &
Co. of Boston. The Chicago concern
recently failed and made an assignment,
owing the Lockwood Manufacturing
Company $585,000, principally in notes
given for merchandise, and this caused
the petition for the appointment of a
receiver.

Assaulted a Woman
For some time part complaint has
been made that a worthless character
called “Lean Sherwood had been al-
lowed to be at large in East Norwalk.
He is now under arrest and locked up
in the station-house. Last evening,
Mrs. Emily Walters was engaged in
picking up coal on the railroad tracks
near Fitch-street, when Sherwood came
along and made an insulting remark
and then struck her. He was arrested
by Constable Hunt.“ This morning he
was taken before Judge Hubbcll who
continued the hearing in the case until

nipauk, some weeks since, after which
he skipped out of tow n.
This morning, he was taken before
Judge Hubbell. Several witnesses
were examined and Louden appeared
in his own defense, claiming that the
aggressor was Josephs. His story was
in almost direct contradiction to that of
the other witnesses
The judge found him guilty of intoxi-
cation, on. which count he was fined 35;
he also fined him 83 for breach of the
peace; and sentenced him to three
months in jail, 'with costs, on the
charge of assault.
Louden is a young man about 30
years of age and has a bad reputation.
His mother was present when he was
sentenced, and he asked her to come to
his rescue, but she firmly refused, say-
ing that he had sinned and must take
the consequences as she could not help
him.

' JOHN SMITH ARRESTED.
A Man \Vith That Unusual Name Believed
to Be 8. “P31” of Brockway.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—John Smith, a
criminal well known to the police, was
arrested by the police of the Fifth Street,
station, and it is thought that he has some
connection with the gang of counterfeiters
recently gathered in by the United States
secret service officials.
It was a few minutes after 10 o’clock
When Roundsman Sweeney saw a man on
the Bowery near First street who Was
very much intoxicated and raising a dis-
turbance. The rcundsman told him that
he would have to move on, when the man
attacked the policeman, kicked him sev-
eral times and had to be thrown down to
the pavement before he could be con-
trolled.
Wh'en the roundsman, with the assist-
ance of the policeman on post, got the man
to the station house, he was identified as
John Smith, a criminal well known to the
police. The man has the record of being
a passer of counterfeit money. He is also
a police fighter and has twice served time
for assaults on policemen. He said that
he had lately been living at 85 Willow av-
enuo, Hobokcn.
When he was searched, there was a
counterfeit $100 bill found in onset? his
pockets. It was similar to the money re—
cently seized by the secret service men, be-
ing printed only on one side of the paper.
Smith refused to say how he had become
possessed of the counterfeit and was lock-
ed up.
The man was only released from Sing
Sing prison two weeks ago, after complet-
ing a year’s time for an assault on Patrol-
man Adamson of the Oak Street station.
Before that he served two years’ time for
having assaulted ‘a. patrolman of the Old
Slip station. He also served two years for
an assault committed on John J. Smith,
the cashier of the Manhattan bank.
The police will call the attention of the
secret service officials to the man.
