ARKANSAS.
Negro Hung.

MEMPHIS, June PA special to the
AyaiancIe from Forest CiLv. ARKANSAS.
committed rape on an eleven year old
colored girl near Wheatley, in this
county, on the 18th of last September,
and who was convicted at the April
term Of the Circuit Court at this place,
was hanged here at % minutes past
o'clock to-day. The story OF the crime
is as follows: Taylor was employed by
the girls father on his farm, and being
left in charge of the children while the
family attended church, on the day
named above accomplished his purpose
on the child. He was sentenced to be
hung on the 18th of May, but was re-
prieved by the Governor until to-day.
Every effort was made by his former
master, who doubted his guilt, to obtain
communication To imprisonment for
life, but his efforts were unsuccessful.
Repeated interviews failed to elicit con-
fession. He ascendcd the scatlold with
a smile on his face, and delivered an adj
dress to the colored people protesting
his innocence, and calling on all to meet
him IN Heaven. Tears and loud groans
greeted his words. The cap was placed
over his face, and after song by the
negroes Sheriff Parham sprung the
trigger. His neck was not broken, and
death ensued from strangulation in four
teen minutes. The body was cut down
at minutes tO o'clock. Taylor had
been Baptist preacher.

FALL RIVER.
Progress of the Strike.

FALL RIVER, June 27.-The mills are
all running this morning. with the ex-
crption of the Narragansctt, which shut
down Yesterday. Some mills have
gained few spinners to-day and'Others
have lost, but, on the whole, there have
been gains OF ten pairs OF mules. There
is no intimidation by violence, but man
uiacturers say that threats are made,
and a number at work yesterday are out
to-day through fear. The men whoC came
here have been returned b. the spinners.
The depots are all watched and import
ed help solicited 10 return. \ commit
tee of spinners this morning waited
upon the Mayor, asking that the extra
police he withdrawn from the streets
and kept at the station, where they
could be easily called in case of dis
turbance. TIE Mayor said he should
try TO act as a disinterested party dur
ing the strike, but would preserve or
der, and the extra police were put on
to preserve order. The spinners would
not be interfered with if they preserved
order.

AQUATIC SPORTS.
The Nnle-Hnryard Race.

NEW IONDoS, CONN., June 27.-Thc
University boat race resulted in an easy
victory Tor Harvard. Owing TO the
rough water the start was not made till
7:25. Yale caught the water first and
at the end OF half dozen strokes gained
a slight advantage, both going ut 10
strokes, but Nale's lead was only tenn
porarv, rs soon the powerful strokes by
Harvard forged their boat ahead in a
line with Yale. At the hall mile lIar-
vard was a good length in the lead,
which Yale spurted manfully To
lessen, and did succeed in diminishing it
a few feet, but this effort seemed
To consume all the bottom there
was in their boat, so that from this
out il was merely question of how
great distance the Harvard would be
ahead 1T the end. vt the end OF the
first mile Harvard was six lengths ahead,
doing 36 to Nale's - strokes. Thence
tothe finish Harvard did not lower her
stroke to less than 81, pulling maniii-
centlp throughout, and rapidly opening
the water astern. Yale labOred fcariully,
and seemed to be entirely broken up,
so much so as To excite sympathy from
the crowd. There was little excitement
as the crews swept down to the finish.
The last half mile was as fine an eXhi-
bition Of rowing on the part OF Harvard
as was ever seen, their boat fairly jump
ing through the watA and carrying
them To the finish between one-quarter
and onr-haIi D ne ahcal. The official
time was - minutes and II seconds for
Harvard, and - minutes and jS seconds
for Vale.
