GALLONS DEATH.

On next Friday Clement L. Gallon will
be executed at Cambridge, for the murder
of Mrs. Dilley The prisoner appears to
be Indifferent to his fate He denies the
commission of the deed for which he is to
be hung. He amuses himself as far as
possible, and still occupies considerable
portion of his time in playing cards, of
which he has ever been very fond. He
still refuses to converse with the ministers,
claiming that his future fate is not of suf
ficient Importance to trouble himself about
the few days that still remain to him.
He says nothing about a reprieve from
the Governor, and evidently does not ex
pect such gubernatorial interference.
The sheriff is still flooded with cores
pondence asking permission to witness the
ing the hanging. In view of this fact that
official has promulgated the following
which are the provisions of the law on the
subject as found in the Revised Statutes:
So. Whenever any person shah be condemned to
person shall have been convicted in any court in
this state, such punishment shall be inflicted within
the walls of the prison of the county in which such
conviction shall have taken place, or within yard
or enclosure adjoining such prison
IS. 1t shall be the duty of the sheriff, the dep
uty sheriff OF the county, TO be present at such
cution and, by at least three days previous notice.
to invite the presence of the judges prosecuting at
torney, and clerks of the courts of said county,
gether with two physicians and twelve reputable
citizens to be selected by said sheriff his depu-
ty. And the said sheriff deputy shall. at the
quest OF the criminal permit such ministers of the
gospel not exceeding three. said criminal shall
name, and any of the immediate relatives Of the
criminal, to be present at said execution, and also
such officers of the prison. deputies and constables
as shall by him be deemed expedient to be present
but no other persons than those herein mentioned
shall be permitted to be present at such execution,
nor shall any person. not a relative of the criminal
| under the age of twenty-one years, be allowed to
| witness the same.

HOLDING ON.

John Berry was pleasantly exhilerated
last evening from the effects of frequent
drinks of poor whiskey, He attempted to
walk out into the country and sober off,
but landed on Second avenue. He found
that thoroughfare SO crooked that he was
obliged to grasp post and while holding
up that useful ornament, couple of po-
licenen came along and run him into the
armory. Berry did not object as he was
in that condition of mind and body that
incapacitated him from resisting anything
or anybody.
This morning Berry was fined SO and
costs for his little spree.

THE MILAN BRIDGE.
Editor Argus.

The city council made mistake last
night in adopting a combination bridge OF
wood and iron to replace the bridge recent
" destroyed at Milan A safe wrought
iron bridge can be purchased for 81, SOC
more than is asked Tor the combination
bridge. The design adopted win not last
any longer than wooden bridge, while an
all iron bridge has no known limit to its
durability
If the council wonld adopt an all iron
bridge the tax payers OF the city would feel
as if they were receiving full value for their
money expended.
The design of the Clinton Bridge Co. for
an all iron bridge is preferable for strength
durability and cost. CITIZEN.

A SCARE.

James Clayton, the colored janitor al
the Armory building, is shade lighter
this morning than has he retofore been tht
case with his complexion. The cause il
not attributed to lilly white or other de
coctions for the publication of the skin
but simply fright which that individual ex-
perienced yesterday afternoon. Clayton
was unoccupied, as the city bastlle was
devoid of prisoners. and even the slaughter
of unlicensed CANNES was not among tho
possibilities on account of the absence OF
such dogs. He consequently engaged him
self in the harmless amusement OF
swapping butchers whip. A young boy
by the name of Farrill came along leading
horse. The animal became frighted and
this feeling was communicated to the
young boy. The horse was finally quoted
down and tie boy and horse passed away.
Shortly afterwards the lad met his father
and informed him of the little occurrence.
The paternal ancestor Immediately repaired
to the armory and met Clayton. The
father became very excited and then threat
ened to exterminate the whole colored race
and gave evidence of commencing his work
on the janitor. The latter HE'D himself to
other localities for the time being, and his
changed color is the only trace left Of the
encounter
