DOMESTIC NEWS.
The situation at Albany

y
of an election at the next vote. Its thought
significant by some persons that one or two
ssalwarts who were loudest in deny.
ing those reports are now silent. 1t is
said that considerable money changed hands
on the vote yesterday, parties betting that
tkere would be an election. Offers to bet
were freely made last night again. A close
canvass failed to find any of those reported
ready to change their votes. The report
about Speaker Sharpe declaring that he
would soon change his vote is fatty contra.
dicted. He will not indicate his intentions,
but points to his record thus far to show
where he il. A light vote is expected to-day,
as lmany have gone boma as usual, after
pairing. The general opinion is that both
Miller and Lapham have reached their
highest vote, and cannot be elected this week.
Next week may bring solution.
Hanged for Murder-A sickenins Affair.
LITTLE Rock ARK July 16th.-The Ga
zette's Stanburg special gives an account Of
the hanging yesterday Of negro, Willis
Reeves, for the murder CT negro boy a few
months ago. A great crowd thronged the
streets. Reeves was a muscular, ill.favored
fellow, 20 years old. He had offered TO bet
81 900 that he would never be hanged, and
once started to run away from the Sheriff.
When the Sheriff attempted to place the
rope around his arms he fought like tiger,
both men tunbling around the sceffold till
the Sheriff fell through the trap, and the
prisoner was barely stopped from jumping
off upon the points of the bayonets of the
guards. Finally he was secured, the moose
adjusted, and the trigger sprung, but the rope
was SO long that his feet touched the ground,
and he had to be pulled up through the trap
to readiust the rope. He was badly worn
out, but not too weak to roundly berate the
officials for their cruel carelessness. The
scene was most sickenipg. The second at
tempt was successful, death ensuing, and the
body was cut down and buried in the adjoin.
ing graveyard.

KANSAS CRY, July 16sh-A train robbery
occurred last night on the Rock Island Rail
road at Winslow Station, rear Cameron
Junction. When the train, which left this
city last night in charge OF Conduc.
tor Westwell, reached that point at
$3.50, gang of desperadoes disappeared
and sidet,acked the train. Every
car was boarded. The conductor was killed
and the passengers robbed. It is impossible
to get any particulars up to late hour.
Winslow is in an open prairie country, and
would seem TO be the last place on the
line that robbers would select for such
an operation but the vicinity has q
very hard population. and it is not improbable
that the outlaws would be assisted in their
efforts TO escape pursuit. The first report of
the robbery received in this city started
numerous runners about the notorious James
brothers, but all speculation is idle at present.
