1t now appears that Mr.M Al ey-

the Republican National COMMITTEE,

ciety since the M~cCoy-M Donald

Hanging.

OAKLAND, CAL, May Is. Lloyd
l.. Majors was hanged this morning
at 1912. At ten minutes before the
hour set for the execution he was led
from the cell to the scaftold, and al
though still suffering from his late
desperate effort to escape walked the
entire distance with a firm unfiinch-
ing tread. About four hundred
persons had gathered in the Jail yard,
and the roofs Of surrounding build
ings were crowded with people to
witness the execution. He mounted
the scattold without assistance and
took up his position on the drop
firmly and erectly. 1t was expected
he would make a parting speech. but
refused to say a word maintaining
throughout stOlid silence. At twelve
minutes past twelve the bolt was
pulled and Majors fell with 4 dull
thud, his neck being clearly tr0ken.
In eight minutes he was pronounced
dead and in sixteen his body was
cut down and placed in a coffin for
delivery to relatives. Within the
Jail yard not q sound was heard.
Awful silence prevailed, only broken
by the jeers of the crowd outside
when they learned Majors had ceased
to live.
Last Monday night the condemned
man made u desperate attempt at es-
escape. Possessed o fimmense strength
he overpowered the two death
watches and the .jailer who happened
at that moment 70 be in the cell,
Wrenching the keys from the ~jailer's
grasp he dashed through the door
across the Jail yard to the street, but
just as he thought he had succeeded
ne was encountered by two tiremen
who had been attracted by the noise.
They recognized Majors, and another
struggle ensned, so terrible that Ma-
,jors' arm was broken. Rendered
helpless he was conducted back to
his cell. From that moment he
abandoned all hope and sought con-
ISOLATION in religion. Up to the last
moment he prOfessed his innocence
Of the crime charged. In a cOnver>
sation with J. b. ReLowden, brother
OF one of the murdered. he said:
"YOu may draw the life blood from
my own arm and with this pen /
will write my innocence of all cor
nection of the crime in my own
blood" As he spoke he appealed tc
heaven to witness the truth Of his
statement.

Roman Remains at mayence.


Some very interesting Roman sepulchral
discoveries have been made lately at May
ence, in the carrying-out Of some conSid-
cradle excavations and earthworks required
for carving the Ludwigsbahn railroad
around the city. Close to the Neuthor the
workmen came upon place OF considera-
BILE extent, evidently assigned TO the sepul-
ture OF civilians. A large number of large
and small stone coffins were found at
irregular distances from each other, the
intervening spaces having been occupied
by wooden cOffins, as is proved by
the fragments and the nails which
were found. One stone coffin bore
Il plate, which seems TO have previously
served rs the "head-stone OF former
grave; and all the indications suggest that
the place had been used at successive
periods as a place OF burial. Most Of the
graves that were opened contained skele-
tons of women and children, with which
Law bracelets, rings, needles, censers for
burning incense, Sc. There was one metal
coffin, in which lay woman's skeleton,
but without any inscription or ornament.
In the children's graves there were toys
and other objects, generally of beautiful
workmanship, such as little bracelets,
glass and earthenware, utensils &c.
There was one little polished goblet
OF singular beauty. One stone coffin
(the inscription on which contained
some mistakes) held the body Of wo-
man, dressed with lime for the purpose
Of preservation, having the back hair ar.
ranged in a long plat Of eight strands,
woven with great elegance, and the clearly
discerni6e remains of cap. The hair is
now red, but most probably was once
black. There was in the coffin a stone
needle-case, ornamented with gold bands,
TWO bone dice, wooden casket with bronze
mountings, the key Of which was In excel.
lent preservation, and bronze ring. As
to other objects found In the place, a small
bronze figure OF a dancing Bacchante, three
black earthenware waterfalls beautifully
painted and bearing the following inscrip.
tons, "Yiyas mi, I" Bibe," DOS" were
especially deserving OF notice. A quantity
OF silver and bronze coins were found
ranging from the time OF Hadrian to the
end OF the third century.
