Execution Of Jordan Taylor for the Brutal
Murder Of Sallie Sanders.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. June 26.-Jordan Taylor, col
ored, was hanged at Hopkinsville. KY, at 2:3O to-
day, in the presence of 5, 600 or 6, coo people, mostly
colored. Saloons were open and there was con-
siderable drunkenness on the streets, but order
was maietained. The criminal passed a restless
night. A squad Of forty soldiers surrounded the
jail-yard. Taylor was baptized yesterday in the
river, in the presence of thousands of people
~crowding the banks. He mounted the gallows
Will a firm step. and took position under the
beam. The rope and black cap were adjusted.
After the religious exercises the trap was sprung,
and in nine minutes life was declared extinct
Taylor spent the morning laughing and joking.
He said he was ready to die. The execution was
practically public, as the hills and high build
ings gave those outside of the i~nclosure ample
opportunity to see. He spoke FIVE minutes on
the scaffold with great nerve. A terrible rain
and thunder storm followed the execution.
The crime for which Taylor was executed was
the murder of mis- mistress. Sal1ie Sanders, on
the 9Th of October, 1884, near Casky Station, on
the Louisville & Nashville railroad. On the
night of the murder, Sallie Sanders, who had
been working for Mrs. Eliza Bronaugh. started
for her home For several months, on account
of a quarrel, she had not been living with Tay-
lor, who, finding that a reconciliation was i'm
possible, determined to kill her. On the night
in question he followed her to her home, over
taking her shortly before reaching there. The
quarrel was renewed, and Taylor, enraged at a
remark which she dropped as to another lover,
crushed her skull with an ak, killing her instant
ly. To make sure of the work, he struck
her two blows after she had fallen.
He then took her by the feet and dragged her,
face downward, to some willows a hundred feet
distant, where the body was concealed, to be dis
covered Two days afterward. Taylor was ar
rested on suspicion, and being confronted with
the evidence against him, confessed. He at
tempted to implicate an acquaintance named
Lee, and an old colored man noted in the neigh
borhood as a ''voodoo" doctor. but afterwards
retracted the charge, confessing that he alone. had
done the killing.
The scaffold on which the execution took
place is located on the river bank, in vacant lot
near the Jail. It is eleven feet high. The drop
was six feet. The inclosure was twenty-five by
twenty-five feet in size, the fence being sixteen
feet high. This is the first legal hanging that
has taken place in this county since 1863.

elections in Mississippi in 1873 were carried by
the Democratic party by terrorism and fraud;
from their homes; that hundreds of Republicans
were killed and half the people of the State were
terrcrized. Authentic reports demonstrate
that the same methods were employed in
Alabama and Louisiana in 1876. Written pro
lection was afforded to negroes who agreed to
vote the Democratic ticket. In Mississippi and
South Caroiina, in fact in all the Southern
States, the same violent methods were resorted
TO. In four counties in Mississippi Hayes re-
ceived only eighteen votes in 1876, while Grant
polled 1908 in 1872. During this same year the
Hamburg massacre and the Ellenton. riots oc-
Cured IN South Carolina, in which hundreds of
innocent colored men were shot dead. The
year 1877 was marked by the terrible Chisholm
massacre in Kember county, Mississippi, when
Judge Chisholm, a generous, noble hearted man.
his son John. and his daughter Cornelia were all
killed in sight of three churches in Christian, Mis-
sissippi. Their assassins live, honored by every
Democrat II Mississippi, and rewarded by offices
for their bloody deeds. Their crimes are de-
Tended by every Democratic paper in the North.
The work thus commenced back in 1866 by
the nhuman butcheries in New Orleans was
continued, and in 1879 we hear of the tissue
ballot. the attacking Of Republican meetings AT
Sumter. S. c.. by armed artillery. the murder of
Capt Henry Dixon at Yazoo City, Miss, and
violent attacks upon white and black Republic
ans all over the South. In 1880 the shotgun and
buil-whip were used effectively to make the
South solid against General Garfield. When
ever it was apprehended that the colored Re
publicans would attempt to vote, the polls were
surrounded by companies of armed red shirts,
and it was impossible for anyone except a Dem
ocrat to reach the ballot-box. One report says:

bis reflection on waters, which seem al.

the banks OF the mighty Columbia.
The other picture is q view OF Mount

beautiful little lake near Seattle, and,
seemingly, the mountain Is almost tower
ing over the lake, bnt in reality is, W
believe, about seventy miles away. Rainier
ia one OF the grandest mountains on our

the skies. is covered with eternal snow.
