The Death Sentence.
JORDAN TAYLOR TO BE HANG.
ED, NEAR THE JAIL, JUNE
26th.

Judge Jno. II. Grace passed sem
tence of death upon Jordan Taylor,
COL, last Wednesday morning, as fol-
lows:
"Sland UP, Jordan Taylor. You
were regularly indicted by the
Grand Jury for the murder of Sally
Saunders, col, in this county, Oct. s,
1882 To this indictment you enter
cd aplea of guilty. Counsel was APP
pointed to defend you and your
case was tried by jury Of your
countrrmen. The jury returned "A
verdict fixing your punishment at
death. lave you anything to say
why sentence should not be passed
upon you?"
The prisoner stared straight
at the. court and shook his
head in dazed sort of way, and the
Judge continued:
"rherefore, it is the judgment Of
the Court, that you be taken by the
sheriff, on juno 18th, 1885, and in
the vicinity of the Jail, hanged by
the neck, until you are dead"
AT the conclusion the wretch sank
trembling into his seat and his head
dropped upon his bosom, while his
nerves twitchcd and he appeared to
be enduring agonizing pain. In
moment he regained his usual COM
posture and walked from the court
house with a firm step. But few
persons were present when sentence
was pronounced, as it was not known
when it would be done.
AT the same time the Court also
sentenced the following prisoners to
the penitcntiary:
Gran Gibson, malicious shooting,
one year.
Bryant Morrison, col, grand larcc-
ny, one year.
Geo. Roystcr, col, grand larceny,
one year.
Harry Wallace, col, grand larceny,
(iwo indictments), nine years.

SHOT HIMSELF.
Col. Alexander Found In His Gar
den With A Gunshot Wound
In His Head.

The city was startled by the report
early Tuesday morning that Col. c,
B. Alexander had been found fatally
shot in his garden, at his home on the
Newstcad pike, about mile from the
city. The first report was that his
wound would terminate fatally in
few, hours but at this writing (Thurs-
day afternoon) he is still alive, though
his physicians regard his condition
as utterly hopeless. Drs. Fairleigh,
liopson and Seargent are attending
him. lie is in semi-conscious state,
entirely helpless and one side is conf
pletely paralyzed. The wound is in
the upper part of the right side Of his
head; it is about an inch and half
wide and three inches long. The
wound was made with load of
turkey shot and tore away the skull,
exposing the brains. Recovery under
the circumstances would be little less
than miracle, though it is possible
that he may live several days. lie
takes no nourishment and his cOndi-
ton is gradually growing worse.
HOW 1T HAPPENED.
The affair is involved more or less
in mystery, but there is but little
doubt that Col. Alexander made
deliberate attempt 10 take his own
life. He has been in bad health for
two months and the supposition is
that while laboring under temporary
alteration of mind he took this meth
oil of relieving his ply suffering.
He was not missed from his room
until after daylight and it is not
known just when he went out. lie
was found early Tuesday morning in
the lower part OF his garden, about
one hundred yards from the house.
He was lying under an apple tree
with his gun between his legs and a
pool of clUttcd blood under his head.
Some of his hair was found in the
limbs of the tree above, having been
carried there by the load Of shot
which passed through the limbs.
lie was partially dressed, having put
on his shoes, pants and overcoat. lie
had loaded the gun Monday afternoon
with turkey shot, saying he was 60
ing to kill some dogs that were both
sring his sheep
Coz. Alexander was an extensive
dealer in live stock and was man of
Ell terprise and push, He was use
ful citizen aud ono whose integrity
was never questioned. lie WAS
probably GO years of age, and until
hi, health began to fail was noted
for his great energy and his activity
and endurance.
No man in this community has
stood higher than he for honesty OF
purpose and straightforward deal
ings.
His business matters had become
somewhat complicated of late, and
this, together with ill health, very
likely unsettled his mind and led him
to take his life.

First Gentleman of Europe"


George " is still frequently men
toned as the first gentleman of Eu-
rope" but it is now pretty generally
understood that he was never at any
time in his career a gentleman. A re-
cent volume of memoirs describes this
royal cur as beastly parsonage. The
last year of his life is thus pictured:
For years the king, unnerved by ex-
cesses of all kinds, suffered from vari-
Gus maladies, govt, dropsy, asthma,
Justification of the heart, general
debility, and frequent swooning fits.
He could no longer walk alone. A
special machine was devised to enable
him to mount horse. A rolling chair
brought his majesty up q gently rising
incline to platform. From it the
enormously-swollen colossus, with the
thin, emaciated legs-which, so it was
said, were bolstered up and sti ened by
six pairs of stockings and nigh lacing
uoo,s was lifted mp by a crane, softly
Iowere into the saddle, and now the
ride GOWN the front could Legin.
The nervous system of the king had
become SO weakened that he drank
brandy or rum without ceasing, often
eleven large glasses day, besides
strong whisky punch, just to keep him
self alive. In January, 1880, Christian
Stockmar brought us the news that the
king had lost the sight of both eyes,
and was furthermore, perpetually
drunk, SO as to be invisible to every
body -
