for Killing Woman.
ORLANDO, FLA, Jan. 2l.-As 1890
O'Clock this afternoon the negro murderer,
Dan Killian, alias Dan Williams, was
hanged in the court yard Of tho Orange
county jail In this city. There was a crowd
Of about 800 persons present, chiefly whites,
though the windows aud roofs of the houses
overlooking the Jail were lined with
spectators. After a hearty dinner the
doomed man spent his last hour smoking a
cigar and talking with the colored preach
ers who came to prepare him for eterniry.
He stoutly asserted his innocence and
snRrily argued the matter, declaring that
he "had a through ticket TO heaven stamped
with Jesus name"
COOL TO THE LAST.
He mounted the scafrold with cool de-
liberation and walked to the fatal trap
without assistance. Before the black cap
was adjusted he said: Farewell world,
farewell saints and sinners, am going to
heaven" Then the bolt was drawn. After
he fell he didn't move a muscle and was
pronounced dead in fifteen minutes. Sher.
m Anderson did his work well.
Tho crime for which Ktllinn suffered was
committed at Oakland, in this county, five
years ago, in February, 1887. lie was liv.
ing with a woman named Powell. One day
he made q proposal TO her daughter, a
young woman, which she rejected. There
upon the black brute shot her down aud

her Instantly. He also wounded the girls

George D. Roberts, the New

R. Murphy, the expert, both we'll
known in mining circles, were pas
sengers on Sundays west bound
overland. They were on their way
from the newly discovered gold
fields at San Antonio, near St.
Georges bay, on the east shore of
the Gulf of California, Is miles
southwest of Altar, Sonora, to San
Francisco. They were we'll pleased
with the mines and confirm all
that has been said in regard to
their extent and richness. They
believe the camp will be a rich one

Saturdays eastbound overland

Marshal of Lower California and
one Of his deputies, in charge of
Manuel F. Rodriquera, an accused
escaped Mexican murderer from
Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, want
ed for the cold deliberate murder Of
two men in Sonora, the last one
being the chief clerk of the post
office in Hermosillo, one of the
most dastardly cold blooded crimes
ever committed. He was traced
by Marshal Obando from place to
place in Mexico and finally to
Santa Barbara, Cal, where he was
captured, after which began one of
the most hotly contested legal
fights, ever witnessed in Southern
California, over the right to arrest
and hold the prisoner, but Gen.

Mexico, heavily ironed and at
night secured to one of the officers

GAMBLING IN KENTUCKY.
Young and Old Have, Plenty of Money and
Love to Risk 1t.

Love to Risk 1t.
''I visited a number of the country
fairs in the blue grass region of Ken
lucky last year." said a prominent
New York lawyer to a reporter for
the Evening News, land I was very
much surprised at the liberal use of
money
Way out there one hundred miles
from Louisville and one hundred and
twenty-five miles from Cincinnati could
be found handsomely dressed young
men and old men, who showed that
they had never been accustomed to
hard work, fourishing their bills like
so much paper. They were not city
chaps, but country born and bred. l
could not understand it. There are no
manufacturing interests there to speak
of, no mining, nothing but agriculture,
a pursuit which requires the hardest
of manual labor; yet these men sported
as soft palms as the highest bred city
folk. Further than that, they had
plenty of money and used it literally.
81 failed to find a solution to my
problem until one day my host took me
behind his house, pointed to large fields
Of green leaves and said: DO you see
that?' / answered in the affirmative
and he said: That is tobacco. / will
get from eighteen hundred to two thou
sand pounds per acre off that field and
sell it for from twelve and one-haH to
sixteen cents per pound. I did not
work very hard for it either. The prin-
cipal trouble have is to see that the
negroes do the work, and I attend to
the gathering and selling the CROP
''The problem was solved. Where
the northern farmer by hard labor got
twenty-five or thirty dollars the Ken
lucky landlord, by the aid of his negro
help, made from one hundred and
twenty-five to one hundred and fifty
dollars, says the Chicago News.
''But that which surprised me the
most was the amount of gambling that
is permitted. Why, sir, have seen
men at those county fairs shake money
in each others faces in the presence of
hundreds, offer their bets and take the
stakes. You could hardly step up to a
tent on the grounds but that you would
find some kind Of gambling scheme.
And it was not what we call the sports
who took part, but the very best citi-
zens of the country.
''That section of Kentucky is very
productive. 1t comprises the country
in the neighborhood of Lexington,
Shelbyville, Paris, Frankfort and Mount
Sterling. 1t is no doubt garden spot,
and it is little wonder that the people
do not work hard. All they have to do
is to take care of what is around them"
