Tho Taylor Hanging.

CARRoLToE, Mo, May 1-Carrolton yesterday was mixture of political convention, criminal end popular felic:- tations. The visitors came from all around to see Wm. Taylor swung into eternity, aud most of them were glad the MeeKs' family murder was at last to be avenged. After receiving the bene diction from Father Kennedy early the evening before and being received into the Catholic church, Taylor spent the remaining hours in meditation, during which he would frequently kiss the crucifx given him by the priest. Short ly before the beginning of 'he death march, Taylor handed his lawyer let ter marked ''To the Public"
 "rhat's my only statement" he said In it the murderer sad prejudice and perjury had convicted him and that mobs and that element bounded him to bis grave.

IN his department entitled "The Progress of the World" the editor of the Review of Reviews makes 6 sugRes- tive comparison between the Spanish and American natives of the present day. As against the five first class bat t!e-ships of the United States now afiost (to say nothing of the four in pro- cess of construction, aud the SIX others already ordered). Spain has but one bat tie ship; while our navy has about twen~ ty vessels adapted for port defense, Spain's has only one; in cruisers also the United States is far in advance of Spain. All of which goes to show that Spaniards can hardly know what they are talking about when they assert their preference of war with the United States rather than the acceptance of mediation in the Cuban trouble, for such 8 war would of necessity be chiefly on the sea.

THE coming concert of the Spanish American Alliance heralds the first appearance of this highly deserving and meritorious organization before the public. The organization has been in existence about two years and although it is exceedingly modest in its preten- tions it has done world of good among it membership and is deserving of wide and generous encouragement. The object for which the concert is given to raise money for the purchase of an American fiag-is one that should stir the patriotic impulses of every lover of old glory to do what is possible to help good cause along. We hope to see the opera house crowded.

DR. RICHMOND, the late territorial veterinarian, is commended by the Star for having "cut down the expenses of the office very considerable" If half the reports of pr. Richmond gre true the people and territory would have saved money had his expenditures been more lavish and his administration less economical. If, it is true, as Mr. Cam eron gays, that the losses among the swine herds in the Salt River Valley will alone reach sl00.000 the truth of this becomes the more apparent. Per sonsily we know nothing whatever Of the Dr. He may be all and everything that is claimed in his behalf. but the statements made by Mir.

SCHARLTTEE AGAIN.
Wonderful Ssgacity of his Famous
 White Horse.

 J. s. Pslmerlee returned to Silver City from the Mogollan country and tells the Enterprise of Schlstter the healer.
 It is very probable that Schlatter is housed at some isolated ranch in the mountains between Mule Springs and Clifton. The people ss the ranches where he tarried, tell wonderful tales about the healer and bis white horse.
 ''It is positively asserted that the horse will not touch food or water except where his master dei2ns to accept like hospitality. The eppetlzing alfalfa and the cieanest, incest corn failed to tempt the horse to partske thereof at the Ian- ches where his master did Dot eat or drink, and this was true where he had been ridden long distances between ran- ches.
 "The healer carries some sort of a metallic tube or walking cape, which IS said to weigh about forty pounds. It is supposed to be one that was presented to him by Colorado miner.
 "Tbere is considerable mail awaiting him in the post offices at Graham and Silver City. Many of the letters appear to contain handKerchiefs."

We Pass Again.

The foregoing communication was received by the CITIZEN yesterday. As the question was evidently intended for the political bolters we pass for the purpose of giving them an opportunity to answer same.
 EDITOR CITIZEN:
 Dear Sir-Oan you enIighteD your readers through the columns of your paper what innovation is taking place. There are pretended human voices soaring in the air talking and saying blasphemes, and pretending to distrib- ute elements, to retard or destroy reproduction in man; call themselves a mart. Electricity seems to be the element used. They enter the houses and attack the human life at their pleasure, disclaim that they do anything but wrong. It is a mysterious innova- tion whatever it may be. Any mention in your paper will be hailed by many.

THE Chester PennHyIvanla Times has among other things the following to gay of annonymous correspondents: The minister who says do as I say. and not as do, is not fit to lead his flock. The captain who orders his command to make sn assault where he is not willing to lead it does not inspire confidence. So it is with the man who wants a wrong exposed but conceals his identity because he lacks the courage to be known as the person who made the complaint.

Talking OF pcncl,rs.

A gentleman who recently returned
from Sussex county says he found lots
of politics and also peach gossip. Con
ccrning the peach crop he says that
every variety is full, and the peaches
are now as large as the end Of the
little finger Unless all records are
broken the peach crop will have no
damage from cold this season. 1t was
six years ago Thursday May 9th, 1880
that peaches were frozen on the trees.
That was the latest day that such
thing ever happened. Tho prospects
are now good, therefore, for the crop.
The fruit has not been at all damaged
in Sussex this season except ia some
clayey soils, where peaches were
scorched trifle by the hot sun of 10
days ago, because of lack Of foliage to
protect the young peaches. Tho
growers can afford to lose 50 per cent
Of the peaches in the June drop and
still have as many as the trees can
bear. Unless the June drop thins
thom the growers will be Obliged to
thin thom 10 insure first class fruit.

Interpretation OF Sidney Grundy's
amusing three.act farce, "The Arabian

more successful way anywhere and
certainly never to bettor pleased
audience than that in Assembly Hall
last night. The cast was well selected
and every one acquitted themselves adj
mirably. 4. Bayard Hoisel IN the

and who were equally pleasing were
Messrs. Willard Smith, William B.
Jester. Sylvester ID. Townsend, Miss

Helen p. Cheairs and Miss Anna
Cheairs. Tho stage arrangements wero
well managed and the audience showed
its appreciation by hearty applause. A
very pleasant feature of the evening
WAS the singing of Mr.. william Brady
of Middlctown. Mr.. Brady e selections
wore pleasing AS usual and he was
Obliged to respond TO an encore at each
appearance. Ogesby's orchestra OF
Chester furnished music, and alto
gethar tho affair was tho most SUCCESS
full OF the kind ever given in Delaware
City, and was thoroughly enjoyed by
an audience that filed the hal to tho
doors. Not tho least unpleasant feature
was mn impromptu dance which waa
given after the entertainment by the
young men and in which nearly all OF
tn young people present participated.
