TAYLOR WILL HANG,
UNLESS GOVERNOR STONE IN
 TERCEDEs.
One of the Murderers of the Meeks Family to be Executed
 Tomorrow.

CARRoLLToN, Mo, April 29.-Unless there is an eleventh hour intcrvcn- tion on the part of Gov. Stone, Wm. r. Taylor. who, with his brother murdered the Meeks family ill that county two years ago, will pay the penalty oi his crime on the gallows tomorrow. His brother George, who broke jail on April II and has since managed to eludc capture, was also to have been executed tomor- row.
 Owing to the prominence of the murderers and the singular atrocity of the deed, the case of the Taylors takes a conspicuous place in the criminal annals of Missouri Vim. Taylor was a banker at Browning, in an adjoining county, and his brother owned farm in the vicini- ty. They were implicated in an arson case, and to escape conviction they murdered Gns Meeks, his wife and two children and left third child under the belief that she was dead. The bodies were hid in q straw stack on Taylor's farm. and pext morning the little girl recovered sufficiently to crawl from the straw stack to a neighbours house and tell of the crime. The Taylor's flew and were captured in Arkansas. Owing to their wealth they made bitter fight for life and succeeded once in hanging jury.

 For the Legislature the result is in doubt. Jefferson County is entitled fo three members, and the honor of representing this county ill the Lower Honse of the General Assem- ply of the State at present lies be tween Neil Williams, Street, Sallee and Caldwell.
 The race for Prosecuting Attorney Is one of the surprises of the election. Tine in1iea tions are at this writing thar Martin will carry the county  for reelection over SorrelIs by a majority of 25o or S00 with several other townships yet to hear from, which may further increase Martins majority.
 The election passed off quietly throughout the county and no trouble is reported from anywhere. The returns indicate that he Deme- crats of the county have boiled their full strength, which is a certain guarantee of a big Democratic victo- 1y in the September election.

He wandered in the Harz and the
Black forest, clad in wagoner's smock,
Eixing with the people-especially the
miners-geologizing as he went, and
making intellectual pilgrimages to Wei

fried Muller and Heeren, the historian,
seem 70 have influenced him most. At
Berlin, whittier he next went, he stud
led under Schleiermacher and Neander,
to the latter OF whom he was much at
tracted, and whose teaching appears to
have had much to do with broadening
views that We're of themselves already
stretching Ear beyond their originally
restricted confines.
Neander once startled his disciple by
remarking. You have some Jewish no
tions in Scotland with regard to the OBJ
servance of the Lords day, Blackie,
who still considered that Scottish the
ology and Christianity were convertible
terms, - was staggered by the assertion
THAT one of the most significant OBJ
servances of Scottish Righteousness was
not Christian, but Jewish. But the
fourth commandment was too deeply
imbedded in Blackie for him to be
swayed by such reasoning. He contin-
ued to spend his Sundays after the
Scotch fashion, and, says he, Il never
had cause to regret my conscientiousness
