RECOMMENDED HANGING.
Verdict of Guilty Returned Against John Green Sanders.

Marion, May 10.-(Special. 1.-The case against John Green Sanders. colored. charged with conspiracy and murder, was taken up Tuesday morning and the jury returned a verdict of guilty this morning and recommended that he be hung.
 About two years ago, under the new road law, MT. Will Mullins. a promi- nent white citizen, was appointed road overseer for several roads north of Ma iron. He had under his charge some twenty-five negroes. The new law made the duties of the overseer more strict than usual, and John Green Sand CTS and his brother, Luke Sanders, became angry with Mullins, who pressed them to do their work, and from the evidence brought out the brothers formed conspiracy to take the life of Mullins. The following day John Green quit his work and went for water for himself and the hands without permission from the officer, and when upbraided is said to have fol- lowed the officer and struck him to the ground, when a general shooting occurred, the three wounds inflicted upon John Green evidencing that he was shot by the officer, who was lying down. Mullins was instantly killed. his body showing several pistol bullet
 
 blunt instrument. There were no white persons present and the State depend ed in large measure on the evidence of the defense, the circumstances prov ing that the killing was premeditated and foully carried out.
 The case against Luke Sanders will be taken up Monday.
 Mir. Mullins was very popular. and only the strong pressure by the most conservative white men prevented the lynching of John Green Sanders when first arrested.
 Luke Sanders escaped arrest and for more than a year made his home in Mississippi and Arkansas. being finally captured in the latter State. the captor receiving S350 reward offered by the State and pri Ate individuals.
 The Court EAuse was we'll filled by both white antblack during the trial. but there was No evidence of excite ment. and the verdict seems to meet gUEeral approval.

Mobile. May 10.-(Special. .)-The horse show, flower parade and tourna- ment for the benefit of the Mobile public library took place this after noon at Monroe Park and was very largely attended. there being nearly two thousand persons present. There were great many classes in the horse show with numerous entries in each and that feature of the entertain ment was decided success.
 A centre of attraction was the flower parade, and though there were not as many entries as in former years, there being but five, they were very pretty. The first prize was won by the entry of the woman's department club. driven by Mrs. George Lyon. with Miss Glennon in the trap with her.
 The tournament followed the flower parade and the first prize was won by Mir. Horace Turner, who took six rings in the three tilts. He crowned Little Miss Lonnie Lyons Vass, queen. The entertainment was a grand success.
 The body of D. c. Cleveland who was ridden with buckshot last Tuesday at Sandy Point. Texas, was brought here this afternoon for interment. The funeral will take place tomorrow from the home of his mother in Toulminville.

cacy. I advise all persons who are at all run down in. health to nourish and
 strengthen the nerves by the use of Paine's Celery Compound-no matter
 what the cause of the nervous condi- tion may be, nor how serious the dis
 order is.
 "I have treated many obdurate cases of disease which promptly
 yielded to Paine's Celery Compound,
 and which made most marvellous re-
 coveries in a very short time after
 had prescribed this effective remedy. rsjne's Celery Compound Is not a patent medicine.
 No class of professional men are more conservative, more careful in giving advice. nor more painstaking
 in finding out the real facts of case
 than physicians.
 When doctors of known repute not only prescribe and use, but also carry
 home Paine's Celery Compound for their own families, there can be nc doubt of its high standing in the eyes of medical men in general.

DUNCAN'S STATUS
HI MAY YET BE SENTENCED TO
 DEATH.
Ths Charge of Murdering Policeman Kirkiey Still Hangs Over Him. Arranging for Double Execu-
 ton in Birmingham.

Birmingham, May 10.-tSpecial.)- Frank Duncan, who was convicted ana sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Policeman j. W. Adams, at ahe same time that Frank Miller was sentenced to hang for the same crime, may also have to face the gallows. As has been heretofore stated, Miller and Duncan were leaders of noted gang of safe robbers, five members of which are now behind the bars, three having been sent to the penitentiary. Miller and Duncan were charged with the murder of Policeman Adams and klrk- ley while the other three were only charged with safe robbery. The two leaders have only been tried for the murder of Adams. For this, according to the decision of the Supreme Court yesterday. Miller must die on June e8th. Duncan is still charged with the murder of Kirkley, and he will be tried on that charge. and there is a possi- bility of the death sentence being inn posed, the theory being that he shot Kirkley, while Miller shot Adams. The date for Duncan's second. trial has not get been determined and the probabili- ties are that it will not take place un- til the fall term of the court Miller shas practically given up all hope of escaping the gallows, and Is nerving himself for his inevitable end. He oc- casionally calls for whiskey. and this is given him in small quantities by the county Jail authorities.
 Already arrangements are being made for the double execution which is to take place on the above named date, Alonzi Williams. colored. being also unoer sentence to die on that day for the murder of another negro. It is not probable that the white men and the negro will be hanged together, and the idea of hanging Williams at Il o'clock and Miller an hour later is be- ing favorably discussed. Although the date of execution Is seven weeks off. intense interest is already being dis played in it. judging from the number of persons who are seeking permission from the sheriff to witness the hanging, which will take place inside the jail yard.
