DUAL GOVERNMENT
IN OLD KENTUCKY
Goebel Is Sworn In By Democratic
Members of the Legislature.
MANY EXCITING SCENES
IN FRANKFORT CITY
Oath Was Administered
With the Wounded Han
Propped Up In Bed.
A Frankfort special Bays: William
Goebol was shortly before 9 o’clock
Wednesday night sworn in as governor
of Kentucky and <J. 0. W. Beckham
a few minutes later took the oath of
lieutenant governor. The oath was
administered to both men by Chief
Justice Ilazlerigg, of the court of
appeals.
The plan to make Goebel governor
was Bet in motion early in the after
noon. A statement was prepared say
ing that the boards which had heard
the contests for governor and lieuten
aut governor had decided in favor of
Goebel and Beckham; that the boards
intended to report their findings to the
legislature, but that they had been
prevented from bo doing by the action
of Governor Taylor in declaring the
legislature adjourned.
The statement then goes on to sav
that the members of the legislature
were driven from place to place by
the militia and threatened with arrest
whenever they attempted to hold a
meeting. It was declared the belief of
all the signers of the statement that
Goebel and Beckham were the legally
elected governor and lieutenant gov
ernor, and each man as he signed the
paper announced that be voted for the
adoption of the report of the contest
boards, which declared Goebel and
Beckham to be the men rightfully
entitled to the offices.
It was slow work obtaining the sig
natures of the members of the house
and senate, and although the work
was in progress all afternoon, it was
not until evening that the necessary
number of signatures had been ob
tained. As Boon as the last man act
ually needed had affixed his signature
to the statement word was sent to the
residence of Chief Justice Hazlerigg,
of the court of appeals.
He went at once to the capitoj ho
tel, passed directly upstairs to the
room of Mr. Goebel aud administered
the oath of office. Mr. Goebel was
propped up with pillows and was able
to raise his baud only with the great
est difficulty as he glistened to the
words of Judge Hazlerigg.
When the oath had been given, Mr.
Goebel sank back exhausted, the effort
having been almost too much for his
strength.
j
Immediately upon leaving the room
where he hail sworn in Mr. Goebel,
Judgo Hazlerigg wont to au adjoining
room, where he swore in Mr. Beckham
as lieutenant governor. This done, he
returned to his home. Judge llazle
rigg declined to make any statement
concerning the manner in which the
offices had been conferred upon the
Democratic contestants.
“The majority of both houses of the
legislature declared for them,” he
said, “and when I was asked to swear
them in there was nothing left for me to
do but administer the oaths of office.
The proceeding was, of course, entirely
legal and proper. 1 would not have
done as I did had it been otherwise.”
NEW ADJUTANT NAMED,
Mr. Gobel, as souq as he was as
sured that ho was legally governor of
Kentucky, took prompt action regard
ing the military arm of the service.
Two orders were quickly prepared for
his signature, the first of which dis
charged Adjutant General Collier from
office and appointed General John B.
Castlemuu, of Louisville, as his suc
cessor.
The second was directed to the com
manders of tho militia stationed in

; Frankfort, directing them to return
at once to their homes. Word was at
! once sent to General Castleman of his
appointment. There is a possibility
of trouble in this matter of control of
the state troops.
The regiments of the guard have
lately been reorganized and are for
the most part made up of Republicans
and the personal followers of Governor
Taylor. *
It is not certain that they will at
once obey the orders issued by Gov
ernor Goebel, and any attempt to force
them to do so will almost certainly
result in trouble. Some of the officers
intimated Wednesday night that they
would not obey the orders to leave.
TAYLOR ADJOURNS LEGISLATURE.
It was the intention of Governor
Taylor and his advisers that no meeting
of the legislature should be held Wed
nesday,even though it proved necessary
to arrest and detain in enstory all
those who persisted in holding meet
ings, to accomplish this he issued his
proclamation adjourning the body.
Once adopted, the policy was car
ried out to the letter. Compelled by
the soldiers to retire from the capitol
building, the Democratic members of
the legislature went to the opera house.
Held back from the opera house, they
went to the courthouse, prevented
from entering the courthouse they
we it to the Capitol hotel, only to be
told that any meeting they might at
tempt to hold in the building would
be suppressed, all found taking part
in it would be arrested and the hotel
itself seized by the soldiers.
There is much doubt among the
members of the legislature as to
whether or not they will go to Lon
don at all. Home of the Republicans
left Frankfort during the day, declar
ing that they were going direct to
Loudon, but no Democrats so declared
themselves. The words, “London,
Laurel county,” are not words that
please Democratic ears. In fact, many
of them declared that their lives would
not be safe after they rearhed the
tow n. It is a place of about one thou
sand inhabitants, situated in what is
known as the “feud country.”
The county is one of the greatest
Republican strongholds in the state.
The people of Laurel county are in
tensely for Taylor aud intensely against
Goebel and all his works. It is
this latter feeling that causes the Dem
ocratic members of the legislature to
feel a hesitancy about venturing at the
present time, when party feeling runs
so high and so bitter from end to end
of the state, within the confines of
Laurel county or into the neighbor
hood of London.
Adjutant General Collier declared
if they did not attend the legislative
meeting which is called to meet on
February oth he would arrest them,
individually, provided he received the
necessary orders from Governor Tay
lor, and convey them to London.
The Democrats have not said they
would not go to London, but their le
gal advisors have counseled them that
Governor Taylor has no right to ad
journ the legislature from Frauk
fort, and it is likely that the matter
will be tested in the courts before any
circumstances can arise which would
call for the arrest of members. The
Democrats have not, in fact, decided
what they will do.
All day Wednesday the shadow' of
the death of Mr. Goebel hung over
the Capitol hotel. His strength be
gan to fail him late in the morning,
the bustle and excitemeut of the
morning, despite all precautions, pen
etrated into his quiet room, and bad
a most serious effect upon him.
KANSAS TOWN BURNED.
Wednesday night fire destroyed the
business portion of Winfield, Ivan., a
town of 6,003 inhabitants south of
Wichita. A hundred people were ren
dered homeless. The Arlington hotel,
the Hackney block, which cost $125,-
000, and its entire contents, and the
Rutter livery barnwas burned with all
the horses.

Brakemsn with Brains.
Some time ago a brakeman on th
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad used big
brains and saved a passenger train
from running into two derailed cars.
The company sent him a check for $5(3
and posted a bulletin complimenting
him for his quickness of thought. A
few days later Engineer John Hag
gerty was oiling his engine at Con
nellsville while waiting for the pas
sengers to leave the train. He heard
another train coming and believed that
it was not under proper control. He
sprang into his cab, opened the throttle
and started his train. The other en
gine struck the rear car, but it was
not a hard blow', and Haggerty’s
promptness saved ten or a dozen lives.
The company has ordered a handsome
gold watch, suitably inscribed, and a
gold chain, for Engineer Haggerty, as
a reward for his devotion to duty and
“using liis brains” in time of emer
gency.
