THE DEMOCRATS MAKE PETITION Judge Cantrell Issues Order Which Is Tacked On Taylor’s Door at Capitol Building. At Frankfort, Friday morning, the Democratic attorneys filed with Judge Cantrill in the Franklin county cir cuit court a petition asking for an in junction to restrain Governor Taylor from interfering with the meetings of the legislature. The petition covers the full situa tion, and asks that Taylor and Mar shall be restrained from attempting to exercise the power of governor and lieutenant governor. The petition sets up the claim that Goebel is governor and Beckham is lieutenant governor. South Trimble, speaker of the house, appears as the plaintiff in the case. The court issued the following order to W. S. Taylor and Collier: You and each of you are hereby no tified that on Saturday, February 3, 1900, we will ask for an order of in junction restraining you and each of you and all others from interfering with meetings of the general assembly of the commonwea 1th of Kentucky in any manner whatever, or from assem bling said legislature at said city of London, Laurel county, Kentucky, upon petition Ibis date filed in the Frankfort circuit court and from com mitting any of the wrongs or unlawful acts therein set forth. Said motion will be made before the Hon. James E. Cantrell of the fourteenth judicial district of Kentucky, in the circuit court room in the court house at Frankfort, Ky., at or about the hour of 11 o’clock a. m. Service of the notice on Governor Taylor was secured, despite the most stringent orders to the sentries to allow nobody to pass in or out of the capitol grounds. Orders to this effect were given early in the morning, but were revoked later, and those having passes were allowed free access to all parts of the capitol square. As soon as word was brought to Governor Taylor that the petition for the injunction had been filed the or ders wore renewed, but they were not renewed quick enough. Alonzo Walker, the stenographer for the Democratic attorneys, gained entrance to the grounds before the renewal of the order, and w'atching his chance, pinned a copy of the notice on the door of the executive mansion, which action constitutes a legal notice to Governor Taylor. Walker was at once placed under arrest and confined in the guardhouse. Several of the Republican members of the legislature, especially those living in the eastern part of the state, left Frankfort, Friday, for London, where Governor Taylor called the leg islature to meet in session. GOF.BEIi IMPROVES. The condition of William Goebel Friday night was considered better than at any time since he was shot. The iron will and determination of the wounded man that he will not die by an assassin’s bullet is, however, still considered the main factor in sustain ing him, but on Friday night the at tending physicians for the first time held out some hope for his ultimate recovery. BRIDGES SERVING TIME. Floytl’* Ex-Scbool Commissioner Goo* to Work »t. Convict Camp. W. M. Bridges left Rome, Ga., Thursday night to serve four years in the penitentiary camp at Worth, 80 miles south of Macon. Bridges will be given a bookkeeper’s position and wear the regular convict garb. The prisoner will work for the Canda Lumber company. COSTLY BLAZE IN DAYTON. Ohio City Sufferers Property Loss Aggro* gating 8500.000.

The property destroyed includes the warehouses and factory of J. P. Wolf k Sons, tobacco merchants; E. Bimm – Sons, grocers; Benedict – Co., cigar manufacturers; the Dayton Paper Novelty company.

The following is the letter of Ad miral Dewey to Senator Lodge, which precipitated the sensational debate in the senate Wednesday during which Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, was denounced as a traitor to hia conn try: “Dear Senator Lodge: The state ment of Emilio Aguinaldo as recently published in the Springfield Republi can, so far as it relates to me, is a tis sue of falsehoods. I never promised, directly or indirectly, independence for the Filipinos. I never treated him as an ally except to make use of him and his soldiers to assist me in my operations against the Spaniards. He never alluded to the word inde pendence in any conversation with me or my officers. “The statement that I received him with military honors or saluted the so called Philipino flag is absolutely false. Sincerely yours, Dewey.” “Georgf REFUSES TO INTERFERE. Judge Newman Remands “Peg T.eg ” Will Stilus To Custody of Sheriff. The habeas corpus case of R. A. "Williams, which was heard before Judge Newman in the circuit court at Atlanta, Ga., Friday morning, took a sensational turn at the close of the argument. Williams’attorney insisted that his client’s life was in danger. Judge Newman stated that the gov ernor and the state authorities, he felt certain, would accord to Mr. Williams ample protection. He then decided that Mr. Williams’ case did not, in his opinion, show the “extraoidiuary reasons”contemplated by the rule laid down by the supreme court of the United States in refer ence to the interference of Federal courts habeas corpus cases coming up from state courts, and ordered that Mr. Williams be remanded to the cus tody of the sheriff. ENTERED CAPITOL BUILDING. State Board of Flection Commissioner* Given Admission. The rule that no citizens should be allowed to enter the capitol building at Frankfort, which has prevailed since the legislature was compelled to leave it one week ago, was relaxed Monday afternoon in favor of the state board of election commissioners. The members were permitted to en ter their office in the capitol for the purpose of attending to some routine work relative to the contests made by the Democratic candidates for the minor places on the state ticket at the Taylor-Goebel election. They were kept waiting for an hour at the south gate of the capitol grounds before they were admitted, however. ROBERTS ARRESTED. Fired From Congress He Finds More Trouble at Home. Brigham H.
