ASSASSIN’S BULLET FINALLY ACCOMPLISHES ITS DASTARDLY WORK. Address Issued to People—Democratic Legislative Headquarters Re* moved to Louisville. A Frankfort special says: The bullet fired by an unknown assassin Tues¬ day moining, January 29tb, ended in the life of General Gcebel at 6:45 o’clock Saturday evening. The only persons present at the deathbed were Goebel’s sister, Mrs. Brauuacker, and his brother, Arthur Goebel, of Cin¬ cinnati, who had been in constant at¬ tendance at Governor Goebel’s bed¬ side. Justus Goebel, another brother,who had been hurrying from Arizona as fast as steam would carry him in a vain hope of reachiug his dying broth¬ er in time for some token of recogni¬ tion, arrived forty minutes too late. Oxygen was frequently administer¬ ed the dying man during the after¬ noon in an effort to keep him alive at least until his brother’s arrival, but iu vain. By the cruel irony of fate the train on which Justus Goebel was trav¬ eling to Frankfort was delayed several hours from various causes, aud when Mr. Goebel finally reached the city it was only to learn that bis brother was dead. SUFFERS RELAPSE. Governor Goebel’s condition Friday night and well into the morning was considered so much improved that for the first time siuce he was shot down in front of the courthouse, hopes were entertained of his ultimate recovery. About noon Saturday Governor Goebel had a relapse aud steadily grew weaker with each hour. There was practically no rally from that time until his death. At 2:50 p. m. Goebel’s physicians had abandoned hope. Efforts were then made to keep him alive until his brother from Arizona could arrive. Among bitter partisans of both par¬ ties deep grief is manifested, and already a movement has been started to erect a fitting monument for Gov¬ ernor Goebel’s memory on the spot in the state house grounds whore he was shot. Within a few moments the follow¬ ing announcement had been prepared and was silently handed about hotel and in the streets: ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. To the People of Kentucky—It is with profound sorrow that we an¬ nounce the death of Governor William Goebel. la his last moments he coun¬ seled his friends to keep cool and bow to the law in all things. We, his his friends and advisers, beg of the people of Kentucky, in this hour of affliction, to carefully abstain from any act of violence or any resort to mob law. It would be his wish if he were ulivc that there should be absolutely no slain on his memory by any im¬ prudent act of any who were his friends. The law is supreme aud must in time be re-established and all wrongs he and his party have suffered will find their proper redress. Joe C. S. Blackburn, W. S. Pryor, Urey Woodson, C„ M. Lewis, J. B.

This was the first intelligence given the public of the death of Mr. Goebel. BECKHAM SWORN IN. Exactly one hour after the death of Mr. Goebel, Acting Governor J. C. W. Beckham was sworn in as governor of the state, the oath being adminis¬ tered by S. J. Shackelford, clerk of the court of appeals. It had been determined to keep secret tbe news of the death of Gov¬ ernor Goebel until Lieutenant Gov¬ ernor Beckham should have been formally inducted into office, and the delay was made greater by the inability A Costly Undertaking. Major Bathurst, who was wounded at the battle of Colenso, arrived at Southampton Saturday on board the Servia. He Bays there are 20,000 Boers at the Tugela river, but that General Buller can get through if he is prepared to sacrifice 5,000 or 6,000 men. Bodies Coming From Hanila.

Until this had been done, the Democratic attorneys were unwilling that the oath of office should be administered. The ceremony took place in a small room on the same floor as that in which Governor Goebel died, and but a few doors to the west of it. In the room at the time of the administration of the oath were Senator-elect Black¬ burn, Colonel Bennett H. Young, Col¬ onel Philip Thompson, Eph Lillard, J. H. Illis, Lieutenant L. E. McKay, S. J. Shackelford, clerk of the court of appeals; Dr. P. W. Wells, Colonel Harry McKay, Colonel Jack Chinn, Kit Chinn, Dr. McCormick, Joseph Blackburn, Jr., and three representa¬ tives of the press. The first official action of the new Democratic governor was the appoint¬ ment of a new adjutant general and his last as acting governor was an order removing Adjutant General Col¬ lier and Assistant Adjutant General Dickson. The new governor seemed to be deeply affected by the position in which circumstanses had placed him, anil he did not reveal much joy over the congratulations which those in the room showered upon him, although he accepted them gratefully. Saturday night Governor Beckham issued a proclamation announcing the death of Governor Goebel. HEADQUARTERS AT LOUISVILLE. Louisville is to be the seat tem¬ porarily at least, of the Democratic state government of Kentucky. Gov¬ ernor Beckham and several of his chief advisers reached that city Sunday, and it is the purpose to make Louis¬ ville the headquarters of the executive and legislative branches of the state government as long as the presence of troops keeps them from Frankfort or until the present conflict of authority in the state is settled. TAYLOR RESTRAINED Until Feb. 8th From Interferring With fleetings of the Ken¬ tucky Legislature. Saturday morning Judge Cantrell, of the circuit court at Frankfort, granted a temporary injunction re¬ straining Governor Taylor from inter¬ fering with the meetings of the legis¬ lature and from removing the seat of the legislature to London, Ky. The temporary injunction is to remain. binding until February 8, when the hearing to make it permanent will be heard before Judge Cantrell at George¬ town, Ky. No attempt will be made to secure personal service of the writ of injunc tion upon Governor Taylor. Immediately after tbe issuance of the writ Judge Cantrell instructed Sheriff Suter, of Franklin county, to make no effort to present the order of court. The judge directed that it be allowed to remain binding without service, because of the danger threat eding the man who should undertake the task and the results that might ensue owing to the excited state of the public mind. LUMBER COMPANY WINS. End of Big Damage Suit at Jackson¬ ville, Fla. One of the longest trials ever held in the United States court at Jackson¬ ville, Fla., was determined late Satur¬ day evening by a verdict in which the plaintiff was given damages. The case was that of L. Bucki & Son Lumber company against the Fidelity and Deposit company, of Maryland, and action was for damages alleged to have arisen from issuing of two attachments against the property of the plaintiffs in Jacksonville more than two years ago. After the trial, which began on January 18th, the jury returned a verdict giving the plaintiff damages for a snm of $10,880 and allowance for solicitor’s fees of PRIVATE OPERATORS Installed In Governor Taylor’s Exclu¬ sive Quarters at Fr.xnkfort. A Frankfort dispatch says: Gover¬ nor Taylor has provided against the delay and inconvenience of receiving and sending telegrams in his present exclusive quarters by means of mes¬ sengers. He has had two wires run into his office and has his own opera¬ tors within the office. Promised Public Buildings. The senate committee on public buildings and gronnds has authorized favorable reports on the bills author¬ izing public buildings at Selma, Ala., and Natchez, Miss., each to cost $100, 000 . 5=0 ’“*3 o=5 Cx3 M co C/2 e I President Will Hands Oft In Kentucky Troubles. FOR PRESENT, AT LEAST Decision At Cabinet Meeting. Kentuckians Visit President. A delegation of Kentucky Demo¬ crats, consisting of Senator-elect Blackburn and Representatives Rhea, Wheeler, Smith, Allen and Gilbert and Colonel Phil Thompson, called upon President McKinley Friday at the white house to protest against federal interference in the contest in Kentucky. Senator Liudsay arrived soon after the delegation had been ad¬ mitted and was immediately ushered into the president’s private office, where the conference was in progress. Senator Blackburn and Representative Rhea acted'as spokesmen. They explained their deep solicitude lest a collision should occur between the warring elements in Kentucky and made the report that Governor Taylor had solicited federal intervention the text of their protest. They assured the president that the law. and consti¬ tution of Kentucky had been strictly followed by the Democrats in the con¬ test over the governorship, and that they proposed to stand by the law. The crisis that had arisen, they de¬ sired should be met in the courts and determined by the law. The Democrats,they asserted,would abstain from violence. They simply desired a lawful and orderly settle¬ ment of the controversy. Federal in¬ tervention would only aggravate mat¬ ters, intensify the excitement and almost certainly lead to trouble and perhaps loss of life. They earnestly appealed to the president to avert such a calamity by abstaining from interference of any sort. Senator Blackburn and Representative Rhea said that they were going to Kentucky and counsel peace aud obedience to the law. Senator Lindsay endorsed what his colleagues had said about the Democrats acting within the law and constitution. The federal troops to Kentucky would, in his opinion, cre¬ ate anarchy and chaos. The president in reply expressed his great anxiety over the situation, his profoundest wish that violence be avoided and that the contest should be legally determined. He assured the delegation, in a gen¬ eral way, that he deplored the situa¬ tion, and that federal intervention would come only as a last resort, af¬ ter having been invoked by the proper authority under the law aDd constitu tion. While the president spoke in gen era * ^ erm8 > the delegation expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied with assurances - DSSCUSSED AT CABINET MEETING. After the cabinet meeting Friday afternoon, the following statement was made: “The president bas decided that no cause bas yet arisen to justify the in tervention of the national government in Kentucky, and has so informed the governor.” Some significance may attach to use of the word “governor” in this statement, inasmuch as the reply directed to Taylor. “TROUBLE JUST BEGUN,” Says Mark Hanna In Regard To Ken¬ tucky Fight. Senator Marcus A. Hanna, of Ohio, on being asked for an expression of opinion concerning the state of affairs in Kentucky, said: there “Regarding the political situation I will say nothing. Of course it is a shocking state of affairs that a citizen, walking the streets of a city, a free man, can be shot down by an assassin hidden behind a screen. “No matter what the provocation may have been, murder is never justi¬ fiable. The public affairs of any state may be depended upon to take care of themselves without the intervention of a lawless band of armed mpn. “I know Kentuckians well. In a crisis like the present one their judg¬ ment is not always the best, and for that reason I fear that trouble in Frankfort is only begun.” DAYTON HAS BIO FIRE. Business Buildings In Ohio City De¬ stroyed with Heavy Losses. The mc3t disastrous conflagration that has ever visited Dayton, Ohio, broke out in the tobacco warehouse of J. P. Wolf Thursday morning. The property destroyed includes the warehouses and factory of J. P. Wolf & Sons, tobacco merchants; E. Bimm & Sons, grocers; Benedict & Co., cigar manufacturers; the Dayton Paper Novelty company.

TAYLOR An Injunction Is Asked For By Legislators. COURT ISSUES ORDER Notice Is Tacked On Taylor’s Door At the State Capitol—Most Appear In Court. At Frankfort, Friday morning, the Democratic attorneys filed with Judge Cantrill in the Franklin county cir¬ cuit oourt 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 tc 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: Yon and each of you are hereby no¬ tified that on Saturday, February 3, 1900, we will aBk 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 iu any manner whatever, or from assem¬ bling said legislature at said city of London, Laurel county, Kentucky, upon petition this date filed in the Frankfort circuit court and from com¬ mitting any of the wrongs oruulawful 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 were 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 watching 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. GOEBEL 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 ma_> 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 DONS STRIPES. Former County School Commissioner Begins Serving Time. W. M. Bridges left Rome, Ga., Thursday nieht 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 conviot garb. The prisoner will work for the Canda Lumber company. BOER LINES THINNING. Many Are Leaving Beleaguering Force To Meet Invaders. A London dispatch says: Helio¬ grams flashed from Ladysmith three days ago say that the Boer investment lines then were thinning, aud the burghers were moving in force toward the Tugela, indicating that a collision was expected there.’ This intelligence bears out other signs that General Buller purposes a fresh attack. Lord Kitchener has been traveling from army to army in northern Cape Colouy, and General French, by in¬ structions, is now in Cape Town con¬ sulting with Lord Roberts. 4 4 Nature Abhors a Vacuum ."

An appreciation of President Kruger is displayed in the window of the Lud gate- .Circus phrenologist’s, attracting a fair share of public attention, it seems very like an appreciation most of us have reached without phrenol¬ ogy. “Mr. Kruger,” says the profes¬ sor, “has a typical Boer head. It is wide at all points in a line drawn from the level of the ears upward. This in¬ dicates, besides much destructiveness or an aggressive tendency a high de¬ gree of secretiveness, cautiousness and acquisitiveness. He is instinctively distrustful, slow to decide, to speak, to act. The lower part of his forehead is larger than the upper. With strong perceptive powers, he has but moder¬ ate reflective powers or imagination. The religious region of his head is large. He is well meaning and con scientlous to the degree which his race has attained. Phrenologically, we we should say that the Transvaal ques¬ tion is one of race, and race is very much a matter of brain development.
