OusMns; of Republican*.
Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 2.—Rev. John
Stamper, brother-in-law of Wharton Gold
en. was recalled to-day in the trial or j
Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in
the Goebel shooting.
Col. Parks of the prosecution questioned j
him as to the part he took in getting Re
publicans from Scott county to go to the
state capital on Jan. 25. He answered that |
h* secured quite a number.*
On redirect examination Stamper said
his conversations with Golden regarding
the money he (Golden) was to receive for
convictions were confidential, but that he j
nude them public because a man’s life I
was in jeopardy.
“The witness should not make stump
speeches in the court house,” said Judge
Cantrill sharply.
Stamper declared he had never been au- j
thorized by anyone to offer money to Gol
den to leave the state before the trial. His
memory had been refreshed since adjourn- •
rv nt of court yesterday and he desired i
to correct the statement made then that
hi? offer of $5,000 to Golden was after the
talking with Caleb Powers, the defend
ant. He said he had the conversation with
Golden before talking to Powers.
The defense called R. L. McClure of
Lexington, a newspaper man. Attorney i
Owens asked him if witness Golden had
rot said to him that Youtsey was a fool 1
for talking too much and would not get a
cent, but that he (Golden) had fixed it
before he told his story to the prosecu
tion. The pics cution objected and was
sustained by the court. An exception was
taken. £
Fsr*t Kentucky Called on.
Col. C. C. Mengal of the First Ken ucky
National Guard, followed. He produced
two telegiams received at Louisville on
the day of the shooting at 2 p. m., con- i
Mining only the words, “All right.” and
signed D. R. Collier, adjutant general.
Also a letter from Collier, explaining that
the words “All right” m*ant for the wit
ness to come to Frankfort and bring a
regiment and Gatling gun. On cross ex
amination the prosecution read this letter
to show that Op’.Her had sent the tele
grams btf re ar.d rot after noon.
Col. Mvngal produced orders signed by
Gcv. Taylor for the movement of the reg
iment to Fiankfor-. He said he could not
evpiain why the order was issued on Jan.
18, the date it bore, ar.d not executed un
til the 30th instant. Jn the order. Taylor
directed him to obey all orders and sisna’s
gi\en him by Adjutant General Col i*r.
Mountaineers* Resolution*.
Stephen G. Sharpe of Lexington, chair
man of the mountaineers’ meeting held
on the steps of the capitol Jan. 25, produc
ed the minutes and resolutions of that
meeting. Before the jury was brought in
for the afternoon session, Attorney
Brown of the defense, presented the copy
of the resolutions, adopted at the meeting
of the mountain men, and asked that the
paper be read to the Jury. Passionate
speeches for and against the admission of
the papers nnd evidence were made by
Attorneys Brown and Williams. When
they hod ceased the judge said:
“The paper offered as evidence is
clearly incompetent. You might as well
read to the Jury Pope’s ‘Essay on Man.’ ”
The jury was then brought in and
Sharpe again placed on the stand. Wit
ness said he told Gov. Taylor and Gen.
Collier before Jan. 30 that he had been
warned by a Democratic friend to stay
eway from Frankfort as the parties push
ing the gubernatorial contest had 2,000
rifles there and were ready to use them.
Witness was in Gov. Taylor’s office in
five minutes after the shooting. Taylor
asked him to take charge and prepare to
defend the building. He did so. giving
orders not to permit the arrest of anyone
in the Capitol grounds.
Would Do It Again.
In response to a question on cross-ex
amination Sharpe stated he had in sub
stance said to some persons on the Sat
urday before the shooting that he was
ready to take his gun and either lead oi
follow’ to prevent the ousting of the Re
publican officeholders.
“I am ready to do it now’,” he ex
claimed.
Frank C. Carpenter was the last wit
ness of the day. He was In Frankfort
Jan. 7. and was called by the defense to
show the state of feeling on the streets
of the city immediately after ihe shoot
ing of Goebel. He repeated threats he
had heard made against occupants of the
executive building. While he was being
cross-examined court adjourned.

STREETS RAN WITH BLOOD.
Chinaman** Account of the Situation
in Pekin When Mansacres Were
in rrogre**.
Chicago, Aug. 2.—A special to the Record
from Victoria, B. C. f says:
A letter received by a local Chinaman
by the steamer Glenogle, dated Chi San
Fu, the capital of Shan Tung, on July 2,
says Cho Ta. a reformer who evtaped from
Pekin on June 26, has given the writer the
following information from the capital to
June 26;
There were 100.000 Boxers and Manehu
troops in th*i cap la’ when I left, and
numbers more were pouring in from all
par s of ihe Chi Li, San Tung, Shen Si
and Ho Nan. Their main object seemed
to bo plunder and ha*red of foreigners.
The gates of Pekin were consequently
opened day and night to permit these re
inforcements to enter the city. Those in
the city had attacked the foreign lega
tions continuously for ten days, but w'ere
repulsed every time, although they man
aged to set fire to a number of houses
adjoining the foreign quarters, thereby
leaving the latter considerably exposed. I
bol ©ve en? cr two foreign houses hrui
already been destroyed when I left the
c.ty. No de.ent p?is n could get any
where near the place for fear of being
called a fortigner by the mob.
“Not counting the 2,000 to 3.000 converts
who have been massacred by the Boxers
inside Pekin, it was estimated when I
left that over 4,000 peaceable citizens had
also been slain in the melee. The streets
ran with blood; it was awful. The Tar
tar and Forbidden cities were filled to
overflowing with Boxers and Manehu
troops, which caused a panic among the
princes, dukes, nobles and members of
the imperial clan, and other banners, who
were afraid that they also w’ould be
plundered as soon as the Boxers got be
yond control, and so by diplomacy they
managed to clear both cities of their dan
gerous friends, closed the gates and
placed strong guards of banner men to
prevent further Ingress of outsiders.
The Tartar City* gates are now* only
opened a couple of hours a day to enable
residents to purchase things from the
other cities. To show how popular the
Boxen? are with the Manehu*. in front of
the palaces of each prince, duke and no
ble. there are Boxer altars, or recruiting
pieces.
On June 19 Yung Lu. who had always
advocated the suppression of the Boxers,
having received dispatches from the vice
roys nnd governors south of the Yellow
river, urging the same step, thought to
back up his policy but quoting the provin
cial dispatches at the Grand Council that
morning. A great clamor at once arose
among the other grand councillors, head
ed by Prince Tuan and Yang Yu. who de
nounced A ling Lu as a traitor and literally
overwhelmed him by their numbers. Fi
nally. in spite of the endeavors,
of the Empress Dowager to restore
order Prince Tuan and Yang Yu cried out
that they would take all the responsibil
ity of the war against foreigenrs. and
rushed out of the grand council chamber,
all decorum and etiquette being thrown to
the winds.
The Empress Dowager left the Council
Chamber in despair, and has not been
heard of since, nor has the Emperor.
They are said to be under the restraint of
Prince Tuan’s men in the palace. When
this was know*n to the eunuchs and pal
ace officials they raised the cry, “Up with
the To Tsing dynasty and down with the
foreigners!” which was taken up by the
populace in the Tartar city. An hour af
terward began the reign of Prince Tuan
and his clique. We fear greatly for the
safety of uor beloved Emperor.”
HIS OW\ CAMPAIGN MANAGER.
Col. Bryan Will Take Chnut, of It to
a Large Extent Him.elf.
Chicago, Aug. 2.—The Record to-morrow
will say;.
William J. Bryan in a large measure
will be his own campaign manager this
year. Directly after the notification cere
monies at Indianapolis next week the
Democratic candidate for President will
return to Chicago, and, with the help of
his party's leaders, formulate plans for
the campaign. According to the pro
gramme as outlined by J. G. Johnson,
chairman of the National Executive Com
mittee. Adlai E. Stevenson will come
back with Mr. Bryan to this city, and the
two will have a large share in arranging
the lines for the coming political fight.
Mr. Johnson was told by Mr. Bryan over
the telphone to help in arranging the pro
gramme for the campaign. Mr. Johnson
said the candidate would probably be
here three or four days. Practically the
full roster of Democratic leaders will go
to Indianapolis for the notification, and
they will return here with Mr. Bryan for
a session that will determine in its broad
lines the way the campaign is to be con
ducted.
It is eaid at headquarters that Mr.
Bryan is not satisfied with the way the
campaign has been run thus far. but he
feels that he has learned a good deal of
politics since he was a candidate before,
and he wants to put it to practical uses.

SOME STRIKING SENTENCES.
Emperor Compare* the Chinese *o
the Amaleklte*.
London. Aug. 2.—The Berlin correspon
dent of the Dally Chronicle, who reports
Emperor William’s extraordinary sermon
of Monday on board the Hoheniollern, says
that some of the most striking sentences
attributed to the Kaiser are the follow
ing:
“Once again has the heathen spirit of
the Am ale kites been raised in distant
Asia with great power and much cunning.
With destruction and murder it will dis
pute the victorious march of Christian
customs and Christian faith.
“And again is heard God’s command.
‘Choose us out men and go out to fight
wdth Amalek.’ A hot and sanguinary strug
gle has begun. Already a number of our
brethren are over there uhder fire. Many
more are traveling along hostile coasts.
“You have seen them, the thousand?
who, to the call of volunteers to the front
who will guard the empire, have assem
bled themselves to battle with victorious
bann rs. We who remain at home are
bound by other sacred duties. Woe unto
us if we remain slothful and sluggish
while *hey are engagrd in their difficult
and bloody work, and If. from our place
of security, we only curiously look on
while they w*restle in battle.
“Not only should w r e mobilize battal
ions of troops, but w r e should also and
shall set in motion an army of trained
people to beg and entreat (or our breth
ren that they may strike into the wild
chacs with sword in hand May they
strike fer our most sacred possessions.
We would pray that God, the Lord, may
make heroes of our men and take those
heroes to victory, and then with laurels
on their helmets and orders on their
breasts. He may lead them home to the
land of (heir fathers.
“Our fight will not be finished in one
day; but let not our hands grow weary or
sink until victory is secured. Let our
prayers be as a wall of fire around the
camp of our brethren. Eternity will re
veal the fulfillment of an old promise—
‘Cal! upon me in trouble and I will deliver
thee.’ Therefore, pray continuously.”

The Delegates Tendered on Excur
sion Down the River.
Dublin, Ga., Aug. I—The twenty-fourth
annual session of the Georgia State Hor
ticultural Society was called to order in
this city this morning by Dr. P. J. Berek
mans, the President. On behalf of the
mayor of the city, who was unable to be
present, C. A. Weddlngton delivered an
address of welcome, followed by Hon. L.
Q. Stubbs, on behalf of the people gen
erally. These addresses were responded
to on behalf of the society by Prof. H.
E. Stockbridge, director of the Florida
Experiment Station.
The annual address of President Berck
ma-ns was very interesting, and he took
occasion to scare some of the fruit grow
ers for shipping faulty peaches this year.
If this is kept up, he said, the prestige
Georgia fruit now has in the markets
will be destroyed. He thinks that there
should boa fruit inspector in Georgia.
Following the address of President
Berckmans. Prof. W. M. Scolt, state
entomologist, read a report upon the San
Jose scale work of the state. Prof. Scott
traced the scale as it moved in different
localities until it had overspread the en
tire state. The scale is now most numer
ous along the railroad from Waycross to
Bainbrldge and Albany, from Tlfton to
Valdosta, Fitzgerald and Oordele, from
Thomasvllie to Albany, Smithvllle to Fort
Gaines, Americas to Columbus, Cordele to
Savannah and from Miicoti to Dublin.
This gives the scale a wide range and
renders its eradication doubtful. In re
gard to treatment, Prof. Scott said until
further experiments develop something
more satisfactory. we will con
tinue to use kerosene in me
chanical mixtures with water as
soon the fruit crop Is gath
ered. Infected trees should be sprayed
with 10 per cent, kerosene in mechanical
mixture with water. Particular care
should be taken in ihe use of kerosene as
a summer wash as there is always more
or less danger of injury to the trees
sprayed. The summer treatment must be
followed in the fall as soon as the. foliage
Is shed by an application of 20 per cent,
kerosene. To obtain good results every
portion of the infeted tree must be wet
from the ground to the tips of the twigs,
and gr<at care should be exercised to pro

trunk of the tree. Bright days should be
selected for the work, and spraying should
continue late In the even ng.
Following the by l rof Scott, tile
mcrrdng session adjourned after the ap
pointment of the commute s to inspect
and report upon the fruit display. The
commi tes will report to-morrow.
The fruit dlsp’ay ts fine, though not as
many varieties are shown as was oxpect
ei. 'i he largest display Is by the Georgia
experiment station.
The principal paper at the afternoon
session was by Prof. A. L. Qiialntance of
the Georgia experiment station. This
paper was mainly Ihe report on biology
for the year, and the main feature of Ihe
paper was a report of the result of spray -
ing peaeh trees wilh Bordeaux mixture
to prevent brown-rot. In many cases, he
said, almost the <iire product was re
claimed by the use of this mixture. Dif
ferent specifs of tries gave different re
ttul s. but In nearly every ease
from 25 10 73 per cent. of the
fruit was found to be saved by the use'
of this mixture. Prof Qualntance staled
that from test* made by him at the Geor
gia experiment station showed lhat for
maldehyde gas has been of little effect
in preventing the rotting of peaches. Much
discussion was occasioned by Prof. Quain
tance's paper.
The following Is the result of Prof.
Quaintanoe's experiment with Bordeaux
mixture: Hulsteads' No. 63. made two ap
plications, the result was thot per
cent of the fruit of an unsprayed tree was
rotten. The per cent, of a sprayed tree
was 64 per cent. Here tvo sprayings re
claimed 44 per cent, of the fruit. Hul
steads' No. 64, received three application*;
93 per cent, of unsprayed tree was rotten,
while on a sprayed tree only 25 per cent,
was bad. In this case three applications
reclaimed 68 per cent, of ihe fruit. Chi
nese Free, Elberta, Triumph, Lady Itigalfl
and many other varieties were experi
mented with In like manner and the urn*
results obtained.
At 4:15 the afternoon session adjourned

A NEGRO'S BOLD DEED.
Went In White Woman’s Boom but
Hint When She Screamed.
Lyons, Ga., Aug. 2.—This morning about
3 o'clock the room of Mrs. Peter Clifton
was entered by a negro. He came In
through a window. When Mts. Clifton
discovered that someone was In the room
she thought that it was one of the chil
dren, who, she says, very often get up
and dome to her bed in the night. She
asked several times who It was, and the
negro answered each time In a whisper.
“It's me.”
When she reached out her hand and put
it on his head and discovered that It was
a negro, she became very much fright
ened and called for Mr. Clifton, who was
sleeping on the back piazza. The negro
then Jumped out of the window and ran.
She was able to see, as he went through
the window, that he was in ilia shirt
sleeves and of short stature.
Before entering Mr. Clifton’s house he
made an attempt to get In Mr. Carl Rog
ers' house. Mr Rogers' mother and two
sisters were alone in the house, Mr. Rog
ers being a way. The noise that he made
at the blinds In trying to unfasten them
awoke the ladle* and they got up, lit a
lamp and sat up the rest of the night.
TO WARD OFF EVIL.
Propitiating Influences by Spirits of
tlie (tltnltll Chinese I’ngodns.
From the Engineering Magazine.
From the point of view of artistic and
essentially Oriental design the pagoda
possesses tho most Interest. These singu
lar constructions, at least one of which
nearly every city possesses, fairiy dot the
surface of the country. Their purpose ap
pears to be twofold—either ns monument*
commemorating the virtues of the munlfl
•eence of *ome departed benefactor, or as
agents of "feng *hut" (literally "wind
and water," the spirit genlu* of good and
evil, which, if properly propitiated, will
ward off pestilence and famine and |ier
mlt only prosperity and happiness *o visit
the neighborhood.
Those very curious tower* are of great
antiquity, Chinese records authenticating
their origin at least ns far back us the
early part of the Christian era. In size
they vary from the little ones, which are
nothing more than roadside shrines, to
what once the most beautiful and
largest—the celebrated porcelain pagoda
of Nanking, destroyed in the Talping re
bellion. The extraordinary structure had
a height of 261 feet, wa built of masonry,
and covered with glazed tiles of many
colcrr. and was a monument of native
skill In erection as well as to artistic
sense In design. Unfortunately, most of
the largest pagoda* are being allowed to
ert mhlo to decay, although some are
tended and give hope of standing for othc
generations to admire. The prominent
one* vary in height from 100 to 200 feet,
are usually octagonal In plan, with
straight but tapering sides, and always
are composed of an odd number of stroies.

N, J. Men Have Been Threatened.
New York, Aug. 2.—Seevral hundred an
archists held a meeting In Rartholdi Hall
at Paterson, N. J.. to-night, for the pur
pose of dismissing the situation In Italy.
There were many Frenchmen, a number
of Spaniards and a few Austrians In
the assemblage, which conalrlel for the
most port of Italians.
Pasqualle Frank Presided. At the open
ing he denounced the newspapets In gen
eral and claimed that they were misrepre
senting the anarchists.
Pedro Keteve, the Spanish leader and
editor of a Paterson anarchist publication,
was the principal speaker. He discussed
the situation In Italy from his own stand
point, claiming that the government was
bad to the core. He said the poor people
of the nation were oppressed and over
buidcned by taxes, and because of file Ist
t r the ror p-ople could not stay In tha
country. He reviewed the work of the
'-'o-lalls s In Italy and claimed that their
propaganda had done no good; their In
tentions might be well, but their methods
were not prodcctive of results.
He said Jlaly’s only hope was In ths
anarchists. They had no secrets, he said,
and took no part In plots. He said they
did not select by lot or otherwise any
person to kill. Hr.scl. he said, had not
been sent to kill the King, he did the
act of his own free will. Bsteve said
that he was not sorry. This was greeted
with liughter and applause.
Hesolntlons Adopted.
Resolutions were adopted a* follows:
"We here assembled Intend to state
that Bread's deed was the result of the
present social state of afTalrs, and there
fore we are trying to establish one where
violence would not be possible,
"We deplore as foolish the Idea that
there could have been or existed a plot
In this city (Paterson) and protest against
those who attribute it to and are trying
to make the Italian colony of Paterson
responsible for Hresd’s deed."
Charles H. Petrie, a silk finisher of
Paterson, has received a number of let
ters from local anarchists, or what he
calls the Mafia, in which his life was
threatened.
Mr. Petrie I* a prominent member of
many societies that have for their object
the restriction of Immigration and dis
franchisement of certain sections of tha
Italians. He l not alone. Six promi
nent citizens of Riverside, N. J.. who sharo
his beliefs, have also received threatening
letters.
Some time ago Mr. Petrie was outspoken
against allowing the Itallann the use of the
public schools at night to teach what they
saw fit. He has been threatened for this
particularly. He hds armed his household
aril the other men who have been threat
ened huve applied to the police for pro
tection.
