"Now," said Longworth, las we are
all here, do not see any necessity for
delay. You have probably read the
article that appeared in this mornings
Financial Field. Mr.. Kenyon has writ
ten statement in relation to that which
gives the full particulars of the inside
of very disreputable piece of business.

quickly as possible. and it will appear

{ Mr.. Kenyon, perhaps you will tell us
something about the mine."
Kenyon, like many men of worth and
not of words. was very poor speaker;
He seemed confused, and was often lit.
tie obscure in his remarks, but he was
listened to with great attention by those
1 present. He was helped here and there.
by q jndicious question from young
Longworth, and when he sat down the;
impression was not so bad as might
have been expected. After moments
silence it was Mr.. King who spoke. :
LAS take it, he said, ''all we wish
to know is this: Is the mine what it;
is represented to be? Is the mineral
the best for the use Mr.. Kenyon has in
dictated? Is. there sufficient guam
tity OF that mineral in the mountain he
speaks of to make It worth while to
organize this company? It seems to
me that this can only be answered by
some practical man going out there
and seeing the mine for himself. Mr..
Melville. is, understand, practical
man. If he has the time to spare,
would propose that he should go to
America, see this mine and report"
Another person asked when the option
on the the mine ran out. This was
answered by young Longworth, who
said that the person who went over

the word right" or wrong; then
there would be time to act in London

ELIJAH GOES UP.
NOT IN A CHARIOT BUT UP THE
SPOUT.
The Windjammer From Away Back Runs
Over Him Rough Shod-Beats Him
Even in Christian.

The county conventions proceed.
ing the Republican district conven-
ton at jacksonville next Monday
were held in all of the remaining
counties except Mclean last Satur-
day.
The result is that E. T. Franks has
undoubtedly defeated E. G.. Sebree
for the Congressional nomination.
Sebree had previously carried Hen
derson Is, Union s and has added to
his column Hancock's s, giving him
"a votes.
Franks has Daviess 81, Webster IL,
Christian 36 and Hopkins 10, giving
him &c, with McLean's 8 votes not
yet instructed.
Sebree's only hope is in contested
delegation from Daviess, but even if
he should capture Mclean and get
all of Daviess he would still lack
two votes. These he would try to get
in Hopkins, which may divide its del
egation. But Franks has So uncon-
tested delegates to possible 40 for
Sebree, giving ,Sebree seven of
Hopkins) and this would enable him
to seat his own delegation from Da-
viess and win with ease.
The result turned on the vote of
Christian, and for once Lige failed to
hold the winning cards. Franks tied
on to Mckinley, and Bradley and
Sebree were scarcely visible to the
naked eye.

Louisville, April 4.-Senators Goe-
bel and Bronston spoke tonight at
Library Hall at the invitation of the
Young Mems Democratic Club. A
large and very attentive audience was
present and each speaker was warmly
received. Mr.. Geobel gave an ex-
haustive review of the practical side
of the last Legislature. He handled
the Republican party without gloves,
and warmed up ss he proceeded with
his arraignment till there was but
little left to denounce. Mr.. Bron-
ston, the man who denounced Secre-
tary Carlisle as the BOSS Traitor"
took up National as we'll as State is
sIts, and was enthusiastically re-
ceived.
While he was speaking some one
yelled "Hurrah for Carlisle" Kisses
followed this interruption, but Bron-
ston stopped the disturbance by de-
claring that he would even be for
Carlisle to beat the Republican
party.

Destructive Fire at HecIa.

A tenement house at Hecla,o ne mile
North of darlington, burned last
week. 1t was occupied by David
Nunly. He had about 5000 in gold,
silver and currency in the house which
was also destroyed. While gold and
silver as general thing will stand
fire, yet he has been unable to find
any of it even in metal condition.
MIR. Nunly thinks some one robbed
the house and then set it on fire to
cover up the crime.

yesterday evening as Mrs. Nancy
Killer was riding home horseback
from Berea she was met in the road
by a negro, Raymond Brown, who at
once took hold of her horse and COM

Demented Negro Found Dead.

Charlie Barker, an old negro, was
found dead on farm near Dover one
day last week. He left the poor house
to visit his son and was in such de-
mented condition that he lost the way
and wandered around in the woods

starvation. His body was badly de-
composed and he was supposed to
have been dead two weeks when
found.

Governor Brown Employed.

Frankfort. April 4.-Gov. Bradley
has employed Ex-Governor Brown to
assist Acknowledgement Taylor in a
suit on behalf of the state against
ex-Auditor Norman and Auditors
Agent Max Barker, of Jefferson coun-
ty, for the recovery of sums alleged to
have been paid to the auditors agent
without warrant of law as commits
sions. The suit has been prepared
and was to have been filed for the
term Of the Franklin circuit court,
which begins Monday, but there was
a delay in preparing the petition until
too late to get on the docket for the
April term. The suit grows out of
the statements made on this subject
in Governor Browns message to- the
legislature in August 1892.

THE FISCAL COURT.
An Important Meeting of the County Mag
istrates To-Day.

All AnPoftanI Meetlng OF the county Mag
istrates To-Day.
The Fiscal Court,composed of Esqs
Buckner, Long, Parker, Barker, Fra
ser, Hanbery, Myers and Collins,and
presided over by Judge Breathitt,
will meet to-day for the transaction
of business that will require week
or more. The laying of the tax levy
Tor 1896 will be one important matter
and other business of equal import
ance will be up for consideration.
There is growing demand for an
investigation into the expense ac
counts of the workhouse, which have
been increased several thousand dol
lars since the Republicans secured
control of the Icounty offices, and it
is said some interesting statistics can
be produced if the Magistrates de-
eide to indulge in figures. The ex-
penses of running the work house
have been increased to an extent that
will cause howl from one end of the
county to the other when the facts
are brought to light.
If the Fiscal Court cares to, save
81, 600 or $4,000 year of the peoples
money, it can find fruitful field for
its labors in changing the fee system
recently adopted in the work house
management and reducing salaries
raised since the last county election.
Unless something Of this sort is done,
lookout for an increased tax rate.
Republican administrations cost
money.

the city and his bond, pending an in
vestigation, was placed at $500. He

IN CHRISTIAN COUNTY.

There are % precincts in Christian
county. Seven have 2 delegate votes
and q have one each, making 35 in
the county convention. 1t requires
10 votes to control the county's 81
votes and Franks got these and more,
He swept the city precincts clean and
in some of them there was not even a
fight. In Hopkinsville No. l, the
court house precinct, about IS ne
groes and 20 whites were present.
The meeting was intensely harmo-
NOUS. Young MIR. Fowler was elected
Chairman and presided with fairness
and impartiality. Mckinley, Crum-
baugh and Franks were endorsed
without even a division and j. NJ.
Startling, Charlie Jackson, col. and
Peter Postell, Jr., col, were made
committeeman for the precinct for the
next four years. Then came the only
fight. DR.. Seargent nominated county
Chairman A. H. Anderson for re-
election as "committeeman-at- large"
John Postell at once took the floor
and nominated Ed Glass, col, and
called for division. The chairman
ordered the sides to separate, but
there was such a rush for the Glass
side that DR.. Sargent was very much
hacked to find himself all alone, Ras-
tus had on his war paint and the
white man wasn't in it.

CARLISLEAC CANDIDATE
WILL NOT COME TO KENTUCKY TO
MAKE SPEECHES.
Wants Goldbug Plank in the Platform
No Reference TO His Late Candidacy
For Senatorial Fusion Not Likely.

Washington, April 5.-Secretary
Carlisle has written the following let
ter on the subject of his candidacy
for the Presidential nomination at the
convention at Chicago:
Washington, April4 896.-Charles
K. Long, Esq. Chairman Democratic
State Central Committee, Louisville
Ky.-My Dear Sir: Your favor of
March 30, in which you say, in sub
stance, that many of my friends in
Kentucky and elsewhere desire me to
become candidate before the APP
preaching National Democratic con-
vention for nomination for the Office
OF President and requesting me to
glve"some authoritative or definite ex-
preston" upon the subject, was duly
received, and has been maturely con-
considered.
Many communications upon the
same subject and of similar import
have been received from friends in
different parts of the country, and
while very grateful for these numer-
Gus expressions of confidence and es-
TEEN upon the part of my Democratic
fellow citizens, l have not been able
to reach the conclusion that the ex-
isting conditions require me to COM
ply with their requests by authoriz-
ing them to announce me as a candi-
date for the presidential nomination,
While feel profound interest in
the welfare of my party, am much
more concerned about its declaration
OF principles than in its selection of
candidates, because, in my opinion.
Its failure or success at the election,
as well as its capacity for useful SER
vice In the country in the future, de-
ponds upon the position it takes or
omits to take upon the public ques-
tons now engaging the attention of
the people, and especially the ques-
tons affecting the monetary system
OF the country and the character and
amount of taxation to be imposed on
our citizens.
Its position upon these and other
subjects having been agreed upon,
and clearly and distinctly announced,
the convention ought to have no diff
Guilty IN selecting an acceptable can
dldate who will fairly represent its
views; and in order that its delibera-
tons may be embarrassed as little as
possible by the contentious of rival
aspirants and their friends, | think
my duty to the party will be best
performed by declining to partici-
pate in the contest for the momina-
lion.
The obligations assumed when [ ac-
'epted my present official position re-
Iuire me to devote my entire time
md attention to the public interest
committed to my charge, and | shall
continue to discharge the duties i'm
posed upon me to the best Of my abil-
ty and in such manner as will in nv
Judgment most certainly promote
he true interests of the country; and
t, in the opinion of my fellow Dem
)crats in Kentucky, my services en-
tile me to their commentator and
approval, l would regard their in
torsement of my public course as an
nipple reward for the little l have
'een able to accomplish in behalf of
Ter State administration and sound
financial policy.
With many thanks for your kind
etter, am very truly yours.
