CAPITAL CITY NEWS AND GOSSIP
SPECIAL LETTER.

SPECIAL, LETTER.
The report that there were strained
relations between Gov. Bradley and Col.
Gather caused big sensation early this
week, but upon investigation it was found
that there was no truth whatever in the
report. Gov. Bradley says all talk of
GOODNESS is absolutely unfounded The
Governor further said: 81 am reorgan-
izing the State Guard, and of course
can not wait until the regiments now in
the volunteer service shall be mustered
out in order to reinstate them in their old
places in the State Guard service"
The Governor declined to be present at
the opening of the Fifth district Repub-
lican rally in Louisville Saturday night.
Col. Patrick Heeney, of Covington,
Tenn, arrived from a three months tour
of Ireland last Friday. On his return
trip Col. Heeney stopped over in the ma
tional capital long enough to persuade an
old sweetheart of his to become Mrs.
Heeney, and they left for Frankfort,
where they are now the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Heeney, on the South Side.
Col. Heeney was much pleased with his
trip, Notwithstanding the fact that the
weather i'll the old country was exceed
ingly bad He says that crops are good
and the majority of the people happy.
Mr. aud Mrs. Heeney left Thursday for
Covington, Tenn, where they will make
their future home, carrying with them
the best wishes of their most of friends in
this city.
Owing to delay in making repairs on
the new A. o. II. Hall in this city, the
''smoker" was postponed one week and
will be given Thursday October 9th.
Several impromptu speeches will be upon
the programme and general good time
guaranteed every one.
The Golden Hour Club, one of the old
est social organizations in the city, will
open the social season of 1S9S-99 with
grand hop about October 10Th. The
many young lady friends of the Golden
Hour Club will be glad to hear that they
will give several delightful entertain
ments during the winter months at the
new A. o. II. Hall.
Brother John r. Sower has purchased
a new buggy and will hereafter treat his
best girl to buggy ride every Sunday.
Speaking of flowers, John says "The
Rose is my favorite, and in my opinion
is the fairest and most beautiful flower
that ever grew"
1t may be of interest to the many read
ers of the Kentucky Irish American to
know that one of the present State Off
Gals will be spared from being side
tracked by the Republican slate makers
in Frankfort. The lucky man is Attor-
ney General Taylor, who is slated as a
sure shot for the Gubernatorial nomina-
ton. Auditor Stone has discovered that
he is not on the Hunter slate and that
Treasurer Long is also ineligible to re-
election, and both will drop quietly back
into private life. Commissioner of Agri-
culture Moore can not win for Treasurer
because he is a Bradley supporter. Sec
rotary of State Finley will also quit poll
tics, temporarily at least. The remain
der of the officials and employees being
nearly all Bradley supporters, will also
have to walk the plank" in go.
Frankfort On Sunday is now the dry
est" town in the State. Every merchant
is required to keep closed all day Sunday
under penalty of paying $50 fine. Mayor
Dehoney and the entire day and night
police force patroled the streets last Sun
day and saw that the law was enforced.
The reform was caused by the late grand
jury's roast of city officials for letting
saloons and gambling houses run wide
open on Sunday.
When the late shakeup at the Kentucky
penitentiary in this city took place sew
eral prominent Irish Americans secured
responsible positions with the State,
among whom were Col. Ed McGrath,
deputy warden; Col. John Hunt, foreman
chair factory; DIR. II. L. Tobin, prison
physician; Messrs. Meagher, J. T. Larken,
Thomas G. Newman, Cassidy, Punch,
Tobin, Noonan and several others. 1t
goes without saying that they will dis
charge their duties with credit to them
selves and their State.
Several train loads of Western troops
passed through Frankfort the past few
days. They were on their way to Camp
Hamilton, Lexington, where they will
remain until ordered to Havana, about
November LIST.
