FRANKFORT PRIMARY
Shows That Goebel Will Secure a
Handsome rlajority.

Frankfort, KY, Aug. IA
Democratic primary was held in
this county yesterday to select a
candidate for jailer, and 1850 votes
were cast, being divided between
six candidates, so that Martin Law
renee, with 72S votes, won the NOM
nation. The significant thing
about the vote is that several men
who would not agree to support the
state ticket were not allowed to
vote, and it was the understanding
that no bolter ought to vote, so the
most of them stayed at home. Bry-
an received only 2,464 votes and 2S9
majority in this county in 1896, so
the conservative figures show that
Goebel's majority will be over 1000.

Speeches Tonight From Two
Well Known Democratic
Leaders.
Chairman David B. Redwine and
c. Brock. Hill, Nominee For
Secretary of State.

There will be two speeches at
the Court House tonight in behalf
of the Democratic State ticket.
Judge David B. Redwine, Circuit
Judge of the Breathitt county dis
trict, and chairman of the late
Democratic convention, will be one
of the speakers. He is one of the
strongest leaders of the party in
the mountain district and will have
much of interest to say of the
methods by which the Republicans
have created a necessity for law
to prevent frauds IN counties con-
trolled by them. Those who have
heard so much about Judge Red
wine will have an opportunity to
see that he has neither horns nor
hoofs, but is a mild-mannered gen.
tleman, whom to know is to esteem.
The other orator will be Hon. c.
Brock. Hill, of Clark county, nom
inee for Secretary of State. He is
a forcible and entertaining speaker
and will make a fine speech.
Everybody is invited to come out
and hear them.

A THOUSAND DEAD.
The Storms in the West Indies
the Worst on Record.
The Entire Island of Puerto Rico
Devastated and 100, 900 Peo-
pie Homeless.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The fol-
lowing are the dispatches received
by the War Department from Gen.
Davis to-day:
"San Juan, Porto Rico, via
Hayti.-The true state of affairs
throughout the island is not yet
known because of total destruction
of all telegraphic connections and
great destruction of all roads. Not
more than one-tourth of the towns
are yet heard from, but enough is
known to warrant the statement
that one-fifth of the dwellings in the
island are destroyed and their own
ers are without any shelter what
ever, or any food beyond what has
been saved from the debris.
"The coffee crop and most of the
trees are ruined, and thus reliance
for support is gone. Fully one
third of the people subsist entirely
on fruit and a small degree on tu-
bas. All the former is DESTROYED
and much of the latter is rotting in
the ground. Great many thousands
of cattle are drowned, and the de-
bris carried down by the rivers is
strewn over the ocean with the
wreck of the storm and the dead
bodies of animals.

A Preachers Close Call.

The Rev. Carter Helm Jones, of
Louisville, and his family, had a
narrow escape from drowning Sat
urday morning, while fishing in the
flats near Detroit. Their boat was
overturned and they were compelled
to cling to it over an hour before
land was reached. :.

In the Thousands.

The deaths from falling walls
and drowning will number more
than a thousand, and may be sew
eral times this number. The state
of distress is very great, and when
green fruits saved from the debris
are consumed the suffering will be
very great. I am relieving the suf-
fering everywhere within reach as
much as possible, but in out-of. the
way places there are many thous-
ands who cannot be reached for
some time"
