ARE PREPARING.
The Two Factions Getting Ready for
the Coming Struggle.
Arms Said to Have Been Received From
London-Victims of the Fight the 9th
er Day Escorted to Their Graves
by Heavily Armed Guard.

LONDON, KY, July 21.-Clay county
appears to be alive with armed men;
both sides to the feud have suspended
all labor and are assembled in their
respective neighbo1hoods. Prepare
tons for war go on. Arms are said to
have been received from this point
and taken to Clay county. 1t is be-
lieved they were for both sides.
Judge w. L. Brown, London, who
has tried many mountain feud fighters,
says that he regards this as the most
serious trouble Clay county has ever
had, and he expects to hear of des-
perate fight.
Hugh Griffin and Aaron Morris were
laid in the same grave. Harvey Griffin
was placed beside them. The funeral
procession escorted the cOrpses to the
burial grounds under a heavy guard,
armed with Winchesters.
The Philpot-Morris feud can be
traced back over eight years. 1t began
in the Pigeon Roost fight, in which the
Philpots and Fishers were engaged
with a number of alleged followers of
Morris. On election day 1. 3. Philpot
was killed, and a young man
named Nicholson, clerk in
the pension department at Wash
ington. who had come home
to vote, had leg shot off. George
Cole, who last year killed Marshal
Roach at Barboursville, and is now a
fugitive from justice, was riddled with
bullets. Several others were wounded.
Sam Philpot, who figured prominently
in that fight, was wounded at the bat
| tie of San Juan hill.
The next fight was about six years
| ago. One of the Stuarts and Maj. Jack
| Downey, of the Chadwell-Stuartfo forces,
were killed. The Stuarts are alleged
allies of the Chadwells and Grifins in
the present feud. Joe Nance and John
| Bowling were sent to the penitentiarv
on account of their participation in
this battle, but were afterward par
| doned.
|
five years ago, when Tim Philpot, Ed
Fisher and others on one side were en-
gagged by the Chadwells and George
Thompson on the other. Thompson
was killed. and both Tim Philpot and
Ed Fisher were indicted and tried, but
they were acquitted.

ing lost their lives at the hands of the
Hamptons, who are now in the Morris
Griffin ranks. Others were wounded
The next battle was fought on Horse
Creek, at a saloon, year ago. In thi:
fight James Crow Philpot shot anC
killed William Bundy, and was in turf
killed by Aaron Morris, Bundy's son
in-law. Morris was sentenced for 9.
years, but on a new trial he was &C
quilted.
1t is charged that the Whites, of The
Howard White-Baker feud, assistef
him.
AS a result of last Mondays battl,
four men, Hugh Griffin, Aaron Norris
Harvey Griffin, of the Morris side, anC
Ed Fisher of the Philpot faction, hav,
been buried. Two others will prob

NEW GUN TESTED
1t is the Most Formidable Weapon OF
the Kind the World Ever Saw.
The MuzEIe Energy of the New Qua is IS
Per Cent. Greater Than That of the
Old-A New Type of Mount
Also Tested.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Tests at the
Indian Head proving ground of 4
inch gun, representing the latest adj
vance in naval ordnance manufacture,
has demonstrated that the United
States government is in possession of
the most formidable weapon of the
kind in the world. The gun was de-
signed by the bureau of ordnance, and
has a chamber large enough to accom-
modate the charge of powder carried
by the old 5-inch weapon.
With a charge of II pounds of per
forated grain navy smokeless powder
a muzzle velocity Of 2, 991 foot seconds
was obtained, with a muZzle energy of
2O49 foot tons and with chamber
pressure of 16 % tons per square inch.
With a charge of 1854 pounds muzzle
velocity of ., 937 foot seconds was OBJ
tanned, with a muzzle energy of 1872
foot tons. The muzzle energy of the
new gun is rs per cent. greater than
that of the old.
A new type of mount for the heavy
fOur-inch gun was also tested and
worked in a thoroughly satisfactory
manner.
In addition to their 12-inch turret
guns the new monitors will each have
an auxiliary battery of four of the new
four-inch guns.
Orders were issued by the secretary
assigning Commander G. o. Allibone to
command the Gun boat Wilmington.

Alleged Honey to Back 0Oebel
Could Not be Found.

There was a lively scene at the
saloon of John Kesler and Geo.
Hess Saturday night. This place
is the alleged repository for $17,-
600 of Goebel money at odds of
10 to Z.
Strange as it may seem, none
of this money has ever been bet.
Several persons, believing that
Goebel is Ca gone gosling, have
carried the real stuff to this place
On Saturday night the alleged
pile of Goebel money there was
shown to be a four flush good and
strong. A prominent Ninth Dis
trict Republican accompanied
two Newport men to the place.
who brought a satchel full of
money with them. All efforts to
see the color of the Goebel mon
ey failed, and the crowd left in
disgust.
AT the Boston saloon some be-
lever in Taylor's success has
placed a commission for SO, 900 of
Goebel money at even price. No
odds are asked.
AT Schneider's, Sixth and Mar
ket, there is another heavy bunch
ofmoney waiting for a Goebel
man to come along.
So far thdre have been no bona
fide' bets of any money on Goe-
bel reported and no Gaebelite
has been bothering anyone with
Taylor money to get a bet.

SINCE the beginning of the Re-

feat of Goebel and the repeal of
