The speaker turned around, aS1, stand
ing upon the top step, he said:
1--WE came here to meet as members OF
the legislature of the state Of Kentucky.
We are denied admission to the building
and are repealed by force. do now de-
clare this session Of the legislature ad-
Journed, and 1t will meet subject to my
CALL
Down the steps went the speaker. and
behind him followed the crowd. There
was no sign of disturbance throughout
the incident, everything being conducted
In an orderly and dignified manner by the
legislators. The .snpromtu members were
not so mindful Of the dignity of their
high calling and were inclined to make
facetious remarks at the soldiers.
There Is very little heard now about
London. ard there seems to be general
feeling among the Democrats and Re-
pubIicans alike that the next regular
meeting OF the legislature viii be held in
the capitol building There has been no
announcement of any intention on the
part of Gov. Taylor. but 1t seems to nave
become tacit belief that he will rescind
his action of yesterday before the time
set for the meeting.
ASSASSINATION THREATENED.
Anonymous letters threatening assas-
sination are going through the mails IN
considerable numbers. They have been
received by the democratic attorneys. by
the Republican attorneys and by every
judge of the court Of appeals They are
all practically of one nature, informing
the recipient that unless he mends the
. l. oa will no
down. Occasionally somebody threat
ems to stab but the general trend OF as
sassination sentiment seems to run To-
ward gunpowder.
Ex-Goy. Bradley's house is guarded
night and day by soldiers, and even the
inside blinds ON the fourth floor are Kept
closed to prevent anybody from being
able to fire through the windows with ac-
curacy.
NO QUORUM PRESENT.
At o'clock Speaker Trimble posted

ing members of the house to meet In one
Of the hotel parlors. Forty-four MEM
bers only were present, and this being
no quorum an adjournment was taken.
The meeting was not originally intend
ed as much for business purposes as to
serve notice on the military that the leg
The notice was posted In ample time to
have allowed the soldiers to prevent the
gathering.
The senate also held short conference
and nominated Senator Carter, Of Ander-
son county, to be president pro tenn. OF
the senate, position heretofore held by
Goebel.
MAN WHO SHOT GoEBEL.
An officer of the Covington police force
has a clue to the assassin Of Goebel,
which he is quietly working. The officer
arrived here soon after the shooting. and
was told by a certain member of the
house that he was standing adjacent ID
the state house yard, and Immediately
after the shooting saw two men running
swiftly from the rear of the executive
building from whence the shots were
fired. The member told the officer he did
not want his name mentioned at the pres
ent time.
But if there are any arrests made. and
when 1t gets into court, l will be there,
and ready to testify. and l think my tes-
timony will be substantial enough to
place the crime where it belongs.
The officer positively refused TO give the
legislators name.
LEGAL STEPS NEXT.
Important legal action will probably be
instituted against Gov. Taylor tomorrow
with the object of compelling him to
give up his Office. The Democratic at
torneys have already prepared the pa
pers In the case, but are guarding them
tonight with the greatest secrecy. 1t is
not certain that action will be taken to-
morrow, some of the lawyers being Of the
opinion that it would be better to wait
day or two. .:g.. ~ $50
The proceedings are expected to be in
the nature of a writ of mandarnus. de-
handing that he vacate the ONCE Oh
governor. 1t Is practically certain that
Gov. Taylor will pay no attention to any
process from the state courts.
MORE TROUBLE IN SIGHT.
The legislature will tomorrow take ac-
tive steps to prevent Gov. Taylor from
interfering with any session, if they de-
sire to hold it, in the legislative cham
bers. Papers have been prepared, and
tomorrow morning an injunction will be
asked from Judge Cantrill, of the fiscal
court, restraining Gov Taylor from inter-
fering in any way with the proceedings
of the legislature. Gov. Taylor has an
nounced before this that he would pay
no attention to the orders of the fiscal
court The probabilities are that some
trouble will ensue.
