LOCATION OF GRAVE
The grave to which Gov. Goebers re-
mains may be consigned tomorrow and
the point at which the monument to his
memory Is to be erected was selected
by his relatives and friends yesterday.
1t was decided early this morning when
everything indicated bright sunshiny
weather to have the interment take
place today and the grave was prepared
accordingly, but the pouring rain inter-
fered and the body, closely guarded, will
be allowed to remain in the chapel until
the weather conditions are more favora-
BILE.
The grave is located about half way
between the Kentucky soldiers monu-
ment and the cemetery chapel just over
the slope Of the hill, north of the Con-
federate monument, and near an i'm
mense oak tree, whose branches stretch
far over the mound of earth which will
mark the Democratic leaders, resting
place.
On a section of ground to the north
of the grave were grouped the floral Of
ferings, tributes from all over the state
to Gov. GoebePs memory.
Around the freshly thrown up clay and
open grave was gathered a throng of
several thousand people, who waited pa
tiently for hours, in the midst Of the
doWnpour, for the funeral cortege to ap-
pear. For half an hour before the long
procession reached the cemetery the rain
came down in perfect deluge and,
blown in sheets by fitful south wind,
drenched everyone to the skin. But
through it all they waited, and when
finally the hearse stopped at the walk,
leading to the chapel the thousands pres
ent stood silent and reverent as the pail
bearers slowly carried the casket to the
porch of the little chapel. The rain was
coming down heavily at the time, and,
after hasty consultation, it was decid-
ed to postpone the burial, and conduct
the ceremonies from the steps of the
chapel. Every one moved toward the
chapel, and in two minutes the little
building was surrounded by a closely
packed throng. As the casket was placed
on the supports on the porch of the
chapel, quartette sang 'It Is Well With
My Soul" every one standing with un-
covered heads as the beautiful words Of
the song were heard through the storm.

Rev. William Stanley, of Virginia,
standing over the caslzet, then delivered a
short prayer. This was followed by the
Thee" Rev. T. N. Arnold, an old and
Intimate friend Of Gov. Goebel, spoke

foe -ar failed to defend friend should
fall at the hand of an assassin.
Senator Joe Blackburn was then intro
duced. There was much confusion when
the white-haired senator stepped forward,
and he was finally compelled to stand on
table so that the throng might see him.
AS the stentorian voice Of Senator
Blackburn rang out in his denunciation of
the shooting of Gov. Goebel, and as he
stated that ut was not the work of a
crank or a crazed assassin murmurs OF

the closely packed crowd, while tears
stood in the eyes of many of the men
within the hearing of his voice.
