G0EBEL DIED
SATURDAY, NIGHT.
BEGAN TO SINK IN THE AFTERNOON
AND NEVER RALLIED.
Fight Coos On-BOth Sides Appeal To tho
Court-Washington Thinks Taylor
Must Submit.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. Ex-senator Goo
bel died this evening at 1887 o'clock.
Early in the afternoon it was seen that
death was only matter of short
time. Judge Pryor wired Judge Red
wine at $3.50 o'clock that he could not
live an hour and that there was no
earthly hope. Justus Goebcl, the sem
ator's brother, arrived in the after
noon. He came out of the chamber
later weeping bitterly.
Gocbel suffered II relapse shortly af-
ter o'clock, and did nos respond to
the remedies failing to rally. His
stomach was the great trouble. The
morning no was shot he was sick at his
hotel and went to the State house with
out breakfast. Hc has had practically
no nourishmcut since.
Judge Cantrcll issued an Injunction
today against Taylor and General Col
lier a hearing on II motion to make
the in Junction permanent will be had
before Judge Cantrcll on the 9th at
Georgetown. If the democratic lcGis-
lators arc refused admission to the
State house on Monday, Taylor and
Collier will bc considered in contempt
of court. Tho democrats will come
buck to Frankfort on Monday. The
republicans will assemble at London.
No effort will be made to secure per-
sonal service on Taylor. The Judge
directed that his order be allowed to
In hi ,,i Z L.,
OF the danger threatening any ono who
should undertake the task and the re-
suits that might cnsuc owing to the
state Of the public mind.
Speaker T"imblc said today the dem
ocratic Legislators will not obey any Or
dcrs issued by Taylor and would not 80
to London. Beckham, democratic
lieutenant governor, Is acting us gov
ernor.
Having boon refused help from the
federal government, Governor Taylor
has decided to appeal to the federal
courts. Ho will today ask Judge Evans
to issue writ OF jnj junction restraining
Goobcl from acting as governor. This
course was decided upon hero early this
morning at Il conference Of republican
attorneys. Ex-Governor Bradley will
probably lead tho argument before
Judge Evans for the desired writ. 1t
is expected that the petition will con-
tain these chief points:
Taylor undoubtedly had the ma jority
of votes in tho late election: that his
political opponents officially called up
on to pass on said election 80 decided
Any attompt of the democratic lcgisla-
turc to unscat him will be an usurpa-
tion OF power and unconstitutional.
The declaration of Goebcl's election
madc by the democratic legislators is
void as Taylor had adjourned the legis-
laturc aud legislation in the interim
was illegal. He will claim that he had
the power to adjourn the legislature rs
ho deemed an insurrection existed and
he alone was governor and Judge of
whether said insurrcction existed
Washington, D. c., Feb. 3.-Thc re-
fusal of the administration to respond
to Taylor's appeal for recognition is
said by member Of tho cabinet to moan
that Taylor will probably BE- unscatcd.
The president and cabinet regret this
as they are convinced that Taylor was
elected rightfully aud tho action of Tho
Goebel board Of control and The Gocbcl
Legislature IN declaring Goebel elected
was improper, but they realize that
thus far the kentucky legislature has
acted within its right under the law
and that interference by the federal
authority would bo wrong.
Senator Lindsay has assured the ad-
ministration that the Legislature will
proceed under the Goebel law, and
there is nothing for the government to
do but submit.
