TROOPS ORDERED HOME.

Orders were at once issued to General
Golfer TO prepare for the departure OIL
ta> troops. and in N very short Tune a
large number of them were ready 10
leave Six companies left tonight. more
VIII leave tomorrow. and only small
detachment Will remain by Monday morn
ing These will he retained only as a
peace guard, and will in no way be OBJ
truded upon the presence of the Legisla-
ture.
Word was at once sent to the members
of the Republican Legislature. now in
session at London. that the next session
would be in Frankfort, and a pTOpmt re-
ply was received to the effect that they
would leave in a body on Sunday. and
be in Frankfort Monday morning in
ample time for business.
After Governor Taylor had left the
haIl, q resolution embodying the sense of
the meeting was adopted, as follows:
Resolved. That it be the sense Of this
meeting that Governor Taylor should
not sign the agreement referred to him
by the Louisville conference, and reDos-
ing confidence in his ability and sense
of duty. we are content to follow his
leadership after that refusal"
BEFORE THE COURTS.
After the adjournment Of the meeting
1t was the opinion OF the iepuDncanS
that the Gubernatorial cont test was prac-
tically over. They understood the action
of to-day to mean, and it was intended
TO mean, that the matter should now be
fought out before the courts and the is
sue there received to be accepted as final.
There was no intention of asking that 4
new vote should be taken on the Goebel-
TAYLOR contest, but Governor Taylor
stated 10 several prominent Republicans
that he would ask that any former ac-
ton be ratified by a vote of both houses,
taken coolly and without passion.
When informed of the action of the
Democratic Legislature at Louisville in
refusing to return to Frankfort, Governor
TAYLOR said:
1T strikes me that their attitude is
somewhat inconsistent.
.They claim they cannot be protected
at Frankfort. and there is nobody here
to modest them. They objected TO the
presence Of troops at a time when there
was far greater excitement and danger
than now. After things have Quoted
down they refuse to return because they
say they cannot be guaranteed protec-
ton
The action of Governor Taylor to-day
returns the Gubc1natorial fight to the
exact position it occupied on the day fol-
lowing the Goebel assassination. with the
additional complication that there was
but one Legislature and one Governor:
in fact whereas there are now two
claimants for the position and two sepa-
rate bodies. each claiming to be the law
making power Of kentucky.

adorned with bronze medalions Of exquisite
workmanship. The monastery of San Fran
cisco covered acres of ground and at one
time sheltered within its walls as many as
5000 people.

Carriages rolled through the streets Of the
city as in Madrid, but never was there
more unholy city or a more unlucky site
for one selected. The poor Indian poems
were driven as beasts of burden to their
daily tasks, while the civil authorities quar-
relied over their populations. and the masses
of the people suffered all the indignities Of
slavery. And all this in spite of the dire
calamities and disorders which fell upon
the city from time to time as registered by
the old historians Of Guatemala.
In 1868 a mysterious epidemic, attended
with violent bleeding of the nose, swept
away great numbers of the people. There
were many severe shocks Of earthquakes
felt at periods following. In 1881 the peo-
pie were greatly alarmed by an eruption Of
the active volcano, and so great was the

quantity of the ashes thrown out and
spread in the air that the sun was entirely
obscured, and artificial light was necessary
in the city at midday.
The years 1885 and 1886 are recorded as
being dreadful in the extreme. The begin
ming of the year was ushered in with earth
quakes which continued throughout that
and the following year so frequently that
not an interval of eight days elapsed during
the whole period without a shock more or
less violent. Fire issued necessarily for
months together from the burning noun
tain. This period closed with an eruption
that destroyed great portion of the city
many Of the Inhabitants being buried in the
ruins.
In 1GO1 a pestilential distemper carried off
great numbers of the population. 1t ragged
with such malgnity that three days gener-
ally terminated the existence of such as
were affected by it.
Earthquake and Pestilence.
There appears a respite now Of half a cen
fury from these sufferings, but on the af-
ternoon Of sultry day in 1851 a most ex-
traordinary subterranean noise was heard,
and three violent shocks were felt, which
threw down many buildings and damaged
others. Masses of rock detached from the
mountains bounded down the precipitous
slopes. Wild beasts were SO terrified that
they quilted their forest retreats and sought
the habitations of man, sinking terror
stricken and terror-tnspiring through the
city streets.
The year 1885 brought with 1t another
dreadful epidemic which in three months
swept away tenth part Of the Inhabitants.
spreading from the capital to the villages
about and thence to the more remote ones.
Then comes respite of nearly thirty years,
when again the smoking mountain emits
flames, attended by continued subterranean
noises and frequent shocks, which con-
tinued at intervals for more than four
months, and finally eliminated in terrible
scene of destruction, when the great walls
of the churches were cracked like egg shells
and houses were shattered into fragments.
1t seemed that the fate of Guatemalas cap
ital was decided, but there came another
scene of delicious quiet in the valley and
plenty throughout the land. The people re-
builded and repopulated. Another fifty
years passed, and then came that final most
melancholy epoch of all, and the capital

DISCRETION of the Old City.
Scarcely had another sun risen upon the
terrible scene. however, and the dead been
dug out Of the ruins and properly buried,
when there arose a fierce controversy
whether the ruins should be abandoned and
another site selected or the city rebuilt.
The plebeians, those who had nothing more
to lose, were for removal. The city was ac-
cursed of Cod they said. He had ravaged
it with plague and poured the fires of HIS
wrath upon it. To remain in the face OF
such manifestations of Divine wrath would
the priests and friars and wealthy families
were for remaining. The municipal author
tiles led the former party and site for a
new capital was selected many miles away
on high table land surrounded by deep
ravines on the supposition that the ravines
would break any future shocks. That Is
the present city Of Guatemala.
In due time a decree came from the king
of Spain commanding the population of the
old city to remove to the new site within
one year and leave the old one totally aban-
dcned. This settled the controversy, but
SO bitter was the feeling on the part of
the aristocratic old families that rather
than contribute their wealth and influence to
the building of the new city they sought
voluntary exile in neighboring countries.
Years afterward many returned to the
homes of their fathers in the abandoned
city to find the once magnificent churches
and cathedrals despoied of all their former
splendor, and only great walls standing,
overgrown with brush and briars. The in
terror of the rOof1ess cathedral was min
iature forest of trees and dahlias. and the
empty vault, where once reposed the ashes
of the gay conquistador, Alvarado, was but
a yawning chasm.

HEAVY sOLEs TO PREVAIL.
WOmen's Shoes for the Winter Show
Little Change In Style.

From the New York Times.
The boots the woman is to wear this win
ter and perhaps before the winter in the
fall, when she needs heavy boots quite as
much, are made on the most sensible lasts
that she has used for long time. There
is certain breadth and slope down the toe
which will give her toes plenty of room to
breathe and will be comfortable. The heels
are on the style of the military, but lower,
sloping in little more and giving a pref
tier shape than the square heel. 1t is much
more attractive than the higher Cuban.

worn yet, and the extension wider, which
is style becoming to the foot. The extern
sion is SO wide on these shoes that a novice
thinks at first that they must be fencing

There is that much for comfort in the de-
terials in the shoe. AS the last has become
less masculine In actual shape. though not
IN effect so the material has been adapted
to women's use. The calf shoes, like the
tan. have to be carefully dressed and re-

the backing rubs off, and is fatal to fine
gowns. The new boots are Of a softer
leather, which is specially dressed for the
use to which 1t Is put. 1t Is what leather
men call oil tannage in preference % dry

If the woman does not have a comfortable

fault of the bcotmakers.
The lace shoe is, If anything, increasing
in popularity in these mannish shoes. There

change in the general run of boots.
For the early fall the stout Oxford or low

and broad extension. There are still tan
shoes in the shops. and tan shoes are I'M
doubtedly comfortable. They require less
treatment in dyeing and are consequently
softer, but 1t cannot be said that they are
fashionable; consequently for the woman
who wishes to wear them still they can
be had at reasonable prices.

destruction upon the wicked city, forbidding
it ever to rise again as the metropolis OF
that rich kingdom Of Guatemala.
