William Goebel. leader Of the Demo-
cratic party OF Kentucky and its cam
didate for governor at the last elec-
ton. who was shot and fatally injured
at Frankfort. KY, yesterday, was born
at Carbondale and has relatives resid-
ing in that city. There are many for
mer residents Of Carbondale now In
Scranton who remember the Goebel
family.
Goebel's father was Frederick Goebel,
a native of Hanover, Germany. He
was a carpenter and Joiner by trade,
but was also musician and for sew
eral years was the leader of the only
brass band that Carbondale could boast
of at the time. John Murran Is now
the only resident Of Carbondale who
was a member Of that band.
About the year 1860, when William
was only few years old, the family
moved from Carbondale to Overton,
Bradford county, where they resided on
a place adjoining that of the father OF
Colonel Herman Osthaus, of this city.
The father of Colonel 0sthaus and
the senior Goebel came from the same
region in Germany, and thus the In
timacy between the two neighbors had
stronger tie. The senator's father,
during the period Of the Civil war; con-
structed house for the Osthaus FAM
ily Afterward he removed to Coving-
ton, KY, where he engaged In the meat
business.
The Goebels have been residents OF
Kentucky since. There was no indica-
tion in the senator's youth that he
would achieve the prominence which
| has attended his later career, but he
came from a fighting stock in one
sense, as his father and uncle had
served in the German army.
Colonel Osthaus always watched his
progress with interest, and Is OF the
| opinion that to a great degree the saw
| age attacks made upon Senator Goebel
have been malicious, as the results OF
mere factional feeling.
Colonel +. ]. Fitzsimmons remembers
the Goebels in Carbondale, and in Oc-
tober last met the senator In Louisville
while the heated campaign in which
| Goebel was one of the central figures
was at its heighth. The senator ex-
| pressed himself as not certain OF his
election and spoke with regret OF the
conditions that then existed in Ken
lucky.
He impressed the Colonel as a quiet
shrewd, determined man. Goebel was
engaged to be married to the daughter
Of Senator Blackburn, Of Kentucky.

TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS.
Mayor Signed Mr.. o'Boyls's Reso-
luton Yesterday.

Mayor Moir yesterday signed the
resolution directing the city clerk TO
advertise for bids for the electric light
ing Of the city, and Mr.. Lavelle will
proceed to advertise ut once.
Councilman O'Boyle. tho father Of the
resolution. stated yesterday that he be-
lieved when tho bids were opened II
would be found that tho city can be
lighted for one-third less than the cost
1t is paying now.
One feature Of the specifications az
called for In the resolution provides
that wires be strung fifteen inches
apart. Mr.. O'Boyle Ia especially inter-
csted regarding this inasmuch as his
son was killed last summer by falling
from an electric light pole. His death.
Mr.. O'Boyle claims, was caused by his
receiving a shock by coming in con-
tact with wires strung too closely to-
gether.

LIBRARY IS DESERTED.
It Was o Lonesome Place Yesterday.
Only q Few Callers for Books.
Many in Reading Rooms.

The Albright library was a lonesome
place Yesterday. There was an air Of
depression over everything. There was
also an air of formaldehyde. which was
equally bad, II not worse. u was a
strongly. unhealthy odor which made
the visitor desire to beat as hasty re-
treat as IL it were labeled diphtheria
or scarlet fever. No books were being
returning any.
The reading rooms were we'll filled.
and there was a succession of visitors
who asked innumerable questions and
who seemed to feel deeply afflicted be-
cause they were not to be allowed to
carry away books.
How on earth shall ever study up
my subject for Chautauqua tonight?'
asked one girl in dismay Il can't
come down here unless at o'clock in
the morning and then the library isn't
OPEN" Another patron lamented her
fate In not being able to carry home
books to relieve the tedious hours Of
an invalid aunt. and young girl i'm
plored IN attendant to let her take out
just one volume Of history, which she
needed for study.
II know 1t hasn't had the scarlet
fever" she explained earnestly, be
cause nobody wants tc read 1t but me,
and I wouldn't-if I didn't just have to
look up something for examination"
The only person who seemed to derive
a great amount Of satisfaction from the
catastrophe was small boy. who
openly expressed his hilarity at being
thus unable to write a much dreaded
composition.
The reading rooms are open as usual
but all books now and hereafter re.
ceived during the quarantine of the
circulating department will he taker
below stairs, where arrangements will
be made for fumigation.
Librarian Carr says that in his
twenty years experience in library
work never but once has such a ster
been decided upon and that was in St
Joseph, Mo-, where for period of ter
days people were forbidden to congre.
gate in churches. schools or elsewhere

assemblage and the possibility of dis.
seminating disease, rather than the
fear Of contagion through books.
The attendants find their usual occu

count of stock during the cessation o
circulation. There is no intfmation a!

A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
Horse Owned by Thomas Bayless
Made Things Hum Yesterday.

A horse attached to single wagon
owned by Thomas Bayless, a huckster.
living in Lincoln Heights, ran away
yesterday afternoon and made things
lively for few minutes. The animal
was standing in front of one of the
wholesale houses on lower Lackawan-
ma avenue, when it became startled and
dashed up the street.
After several narrow escapes from
collisions, the horse turned into Penn
avenue and near the centre of the block
was caught by Jack Phelan. The ami
NAL reared and plunged, throwing Mr..
Phelan to the ground. The wagon
wheels passed over his body, but as the
wagon contained no load. he was only
badly bruised. He was attended by DR..
LOngstreet.
The horse was finally stopped at the
corner of Linden street. and Patrolman
May took 1t to Bellies livery stable.

1000 MILES FOR BIT OF SILK.
Tiny Remnant of the Flag of Illinois
"Irish Legiono-New York Man
Gives Half of it to an Old Regiments
officer.

The New York Journal of August
18th says:
For the purpose of receiving a tiny
bit of faded green silk, a of
a flag that had led thousands to VIC
tory, Major Daniel O'Connor travelled
from Chicago and arrived in New
York yesterday. This bit of silk, bare
ly two inches square, is all that is left
of the flag of the Ninetieth Illinois
voluntee infantry-the Irish Legion.
1t waved in tWenty-seVen different en-
gagements in the civil war.
THE flag, an emerald green one, was
shot to pieces before the war ended,
and but a small piece was saved.
This bit has been in the possession Of
Colonel t. E. Lonergan, who has an
office in the Bennett building, since
the surrender at AppomattoX, and
when the few surviving veterans Of
the Irish Legion were informed that
Col. Lonergan possessed the remnant
they petitioned him to present it to
their club. Colonel 1onergan replied
that he would be glad to let them have
half of the piece he possessed. On re-
ceipt of this communication the sur
viving veterans dispatched the senior
surviving officer of the legion, Major
O'Connor, to receive the trophy.
ON his arrival Major OConnor
went direct to Colonel Lonergan's Of
flee, where in the presence of a a
dozen war veterans he was handed the
tiny bit OF faded green silk.

commanding presence, is a brother of

TO BEE OR NOT TO BEE.
Bundle Bees Bring About a Queer
situation of AffaIrs-They Take Pos
session of Powder House and Can't

The Brunswick Bridge and Ferry
Company has a powder house on
Eagles Island, across the Cape Fear,
opposite the city, and it has a con-
tract 10 store powder for Messrs. J.
w. Murchison & Co. When that COM
pany receives a shipment of powder
the Ferry Company takes il to the
powder house and is under contract TO
deliver ii as Messrs. Murchison & Co.
send over their orders for il.
I Yesterday Messrs. Murchison & Co.
sent over an order and n Ferry
Company made every effort TO get out
the powder, but after several efforts
the job was given up. A swarm of
humble bees had built their lest in
the powder house, n they made il
warm for everybody that approached.
Three men were badly stung. and at
last accounts the bees were in posses
sion.
The Ferry Company, or which Colo
mel Walker Taylor is manager, would
like for some TO suggest a plan for
getting rid of the bees. OF course,
they can't be smoked out, and as there
is no water around the powder house
the hose can't be turned on them. 1t
is a p~erplexing problem, and if any
one can solve it Colonel Taylor will be
Obliged.
