THE KENTUCKY TROUBLES.
Alleged Confession Of Golden Gre
ated Sensation in Frankfort.
Attorneys Will Not Talk.

Frankfort, Ky, March 19.-The
news of the alleged confession OF
F. Wharton Golden of Barbours-
vile, in regard to the assassination
of William Geobel, produced a
sensation here today. Golden was
formerly guard at the peniten-
tiary here under the republican
administration, aud is we'll known.
1t developed that the police and
detectives have been watching his
movements since the day of the
assassination on the theory that
he knew something about It. Com
monwealth's Attorney Franklin and
County Attorney Poisgrove decline
to discuss the alleged confession,
as did others who are assisting in
the prosecution, though one went
so far as to say Mr.. Golden will
be one of the most important wit
nesses introduced by the state
Some regret that this matter be-
came public so soon, as they fear
it Will not only make it dangerous
for him TO return to his home at
BarbourSville, and that it will also
seriously impede the prosecution
in work which has been going on
fer several weeks, and might have
led to other developments soon.
Caleb Powers, the republican sec
rotary of state, who is in jail
charged with being an accessory
to the assassin. and who is alleged
to be implicated by Golden, refus-
ed to discuss the confession story
in any form.

TEE republican congressional
convention for this district did not
nominate a candidate, bat it was
not for lack of takers that the nom
ination was not offered. If re-
port be true, j. w. burst, the well
known young Corpus Christian,
would not be averse to becoming
his party's nominee for the race,
while B. l.. Crouch of Pearsall has
openly acknowledged that "BarkiS
is willin. 3" Judge j. o. Luby of
San Diego is also prominently
mentioned" as a possible candidate
and even Laredo is thought to be
grooming a dark horse in the per-
son Of Col. Calvin Brewster. In
fact, the chaparral in the eleventh
district has enough congressional
aspirants scattered through Its
thorny shades to make it trife
dangerous to go cunning promis-
cuously in this region. There are
hone, however, that are likely TO
come anywhere near Rudolph Kle-
berg IN the race.

WAS A GREAT SURPRISE.

Ban louisville, Ky, March 80
The report that F. Wharton Golden
had turned states evidence in the
Goebel murder ease was a great
surprise here. Green Golden, cons
in Of Wharton, says it was utterly
false that he was sent by Secretary
Of State Powers to keep Wharton
from going to Frankfort. f. ".
Golden was close friend Of Caleb
Powers, doing great deal Of
work for him during the recent
campaign. It is understood that
he left here on receipt ola telegram
from the attorneys for the prose
cation to come to Lexington.
" hen the news reached here that
be had made confession, friends
OF the accused party became very
uneasy. 1t IS learned that ex-Rep-
resentative Berry Howard and T.
VI. Cecil OF MiddIesboro were here
Saturday night in consultation
with Golden. Cecil was sergeant
at arms at the session of the legis.
lature at London.

OSMAN PASHA IS DEAD.
He Was One of the Greatest Gen
erals that Turkey Ever Had.

New York. March 20.-A dis
patch from ConS5antinople an
nounces the death of OSlnan Pasha,
the hero of Plevna and the great
est Turkish soldier Of recent times.
He was 68 years old. His defense
! Of Plevna against an overwhelming
Russian force 1876 gave Osman
enormous prestige. By the in
trenchments he caused to be thrown
up, he arrested for months the ad-
vance of the Russians. In three
pitched battles he Overcame the
finest troops of the cars armies.
On July l, 1874, he inflicted Il loss
Of 5000 killed and wounded on his
assailants. The next battle cost the
Russians 107 officers and 1885 men
and the third, the stubborn assault
of Skobeloff later on, when the
Russian Grenadiers got within 500
yards of the trenches bnt failed to
pass the fatal fire zone, ended in a
Russian loss of from $4,000 to 20.
900.
1t was resolved to starve out the
army of OSman, which originally
numbered $4,000 men, and an ar
my of 10000 Russians completed
the investment.
At length, forty-five days after
the close siege had been establish
ed and IA days after his own ar
rival at Plevna, Osman determined
on a desperate attempt to cut his
way through. The struggle was of
the fercest sort, but many hours
bayonet fighting ended in the
Turks being driven back, and the
defender Of Plevua" surrendered
with the honors of war.
When the Sultan learned of the
death OF the famous general, be
exclaimed: "AlIah is unmerciful.
He has deprived me of my honest,
{rue friend and most valiant sup
potter"

TEE Texas antitrust law having
stood the test of the United States

the trusts to comply with that law.
The custom of the big state is ex-

ture can prevent its being parcel

THE FREIGHT MOVEMENT
HEAVY TONNAGE MOVING AND CAR
RIED AT REMUNERATIvE RATES.
Relations of the Big Four and the
Peoria a Eastern-Bfg Earnings
of the Panhandle Lines.

While the tonnage handled by Indianapo-
lis lines in the week ending April q was
somewhat lighter than in the preceding
week 1t was above the usual average, un-
less rates were demoralized, as was the
case in April and May, 1898. Last week
there were received and forwarded at In
dianapolis total of q. 1856 cars. 20.7o9 being
loaded, an increase over the corresponding
week of 1899 Of AS and the exhibit would
be even more favorable IL the cars desired
on certain lines could be furnished. For
furniture. refrigerator and coal cars there
is heavy demand. So many new cars
are being delivered from day to day that
the demand for grain cars Is we'll met.
and. in fact. for the higher classes of
freight are quite readily furnished. Those
informed in the matter state that there
never before has been such a demand for
cars to carry coal. ore iron structural
work and lumber, which Is due to the un-
precedented prosperity in all sections Of
the country. While east-bound shipments
of all classes of freight average well with
former years, west-bound tonnage is in ex-
cess of all previous volumes, and this re-
mark applies to both high and low-class
freights, and transcontinental line business
I'm both directions is seldom heavy as at
present. Local business with all lines is at
the maximum. At the city freight depots
forces have been increased, and working
overtime Is Of almost daily occurrence.
This is the more surprising from the fact
that the system Of bulk tracks has been
largely extended the past year, relieving
the city freight depots of much of the
heavier articles shipped, and on private
switches more cars are being handled than
at any time in many years. Freight off,
Gals say that the best feature of the rail-
road situation is that tariff rates are MAIN

sis. The table below shows the number of
loaded cars handled at this point for the
week ending April q, and for the corre-
spending weeks of 1899 and 1898:

The Peoria & Eastern.

New York Commercial Advertiser
We have been asked for statement as
to the condition of this property. The road
extends from Springfield. o., through In
dianapolis. Ind, to Pekin, ILL.,, distance
of 342 miles, with ten miles of trackage
between Pekin and Peoria. OF the capital
stock Of 5000 one-half is owned by the
Big Four. The Peoria & Eastern is leased
to the Big Four system for fifty years
from 1890. and until lately interest in its
affairs is conferred chiefly in the amount
of the advances made to it by the lessee,
because of construction accounts and def
cts in operations. The Peoria & East
and recently the company has shown
symptoms Of possible ability to stand
alone. The accumulated losses Of a decade
will have to be repaid to the Cleveland.
Cincinnati, Chicago & st. Louis before
profits will accrue to the shareholders.
To go no further back than 1897, the
Peoria q Eastern in that year did not earn
enough by S9S00O to pay the charges as
sumed by the Big Four.
The Big FourS advances to the Peoria
& Eastern prior to June go 1897, amounted
all told to 81. 1863 900. In 1898 the subsidiary
line did better than previously coming out
with surplus of $4,000. as against the def
cit Of SOS. 600 the year before. OF this
amount $1,000 seems to have to have been
turned over to the Cleveland. Gin.
cinnati. Chicago & st. Louis. as
its advances on June 3O 1898,
stood at only 81. So, 900. The Peoria e. East
ern's surplus in 1899 was $4,000. Returns
of this company's business the present
year have been published irregularly, but
in the first six months gross earnings in
creased Is per cent. and net earnings 63
per cent. over 1899
Another item of Importance to the Big
Four In this connection was the maturing
on Jan. l last of 81. 0O0. 900 of Peoria & East
ern's per cent. bonds. These were ex-
tended at per cent. and in connection
with this transaction a considerable
amount of securities in the Peoria & East
ern treasury was released and turned over
TO the Cleveland, Cinninnati, Chicago &
st. Louis, thus reducing the Peoria e.
Eastern debt by s206.000. That part of this
indebtedness carried loan account
stood in the last balance sheet of the
Big Four at $4,000. and this is an official
statement of the expectation of the man
agement Of that company. 1t is hoped
that the Peoria & Eastern can pay out
this balance in few years. Its property
