ASSEMBLING AT LONDON.
session of Legislature WIN BE Held
There Today.

London, February 5.--The fact that
there was not the slightest display OF anil
mostly among the citizens OF London
| when it became certainty today that
| the legislature was to convene here and
that the twenty five legislative members
who arrived In the afternoon were met by
a welcoming crowd at the station, can
safely be taken as an assurance that nc
op position will be manifested when the
session begins tomorrow. There Is but
one Democratic member here. Senator
Hayes from jefferson county and he is OF
the anti-Goebel following. Altogether
twenty seven representatives and nine
senators have arrived. There will be one
more train by tomorrow noon and pos
stble the numter may be Increased.
"Why we are more than anxious for the
Demoora to come Just to show them
that they have no cause for fear and that
they will bs perfectly free from trouble OF
any kind" was the concensus Of the re-
marks made on every hand. The COM
pany OF militia from Earboursvtlls stood
at attention before the Laurel county
seminary building, the London home OF
the legislature when the members walked
past from the railroad station to the
notels. The presence Of the soldiers did
not provoke comment. but was plaoidly
acce pied as a part OF the regular legisia-
tive programme. A caucus was to have
been held at four O'Clock but owing to
the fatigue from travel, It was decided to
postpone the hour until seven O'Clock.
The town has been filed with noun
taineers all day. partly owing to the fact
that the Laurel county oircuit court be-
gan its winter term today bat more es-
peoially because ''oourt day" Is the regu-
lar day for the mountAineers to come to
town to "swap horses and make pur-
chasss.
The mountaineers are rs anxious as are
London citizens that they be given an op
portunity to show that no trouble will
ensue from them, A telegram from GOV.
TAYLOR stating that the Legislature would
convene tomorrow, gave every body the
greatest satisfaction. The rumor that
company ID, of she state militia at Bar
boursyiils, would arrive tonight proved
upfoundsd and London is watched over
BY the one company Of Barbourssille
guards and Its lone policeman.

LOUISVILLE CONFERENCE.
DinicuIties Ina the Way OF an Agree
ment.

Louisville, February 5.-A conference
between accredited representatives OF the
two states governments was held here to-
night as q step toward bringing about q
pea oeable settlement of the political situa-
tion. After four hours OF preliminary
talk, the conference adjourned ct nine
O'Clock for one hour Up to that time
very satisfactory progress had been made,
considering the utter estrangement OF the
factions and the seemingly irreconoilable
differences in their contentious on the
most important points at Issue. IL soon
became evident that the meeting could
not deal with the question Of q transfsr
of state offices or even with the respective
claims to these positions. All 1t could
hope to accomplish was the removal OF
some obstacles that stand In the way OF
securing an adjudication OF these ques-
tions by some tribunal upon which the
principles can agree. The Democrats az
first were inclined to press their demands
to the limit, requiring the withdrawal Of
troops from the state buildings at Drank
fort, the recognition Of Beokham as gor-
ernor without further action Ly the legis-
lature, on the reports OF contests boards
by which Gosbsl aud Beckham wsre ds-
clared to have been elected after which
the main points In the controversy were
to be adjudicated by due process Of Law.
The Republicans snow no disposition to
make suoh extreme concession. They
have elected to stand on the legality Of
Gov. Taylor's proclamation though the
abatement to some extent OF the
belligerency Of the authorities at Frank
for, was reflected In their arguments.

When, a young man he engaged in.
planting and the greater portion of
his useful life was spent. in farming
He was known as a hard working,
Industrious and economical CITIZEN;
but the small sugar planter has had
an upstream current to pail against,
and few there are whose years 2of
labor and enconomy are crowned
with any better results than a COM
Portable living. The deceased was a
good son, a kind and c~onsiderate hus-
band, and a loving father. His happy
home life gave an insight into the
true character of the man, as itshone
in the family circle. H.
Phe deceased was d member of the
Catholic Knights of America and ear
ried $1,000 inspraf in that order.
He also. carried $4,000 Insurance. in
