placed under arrest more because he
was caught around the capitol build
ing when the shots were fired than
for any other apparent reason. He
denies in the most positive manner
that he had any connection with the
shooting or knew anything about it.
Senator Goebel was wounded by
a rifle ball of small calibre, not over
50, which struck him in the right
side just below the armpit. The ball
passed through the back part sof the
right lung, across the body on a tii-
agonal line, passing out below the
left shoulder blade.
AS the shot was heard, GoebeI gave
quick, involuntary exclamation of
pain and made an effort to draw / is
revolver. His strength was unable
to the task, however, and he sank
upon the pavement. With great ra-
pidity several more shots were fired,
the bullets all striking the brick
sidewalk close to where Goebel lay.
None of them touched him, however.
That the shooting Of Mr.. Goebe1
was the result of carefu1ly-laid plan
is without question. The man who
did the work had evidently taken his
SUdnO dC GnO W1uOOW WHICH ndu pTSN1-
ously been raised in order to allow
the free passage of the bullet, and
waited until his victim was in full
sight before firing. Ever since the
influx of mountaineers last week a
large number of them have been
sleeping in upper part of the state
house. It is not known, however,
that any of these men did the work,
or that they had any knowledge of
the premeditated crime. There has
not, so far, been discovered the slight
est direct evidence pointing to any
man and it IS not likely now that any
will ever be found. The republican
state officials and members of leg
islature, without exception, denounced
the shooting in the most unmeasured
terms. Gov. Taylor imediately caused
a small address to be published in
which he declared the affair to be a
disgrace and an outrage and calling
for the most sober condemnation.
GoebeI Declared Elected
Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 31.-Whi1e Will

test for the governors chair, declared
him entitled to the seat

Closing the Mills.

The American Manufacturer says
editorially:
Many of the iron and steel mills,
furnaces, etc., will close down July l,
Not because of any sentiment or pity
for the laboring man, who Is asked to
give up the best he possesses in heat
as we'll as in cold, but becaue it in
wolves a financial transaction. The
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin-Plate Workers has fre-
quently broached the subject of clos
ing all union plants from six weeks to
two months in the middd of the year.
The object being two-fold: to restrict
to work the mills that many days
during the colder portion Of the year
to compensate for the time lost; the
second object to be obtained being to
rest the men, who can lily afford to
give up their strength at heating fur
naces and rolls confronted with glar-
ing metal when persons seated in
cool and shady hooks do not find life
endurable.
"The objects OF both are worthy
and wise. The majority of the mills in
the country must close certain periods
Of the year for repairs Why not
make these repairs in midsummer?
1t has been demonstrated in glass
making plants that the summer shut
down is desirable, and in many cases
profitable. There has been some clam
oring to have the system Obrogated.
Ii has not been successful. The work
men have tasted Of the sweets of sum-
mer idleness and refuse to return to
the former practice. If the steel and
iron workers can bring about a SINH
lar closlng-up process during the heat
ed term, it would prolong life, in
crease the comforts of a majority of
the workers and would benefit the
manufacturer. 1t would give him
time to plan for the coming season,
would give him a vacation when he
would be certain that nothing would
worry him while enjoying it. and he
could arrange matters so that the clos
ing OF his plant would not be drag
on his resources, such as an occasional
shut down for the want of orders
brings about. The summer shut down
would undoubtedly benefit everyone
concerned, but to bring it about is an
other question, as the manufacturers
will not work in unison where a ques-
ton OF partial gain to anyone Is con-
cerned."

An AGED CeIebrant.

In an Ohio celebration yesterday of
the Fourth of July, there rode in a
carriage in the parade the oldest Re
publican voter of the state, II not of
the nation, near the mouth of Bull
skin creek, forty miles above .Cincin-
natl. The people of that tobacco
raising region celebrated the one hum
dred and twenty-fourth natal anniver-
sary of the United States, and their
chief guest of honor was Claibourne
jackson, born on April 26, 1888, four
days before Washington's inaugura-
tlon as president. This old patriarch,
who is on the second decade above the
century mark, was born near Alexan-
dria, Va, then the chief town of the
Old Dominion, and was the son of a
revolutionary soldier in The Virginia
line in the continental establishment,
and is an uncle of Stonewall jackson,
the Confederate commander who fell
in the civil war.
This centenarian was 10 years old
when Washington died, and he attend
ed the funeral of that great soldier De-
cember, 1899 The obsequies were in
very cold weather with deep snow
upon the ground and the attendance of
people was small owing to the severity
of the weather, and the then want of
communication and travelling facili-
ties. This venerable old patriot says
he lived only eight miles from the
Washington estates, and often saw
the first president riding around on his
favorite horse, and his last sigm of
him was only a week before his death,
which came from his riding about over
the farm in binding snowstorm.-
