by the fact that English cables reported
an advance OF D TO ul2 in iuturesi inns

the assassin is unknown.
Governor Taylor at once called out

been placed around the executive
officers.
Five shots were fred, but only one
took IF ct, this lodged in his Left breast
near the b eart. The fatal bullet was
fred from the third floor Of the exec
utive building. The Eve shots came
from q window.
The man who fired the shots took
the precautIon to conceal his location
Oy using smoke ess powder cartridges.
A cor of people had a full view of
he eide of the building from which
che firing was done and all of them de,
clare that not a sigu of powder smoke
was visible.
AS o as Senator Goebel fell he
vas raised by friends and carried away
20 the OapItRl Hotel, where medical
attention was given and constant
watching attended by his bedside.
As strange as il may seem the assassin
is not known. Ire shots fred came
from a position which is public, but the
asses IN WIS not seen and no clue, up
to this hour has been Obtained.
Toe people generally, especially the
the Democrats, are worked into a
frenzy of exoiten cut. The whole city
IS IN a state OF chaos and from all SEQ

Goebel was born ia Philadelphia, and
Oy the hardest 6ghuing rose to great
prominence He began az a newsboy
and at the time of his nomination for
Governor his Law practice amounted
$50 900 a year. He was unmarried, but
held the love and esteem Of women 40
we'll as men. Il was just about con-
coded that he would receive the gov
ernorshIp of the State, and would win
the contest in the Legislature.

getting the city in a thoroughly sani-
tary condition is a work Of years-ten
or fifteen, at least. It would be a real

restrictions might be imposed to ad-

would be much improved. There is no
system OF sewerage in the city, with
the exception Of a feeble attempt In
the walled city. This is Of a primitive
character and all the refuse Is carried
into the moat, which entirely sur
rounds the wall which encircles this
portion Of the city. From a certain
standpoint there is nothing more pic

vided up between themselves. They
have served notice on Yale and Yale in
turn has employed legal counsel de-
termined to leave no stone unturned
in her efforts to retain possession of
the collection which ~rightfully belongs
to her. Prof. Marsh was one Of the
most celebrated instructors of the
many who have figured in the history
of Yale university. He was born in
Lockport, N. Y, Oct. 20, 1881; and was
the nephew of the late George Pea
body, the banker and philanthropist,
from whom he received most of the
wealth which permitted him to com
plete bis education and found the Pea
body museum. The original gift for
this purpose amounted to $3.50, 900.
This has developed into what it was
intended 1t should be, viz, a school of
original research, as well as one of in
struction. Prof. Marsh was fitted for
college at Phillips academy at An
dover, Mass, where he prepared to en-
ter Yale, and graduated with the class
Of 1860. He renewed his studies at the
Schefield Scientific school, where he
sought to prepare himself for the high
er studies In natural history. He paid
particular attention to m~ineralogy and
geology which he intended to mike his
ne work. While on an exploring trip
In Nova Scotia he discovered an im-
portant fossil reptile. His ~reconstruc-
ton and description Of 1t gave him
positive rank among scientists. This
discovery determined Prof. Marsh to
make paleontology his speciality, so
he renewed his studies in the univer-
stiles at Berlin. Heidelberg and Bres-
lau. He spent much time during the
vacation periods exploring the Alps
and making researches in different
parts Of Germany. In 1866 he returned
to the United States, where at Yale
university the chair of paleontology,
the first Of its kind, was established.
From this time on Prof. Marsh de-
voted a great deal of time to work OF
exploration in the far western part Of
the country, especially the Rocky
mountain region. The first trip to the
Rockies was made in 1868, and result
ed In many important discoveries in
his line Of work. This trip was fol-
lowed by others at frequent intervals,
and parts of the Rocky mountains and
foothills were traversed which had
never before been visited by white
men. So far into the forests and noun
tains did these little parties penetrate
that on most occasions a strong escort
from the regular army was necessary
to protect them from the Indians. The
remarkable collection produced as a re-
suit of these researches, not alone in
the west, but in all parts Of the coun-
try, are stored in New Haven. These
works have been examined in part by
Prot. Huxley and Darwin, the latter
believing that some gave the strongest
kind Of evidence in support of his the
cries on evolution. Prof. Marsh took
many honors, both In this country and
abroad, and at the time Of his death
last spring held important Offices in
most Of the leading scientific associa-
tons in the United States and conti-
mental Europe.
