penses of II commission to be appoint,
ell by the Governor to ascertain anc
to mark the spots occupied by Ohio
troops in the battle of Shiloh wan
passedand is now a law. The debate
which preceded the passage Of the bill
gave evidence that the patriotism Of
the law maker is great and that his
cloqucnce Is mighty.
In the Senate almost three hours
We're spent in II senselcss wrangle
over wrctchcd little bill prohibiting
n bond issue for certain improvements
in the little city of Troy. Several Tro.
jams appeared during the recess anc
abused one another roundly In disput,
ing the question rs to whether the
bill should be passed. II their state
ments may be believed, there are not
more than two or three honest men
in the whole fair city OF Troy Some
of the senators We're. amused by the
arguments and the personalities, buf
most of them were disgusted and
voted against the bill merely TO put
It out of the way forever.
A considerable number OF bills was
introduced in the Senate but none, i
OF especial Importance.

from their homes absolutely destitute,

how q commander who has led his

SENATOR G0EBEL SHOT,
Wound 10 Serious, But Not Neces.

''l .r- SdTlIy EataI.
FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. al.-Senator
Goebel was shot ard seriously wounded
yesterday: The shooting was done by
q man at present unknown. Goeba
was walking up the sidewalk leading
to the senate when man in the second
story of building Immediately to tho
east ;of the capitol fred upon him.
Five shots were fred, when Goebcl
fell. He was at once carried to thu
Capitol hotel. The widest excite.
ment was at once created. Within ten
minutes after Goebel had been shot the
streets were filed with men carrying
rifles and revolvers. A guard was in.
stantly thrown around the building
from which the shots were fred to
prevent the escape of the assassin.
"They have assassinated Goebel," was
shouted into the door of the house OF
representatives an instant after the
shots rang out. Members rushed pe.l-
nell over one another down the streets
to the front of the building, coatless
and hatless. In five minutes hundreds
poure ID into the state house yard and
it looked as if riot would result
Cooler heads advised surrounding the
building from which the shots came,
and in less than three minutes fifty
special police surrounded it and a de-
tail began a search of the interior for
the assassin. Finally John Whit
taker, farmer Of Butler county, was
arrested on the charge of shooting
Goebel. Goebel is not fatally hurt.
The ball struck him in the right side
and passed through his body, coming
out below the shoulder blade
As soon as it was known that the
bullet which struck down Mr. Goebel
had come from the building to the
east group of men gathered in front
Of the doors to prevent the escape of
people in it. Several men attempted
to enter the doors from the outside,
but were prevented by groups of
mountaineers, some of whom held
Winchesters in their hands and pre-
sented an aspect so generally uninvit-
ing that no attempt was made to search
the building and nobody gained an
entrance to it for several minutes after
the shooting had been done and the
assassin had had ample opportunity to
escape. That the shooting of Mr..
Gocbel was the result Of a carefully
laid plan is without question. 1t is
not believed that Whitaker is guilty.
The physicians announce that they
are unable to stop the internal hemor-
rhages and that death will probably
result. The militia has been called
out and is in absolute control OF tho
situation,
