LACKA WANNA MEN INDICTED.
MUST STAND TRIAL IN CONNECTION
WITH FATAL WRECK IN PATTERSON
ON THANKSGIVING EVE.

Paterson n. j. Feb. . (SpeciaD.-The Grand
Jury came into the Court of Quarter Sessions
this afternoon with indictment against Of
ficals and employees of the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad charging them
with mansaughter The indictments are the
outcome of the wreck on the LaCkawanna road
near the Barclay-st. depot on Thanksgiving Eve
when seven persons were killed and thirty-fve
were seriously injured. The persons indicted
are Gould w. Catwell and william Snedeker
conductor and .fagman, respectively, of the Buff
falO express. the last two cars of which were
telescoped; John F. Riordan engineer of the
Phillipsburg accommodation train, which crashed
into the express; William G. Burritt. conductor
of the same train; Raymond Dupuy. superin-
tendent OF the Morris and Essex Division, and
b. d. Caldwell. traffic manager.
The Grand Jury has been investigating the
wreck for two weeks. and the railroad officials
have been called before ii twice The indct-
ments. however. were surprise to many.
The Indictment against Riordan is based on
the alleged reckless manner in which he per-
mitted his train TO come into Paterson. He was
aware, it is said of the proximity of the Buff
falo express, but failed to check the speed Of
his train until he rounded bend in the road too
late to avoid collision. The indictments
against Catwell and Snedeker are founded on
their alleged neglect to observe the tagging
rules. Their train had been stopped fully five
minutes. II was shown at the Coroner's inquest
but Snedeker did not go back TO flag the Phil
lpsburg express, the company orders men in
his position to do. The blame on Catweu is for
his failure 10 order Snedeker to do his duty
TrafhC Manager Caldwell and Superintendent
Dupuy are held accountable for not having in
operation a system of danger signals. At the
time of the wreck there no signal system
whatever in use. it Is charged the only proteC-
ton afforded being vested in the brakeman.
The wreck was an appalling one The Buffalo
express, which was behind time, stopped Just
beyond the station. in accordance with the rule
of the road. because a local train dscharg-
ing passengers at the station. The Phillpsburg
train was close behind. and rounding a sharp
curve crashed into the rear of the Buffalo
press The Philippsburg engine telesCOped the
rear Of the Buffalo express and drove the front
end Of the rear half way through the
ahead Of it,
one victim OF the wreck discharged only
last week from the hospital.
II learned later in the evening that T. w
Lee. general passenger agent of the Lacka-
wanna, also indicted
1t is said that just before the Grand Jury
came into court there a warm argument in
the jury room. some o. the jurymen wishing TO
kill the indictments against Du Puy, Caldwell
and Lee. This. however, was voted down.

wHITTAKERs ALLEGED CONFESSION.

Louisville Feb 2-Constable Harrod. the
officer who took Harland Whitaker. the alleged
assassin to Louisville has given out what is
regarded as evidence pointing to the accused
mans guilt. Harrod says that Whitaker. while
route to Louisville. told that he had some
So 600 at home and So in his pocket, which he
would give to be allowed to escape. The officer
also says that Whitaker contradicts the state
ment of Captain Davis. in whose company he
was found when arrested. Davis insists that
Whitaker sitting in room adjoining Gov
ernor Tayor's office when the shot that felled
Senator Goebel was fired. Constable Harrod
claims that Whitaker says he the third
floor of the building.
Whitaker positively denies that he offered
bride to the officer who brought him here from
Frankfort. He says he is worth not over $50.
and did not make the statement that he had
$4,000 at home.

I believe he is temporarily crazy There is

lieve I was convinced that Sutton was off
when I saw him get off the train at Frankfort on
the day of the shooting. Sutton approached me
and, pointing wildly at first one and then
other of his fellow passengers, asked me who
they were. I asked him what he wanted to

TO ENJOIN GOV. TAYLOR.
LEGISLATORS EFFECT A Sc
CRET SESSION-PETITION FILED
IN THE COURTS.
IN THE COURTS.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 2.-The Democratic mem
bers Of the Legislature to-day effected a regular
organization for the first time since the swear
ing in Of Goebel Governor secret session
of the members Of both houses was held in one
Of the parlors OF the Capitol Hotel, at which the
election Of William Goebel as Governor and J.
c. w. Beckham as Lieutenant Governor, was
reaffrmed first in separate sessions Of the House
and Senate and afterward in a joint session.
Preceding this action the members Of the Sen
ate elected as president pro tenn Senator Carter,
who nominated for that position at yester-
days caucus. A committee of the members OF
! the House. composed of Representatives Finn
Lafferty and Cochran was also appointed to
draw up a set of resolutions showing the condi-
ton of affairs as it exists at the State Capitol
to-day and covering thoroughly the Democratic
side of the controversy. These resolutions Will
be formally presented to the next session of the
Democratic members of the Legislature, to be
held Monday.
The session. which lasted for nearly two
hours, was kept as secret possible. for fear
of possible interference No further sessions
will be held until Monday, adjournment being
taken until that time and probably further
attempt will be made to hold sessions in the
State House.
After ratifyng their former action in regard
to the governorship and lieutenant governor
shin considerable discussion took place TO
the plan of action to be taken in regard to the
session of the Legislature called by Governor
TavIor nj London on next Tuesday. Though
none of those who attended the caucus cared to
discuss the matter it seems to be we'll under
stood among the Democratic members of the
LEGISLATURE that the session at London will be
ignored altogether by them and that no Demo
crat will attend until compelled to do So"

7 GOEBEL,s CONDITION IMPROVING.
HIS PHYSICIANS NOW EXPRESS THE HOPE
OF HIS SURE RECOVERY.


OF HIS SURE RECOVERY
Frankfort, KY. Feb. 2-The condition of Will
lam Goebel is tonight considered better than at
any time since he shot. The iron will and
the determination of the wounded man that he
VIII not die by an assassin's bullet are however
stu considered the main factors in sustaining
him. but tonight the attending physicians for
the first time hold out some hope of his ulti-
mate recovery
Goebel secured some sleep during the day
which increased his strength perceptibly and
though unfavorable symptoms showed them
selves at times. the sick man always rallied
well. Compared with twenty-four hours ago his
condition shows a decided improvement his
temperature being more nearly normal. though
some fever still shows itself. His pulse and res
piraton are still high, but his kidneys, the con-
dition of which last night was regarded as the
most unfavorable symptom. performing their
functions in more normal manner, thus OBJ
WAITING in a degree the danger of anamic
poisoning
During the day he complained somewhat of
he'd soreness, and he turned partly on his
side to relieve the strained muscles This
for a time had an unfavorable effect but he
soon rallied, and shortly afterward fell into
light sleep. His temperature tonight is 100b
his respiration IS and pulse 120. Should the
wounded man succeed in passing through to-
night we'll, his physicians express the hope that
his recovery, though necessarily slow. will be
sure.
AT present Governor Goebel breathes alto
gether from his left lung" said DR.. Williams to-
night "Clotted blood has almost entirely coated
his wounded right lung which of course forms
a natural bandage and prevents further bleed
ing, but later Will prove somewhat a source of
danger. The c!otted blood will decompose in
about eight days, and then II may be necessary
TO remove a section OF rib in order to remove
the decomposed blood. The wound will then be
drained and the danger then will be from sec
ondary hemorrhages."

NOT AN ACT OF THE LEGISLATURE.

NOT AN ACT OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Justice Rumsey of the New-York Supreme
Court. said last evening to a reporter of The
Tribune:
Mr.. Taylor was declared elected Governor of
Kentucky by the Returning Board. upon which
ed in the first instance. as | understand the sit
uatOn. He sworn in and became Governor
until he ousted in some regularly prescribed
way, which, / understand it, under the
Goebel law. by vote of the Legislature.
Until the Legislature acted the law pre-
scribes Mr.. Taylor still Governor. There
seems to be no doubt that the Legislature was
not in session when the paper declaring for the
election Of Goebel was signed by what purported
to be majority of the members of the Legis-
lature. II the members not in a session
an act of the Legislature. but only act
of individual members.
No man could get valid Legislative act com
pleted or made by taking resolution about the
State and getting Senators and Assemblymen
to sign it, When that all done 1t would not
be an act of the Legislature
Efforts were made last night obtain from
several other Justices in this borough and Brook
Ign their views upon the legal aspect of the con-
troyersy. Justices Van Brunt. Barrett and
OBrien, of the Supreme Court declined how
ever, to discuss the case the ground that
newspaper dispatches do not give absolutely
facts. Justice Patterson is at Lakewood None
of the Justices of the Supreme Court In Brook
