IDENTIFIED ny VICTIM.

One Of the mob then sprang up to
the steps, and, turning TO the crowd
begged all persons 20 put up their pis-
tols and handle their guns with care,
IN ord er to prevent any more blood
shed. This suggestion was adopted by
the crowd. and the eolored man was
started down the steps. A pillow line
was placed around his neck, and,
guarded by twenty heavily armed men
in fours, he was dragged out of the
jail yard. Down Clinton street the
shouting and cheering mob led their
victim, followed by fully 1900 people.
The doomed man was hustled quick.
~ to Dallas, and once there was drag
ged down Stevens avenue to the home
OF his victim. Here he was taken be-
fore the girl and positively identified.
The identification complete, the man
collapsed and had to be taken I'D and
borne on the shoulders of his csptors.
Moore's Grove was soon reached.
The rope around Clark's neck was
thrown over the limb OF an immense
tree by Miss Priests brother. The
colored man was thrown across the
back OF horse and the animal led out
from under him. The body fell prob
ably three feet, and ss II dangied in
the air the report OF probably q hum
dred firearms was heard, and the uiv-
ering Hesh Of the man was pierced by
many bullets.
just as the work was finished the
Decatur militia arrived at Huntsville,
Ehey were telephoned that they were
too late.

report that VIM. S. Wright, ex-
member of the Kentucky Legisla-
ture for Knott and Letcher coun-
ties, was assassinated at Boone
fork, on the Kentucky river, last
night, is confirmed by advices to-
night from Hagan. During the
campaign last fall, Wright made
an enthusiastic canvass for Jim
Young Brown, for Governor.
He a a prominent lawyer
aud Democratic politician and
had made many enemies among
the monntaineers In defending
cases for the coal companies.

A OF GOV. e

The death of William Goebel,
the martyred Democratic gov
ernor of Kentucky, who was the
victim Of an assassin's bullet,
will cast a gloom over the entire
country. Regardless of political
convictions, all honest and just
men must deplore the shooting
down Of this stalWart young
leader, whose life was SO reck-
lessly sacrificed bv a worse than
coward.
The death of Governor Goebel
places the reins of government in
the hands Of Lieutenant Govern
or }. G. W. Beckham, who had
assumed charge Of the Office
previous to Governor Goebel's
death.
Lieut.. Governor Beckham is
only thirty years of age. Unlike
the late Governor Goebel, he is
an excellent speaker, and his
skill and force on the stump has
made him the pride Of the Blue
Grass region, from which he
comes, and in which he lives. He
may not be a erich Young Man
in politics" but he started out
| with one of the oldest families in
the State behind him, and his
native county, Nelson, has ever
since4oyally supported him. He
was elected to the legislature on
the day he became of age. He
was reelected until he became
speaker of the house.
His canvass for second place
on the Democratic ticket is well
known in Kentucky, for be visit.
ed every part of it, speaking in
nearly every county. When he
was nominated people on 10th
sides said Mr.. Goebel had a
strong running mate. He is as
shrewd as be is emerge tic, ano
his reputation in Kentucky is as
high as a counsellor it is as ar
orator. Some Kentuckians believe
he is a second Henry Clay.
There need be no fears that the
Democratic side of embittere6
Kentucky politics will suffer be.

in THE COURTS.
Democratic Legislators of Hen
lucky Ask for an Injunction
Against Tay,Or: Got BEES
Chances of Recovery
Improve.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 2.-Late
to-day Goebel was improving. In
ternal bleeding had stopped, it
was said, but it was asserted that
blood had coagulated in the right
breast, and that an operation
would be necessary to remove it.
Democrats at noon brought the
expected injunction against Gov
ernor Taylor to enjoin him and
Adiutant General Collier from in.
terfering with the sessions of the
Legislature. The petition was
signed by seventy-one members.
The case will now be fought cut
in the courts, all conferences
having failed to agree. The judge
before wtom the cas- was brought
is a Democrat, The proceedings
were filed in Franklin Circuit
Court. Governor Taylor reiterated
that he would refuse to obey
orders of the State courts, as he
considered them partisan. The
case was set for tomorrow for a
hearing. This afternoon Colonel
Williams issued orders permitting
nobody to enter the inner guard
until further notice. This is sup
posed to have been to prevent
service of the notice on Taylor
and Collier. 1t is the aim of the
Republicans to have the contest
considered by the Federal courts.
Plans have been formulated to
this end.
In the event of the Goebelites
getting their case before the court
of appeals and obtaining a perpet
ual injunction restraining Taylor
from exercising the powers OF
governor, then attorneys for Tay-
lor will secure a standing in the
Supreme Court of the United
States by filing an application fol
a writ of error with a justice OF
this highest Federal court.

Special to the Argus.
Louisville KY, Feb. s., 3 p. m,
Everything at Frankfort is
quiet to-day. The dying request
of the late lamented Governor
Goebel, that his followers observe
peace, is being observed with a
heroism that nothing but faith in
the justice of their cause and love
for their dead leader could engen-
der.
TIE belief is prevalent that
Taylor will recede from his edict
ordering the Legislature to meet
in London, KY, tomorrow, a
small mountain town, remote from
the capital of the State, although
the Republican members of the
Legislature and a large body Of
troops are now en- route for Lon
don.
The Democratic contingent Of
the Legislature r still present in
Frankfort, and the conviction is
spreading that the Legislature
will be permitted to meet there
unmolested, probably tomorrow,
Senator Blackburn is on the
scene, and a conference between
him and a number of leading
Democrats and John Marshall,
the unseated Taylorite lieutenant
governor, will be held this afteP-
noon, when, doubtless, the policy
of the Taylor military enthroned
regime will be outlined, and there
upon definite action determined
upon by the Democrats.

All these cases arose in recon
struction times when the effects
Of the war were in a crude state,
and all affairs were in an unset
tied condition. The only case of
dual government in a state in
time of peace occurred in Rhode
Island-the famous Dorr rebels
lion. In this case there we're two
constitutions in dispute as we'll
as two governors, the dispute
arising over the suffrage, which
has been very limited. Dorr was
the champion OF universal stuff :
rage. The populists framed a
constitution submitted to the
people, and elected Dorr govern
or. He was inauguraued at Prov
idence, while Governor King.
acting under the old constitu-
ton, held the state bouse a.
Newport. Civil war of a milo
sort followed, and President
Tyler sent troops to Newport ir
May, 1852, to support King.
Dorr was noSequal to the task
he had assumed. His effort failed
but in a few months a constitu
ton was adopted embodying al
he had asked for.
