BULLET THAT KILLED GoEBEL.
Autopsy Shows 1t Was a Winchester.
Curious Test.
From the New York World


Frankfort. KY, Feb. 5.-An autopsy
was performed tonight on the body of Mr.
Goebel for the purpose of determining the
exact course of the bullet, and thus OBJ
tanning clue TO the assassin.
No official statement of the result would
be given by any of the doctors, but it was
learned by the World CORES ondent that
it was absolutely shown that the wound
was inflicted by a 45-calbre bullet pro-
peeled by ninety grains of powder.
This shows that he ASSASSIN used a VIM
chester rife. Nearly every mountaneer
in the executive building carried a Win
chester of that calbre
The bullet passed out at the back less
than two inches believe the point at which
il entered The chest. The angle of the
wound is regarded as conclusive evidence
thar the shot was not fired from the up
per story, but from a lower floor in the
executive building.
Whether the shot was fired from the
floor on which Gov. Tay.or's offices are
located wiz be determined by a curious
test.

REV. STYLES INDIGNANT.
He Makes Counter Charges Against
Those who Attacked Him.

Rev w. H. Styles. ex-representative
from Liberty county is indignant at the
statement in a dispatch from Walthour-
vile in yesterdays Morning News that
al a meeting Of Republicans presided over
by Rev F. J. Butler, resolutions were
adopted declaring that he had been in
strumental in stirring up strife among
the citizens Cf the county, and making
other charges against him, and that the
meeting announced in favor of Delegal
as the chairman of the Republican party
Of the county.
"'rhere was no such meeting" said Rev
Styles yesterday. The regular Republi-
can meeting was he'd last week, and Del
egal and his faction were defeated These
resolutions were prepared in Savannah
and sent down to Liberty county for the
purpose of annoying me. Not a dozen
citizens in the county knew anything
about any such meeting. This same Rev.
+. j. Butler came in on the train with
me this morning before 1 had read the
article and told me not to think hard Of
him if J saw anything about me in the
paper. that he had nothing against me,
but that if we didn't keep up the fight
there would be no money in it for us. He
said he knew l was right, and that he
mad told Delegal 50. This statement was
made in the presence of three witnesses"
"Delegal and his crowd mad with
me- said Rev. Styles. because at the
Liberty county convention, l told the
eope that Delegal was not the man for
chairman because he was holding a job
in the Savannah Postofhce. and was not
a resident of Liberty county, because he
claimed to be the chairman of the District
Convention and for other reasons. This is
what they refer to when they charge me
me with stirring up strife There are
both white and colored people in Liberty
county, who know that my charges
against Delegal are true
According to Rev Styles statements
and also from information received from
other sources it would seem that to some
extent at least. the factional fight in the
ranks of the Republican party in this dis
trict has degenerated into a leg-pullins
contest in which those who desire the
honors must put up the cash.

BOTH WENT TO JAIL.
sad story of Michael O'Brien and Hi'
Children.

sad story of Michael O'Brien and His
Children.
The arrest yesterday of a white man
by the name of Michael O'Brien brought
10 light a pathetic story. O'Brien lived
with his wife and two adopted children,
a boy and a girl, on the Waters road. A
short time ago his wife died and the
grandmother of the girl decided to adopt
her and induced her to so to her house.
O'Brien, who il seems, was greatly at
tached to the child. became very much
incensed by this act of the grandmother s.
and going to her house, demanded that the
child be returned to his custody. 10 this
the grandmother refused to accede, which
so enraged the man that ne swOre that
if he could not have her no one else
should, and mat he would kill her on
sight, a threat that frightened the old lady
into swearing out a peace warrant against
him.
A county constable went last Monday
to serve the paper but before he got to
O'Briens house be found him on the road
drawing a heavy wagon, in the place of
the horse that he had just sold in order
to get money enough to buy food for the
boy whom he had left at home. He tod
the constable that it was absolutely ne
cessary that he should get the food home
or the boy would be starved, and he
pledged his word that if allowed to do so
he would come to the Court the next day
prepared to stand by the decision of the
magistrate This he did yesterday, bring
ing his adopted son with h m. He was I'M
able to give bond and the magistrate had
no option but to send him to Jail. He re-
fused to part with the boy who was con-
sequenty locked uD with him.

QUAINT WAYS OF COURTsHIP.
Odd Customs still Followed in Some
Parts of Pennsylvania.


Time and progress have obliterated
many Of the social customs that were es-
tablished in the colony that Penn found
cd. In the county of Bucks, where many
of PENIS descendants reside, and where
he owned vast tracts of land, the an
cient customs appertainine to courtship
and marriage are still largely observed.
First of all, the country swain is not
qualified to pay court to the girls of his
neighborhood until he has a. horse and
carriage, and that is generally his first
possession, either by gift from his father
or the result of the boarding of small
savings. The team acquired the young
man is prepared to become the over. He
drives usually, not to some girls house,
but to church or a public gathering of
both sexes, where he picks out a maiden
who suits his fancy, and If she has not
her escort and is willing he drives her
home and that is the opening for future
calls and drives
The country singing school and the ly-
ceum, now nearly mere memories, have
been the occasions for the beginning OF
dreams of love that later led 10 matri-
mony.
Then, too, the team comes in advantage
ously during the Sunday School picnic
season, the woods meetings conducted by
parties and other social occasions
The wooers team has in the past been
the cause of much worTiment on certain
occasions. Some evening, when he was
spending the time pleasantly in the
house Of his sweetheart, his friends, hav-
ing located him, proceeded to take the
carriage apart and carry the sections to
the roof of the barn, or, perchance, on
top of a haystack, and there put the We
hicle together. The wooer, coming for
his team after the last lingering fare
well to the object of his alteration, would
be amazed to see his carriage in the
place where his tormentors had left it,
His only alternative was to walk home
or bestride his horse and return the next
day for his carriage, meanwhile being
the subject of merciless raillery
Sometimes the prank took the form OF
reversing the wheels on the carriage
placing the rear higher wheels in the
rear Again, the horse might be unhitch-
ed from the carriage and placed back in
the shafts with its head toward the We
hicle. These pranks have been abolished.
however, as they became so annoying
that arrests resulted, and the fun was
discontinued.
Presenting that the courtship has pro-
crossed satisfactorily to all parties con-
