 Heart.

London, February 1s.-The Daily Tele- graph has the following dispatch from Mauuwporot, dated February 13, and de- layed in transmission:
 Every severe fighting occurred on both our Hanks near Rensburg. The enemy greatly outnumbered our troops, being about 1000 in number. They attacked the Worcestershire regiment on their hill. and with desperate determination charged again, only to experience heavy Maxim and rifle fire.

MOLINEUX TALKS
 IN OPEN COURT
Addressing Jury He ProcIaims
 Innocence
THEN SENTENCED TO DEATH
He Said ' ellow Journalism Had Put Price Upon His Head-Trial Was an Invitation to
 Blackmailers

New York, February 16.--Roland B. Mo- lineux was today sentenced to die in Sing Sing prison during the week of March 26 for the murder of Mrs. Kate J. Adams. He made a statement asserting that he had not been fairly convicted and that yellow journalism had put price on his head. MT. Weeks moved for a new trail on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the law and the veidence. He read ten grounds for his application for a new trial, passing them chiefly on the legal exceptions taken to the evidence and the rulings of the re- corder. As soon as he handed in his excep- tions Mir Weeks asked that the defendant be permitted to speak in his own behalf To this Recorder Golf at first demurred, saying that the request was unusual, but finally, after some discussion with MT. Weeks, ruled that Molineux might be heard.
 Molineux strengthened himself up and be- gan:
 "I thank your honor. Of the crime for which I stand convicted, and for still an- other crime with which I ann charged, l am absolutely and entirely innocent. All of the evidence@'
 
 any other crime"
 The defendant, "I suppose that I might refer to 1t since the district attorney did in his opening and closing argument?" The court. Your counsel has attended to all of that matter"
 The defendant: "very well. your honor. All of the evidence produced here does not point in the direction of guilt on my part. Al, 1f Gte- Miller in regard to the purchase of that silver bottle holder; she did not sell it to me. Also to the evidence of MT. Koch re- specting the letter box hired by a somebody in the name of Harry Cornish-it was not hired by me. Also to the evidence given by Mir. Kutnow respecting sample boxes sent around the country by his frm-none of which came to me- Nor did possess at any time any of the instruments which appear to have been used in this crime, and I never for one moment had murderous mo- motive.
 Convicted on Theories
 'As for the theories which the prosecu- tion offers, do not think I should be con- victed upon their supposition or the guesses they may wish to indulge in. I cannot con- ceive, your honor, how any honest man can believe the testimony of Nicholas Heck man, who convicted me upon an identifica- tIon which was for sale. Yellow Journalism put a price upon my head.
 Ut was an invitation to every blackmail- CT, ever perjuerer, every rogue, every man without principle, but with a price, and to that invitation Mir. Hickman responded.

THE DEAD GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY

There have been so much of passion,
and so little of reason, dominating the
politics of Kentucky the last few years,
that, in the presence of the awful TRACE
dy before which all true Kentuckians
of all parties and all factions stand
reverent and uncovered, it is hard to
speak without misconstruction, impos-
sible to speak without misrepresenta-
ton, Yet in the presence Of these
troubles that have come upon us almost
unawares, we venture to ask a parley
with our bitterest enemy; and, before
he lifts his hand to strike us down, to
entreat him to pause just for moment;
and then if he wants to strike, let
him strike and let the strike be NOR
tai. 1t is of William Goebel that we
wish to speak.
He lies dead at Frankfort. He can
never again speak for himself. We take
lieve to speak not for him, but in his
behalf; in the defense of the good name
which he wished to leave behind him,
now dear only to the bereaved ones of
his own family, though honored by his
/ political associates; for he lived lone
ly, isolated life; was cheek by-jowl
with no one; a simple student who as
pired to be a leader and a statesman.
He was ambitious. The eulogist of Gaze
sar called it a grievous fault, and griev-
ously has William Goebel answered it.
But there are kinds and degrees of am
bition. He wished to do the State some
service He thought the best way to
attain this end was to represent the in
terests of the great body of the people
against the growing aggressions of the
chartered companies. 1t cost him his
life. He has paid the debt He is gone.
But, being student, sustained by the
recttpdc of his convictions along the
knowledge of his researches, he sci
himself against the aggressions of the
chartered companies like a statesman,
not like an empirist. He did not seek
whimsically or corruptly to oppose
them; but, rather, to moderate theil
excess, to restrain them within the
bounds of their chartered rights. TC
accomplish task so needful and diff
cult required not merely legal learning
and acumen, but personal courage o.
the first order; because in the capitals
of all our States there are Hobbies
which, when the articles of corruption
fail, know how to handle the appliances
of intimidation; in the older States tn,
machinery is blackmail; in the newer
the menace of personal danger. Mr.
Goebel feared none of these. He wen
his way, disdaining them, He did hi
work in their despite. Because of thi
he became leader, and the only lead
er in Kentucky whom corruption ant
corruptionists seriously feared. The.
could not buy him and they could no
bully him. They had to cause him t.
be killed; and like the blowing up O
the Maine in Havana harbor, his deaf
will be the signal for such Just retri

1896 Mr.. Goebel did Mr.. Carlisle no
wrong whatever.
The killing of Mr.. Sanford by Mr..
Goebel is the pivotal point upon which
Mr.. GoebePs character has been ar

Sanford was dead shot. But, when
the bullets passed, Goebel's bullet hit

In the convention that nominated
Mr.. Goebel for governor the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad was the main
factor. After week of battle, day and
night, Mr. Goebel beat the combine
ton of brute force and money, and won

competitors whatever he did to them
that they were not ready to do to
him. Every man, woman and child III

The crowd was seated by Ushers Jas.
A. Summers, Sam Willard, Hoarce Mil
Ter and Bob Martin.
AT eight O'Clock promptly the sweet
melody of the wedding march filled
the sacred editice from the gifted touch
OF Miss Dora Cargille who presided at
the organ for the occasion. The ush-
ers marched up the side aisles and took
their places on either side of the altar
and the groom and his best friend, Will
Harris, followed at short interval by
the bride and her brother, Will John
son, who gave her away, came slow
ly up the center aisle and took THEN
places in front of the altar. Rev. j. j.
Robinette arose as they approached
and standing within the railing, in
front OF mass of beautiful flowers and
with the bride and groom beneath &
lovers knot suspended from an ever
green arch covered with lighted way
tapers, the old and beautiful ceremony
was performed in an impressive man
ner that united for life these loving
hearts. Following the ceremony anG
