It is a place of about one Thousand
inhabitants. situated in what IS known
as the '.feud county, The inhapl.an'ts 5
are mostly mountaineers, and largely OF
most enthusiastic type of Republican
faith. The county is ore Of the greatest
Republican strongholds in the state. inc
people OF Laurel county are intensely
for Taylor and intensely against Goebel
and all his works. 1t Is TINS lalter
feeling that causes the Democratic MEM
bers of the Legislature to feel a hest
fancy about venturing at the present
time within the confiEes of Laurel county
or into the neighborhood OF London,
when party feeling runs so high and
bitter from end to end of the State.
Acknowledgement Collier declared to-
day that if they did not attend the leg
islatiye meeting. which is called to meet
on FEBRUARY 6th he would arrest them
individually, provided he received-the ne
cessary orders from Governor Taylor to
convey them to London.
NO RIGHT. TO ADJOURN.
The Democrats have not said they
would not go to London, but their legal
advisers have counselled them that Gov
/ ernor Taylor had no right to adjourn
the Legislature from frankfort, and 1t Is
likely that the matter will be tested In
arise which would call for the arrest OF
members.
All day the shadow of the death of Mr..
Goebel hung over the Capitol Hotel. His
strength began to fail him late IN tne
morning The hustle and excitement OF
the morning, which, despite all precau-
lions, penetrated into his quiet room, nad
a most serious effect upon him. AT noon
1t was declared that he could not live
but a short time, and at o clock 1t was
said that death was upon him. The halls
and stairways were filled with people,
who sat in silence. expecting to near al
any moment that the end had come. Inc
afternoon wore away, however, ana as
evening drew on he seemed to gain ne"
strength and appeared distinctly better
He was never for a moment unconscious
and never did his courage abate Tor an

Frankfort was quiet in the extreme to-.
