Long Conference Between the
 Democratic Leaders.
GEN. CASTLEMAN ACCEPTS
He Asked to be Allowed to Serve Tenn
  porarily and Without Compsn- sation- Impelled by Sense of Duty

 ernor Beckham came to Louisville from Frankfort on an early train this morning in company with Col. Bennett H. Young ! and several other democratic leaders who spent most of last week at the capital counseling with their party associates. MT. Beckham spent the day quietly with friends in this city. During the afternoon most of the prominent democrats who have been active in the management of the Goebel campaign called on the new execu- tive and number of informal conferences were held. The policy to be followed by the party under its new leader was dis cussed, but the secret of the afternoons s consultations was closely guarded by all those who participated in them. Speaker Trimble of the house of representatives was present part of the time.
 General John B. Castleman who was ap- pointed last night by the democratic gov- ernor to serve as his adjutant-general was one of the first to greet his chief. General Castleman conveyed his acceptance of the trust and the plans of the democratic ad- ministration as far as they affect his branch of it were talked over. It is not the purpose of the democratic leaders to do anything to indicate desire to use force in the carrying out of their plans, but measures are to be taken for the pro- lection of democratic members of the leg islature and the state officers whom the members of that party look upon as being in authority. Just what form these meas ures will take will not, 1t Is announced, be made public for the present. An attempt to forcibly divest Adjutant- General Collier of the authority he exercises under Cover nor Taylor is not in line with the demo- cratic plans. Their movements, 1t is said, will be entirely defensive.
 General Casticmaq's Letter
 General Castleman's letter of acceptance, which was written immediately upon re- ceipt of notice of his appointment. follows:
 Louisville, Ky, February 4, 1900 "Hon. J. c. w. Beckham, Governor of Ken lucky Frankfort, Ky.
 My Dear Sir:-Every citizen should serve his state. Business obligations unusually exacting require my attention. Impelled by sense of duty to unite with you in the hope of influencing a peaceful solution of the difficulties which discredit Kentucky, hope that you will accept my services as temporary adjutant general and without compensation. I shall do whatever I can to support your administration and serve the commonwealth. Very respectfully your obedient servant,
 JOHN B. CASTLEMAN."
 General Castleman served as colonel of, the First Kentucky volunteers, which, dur ing the Spanish-Amerjcan war, was sent to Porto Fico. He is very popular in this city, where he has been prominent in busi- ness and social circles for many years.

new at the latter named collicrics, with several
hundred acres of coal land partly developed The
properties il. question are all located in Pittaton
township. The new acquisition is most vani.
able one 10 the Hillside company, as they pre-.
viously owned considerable mimproved land ad
joining the Butler company. Heretofore the pro.
duct OF the collierics has been shipped over the
New Nolk, susquehanna and Western, the Lehigll
Valley and the Pennsylvania railroads. but il.
future will be shipped exclusively over the

The Death of Alex Frere, Jr.

The people of Franklin were pain
ed, deeply panied, on last Sunday
morning to learn that Alex Frerc
had died the night previous, Satur-
day night. He was found in his
bed dead on Sunday morning.
Many who were expecting to leave
town that morning remained, desiring
to render assistance to his relatives
and friends. Alex lived here from
bovhood and was liked by all who
knew him. He had before him A
future bright with promise and that
he has been taken from our midst so
soon in life makes his departure all
the more difficult to bear. He had
many good qualities of heart and
mind. His honesty and courage
were known to all and the whole
community feels that all have suf
fered a loss in bis death. The BAN
NER extends to his bereavcd family
and friends its sincere sympathies
and would tighten, if it could, the
burden of sorrow upon them.
