Ponce, the property of the well known
Bankers Messrs De Ford and Co.
went into la FEPIaza de las Delicias" at
the time of the parade, while the band
was playing and the Plaza was crowded
with people, in a state of intOxicatiOn
carrying behind him dog tied with
a chain.
Policeman Simonpietri tried to
prevent his creating a disturbance
and advised him to leave the Plaza.
He refused to do so and assaulted
the policeman, slapping him on the
face,
He was then Overpowered and
brought to the Municipal Depot.
AS he was being locked up in one
of the rooms he again assaulted
one of the guards, Who in self defen-
ce, made use of his revolver and fired
on him, inflicting, serious wound.
The wounded man was carried to
the Military Hospital and the poll
ceman, Angel Arizmendi, was ar
rested and released a few moments
afterwards.

The Assassination
OF Mr.. GOebel.

The cable has brought us the
news of the murder of the Hon.
William Goebel, the candidate for
Governor OF Kentucky on the De-
mocratic ticket last fall. Great in.
teresU was takn in the election
throughout the State and It was ex-
pected that the result would be clo-
Sc. After the election both parties
claimed to have elected their can
didates. The face of the returns
showed small plurality in favor of
the Republican candidate, but char
ges and countercharges were made
of fraud both in the election and in
the subsequent count OF the votes.
These charges on ca ch side were OF
such serious character that thous-
ands of votes were involved, many
times more than the mea gle plura-
lity which the republican candidate
appeared to have. The contest grew
mole bitter every day. party spirit
ran high and the people all over
tine state became greatly excited
over it.
The contest was left for the LIE.
gisIature to decide. The legislature
has recently assembled and would
soon have rendered decision.
Parties are very evenly balanced
in the Legislature and although the
democrats have a majority on joint
ballot the party is split up into
HGold" democrats and " Silver"
democrats, and it was impossible to
secure harmonious action. So the
contest ragged, becoming more bit
ter every day.
The excitement was intense and
so serious did the situation become
that thousands of armed men from
the interior of the. State began to as
semble at the capital.
at this juncture, when public fe-
cling was at the highest possible ten
sion, comes like a bomb shell, the
assassination of Mr. Goehel, the man
for whom his party was fighting. As
the assassin was unknown it is i'm.
possible to say by what motives he
was impelled in perpetrating his ter
rible deed. But undoubtedly the
crime grew out Of thekpresent alb.
normal and strained condition OF
affairs in Kentucky.
Great political excitement, wor-
King probably upon weak mind,
finally wrought the man up to such
a pitch that he lost all control of his
passions and murdered the man,
whom his disordered brain conceived
to be the cause of all the trouble.
OF course this is conjecture, but
sucn deeds have many parallels in
history.
Nearly all assassinations of ruler
or prominent public men have been
committed by such creatures and
with similar motives. A strong
case IN point is the assassination OfI
President Garfield by Guitean, al
half-crazy fellow who killed the Pre-
sident 50 that General Arthur, the
Vice President, might succeed him.
All sill dcplore the present sad
occurrence, and will anriously hope
that the murderer will soon be az.
pretended and that prompt and GER.

Gains Weight at Rate of Five Hundred
Tons a Year.
The earth is growing heavier at the
average rate of 500 tons a year. The
meteors or shooting or falling stars
(of which now and again such brilliant
displays rejoice the careful watchers)
in passing through the earth's atmos-
phere are burnt up and fall on to the
earth's surface, occasionally in a heavy
mass, but most usually in small me-
teoric dust. Prof. Nordenskjold, from
his great experience, estimated that,
from the cause named, 500 tons fall
uniformly and steadily yer the whole
globe in each year, and he obserVa-
tons of Russian scientists yield a sim
liar result. These meteor streams.
a another astronomer, are really
small planetary bodies, revolving
around the sun in fixed orbits by the
force of gravity. The earth revolves
on it's axis at the rate of 1000 miles an
hour, and speeds through space in its
orbit around the sun at the rate OF
1000 miles every minute, and in Au-
gust and November plunges into n
very midst of the meteoric stream go
ing in the opposite direction. The
rapidity with which they enter our at
mosphere, and the friction thus gen.
| Grated, are so enormous that they are
set fire to, the smaller ones being con-
| sumed and falling in dust, while the
larger ones occasionally reach the
earth in the shape of meteoric stone
or iron.
