 of the Leader Who Has
 Passed Away

Frankfort. Ky, February 3.-The bullet fired by an unknown assassin last Tuesday morning ended the life of Governor Goebel ht GAS this evening. The only persons pres ent at tho deathbed were Governor Goe- hels sister, Mrs. Braunacker and his brother, Arthur Goe3el, of Cincinnati. who have been in constant attendance at Gov . ernor Goebers bedside, and Dr. McCor- mack.
 Justus Goebel, another brother who has been hurrying from Arizona as fast as steain would carry him in vain hope of rcashing his dying brother in time for some token of recognition, arrived forty minutes too late Oxygen was frequently adminis- tered the dying man during the afternoon in an effort to keep him alive at least until his brother arrived, but in vain. By the cruel irony of fate, the train on which Jus tus Goebel was traveling to Frankfort was delayed several hours from various causes, and when MT. Goebe finally reached here 1t was only to learn that his brother was dead.
 Among. bitter partisans of both parties deep grief is manifested, and already a movement has been started to erect a fit- ting monument for Governor Goebel's mem- ory on the spot in the state house grounds where he was shot.
 No arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral. Plunged in grief and locked in the death chamber of their brother Ar tthur and Jus.us Goe5el and Mrs. Braun acker have given out no inttmation of their wishes, and probably definite arrange ment will be made until tomorrow.
 It is understood request will be made on behalf of the citizens of Frankfort that Governor Goebel's last resting place be in the cemetery here, where lie buried Daniel Boone and President Andrew Johnson. Governor Goebels condition last night and we'll into the morning was considered so much improved that for the first time since he was shot down in front of the state house hopes were entertained for his ultimate recovery.
 His hiccough and nausea, with both of which he had been troubled more or less from the first, had almost entirely disap- peared while his temperature had been re- duced to nearly normal, and lIis pulse, though high, was apparently stronger. He rested well up to midnight but after that hour awoke frequenty. Still. up to o'clock the condition of the patient seemed to be favorable.
 He Began Sinking
 About o'clock, however, the time of the night when the vitality is at its lowest ebb. the fliccoughs returned. accompanied by some nausea. This at first was not con- sidered very serious. and the trouble soon yielded to treatment, the patient again doz- ing until o'clock, when he grew restless. At his request former Congressman Hem drick was called, and Mir. Goebel asked for some of his legal advisers, with whom he wished to confer.
 From that time unthi about 10 o'clock Nr. Goebel rested fairly we'll, dozing at times, but shortly after 10 o'clock he suddenly grew worse. The hiccoughs and nausea re- turned with increased violence, much to the wounded mans distress, and his pulse ran up alarming1y. Drs. Mccormack and Hume were hastily summoned, and hypo- dermic injections of whisky and strichnine'
 
 him.
 At MT. Goebels request Chaplain L. G. Wallace, of the Kentucky penitentiary. an intimate friend, was sent for, and when the latter arrived the two had Ia short con- versation.
 "Lew," said Governor Goebel, 'I wish to announce to the world that do not hold myself in open violence to the word of God"
 The hypodermic injections afforded some temporary relief, but the sufferer for the first time in his long, weary struggle for life had apparently lost his indomitable courage.
 Doctor" said he feebiy, to Dr. McCor- mack, who stood at the bedside, "I'm afraid now that I'm not going to get over thas.,'
 Dr. Mccormack endeavored to cheer the fast failing man, but the latter soon Iapsed into condition of semi-conscious- mess.
 About o'clock he aroused himself. and
