THE COMMONWEALTH.
NOT YET WITH Jury.
The Argument in the Caleb Powers
Trial IL Being Kept UD BY
the Attorneys.

Georgetown, KY, Aug. 1s.-The ar
gument in the case of Caleb Powers,
charged with being an accessory to
the murder of William Goebel, was
not concluded, the court refusing 20
hold night session. Commonwealth
Attorney Robert B. Franklin will
make the closing speech for the pros
ecution. The argument for the de-
Tense was closed in an eloquent and
exhaustive argument by ex-Gov. Jno.
Young Brown.
The entire morning session and
nearly an hour of the afternoon was
taken up by Col. r. c. Campbell, who
spoke for the prosecution. In the lat
ter part of his address to the jury
Col. Campbell likened the circum-
stances of the assassination of Goe-
bel to that of Tom Baker in Clay
county in which Jim Howard figured,
and he minated that Howard fired
the shot but subsequently said: 81
do not know who fred the shot that
killed Goebel but it was of the five
principals named in the Indictment,
y
Youtsey, Harland Whitaker and Tai
low Dick Combs, and every one of
them were there by procurement of
Caleb Powers and w. S. Taylor" He
further said that when Caleb Powers
wrote to his sweetheart and also to
Prof. Stevens, of Barbourvile, claim.
ing the credit for the organization of
the mountain army for the disorgan-
lied condition of the democratic
party following the assassination of
Goebel he argued to himself more
credit was due him for Taylor and
Charles Finley were equally guilty
with him"
At the close of Col. Campbell's
speech, the court announced a mod
ification of the seventh section of the
instructions to the jury modification
defines the words unlawful act" to
be "To alarm, incite terror or do bod
lily harm" This section instructs the
jury with Powers and others con-
spired to do an unlawful act and as
a result of this William Goebel was
killed it should find Powers guilty of
murder.

The steward or other purchaser

brand; he wouldn't care a bit if the

might be by coming in contact with

"On the other hand, the small cans

tiers and it is important, of course,
that these should be in perfect or

JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME.
Gold From the United states Save
the London Markets From
"a Nasty jar"

New York, Aug. 2O.-A dispatch to
the Times from London, says. Just
in the nick of time your gold became
available and saved our markets from
a nasty jar. London stockholders and
others still grumble at the smart
stroke played by the chancellor of
the exchaquer; but had he left the
money market to it's own devices,
last week must have seen the Bank
of England forced to put the rate up
to five per cent. AS it is, thanks to
the lending of credit promptly on the
shipped gold, we have been able to
carry through the mid-monthly stock
exchange settlement, pay up the
major part of our share of the ex-
chequer bond issue, and meet other
capital calls, not only without any
advance in market rates, but with an
ever-increasing ease.

Goods in large packages like. for

to the New York Sun, "are sometimes

of economy. the crate costing less
than a box. But canned goods in
smaller packages, of which the num-
Der of cans put up is enormous, are
commonly shipped in boxes. The rea-
son for this is very simple.
"The big cans are likely to have only
strip or a band label, the rest of
the broad expanse of tin being left
uncovered. 1t isn't necessary to put
this package up in fancy style, for it
is not to be displayed anywhere.
These goods are sold to hotels and
restaurants and other large users.

Washington, Aug. 2o.-The diplo-
mats connected with the Russian EN-
bassy have been annoyed by constant
reports attributing atrocities to the
Russian troops in China. One of the
most notable instances was an alleged
interview with Mrs. Anna Drew, wife
of Mr.. Z. L. Drew, the chief secretary
of Sir Robert Hart. AS a refutation
of the sentiments put in her mouth,
Mrs. Drew has addressed the follow
ing letter from Chicago, under date
of August IA, to the Russian ambassa-
dor. After the usual opening phrases,
she says:
Mrs. Drew's Letter.
1--WE have been living at Tien Tsin
the past year, and 1 returned from
there only last week. Our steamer
was besieged with newspaper report
ers upon our arrival at San Francis
co,and although was extremely care
full in what L said to them, a great
many strange things have been put
into my mouth by some disagreeable
people.
The Worst OF All.
The worst of all was an article
which attributed to me the most hor-
rible story of atrocities committed by
the Russian soldiers. 1 wish to deny
these statements in full, and as the
account has been copied into many
eastern papers, it has, perhaps, come
to your notice. feel that at least
must tell you how false it all is. In
fact, 1 can, from my own experience
during those terrible days of the
siege of Tien Tsin, speak only in the
highest terms of praise of the Russian
soldiers, who undoubtedly saved our
lives on more than one OCCASION"
Published ON Mrs. Drew's Account.
In giving this letter out for publ
cation the Russian embassy wishes it
understood that little Importance is
attributed to the effect of the stories
rejecting upon the Russian troops.
We're it not that the lady concerned
is DESTROYS of correcting the false re-
ports, no notice would be taken of
them, as the facts themselves are the
best refutation of the sensational
canards published, with the obvious
purpose of prejudicing the American
press and people against the Rus
SLAMS.
