frankfort, n.y., Jan. ol.-GOeDel iS
dying. He can live but short time.
Frankfort, KY, Jan. 31.-Dr. Hume,
who is in charge Of Mr.. Goebel, an
nounces that there Is hardly posi-
bility that he could recover.
1.-THE only thing that keeps him
alive" said DR.. Hume, sis his splendid
nerve. He cannot keep up on that
alone, however, and l consider that
death is practical certainty, and that
within very short time"
He was troubled during the night
with frequent spells Of nausea, which
the physicians declared to be q bad
symptom.
No progress has been made toward
apprehending the man who did the
shooting and 1t Is not likely that any
will be made. To all appearances as
much Is known of the would-be assas-
sin today as ever will be known. The
police have practically abandoned the
case and there is nobody besides them
to take 1t up.
Building Closely Guarded.
The force Of mountaineers are In the
building from which the shots were
fred and nobody has been allowed to
enter 1t. Access to 1t Is made still
more difficult now by the force of SOL
diers which Is stationed at every gate.
Nobody is admitted to the capitol
grounds without a pass, and passes
are not issued in profusion by any
means.
All night soldiers poured into Frank
fort and at O'Clock in the morning
fully 1000 men, with two gatling
guns, were stationed in the capitol
building. Eight hundred more are ex-
pected during the day.
No proclamation declaring martial
law, which was threatened, has been
issued, and from present indications
none is probable for some time at least.
The statement that martial law would
be declared was made by one Of the
highest officers now here, but plans
were changed early in the morning so
as to delay radical action as long as
possible.
Taylor Remains i'm State House.
Governor Taylor and his attorneys
remained all night in the state house.
Threats had been made against all of
them and it was thought the wise
thing for them to remain where they
were until a portion at least of the ex-
element has subsidized. Governor Tay-
lor at 10 o'clock issued the following
| proclamation:
ITO the General Assembly of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky: Where
as, q state of instruction now prevails
In the state Of Kentucky, and especial
ly in Frankfort, the capital thereof,
| by virtue of the authority vested in
me by the constitution of Kentucky,
do hereby, by this proclamation ad-
Journ at once the general assembly of
the state of Kentucky to meet at Lon
con, Laurel county, KY, Tuesday. the
9th day Of February, 1900, at IL
o'clock. Given under my hand at
Frankfort, KY, this 31st day Of Janu-
airy, 1900, at 8 o'clock p. m.
NV. s. TAYLOR,
Governor of Kentucky"
| Blocked by Soldiers.
The Democratic members of the leg
islature declined to accept the adjourn
mentand decided to meet elsewhere In
body they ran through the streets to
the opera house to find company of
soldiers drawn up before 1t. Then they
decided to deliberate in the court house
and tore through the streets in that
| direction. A second company or sol
diers beat the lawmakers to the goal,
and they then took to the streets look
ing for place in which to hold ses-
sion and declare Goebel governor of
| Kentucky.
The Republican members Of the leg
islature decided to leave at once for
London pursuant to Governor Taylor's
instructions for the legislature to meet
there next Tuesday.
Judges Marked for Death.
The court Of appeals has indefinitely
adjourned, refusing to sit while the
militia is here. One reason for the
appellate court adjourning is the fact
that letters were received from Mid
dlesboro stating that Appellate Judges
Hazelrigg and Hobson were also to
have been killed at the time Goebel
was shot.
