it means is turning out the old crowd

The foul murder Of Col. Goebel to
keep him from taking the Governors
seat is bloody stain that the Repub-
lican party in Kentucky will never be
able to efface. He was a strong
minded man and as fearless and brave
as lion. knowing this they feared
him and wanted him oct OF the way.
The hands OF John Wilkes Booth or
OF Guiteau We're never engaged in a
more cowardly deed, or slew a braver
man. It is asserted by the Repubh-
cans that his murder is the result OF
revenge for the killing of Sanford by
Goebel, but this is far-fetched, as that
killing occurred something like two
wears ago, and an assassin for such a
cause could have long since gratlhed
his revenge.
The killing of Sanford by Goebel
claims no place in the minds of rea-
sonable men in this affair. He and
Sanford had an alteration concern
ing the publication of newspaper
article and Sanford started to draw
his pistol, but Goebel was the quick
est, and upon the principle that self
preservation is the first law of nature
be defended himself and was cleared
by jury of his countrynen.
All America can but depiore the
death Of such man. While ne
@ight have lived a better life from a
religious point of view, yet it is not
within the province ofmau to Judge
him along this line. At his request
ministers were with MIN constantly
Just before he died, and among bis

lived in open defiance of God. lie
perhaps by this time knows his re-
ward. Our province is to condemn
the foul method BY which he was
forced to meet it.

Chaos is the word to describe the
condition which has prevailed in
Kentucky for the past ten days
That State has always been known
to be place where land feuds arose
which often resulted in desperate
shootinss, and handed down bad
blood from generation to generation
Daniel Booze met with rough eX-
perience when as the first white en-
plorer he rambled through her forests
and the occurrences of the past month
have done much to merit for her the
title given her by the Indians OF
Ozark and Bloody Ground" The
fearful tradgedv of three weeks ago,
when in hotel lobby at Frankfort
an alteration between Ccl. Colson
and Lieut.. Scott resulted IN the Kill
ing of three men, two OF them IN
pocent parties to the affair, was fresh
in tbe minds of newspaper readers,
when the news of the foul assassina-
ton of Col. Goebel, Democratic con-
testant for Governor, came as the
states crowuing climax of shame.
The public are familiar with the poll
tical conditions that have existed in
Kentucky since last falls elections,
and remember that Col. Goebel,
Democrat, was contesting the Gov
errors seat, which had been gotten
possession of by William Taylor, Re
publican, and who was occupying the
same, as claimed by the Democrats,
without warrant Of election. The
board Of election commissioners were
to have decided who should be Gov
ernor one day last week, and it being
generally known that they would
award the seat to Goebel, he was
foullv assassinated while walking
across the public square, by some
yillainous towards who were secreted
in the third story of the building in
which were Taylor and his crowd,
From this third story window some
coward fired the fatal rifle ball that
ended the life of one of the bravest
men that was ever bred in old Ken
tucky. While on dying bed Goebel
was sworn into Office, ord issued sew
eral proclamations, and at his death
the Democratic contestant for lieu
tenant Governor was sworn IL, so
that for ten days Kentucky las had
Two Governors. But al appeal by
Taylor to the President to seld
troops and uphold him has been de-
clined, and like Hampton redeemed

ago kentucky will yet be redeemed
from the Republicans, who are now
weakening. All is excitement and
tro3ble in the old blue Grass

out fearful clash between soldiers

Let us hope that she will.

The Woman at Home and Regatntng
HeaIih-PaIIcssen i'm Jail, Morose
and Taciturn-Declines 10 EXercise
Except when Ordered-Tbe Pris-
oner Relieved TO BE Insane.

A decided improvement was reported
this morning in the condition of Mrs.
Charles F. Hengesbach, who was stabbed
by Olof Pallessen on March IA while at
tempting to protect her child. The woman
is new at her home, 2414 n Stret north
west, where she was removed from Colum-
bia Hospital Wednesday. Her condition
was such on that day that the physicians
at the hospital decided that it was no lon
ger necessary to detain her.
The wounds of Mrs Hengesbach have al
most entirely healed and she is able to sit
UP. Tie condition OF her mind, too, is
greatly improved and the indications are
that her complete recovery will be speedy.
II is expected that Mrs. Hengesbach will
be permitted to leave her bed on Sunday.
Pallessen is still confined in cell No.
tn "murderers' row" at the District jail.
He is apparently in the same condition
mentally as on the day OF his alleged
crime. He maintains the same stoical in
difference regarding himself and his sur
roundings and prefers the seclusion of his
cell to the companionship of guard or
fellow-prisoner Concerning himself Pal
lessen has said little He is moroSe and
taciturn and his occasional responses TO
queries are obtained with difficulty. He
has made no friends and shows no interest
in his surroundings.
Though Pallessen has an oportunity TO
exercise every day in the corridors, with
other prisoners he declines to embrace II.
Ii is only when the jail officials deem il
necessary for the good health OF Pallessen
that he should take q little exercise that
he does so.
The fellow-prisoners OF Fallessen. par
ticularly those accused Of murder. are
greatly interested in the Norwegian. They
regard him with pity and look on him as
an unfortunate victim Of a religious mania.
The general impression is that Pallessen

1t is understood that an effort will be
made to grant PallesSen an early trial.
The general impression about the Court
House is thai the man will be adjudged

impelled him TO commit murder might

A Negro StevedOre Slain at Newport
News.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March 23.-
Sol Watkins, a negro stevedore in the en-
pIoy of the Old Dominion Steamship COM
pany, received injuries at the hands of
Frank Williams, colored, which caused his
death shortly after Williams also worked
for the Old Dominion as a stevedore. The
assault occurred between 3 and o'clock
yesterday on Pier 6, while the New York
ship was tied up there. Williams, who
was arrested in Bloodfield, claims that he
struck Watkins with a piece Of dunnage,
which he picked up on the pier. He said
that he was first assaulted by Watkins ear
lier in the morning. ''If a man must hang
for defending himself" said Williams,
''he'd better hang" The testimony before
the coroner's jury bore out Williams state
ment about the fifst trouble. 1t seems that
the two negroes became involved in a
quarrel over some work to be done on the
ship between and O'Clock. Williams re-
ceiyed an ugly wound over the right eye.
He claims that Watkins struck him with
a cotton hook and that two other men as
sisted him. The men quit work between
8 and 4 o'clock, Watkins came off with
a truck. According to one of the witnesses
at the inquest Williams passed with a
piece of dunRage under his arm. Sudden
ly he turnedi around and. making some re-
mark, hit the other on the head. Williams
saws he went up to Watkins, saying. you
hit me with that hook, didn't you." then
struck him with the club. Watkins was
carried to his brothers house. where he
died about $50 o'clock.

Applicants Must Have Gem

The Civil Service Commission is prepar-
ing to hold an entirely novel form of exam

ments of the Treasury Department have
created, and which from its peculiar ma
ture has never yet been filled in what the
officials of the Department consider sat
isfactory manner. The position requires
the ability of translator thoroughly IA
miliar with French, German, Spanish, and
Italian. combined with an extensive knowl-
edge of the financial history of the United
States and other countries.
1t is designed to meet the need felt in
the Mint Bureau for thoroughly systema-
tizing information concerning the finan-
cial methods in vogue in other countries.
and the formulation of statistics illus
trating the same. The Treasury Depart
ment is in constant receipt of financial re-
ports from foreign countries which contain
valuable data, but the work of translatiug
and arranging such information, so as to
be subject to immediate reference has not
yet been adequately accomplished.
Assistant Secretary yanderlip has con-
ferred with A. R. Server, Chief Examiner

mission has determined upon a form of ex-

the requirements of the office.
The questions comprised in the exami-
nation include tests of the comDetitorS
knowledge of the French. German. Span

Chief Examiner Serven today, and il Is
sincerely hoped by the Treasury Depart
ment officials and the Commission that We
may obtain competent eligibles.
The translating which has been previ-
ously done in the Mint Bureau of the
Treasury has been mostly a mechanical
effort and while the translator's ability was
unquesticned considered merely as that
Of a translator, the only way in which IL
IS possible TO obtain a satisfactory result
is TO possess men competent not merely
in rendering the words of one language into
those Of another. but in selecting those re-
ports or portions OF reports which will IL

financial conditions prevailing in the
principal countries of the world.

COLONEL SMITH CoNFEssEs.
He Tells of the Military Boards Plot
to Rob Michigan.

LANSING. Mich, March 23.-The sensa-
tion OF the Marsh trial yesterday was the
unexpected confession of Co. H. A. 1mith.
former secretary OF the military board, and
himself under indictment, that General
White had instructed him TO open the bids
for furnishing military supplies and to per-
nit Bickerstaff to see them before the
awards were made This proceeding ena-
bled Bickerstaff to underbid competitors
and thereby facilitate the transfer of the
supplies sold to his firm for $40 500, which
600.
Smith told the details of his connection
with the conspiracy from the beginning. the
tendency of which was to show that Cen
eral White, General Marsh, Colonel SUIT
ton and Bickerstaf organized a conspiracy
to defraud the State and carried il to sue
cessful execution by deceiving Governor
Pingree into signing the necessary order
for the sale of the supplies.
Smiths testimony came from him uuwill-
ingly at first, but after he had told the
jury that both General Marsh and Colonel
Sutton had beseeched him not to tell any
thing be threw of his reserve and in a
straightforward manner told everything he
knew about the deal, leaving an impress
ion that the defendant will have difficulty
in removing. 1t is understood that in re-
turn for making clean breast of it, Pros
ecutor Tuttle will not press the indictment
against Smith.
