family devoted upon him. :Ie entered
the Confederate service when but a
youth and served throughout the war,
winning promotion III the line of his
duty by deeds of heroism and gallantry.
He was seriously wounded at Trevillian,
in Louisa county, and was there cared
for by the family of the present Mrs.
ELAN. 1t was then as the result of the
tender administrations of the young
lady who. later became his wife that
he subsequently cast his lot with the
people of this State and made II his
home. He located in Virginia shortly
after the war and was identified with
various Richmond papers, particularly
the Richmond Whg.
AS the result of his writings in the
Wing at this PERIOD he became in
volved in two duels, one in the year 1880
with Colonel Thomas Smith, Of War

ELAN received Il wound i'm the chin, burt
was not seriously injured.
Some years subsequent he fought an

Elan received n severe wound. which
for a time 1t was feared would prove
fatal. but he recovered. Colonel Beirne
was not wounded, but the bullet from
Colonel IIlams pistol passed through
his clothing.
While of 4 nature exceedingly re-
firing and modest in the extreme he
was man most courageous, morally
and physically. and was ever ready to
resent an insult either with pen or the
more dangerous weapon. the pistol.
Colonel ELAN held various positions
of public trust. all Of which he filled
with great credit and satisfaction. He
was for four years secretary of the
Commonwealth during Governor
Cameron's administration. He also
represented Louisa county. which he
always considered as his home, In the
General Assembly. and was one of the
party leaders in that body. Sub
seUuently he held tt prominent position
in the Department of the Interior under

Colonel ELAN is survived by a widow
and quite Il large family of chiltren,

of his sons is in government service at

among whom he lived. and they. with

AFoRcE BILL.

The defeated Republicans OF the
Kentucky Legislature have decided to
take an initiative in the matter of
bringing to the attention OF Congress
the necessity OF amending the National
election law so as to take out of the
hands of the various State govern
ments the election machinery so far as
Presidential and Congressional elections
are concerned. In other words. these
people are asking for the passage of n
force bill with all it's Objectionable and
tyrannical features, such as the Repub-
lican party attempted to force upon the
country few years since, and which
was finally defeated by the Democrats
after a hardfought battle.
The Republicans see the hand writing
on the wall. They, like drowning men,
are catching at every straw. They sec
their power waning, and now, as their
only hope to prolong their grip upon
power and their hold on the trusts that
thcy have betrayed they would force
upon the Southern States this iniqui-
tous measure by which they hope to re-
verse. Democratic majorities. Let them
try it,

this theory was that 1t was occupied by
Goebels political enemies, and was the
sleeping quarters of the mountaineers,
who were. there for no good purpose;
and this idea has been abandoned. One
man, who was seen to runafrom this
building, was arrested, and he Is now
in Jail awaiting trial; but there Is no
evidence against him. Another man
is also under arrest because he de-
clared, in a wild delirlum OF debauch,
that he was the murderer. Nobody be-
lieves that either OF these men had any
thing to do with the shooting. and 1t
was concealed In the building referred
to.
There were fifteen doctors In attend
ance upon the wounded man, but only
one has made any public statement as
to what he saw, and he is in great
doubt as to whether the shot came
from behind or from the front-indeed
he says from the holes made in Goebels
clothing 1t would seem that the shot
was fired from the front, as the jagged
edges OF the clothing where the ball en-
tered the body projected inward. and
where it came out in the rear the pro-
lecture was outward.
But here comes the only witness who
has yet appeared upon the scene, in
the person of clearinghouse keeper.
who says that she was on her way to
the acknowledgements office at the
time, and saw man, who was walking
behind Goebel, draw a pistol with his
left hand and shoot towards Goebel. The
man then ran into the State House. She
is positive she saw the man fire the
shot, but refuses to tell any more just
now. saying she cannot violate her
pledge to Governor Taylor. There may
be something in her story, but few at
tach any Importance to it.
Added to the strangeness OF this case.
is the fact that owing to the request
of the family of the dead man no cor
oner's inquest was held, and that, too,
in the face of the fact that it has been
the universal custom in Kentucky of
holding an inquest whenever a crime
has been committed.
There is n veil Of mystery around this
whole case that seems hard to lift, and
it is likely that the assassin will never
be brought to justice.
