A SUDDEN DEATH.
Charles Howe, the Well now
Janitor Died Yesterday of Heart
EaiIurR.

Janitor Died Yesterday OF Heart
Failure.
Yesterday morning at half-past two
o'clock, Charley Howe, the popular
janitor at Stone G. Thomas store, died
of heart failure at his room in the
store.
Mr.. Howe has been employed by
Stone & Thomas for the past six years,
and when war was declared he resign
ed his position and enlisted in the
American navy. He was an old sailor
and his enlistment was looked upon
with favor by the recruiting officers,
who at once assigned him to duty on
the United States gunboat Yankee, and
it was on this steamer he was actually
engaged throughout the entire cam
paign in and about Santiago harbor.
When the war was over and peace was
declared, Mr.. Howe came back to
Wheeling and %re-entered the employ OF
Stone G. Thomas, who had reserved his
place for him. Only a few months ago
he received a notification be was en-
titled to about a thousand dollars, his
share of prize money allowed for cap
lures by the Yankee during the war.
He later received an honorable dis
charge from the navy, which commend
ed his services highly.
The details OF his death are easily
told. Up to midnight Mr.. Howe re-
manned seated at the front door of the
store n complained to the policeman
and some friends that he could not
sleep owing TO a shortness of breath.
He shortly afterwards retired. however.
and later came out complaining of his
heart. Mr.. Lew Stone, a member of
the firm. was telephoned for and came
Immediately to the store, and upon
realizing the serious nature of affairs.
telephoned to DR.. Megrail, who re-
sponded Immediately. and rendered all
the assistance possible, but the afiict-
ed man became unconscious and died
about a half hour after the arrival OF
Mr.. Stone and the doctor. Later in
the morning the body was removed 10
Bertschy's undertaking establishment,
and prepared for burial. The inter-
ment will take place at Peninsula GEM
etery this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

The Tnxs Returned.

On Grocers' Day, last Thursday. three
small balloons were sent up from Mo-
cart Park. Each one had a tag at
tached stating the finder would re-
ceive a sack of -four by presenting the
tag to John Stroble. secretary Of the
Grocers' Association. Yesterday the
three tags were returned and they each
received their sack of -four. Those
finding the tags were as follows: VIM
Gearing OF Glenn's run; c. Barker, of
Stackyard Hollow, and II. Day Findley,
who lives seven miles out the Liberty
pike. One can easily see that the bal
looms made a fair geographical distri-
button.

MUNICIPAL POLITICS.
THERE IS CONSIDERABLE ACTIv-
ITY AMONG REPUBLICAN CAN
DIDATES.
CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN OPENED
And A~spirants for Office are Circu-
Iating Among the Boys and Ex-
ten.iing the Glad Hand-The AM
bftfon Of Alex. Camp eell-Other
Political News and Notes.

Ordinary in a Presidential campaign
there is very little doing in munich
pal politics, but the activity OF Repub-
lican aspirants for Office at present, fur
nishes a striking exception to the rule.
This situation is the outgrowth of the
belief among Republican politicians,
founded upon the size of recent party
majorities, that nomination Is equiva-
lent to election. Candidates say that
their fight will be at the primaries, and
as the primary elections are held early
it necessitates an early start in the
hunt for place.
The big and little bosses have been
figuring for some time, and there are
already states for everything down to
members of Council. A big fight is an
ticipated over the offices of Mayor,
Chief of Police and City Clerk, and
there are already indications that they
will not be conducted without some Bit
terness.
Ross Chew is conducting a pictorial
campaign for the Mayoralty nomina-
ton, and his photograph is conspicu-
ously displayed in public places. Ex-
Mayor j. r. Butts wants a renomina-
ton, and will work hard for it. James
P. Maxwell, president of the Second
Branch of Council, is expected to poll
a big vote among business men be-
cause of his thorough familiarity with
municipal affairs. Councilman William
Baird, of the Island, also aspires to
Mayor Sweeney's shoes.
There are two leading candidates for
Chief of Police, with indications that
the race will be complicated by the an
n~ouncements of other candidates. VIM.
M. Clemans has the advantage of pos
session, which his friends say will con-
stitute the proverbial mine points" in
politics as well as in law. His friends
say he has made an efficient officer, and
that every precedent entities him to re-
nomination. This argument is invari-
ably urged against ex-Chief T. D. Ben
nett, who nevertheless has a host of
friends and supporters who will stick
to him through thick and thin.
Clerk Thomas O'Brien will be oppos-
ed for nomination by Walter Worls.
clerk of the First Branch of Council.
Ed. Wolfe also announced his cand1-
dacy some time ago. He is connected
with VIM. A. List & Co.

CHAIN OF EVIDENCE.
Officer ThOmassOn Discovers an
Interesting CIew.
Bullet That Killed Gov. doebeI
Found Embedded In an
Ash Tree.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. Bon the
first day that they were given free
access to the State Capitol grounds,
within which Gov. Goebel was shot
down by an assassin, thepolice Off
Gals of Frankfort discovered an
important clew in the case, a silent
witness to the bloody deed. This
witness is a large tree, the trunk Of
which, it is believed, received the
assassin's bullet after it passed
through Goebel's body.
The clew, which is considered of
more Importance than any yet dis
covered, was found by Officer Zach
T. Thomasson, one of the most cap
able of the local officials. If it is
the bullet fired by the assassin, it
establishes as a fact the general
belief that the man who, fired it
stood within the office of the Secre-
tary of State, on the first floor of the
Executive building, and at a point
within twenty-five yards of the door
of the office in which Mr. Taylor
sat at the time of the shooting.
Measurements by surveyor, made
under direction of Commonwealth s
Attorney Franklin, from the base
of the tree, where the bullet entered,
to a window in the west end of that
building, lower floor, front, proved
the angle to be perfect, and a wire
line stretched between the two
points showed that man standing
at the spot where Goebel fell, and
going in the direction in which he
was moving at the time he was
shot, would have been struck by a
bullet in the same spot where he
was hit, and that the bullet would
have taken the same course through
the body.
The tree in which the bullet was
found stands on the western side of
the Legislative building, less than
thirty feet from the front entrance
to the grounds. a block of wood
several inches square containing
the leaden missile was cut from the
tree, and, without the removal of
the bullet from it, was turned over
to Commonwealth sAttorney Frank
lin. He sealed it up and laid it
away to awit the arrest of the con-
spirators, which, from present indi-
cations, will be made within two
weeks.
Officer Thomasson, who discov-
cred the lodging place of the bullet,
is one of the best marksmen in the
State. He was on duty near the
Statehouse on the day of the shoot
ing and helped to carry Gov. Goebel
TO the capital Hotel from the spot
where he fell. Going to that spot
yesterday afternoon he placed him
self in the position in which Goebel
stood and placed a stick across his
chest at the same distance from the
ground as where the bullet entered
Goebel's body. One end of the stick
pointed directly to the window
above mentioned in the executive
building, The other end pointed
toward a tree in the western side of
the yard. From where l stood,
said he, II could see the torn spot
at the base of the tree where the
bullet entered. l believe that bullet
passed through Gov. Goebel's body.

TWO INJUNCTTONS.
Beckham and Taylor Seeking to
EnjOin Each Other.
Beckham Sues in Franklin Circuit
Court and TayIor's Suit
Brought in Louisville.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 14.-Demo-
cratic attorneys this afternoon filed
a petition in the Franklin Circuit
Court to enjoin William S. Taylor
and John Marshall from performing
any of the duties of Governor and
Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky.
The petition was filed by Judge
Pryor and Messrs. Kohn, McOuown,
Scott and Hendrick. On Friday a
motion will be made before Judge
Cantrill, at Georgetown, asking
that the two Republican claimants
be enjoined.
Shortly after the petition was
filed a notice was made out and
placed in the hands ofSheriff Suter,
to be served on Messrs. Taylor and
Marshall. Sheriff Suter went to the
office of Mr.. Taylor in the Executive
building, but found the door locked.
Later in the afternoon he found Mr..
Taylor at his home, and there
served the notice of suit. Mr.. Mar
shall was not in Frankfort to-day,
having got wind of the suit, so no
service could be had on him. The
notice will probably be served on
him in Louisville tomorrow, or in
Frankfort if he comes to open the
rump session of the Senate.
