THE KENTUCKY PLOT.
Wharton Golden duplicates n Number of
Leading Republicans.

wharton Golden duplicates n Number OF
Leading Republicans.
Frankfort, KY, March 25.-"John
Powers told me they had two niggers
here to kill Goebel. They were Herker
Smith and Dick Coombs."
This statement wns made yesterday
by Wharton Golden, n frail, consump-
tive looking Kentucky mountaineer,
while on the witness stand in the pre-
liminary examination of Secretary of
State Caleb Powers, charged with con-
spiracy to kill Goebel.
Golden told n story of the events
leading up to the murder that, II sub
stantiated. will, In the minds of those
connected with the prosecution at
least, probably go far toward proving
the contentious of the commonwealth
that the murder was the result of n
plan in which several prominent men
We're involved.
Frankfort, March 25.-Whether the
defense will seek to impeach Golden's
testimony in this preliminary examina-
uon is not known, as the attorneys for
the defense will not talk ON the sub
Ject, but unless such attempt is made,
the commonwealth will rest its case,
both County Attorney Polsgrove and
Attorney Campbell being satisfied that
enough evidence has been presented to
hold the defendant on the charges.
Golden, who claims to have been n
friend of Secretary Powers and his
brother, John Powers, for years, gave
testimony that was particularly dam
aging to John Powers, but he also
brought in the names of many others,
including Charles Finley, w. II. Gull
ton and Governor Taylor, in his story
of the bringing of the m~ountaineers
to Frankfort previous to the assassin
alton. Governor Taylor, however, was
not directly implicated. and the at
torneys for the commonwealth init
mated to-day that they do not expect
TO have his name brought forth prom
inently in the story of the alleged con-
spiracy.

Milne and Prof. George Davidson, an
Earthquake pendulum" costing $3.50,
has recently been tent to Hawaii,
where 1t will be employed to study the
tremors to which our newly annexed
island group is subject. This under
taking forms part of a great seismic
survey CT the world, through which 1t

knowledge of the location of the earth
quake centers of the globe, and of the
direction n intensity of the earth
quake waves which radiate from them.
The station at Hawaii will be among

Washington, March 26.-The meeting
of the American Tract Society was
held this afternoon. Rev. .Judson
Swift, field secretary Mt New York,
presented n report of the society's
work and Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler,
ID. D., of New York, delivered an clo-
quent address.
The secretary's report stated that the
society has issued at home and in the
foreign field 1890 distinct publica-
tons. 1t has printed in the Spanish
language, Christian literature to the
amount of 3,117,4OO pages. 1t has cir.
culated also during the past year $500
copies of the Spanish hymn book, the
demand for Spanish literature being
always In advance of the means to sup
ply. During the past two years over
100000 pages have been circulated
in the army and navy. The distribu.
tion of Christian literature in the
Mormon homes of Utah through the
|Golportcur wagon and missionaries is
of great Importance.

LOOKS LIKE A GIGANTIC DEAL,
Onicials of Five Great Railways Hold =
Secret Conference.

crCEet
Kansas City, March 24.-The recent
rumors of a big railroad consolidation
involving the Union Pacific. the Chi
cago & Alton the Illinois Central and
the Kansas City Southern, the latter
road being the r~eOrganized Kansas
City, Pittsburg & Gulf, were revived
here to-day, when it became known
that high officials of all these lines
were holding Il secret conference in
Kansas City.
Among those participating in the
conference We're S. ii. FELTON,, presi-
dent of the Chicago & Alton; Horace
G. Burt, president of the Union Pa
cilc; L. II. Hartman, president of the
Oregon Short Line and director in the
Union Pacific, the Chicago & Alton
and the Illinois Central, and one of the
controlling spirits In the management
of the Kansas City Southern.
The stories of a pending consolida-
ton are denied, but among railroad
men not directly interested the proba-
bility of such a combine is much dis
cussed. Especial stress is laid upon
the fact inst the same capitalists are
largely interested In all the properties
and that the Union Pacific and the
Chicago & Alton are already working
under close traffic relations.

From Washington
How a Little Boy Was Saved.

Washington, ID. c." When on,
boy was about 16 months old he broIs
out with a rash which was thought 10
be measles. In n few days he had a
swelling on the left side of his necl
and 1t was decided to be mumps. Ia
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said 1t was scrofula and ordered n
salve. He wanted TO lance the sore
but l would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became a running sore
Three doctors said it was %scrofula and
each ordered q blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of a case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1 decided ia
give It to my boy and in a short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that l stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon | again
gave him Hoods S%arsaparilla and its
persistent use has accomplished a com.
plete cure" Mrs. NETTIE CHASE,

NEBRASKA'S ROADS LOSE.
Federal Court Decides That Railway Com
missions Orders Must BE Obeysd


Omaha, March 24.-In the United
States Court to-day Judge Munger rem
dered u decision in the injunction case
brought by the railroads against the
State Board of Transportation. The
our holds that under the decision of
the Supreme Court in the maximum
rate case" the Board of Transports
ton has a right to enforce regulations
and rates not embraced within the
provisions of that law. The first of
these orders restored carload rates in
place of the hundredweight rates
adopted by the railroads. The second
order reduced the rates on live stock
ten per cent. and the third made a
thirty per cent. reduction in grain and
millstufT.
The court then says that the orders
clearly do not fall within prohibited
provisions of the decree. The rail
roads will now be forced either to ac-
cept the reduced rates or make a show
ing before the board that they are IN
reasonable.

MAFEKiNG'S HOPE GONE.

Both Relief Forces Checked by the Beers
London, March 23.-The latest news
from Colonel Plumer, who Is trying TO
relieve Mafeking, reports a Boer VIC
tory and Colonel Plumer's retreat. The
fate of Mafeking Is n source of great
worry to England and its relief seems
almost impossible, rs neither Plumer
nor Methuen seems to be able to make
any material advance. Colonel
Plumer's advance guard, under Colonel
Bodle, did not quite reach Pitsani, as
reported, but finding the Beers occu-
plying Pitsani, formed a camp six
miles south of Labatsi on the 10Th.
The Beers attacked him, driving Colo
mel Bodle back upon Lobatsi.
On Friday, the 18th, after an artil-
lery engagement, Colonel Plumer re-
tired north under owe of darkness
and is now at the Crocodile POOLS base.
His hospital has been brought back TO
Gaberones.
All hope of help for Colonel Baden
Powell from Colonel Plumer's Rhode
sian rough riders is dissipated by his
retreat. since he is where he vas re-
ported two months ago. He will have
his hands full preventing the tearing
up of the railroad n~orthward, and If
the Beers are in strong force he may
have hard work to avoid falling into
their hands.
Methuen's relief force from Kim
berley is still held at Fourteen
Streams, 167 miles from Mafeking,
where everybody is on quarter rations
and the only meat is horsefiesh.
Baden-Powelrs chances of rescue now
are looked upon by competent autbori-
ties as about n in n hundred. Gen
eral French's cavalry division is in
battle east of Bloemfontein, accord
ing to a message from Cape Town.

Human science owes many a debt,
especially on the practical side, to the
instinct of the lower animals. One of
these obligations is intimated in a re-
cent scientific review of the subject OF
dams. Engineers frequently build
dams straight across streams, the OBJ
ject being, in some cases, to save ex-
pense by sparing material. But the
beaver arches his dam against the cur
rent, and experience mas shown that
this form of dam Is best to resist floods
and the impact of floating ice. Acting
upon the knowledge which is instinc-
tive with the beaver. and which hu-
man calculation approves. the great
Bear Valley dam in California and
some other recently constructed dams
have been so made that their stability
largely depends upon the resistance
which their arched form presents.

TWO MEN LYNCHEO,
A Virginia Town Disgrnccd by tho Action
of n Mob

OF u MOD
Richmond, Va, March 25.-The
series of exciting events in Greenville
county the past week eliminated to-
day in n double lynching at Emporia.
Both Cotton, the negro who, according
to his confession, killed Sanders, and
OGrady, the white man who was with
him in the cabin when the murder oc-
CURED, were hanged by n mob, vari-
ously estimated at from 1900 to 1000
strong.
This morning the sheriff of the coun-
ty discharged from duty the military
that had beer sent from this city at
his request, and Major Cutchings, in
of the troops, notified Gov
ernor Tyler, stating nj the same time
tina he thought If the prisoners We're
left unprotected by the military they
would be lynchcd. The governor re-
piled as follows:
THE responsibility is on the sheriff.
If he orders you to withdraw, YOU can
do nothing but obey. We have done
everything possible to uphold law and
prevent mob violence. and are still pre-
pared to render every aid necessary"
Accordingly to Major Cutchings en-
trained his men and started for Rich
mond. This was about IL o'clock.
Hardly was the train out of sight when
n mob entered the Jail, tool Cotton.
hanged him TO the limb of Il tree and
fired forty bullets into his body.
Inter, despite the protests of cooler
heads, who claimed that the guilt of
the white nan had not been estab-
lished, another crowd, composed large
iy of negroes, entered the Jail, over
came the resistance of the few that
tried to protect O'Grady, tool him IL
and hanged him also.
