Frankfort, KY, Feb. g $40 a,m.-Mr,

fairly comfortable last night He has

from each successive collapse, but held
his own steadily throughout the after
noon. His kidneys have practically
ceased their functions and slight symp.
toms Of pneumonia have appeared but
have not as yet become so serious as to
cause alarm In themselves.
AT $3.50 last night Dr.. Mccormick, the
optimistic physician, declared that In
his opinion there was no reason why
Goebel should not recover. The traces
OF pneumonia which had appeared, he
declared TO be the usual occurrence In
cases OF this kind. The most serious
symptom was, he said. the refusal Of
the kidneys TO operate, and consequent
danger of blood poisoning.
AT midnight the news from Gov
Goebel's room indicated that he might
possibly die before morning The action
OF the heart had grown weaker and as
circulation through the right lung was
retarded by his wound, but little blood
was received by the heart.
Al ] o'clock this morning DR.. Hume
said that Gov Goebel would probably
live through the night. He added, how
ever, there was a possibility Of uracmic
poisoning, and that Il is possible for the
governor to die In a CONFUSION almost
any time.

DROPS OUT OF SIGHT.
A Member of Parliament Mysteriously
Disappears.

New York, Aug. THE Tribune
says:
The Hon. James Boothby Burke
Roche, member of parliament, has ap-
parently disappeared. For almost three
months his friends in this city have not
heard from him, and no word from him
has reached his hotel. Mr.. Roche has
large interests in this country. and for
some years it has been his annual Gus
tom to visit America to look after
them. While in this city. and in fact
while in this country, he always stays
at and makes his headquarters at the
Holland house. This year he arrived in
America in April and took rooms, as
usual. at the Holland house. In the
first month or six weeks after that he
left the city on frequent trips, always.
however, retaining his rooms These
trips usually lasted from three to ten
days
About the middle of May Mr.. Roche
casually said to the clerk at the desk
that he was going out of town for two
or three days, but that his room was
not to be disturbed or changed. From
the time of Mr.. Roche's departure in
May up to the present the hotel people
have received no word, either directly
or indirectly, from the missing man.
They are seriously alarmed over his alb
sence, and fear that he may have met
foul play, or that some harm has be-
fallen him.
Among Mr. Roche's interests in this
country was a charter from the Cana
dian government to erect telegraph
line from a point on the Canadian Pa
cific railroad through to Dawson City
or some other point in the klondike
gold region He paid frequent visits to
Washington while here, it was sup
posed for the purpose of securing gov
ernmenta1 authority to extend his line
into Alaska. 1t is possible, OF course,
that he may be somewhere IN the Tar

FORFEITURE SET ASIDE.
Action of Court on Bond Given by
Richard Leonard.

Mr. Tracy L. Jefforls, counsel for Rich
ard B. Leonard, charged with practicing
dentistry without a license, today asked
Judge Kimball in the Police Court to set
aside the forfeiture of a bond for 500
entered against his client two days ago.
The trial of Leonard by jury had been
set peremptorily for Tuesday last at Mr..
Jeffords request, three weeks before.
Mr.. Jeffords appeared yesterday before
Judge Scott, who was sitting for Judge
kimball in the latter's absence and asked
that the forfeiture be set aside for rea-
sons alleged. but as the original proceed
ings were before Judge kimball, Judge
Scott declined to take action in the mat
ter.
Today as above stated Mr.. Jeffords re-
newed before Judge Kimball his motion of
yesterday. He asserted that he and his
client were at the court when wanted. An
investigation disclosed that Mr.. Jeffords
and Leonard were in the court building
at various times Tuesday, but not at the
time they were needed by the court.
Judge Kimball said he would set the for
feiture aside upon payment of the costs of
the attendance of twelve witnesses for the
government, amounting to 81, and an ex-
planation by counsel for defense to Judge
Scott that counsel meant the court build
ing when he stated yesterday that he and
Leonard were present in court the day the
trial was expected to take place. The trial
was then again set for Friday of next
week.
