Well Known Citizen of HerndOn,
a Victim of Consumption.

Col. Samuel f. Embry died ol
consumption last Monday evening,
at his home near Herndon. He
had been in a declining condition for
some months and his death did not
come Unexpectedly.
Col. Embry was So years of age
and had long been one of the
most prominent citizens of South
Christian. Until recently his home
was at Howell, but he was widely
known in all portions Of
the county, and had many warm
friends in this city. In fact he had
more than a local reputation, as he
gained a State reputation some
years ago as a lecturer for the
Kelley Institute, at Dwight, Illi-
nois.
He was a man of strong intellect,
wide information and possessed a
most retentive memory. He was a
fluent conversationalist and a close
student of the worlds progress.
For many years he taught school
and stood high as teacher. He
was under all circumstances a true
and loyal Democrat.
Col. Embry was a widower and
leaves two children, and. other re-
latives. One of his brothers, Mr..
w. e. Embry, lives in Florida, and
another, Mr.. G. w. Embry, at

pared Story Wednesday.
Golden's Brother-in-Law Admits
lie Tried To Bribe The COM
mOnwealth's Witness.

Georgetown, KY, Aug. 2.-The
cross-examination of Caleb Powers
was finished yesterday afternoon
shortly before 2 o'clock and the
prisoner, tired and worn, left the
witness stand, after having under
gone an ordeal of rigid questioning
since Monday morning. Powers
was apparently well pleased with
the impression he had made and
walked to his seat with rapid
strides. A broad smile was on his
face and he received mods from his
attorneys which indicated that they
were satisfied with the result of the
cross-eXamination.
After the cross-examination OF
Powers was concluded, after calling
Wharton Golden for the purpose OF
asking one question, his brother-in-
law, the Rev. John Stamper, was
introduced for the purpose of i'm
peaching Golden. The witness
was hard pressed on cross-exami-
nation, He swore that Golden had
said he could get $4,000 to testify,
and admitted that he (Stamper)
had offered Golden $4,000 not to
testify, but to leave the State.
Powers denied many denials of
statements witnesses had attribu-
ted to him, but number of points
of greater or less Importance were
not cleared up. Powers went
fatty on record as opposed to the
secret assembling of militia under
guise of petitioners, but wanted
Taylor to surround himself with
militia and defy all civil law unit
the courts of last resort had acted
on the contest
Yesterday morning George Frank
lin Weaver, the barber, who
claimed that he saw Goebel shot
from Caleb Powers office, was ar
rested on a warrant charging him
with purjury,
Weaver is regarded as crank,
and it is thought he told his story
simply in order TO gain nOtoriety.
The attorneys for the prosecution
had never heard of him until he
sent word that he could throw light
on the mystery surrounding the
assassination of Gov. Goebel.
He tells an improbable tale about
having been on the battleship Ore
gon during the Spanish-American
war, yet he can tell nothing of the
ship, of her crew, or of the part the
vessel played in the war. One day
he claims to be a barber, the next
day he represents himself as an at
torney, aud now says that he is a
man.
