 MORE TESTIMONY He duplicates Governor Taylor
 in the Plot PHYSICIANS ON THE STAND Bullet Supposed to Have Killed
 Goebel Produced. OTHER MEN TO BE TRIED IN JULY Special Term of Court Will be Ordered in Scott County to Hear the Discretionary Could
 Not Agree
OTHER MEN TO BE TRIED IN JULY

Frankfort, Ky, May 3.-The second day of the hearing in the application for bail for William H. Culton, the defendant who gave such startling testimony yesterday ended with the case unfinished. Culton res sumed his testimony this morning and cons tnued on the stand till nearly noon Thls afternoon Judge Cantrill announced that as the counsel had failed to agree as to the date for the trials of Secretary of State Powers, Youtsey, Whitaker, Davis and Combs, venued to Scott county he would call special term of the court in that county to begin the second Monday In July. Judge Cantrill said that on the first day of the special term, all of the cases trans. ferred will be called and assigned on hear- ing, but that it will doubtless be impossi- ble to finish up more than one or two on them during the term. The assassination cases ,all told, in the opinion of the laws yers will string out during the greater part of the next twelve months.
 The most important testimony brought out this afternoon was that of the two physicians who assisted in the autopsy on the body of Governor Goebel. This had never been made public before. Dr. T. R. Welch of Jessamine county, who was also | one of Goebel's physicians, conducted the | autopsy, aided by pr. E. B. Hume and Ja R. Edi.
 The Bul ct Produced pr. welch gave a long technical states ment about the bullet entering the right side and passing out on the left side.
 Dr. Edi corroborated Dr. Welch.
 D. M. Woodson, the civil engineer who ma he n hOnSA yard, exhibited a map showing the yard and buildings, trees and other things and the streets adjacent. The bullet, which was cut out of a hackberry tree near where Goebel fell, and which is supposed to have passed through his body, was produced in court
 Culton, clerk of Auditor of State Sweeney, resumed his testimony today in the hearing of motion for bail, which was begun yes- terday afternoon.
 He stated that Governor Taylor authors ized the witness to give Youtsey any amount of money desired if he would leava Kentucky.
 before Governor Goebel was shot. 1t was decided that Representative Henry Berry, who had been unseated few days before, should go to the house of representatives next morning and take his seat and refuse to give it up.
 vanMeter, his opponent, was to be in some way prevented from going to the hall that morning. Caleb Powers, who was at the conference, telephoned to Governof Taylor at Frankfort two or three times in regard to the conference.
 On cross-examination Culton said he did not know of any list of senators or representatives who were to be put out of the way. On redirect examination Culton said Sergeant-at-Arms Haley signed the subpoenaes for witnesses for Governor lrtx-- -;.r contest committee and authorized Culton to deputize good men in the various coun- ties to serve them
 Court adjourned until tomorrow.

HOUSE PASSED
 FREE HOME BILL Has Seen Pending for a Number
 of Years. MR. GROW GIVEN AN OVATION The Venerable Ex-Speaker Was the Father of the Original Homestead Bill When It Was Passed For
 ty-eight Years Ago.
MR. GROW GIVEN AN OVATION

Washington, May 3.-The house today, without division, passed the free home bill. which has been pending before con- gress for a number of years. The bill pro- vides that the government shall issue pat ents to actual bona fide settlers on agricul- tural lands of Indian reservations opened to settlement These lands were taken up by settlers who contracted to pay for them SIPS to s3.75 per acre. By the terms of the bill, the government assumes the pay ment of the purchase price to the Indians and changes the existing law relative to agricultural colleges as to insure the payment of the endowments which hereto fore have come out of the sale of public lands, in case of deficiency These pay ments involve $1,200,000 annually. Of the 29, GOO acres in Indian reservations open ed to settlement for which the government is to pay or has paid 0OO about B. 000 acres have been taken for agricu- tural purposes. A remarkable thing in connection with the passage of the bill to- day was speech in its favor by Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania the venerable ex-speaker of the house, who forty-eight years ago, fathered and passed the original homestead bill. The scene before him, he said, reminded him of the occasion in the old hall of representatives IS years ago when he made his speech on mans right to the soil
 MT. Grow was given an ovation, and by unanimous consent it was ordered his or iginal homestead speech be printed in the record. ''Then I was the youngest member of the house." said he q am now the old est"
 Maddox Opposed the Bill
 MT. Maddox of Georgia opposed the bill. He said 1t would cost the government $35- S59 964.
 MT. Eddy of Minnesota, in charge of the bill, said that all party platforms had de- clared for its passage He said it a mistake to suppose that the bill gave the settlers their homes free. They would have to reside upon the lands and cultivate them for five years before securing titles.
 MT. Wilson of Idaho, Shafroth of Colo rado, Miles of Indiana, Lacey of Iowa, Bell of Colorado, Jones of Washington, Burke of South Dakota, Snodgrass of Tennessee, Underwood of Alabama, Bartlett of Geor- gia, and Gamble of South Dakota spoke in favor of the bill, and it was passed amid enthusiasm in the galleries
 The remainder of the day was devoted to the sundry civil appropriation bill, the last but one of the great supply bills.
 MT. Cannon suggested that general de- bate be limited to ten minutes.
 MT. DeArmond of Missouri thought that ten minutes debate on great appropria- tion was farcical, and after a warm dis cussion between MT. DeArmond and Mr. Livingston of Georgia, debate was limited to thirty minutes.
 MT Kitchen of North Carolina consumed ctically all this time in discussion of the North Carolina election law in reply to some recent remarks of MT. Linney of North Carolina.
 After disposing of twenty-five pages of the bill, the house at p. m. adjourned.

Miss Title Harris received first
premium on pOtted plants and Mrs,

ers Mrs. D. NJ. SchOppert received
first prize and Miss Nettie Entler
second.
The operations of the railroads were
not very satisfactory and the fear of
the people that this would be the case
undoubtedly kept many persons from
attempting to reach the fair. The
Baltimore & Ohio refused to grant
concessions of any sort. The people
of Martinsburg couldn't get special
train, and had to charter train to
run around by Hagerstown. The
Cumberland Valley road handled the
train all right-it always does-bu
there was a vexatious delay on the
part of the Norfolk & Western at Ha-
gerstown for some reason or other,a
it was after half-past ten o'clock be-
fore the Martinsburgers got here. The
two trains of the N. & W. from the
south were also very late, and the
people from points along its line IN
Virginia did not arrive until Mr.,
Bryan's speech was almost finished.
The people were unutterably disap-
pointed, but they were not unuttera-
BILE when it came to expressing their
opinion of the railroad management.
There was very good order in the
town during the fair. One belliger-
ent from Martinsburg made himself
too fractions on the street Wednesday,
and was locked up by Sergeant Mad
dex. There was a fight or two on
the fair grounds Thursday, when a
negro was struck in the eye by a Grip
pie, who with his crutch inflicted q
fearful blow.
A young man from Charlestown
who tried to run gambling game
was also jailed and fined.
We will print the full premium list
of the fair next week.

for carrying mails on star routes, The
advertisements Will be of unusual I'M
portance as it will check an alleged
proposed combination of star route

Quire as a guarantee Of satisfactory

who intends to perform the service at
the lowest obtainable rate and to see
that the money named in the contract
goes TO the man who performs the SER
vice rather than to the speculative
bidder.

A Suicides Awful Death.

A young man who was not identl-
fed committed suicide in an awful
way at Harper's Ferry about half
past four o'clock last Saturday morn
ing. 1t is thought that the man was
deranged. He went to the Potomac
House about midnight, ate a lunch
and took room for the night, He
refused to register, but in the course
of conversation remarked that he was
q years old. He said he was from
Washington, but that city was not his
home. He was bound for Luray, Va,
and had a check for valise checked
to the latter point. About an hour
after he retired he appeared at the
door of the hotel proprietor's room
and asked for morphine. Later he
left the house. He entered the tele-
egraph Office at the railroad in an ex-
cited manner and made number Of
queer remarks to the operator. A
train was approaching, and he ran
about 20 feet from he telegraph Of
fee and threw himself on the tracks
before it. The engine and L cars
ran over him, and the train had to be
uncoupled before the body could be
recovered. His head was severed and
his limbs mangled. The dead man
had brown hair and eyes, ight-brown
mustache, was Of medium height and
weighed probably 145 pounds. He
wore light suit, derby hat and tan
shoes.

Still More Counterfsitinq.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band OF counterfeiterS and secured
a large quantity Of bogus bills, which
are so cleverly executed that the aver
age person would never suspect them of
being spurious Things Of great value
are always selected by counterfciters
for imitation, notably the celebrated
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has
many imitators but no equals for indi-
gestion. dyspepsia, constipation, ner-
vousneSs and general debility. The Bit
ters sets things right in the stomach.
and when the stomach is in good order
it makes good blood and plenty of it,.
In this manner the Bitters get at the
seat of strength and vitality, and restore
vigor to the weak and deblitated. Be-
ware of counterfeitS when buying.
