Frankfort Tragedy.
Inspect the Spot Where GoebeI Fell
and Examine the Of,ccs I'm the
Public Buildings-Looi< Out From
the Room of the Secretary of state
Toward the blackberry Tree.

GEORGETOWN, Ky. Aug. 1S.-The re-
buttal testimony in the Powers trial was
concluded today.
The jury went to Frankfort and viewed
the scene Of the tragedy. including the va
rious rooms from which the shots might
have been fired The closing arguments
will begin tomorrow
The defence urged that the jury be al
lowed to only view the spot where Goebei
fell and that it should not go inside the
building or examine the blackberry tree.
It is predicted that all Powers can hope
for is a disagreement.
The case will go TO the jury by Sat
urday, when the Youtsey case will be call
ed and trial begun. the attorneys being
confident it can be concluded in three
weeks.
J. W. Bradburn. member OF the $780,
goo reward committee, was the first wit
ness today. He said that all of the s.. 1000
drawn by the commission had been ex-
pended except $685. but that no part OF Ii
had been paid TO witnesses for testimony
and that no contract or agreement had
been entered into directely or indirectly
10 pay any sum 70 anybody for any wit
nesses or testimony.
He further said that not a dollar had
ever been paid to Robert Noakes, Wharf
ton Golden ". H. Culton, or any other
witness, and there was no promise, con-
tract, or agreement made by the board
of commissioners TO pay either CT the:a
anything in the future.
Judge CantriIl asked the attorneys what
points in Frankfort they wanted the jury 10
visit. Mr.. Franklin, for the prosecution,
said he wanted them to visit the rooms in
all the State buildings, the spot where
Goebel fell, the blackberry tree, State ar
senal. Capitol Hotel, and Heeney's sore.
Ex-Governor Browne, for the defence,
urged that the jury be allowed TO visit only
the spot where Goebel fell, and take look
at the buildings from that point. Judge
Cantrill said it would be no advantage TO
the jury to visit but one spot. and he
would accompany them himself through all
the State buildings. but that no comment
would be permitted at any places pointed
out.
At $40 this afternoon the jury took
special train for Frankfort, Dpanied by
Judge Cantrill. Sheriff Snuff and three
deputies, Caleb Powers, and four o. his at
torneys. and two for the p-oss cutiol.
The round trip to Frankfort was made in
about three hours, and the jury marched
soiemnly through the legislative building,
executive building including the basement
and the Ad5utant Generals office, with
Judge Cantrill leading the way and Powers
and the attorneys following. Not a word
was said, but the blackberry tree, the nails
in the pavement where Gosbsl fell. and the
windows in the office of the Secretary of
State were examined closely by very Juror,
each peering out the windows a;ross the
fountain toward the blackberry tree No
matter out Of what other window on that
or any other floor they looked there was

said agreed to make good the amount of
the alleged stealings of the accused The
amount involved is said to be about $1,000.
of which sum Anderson's relatives will
pay about 81 COO After arriving at an un-

bookkeeper and cashier and Smith and
Lewis were employed as clerks. All, 1T is
said, had access TO the cash drawer. When

CHATTER OF STREET swEEPERs.
A Resident Complains of Cleaning
the Payements Twice a Night.

The Commissioners yesterday received a
communication from John P. Buckley, of
1910 Sixteenth Street northwest, complain
ing Of the mode of sweeping the thorough
fare on which he lives.
For weeks" he says, the street sweep
ers have been cleaning the east side of
Sixteenth Street about : o'clock p. m. re-
turning in the morning at o'clock to fin
ism the west side. Is it impossible for
them to finish OF an evening? Four O'Clock
in the morning is an IDEAL sleeping hour
and we certainly would like to enjoy II.
We are willing TO accept our share. but
could it not be arranged to strike us at a
different hour once in while?"
In explanation of the manner of sweep ng
Sixteenth Street, a. described in Mr..
Buckley's letter, Warner Stutler. the Su-
perintendent of Street Cleaning. said to a
reporter for The Times yesterday that
it would be impossible to change the ar
rangement without putting the whole
scheme of street sweeping In that quarter
Of the city out Of joint Continuing he
said: Sixteenth Street is what we call a
running street. that is. the machines go
down on the east side, turning into the
side streets and sweeping them as they
go along.
1T takes half the night to go up one
side and half the night to come back.
hence the interval between the sweeping
the two sides of the street. But this pan
is necessary in order to get the work done
promptly. II We did not follow this ColIse
the sweepeTs would have TO double on their
routes, and in that way lose an hour and
perhaps TWO hours night No doubt 1t
causes annoyance, but it is the best We can
do 1t is necessary to study economy in
cleaning the streets as well as in anything
else. BY means of the running street we
have learned that the greatest amount OF
work can be done in a given time

SELECTING SCHOOL SITES.
The Commissioners Inspecting Lots
offered for Sale.

offered for Sale.
The District Commissioners for some
time past have spent two or three after
Moons each week driving about the city
and county. visiting school sites. There
are about sixteen school buildings to be
erected, rcSlilt, or largely improved and
sites fo- size twelve of these are to be
chosen and purchased before building
operaticzs IN begin.
The z Il, d pursued by the Commits 5ion-
ers in s-lec,ing a school site was sug-
gested |. commissioner Ross some years
ago. and AIS been followed with good re-
suits. Proposals are asked for the sale of
available lots in the territory in which i
proposed to build the school. This brings
to the Commissioners a choice of numbe-
of lots for the proposed school, and al
prices named under competitive bidding.
The Commissioners then visit the sites Of
fered, take under consideration the avail
ability of each, as we'll as the p:ice at
which ii is offered. and then make choice.
Sometimes It happens that the lowest
priced lot is not best situated for the
school. 1t may be badly drained or IL may
be amid surroundings which would not fit
in well with a schoolhouse, and this makes
it necessary TO look elsewhere. 1t may be
that the highest-priced lot is considered
the best, and may be chosen, but the COM
petitive system of obtaining pricsE on
lot before choosing ii foTbids the Gamer
putting a fancy valuation upon it, because
it happens TO be wanted for educationa!
purposes.
Following this plan the Commissioners
have been busy for weeks looking at the
lots offered for the various bui.dings-in
lexington, in the GTeenleaf division, at
Washington Heights, in Petworth. in th7
Eighth division. att Kenilworth, in the
Tenth division. in the Eleventh division,
for the manual training school, for schools
in the northeast and southeast, and for
buildings at Hillsdale and Takoma Park.
Several Of these sites have been chosen
and the work OF construction ordered, and
in most instances the ground was offered
at rate little if any above what the lots
would bring In the open market.

THE COAL POCK ErS-

1t is understood that work will be be-
gun within very few days upon the new
coal pocket to be erected by the Dominion
Coal Co. The report is that five diggers
must be in operation by November / and
a large crew of men viii have to labor
pretty steadily to complete the underuak-
ing within the specified time.
The universal opinion along the water
front Is that the coal pocket win be fine
thing for Portland. A large number of
men will be employed IN the construction
OF the coal pocket and it is natural to sun
pose that much of the work will be done
by local labor. Dredging. pile driving
and wharf building require large crews
and when the pocket is completed if three

ENTERTAINMENT OF OFFICERS

The city of Portland is to do nothing
in a formal way for the entertainment of
the officers but the com nittee having the
celebration in charge has arranged many
pleasant trips for them and others are to
do something in the way of entertaining.
For example the Portland Railroad CON-
pany Will cake a party of officers to Nc
Cullum S theatre and to Riverton, as
their guests, and it is expected that the
Yarmouth road and the Casco Bay Steam
boat company VIII also extend courtesies
of this character The Maine Central an

sort for one days trip. The guests at the
