THE LATEST NEWS.
GOEBEL SHOT ON THE STREETS
The Political MuddIe in Kentucky Re- suits in the Shooting of the
 Democratic Leader.

The Political MuddIe in Kentucky Re-
 suits in the Shooting of the
 Democratic Leader.
 Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 3O.-Goebel has been assassinatedl The shots which will cost the gallant Goebel his life were fired I5 minutes past l this morning in front of the capitol building while on his way to attend the session of the legislature. The grounds were crowded at the time. Five shots were fired in rapid sue cession, and Goebel fell mortally 7 wounded, mostiof the shots having taken effect in vital parts of the body. He was tenderly picked up by friends and carried to the Capitol hotel.
 There was no quarrel between Goebei and his assailant; Goebel was shot down without a chance at sell-defense. The widest excitement prevails, but the activity of the po- lice has so far prevented any riots. It is doubtful, however, whether they will be able to control the crowds much longer, as Goebel's friends are threatening vengeance. Much bloodshed, it is feared. will result before the passions of men oD both sides are colroiied.
 The assassination of Goebel is the culminating point in the political struggle which has prevailed in Ken lucky for nearly a year. GoeDel has been steadily forging to the front in Kentucky politics, and at the demo- cratic state convention held last summer he received the nomination for governor. This caused split ID the party, and the anti-Goebelites put a second democratic ticket in tbe utlu Nlln DIONu dl buS hcd'is AC campaign which followed was the warmest eyer conducted in Ken lucky, not excepting the Breckin- ridge campaign of few years ago. The result of the election was in doubt for weeks, although the face of the returns finally shovel that Taylor, the republican candidate for had majority and he was sworn in as governor. Goebel filed a contest before the legislature. Railroad companies brought mobs to Frankfort to inCimidate the leg islature and prevent it from declaI- ing in favor of Goebel. His assas- sination this morning adds a lother to the history of the Blue Grass state.
 John Whitaker, man suspected of the crime, was arrested few min ntes later and hurried to jail. fol- lowed by a mob which demanded his fife, though he protested his inno- cence.
