FRANKFORT, ky, Jan. So.-While
William Goebel lay at the point of death

two weeks had been listening to the evi-

The Republicans will probably as soon
as the decision Is rendered in favor of
Goebel, make application in the United
States Circuit Court. at Cincinnati. for
an injunction restraining Goebel and
Bec.tham from taking their seats. and
the battle will then be continued before
Judge Taft of that Court.

csts of the State. He had not thoroughly
investigated tho prison reports of other
States, but was of opinion that Virginia
was doing better in this line than most
OF them. He had always found the Davis
Boot and Shoe Company fair and honest
in their dealings with the State.
Mi. \. c. Harman, a member OF the
Board of Directors of the penitentiary,
was then put on the stand. He did not
know what uf any tax the Davis Com
pany paid to the State. Could not say
whether or not they paid a license tax
EIe stated that The contracts with the
Company were made between the se'cre-
tary and treasurer of the Company and
tho Board and Superintendent OF the PEN
itentiary; and that the Company, since
his incumbency on the Board, had carried
out the provisions OF their contract in let
ter and spirit He thought the Company
was inclined to be liberal with the con-
victs, and paid them for extra work of
their own accord. He said the Company
made principally ladies' shoes, which he
thought would retail for $15O a pair The
maximum output, said Mr.. Harman, was
about GcOO pairs of shoes daily; and 1850
convicts We're worked In the shop-aE
average Of about six pairs of shoes per
day to each convict, for which the State
received II cents.
Witness did not think the State could
utilize its convict labor to better ad-
vantage. It was not, he said, thes policy
of the Board to go into other enterprises
with the convict labor. He thought the
convicts came less in competition with
honest labor in the shoe business than in
any other line of work.
In answer to the question, why a claim
had not been engrafted in The contract.
allowing the State on its motion, to ter
inmate. Mr.. Harnlan said his Board had
followed the inVariable rule in force, for
tho Past eighteen years. and because they
thought they were making the best terms
possible He did not think the Company
would have entered into such contract,
because of its uncertainty. He thought
the giving of the convicts part of their
wages tended to make them more easily
managed. He said it had been tho policy
Of his Board not to compete with free
labor any. more than possible.
BY reference to the prison reports of
other States. Mr.. Harman showed that
convict labor was more profitable to yir-
ginia than to any other State except
Maryland.

The William r. Trigg Company will
probably decide to adopt electricity en-

ago they let contracts for some $4,000

contracts were let for more such machln-

When the brles are fumigated they are
loaded on disinfeosed drays to be ship
ped on outgoing steamers. As sugar
bags are constantly being shipped di-
rect to the other islands from the Pa
cific Coast, IL is considered useless to
treat them here any more vigorously
than has been described. The fumi-
gator consists Of an oblong box of four

The Chinese suspect who is now in

camp came from one Of the houses the
occupants Of which completed their
regular fifteen days quarantine on FRI
