GOEBEL ADJUTANT-GENERAL.

GOEBEL ADJUTANT-G GENERAL.
Frankfort KY. Feb 1.-Two Governors, and
armed soldiers holding the balance of power be-
tween them-that was the situation in Frank
fort to-day. Whoever the soldiers decide is the
proper official for them to obey will be seated in
the gubernatorial chair. The soldiers them
selves We're in a Quandary as to what they
should do and they awaited developments.
While all the officers are Republicans, many
of them said this morning that they had no in
tention Of resisting the legal Governor Of Ken
lucky. provided they once satisfied who
the individual is. All things being equal they
will stand by Taylor
Some of the younger Democrats broke away
from the control of their leaders and were
openly talking of swearing citizens special
policemen in order to take possession of the
State buildings and Capitol grounds IL the
troops did not obey the order issued last night
by Goebel to dispense
Several appeals to the people" Statements
TO the public and "proclamations to the Com
nonwealth' We're circulated all of them of
violent nature but none of which received many
signatures calling the people to drive out the
military by force
The soldiers declared they would be driven by
nobody. The proprietors of the Capitol Hotel,
who yesterday refused to allow meetings of
Democrats within the building, because they
had been informed by Adjutant-General Collier
that he would Immediately seize the building If
they did so, declared that they would allow any
political meetings TO assemble that did not act
contrary to the rules of the establishment. They
would rent rooms TO anybody who wanted them
and the meeting could take its chances.
The failure OF Governor Goebel to place an
acknowledgement in office left the troops en-
tirely at the disposition Of the Repu blicans and
Cor the time being. least, has iessened all
chance of trouble from that source. The SOL

Collier and there will be conf1ictfhg- orders to

Governor Taylor remained in his office in the
executive building, and practically denied him

publication any action which he had taken or
NAV take hereafter. The records of the House
Clerk of the House Edward Lee yesterday by
around the streets in tire vain endeavor TO find
a hall in which it could hold a joint session

VIEWS OF LAWYERS IN CONGRESS.

Washington, Feb. IA number OF the lawyers
of the House of both political parties spent part
OF to-day in considering the legal phases OF the
situation in Kentucky. Representative Grosvenor,
of Ohio, said:
It is beyond cavil that Taylor, up to VIVA tever

of Kentucky because ne had the certificate of cleo

TON, TO-, THE LARGEST IN
THE WORLD
STALLS FOR FIFTY ENGINES
Erected by the NORTHWESTERN Rail-
Nay-Slte Obtained by Removing
Twenty-Sfx Residences in
Henri of Town.

CLINTON, To-. Aug 1.-THE largest
roundhouse In the world has just been
finished in this city by the North Western
Railway company. 1t is 400 feet In diam
eter and forms complete circle. 1t has
fifty stalls, ten more than any other
roundhouse ever built These facts are
matters Of pride in Clinton, for the strue-
ture, which may be simple In Its archi-
tectural lines, is building that inspires
boastfulness
The roundhouse is situated in thickly
populated part Of the town, and twenty
six houses were sold and moved away
to make room for it. Work on the
/ building was begun Aug. IA, 1899, under
the direction Of w. D. Walden, superin-
/ tendent of bridges and buildings. Mr..
Walden, who is rs years old. pushed the
work so rapidly that it was completed
In nine months. When it Is considered
that, In addition to the giant roundhouse,
coal chutes, oilhouses, and all the adj
Joining buildings had to raise with the
main structure, this time beats the re-
cord of recent building feats.
The radius of the outside wall of the
| roundhouse Is 1877 feet and inches The
| radius of the inside wall Is 1e6 feet.
The clearance between the walls inside
of the house Is 81 feet and inches As
the length of the longest engine and
tender Is 81 feet S1h inches, the turn ta-
BILE is 70 feet long. and is set on a
solid rock foundation. 1t is operated by
! electricity. Water is obtained from an
/ artesian well 1,n5 feet deep. The drop
| pits for driving and engine truck wheels
are cut out Of solid rock
The ash hoist for handling the immense
amount Of cinders coming from SO many
engines Is a new device in Its way, and
was designed by Mr.. Henderson, assist
ant superintendent Of motive power and
machinery for the Northwestern com
pany. In the old style clinker pits 1t
was customary to shovel the cinders out
OF the pit on the level, then into a car.
Later the car was run on a depressed
track, so as to facilitate handling the
refuse, but even this was a slow meth
cd, as 1t was necessary to keep the en-
gines off the pit while the shovelIng was
going on. With the pneumatic hoist 1t
is possible for a man to stand in the
pit and by the simple movement of a
valve, hoist the cinders over a car that
is standing on nearby track. and
by an ingenious arrangement they are
closed, and 1t returns to the pit for an
other load. This is done while an engine
Is on the pit or while it Is being moved,
SO that no time Is lost during the opera
ton.
Engines built In recent years are SO
much longer than those Of the old pat
