OF the Democrats TO their homes, al
though a small number of them have
gone to Cincinnati. Few, if any, of
the Democrats who have gone will
return TO Frankfort until after the
session of the Legislature, which is
called for Tuesday at London, has
been held, although large number
of them expect to be present at the
funeral of Governor Goebel. AS
usual thing, many members leave the
city on Saturday and spend Sunday at
their homes, but the exodus has never
been so complete as at this time
The leaving of the Democratic SEN
ators and representatives has been up
on the advice of their attorneys, who
have told; them that it would, all
things considered be the best thing
for them to go to their homes, or to
some place where they could not be
reached in hurry should attempts be
made to arrest them and take them
to London, as has been threatened by
the military forces of the State. 1t
has been decided by the Democrats
that they will make no resistance in
the event of arrest and conveyance to
London, but that when they arrive
they will not vote upon one subject
that may be brought before the ses-
sion. There have been numerous ru-
mors all day that the Democrats in
tended to hold session of their own
at some place in the State outside Of
Frankfort Sometimes the rumor
named Covington and sometimes 1t
was London. The report could not be
substantiated in any way, however.
Representative G. T. Berry, who was
about the only member of the House
around the Capitol Hotel to-day, said
that he had been advised to go away
from Frankfort until after the Repub-
licans had started their session In
London, but said that he had decided
to remain here. He denied that there
was any intention to hold a Demo-
cratic session of the Legislature at
some place outside of the capital of
the State.
1t practically has been decided that
the remains of Governor William E.
Goebel will be buried in Frankfort in
the cemetery overlooking the Ken
lucky river, where lie the remains of
Daniel Boone, Vice President Richard
Johnson and several Kentucky Cover
nors, eminent jurists and soldiers.
Arthur and Justus Goebel. Senator
elect Joe Black burn, S. ]. Shackleford,
clerk of the Court of Appeals, and
Warden Lillard visited the cemetery
to-day and spent some time in looking
over the ground with view to select
ing suitable spot for the last resting
place of Governor Goebel. Though no
definite decision was reached, spot
in the vicinity of the immense shaft
erected in honor of Kentucky's dead
soldiers, nearly the highest spot in the
beautiful cemetery, was favored and
will probably be selected.
Although the burial will take place in
Frankfort. in accordance with the
wishes of the friends of the dead man,
the funeral services will be held in
Covington, his home. The remains will
be taken to Covington tomorrow on a
special train, which will leave here
about 6 or o'clock. The train will
consist of three cars, one car for the
casket and the actual pall-bearers. A
private car will be furnished the rela-
tives of the dead man, while a sleeper
will be furnished for the members of
the legislative committee which has not
yet been selected, judges of the Court of
Appeals and other political friends.
Tuesday morning the remains will be
conveyed to Odd Fellows hall in Gov
ington, and from $50 in the morning
until 10 o'clock in the evening will lie
in state, the hall being kept open in
the evening to allow the working peo-
pie an opportunity TO view the remains.
The funeral services will be extremely
simple, in difference not only to the
wishes Of Governor Goebel, but also Of
the members of his family. There will
be a guard of honor in Coyington, Sc
lected by Arthur Goebel, consisting of
so citizens, but outside of this there will
be no ceremony or display of any kind.
Even the funeral cortege will be lack

Wednesday morning the remains
will be brought back to Frankfort and
placed in the big ballroom lof the
Capitol Hotel. where they win lie in
state all that day. Some apprehension
is felt Of trouh1e1e fhat 80 1
