NINE TO TWO.
G0EBEL GOVERNOR TO-DAY IF He LIVES
The Republicans viii Probably Move For an
Injunction From the United states Circuit
Court Restraining GoebeI and Peck
ham From Taking Their Seats.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 30.-While Will
liam Goebel lay at the point of death in
his room as the result of an assassin's q
bullet the contesting boards which fos'
two weeks had been listening to the evil
dence in his contest for the Governor s
chair, declared him entitled to the seat.
The boards having in charge the con-
tests between Gocbel and Taylor for
Governor and Beckham and Marshall for
Lieutenant Governor. met ut seven
o'clock tonight in the city hall to COM
slider the evidence submitted. to them,
and prepare THEN. report to the Legis-
lature. A few legal authorities were read
TO them at the request of Senator Allsn,
who wished light shed upon a few doubt
full points. Then by strict party vote
Of 10 to l, William Goebel was declared
to have been legally elected Goveruor OF
Kentucky.
The Beckham-Marshal contest was
then voted upon and a strict party vote
OF 9 to . settled This matter.
Several Democrats sought to get to-
gether a quorum of beth houses, hold n
night session. push through the reports
and declare Goebel the Governor 10
Kentucky before morning to give him the
honor before he died, but too many leg
iSlaters were away. 1t is a certainty
that Goebel will be made Governor to-
niGgG.ow if he is alive.
The Republicans viii probably. as
socn as the decision is rendered in favor
Of Goebel. make aplica1ion in the United
States Circuit Court at Cincinlia. for an
injunction restraining Goebel and Beck
ham from taking their seats, and the
battle will then be continued before Judge
Talft of that court.
The Republican attorneys and Cover
nor Taylor are confident that at least a
temporary injunction will be granted and
that the ultimate victory will be i'll rhe.r
favor.
The grounds alleged include the preju-
dice Of the legislative body and the al
legged unfatnesS OF several members of the
contest boards to sit in Judgment upon
the case.
Three hundred men Of the Second Ken
lucky infantry were camped around the
capitol buildings tonight and 1000 more
are expected during the night and even
in@.
All through the building where the Adj
jntant Generals Office is located tonight
lie sleeping soldiers. every man with hrs
cartridge belt buckled around hrs waist.
The rifles are stacked outside the door,
sentries walking beats beside them. The
Gatling gun Of the Lexington company
is posted west OF the capitol steps and
the range to q row Of small stores and
dwelling houses south of the capitol
grounds is carefully calculated. For weeks
it has been the story that when an at
tack should be made upon the State Gov
eIrment by the discontented of either
PARTY, the firing would commence from
the upper windows of these buildings.

GUARD The DOORWAY.
Armed Mountaineers Prevent Search
For the Assassin.

AS soon as it was known that the bud
let which struck MIR. Goebtl had come
from the building to the east, n group
Of men gathered in front of the door ON
the west side to prevent the escape Of
anybody from there. Several men at
tempted to enter the doors from the out
side. hut were prevented by groups of
mOulntaineers. who stood in the doorU7ays.
Some of these men held WincheSteI's III
their hands and presented an aspect so
generally uninyiting that no attempt was
made to search the building and nobody
gained entrance to it for several minutes
after the shooting had been done and the
ASSASSIN had ample opportunity to escape.
That the shooting of Mr.. Goebel was
the result of q carefully laid plan ls
without question. The man who did the
work had evidently taken MS stand at
the window. which had previously been
raised in order to allow the free passage
of the bullet. and waited until his victim
was in full sight before firing.
Ever since the influx of mOuntaineerS
last week. a large number of them have
been sleeping in the UPPER part of the
State house. 1t is not known, however.
that any Of these men did the work OF
that they had amy knowledge of the pre-
meditated crime. There has not, so far,
been discovered the slightest direct evil
dence pointing to any man, and it is not
likely now that any will ever be found.
USED SMOKELESS POWDER.
The man who fired the shots took the
precaution to conceal his location by
using smokeless powder cartridges. a
>roye of people had a full view Of the
side of the building from which the
firing was done and all of them declare
that not sign of powder smoke was
visible.
Both Chinn and Lillard are men of ex-
perence in affairs in which powder
smoke is more or less prominent fea-
ture. and they both declare that while
they could tell the general direction from
which the bullets came, they could not
guess at the spot from which they were
fired
Il tried hard to get sight Of the fell
low" said Lillard, ''he kept pouring the
lead down at us. and I will swear there
was not sign of anything to Indicate
from where he was shooting. AS many
shots as he fired would make considerable
powder smoke if ordinary cartridges
were used, but never a sign of smoke
could / see.''
