scHooLMATE OF POWERS.
Member of Jury Has Known De-
 fendant Many Years.

Georgetown, Ky, Oct. 23.-The trial of Caleb Powers was resumed promptly at o'clock. It has been discovered by counsel for the commonwealth that one of the jurors trying the case was school-mate of the defendant and was in the same class with him for three years at Kentucky University.
 George l.. Danforth of Louisville, was the first witness on the stand today. He was Tn the Senate chamber when Goebel was shot, but was unable to tell whence the bullets came.
 Representative W. P. Lilly of Leslie County, denied emphatically that he ever made the statement that if the legislature unseated Henry Berry of Fayette County, the Democratic members would be killed and 1t would be no more to kill them than 1t would be to kill so many. rabbits.
 Boss Davis said he never heard John l.. Powers tell Enoch Mays at the Brush Creek church in Knox County that Goebel was to be killed. N. I. McDaniel testi- fled that after Goebel was shot he heard Dr. Robinson of Frankfort say. Let's get guns and kill Taylor and every white Republican on the square,"
 State Senator Hun was when Goebel was shot he was coming out of the Agri- cultural building. He contradicted Colo mel Jack Chinn, who said he remained at Goebers side. Senator Huff said when he saw Colonel Chinn he was on the steps of the State house. a good distance from Goebel.
 c. o. Reynolds, former registar of the land office, said there was no plan to seat Henry Berry of Fayette County by force. MT. Reynolds also swore that w. H. Culton told him he had contract with the commonwealth whereby he was not to be prosecuted.

CRAVE CHARGES MADE.
Turkish Troops Said to Be Conniving
 With Brigands.

New York, Oct. 23-The Betscherna Poschta, a Macedonian newspaper pub iished at Sofia, Bulgaria. declares that the Turkish troops following the brigands holding Miss Ellen N. Stone, the Ameri- can missionary, and her companion, Mime. Tsilka, for ransom, have no intention of trying to capture the ruffians, says the Vienna correspondent of The World. On the contrary, the soldiers and Turkish officials provide the brigands with food, 1t Is asserted. The newspaper says that the briEands are being protected under orders from high Turkish authorities. The reason Is that they are keen for revenge against the United States for the pres sure brought to bear by America with reference to indemnities for the Armen- ian massacres by the Turks.
 As these declarations emanate from the organ of a revolutionary party that Is making war on Turkey and are not &C., companied by any proofs, they are not accepted as wholly without prejudice.
 The Poschta says that the Bulgarian Government is doing everything in it's power to assist the American representa- lives and has instructed q strict inquiry to secure the identity of those who made the capture of Miss Stone and to learn if the kldnappers had another and more important object than that of a ransom. The impression is created that Miss Stone will certainly be released at an early date.

JOHN REDMOND SPEAKS.
Says England Must Fight the United
 Irish Race.

Cork, Oct. 23.-John Redmond, M. P, in the course of the general reply which he made here yesterday to the numerous addresses presented to him, previous to his departure for the United States, laid particular stress on his contention that his mission to America could be taken as proof of the reunion which had oc- cured in Ireland and had also occurred in the United States and that England here after will have to fight the worldwide Irish race of 10000 900 whose action is ly that all means were honorable and just in the sight of God and who prefer red to be linked to the meanest free country on earth than to the British em- pire.'
 MT. Redmond also said that his mission was to show England that she would have to count hereafter on united Irish race backed by the public opinion o nS noS and the sup pie in the American Republic: Today public opinion in every civilized nation was against England and one of his ob- jects in going to America was to prove lie opinion of the world was upon the side of Ireland and that the whole public opinion of the American nation, Of the leading American statesmen and of all political parties was in complete sympa- thy with Irelands demands for freedom. He would be- able to tell their brethren in America of the unity. solidarity $nd courage of the Irish people at honG.
 Mir. Redmond was escorted to the rail- road station on his way to Queenstown tonight by large crowd of admirers carr. ing torches and headed by bands of music. Tar barr els were flaming along the route. Jchn Dillon and Timothy liar rington were among those present at the railroad station.
 The scene ar the; station was one of extraordinary enthusiasm. A large crowd with bands swept the barriers crested to exclude the public from the platforms, planted flaming tar barrels in front of the saloon carriage in which Mir. Fed mond was seated and played God Save Ireland and "The Star SpanSled Ban neI'
 Addressing the crowd from the plat form of the car Mr. Redmond referred to the attacks which The London Globe had to apologize for last session at the har of Parliament, characterizing these as ''sc1r1ulCus attacks upon the Irish marty" And TOW boiling with rage, he exclaimed, this paper Is grossly in- sulting our brethren in America and as serting trat we are going to the United States to get subscriptions from Amert- can murder clubs.
 This shows the blind. unreasoning hatred and opinion held by representa- lives of the British government notwith- standing the fact that through the long list of officials and public men In Amer ica from the Presidency down there have heen representatives of our race.
 Amone l variety of addresses and com nunications which Mir. Redmond received today have been telegrams from different parts of England denouncing hlm as T~aitor.
