CALEB POWERS GUILTY.
Jury Recommends That Extreme Penal
~ BE Imposed for Murder OF GoebcI,

Georgetown, Ky, Aug. 30-In the third
trial of eX-SeCretarY of State Caleb Pow
ers for completely in the murder of Gov.
William Goebel in January, 1860. closed
shortly before noon yesterday, the jury
recommended the extreme penalty of
hanging for the distinguished prisoner,
who had been in the penitentary for
three years on life sentence.
Several hundred people crowded the
court when the verdict was read and
the most intense silence prevailed The
Jury was polled. and each man declared
the verdict of guilty to be his finding
Powers sat unmoved while his attorneys
asked for time to make motion for a
new trial
Arthur Goebel, the brother of the vic
tim, and a prominent merchant at Gin
cinnati. who has spent his time and for
tune for over three years in the prosccu-
tion OF those accused Of being in a con-
spiracy to kill his brother broke down
from the strain upon hearing the YER
dict,
Powers has been convicted twice be
fore, this being the third trial in which
the jury brought in a verdict of guilty
against him on his previous trials he
escaped with a sentence of life imprson-
ment, as the evidence was not sufficient
ly strong against him to lead the jury
to nflict the extreme penalty.
All three of the trials were held at
Georgetown, and in each of them he
had the assistance of the most able
lawyers who could be procured. The
last trial was distinguished by the fact
that Powers addressed the jury in his
own behalf and in a long review of
the case showed himself to be a very
competent attorney, while his eloquence
in pleading for his life astounded those
who watched him carefully in the past
trials Of the case.
Powers will appeal and continue the
case to the last resort. When he Sc
cured his former new trials a majority
of those on the appellate court were re-
Uublcans, hut it is now composed of
democratic judges.
Powers is regarded as a strong man.

SLOW GROWTH OF CROPS.
Cloudy and ShOwcry Weather Make
Outlook Somewhat Dubious.

Boston, Sept. 2.--The weekly crop bullet
in of the New England section of the
climate and crop service of the weather
bureau says: The week, as a whole, was
characterized by cool, and, in the greater
portion of the section, cloudy and ranT
weather. In the extreme northeast and
southeast, tho rainfall was deficient, else
" here it was generally above the average.
Temperatures, both day and night, verc
low, there being a deficiency Throughout
the section during the whole week. 1t is
very probable that the week was about
the coolest on record for the last week
of August. Rainfall was general through
out the section. northern and eastern
Maine being most free from 1T. There was
an excess OF cloudy weather, the above
mentioned region alone having a fair
amount of sunshine
CONDITION OF CROPS.
The condition of the majority Of crops
has not improved to any great extent
during the week, their growth being gen
orally below the average and much less
than that desired and needed. Cloudy
and showery weather materially ntcrfered
with harvesting and retarded growth so
that the outlook of the more backward
crops is exceedingly dubious.
The harvesting of small grain is not yet
completed. although the greater part of
the crop has been secured with salts
factory yield regards both quantity
and quality. Summer-sown grain has
made a good start and fields arc looking

from most of the correspondents as to the

with a fair yield. Pastures continue fresh

Fruit.--somc fruit was blown off during
the week and there is scattered
complaint of falling. The apple
crop, as a whole, will not be
large, although in some localities
there will he an abundance. while others
