WESLEY BI-CENTENARY
COMMITTEES.

satisfactory Rates Made by the Rail-
roads for Celebration.
A meeting of the general and special
committees on the Wesley Bi-Cente-
nary celebration was held at Grace
Church last night. The meeting was
largely attended and matters general
ly were discussed.
1t was announced that the railroads
had made a very satisfactory rate for
the occasion, and this was received
with enthusiasm. With low rates and
good time limits on tickets, it is cer-
tain that there will be a splendid gath
ering of Methodists, and all interest
ed in Savannah, during the last week in
June, when the ceremonies will be
held.
The number of prominent speakers
who will take part in the services will
draw visitors from all over Georgia
and the South, as we'll perhaps as from
some other portions of the country. The
two hundredath anniversary of the
birth of Wesley will be celebrated in
every portion of the world, but special
significance will attach to the celebra-
ton here, on account of the fact that
Wesley lived in this city for over a
year, and here established the first
Sunday
On account of the proportions which
the celebration is beginning to assume
the question as to the possibility of ac-
commodating the crowds, even in the
great auditorium of the Wesley Monu-
mental Church, was discussed, and it
was deemed advisable to secure, if pos
sble, the use of the Tabernacle, now
being erected in the Park Extension.
The meetings for which the Taber-
nacle is to be used will be over by
the time of the bi-centenary celebra-
ton, and it is more than probable that
the use of it will be gladly allowed by
those in charge.
A new committee was added to the
list of special committees, to have en-
tire charge of matters of finance. The
members of this new committee are as
follows: S. B. Adams. chairman; C.
H. Dorsett, r. ]. Travis, ]. S. Sims, G.
l.. Grower, J. P. Williams, T. ]. Ar
line, F. c. Stone.
Other business matters were discuss
ed. and it was shown by the general
| reports that everything is progressing
very nicely, and the celebration prom

NOKES TELLS OF PLOT
TO MURDER GOEBEL
Witness Was Unable to Revea
Scheme in Time.

GEORGETOWN, KY. Aug. 1S.-Robert
NolKes. who three years ago in the first
trial of Caleb Powers gave some sensa-
tionaI testimony. appeared as witness
for the prosecution yesterday.
Nokes said that at one time. at Cor
bin, Whitley county. Charles Finley,
former secretary of state. said to him
that the moving of large bodies of men
to Frankfort was too expensive; that
the best way to settle the contest was
20 pay James Howard $4,000 to kill
Goebel.
He said arrangements had been made
TO kill GoebeI on January %. 1900, but
they then miscarried. Nokes said he
started out to inform Goebel, but was
interrupted
Powers took the witness stand in his
own defense at the afternoon session
Examined by Judge Jere R. Morton, ne
told the story he has repeated on the
stand on each of his preceding trials,
but inserted new matter now and then
by entering a denial to the story told
by Frank Cecil. OF Bell county, that he
was seeking some one to enact the rols
of assassin.
Powers denied that he had any motive
in bringing the mountain army TO
Frankfort other than to show the Demo
cratic majority of the General Assembly
the intense feeling of the Republican
voters of the State, and said 1t had
nothing whatever to do with the Goebel
murder.
