Goebel Monument UnvsiIed.

Upon the tenth anniversary of the
cath of William Goe5el, who wrote
the most stirring chapter in all the
history of the Commonwealth, the peo-
pie of Kentucky saw unveiled Thurs
day handsome monument of marble
and bronze erected over his tomb in
the Frankfort cemetery. typifying him
as the orator defending the rights of
the great common people. A cold and
dismal day with rain falling almost
constantly, did not deter the host of
those who loved and admired him,
from attending the ceremonial of un-
yelling and paying their tribute to his
memory. Owing to the inclemency of
the weather only the unwilling of the
monument took place at the State
cemetery, the formal ceremonies being
conducted in the Capitol Theatre, which
was crowded to its capacity.
Coincident with this tribute to the
memory of the martryed Governor,
there was laid in a tomb beside him
the body of his youngest brother,
Arthur Goehel. Tender tribute was
also paid to the memory of this most
faithful of kinsmen. and the tribute
to one was tribute to the other.
Present at the ceremonial and TAX
ing part himself. when he spoke be-
fore the great throng at the opera
house. was the survivor of the trio of
brothers. whose devotion to each other
was so marked as to be noted of all
men. Justus Goebel. bis sons, William
Goebel and Justus Goebel, Jr.. and his
daughter. Miss Lillian Goebel, had all
come from distant cities to attend
these ceremonies, and it was the young
niece Of the dead statesman who pulled
the cord that unveiled the statue of
the famous uncle.
Senator James B. McCreary made
the address of the occasion in which he
paid eloquent tribute to the dead
statesman. Bet it vas the short adj
dress CT the surviving brother which
held the breathless attention of the
great crowd as he demanded of justice

himself almost marked by the hand Of
death, which keeps him forever in a

which had come upon the fair name
of the Commonwealth in the freeing of
thrice convicted assassins. and calling

wealth to see that the foul crime shall
not go unavenged forever.
