COOPERi f SKULKING AT LOU SVILLE Democratic Legislators Hurl Abuse at Governor Taylor, They Do It at a Very Republican Members Meet 'at the State House. Detectives Begin Work to Discover Goebel's Assassin. BILL INTRODUCED IN DEMOCRAT ' IC LEGISLATURE APPROPRIAT ING $100,000 TO FIND THE SHOOT ER, AND REFERRED TO COM MITTEE!. Frankfort, Feb. 12. The Kentucky democrats refused today- to accept the Invitation of Governor Tayor to come to Frankfort and formally ous- him from the office of governor, and as far as outward appearances go he is to night the indisputed "governor of the state. The state house and! executive buildings were wide open, but the leg islators who have been anxious to throw Taylor out did not appear. They skulked at Louisville and from that town hurled abuse and swore they would never come to Frankfort. Sixteen democratic senators at Louis ville passed a resolution that the presence of soldiers was the reason for not coming here, but it was not a valid1 reason for there are no soldiers present other than a corporals guard to preserve order and to see that no body assassinated Taylor. Resolutions were also passed demanding that Taylor vacate the office and turn it ov er to. Beckham. : The. republican members of the legis lature got here today front: London. Each house iheld a meetg andap polnted a committee to tell Taylor that they were ready to do business. He sent back the laconic message, "Go ahead and do it." Then the houses adjourned for want of a quorum. Detectives today took advantage of the absence of soldiers to attempt to find out who killed Goebel, and from where the shot was fired. Three bul lets were located in a tree in the square. It would appear likely, that the assassin had drawn a bead on the tree and then waited until Goebel came between him and the tree. The 'bullets were not far apart, indicating that the assassin had a steady nerve. A bill was introduced in Louisville this afternoon appropriating $100,000 to hunt down the assassin. It was refer red to a committee. The general belief here now is that the democrats will continue their pres ent tactics until after the -decision in the injunction case In the federal courts In Cincinnati. Meanwhile the demo cratic injunction proceedings to re strain Taylor from interf erring With the meeting of the legislature at Frankforty will go on just as if Taylor hadn't thrown open the doors. SAW GOEBEL SHOT. Lexington, Feb. 12. Mrs. Amelia B. Saffel, who keeps a boarding house Jn Frankfort, says she saw Goebel shot. According to her story, she was In the state house yard in the state : CARE OF PROPERTY. uwww If you own rentable property 1 arid haven't the time, opportunity or inclination! to give it your per- sonal attention, we would be pleased to look after it for, you, J rent It, collect the rent, have any I necessary, repairs made, etc. We promise prompt and careful at- temtion to every detail of business entrusted to "us ccco WILKIE & LaBARBE, "Real Estate Agents, 23 Patton Avenue.

She saw the man run to the state house, enter the building and then go to the wounded man. She has described him to Taylor, and will tell more about the shooting when Taylor gives her permission. She things the man wasn't a republican and merely intended to- wound! Goebel slightly. Mrs. Saffel says she. believes' Goebel was dead two days before the fact was . made .public, -and was sworn ia as governor when he was a corpse. SENATE CONSIDERS PEN SION AND OTHER MATTERS Monuments for Revolutionary Heroes Will be Erected. Washington, Feb. 12. The house spent considerable time today in pen sion and district of Columbia legislar tion and then went into committee or tfye whole, favorably reporting the bill granting transportation companies the right to transport through the United States in bond goods destined for the Mexican free zone. The session of the senate was almost wholly taken up with speeches on the financial bill by Messrs. Elkins, of West Virginia; Wolcott, of Colorado, and Butler, of North Carolina. , Wol cott's speech attracted the most atten tion, especially that part of it in which he expressed his hope in the ultimate establishment of international bimetal lism. In general he approved the pending measure 'but insisted on its containing a declaration favoring bi metallism, which the finance commit tee had added to the bill. He said that bimetallisnCin this country ha-i ceived its greatest blow at the hands of the Bryan democracy, which had op enly advocated, a, depreciated cur rency. Mr. Butler based his opposition to the gold standard on the precariousness of the gold supply. He attacked the provision of the bill looking to the is sue of national bank notes. The senate also passed a resolution making effective a resolution passed! by the continental congress providing for monuments to Generals Francis Nash and WMliam L. Davidson, of North Carolina, t cost $5,000 each. ADVERSE TO JUDGE EWART. Sab-Committee Submits Unfavorable Report. Special to the Gazette. , Washington, Feb. 12.

Gazette Bureau. Tarborough House. Raleigh, Feb.. 12. Senator Butler will accompany Bryan to Raleigh tomorrow and this-has cre ated a mighty furor throughout the state. Leading democrats throughout, the state tonight declare that a blun der has been made in inviting Bryan here because Butler is to accompany him. Telegrams of protest are pouring in to Chairman Simmons and Commit teeman Daniels. Msiyor Waddell of Wilmington wires Dajnjete.iait "Richmond: - "If Butler ao compearie Bryan ' to Rale'ga we will lose thousands; of votes." County Chairman Armistead Jones sends a similar telegram. Francis Winston and Claude Kitchen telegraphed Chairman Simmons at Richmond that the demo crats pouring into Raleigh all protest against Butler coming with Bryan and concur in Waddeli's telegram. A prominent democrat says that this has lost the state to Bryan in the na tional convention!. The Gazette Bureau received a tele phone message this afternoon telling of a horrible accident at Durham this af ternoon. Shortly after 5 o'clock a loud explo sion awakened the city and it was found that the Durham; Electric Light ing company's plant had blown up. Hundreds of people gathered at the scene immediately. A great cloud1 of smoke rose in a thick volume and the site of the former power house was a mass of debris, broken brick and tim ber, twisted machinery and wires scat tered all over the neighbrohood. Five men were injured as follows: H. T. Brown, superintendent. Myatt Dixon, engineer. J. A. Lumley. lineman. William Burnett, colored, fireman. Alexander Lyon, a passerby. None were killed' and all are doing well except Lumley, who seems to be the worst hurt, but "who, it is thought, will recover. Lumley, is a brother, of George Lum ley, of this city, and Sam Lumley, of Wilmington. He formerly lived here, and was employed as a lineman by the Western Union Telegraph com pany. The destruction of the building is ap parently eoniptlete. A huge piece of the boiler, which wis inside the building, was blown across the Southern railroad track into Pettigrew street. The hous es in the vicinity were more or v lees damaged by the explosion, numerous windows being broken by the concussion or by broken fragments of machinery that went flying- through the air. The rear of the Durham county court house was peppered ' by fragments and nearly every one of the windows brok en. A cow standing in (the back lot of the Central hotel was killed. Just what caused the explosion is not known. The building1 was the property of Colonel Julian S. Carr, and was in sured against fire, but does not include acident or explosion, and nothing can be recovered in this Instance, lue boiler was insured aginet accident to the amount of $10,000. The amount of dam age done Is now - estimated at $15,000, and it is believed that $12,000 insurance will be recovered. For the present Durham will necessa rily remain in darkness for weeks to come unless some arangement "can. be made with one of the larger factories, and this is thought Impracticable.

The' national anti-trust convention opened s today U. L. Lockwobd, president of the -American Antin-trust, League - said : in his opening: . - ,..'-. ' ' 5 "Twenty-Height years' ago .there gath- X? -v.':, ; " ' -j" , " "v" '-- ered at the Little town of Franklin, just as we have gathered here, the rep resentative men of the five oil produc ing counties of western Pennsylvania. Gathered to protest, aye, and to revolt against that infamous-thing known as the South Improvement company's contract with the five trunk railways. That contract gave to the men who af terward create the Standard Oil com pany a rebate or drawback of more than one doUar a barrel on every bar rel of oil shipped from the oil region of Pennsylvania, whether shipped by the South Improvement company or not. In other words the railway companies contracted to take more than one dol lar a barrel from the independent pro ducers and refiners of Pennsylvania, in excessive freights antf transfer it Into the coffers of the South improvement company. The people of the oil regions of Pennsylvania went into revolt and aened this railroad power. "But the monopoly which the rail way companies failed to create under the open contract of the South Im- ; provement company they have since created by a system of secret rebates and drawbacks which they have given to the Standard Oil company. Yes, and the same power of secret rebates from the -railway companies has since monopolized" in the hands of the favor ed few almost every industry in Amer ica. "The' mighty power of right against wrong which shook the old sta.t nf Pennsylvania In 1872 and forced the re peal of the South Improvement com pany's charter will shake the republic of states in 1900. The mighty power of the American ballot focussed upon the wrong of monopoly, focussed .upon ths laws by which special privileges have been granted will wipe out the wrong and purge from the statute books all special privileges. "In my opinion one of "the most im portant remedies is the national owner ship of the railways of the country, the highways. For I say to you that there is hardly a monopoly in America today that has not ibeen created and maintained by railway discriminations. This reform can only be brought about by the ballot; only by the organization of a great political power, independent of party bosses, strong enough to drive from' public life the tools of monopolies and trusts and put in their places men prompted by impulses for the public welfare. But how can this power be created? Only by creating a non-partisan organization ih every voting pre cinct of this nation. 'It must be an" organization interferring with no man's politics so that every republican, ev ery "democrat, every populist, every pro hibitionist, every reformer who is op posed to monopolies and trusts -can organize in their respective counties and townships, pledging themselves to vote against a candidate who can be controlled by this corrupt corporate power. And, as" by magic, there is power created greater than-the power of corporate money in our public life. Yes, that power of the 'ballot intelli gently and courageously used is the only power which can save our insti tutions from disaster." Mayor Harrison welcomed the dele gates on behalf of the city. He de nounced trusts in general as dangerous and threatening the integrity of the nation. The time had come, he said, to doaway with trusts. Already, he continued the senate of the United States had been reduced to a small convention of owners and representa tives of the trusts. CHARRED BODIES FOUND Petersburg, Va., Feb. 12. The dwell ing of Martha Smith in Sussex county, near Stony creek, was destroyed by fire Saturday night, and she and six children burned to death. The only member of the family who escaped was a toy. The fire is believed to be in cendiary. The chanx-. bodies of the I seven unfortunates were found In the ruins yeeteroay morning. Mm F. R. Darby says: "Camphorlkie Is not only good for chapped hands but for burns and inflamed surfaces also.

USE -BRITISH fifflY Drastic Measures to be Taken if Necessary to Defend 0 the Empire. Nearly 600,000 Men to be Armed. Equipments Will Include Most of the Modern Guns. Kimberley Suffering From Bombard ment and Supplies Getting Low. nothing from buller be yond EXPLANATION OF. RE TREAT FROM VAALKRANTZ AND STATEMENT THAT HE CAN NOT REACH LADY SMITH. London, Feb. 12. All but conscrip tion, and that also, if other means fail, is Great Britain's new military policy, as announced in parliament touay. The army, which will be little short of 600,000 men, to bk trained with the most modern weapons, including a huge increase in artillery, is the force which the government declares upon for the defence of the empire.' Such is one startling sequel to The Hague peace proclamation. There would be few in England to say the government nay.' Englishmen, as a whole, will applaud the ministers' de cision as only prudent, and they will meet the enormous expense' involved resignedly. The press views the proposals, on a whole, with satisfaction, and where there is dissatisfaction, it is because too little rather than too much is con templated. There has been no adequate explana tion as to how the cost of this per manent .increase will be met. There is meanwhile nothing; from South Africa, and it is improbable that anything will transpire just yet. There is: nothing from Natal except Bullefs explanation of his, withdrawal from Vaalkrantz and his belief that he can't reach Ladysmith. Skirmishing' is reported from Rens berg but there has been no forward movement." Kimberley is suffering somewhat severely from the bombard- iiiui, nmii is itLiiia,ging tne residen tial part of the town. Supplies are probably falling also. DESPATCH FROM BULLER. London, Feb. 12, 4:20 P. M. The war office has received the following de spatch from Lord Roberts, dated Mod der River, Sunday: "I have received a telegram from Buller as follows, dated Friday, Feb ruary 9: " 'It was necessary after seizing Vaalkrantz to intrench it as a pivot of further operations. -But I found, after trying for two days, owing to the na ture of the ground, that this was im practicable. It also exposed us to the fire of heavy guns in position from which our artillery was dominated, it is essential to the troops advancing on Ladysmith by Harding or Monger's drift to hold Vaalkrantz securely, and accordingly we are . not pressing ad vance by these roads, as I find we can not make it sure.' " PRIVATIONS AT KIMBERLEY. 'London, Feb. 12, 4:40 A. M. Reports of vthe Boer advance through Zululand are dinsquieting. If they should be able to strike at Grey town, General Buller would 'be compelled to turn his atten tion to the eastern side of Natal. The fact that Lord Roberts arrived at Modder River Friday seems to show that he has been on a round of in spection of the chief commands and that the main advance is not so near as has been supposed. Startling, Intelligence comes from Kimberley in the Cape newspapers Just received by mail in London. It appears that since January 8 the ra tions at Kimberley have been for the most part horseflesh, so repugnant to women and children that many refuse to eat. It also appears that the death rate has been heavy and the priva tions of the garrison have been increas ing steadily. This news is startling because the censor has not allowed it to be cabled. presence of Lord Roberts at Modder River, and the apparent preparations for an advance from that point. The mention in the despatch of Lord Roberts to the war' office yesterday of General Clements as commanding at jtvensoerg is mieryreiea 10 snow iuat General French, .with his cavalry, has gone , to join -Lord Roberts, and that considerable changes In the distribu tion of troops in that district have oc curred.. The unexpected strength and activity of the Boers at Rensberg, where they are rather pressing the Britisli than being pressed by them, causes anxiety. There is no confirmation of the report of a sortie from Ladysmith. The latest despatch irom tnere, aatea weanesaay last, reports that all was quiet then; and that instructions had been- issued' fo beware of the possible approach of Boers In the guise of a British reHef force.
