m man I THE LATE WILLIAM QOEBEL. Remains of Kentucky's Murdered Uov eroor Laid in State at Frankfort. No Excitement. Bj Telegraph to the Morning star Frankfort, Feb. 7. The remains of. Governor William Goebel were brought back to Frankfort to-day from Covington and laid in state in the la dies1 reception room in the west wing of the Capital Hotel. There they will remain until noon to-morrow, when the relatives and intimate friends will take a last look at the features. There was a steady downpour of rain all day and probably not over three of four thousand people took the oppor tunity to get a last look at the dead Democratic leader. Many of these were country people. Probably half of those who filed past the casket were women, wives of legislators and city and State officials, 'society women of Frankfort, and country women, many of them from the mountains. Many pathetic scenes were witnessed as the crowds slowly filed past by the bier. The floral offerings were magnifi cent. Nearly every county in the State sent flowers, and the big room was one mass of roses,lilies and smilaz. There was no excitement whatever in the city. Adjutant General Collier this morning gave orders that all sol diers be withdrawn from the city to the Capitol grounds. This was done to avoid any irritation which the pres ence of the State troops might have on Governor Goebel's friends. The funeral services of the late Gov ernor Goebel will commence at noon to-morrow in the parlors of the Capi torHotel. The services proper will be preceded by a short procession in the streets of the town. Ther will be no interment to morrow. BIG DEAL ON AT CHARLESTON. Armours May Build a Fertilizer Factory There $1,000,000 Capital. Charleston Neivsand Courier. It is repartedin Charleston, on au thority which is undoubtedly good, that Armour & Co., of Chicago, will establish a $1,000,000 fertilizer plant on the Kinsman property near this city. There ; are sound 'business reasons which prompt the company to take this step. The off aJ, blood, tank age and stuffs from the Armour meat concerns are excellent ingredients for fertilizer making and this has to be sold to independent companies. As matters now stand the Fertilizer Trust controls almost the entire business and is consequently in a position to dictate prices at which Armour is com pelled to sell his refuse stuffs. The item for this is by no means small from year to year and is looked upon as a stock in trade which would induce the company to build and equip plauts of its own. The building of an opposition fertil izer plant in Charleston, while not backed with the capital stock equal to that of the trust, would mean a great thing for this section, and it is be lieved in business circles that the scheme will go through. The Ar mours, it is said, have been favorably impressed with business conditions here of late and all thiDgs considered, they look upon this as the most desir able site for the big plant. FIRE AT CARRABELLE, FLA. The Custom House, Postoffice and Many Other Buildings Burned Loss Esti mated at Over $50,000. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Carrabelle, Fla., February 7. A disastrous fire broke out at this place last evening, caused by spontaneous combustion of turpentine and oil in the store of the Franklin Lumber Company. The flames quickly spread, and in two hours the custom house and passenger depot and freight ware house of the Carrabelle, Georgia and Tallahassee Railroad Company, to gether with the telegraph and express offices, the post ofnce.steam boat wharf. city market and other buildings were a mass of ruins. A quantity of naval stores on the wharf belonging to the Gulf Naval Stores Company was saved by cutting out a section of the wharf. The loss of the Franklin Lua ber Comnanv is $13,000, with $8,000 insur ance. It is impossible at present to estimate the total loss involved by the - fire, but it is conservatively placed at over $50,000. The city had but just recovered from the wreck made by the cyclone in August last and this blow is crushing. WARM WIRELETS.

Roberts and Kitchener Qo to the Front Im portant Movement on Poot Qen. Oatacre Fighting. By Cable to the Morning Sar. .London, February 7. While the suspense is on regarding General Bul ler's movements and the operations affecting the fate of Lad smith, there comes from other quarters interesting news in the announcement' that Field Marshal Lord Roberts, the comman-der-in chief of the British forces in South Africa, and his chief of staff, Major General Lord Kitchener, have left for . the front. An thU informa tion was held up for several hours by the censor it seems to indicate that a: lmnortant movement, in nn foot. a aispaicn irom Hterkstroom, dated this morning, announces that the Boers are' attacking General Oa tacre from two directions. Firinc was then proceeding between the outposts. A delayed Sterkstroom dispatch, dated Monday, February 5th, says a body , of troops left the camp February 3d, and that important developments were ex pected. It is cmite TirnhnhlA that, fhia explains Lord Roberts' departure, and .1 J . 1 . . uiav iuo vuuiiuauuer-m-cmei Wisnes either to.be present at or supervise the long intended movement by General Gatare to join forces with General Kelly-Kenney, and thence strongly reinforce General French, completing the - latter's WOrk at CJnlpshprrr nnH establishing without fear of serious uppuwuon; me aavancea position tor the main movement. This, however, does -not indicate that the main ad vance has begun. -The- commanders will probably be back at Cape Town within a short time. It is pointed out that the term "going, to the front" must not be intftrnreten infn tn islaa that a great movement upon Pretoria, by way of Bloemfontein, has seriously commenced. It will be a month, or nerhans much loncer. before this ran be brought about. In the meanwhile, the preliminary steps are likely to en liven the campaign with sharp fight ing, and news . from Sterkstroom and Colesberg is eagerly awaited. - Excitement in London. nshtirjer on the UorierTiicrpla w nnh- lished there was the usual scene of excit ment on the streets. The hie- placard attracted newspaper buyers, and the news was eagerly discussed in all quarters. There was notable ex citement in the House of Commons. where, in addition to the War Office announcement, that, n-nnai.nl Ttnllai. had crossed the Tugela Monday and was aayaucing upon Li&dysmith, a - j . m -ju.wfc. u.j ing that one hundred additional amb'u- lance siretcners nad been sent to the front from Durban. The War Office at present is only able to add, regarding General Buller's auvance, "ine operations are still in Drocress but wn hnvn nn infnrmolinTi regarding the result." The available maps do not show the drifts mentioned in the Boer dis patches. The rush in th Aimftinn nt the War Office when it was learned that confirmation had been received there of the report that General Buller i . was again auvancmg evidenced the anxiety of the public to obtain the latest details. The War Office measnorA as invan out, furnishes no clue as to where the Tugela was crossed, nor the numbers supporting General Buller's move ment; but it is presumed this third at tempi win oe a supreme ettort on the part ofjhe General to cut his way through, and that in it he will employ cvcrjr avtuiauie man. ne expression in the official dispatch, "is now ad vancing nnnn T.nHvsmith" if ia nnintul out, must not be taken to mean that he 1 A.

' Buller's Advance Movement. Spearman's Camp, Wednesday Feb. 7, 6 P. M. General Buller commenced the advance for the relief of Lady smith Monday. The naval guns open ed at 7 o'clock in the morning and a feint attack was made in front of our position.' Three battalions advanced toward the Brakfontein with six bat teries. , . At 11 o'clock the Boers opened with artillery fire and sent several shells among the British infantry who re tired an hour later. Meanwhile a vig orous attack was made on the extreme right, where the engineers expeditious ly constructed positions. Several pieces of cannon, hidden among the trees on Z warts' kop. bombarded heav ily. The British infantry advanced and the Boers were entirely surprised. At 4 o clock a high hill, named the Klantz kloof, a continuation of the Brakfontein, had been taken. The operations were excellently planned. The bombardment of the Boer posi tion was resumed this (yesterday) morning. The Borers worked a disap pearing cannon from the high Doorm kloof range, on the right of the cap tured hill ; but the British shells ex ploded its magazine, and the gun was put out of action until late in the day. Musketry nre was intermittent until the afternoon when the Boers made a determined effort to retake the hill. Reinforcements rushed up cheering, the Boers were repulsed and the British advanced along the ridge. ' Two Days Fighting. London,. February 8. The Stan dard has the following from Spear- Oman's Camp, dated February 7: The force under General culler is again advancing to the relief of Lady- smitb, and after two days of severe fighting it may fairly be said to have made a goed first step on the road to the besieged town. "The movement was begun at an early hour on Monday morning by. way or Jfotgieters drift. The Eleventh brigade, forming a part of the Fifth division, under General Warren, made a feint attack upon the kopjes imme diately on our front. The assault was delivered at the outset under cover of naval guns on Mount Alice and subse quently under that of field batteries. "The infantry advanced steadily to ward the Boer entrenched position at Brakfontein and kept the enemy busi ly employed. , While this diversion was being made, the remainder of the infantry told off for the attack, who had bivouacked Sunday night under Mount Alice, moved along at the foot of Z warts' kop, in the direction of our tight. "A pontoon bridge was thrown across the Tugela by the engineers un der the fire of the enemy. The first battalion to move across in the fore noon was the Durban light infantry, of Ge eral Lyttleton'a brigade. They advanced against Vaalkrantz, which lies on the most direct road to Lady smith, and after two hours of splendid wr rk they got within chargingdistance of in Boers. . At the Point of the Bayoiet. '' . "The first of the kopjes was carried by them at the point of the bayonet with the utmost gallantry. Almost simultaneously the first battalion rifle brigade ftlAara- the after moving along the Jong ridge they bivouacked on the spot.- , -The feint attack at PotgieterV drift having served its purpose in prevent ing the concentration of the enemy at the critical point, the Eleventh brigade; fell back to the river". i "In the course of the operation both the infantry and the artillery had been subjected to a severe shell fire. "Yesterday (Tuesday) at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, encouraged doubtless by their success atSpion kop, the Boers endeavored to re capture the position taken by us at Vaalkrantz. They were beaten back, however, with loss. British Losses Not Large. "The work accomplished so far has been magnificently done. The shell and Maxim fire poured in by the Boers has been extremely severe, but our lcsses are, comparatively speaking, small. The Durban light infantry took a few prisoners in the course of their charge. 4iThe enemy, as usual, fought with the utmost stubbornness. The British manoeuvring and the accuracy on the part of the British artillery during the lighting Monday were beyond praise. There is not the slightest likelihood that the Boers will succeed in dislodg ing us from the positions we have gained, and the prospects of the relief of Ladysmith are decidedly hopeful." Another special from Spearman's Camp,' dated Wednesday, February 7th, says: - "Our further advance is at the mo ment prevented.as the Boers enfilade us from their positions on Spion Kop and Doorm kloof. Our casualties, although estimated at 250, are trifling, consider ing the great importance of the move ment just concluded." SPIRITS TURPENTINE. Durham Herald: Monday morning W. H. Hinton died at his home. The deceased was about 60 years of age and had been sick for some time, pneumonia being the cause of his death. Mr. Hinton for merly resided at Clayton, Johnston county, and moved here some six or eight months ago. Clarkton Express: The little three-year old son of Mr. Wm. Mc Keithan, near Buie's cross-roads, was shockingly burned on last Thursday. He and two other children were in the house at his grandmother's, Mrs. Frank McKeithan, standing by the fire. The day was very cold and in getting too near the fire his clothes caught and before assistance could reach him they were almost entirely consumed from his stockings up. The skin peeled from a portion of his body and his nostrils and ears were crisped. He has since died. Raleigh News and Observer: A peculiar crime was punished in the criminal court in Halifax last week. Two colored men were indicted under a charge of false pretense for placing a piece of iron which weighed over 50 pounds in a bale of cotton. It was sold and one of them received the mo ney for it When it reached Sprunt's compress at Wilmington, it came very near ruining the costly machinery. It was traced back, the criminals found and indicted. - One turned State's evidence against the other, and the State's witness was let of with cost, while the other man was sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. Raleigh Post: Three negroes held up S D. Moody on the Pembroke road Monday three and a half miles from Newborn. They pulled him from his buggy and took 64 dollars from him. Moody came to the city and returned with Deputy Sheriff Tisdale to hunt for the robbers, who have not been found yet. Moody was in the county .paying for wood, and the robbery occurred in a deep cut through the woods. Moody was only slightly scratched during the encoun ter! Ida, the three year old daugh ter of Barren Forest of V anceboro was burned Sunday by her clothes catch ing from a fire she was building. She died yesterday. CURRENT COMMENT.
