KENTUCKY'S WAR FLATTENED AGAIN But Leaders Express Fears as to the Outcome Powers and Davis Attempt to Escape in Disguise. - BOTH HOUSES OF LEGISLATURE ALLOWED TO MEET WITHOUT j INTERFERENCE FROM STATE TROOP S. Frankfort. Ky.. March 12. Secretary of State Caleb H. Powers and Captain Davis, for whom warrants were issued Saturday charging complicity in the murder of Governor Goebel, left town in disguise Saturday night. They slip ped aboard a Chesapeake & Ohio train at "8 o'clock and sped toward Lexing ton. A squad of soldiers, ccrning from the governor's mansion at double quick, caught the train Just before it pulled out. With them were Powers and Davis, dressed in soldiers' uni forms, and before the guard of deputy sheriffs became aware of what was go ing on. the train left. On the arrival of the train at Lexing ton Powers and Davis and Lieutenant Peak were arrested by the Lexington police and the sheriff and deputies. There was a wild scene when the offi cers broke into the car and revolvers were drawn by all, but the small squad of soldiers were greatly outnumbered by the police force and the large force of deputies with the sheriff, and the ar rest was effected without difficulty. On entering the coach, the officers found that It contained about 27 sol diers with Powers and Davis, the sol diers being under command apparently of Lieutenant Peake. Peake sprang to his feet at once and commanded the soldiers to clear the car. In an instant 20 revolvers were drawn by the officers and they all leveled at Peake, who gamely tried to pull his own revolver, but as he drew it from the scabbard a policeman smashed him across the hand with his club and prevented what would have undoubtedly resulted In a tragedy. DaviB and Powers were disguised. Both wore the regular soldier uniforms, complete, even as to the leggins. Davis had shaved off his moustache and goatee. He had $125 in money on his person and a revolver. There was found a pardon from Governor W. S. Taylor duly signed and sealed. BECKHAM'S STATE GUARD. The first move on the part of Govern or Beckham's followers toward the for mation of a state guard under his ad ministration was taken Sunday. City Clerk Ben Marshall circulated a paper and enlisted the requisite number of men who are to compose a new com pany. The guns for this company have been provided by citizens here, most of them being either needle guns or Winchesters. Governor Taylor's Soldiers who are on guard at the state house were re inforced Sunday by the arrival of the Barboursville company of 71 men, all of whom are fully armed and equipped. Governor Beckham appointed Col. David R. Murray of Clover Point as sistant adjutant-general with rank of colonel, and he was sworn in. The offi cial announcement was made that this appointment is only temporary. This w as regarded as significant.it being un derstood that Colonel Murray accepted the appointment on account of the gravity of the present situation and with the understanding that he could resign when the conditions in the state become more quiet. MORE ARRESTS EXPECTED. Today it seemed that the war scare here has again apparently flattened, though the leaders on both sides ex press fears as to the outcome. The be lief among Republicans that attempts would be made to arrest Republican legislators in connection with the as sassination of Governor Goebel result ed in several members leaving town. Demociatie officials refuse to either confirm or deny that such warrants have been issued, though admitting that more arrests w ill take place in a few days. It is asserted that Governor Taylor is being urged to move the executive offices to London, where he will be safe from possible arrest, but that so far he has refused to entertain the idea. Both houses of the legislature met this morning. In anticipation of a pos sible attempt by state troops to pre vent the meeting quite a crowd gath ered around the state house square at the hour of meeting, but the members of the legislature were allowed to meet without molestation. N COLLIER ARRIVES. Adjutant General Collier arrived here from Louisville and immediately held a short conference with Taylor. Col lier said Taylor had no intention of leaving Frankfort or of bringing any more troops here at present. Adjutant General Castleman arrived today and has been in conference with Governor Beckham and other leaders since that hour. The organisation of a new state guard under Beckham and Castleman is proceeding. Several companies In the state guard, as orig inally constituted, have gone over to Beckham, and it is understood that the new company organized here yesterday and the companies enlisted at Louis ville and other points in the state will be mustered in at once. The plans for the organization of the state guard are being perfected in anticipation of the passage of the Trip lett resolution hi the house tomorrow authorizing General Castleman to arm and equip the militia, recognising Beckham as governor, and carrying a special appropriation of $100,000 to put it Into effect. TAKEN TO LOUISVILLE. Louisville, Ky., Mxrch 12. Secretary of State Powers and Captain Davis were brought heref rom Lexington this morning and placed in the county Jail. The prisoners were driven from Lex ington to Lawrenceburg. where they took the Louisville Southern train for this city. - - SUMMER HOME FOLDER.

STABBED TO DEATH AT PONCE DE LEON TROUBLE BETWEEN NEGROES SUNDAY MORNING HAS A FA TAL TERMINATION. Yesterday morning between 3 and 4 o'clock, William Norman, colored, was fatally stabbed by William Henry Moore, also colored, at the "Ponce de Leon," a resort at Sycamore and Val ley streets. Immediately after receiving the wound Norman fled from the house, and after daybreak his body was found lying in the street, about 75 yards away. An inquest was held yesterday and the coroner's jury found that death re sulted from the wound inflicted by Moore, the latter's knife having enter ed the posterior part of the right shoul der, severing a large vein and artery. Moore stated that he was at his home in bed yesterday about 10 a. m., when told of Norman's death and that he immediately ate his breakfast and went to the house of Chief of Police Lyerly to surrender. On going home to breakfast Chief Lyerly found Moore awaiting him, and took him in custoday. Moore states that a row arose be tween him and Norman while they were engaged in a game of cards, and that the latter drew a teacup and was in the act of throwing it. He confesses he then stabbed him. He will be given a preliminary hearing this afternoon, and will be represented by Messrs. Brown and Carter. Norman was about 24 years old. and Moore, who is a barber, is about thp same age. The "Ponce de Leon" is a notorious resort, kept by Isaiah Johnson. The place was crowded during Saturday night bv a riotous crowd of negroes, justice Brown today ordered the prem ises vacated, and committed a number of its frequenters for gambling. HORSELESS CARRIAGE MAKES ITS APPEARANCE IT IS AN ADVERTISER. AND CUTS THE WIND AT A FORTY MILES AN HOUR GAIT. The newest steed turned up in Ashe ville this morning. It doesn't shy at trolly cars, and it stands anywhere without hitching. As a mover none of the famous kings or queens of the turf can touch it. "It" is .a locomobile the first seen ip Asheville and the second brought to North Carolina. Asheville people, usu ally first in everything new in the ve hicle line, are a bit behind on the loco and the auto, and so it was that the new steed's appearance attracted at tention like unto that won by one of the swarm of "funny farmer bands" we have had here lately. The loco was brought here b'y W. S. Dorr, who employs this up to date style in advertising Colgate & Co.'s Oc tagon soap. The - first Asheville man to take a trip on the steed was Grocer Clarence Sawyer. The trip was over Patton avenue, and when the steel ' animule" got down to work it bowled along at a 30 miles an hour clip. Mr. Sawyer held on to his hat ami wanted to yell, but refrained through fear of atti acting a crowd. The loco was then driven to The Cit izen office, where one of the force was coaxed onto the seat after the first ter rible paroxysm of fear had subsided and he had been blindfolded. Mr. Dorr turned the loco's nose down South Main and what happened in the fol lowing moments made the unbroken excursionist wonder whether he would be dumped into the Swannanoa or plunged headlong through Henderson ville. But neither was on the program. People lined up on the sidewalk as the English people did on the occasion of the queen's recent visit to London, but if there were any delirious shouts the excursionist doesn't recall them. One colored woman carrying a market bas ket came near unjointing her neck in giving the loco all the street it want ed, and some drivers dismounted to hold their horses as the steed of steel flew by. Usually they didn't have time to do this, for it was "clang," "whizz" and a horseless vehicle was seen speeding away down the street as if somebody's life depended on it. The trip was made beautifully, and the excursionist returned to the shop a breathless but happier man. He had "rid" on one of the "hossless kerridges" and was proud of it. The loco weighs 600 pounds, was made by the Locomobile company of America, and cost $1000. It is a gasoline machine, and can attain a speed of 40 miles an hour. It runs at a cost of less than one cent a mile. Mr. Dorr expects to remain in Ashe ville a week, advertising Octagon soap by the locomobile process. He had never seen the "critter," but he held the flyer down: Ht was breathless, hatless. coatless, 'cause the loco came to town. A RUSH FOR SEATS. Lens Line at the Paragon to Buy Tick ets for the Festival. The $5 seats for Asheville's great Music Festival went on sale this morn ing at the Paragon, and for some time before 9 o'clock people were in line wailing a chance to get choice seats. The sale began at 3. and for an hour and a half Mr. Murray was kept busy handing .out the pasteboards to those v. ho stood in line. It resembled the crush in the postoPiee Sunday after noons. Many of the $7.50 seats have already been sold, and latecomers who wanted the $5 seats today bought "the $7.50 seats in order to get choice. Chairman J. A. Nichols of the ticket committee was an interested watcher as the sale proceeded, and he. as well as the other gentlemen who have worked to give Asheville the big attraction, has good reason for being gratified by today's rales. The executive committee of the asso ciation met this afternoon at 4 oTlock at the old Library building on Church street. TWINS AT OWNBEY. Ownbey, N. C. March 12. Dr. W. P. Whittington of Asheville visited our place a few days ago and as a result there are twin babies at Mr. W. JE. Thompson's. Mrs. Thompson has given birth to three girls and one boy in less than 12 months. The last two. a boy and a girl, are living. The mother and they are doing well and it is thought that with good nursing Mr. Thompson will pull through. ' Do you run the garden? We would like to have your seed list and start early.

THE BUILDING WAS A F1RETRAP, AND THE TENANTS HAD ONLY THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE OF ESCAPE. Newark, N. J., March 12. Fifteen persons, the majority of whom were ciiildren, were burned to death in a tenement house at Morris and Four teenth avenues about 5 this morning. Thirteen bodies were recovered ' from the ruins within three hours after the Moors, forming a veritable firetrap. The building was a three-story frame structure, formerly used as a church, but had been transformed into a tenement with small rooms, scarcely 8x10 feet, opening into a narrow hall way on both the second and third floors, forming a veritable firetrap. This is the heart of the Italian dis trict and the greatest excitement pre vailed. This feeling has been greatly intensified since 7 o'clock, when it first became known that the fire was of in cendiary origin, and within 15 minutes of the time when this report was first circulated, men and women well nigh crazed by grief, ran tearing around the streets looking for the man who is re sponsible for the frightful tragedy and threatening all sorts of dire vengeance. Three or four minutes after 5 the fire was discovered, but long before the tire apparatus reached the scene the In terior of the burning tenement was peopled with wild Italians running hither and thither, unable to find a means of escape. Every room emptied Its occupants into the narrow little halls, and there was no escape for the frightened ten ants because of the Jam, and ..hey could not get out. There were at least 12 families in the place. 60 persons in all, of whom per haps 50 were children unable to care for themselves. Four men jumped from a front window. Several were hurt. The flames spread with frightful ra pidity and the wind sent sparks to the southeast, threatening all frame tene ments in that direction. The place was like a roaring caldron when the fire men reached it. Ladders were quickly put in position and then began the work of rescue. One after another women and then men were taken down, while other firemen devoted their attention to drowning out the flames. This they succeeded in doing In less than an hour, but during that hour a frightful sacri fice of life had been offered. Partial list of tfie dead; Tony Pal minsino, 34 years; his wife and two children; Mrs. Eugeno Cassllo and four children ; Mrs. Nunciata Baldi and child; Mrs. Gaetani Palminsino. Vito credavo was locked up on sus picion of having set -fire to the build ing. Credavo with his wife and two children occupied the rear portion of one of the upper stories. Virginia Diprula, a boarder, told Captain Ed wards that when he was awakened by smoke he found Credavo and his fami ly fully dressed and, ready to leave the burning building. When Credavo was taken to the sta tion house he became much excited, but denied that he set fire to the build ing or had any knowledge as to the origin of the fire. JUDGE GILLIS' DEATH. The End Came Saturday Afternoon at His Home in This City. Judge Calvin Gillis died late Satur day afternoon at his residence, 167 North Main street, after an illness of several months. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock from the house. The services were conducted by Dr. R. F. Campbell, pas tor of the First Presbyterian church, of which the deceased was a member. At the request of the deceased the funeral was private and very simple, and no crepe or other insignia of mourning was used.

Benson, a resident of Vic toria, and a former employe of the Vanderbilt estate, became insane last week, and his Insanity caused him to be afflicted with a curious hallucina tion, and to perform some curious acts. Saturday evening he succeeded in se curing entrance to Biltmore House. He did this by swimming the Swannanoa liver and first securing entrance to the estate in this way. He went to the rear of the mansion and entered through the kitchen. He was put out by the watchman. Yes terday he made three more attempts to enter the estate, and twice was .unsuc cessful, being stopped at the entrance gate. The third time he succeeded In getting in. Benson labors under the hallucina tion that he Is Captain Dreyfus. He thinks his enemies are pursuing him all the time. He believes they have succeeded in charging him with elec tricity, and . consequently he is - very careful not to step on street car rails or any place where he thinks the con tact might injure him. Application will be made to have Benson adjudged insane and placed in the state hospital. However, he will probably have to remain in jail here, as the hospital is already filled. IT WAS THE PLAGUE.

BOBS SOON TO BE AT BLOEMFONTEIN London Expects Him to Reach There Wednesday. No Doubt He Will Accomplish His Objective. RUMORS OF THE RELIEF OF MA FEKING CONTINUE TO CIRCU LATE, BUT THEY FAIL OF CONFIRMATION. London, March 12. At the present rate of progress Lord Roberts should be at Bloemfontein Wednesday, though all calculations may be upset by the development of more strenuous resist ance than the Boers have'so far at tempted. The distance btween Lord Roberts and the Free State capital is now so small, only about 25 miles.that it is apparent the Boers either contem plate making a determined stand" on the outskirts of the town, or, for strat egic reasons best known to themselves, allowing Lord Roberts to occupy it af ter merely hairassing his advance. The numerical superiority of the British troops leaves no doubt in the minds of critics here that Lord Roberts will accomplish his immediate objec tive, the occupation of Bloemfontein The commander in chief's latest dis patch announcing that General Gatacre is at Bethulie bridge and specials say ing that Gatacre commands the bridge approaches, put the Boers in that vi cinity between two British forces. However, there is a large plain be tween them, and the main body of the Boers now confronting Lord Roberts with its ceaseless activity may be quite able to cover the retreat of the burgh ers confronting Gatacre. Once the British are in possession of the railroad from Bethulie to Bloem fontein. a Junction at the Kt,i capital of General Gatacre and Rob erts will be a matter of a very few days. i Rumors of the relief of Mafeking continue to circulate, but fail of confir mation, j ,i From Natal, which Buller so erro neously declared was free of Boers, and from Cape Colony, where General Kitchener's stern hand is upon the re bellion, there is no news of anv im portance.
