John Powers told me they had : two niggers here to kill Goebel. They were Hocker Smith and Dick Coombs." ' , This statement was made today by F. Wharton Golden, a frail, consumptive looking Kentucky mountaineer, while on the witness stand in the-preliminary ex amination of Secretary of State Caleb rowers, charged with conspiracy to . kill Goebel, Golden told a stor y 6f tne events leading up to the mordor, that, i if sub stantiated will, in the minds .of those connected with the prosecution at least probably go far toward the , contention of the commonwealth that the murder was the result of a plan in which several prominent men were involved, v Whether the defence will seek to impeach Golden's testimony in this preliminary: examina tion is not known, as the "attorneys for the defense will not talk on the subject. but unless such attempt is 'made the com monwealth will rest its case, both County Attorney, PolBgrove and Attorney Camp bell being satisfied that enough evidence has been presented to hold the defendant on the charges.

March 23 The in- tensity of the feeling in the Republican party of Indiana on the Porto Rico ques tion is perhaps. unprecedented in the po litical history oi tne state. What was originally a storm of indignation, cheated by the action of the house, has developed into a veritable cyclone of condemnation and it is raging more violently today than at any time, t So universally unpop ular is the tariff proposition that it has practically - no defenders. Every news paper in Indiana of any consequence denounces it. The news from Washington, printed yesterday morning,., that Senator Bev- eridgehad decided to postpone his speech, pending the effort to reach a compromise. occasioned the greatest disappointment among the senators mends. They im mediately concluded that he had been another victim of "administration pres sure;' that, like Representative Watson, he had been "whipped into line," or was about to be. Criticism- of the junior sen ator was heard on every side, much of it of the sharpest, kind, and this was in dulged in unsparingly by the very Re publicans who bad been loudest in their praise of Mr. Beveridge the day before. But today there is a change of sentiment and the resentment is directed toward Chairman Hanna and other leaders in congress, rather than toward the young senator, who, it is now understood, will pluckily .stand . by hig convictions and vote for free trade. The Republicans of Iudiana absolutely refuse to accept the house tariH bill as a party measure and they are titter in the extreme in their denunciation of the e"ort to silence Sena tor I3everii9 and to rrevent ti3 enter ing a protest ia behalf cf the Indiana. iped Boers Rallying to Meet Roberts at Kroonstadt. Boer Camp, Kroonstadt, March 22. Affairs are being put ' in proper shape, ani the Free Staters who bad to leave are returning in crowds.

Arrested at the a Deaf and . Dumb Henry SIgman Instance of Girl. . Roxboro, N C, March 24. Henry Sig- man wits arrested today at the instance of Etta Brooks, a deaf-mute, who charges that he committed an assault upon her last August.

She says that he threatened to kill her if she told on him , and that she feared he would carry out his threat.
