PAHTY LEADERS CONFER Both Si le Seem to 11 Slncfrly Try ioj to A Just Trouble Taylor Rr fu,,g to Krvok Orler Convenlvg I, siIatur at Loudon. yr.KroRT. Er-. Feb. 5. William E. CTk.-ebi, who was shot by an un known assassin iast Tuesday, died at t:4o oV.cck Saturday evening. Tue only persons present at the death be i were Governor Goebel's sister, Mrs. f WILLIAM E. GOEBEL. Encnicker. and his brother, Arthur Gee be i cf Cincinnati, who hare been in ccastaur attendance at Goyernor Goe bel'a bedside. iu:us Goebel, another brother, who has been hurrying from Arizona as fast as s:eam would carry him in a Tain bepe of reaching his dying brother in nnie fcr some token of recognition, ar rived 40 miuutes too late. Auuug bitser partisans of both par t C5 deep rnef is manifested, and al re.iir a movement has been started to ert-c:a :::n,; monument for Governor G-erTl's memory on the spot in the sMtra-e prcnads where he was shoi Lsct.v oaa hoar after the death of ilr Gee'bcl J. C. W. Eeckham was sworn ;a as governor of the state, the ca:a te::: administered by S. J. Shack elford, clerk of the court of appeals. Govern r Taylor today gave an em pra ic denial to the report that he had revoked thd crder convening the legis lature at L ndoa, Ky. , and ordering the lerrulatme to sit at Frankfort tomor row. He msda a written statement to th:seff-cr, and afterward, in an inter view with aa Associated Press repre sentor. ve. said: , "At the present moment there is no turning tack. The legislature will con vene .it Lon ion. where it will contiune to fit nniess there is a change of policy in the inrure uoc yet determined upon. " Adjutant General Collier thu morn ic? would not say whether or not the legislature would be permitted to meet, lu: called special attention to the fact that since Saturday no demand had beeu made by the members of the leg is a:cre for the right to meet. He allowed it to be understood that they would not be molested, saying that it was ample time to decicswhat to do w u she demand for admission to the rr nads had bjen made. It is beh-ved both sides are sincerely trvm to had a basis on which negotia tions for a peaceful settlement may be conducted. A desire on both sides to make advantageous terms is but natural and the leaders are proceeding cau t.cus'y. Tee differences between the standi taken by the two parties are so radical that progress is necessarily slow, lu: the events at Frankfort within the past '4 hours have made for peace and on amicable adjustment of the trouble is esp?cted. Governor Taylor's statement that the crirr convening the legislature at Lon co:: has not been revoked is not re g.ried by these wno know the nature of ta-3 latest peace negotiations as less ening the dances of such an adjust ment. Givptnor T-ylor Eijilned. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. S. Judge Can trell of the circuit court this morning granted a temporary injunction re straining Governor Taylor from inter fering with the meetings-of the legis lature and from removing the seat of the legislature to London, Ky.

IK ?r0' TAYLOR REFUSES TO RATIFY AGREEMENT Governor Says He Wants Time to Consider It. LOUISVILLE CONFERENCE Seven Republicans and as Many Dem ocrats Sign a Paper Which 31ay Bring About a Settl e in n t Beck bam to Ba Chief Executive. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 6. Governor Taylor has refused for the time being, at least, to sign the agreement reached last night in Louisville. He was closeted for a long time this morning with Gen eral Daniel Lindsay, T. L. Edelen and T. IL Baker of Louisville, and finally told the gentlemen tnat he wished time to consider and would let them know when he had reached a decision. Mr. Baker, after leaving the confer ence, was asked his opinion of the prob able result and replied: "I hope and believe that everything will be settled peaceably." The others expressed a similar opin ion, although all of them stated that they were giving personal opinions and not speaking in any sense for Governor Taylor. The news of the agreement reached last night in Louisville was received with great relief in Frankfort. The strain of the last ten days has beeu very great and any lessening of tension was most welcome to members of both parties. Not a single member of the legisla ture. Democratic or Republican, is in the city and none are expected before late in the afternoon or tomorrow. Governor Taylor refused to discuss the agreement until it had been brought to him. He said it was neither right nor courteous for him to do so. He, however, made the assertion that if the Goebel law was repealed and an election law given to tne peopie oi nentocnj which would insure a fair and honest count of the votes as cast, he would allow uo personal ambition of his own to stand in the way of a peaceful ad justment of the troubles. It was 10:30 o'clock before Judge Yost and Mr. Sweeney, the Republican attorneys, aiired from Louisviile, Gen eral Daniel Lmdsay of Louisville being with them. They had the agreement and carriad it at once to Governor Tay lor's office and the doer was locked upon ail outsiders. It was generally believed that Gov ernor Taylor would accept the agree ment, although he had given no positive assurance that he would doeo. Agrrrmont Signed. A peace conference held at the Gait House in Louisville last night between seven representatives of the Rspnblican party and seven representatives of the Democratic party resulted in the unan imous signing of an agreement embody ing 6ix specific propositions, which promise a settlement of the party differ ences which have brought about two state governments in Kentucky. This agreement is in substance as follows: 1. That if the general assembly in joint session shall adopt a resolution ratifying their recent action adopting the contest reports seating Goebsl and Beckham, the contestees, W. S Taylor and John Marshall, shall submit with out farther protest. v That all oarties snail unite vi an effort tn hrinsr about such amodific nt tha pWtinn law as will orovid non-parti;-an election boards and insu' free and fair elections. 3. That conditions shall remain in 0atu quo until Monday, the general ussembly meeting and aljourlng from day to day until that time. 4 That nothing shall be done to hinder or prevent a joint session of the general assembly for taking action on the ratification resolution. 5. That the state contest board shall meet and adjourn from day W day until Tuesday without taking any action on tho contests for minor state offices. This postponement is suggested in order that tne action of the. general assembly on the ratification resolution may be taken first. 6. That the state troops shall be re moved from the state capital at once, though with all necessary precaution for tae public safety. 1. That the Republican officials and officers of the state guard shall have immunity from charges of treason, usurpation, courtmartial or any othe 6uch offenses. The agreement was signed by the fol lowing: Republicans John Marshall. Jodge W. J. Barr. General Dan Lindsay, T. L. Edellen, Dr. T. H. Baker, David W. Farleigh. T. C. BallarJ. Democrats J. S O. Blackburn, J. O. W. Beckham, Sam J. Shackelford, Urey Woodson. James B. McCreary, Phil Thompson, Robert J. Breckinridge. Taylor Attitude. The agreement in full was not given out last night, as it was desired first to submit it to Governor Taylor for bis signature. It was stated by the Repub licans present that Governor Taylor would agree to anything that all of them signed. 1 . It was stated in the conference that the London session of the general as sembly would be called off at once. The conference began at 5 o'clock yes terday afternoon at the Gait House and" lasted until fc:&0 o'clock this morning, when a typewriter was sent for and the agreement was prepared and signed. Until Monday, while the situation is in statu quo. Governor Taylor will re main in possession of the executive buildings, while the Republicans will recogn.za him and tho Democrats will recognize Governor Backbam as gov ernor. - After the conference Governor B3ok ham at onro took a train tor Frankfort. Sena'or B ackburu and ox Governor. McCreary rema ned in Louisviile over night. ... s,. The course of events m the immedi ate future depend, it reiy upon Gov ernor Taylor. An important irrflu?nc9, in shaping the Republican oio has been, no doubt, the lack of support from the na tional administration for the course pur sued by Governor Baylor since he as sumed office. a. Tbe latest manifestation of feelingr at Washington is the following telegram ram Senator Deboe, which was 1st ths avion e lor ban is of the Republican conferees be fore last night's meeting: "The unanimous sentimant here is that you are wrong in preventing the legislature from meeting, and that you Bhould submit the disputed questions to the civil courts. Federal assistance cannot be given you on your requisition so long as the legislature is in session or can bo convened. There is no doubt but it can be convened if you will per mit. The Democrats intend tllat if any violence occurs, you shall be the ag gressor. You will by forcible resistance alienate all who formerly sympathized with your case. No assistance. An swer." BODY REACHES COVINGTON. Funeral Instead of Reception Plannad by Goebel'a Friends. Ccvixoton, Ky., Feb. 6. The special Goebel funeral train arrived here at 8 o'clock this morning from Frankfort. It consisted of a baggage car with the casket and floral tributes, a coach for the pallbearers, judges of the appellate court, legislative committee and others and a Pullman with the relatives. It was an impressive scene when the easket was removed from the Capitol hotel at Frankfort. The hearse, fol lowed by carriages and many pedes trians, proceeded under the electric lights to the special train, which left at 4 a. m. on the mourn tul journey. In anticipation of Goebel's induction as governor his Covington friends had been arranging for a grand reception, about this time, on his first return as governor, instead of a funeral. On the tram were those who had breakfasted with William Goebel one week ago to day, and they said no man could have been more cheerful or hope:ul then than he. , , Although the train made no stop ex cept at junctions, yet there were groups at the stations along the way to see it even in the darkness of the wintry morning. The demonstration in honor of Goebel in the city and county which he had represented in the state senate for 13 years was peculiar and simple. A large detail of police was stationed about the depot and atiotber detail kept the s'reets clear from the depot to the Odd Feliows hail, where the-body lies in state. It was impossible to estimate the number of people along the line of march and at Odd Fellows hall, during the first hour after the arrival of the funeral"irain, but only a small portion could gain entrance during the early hours under the guidance of the officers. The remains lie in stare here until 10 p. m. and ihen thy will be in charge of a guard during the nighr aud be con veyed back to Frankfort by special train for the funeral at that placa on Thurs day.

BMKMO POttOE OO, : . . ; ' , ' ROCKINGHAM, N. C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1900. THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA Duller Recrosbs the Tugela and Hopes to Relieve White. The British forces under Buller have again advanced and will males a final, desperate effort to reach General White and his beleaguered garrison before the latter is compelled to surrender to the Boers, who are reported to be constantly strengthening their positions. The war office is silent as regards General Buller, but there is every reasont to believe he is continuing his move ment upon Ladysmith. Those who are in a position to know confirm his re ported recrossing of the Tugela river and believe he was engaged Friday. The message from Ladysmith Thurs day, saying the Boor fo'roes were leav ing again and that the besieging force was considerably diminished, tendsto confirm it. W.irren's troops on Wednesday were resting south of the Tugela. while Gen eral Lyttle ton's brigade held its posi tion on the north bank. General Joubert has gone to the Boer camp on the Upper Tugela, an apparent indication that he expeots another aft taok on his right. Major Bathurst, who wag wounded at the battle of Oelenso, bar arrived it Southampton on board the Sarvia. He savs there are 20,000 Boers at the Tu gela river, but that General Buller can f tt throuzh if he is prepared to sacrifice ,000 or I..O0O meu. General Charles Tucker, who oame from India to command the seventh division, has gone up the Modder river. The reported activity of Colonel Piumer'a force near Orooodi'e Poot is a good sign that a strong effort will be made by him to push through to Mafe king. Hurjhfr Casualties. A dispatch from Ladysmith, undated, via Spearman's Camp, Feb. 2. says: "Native deserters report the follow ing field coronets kii'ed in last week's fighting: Lombard of Waterburg; Gr ibeloir of Bremersdorp; Opperman of. Pretoria; Daniel Erasmus of Maga liersburg, and one Freo State coronet The British artillery broke Beven Boer guns. .The Boer casualties were approximated- 1 000; thouzh this informa tion is not confirmed ( ffioially. " Commandant O'dvit-r of the Orange Free State, in a speech to the Boers at Lady Grey, paid that his men were al most surrounded at Srormbrg and un less recruits wore forthcoming ha wouid be compelled to abandon the position. It is reported that in the recent fight at LadvEmirh the Boers 1 st 1,100 killed and 600 wonnded. Many coiouisfs who fought at Storm berg are said to have gone back to their farms and refused to return to active service, houghithrealpjutd w.ith death. J Among thosj era some conspicuous burghers, who orisrinally invited the Frfl Staters t invade Cape Colony. Very lit tie news of the situation in Sou tu Arnca lius been given out in London during the past 24 hours. Much work is in progress on ths southern frontier of the Free Stare, but the de tails are baing held b.ick until results can be reported. This is the impres sion made by suoh dispatches as are allowed to come through from Stork stroem and French's camp, near Coles berg. The report that the Boer losses at Spion Kop of Wednesday Jast exceeded 1,000 daad. although unconfirmed, has created a favorable impression and very few ere disposed to discredit it. Field Marshal Lord Roberts has noti fied the war office that 40 Highlanders who were previously reported killed at Magersfontein are prisoners at Pretoria. D?8perute Fighting. A special dispatch from Durban, Na tal, dated Feb. 5, says: "There is no definite news from Gen eral Buller, but it is reported that there was heavy fighting yesterday." It was just one week today that Gen eral Bniler announced that he would be in Ladysmith in a week. He has not kept his word. The war office statement that it has received no confirmation of the report that General Bniler has recrossed the Tugelaeriver has failed to shake public belief that operations of tremendous im portance are proceeding at tha Tugela and it is thought that either the denial was prompted by a desire to keep the military movements as secret as possi ble until something is accomplished, or that General Buller is keeping the home officials in the darK pending results. It is obviously extremely diffionlt to extract the truth from the conflicting statements shrouding General Bailer's movement, but the commentators agree that the aggregate of tho items tend to confirm the belief that movements of importance are in progress. It is true that the correspondents at General Buller's headquarters convey the impression that his main force is still south of the Tugela, but it is easily conceivable that the dispatches are all censored. Napoleonic Campaign. No news at all has been received from the armies co-operating in Cape Colony nrf ihnre is much speculation in Lon don as to the plans ot Lord Roberts and the mysterious movements of Lord Kitchener. The general idea is that thev are preparing some Napoleonic campaign tnat wUl bring the war to a speedy finish. Dispatches from Spearman's Camp, dated Fridav, Saturday and Sunday, are pub-ished in Loudon this morning. On Friday heiiographio communica tion with Ladysmith was resumed, mes sages passing freely; the Boars were busy shelling the town, and burial par ties of Boers were burying their dead at Spion Kop, thoush nine days had eiapsed since the battle. Oa Saturday the bombardment of Ladvsmith was lighter. From Chieve ley General Barton cannonaded the Oo lenso lines, employing the naval gun. The Boers, as usual, appeared at Oo lenso, but retreated when the British artillery opened. The day was quiet at Potgieters. There was no cannonading by the Brit ish guns. The Boers enjoyed this immnnity from aVsjck and could bo seen in large ; numbers dring their blankets and working to strgthen and add to their defensive workaX The Boers arourfl Potgieters seemed intent on watching every movement of our troops. TheV could be seen riding or walking along their works in care less fashion. nnnAers of them epjing through their glaifea, 1 I ANDREWS ISSUES A DENIAL.

Forty-four Mormon elders working in South Caro lina met here yesterday. President An derson, of the southern mission field, made an address. They rejoiced to work in a section they were unmolested, and the people were liberal in views. There were, he said, 1,800 Mormons in South Carolina and 10,000 in 11 southern states. They believed in po lygamy as the south had believed in slaves. Like the south, they fought for what they believed in, had lost and sur rendered, not their principles, but their teachings. The Mormon church was making great progress and was the best organ ized of any church. Five hundred elders were in tbe field, receiving not a cent of compensation. Three sessions were held during the day. All the elders stopped at one of the best hotels. A JOCKEY CLUB DISBANDS. Property Donated to the Charleston Library Association. Charleston, Feb. 3. Some valuable and historic property was transferred here yesterday when the South Carolina -Jockey Club Racing association, which flourished in Charleston for 12 years, decided to disbaud the organization and donate its holdings as an endowment fund for the Charleston library. The property, which includes the old Washington race course, is worth $100,- 000.. Under the laws of the-jockey club its property could not be sold and on this account the efforts to purchase the race course a few years ago by one of the Dwyers failed. The club was organized in 1834 , and the races given here were the greatest events of the kind of that day and time. The donation was accepted by the li brary association. AN AGED LADY CREMATED.

For a great many years doctor? pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constant failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & (Jo., Toledo, O., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally, in doses, from lo drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces ofthe system. They offer one hundred dollars for any cape it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonial?.
