TAYLOR APPEALS TO FEDERAL COUR1 Petitions Judge Evany lo Issue Restraining Order Against Goebel LEGISLATURE UNCONSTITUTIONALLY USURPED POWER Lieut. Gv. Beckham Nw Acting as 6v. trior while Goebel I III Appoints ; Castleman Adj. ;ieneral Goebel's Conditio Shows Some Improvement. CAN'T LIVE AN HOUR Washington, Feb. 3. Tbe refusal of the national administration to respond to Governor Taylor's appeal for Federal recognition of him as Governor, it Is said by .a metnber of the Cabinet, meant that Gov. Taylor would probably be un seated. President McKinley and his Cabinet regret this. They are convinced that Gov. Taylor was. elected rightfully, and that the action of Goebel, in control of the board and the Goebel legislature in declaring Goebel elected, was improp er, . but tbey realize that thus far the Kentucky legislature has acted within Its right under the law and that Inter ference by Federal authority would be wrong. Senator Lindsay of Kentucky has as sured the legislature that they proceed ander the Goebel law and that there is nothing the Taylor government can do but submit. TAYLOR APPEALS TO FEDERAL COURT. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 3. After having been refused by President McKinley the help form the Federal government, which he desired, Governor Taylor ban decided to appeal to the Federal courts. He will today ask Federal Judge Bvana to Issue a writ of injunction restraining Governor Goebel from acting as Gov ernor of Kentucky. This course was .definitely decided upon here early this morning at a conference of leading Republican attorneys. Ex Governor Bradley will probably lead in the argument before the Judge in ad vocacy' of his granting the writ. It is expected that the petition of Gov, Taylor to Judge Bvans. will .con tain these chief points: That Governor Taylor undoubtedly had a majority of the votes cant in the late election and that bis political opponents, officially called upon to pass on the said .election, so decided. That an attempt of the Democratic legislature to unseat him is a usurpation of power and unconstitutional. That the declaration of Goebel being Governor, made by the Democratic leg islature, is void, as Gov. Taylor had ad journed the Legislature, and any legis lation Interim Is illegal. That Gov. Taylor had the power to adjourn the legislature, as he deemed an insurrection exifted in the State, and he alone is the Governor and the Judge of the Raid Insurrection. GOEBEL IMPROVING. Frankfort, Feb. 3. Attending physic ians this morning reported that Gov. Goebel was resting quii'tly. His gen eral condition has showed a distinct im provement. BECKHAM ACTING GOVERNOR. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 3 Lieutenant Governor Beckham, who was declared elected on the ticket with Goebel and sworn in at the same time as Goebel, will today be acting Governor in place of Goebel. A physician's certificate was made out last night declaring that Governor Goebel would be unable for some time to exercise the power of his position as ' Governor. Acting Governor Beckham will imme diately exercise all of these power. His first appointment will probilily i G-n. John JB. Castleman as Adjutant .fw-n-eral.

To the Bditos of Times-Visitor. - I wish to endorse heartily the card signed "Stenographer," in your paper ol yesterday. It is an evidence of tbe growing interest in physical culture and a recognition of the need for muscular exercise.' A well ordered gymnasium is a powerful factor in promoting the health and morals of a community. In this connection it might be well to state that for some time I have ba under consideration plans for the es tablishment of a Gymnasium Club in Raleigh. The work done so far has consisted in talking to a few of those most interested, corresponding with ex perts'' as to methods of management. ' looking about for a suitable location and making probable negotiations for the purchase of apparatus. As soon as '.he planB(are matured, I hope to enlist the names of a sufficient number of men, who are anxious to obtain the benefit of properly directed exercise under a com- ' petent instructor.

THE MARKET HOUSE MATTER A Call for Mass Meeting of Business Men and Preperty Owners Vrlws of Business Men. "There will be a mass ine.;ting of business men, property owners iid all who arc interested in ihe prnpos tien to sell the market house, at Metropoli tan Hall Tuesday evening, February 6, at eight -'.!oek." The above notice was sont to The Times-Visitor today. This is a result of the action of the Board last night when it determined to advertise for bids for the Bale of the Market House, which has been construed by some to mean that the Board intends to. sell, and by others that the Board wishes to learn what is the true valua tion of the property, with a view, in case it in a reasonable valuation, to selling the site and erecting an auditorium with the money obtained from the sale. The meeting is not called for the purpose of opposing the plan, but for n thorough discussion of the subject in its various phases that the public may thoroughly understand what is taking place, and whether it is tbe proper thing to do. Mr. A. B. Rtronach, w-ho is one of the leaders in the movement for a mass meeting for a general discussion of the matter, stated that this is a matter upon which the Board of Aldermen should not take action without feeling the pulse of the entire city. He says it is a question in which the business men and property owners should and will have a say. Mr. C. B. Edwards is of the opinion that the Market House should not be sold. He ventured the estimate this morning that not ten men out of every hundred in Raleigh will be found to r.i vor the salo of that building. There are others who have the same view as Mr. Edwards, and there are those who agree with Mr. Stronach, also others who believe that the plan is for the good of the city and who can see no harm in the receiving of bids by tho Board of Aldermen. A member of the Chamber of Com merce speaking of the matter, said: "It is a question that deserves the consideration of the entire population of Raleigh, especially the Chamber of Commerce, and it is to' le' hoped that this important matter will bring together a number of business men who have up to this time stood aside from the Chamber of Commerce. This Is a good time for them to take interest and I am glad to see that something will bring them out. "It has been proposed, and I approve the suggestion, that PresiJent W. N. .Tones, of the Chamber of Commerce, call a meeting of the Chamber for Tues day evening and that the meeting which the citizens have decided to hold, be held tinder the ttoikx auspices; that is, as a body with authority to act and an organization already perfected."

A Timely Suggestion to the Street Committee of the Board. To the Editors of the Times-Visitor: The ri'isiit of tho Street Committee submitted lat night is quite interesting since it Mutes that the balance of bond money, .f.Vl.OtHi, available after March 1st, will be devoted to macadamising, and says: "It, is our purpose to do very little curbing, if any, in the future." The owners of property on the west side of South Blount street from Newbern avenue to Shaw University would like to say that the Street Committee has been asked time and time again to curb that street. North Blount street and the extreme end of South Blount street below Lenoir street has been curbed, leaving about six blocks uncurbed be tween these two points. The Street Committee says that these six blocks will have to have an under-drain and that this will cost considerable money. Every one knows that this part of I'lount street is one of the most used as well as one of the most prominent in tbe city, and a walk down that street will reveal the fact that unsightly holes and gulleys from four to eight feet deep remain as a danger to pedestrians and some dark night the city will find if suit on its hinds through loss of limb or life. While the Street Committee has done a great work, and has been commend ed for it, it is also justice to say that a great many streets have been eut down at an enormous expense, which were very little used. These streets have also been macadamized at a great expense, while this little under-drain on Blount street has been a great uigbtmare and Blount street's ditch and gulley on the west side has remained with puddles of water and rank weeds through summer. Is it possible that the street committee will allow this street to remain as it is because it will cost something to put m the under-drain to e-irry off the large volume of water that finds its way to this street fr.mi the northern section of the city ,:in.l will continue to allow the sidewalks to be washed dow n, and the square belnw Cabarrus street still re tain the old deep gulley where the side walk ought to lie. and force the pedes trians to walk in Uie middle of the road, as they have been doing since the writ er's reeollcctioi, JO.
