and It wns apparent that Mr. Goabel under
stood what was Bald to htin.
Shortly after this Dr. Tallaferro left the
room nmf , 'descending the stairs , entered the
indies' reception room where , at the re-
ejucst oT Bovcral women , wives of leglsla-
i rs , ho held brief services. Then the dlvlno
In went to Mr. Goebcl'a bedside and about
minutes afterward took his departure.
t lovtly nfter 4 o'clock the dying man wns
ngaln given oxygen , and again a slight rally
resulted , but It wns only temporary. His
respiration gradually grow moro laborious ,
and rose to 53 , while his pulsa dropped to
120. At 6:10 : p. in , Dr. Hume left the dying
man's bedside ami reported to tlm throngs
of tinxlous watchers In the corridors of the
hotel that death was a matter of but a few
moments' time. The oxygen treatment WOT
used constantly In a , desperate effort to keep
Mr. Goobel ullvo until Justus Goobel's ar
rival , 'but ' no effort was made to arouse the
unconscloim man.
As Or. Iltimo departed from the room the
ninictcd brother and sister turned to Dr.
McCormack nnd requested that they bo left
entirely nlono with their brother , who was
fast/hlnklug , The physicians silently with
drew nnd closed tbo doors , leaving behind
them tbo grlef-strlckcn brother and sister ,
ffllently they knelt nt his bedside , their eyes
fastened an the half-open eyelids of the un-
e-cnsclous man. Ho could give no sign of
further recognition , and yet ho was not ob-
EDlutcly unconscious ,
Alone with Their Ileiul.
Scarcely breathing themselves , the
brother und sister bent over the deathbed
listening to the ehort , sharp gusps of death
and praying that the Ufa might bo spared
until their brother Justus from Ailzona
could arrive. Their prayers woru In vain.
Even au they watched the pulsations became

thnt a few miles away , hurrying to them wna
their brother Justus , who would nrrlve toe
late , sat down upon the deathbed alone
with their dead. Not a sound emanated
" "
from the room to apprise "the anxious
watchers In the hotel corridors without that
Goobel bad passed away.
The stricken brother nnd sister were left
undisturbed , while the two physicians out
side the door anxiously looked at their
watches as the minutes flow by , fearing the
truth , yet wondering at the long silence.
Finally , at 7:20 : , the train bearing Justus
Goebel pulled Into Frankfort. At the sta
tion were Urey Woodson , Samuel J. Shac-
kclford , clerk ot the court of appeals , nnd
Mayor Rhlnoch of Covlngton. They met
Mr. Ganhel at the car stops.
" 1.1 he dead ? Tell me , Is ho dead ? " were
the flrst words be uttered ,
"Ho Is not dead , " was the assurance
given him by the friends who had no Inkling
of the truth ,
The party entered a carriage and five min
utes later , at 7:25 : o'closk , arrived at the
Capltil hotel. With tears streaming from
his eyes Justus Goebcl was conducted to tbo
chamber whore lay his brother. The rap at
the door was answered by Arthur t/oebel ,
who silently drew his brother within and
again closed the door. Five minutes later
Arthur Goebol again opened the door and
motioned to the two physlclano.
"Ho died nt 0:46 : o'clock , painlessly , " was
all he said , aud then closed the door. There
was no excitement In tbo corridor. Those
who heard the words of Arthur Goebol were
reverently silent and did not disseminate
the Intelligence. Within a few moments the
following announcement had been prepared
and was silently read In the hotel and
streets :
.Announcement to the 1'iilillc.
To the People of Kentucky : It IB with
the most profound sorrow that wo an
nounce the dcnth of Governor William
Goebcl. In bis last moments he counselled
his friends to keep cool and bow to thn luw
In all things. We , hlx friends and advisers ,
beg of the people of Kentucky , In this hour
of uflllctlon , to carefully abstain from any
net of violence or any resort to mob law. It

there be absolutely no stain on his memory

no formal Inquest over the remains. Tbla

FRANKFORT , Ky. , Feb. 3. Chll nnd
military authority In Kentucky have come
face to facent last , and unless the minis
ters of one or the other recede from the
positions they occupy tonight , there can
be but one outcome , nnd that Is glvll war.
Governor Taylor must within forty-eight
hours surrender to the circuit court o !
Franklin county the person of Alonzo
Walker , now held In custody by him In
the state executive bulldlngi or Sheriff Sutcr
of Franklin county , with a powerful possu
at hla back , will attempt his release by
force , nnd It Is hardly within the rnngo
of possibilities that the attempt can be
made without bloodshed or loss of life.
If once blood Is shed In an armed con
flict In the streets of Frankfort , It Is be
yond the wisdom of any man to tell how
far the llnmo of strife will spread.
Hack In the mountain counties of Laurel ,
Knox , Whltely , Pike and Clay arc thousands
of mountaineers who believe that Governor
Taylor has suffered grievous wronga at the
hands of his political opponents and who
are ready to lay down their lives In bis
cause. In various counties of the state arc
democratic partisans , apparently more than
willing to shed their blood that the suc
cessor of William Goebcl shall hold the
chair to which they believe the dead leader
was legally elected.
Governor Taylor this afternoon refused to
acknowledge the existence or permit the
service of a writ of habeas corpus Issued
by Ju'dgo Moore of the county court. He
thus tacitly suspends the writ of habeas
corpus In the courts of Franklin county ,
something which under the constitution ol
Kentucky cannot bo done legally except
in cases of rebellion or invasion.
.Sheriff to lli Given Power.
When Sheriff Sutcr returned his writ tin-
served to Judge Moore the latter announced
that ho would sec that the sheriff was given
power sufficient to enforce the mandate ol
hls < court. In so declaring he used the foi-
Ion Ing words :
"No nttemnt will be made to enforce the
writ until Monday. At that time another
demand will bo made for the body of Alonzo
Walker and It It Is refused a sufficient
number of men will bo given to Sheriff
Sutcr from Franklin county and from ad
joining counties as well to enable him to
tuko possession of the capital grounds nnd
carry out the purpose of the writ. "
The democratic loaders do not entirely
endorse the attitude of Judge Moore and ,
while they assert his stand Is right nnd just ,
they do not consider It nt the present time
advisable. It Is possible that before , the
time set by Judge Moore for the service ol
the writ ho may be Induced to alter his at
titude. Unices ho does , or Governor Taylor
acknowledges the service of the writ and
recognizes the existence of the state courts ,
an armed conflict In the streets of the capi
tal of Kentucky certain.
Shortly after 4 o'clock Mrs. Lizzie G.
Walker , the wlfo of the Imprisoned man , ap
peared before Judge Moore and applied fern
n writ 'of habeas corpus for the release ot
Alonzo Walker , making affidavit that ho , hid
been'deprived ' ot his liberty without due proj
cess of law. Judge Moore ut o'nca directed
thata writ ot habeas corpus bo Issued
against Governor- Taylor and Adjutant Gen
eral Collier , demanding the release ol
Walker , and the writ was placed In the
bands of Sheriff n. F. Suter with directions
to servo It Immediately. In company with
Judge Andrew Scott nnd former Congress
man J. K. Hcndrlcks Sheriff Suter started
down St. Clalr street toward the capital
grounds to serve the writ.
Crossing the tracks of the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad , he was met by Captain Wal-
cutt , provost marshal of the state troops ,
guarding the state buildings , and together
the two walked to the entrance of the capital
grounds. Sheriff Sutcr explained the nature
of his mission to Captain Walcutt , who at
once went to the executive building to notify
Governor Taylor and Adjutant General Col
lier of the situation and learn their views In
regard to the matter. Sheriff Suter In the
meantime stood without the gate , close tu
two sentries , whose crossed bayonets were
n bar to his access. In a moment or two
Captain Walcutt returned. In the meantime
an Immense crowd had gathered around the
sheriff without the gate In the apparent ex
pectation of trouble. No one was allowed
to enter the grounds , however , except n mull
carrier with a sackfull of letters , for wham
the bayonets were uncrossed. In a moment
or two Captain Walcutt returned and was
also surrounded by a number of the militia ,
Captain Walcutt stepped down on the side
walk In front of Sheriff Suter and said :
Sheriff Cniiiiot Conic * In.
"I'm afraid you can't como In , Mr. Sheriff. "
The > captain was smiling as he made this
announcement.
"Well , " said Sheriff Suter , "I have a
writ of habeas corpus hero for the body of
Alonzo Walker and I demand to be allowed
to serve It. "
Captain Walcutt hesitated for a moment ,
but the stntlo never left his face.
"I'm sorry , but you can't como In , Sutcr. "
ha said. "Is there anything else I can da
for you ? "
Sheriff Suter looked at the burly form
of the captain and then smiled slightly
himself. "Well , no ; I gueos not , " he re
plied , "but I demand admittance here. "
Captain Walcutt , still smiling , shook his
head. The representative of judicial au
thority and the representative of military
authority regarded each other silently for
a moment , the sheriff turned away and
slowly walked back to the Capital hotel ,
where be found Judgu Moore and reported
hl.i Inability to servo the writ ,
The writ , as returned to Judge Moore ,
bore on Its back the following written en
dorsement by Sheriff Sutcr :
"Tho within writ Is not executed , be
cause I was prevented from executing same
by military force. I went to the state
housu square and demanded admittance ol
the olllccr In charge at the gates , but was
refused admittance , I demanded to see
Colonel Roger Williams and sent Captain
Walcutt to see him , but be refused to be
seen and I thereupon demanded the body
or Alonzo Walker and he refused to deliver
him. D , F. SUTER.

Kiijolim I In1 Governor ,
Judge Cantrlll of the clicult court tbU

don , Ky.
Tbo temporary Injunction is to remain

Judge Cantrlll at Georgetown , Ky.
At the opening of court Judge Pryor said :
"Your honor , we dt-slrq to offer a petition
signed by South Trimble and others against
Willis S , Taylor. The petition has been
filed and la now a portion of the records of

He then produced the petition , which has

When ho had , concluded Judga Pryor said-
"I do not suppose that it IB necessary to
prove the case of the plaintiff and your
honor having read the petition In chambers ,
f.
and there belhg nb counsel present for the
other tilde , I nsk thnt the following order bt

Ho then rend an order In accordance with
the petition nnd It wns entered by Judge.

"Vour honor will notice , " continued Judga
Pryor , "that this Is but n temporary re
straining order , to bo effective on the de
fendant until February S. when a request
nil ! bo made that the Injunction bo mads
perpetual , "
"Aro there nny attorneys present foi the
defendant ? " asked Judge Cantrlll. There
was no reply.
"Mr. Clerk , let the order bo entered,1 , * said
the Judge , "but I wish to make It read that
the application for the permanent Injunction
will bo heard nt Georgetown In tbla state ,
Instead of Frankfort. "
This wns agreeable to the attorney for the
plaintiff nnd the matter wns ordered.
No attempt will be made to secure per
sonal service of the writ of Injunction upon
Governor Taylor ,
Immediately after the Issuance of the writ
Judge Cantrlll Instructed Sheriff Sutcr ol
Franklin county to make no effort to pre
sent the order of court. The Judge directed
that It bo allowed to remain binding without
service because of the danger threatening
the man who should undertake the task and
the results that might ensue owing to the
excited state ol the public mind.
BEGKHAM SWORN IN GOVERNOR
TnUeN the. Onth One Hour After ( Joe-
uel'w Dentine , Near the Dcnth
Chamber.
FRANKFORT , Ky. , Feb. 3. Exactly one
hour after thb death of Gocbel J. C. W
Dcckham was sworn In as governor , the oat !
being administered by S. J. Shackelford
clerk of the court ot appeals.
It had been determined to keep secrcl
the news of the death of Gocbel until Beck-
ham should have been formally Inducted
Into office nnd the delay was made greatei
by the Inability of Dr. McCormack to leave
the bedroom of Goebcl nnd iniike the propel
ccrtincnte of death. Until thle had beer
done the democratic attorneys were un
willing that the onth of office should 'be ' ad
ministered.
The ceremony took place In a small roon'
on the same floor as that oil which Qoebel
died and but a few doors to the west of It
In the room nt the time of the admlnlstra
tlon of the oath were Senntor-elcct Black
burn , Colonel B. H. Young , Colonel Phlllr
Thompson , J. H. Llllls , Lieutenant L. E. .
McKay , S. J. Shackelford , clerk of the cOurl
of appeals ; Dr. W. P. Wells , Colonel Hnrrj
McKay , Colonel Jack Chlnn , Kit Chinn , Dr ,
McCormack , Joseph Blackburn , jr. , and three
representatives of the press.
Colonel Young , who was one ot the lead
ing democratic attorneys throughout the
Goebel-Taylor contest , and Senator-elect
Blackburn sat at a table In the center ol
the room upon which they had drawn up
the papers necessary to the administration
of the path of office. After the papers had
been completed the e wns n wait of nearly
ten minutes for Dr. McCorrnack. The dealt
certificate hod already been prepared nnd
Dr. McCormack quickly signed his name
and swore to the contents of the paper.
"Now Mr. Bcckham , It's your turn,1' sqld
Colonel Young.
Beckham , who bad been standing In the fat
corner of , the room , at once advanced tc
the table with a flush ot excitement on hit
youthful face.
"Sign the oath , " said Colcuel Young , pushIng -
Ing the paper toward him.
Beckham hesitated and Colonel Young re
peated the request.
"Let me be sworn first , " said Mr. Beck-
ham.
"You must sign the paper before you take
the bath , " said Colonel Young. "We want
your oath ito the signature. "
Oiiili In AilnilnlNtereil.
' 'Beckham advanced to thp table and af
fixed his signature and then , stepping back ,
he held up his right hand for the ontli
which was read to him by Clerk Shackel
ford of the court of appeals. The light was
none of the best , and the writing on the
paper none of the most legible , and Shackel
ford made slow- work of it. All of the time
Bcckham stood before him , with his eyee
shining and a deep flush on his face.
When the clerk rendthe concluding words
of the oath , "co help you God , " Mr. Beck-
ham's reply came "I do , " nnd then with
greater emphasis , ' 'and may God give me
strength to do my duty. "
"I devoutly hope He will , " rejoined Colonel
nel Young.
Clerk Shackelford then attested to the
oath.
The first official action of Mr. Beckbam
was the appointment ot n new adjutant gen-
ernl nnd his last act before assuming the
oath was an order removing Adjutant Gen
eral Collier and Assistant Adjutant General
Dixon.
The order was delivered to Captain Ben
nett at the gate of the capltol ground :
twenty-five minutes before the death ol
Goebel. Beckbam was made acting gov
ernor laat night by the medical certificate
of Dr. McCormack that Goebel was unable
to assume the functions of the office.
Beckham seemed deeply affected by the
position In which circumstances had placed
him and ho did not reveal much joy ovjr
the congratulations which those In the room
showered upon him , although be accepted
them gratefully.
"There Is one thing that I would have
been greatly pleased to bave had done by
Mr. Goebcl before his death , " ho oald , "and
that was to sign the certificate of Senator
Blackburn. Of course I am greatly plcaseJ
to have the privilege myself , but f know
that it was a matter close to the heart ol
Mr. Goebel , nnd I wish that be could have
lived long enough to do It. I think I can
promise , " he said with a smile , "that It
will bo one of the first things thnt I will
do on Monday , "

death upon the situation , lest something
ho might say would serve to aggravate mat
ters at Frankfort. He did say , however , thai
if what the legislature has done was valid ,
ho did not see that Goebcl's death changed
the situation. He was asked what effect
Goebel's death would have In case the act
of Taylor In adjourning the legislature wae
upheld by the courts. Beyond replying In
an offhand way that ordinarily in a contest
the death of one of the principals abated the
contest , Senator Lindsay declined to discuss
the proposition.
Representative Smith of Kentucky , a warm
supporter of Gocbel , said :
"Tho contest before the legislature deter
mined who was elected governor lost Novem
ber. The constitution ot Kentucky provides
that after the governor shall be Impeached ,
removed from office , die , refuse to qualify
or resign , etc. , the lieutenant governor shall
exercise all the power appertaining to gov
ernor. Governor Goebel having been de
clared duly elected and having qualified as
governor , there can be no question but that
the lieutenant governor will bo entitled to
exercise the functions ot governor until a
governor can bo elected next November. "
"In case the courts shall decide that Tay
lor had the power to adjourn the legislature ,
what effect will Goebel's death have upon
the contest ? "
I.cKlNlntiire MiiMt Still Ileelile.
"The contest remains then undetermined ,
Goebel's death will not affect the question
In any way. The issue In that contest la
whether Taylor or Goebel was elected. When
the legislature answers that Issue and says
Taylor was not elected and Goebel was.
that , In my judgment , terminates his author
ity as governor , and Qoobel having died in
the meantime , the power of governor passes
to whoever Is ascertained to bo the lieuten
ant governor. "
Representative Berry of Kentcky said :
"Goobel's death will have no effect upon
the situation In Kentucky If the contention
of the democrats Is sustalned'by the courts ,
and If the courts don't sustain It the contest
must still be decided by the legislature. If
it declares that Goobel 'was elected and not
Taylor , then Beckhnm , as lieutenant gov
ernor , will be the governor until next fall ,
when there will bo a special election. The
law of Kentucky provides thnt the governor
shall servo four years. If ha dies , resigns
or Is removed before he- has served two
years then a special ejection occurs In the
succeeding November ; If , after having served
two years , the lieutenant governor fills out
his term. Beckham , therefore , could only
servo until next fall. "
Representative Borelng of London , Ky. ,
the other republican member frccn that state ,
was not prepared to say what effect the
death of Goebel would have upon the situa
tion. He hoped , however , now that every
one had bad time to reflect , the question of
the governorship would bo peacefully settled.
A peaceful solution of the dlOlculty was to
be moro desired than that any otic particu
lar man should be declarer. ] governor ,
London n I'vneenhle Toun.
With regard to the statements made under
oath as to the lawlessness of London and vi
cinity , Gorcltig said he regarded them as
slanderous , London was a local option town
where liquor had not been sold for twenty-
live ycart The people there wore law abid
ing citizens and there had not been a homi
cide there in twenty years. The Inhabitants
of Laurel and all the adjoining counties ,
with the exception of Clay , were of a like
character and their first thought would be
to preserve the peace. There bad never been
any fcuJa In these counties , Clay cxccptcd ,
within his memory.
The legislature , when It meets there , ho
said , will be as safe as It would be at Frank
fort. Goebel had delivered a political ad
dress at London and was given as courteous
reception there as anywhere In Kentucky ,
