TAYLOR'S ORDERS
TO HIS FORGES,

From Collier.
PLANS FOR ARMED ASSEMBLY.
After llie Shoot iiijr of Cioebel ih
K.ocuiive Uuildiim Was
guarded as Against Ex
pected Attack.
GtoiKftnnn. Ky.. Auk. 2 The dtfen-e In
the Povwi.s ca-o ofi'eied the testimony of sK
new witnesses In court to-day, and much of
the two sessions held was taken up by the
wraui;llus of :ittornos for both sidy, the
jury being sent out m-c time-- One of the
features of the dav was the presenting by
Colonel Mengel, of the First Kunttickv ltig
inient of State Guards of an autograph let
ter from Governor Taylor, written on Jan
uary IS, two wtiks before the shooting of
Goeuel, In which he instructed him to oliej
"all orders and signals" given him by Ad
jutant General Collier.
Thi- officer offered to explain the cipher
messiges "all right" sent out by Collier
Immediately after the shooting.
Uefeiisc Oit'rruleil.
The defence was uviiiuW on two impoi
tant points during the day. Judge Cantrlll
refusing to allow one witness to relate
a conveis.ttion he claimed to have had with
"Wharton Golden relative to receiving jxiv
for testimonv and refusinsr to allow anoth
er witness to read to the jury two resolu-
tion- adopted b the mojntain petitioners
and which they attempted to pieent to the
legislature. The defense expected to show
by the-e resolutions that the assembling of
the petitionei.s was not for an unlawful pur
pose. The Reverend John Stamper, the brother-in-law
of "What tun GoUUn. tesunied the
witness tnnd to-diy. Colonel Hendricks of
the prosecution, question him as to the pai t
he took in getting Republicans fiom Scott
Count j to go to the State capital on Jan
uary . He answered that he securul
quite a number. On redirect examination
by AUornej Sims, the witness sjd that tho
conversations he had with Golden riv irdliur
tho money Golden was to reaive for con
victions, were confidential, but that he male
them public leeause a man's life was m
jeopardv. Witness next sold that he nn-t
nevtr been authorized by any one to ollir
money to Golden to leave the State before
the trial. itness said that he had had his
memory lefieshed since adjournment of
court jestenlav. and he desired to correct
the statement made then that his offer of
J..M to Golden w.is mnde after talking with
Defendant Povveis. He said he had the con
versation with Golden before talking to
Povv ers.
The next witne- was John O. Uarrett of
Louisville, who had p issed through the
crowd that assembled in tho State House
grounds a few minutes after the shooting
of Goebel. The defense asked him to tell
of threats he heard made there against tiio
occupants of tho executive building. The
prosecution objected and Judge Cantrlll
ruled the question out.
The defetw called H. Ij. JdcClure of Lex
ington, a, ncu.spaper man. Attorney Unetis
asked him if wltiiek Golden had not s-ald
to him that Youtsey was a fool lor talking
too much and would not get a cent, but
that he (Goldtn) had fixed It before h) told
his stoiy to the prosecution. Attorney Wil
liams for the prosecution objected.
At the concusion of the argument Judge
Cantrlll paid to the defense: "You cannot
impeach .i witness for the other side b
inference. I Miatn the objection. '
The witness! stood aside.
TnIor Telecrnui.
Colonel C. C. ilengal. commander of tho
rirst Kegiment. Kentucky State Guards,
follow td. He produced two telegrams re
civ ed at Louisville on the day of the shoot
ing, at 2 p. m containing only the words
"AH right." and bigned D. R. Collier. Adju
tant General; also a. letter from Collier, ex
plaining that the words "All right" meant
tor iho witness to come to Frankfort and
bring a regiment and Gatling gun. On
cross-fxamlnation tiie prosecution read this
letter to s-how that Collier had snnt the
telegrams before and not after noon. The
wTtness produced orders signed by Gov ernor
Taj lor lor the movement of the regiment
to l"rankfort. He said he could not ex
plain why thi- order was issued on J.inuarv
15, the date It bort-. and not executed until
tho SJth inst. In the order Taylor directed
him to oby "ail otdets and signals-' given
him by Collier.
Stephen G. Sharp of Lexington, who wis
chuirma-i of the mountain meeting, held
on the steps of the Canlt-il on Januirv
-".. produced the minutes ind nsoluti. ns of
that meeting, but the court then recessed
till afternoon.
Tiefoie the jury was brouMi In for the
ifliTnoon ess,i(n Attorney blown of the
defense presented the copy of the les-olu
tiors adopted at the meeting of the moun
tain men. aim asked that t.i- paper he i end
to the jury. Passionate fetches fcr and
against tho admission of i..c paper as evi
dence were made by Attorneys Hrovvn and
"Williams. When thty had ceased, the Judge
said:
"The paper offered as evidence is clearly
Incompetent. You might do well read to the
Jury Pope's 'Kasay on Mar..' "
Defended llxecntiie lluildlng;.
Tho jury was then brought In and Sharpo
again placed on the stand. "Witness stld
h" told Governor Taj lor nnd General Col
lier before January .10, that ho had been
warned bj- a 1'emocratic lriend to Mnj
awaj from Prankfort, as the parties push
ii g thu gubernatorial contest had 4,0V) ri
fles there and were ready to use them. "Wit
ness was In Governor Tnj'lor's ofilco In live
minutes after the shooting. Tnj-lor asked
him to tnko chaigo and prepare to defend
the building. He did so, giving orders not
to permit the arrest of any one in tho
Capitol grounds. He had charge of ono
squad of armed men nnd Eerrj- Howard
had charge of another squad.
In response to a question on cross-examination,
Sharpe said that he had In sub
stance said to some pcr.sons on the Satur
day before the shooting that he was ready
to take his gun and either lead or follow
to prevent the ousting of the Republican
officeholders.
"I am ready to do It now," he raid.
The witness refused to mako rublic the
name of the man whom he quoted as say
ing that the contestants had 2,000 guns at
1-rankrort ready for use. On re-cross-examination
the prosecution asked tho court to
compel tho witness to give the name of
this man, but Judge Cantrlll ruled that tho
demand was made too late, that it should
have been made on cross-examination.
The second witness of the afternoon was
Colonel David "W. Gray of Louisville, who
served as Lieutenant-Colonel of the First
Regiment State Guards in Januarj- last.
Ho corroborated statements of his supe
rior officer. Colonel ilengcl. Judgo Can
trill would not let tho witness state
whether he and Adjutant General Collier
were of the same political faith.
Frank C. Carpenter of Louisville was tho
last witness of the day. He was In Frank
fort January 30. and was called by the de
fense to show tho state of feeling on tho
Etrccts of tho city immediately after tho
shooting of Goebel. Ho repeated threats
that he heard against the occupants of tho
executive building. "While he was being
cross-examined court adjourned.

up the Mississippi on the harbor boat and
collected samples of water at various points
along the river for nnaljsis to discover the

Tho start was made from St. Louis at 6:30
a. in., and the boat proceeded several miles
up tho Illinois, irbove Grafton, where tho
first samples were taken. The bottles were
licit dipped In the Mississippi, a few miles
above Uie mouth of the Illinois. Going
down the Mississippi samples were procured
several miles below the mouth of the Illi
nois, where the waters of the Missouri and
Illinois commingle with tho Mississippi.
The tmpty bottles were tossed Into tho
water and uncorked about four feet below
the surface. Doctor Teichmann left the
boat and rowed in a skiff a distance of
several hundred feet to dip each bottle.

was Miss Van Lew.

She was rich In the dajs befotu the war.
She was well-to-do .if tet wards, until the
boom of speculation bv.ept away her fa
ther's fortune. Her lather was a Noithcrn
man. who settled In Richmond and nmassed
a large fortune in the hardware business.
He bought a square of ground on the hill
near old St. John's Chinch, and made it the
site of one of the loveliest homes in Vir
ginia. When tho war broke out Miss Vin Lew
made no effort to conceal the tact that she
was a 1'nion sjmpathlzer. She refused to
leave her house, and declared that she
would remain there and seo the Yank;o
soldiers march in and take possession.
The opening of Libby Prison for the le
ctption of Union prisoners soon gavo Miss
Van levv lots of enipjj ment. She visited
tne prison, nursed the sick, when permitted

He lived on a plantation which her father

In North Cirolln.i is at an end. The coi

considerably in advance of tint given for

Tho negroes who had registered in Raleigh
polled within fifty votes ot their registered
strength. About fifteen of them voted for
the amendment disfranchising ignorant ne
groes anel also for the Democratic candi
dates. Advices from points thioughout the
State all agree that the election was e.
tremelj quiet and that the Democrats polled
their greatest vote.
At a number ot points, Gladstone for ex
ample, numbeis of negroes cast Democratic
ballots. Never in an- election was tho in
terest eo intense. The Democrats carried tie
election by buiness-like campaign methods.
Had tho election occurred Januatj- 1, It iu
reasonable to saj the amendment would
have- been defeated by 23.W0 votes, slmply
because many of tho. whito voters did not
understand it. and not understanding,
doubted It. Literature sent from head
quarters, followed bv a cloud of speakers,
did the work. The campaign was the long
est on record, lasting seven months.
It looks like the Democrats bejond the
Blue Ridgo will ne on the amendment
vote-, this being duo to the fact that Sen
ator Prltchnrd and Spencer Adams, the
fusion nominee for Governor, had applied
themselves solelv to e.impalgning there for
the past fortnight. It is the only section
of tho Stato wheie the tide was against
the Democrats, and two weeks ago the lat
ter would have polled a bigger vote there
than they did to-dav.
This is the first time in tho historv of
North Carolina when tho full Democratic
vote was polled In any county. State

Raleigh, N. C, Aug. a After one of the
I most bitteriy contested campaigns ever
Known in North Carolina, tho Dimocratic
ticket and white supremacj- triumphed to
day bj- a majority of about .".0,000. To-daj's
election disfranchised the nesro and chnnenri
I the State Legislature lrom Its combination
.' majorltv- of Krniihlffn- nnil PnnnH.it.. in
straight Demociatic, insuring the defeat of
Marion Butler for re-election us United
fctate-s Senator. The negroes, as a general
thing, remained away fiom the polls.
Ihe eleetion, unexpectedly, passed off
without any trouble., excepting at a little
town named Fnnison. A llro there, which
started in a drug store wherein was kept
tho registration hooks, destrojed the apoth
ecary's, shop, the work being attributed by
the Democrats to those opposed to whito
rule. Bloodhounds wero called out, but
failed to find any trace of tho alleged in
cendiaries. The election was for State officers, mem
bers of the Legislature and county officers
and for an amendment to tho State Consti
tution looking to a piactical cllminatiou of
the negro frcm politics, as its. adoption dis
franchises the bulk of the negio.votc.
By far the greatest interest contcred In
the fight over the amendment. Many nc
groej voted for the amendment. Tho facultv
of Livingston Collego at Salisbury, one oi
mo most prominent negro educational in
stitutions in tho South, voted for it. The
amendment was opposed bj the fusion of
Populists and Republicans, headed by Sen
ators Butler and Prltehard.
There was u full noil o tho Democratic
strength, which, eombineo with a small
negro .ind some Populist and Republican
ballots, rolled up a large majoritj-.
Spencer B. Adams, fusion nominee for
Governor, was defeated by Charles B.
Ajcock. the Democratic nominee, and all
the other Democratic candidates wero
elected The Legislature is Democratic in
both branches. Mecklenburg Countj-. of
which Charlotte is the county scat, gave 3.
00 majority for the Democratic countj
ticket. In this city the election passed off quletlj.
A he.ivy white vote was polled, but the
negroes took little interest in tho result,
and generally remained away from the
voting places. In manv instances they
voted the Democratic ticket.
Every eastern county was carried bv the.
Democrats, the majorities in some of "them
being 3,000. Most of the central counties
are also Democratic. Returns from the
west arc 'incomnletc.
Democratic Chairman Simmond said to
night: "I think wo have a safe majority
of 50.000, and at least four-fifths of the Leg
islature. The returns so far arc most sat-isfactorj-
and contain no surprises."

Herman Paper's Expression on the
Advance on Fckin.
3rlin, Aug. 2. Tho Xational Zeltung. In
a leading article on "America! ln China,"
Baj.s:
"It the movement upon Ptlcin has now
really begun, America undoubtedly deserves
grp.it credit. Immediately after the first
direct news from, Mr. Conger, the United
States Minister, was received a communi
cation llrmly regarded at all times In Wash
ington as authentic Mr. Hay Insisted with
all earnestness that Mr. Conger's cry for
help absolutely demanded speedy relief. It
ev en faecmed for n while that the American
Fecrctary of State entertained the thought
of sending a purely American expedition
to Pekln, if necessary."
Tho paper is gratified at President Mc
Kinley's refusal to accept LI Hung Chang'a
offer to deliver Mr. Conger If the American
expedition is countermanded. It thinks,
however, that Washington's China policy
ha3 been wavering, and It explains this as
due to the exigencies of the presidential
campaign, and to tho presence of the Chi
nese themselves in the United States.
The Kreuz Zeitung has an article on the
same subject. Assuming that the United
States is still ready to mediate, this journal
remarks:
"It would be ?. brilliant electioneering
coup if President McKlnley's administration
could coma forward as the preserver of the
world's peace."
Tho papers print a sermon preachca by
Kmperor William last Sunday, on board tho
Imperial yacht Hohenzollern, from Kxodus,
chapter xviil 7, "And it came to pass,
when Moses held up his hand, that Israel
prevailed;and when he let down his hand,
Amalek prevailed."
Tho subject was "The holy duty and holy
pewer of Intercession." The reports show
that tho discourse was quite belllcoso
toward China. Of the soldiers going thither
tho imperial preacher said:
"They shall be the strong arm which pun
ishes nssassins. They shall be the mailed
list, which .smites that choatic mass. They
shall defend, sword in hand, our holiest
possessions. True prayers can still
cast tho banner of tho dragon Into the dust
and plant the banner of the cross upon the
walls."
