Georgetown, Ky., July 25. —Yester- day was the most eventful day of the trial of Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in the Goebel shooting, since the hearing of the testimony be gan nearly two week# ago. The tes-* timoiry was nearly all corroborative. Among the possibilities for the wit ness stand today are Robert Noaks, whose cross examination was suspend ed last Saturday, F. Wharton Golden and McKenzie Todd, the latter private secretary to Governor Taylor. It was definitely stated last night that Henry Youtsey will not be placed on the stand. Among witnesses was Miss Ella Smith, of Barbourville. She told of a conversation between John Powers and herself on Jan. 16. They were regretting the Colson-Scott tragedy, which happened at Frank fort that day, and Powers said there would be more bloodshed at Frank- if Goebel was seated. Witness was" surprised at this statement, and said: "Oh, Mr. Powers, you would not be willing to kill him, would you?" Then Powers replied that he would. Miss Bessie Hardin, of Frankfort, corroborated much of tne evidence of the prosecution as to the arrival of the mountaineers. James Fletcher, of Knox county,"tes tified that he heard John Powers say In December: "Taylor has been elected governor, and if any effort is made to count him out Goebel will never be seated." John F. Dazier, of Knox county, tes tified that he heard Charles Fin ley, then secretary of state, tell Caleb j Powers early in December that he i would leave a shotgun loaded with buckshot in the office of the secretary j of state and advised Powers to use it if any attempt was made to unseat ! him. The court excluded this testi- | mnny on the ground that it was not { competent. George Lockhart, of Knox county, j told of Caleb Powers arranging with j him togo armed to Frankfort for a month. Powers told him he would be I paid if Taylor won the contest. Tlircr More Victim* of tli<- Smile.

Rave Rcen Ttenllnu In Stolen Rriil For Nearly Two Yenm. Wllkesbarre, Pa., July 25. — Railroad detectives stationed at Wilkesbarre, Williamsport, Elmira and Rochester have just succeeded in running down a gang that have been systematically robbing the railroads for nearly two years past. Within the last year large quantities of brass, valued at thou sands of doll .fs, have been stolen from the Pennsylvania. Lehigh Valley, Dela ware and Hudson, Lackawanna and Central Railroad of New Jersey. Last M ireh the detectives in the em ploy of these roads held a conference, and it was agreed to make a concerted effort, to run down the thieves. It was discovered that large shipments of the in in brass were being made from Wilkesbarre, a great deal of it being « ) Rochester, N. Y. The party !: -.n the goods were consigned in that ity was taken into the confidence of the detectives, and this caused the shippers to fall into a neat trap. Th# stolen brass, instead of going to its des tination, was shipped to Williamsport, where It was taken charge of by the Pennsylvania railroad officials. The shippers, however, were none the wiser. They received the money just the same. In ordpr to throw off suspicion a couple of shipments were allowed togo through to their destination, the detec tives having learned that some brake men were acting as spotters for the shippers. John Fisher, a well known junk dealer of this city, was takpn into cus tody yesterday and released on $1,500 bail. Two other junk dealers, Anthony Steinpr and Samuel Steiner, were held in S9OO bail. More arrests are expected to follow in Williamsport, Elmira and Rochester. It is said that one of the parties, who was ,a heavy shipper of the stolen brass, has made a confession which exposes the whole plot. NI <.(;;: Is OF XFWS.

Tuesday night Constable Miles l!etz was placed in watch at the storage rooms and before the dawn of another day Jack Sweigart, of Espy, was in the toils charged with the robbery. About one o'clock yesterday morning Sweigart drove to the old church, pried open the door and came out the rear way with a roll of 214 pounds of copper wire,valued at $45. 15ut before be had time to escape with his booty Const able lletz made him a prisoner.

The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The ma tron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage. Many neglect to deal with the unpleas ant drains which are often consequent on marriage and motherhood, not uiuler standingthat this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and the form of its fairness. As surely as the general health snffers when there is derange ment of the health of the delicate wom anly organs, so surely when .these organs are established in health the face and form at once witness to 'the fact in re newed comeliness*. Half a million wom en and more have found health and happiness in the use of Dr. Pierce's Fav orite Prescription. It makes weak worn en strong and sick women well. Should Muke Known the Count. Why the Census Department refuses to give out any information concerning the population of towns and cities throughout the country is not clear. All of the census supervisors have the figures in their bands and could easily give out the population of every town and city in their respective districts if they were allowed to do so by the direc tor of the census. Instead of that, however, every report must be sent to Washington, I). C.,w here anothercount is made. It will be December before any figures giving the population of some of the larger cities will be publish ed and it may be next year before the people of Danville, for instance, will, know the exnet population of the town, as gathered by the census enumerators.

THOS. E. DEEN. Solicitor. . Danville. Pa., July>lo, PJOO. ] ELEVATOK DESTROYED BY FIRE. Three-tl«iurter* of a Million Dollar* Gone I i> in Smoke. Buffalo, July 25. —Fire last night de stroyed the Eastern elevator, which is situated on the island opposite the foot of Washington street. The ele vator and its contents were valued at $750,000, and are a total loss. The cause of the fire was not learned. There was no explosion preceding the fire. Carpenters and painters had been at work in the building, and it is pos sible that some one of them dropped a match. The elevator was owned by the American Linseed company, who came into possession of the building only a few weeks ago. Their oil works are situated within 100 feet of the burned elevator. When it was seen that there was no chance to save the elevator the firemen turned their attention to save adjoining property. Streams of water were played continually on the oil tanks and the buildings of the refinery. | Fortunately the wind was blowing in | an opposite direction, and this fact probably prevented a far more seri ous conflagration. The fire was a difficult one to fight, as it started in the upper part of the elevator and burned down ward until the entire building was de stroyed. The intense heat made it impossible for the liremen to enter the building, and the streams throwfl up from the creek below had little effect in checking the flames. Mr. Bryan at \. It. Kncmnprai'iit.
