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.

ANOTHER YACHTING FATALITY.
Three Children Dead find Four Oth
ers Injured. One l«'«i tally.
Syracuse, July 25.—Through the ex
plosion of a steam tube connecting
with the boiler in the steam yacht
Trilby, owned and commanded by
Fred. L. Spink, of Scriba, Oswego
county, three young children lost their
lives, one more was frightfully scald
ed and three older people were more or
less burned here at 2 o'clock yester
day afternoon. The dead are: Eva
Spink, 9 years old; Gladys Spink. 7
years; Fern Spink, 2 years. Wounded:
Capt. Fred. Spink, left arm and hand
scalded; Mrs. Fred. Spink, scalded
about legs and abdomen; Herald
Spink, aged 4. frightfully burned all
over the body; Mrs. Jay Kelsey, slight
ly scalded from the knees down. Her
ald Spink's life is despaired of, but the
others injured will recover.
The Trilby was about to, pass
through a 4ock near the city limits
when the accident happened. Without
the slightest warning a flue in the uj
per row of boiler tubes loosened, anu
the scalding steanP forced open the
door of the firebox, and carrying hot
coal ashes and acids with it flew all
over the passengers
The victims were tenderly lifted
ashore, largo pieces of flesh dropping
from their bodies. The children were
wrapped in blankets and taken to a
hospital. Eva and Gladys Spink died
almost simultaneously at 7:40 o'clock
last evening and the death of Fern
followed a few hours later.
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.

Wire Thieves Captured. ,
For some time past the Montour-Col- 1
uinbia Telephone Company has been 1
missing copper wire from their storage 1
room in the basement of the old Presby
terian church, Bloomsburg, but its dis- .
appearance has been a mystery to them.
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. He was given a berth in
the station house until about ten o'clock
yesterday morning, when be was taken
before 'Squire Jacoby and given a bear
ing. I n default of SSOO bail Sweigart was
placed in-the custody of Sheriff lllack
for his appearance at September term of
court.
Late yesterday afternoon Joseph
Fausev, of Espy; was arrested charged
with being implicated in the above rob
bery. He was given a hearing before
'Squire Jacoby an 1 in default of SBOO
bail Fausev was placed in jail. *
Women Who Wear Well,
It is astonishing how great a change
a few years of married life will make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. 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.

Women Shouftl Know It.
Many women sutler untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease
is not correctly understood. They htve
been led to believe that womb tiouble or
female weakness of some sort is respon
sible for the many ills that beset woman
kind.
Neuralgia, nervousness,headache,pu fly
or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma
tism, a draggiug pain 01 dull ache in the

it with scalding or binning sensation,

signs ol kidney ami bladder trouble.
The above symptoms aie often attribut
ed by the patient herself or by her physi
cian to female weakness or womb tiouble.
Hence, so marty f.JI to obtain relief, be
cause they arc treating, not the disease
itself, but a relieetion of the primary
cause, which u s kidney trouble.

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.
