Detectives Unearth a Startling Story Concerning the Crime. A dispatch from Frankfort, Ky., yester day says: A letter received by State's At- torney Robert B. Franklin says that Brai field Bertram, sheriff of Breckinridge coun- ty, who recently died of pneumonia, re- vealed on his deathbed a plot of which he had knowledge to murder William Goebel. According to th> story, twenty-five men drew lots to determine who should do the killing. Twenty-five beans, twenty-four white and one black, were placed in a box and each of the twenty-five men drew a bean. The man getting the black bean agreed beforehand to kill the democratic aspirant for governor. The plot was revealed, it is said, and sev- eral persons warned Goebel that he would be killed if h> exposed himself in public. The warnings were not heeded. Detectives, it is said, have been working on the clue given by the letter, but it Is not known whether they have succeeded in securing definite evidence. The first move on the part of J. W. C. Beckham's followers toward the formation of a state guard under his administration was taken today. Col. David R. Murray of Clover Point has becn appointed by Beckham assistant ad- jutant general, with the rank of colonel, and he w ‘orn in. Harlan Whiitaker and W. H. Culton, who were confined fn jail here, charged th complicity in the assassination of Goebel, were removed from the jail at an early hour this morning and taken in a hack to Sheibyvill>, where they were placed on a train and sent to Loulsville ler a heavy guard. It is understood they will be kept in the Louisville jail till the April term of the circuit court, when they will be re- turned her» for trial. Soldiers for Goebel.

HEAVY LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES British General Protests Against Abuse of White Flag. COL. BETHUNE DRIVE ———— BACK A dispatch to the British war office in Lendon from Lord Rob , dated Driefon- tein, March 11, 7:15 a.m., say “The enemy occupied us throughout yes- terday march, and from their intimate krowledge of the country gave us consider- 2ble trouble. Owing, however, to the ad- mirable conduct of the troops, the enemy Were unable to prevent us reaching our destination. The brunt of the fighting fell on Gen. Kelly-Kenny’s divisions, two bat- talions of which, the Welsh and Essex, turned the Boers out of two strong posl- tions at the point of the bayonet. I cannot get the precise number of cas- ualties before I march, but wfll communi- cate it as soon as possible. The Boers suf- fered heavily, 102 of their dead being left on the ground, We captured about twenty prisoners. “Among the killed are Capt. Eustace of the Buffs, Capt.

A dispatch from Durban, dated March 11, says: The Natal Mercury has the following dispatch from Greytown, eastern Natal: “A force composed ef Bethune’s mounted infantry, the Umvoti mounted rifles and the Natal police, with three Maxims, under Colonel Bethune, reached Pomeroy Thurs- day, March 8. The following morning the Boer pickets opened fire. “A general engagement soon ensued, the Boers using pompoms and two big guns. ‘There was heavy firing on both sides.

A London cablegram to the New York World says: “Lioyds' great shipping agency was thrown into a state of perturbation Satur- day by the receipt from Lloyds’ agent at Sebastopol of a code word signifying that Russia was making: there surprising war- like preparations. “The company cabled back asking for details out of cipher, ‘believing that a Nrong code word must have been used. The reply came at once that the code word Was correct; that active warlike prepara- tions were proceeding at Sebastopol. * ‘Now,’ said a member of Lloyds, ‘our agents are not hysterical; you may put what Interpretation you like upon our ad- vices.

A London cablegram to the New York Sun says: “The military situation in South Africa now occupies a secondary place In the at- tention of the British government. The en- tire resources of the empire are being util- ized in preparations to mect a graver dan- ger nearer home. “It has been known in a vague way for several weeks that some serlous peril was threatening Great Britain. No other inter- pretation is possible of the extraordinary measures for defense undertaken by the government, which increased instead of di- mintshed after the tide of war turned in British favor. The preparations for naval mobilization, the queen's personal call for volunteers, the government's appeal to the colonies to prepare to put every availabie man in the field, the queen's abandonment of her proposed continental trip, her sud- den decision to visit Ireland, the premature Issue of the budget and the floating of the Popular war loan come in quick succession. “Apprehension became more definite when it was learned that France had tried un- successfully to Induce the sultan to reopen the Egyptian question. Now comes definite information of the heavy reinforcements that France is sending to Algiers, Mada- gasecar and Tonquin. ‘Three additional steamers have just heen chartered to take infantry and cavalry through the Suez canal, ostensibly for Madagascar. “Significant ts the series of extraordinary bell: statements furnished the foreign correspondents in Paris by French officials. It is apparently the deliberate purpose of these declarations to put Great Britain in the attitude of the aggressor. This policy, seems to suggest that the war party in France, which 1s determined to farce a rup- ture, desires first to shift the responsibility for the quarrel. “Affairs on the other side of the channel are entirely different. One of those na- tional fevers which attack France about once in a generation, recurring until th culminate in bloodshed, is now raging vio- lently. Its essence is bitter hatred of all things English. “Some of France's preparations for war have already been outlined. Her naval plan will be to keep her fleets under shelter of the guns of Brest, Cherbourg and Toulon, the idea being that the bombardment of Santiago demonstrated that naval squad- rons without a landing force are of littie us CIREGLES, CHESS At the local club it is a case of between ns.

The Ohio Chess Association had its an- nual meeting and championship tourney at Tiffin, Washington's birthday, with siz en- tries in the champfonship contest. F. H.

H. White captured the state championship. A_pretty good one on two acquaintances of Gladstone is resurrected by the Brooklyn Eagle. It seems these gentlemen were somewhat disturbed in their minds by the fact that the grand old man was informed on just about every subject that came up for casual discussion, and they determined to find one thing at any rate of which he would have to acknowledge himself ignor- ant. They hit upon an article on Chinese chess copied from a Magazine in an old newspaper. The- details were that they would discuss the subject at a dinner where all three were to be among the guests, dis- agree at a point where attention was drawn to tht discussion and then appeal to him to settle the vexed point. Slowly sip- ping his coffee, he listened to the warm dis- cussion, and when it reached a climax calmly remarked, ‘Gentlemen, I perceive that you have been reading ine article I wrote some years ago.” The score of the correspondence match between the United States and » by the latest report, is 4414 for Uncle Sam and 28% for the Canadians.

From the New York Tribune. A. V. Sterling of Pittsburg said recently: “The day of natural gas with us is prac- tically over, and our city is dirtier than ever. I went to Pittsburg to live in 1886, and stayed at first with a friend of mine at Roup, one of th? suburbs. At that time natural gas was everywhere in use, and there were open fires in every room. My friend warned me tobe car2ful in using it, and always to lay a Mghted match on the bricks before turning on the natural gag I was used to ordinary gas fires, and so when I had reason to use my fire, and the gas blew the first match out without ignit- ing. I leisurely scratched another and touched her off. The next instant found me stretched out on the other side of the room in a stunned condition, amid the wreck of the washstand, against which I had been hurled. Luckily I =scaped with a few bruises, but I ever afterward treated natu- ral gas ‘with profound respect. _ “There are a lnt of people in my town who would like to know what takes the place of the gas in the bowels of the earth when we extract it. The way it rushes out when once tapped shows that it is pent up in some place at enormous pressure, which grows gradually less and finally ends alto- gether. Now, what takes its place is what I want to know, and why there isn’t danger that this support having been withdrawn, caveins may occur? Billions and trillionsof cuble feet of natural gus have been taken from th2 earth since its first discovery, and I, for one, would like to know what Mother Nature has put in its place.” AUCTION SALES.
