GOCDEL A "DOSS Sketch of the Kentucky Democratic Candidate for Gorernor, CINCINNATI. June 2& William Goebel. tv hern the Democratic convention of Kentucky, nominated, ears the Commercial Gazette, has until within the past two or three years been an unknown quantity . In Ms party outside of his immediate home, Kenton county. In that county, however, Of, which the city of Covington 13 a part, til man has for almost ten years been an even more absolute "boss" than Is George B. Cox in this city. Comparatively a young man, he has, by a persistency that has been remarkable in many instances, forced hlmnelf to the front by methods that were heretofore unknown in Kentucky politics. William Goebel is thirty-eight years of age. Born in Pennsylvania, his parents emigrated to Covington when he was but four years cf age. His only education was that of the public schools of his home city. At manhood he took up the study of law, and no man had better mentors. Ills first studies of Blackstone were under the supervision of the late Governor Stevenson and John G. Carlisle, the latter then scarcely the national figure that he became In later years. After Mr. Goebel had been admitted to the bar he formed a partnership with Mr. Carlisle, but this was of brief duration, as the great Kentucklan soon after practically abandoned the law business for that of national polltics. Mr. Goebel since that time has been associated with no other lawyer, but largely through his Intense devotion to Ms- chosen profession and the excellent mentorshlp obtained In earlier days, built up for himself one of the largest clientages In the State. As a lawyer his ability was soon admitted, and he amassed a competence, but the energy that had been one of the most marked characteristics of the man soon forced him Into the political field. His first and only political porltlon was that of Hate senator, representing the county of Kenton. When James W. Bryan, then state senator, was nominated and elected lieutenant Governor of Kentucky, being running mate for General Simon B. Buckner, Mr. Goebel succeeded to his seat in the Senate. That seat he has held since then, although on several occasions narrowly escaping defeat from a Republican. One ether position to which he aspired Mr. Goebel failed to attain. He was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Appellate judge in his district, but the convention, much similar to that which ended yesterday in, Louisville, became deadlocked, and Mr. Goebel was compelled to withdraw, the nomination going to the then Congressman Paynter, of Maysville. ambition to become Governor was but the natural result of an absolute rule in hi3 home county. Long before he announced his candidacy Mr. Goebel. as the leader of the Democrats In the State Senate, forced on his party the law which is new known as the Goebel election bill. He had become the most prominent figure in the State Legislature, possibly excepting only Senator William Bronston, of Lexington, through hi.i leadership of the Blackburn forces In the memorable senatorial flght which ended with the retirement of Blackburn and the election of the Republican candidate. Senator Deboe. He is regarded as an intensely loyal friend and an implacable enemy, not only politically, but personally. Captain Stone Fnrloni. CHICAGO. June 28. The Inter Ocean's Louisville correspondent says: "Captain Stone Is said to be furious over the manner In which he has been betrayed. Yesterday ' afterncon he sent one of his closest personal friends to Mr. Goebel, with the message that he was a liar, thief and scoundrel. Mr. Goebel smiled and said to the bearer of the message. 'Please present my compliments to Captain Stone, and cay to him that I pay he is a fool Several well-known Kentucky politicians who heard of this smiled and said that both of these gentlemen had spoken truly. All over the State during- the last three or four days the people have been holding mass meetings and denouncing Goebel and Goebelism. Thousands of Democrats have declared openly that they would not support Goebel If he were nominated. Leaders of Kentucky Democracy for the last quarter of a century feel outraged beyond expression and there is soreness everywhere, save in the hearts of the partisan Goebellte. the large nercentage of whom are officeholders, or members of Mr. Goebei's political machine. Out of the 1.10) delegates to the convention he had less than 2uO instructed for hlm He elmply held the convention up by force cf arms and wrested the nomination from a convention which was unwilling to give it to him."

PERHAPS HE'S KIDNAPED

LANDLORD OF THE LAIIR IIOLSC SIISSI.XU FOR TWO AVECKS. Dentists Dodse a Qnestlon of Professional Ethics Brazil Tollce Think They Smell .Murder. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., June 2$. John Adam Lahr. one of the proprietors of the Lahr House and well known to the traveling public. Is missing under mysterious circumstances. For a week there has been speculation as to his whereabouts, each day increasing the wonder over his disappearance. The facts, as nearly as they can be established in the face of a refusal by his family to say anything about the case, are that Mr. Lahr. after remaining on duty at the hotel all night two weeks ago last Sunday, left early the next morning for Chicago. After hi3 departure one of the clerks found an envelope which he had left containing signed checks for a number of bills and Instructions to turn these over to creditors. Since then an attorney here has received a letter asking him to attend to certain other business matter?, but making no explanation of his absence or intent. It Is known that Mr. Lahr went to Chicago to attend some real estate affairs, and that a day or two after arrival he called on his son Harry. With him he made an engagement for the evening, but failed to keep the appointment, and the family, if it has subsequent knowledge of his movement?, has not made known the facts. Mrs. Iahr went to Chicago last week, and It Is understood that detectives were put to work on the mystery of his absence. The wife returned and for several days was quite ill from prostration, but Is now improved. Her daughter has been with her constantly and her son was here a few days ago for a conference with the family. In the secrecy of the affair it is not surprising that many rumors are in circulation. One suggests foul play, another temporary aberration and another business worry. Mr. Stocker, his business partner, cannot account for the disappearance, as there has been no business or other trouble at the hotel. The circumstances are all so strange that a solution Is eagerly sought by those acquainted with the case. Three of Mr. Lahr's sisters, who have been absent for a year on a tour of Europe, are expected to return in a few days. The family refuses to see reporters. , , INDIANA BERRY HARVEST. Hundreds Now In the Patches ct Daybreak Near Rnsslavllle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RUSSIAVILLE. Ind., June The berry season Is on in full blast in this vicinity. About twenty fruit farms are located near this city. The strawberry crop was small this year compared with the raspberry, which is now on, and the king blackberry, which will follow. Several hundred cases of raspberries are shipped daily. On account of the freezing out of the berries in the South the market is much better this season than last. The Industry begins by the shipping In of carload after carload of empty cases, which are made up cheaply and are not returnable. The berry season comes as a great boon to the laboring class and gives employment to about five hundred men, women and children,' who receive one cent a quart for picking. They make from 25 cents to $1.50 a day. It reminds one of the cotton fields of the South to visit a large berry field and see the hundreds of heads above the bushes and Know that there are many little ones too short for their heads to appear. The work Is systematized as thoroughly as in a large factory. The superintendent has entire charge of tho picking force, and has under him the casers, who sort the berries, fill the quart boxes and pack them in cases holding twentyfour quarts each, the gatherers, who collect the stands holding six baskets, in which the berries are picked, and carry them to the casing house: also the water carriers, who carry drinking water so the pickers do not have to leave their rows even to get a drink. The superintendent also assigns the rows to the pickers and takes care that they get their turns at the east side of the rows, for the berries grow much more abundantly on the east side and are more easily gathered. When the dew is not too heavy the picking begins very early in the morning while it is cool, and many of the early ones have earned 50 cents before the sun is very high. The fruit of this season Is exceptionally fine, the berries are plump and large and very salable. The blackberry crop, which 1 b",rar th greatest of any. will be on at th close of the raspberry season, and bids fair to be the most prolific yield for several years. DEXTISTS XOT DISCIPLINED.

Injunction Against Flint Union Ternporarlly Compromised Jefleronvllle Strike Ia Off. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., June 2S. Sheriff Manvllle Moore returned to-day from Lapel, the scene of Monday night's riot, and reported everything quiet and good prospects for no more serious trouble. Last night Sheriff Moore remained with a force of deputies in the town. The people there have been led to believe that with union labor workmen would be In a continual wrangle with their employers and thus frequently close the factories on strikes, and that if the men were to become members of the union the factories would be compelled to close for more than half of the year, whereas they have been busy almost all the time. Sheriff Moore was unable to gain much information as to the real leaders of the mob, but learned that Landlord Helney and the union boarders at his hotel had been warned to get out of town before Tuesday night or the place would be blown up with dynamite. The union men are as determined as ever and propose to stick to their places. All the union men have been discharged, the factories are being operated with apprentices and a few blowers who have not yet been persuaded to Join the union. Organizer Morrison went to Lapel this afternoon with a large sum of money for the benefit of the men who have lost their places for Joining the union. Mr. Morrison is confident that the matter will eventually be peaceably adjusted and the factories unionized. Five of the oldest employes of the Pennsylvania Glass Company in Anderson have been released. The men recently Joined the local Flint Glass Union in Anderson, and state that they were toldby the management that they were let go because the Pennsylvania company will not recognize union labor in its two factories here. It is reported that fully two hundred more of the company's operatives are negotiating with the union for membership, and will be admitted at an early date, and expect to bo discharged at any time by the company. Two of the discharged men were given places to-day in Muncie. ' NO INJUNCTION YET. Case Against Flint Glass Union Goea Over to September. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER, Ind., June 2S.-The injunction suit of the Woodbury Glass Company against the American Flint Glass Workers Union terminated this morning, eo far as the temporary injunction is concerned, quite suddenly, the counsel for the plaintiff and defendant making an open court agreement that the defendant who were in court, should not interfere with the plaintiff's employes to Induce them to quit work until the case comes up for final hearing in September. It was understood, however, that this agreement is not to interfere with the flint glass workers organizing into a local union such employes of plaintiff as may desire to enter. At the final hearing in September a vigorous light will be made by both parties, as it is realized, on the one hand by the plaintiff, should It fall, that it will only be a question of a short time until it will be forced to become a union factory, while, on the other hand, the Flint Glass Union people realize that if they are to be enjoined from inducing employes of factories to organize for mutual protection, where no violence Is offered, but where the mere violation of a contract is In question, their success in uniting will not only be hampered, but will be rendered practically powerlesw. They maintain that such a holding would be an invasion of personal rights and privileges. Steel Worken Strike Settled. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFTERSONVILLE, Ind., June 25. The strike at the plant of the American Car and Foundry Company came to an end to-day, when a compromise was reached between the strikers and the officials of the company. It was probably through the Intervention of State Labor Commissioners Schmld and McCormack that an agreement was reached. A conference between a committee from the strikers, two officials of the company and the commissioners, held last night, failed to accomplish anything, as the strikers held out for weekly payments or nothing. This afternoon, however, another conference was more successful. While the men did not succeed in getting a weekly payment, the company made concessions that were agreeable to them. The terms of the compromises were that the company shall pay their employes bi-weekly, but will not withhold more than six days' pay. It has been customary for the company to hold back two weeks' wages. The company also agtees to deliver the money to the men in their respective shops. Judge Hackney Spoke. CHICAGO, June 25.

FIRE LOSSES IN INDIANA

WINCHESTER HAD TO CALL FOR HELP FROM NEIGHBORING CITIES. Flames Consume ?40,000 Worth of Property Before Controlled Nine Dwellings Burned at Brownsville. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER. Ind.. June 25. One of the .worst fires in the history of this city occurred here this afternoon and property to the value of 540.0CO to Jj0.0 was destroyed. The fire originated In a stable and was started by a boy with firecrackers. The greatest single loss was the destruction of the M. E. Church, completed about ten years ago at a cost of nearly $,000. The loss Included furnltude and pipe organ, the gift in part of Mrs. Jane Cotton, of Union City, and will reach 5,0y, with only $10,000 insurance. The church was named for Gen. A. Stone, now deceased, and was largely the result of his liberality and enterprise. With the church was the destruction of a large number of expensive memorial windows. Besides the church the residences of Chas. C. Smith, J. S. HIatt, Mrs. Mariah Farquhar and B. T. Bundy, together with eight barns and a large amount of personal property, were destroyed. None of the property was adequately Insured and the actual loss above insurance will be nearly $25,XX. At the time the fire started a high wind was blowing and at one time, owing to the total inadequacy of fire protection, it looked as if the whole city eastward were doomed. Greenville, Union City, Portland, Muncle and Richmond were telegraphed for help and promptly responded, but only Richmond and Union City companies were present, as the companies from Muncie and Portland were stopped by fires--the former by a fire at Parker, twelve miles west cf here, and the latter by a fire at Ridgevllle, eight miles north. Greenville reached Union City and was notified not to come. Leading citizens here have been asking the city for fire protection for several years, but to no purpose, until a franchise had been granted to a private company to put in water and light plants. Burket Pierce, of this city, has been missing since the fire and it is believed he perished in the destruction of the church. This is the second heavy loss here by fire within a year, the former being the loss of the high school building with an elegant library and laboratories. Nine Dwelling Destroyed.
