time before he was discovered. Hopes
are entertained that he will recover. Mr..

pany with friend, but q short time be-
fore. Toe latter knew nothing Of the

American book trade association
opened its meeting yesterday evening
by al address from the president, in
which he alluded to the growing inter.
est in the association by the whole
trade. The executive committee re-

were referred to aIcommittee. Discus
siODs begin to-day.
The book trade convention assembled
here al ten O'clock this morning. The
proceedings were opened with an invi-
tation from President Randolph to spend
a few minutes in what is termed an ex.
perience meeting, which was entered
into with considerable spirit by the
members generally and called out con-
siderable humor. A committee of thirty
reported a resolution that none but
members Of the association shall be al
lowed TO participate in the book fair,
either as sellers or buyers, which was

j0urnment, and will prObsbly pass with

The HountaIn. u eadOws MassacreEs.
BEAVER, UTAH, July I4.-To-day
the trials Of Lee and Darne were set for
the nineteenth instant, the prosecution
to elect which one shall be tried first.
Judge Baremar is determined to have
the cases disposed of without delay.
Some very important witnesses for the
prosecution who, it was thought, could
not bGsfOund, are in town, and the princi-
pal witness, Klengin Smith, will be
Gere tomorrow in charge of q marshal.
John D. Lee has turned States evil
dence and will be q witness for the pros
ecutiOn and make full statement of all
he knows Of the Mountain Meadows
massacre. The cause is said, that he be-
lievss he was to be sacrificed to appease
the wrath o. the government and shield
more gniity parties by perjury if neces-
sary. There IS, s,strOng feeling in favor of
Dame on thee part Of the people from
Southern Utah who are here as witnesses
ami to be present at the time. Many
OF them were concerned in the
M mRssaeTe. They evince great
amnesty toward Lee, Bishop, Hoyt and
SpiceT. The counsel for Lee have ad-
vised him to tell the entire story, as
they believe it to be the only way to save
their client as well as give the world the
whole particulars OF the bloody affair.
1t is said that there are plenty OF wit
nesses here to corrobOTate statements
which will convict W. II. Dame and
other high Mormon authorities, and
explain everything connected with
the massacre. Among the witnesses
are some who actually took part in
it, and some who attended the meeting
of the participants after their return
from the field of slaughter. The officers
have had great difficulty in getting wit
nesses for Lees defense. Numbers have
refused and defied the marshal, while
all those in DANES behalf are present,
which is attributed to the fact that Dame
is Mormon in full fellowship, and Lee
is not,
