THE BARCOCK TRIAL.

The trial of Gen. Babcock for cOnspir-
acy in the whisky ring of st. Louis was
fairly opened on Tuesday. The names
of the jury are AS follows: II. NJ. Black
wood, W. T.. Wilson, Harvey Sessions
and Ezra johnson, Lewis county Matt.
Woodruff, Clark county B..F. Snyder,
Knox county john NJ. keathlcy. 81.
Charles county; j. W. Blakcly, Adair
county; ID. W. Taintor, Gasconade
county; Edward Il. +. May, Franklin
county; VIM. s. Jewett, Jefferson
county, and VIM. Jackson, Clark county
District Attorney Dyer opened the case
for the government by reading the in
dictment against the accused and follow
ing 1t up with his argument. Addressing
himself to the jury, he informed them
that they had been called to try most
important case, important alike from the
enOrmity OF the oiIense involved and the
distinguished position of the defendant.
The speaker traced the history of tho
whiskey ring from its inception in 1871.
He charged that II was organized by Z. q.
Mcgrue, formerly clerk in the revenue
department. and that 1t embraced Nc.
Donald, Ford, Joyce and other revenue
officers and Mr.. Mckee, and asserted that
the prosecution would show how the
profits OF the ring were made and how
they were divided how 1t became neces-
sary to enlist the revenue officers in it,
and that II was impossible to conduct the
frauds without u,rir cUiii,ivanee how
this necessity was followed by that OF
securing the sympathy Of men OF high
position and influence at Washington
how the silence Of revenue agents, sent to
investigate the distilleries. was systemati-
cally bought how, on the death Of Ford,
Babcock was introduced into the ring by
Joyce lie reviewed the kilograms which
passed between Babcock and Joyce, and
thosc;which passed between joyce, Avery,
Commissioner Douglass and lIoag and
others, he detailed the particulars Of
McDonald's visit to Washington, and said
the prosecution would show that all Bah
cocks kilograms signed "Sylph" referred
to the operations Of the whisky ring and
their efforts to manage Commissioner
Douglass, the Secretary Of the Treasury
aud the President IN the interest of the
ring, without the knowledge OF these
officials, and how they succeeded to the
length OF having the president suspend
the order transferring the supervisors.
Col. Dyer concluded his argument by
declaring that the prosecution would
show that Babcock had received money
direct from Avery, who, afraid TO pur
chase postal orders, checks or to send II
by express, sent il Ia letters marked
personal" 70 Babcock, and that after
Mcbonald's indictment last tall, Babc0ck
! visited st. Louis and made arrangement.

the CONVICTION OF THE GRAINS

The jury in the Grain trial returned n
verdict yesterday morning Of guilty and
fixed the penalty ut twenty years In the
penitentiary.
The circumstances surrounding this
case were Of q peculiar kind, and great
interest has been manifested by the pub
lie In Its development.
The prisoners WHO stood at the bar
were Jep. Grain and william Grain. Jep.
was brother Of Marshall Grain who
was lately executed in Williamson
county for the murder of viii
liam Spence, and Bill was his
cousin. Upon Information obtained from
sam Musick, who was present with Mar
shall Grain and assisted vt the numbering
Of Spence, Jep. and Bill were arrested.
Musick, making clear breast Of the mat
ter, charged that Jep. and Bill were also
parties to the murder Of spence. lie
gave, with apparent truthfulness, mar
rative OF the conspiracy to slaughter
Spence, iu which he implicated Jep. as
the manager and Bill as an active par
ticipant. His story was well told, and on
the witness stand he was wonderfully
selt-poasessed. The defense attempted to
prove an abb, but failed.
We have no doubt the evidence in the
case justified the verdict, and We believe
the prisoners have reason to be thankful
that they have escaped with their lives.
We have heard 1t said that more bloody
work will be the result Of these trials and
convictions. We do not believe this

Run AWAY AND SMAsH-UP.-
AS a man named Potter and
Jimmie Doian were out in bug
gy, exercising a team of young
half broken horses belonging to
Bob. Abrams, the team
took fright and ran away. They
dashed along third Street, and
turned down the hill at the street
in front of the residence of D..
Sires. At the foot of the hill
the front wheels parted from the
balance of the buggy, and it
capsized, throwing both the oc-
cupants out with great force, se-
riously injuring. The team
brought up against a stump, one
OF the horses getting his head
laid open and one of his eyes
knocked out, and the other, a
pretty little black mare former
ly belonging to DR.. Calhoun,
having its leg seriously injured.
The men were taken down town
to a drug store and it was found
that Potter had a scalp wound
and a severe confusion on the
side OF his head, and Jimmy Do
Ian had his ankle sprained and
his leg broken. DR.. Weed at
tended Potter, and, DR.. Calhoun,
