THE JOHNSON JURY,
The Court VIII Decide To-day What He
VIII DO About Il.


When the jurors sitting in judgment between the
United States and John s NJ. Johnson, indicted for
the murder of James F. Johnson, fled into the
Criminal Court room yesterday morning it was
noticed that the panel lacked one man of being
complete. Il was ascertaincd that Mr. Divine the
sick juror, was still unable to leave his bed.
DR.. Smith TownShend, the attending physician.
stated tha: Mr. Divine was suffering from an attack
of eryspelas. and certainly could not be out under
i've days, and it might require ten or twelve. The
disease must run its course and it generally re-
quired from FIVE TO ten days to do it.
Mr.. Perry said ne had no suggestions to make as
TO tho course the court should follow He read
however, from Wharton'S Criminal Practice TO show
that the present panel, under such circumstances,
could be discharged and retrial had
The court stated that nothing would be done in
the matter that day.
Mr. Perry remarked that while this case was
pending the court could not proceed with any other
business.
Colonel Cook had some suggestions that he
wished to make TO the court. He read from Bish-
ops Criminal Procedure to show that the case
might either be retired at subsequent term of the
court or another juror substituted for the sick one
and the trial continued. He wished TO say that the
prisoner was actually without means to conduct
his defense and If trial is to be entered into
he will be unable to properly conduct his case. He
by trade had exhausted all of his resources to get
ready for the present trial. He had not even been
able 70 pay his attorneys. Two of his witnesses are
now on the verge of the grave, and they were will
ing to make almost any concessions to have the
trial go forward The Government had an abun-
dance, ana the delay would little interfere with
them.
Mr. Perry said that il the defense would furnish
the Subp9naes to the Government they would have
the witnesses summoned for them. If the two III
valid witnesses that Colonel Cook spoke of were
within the jurisdiction of the court he was willing
that their depositions should he taken.
Colonel Cook, in replying, said unfortunately
hat could not be done.
he was willing to waive many irregularities in
order that this trial might not be discontinued.
He would consent to the eleven jurors being per-
ultted 10 return to their homes and families. He
and his associates were willing to take the eleven
and put in twelfth man and commence the trial
dc GOi0. There would be no challenges, and all
the testimony would be repeated in three days;
juror could be obtained that day and the trial re-
sumo to-day.
Mr.. Perry hoped that his Honor would take one
day, at least to consider the matter
The court replied that no decision would be
made at that time He wished 10 deliberate and
eO.ssclt ever the case before deciding upon what
was best 10 De done. The court then adjourned for
the day.

An effort is being made before the Delaware
Legislature to secure amendment to the charter
of the Delaware Western Railroad granting fran
chises which will eventually result in the con-
struction OF a new through line between Baltimore
and Philadelphia and the breaking of the monop-
oily now held by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad Company, over whose line all
through trains from Washington to New York have
to pass. The Baltimore and Ohio road it is stated
is especially interested in the new enterprise Ii
is claimed on the part of the Philadelphia Will
mington and Baltimore road that, owing to GER
tain complications, the Baltimore and Ohio COM

were overcome the Baltimore and Ohio could not
