THE JOHNSON TRIAL.
A Jury Secured and the Taking of Testimony
Begun--Arrival of Henrys Widow.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENvILLE, Tenn. June 1.-THE johnson
trial fairly opened to-day Senator Voorhees,
predicts the case will occupy two weeks and
says he has never been engaged in more i'm
portant trial. One of the jurors drawn ysster-
day was found to be incompetent, and was dis
missed. The greater part of to-day was taken
up in filing the vacancy. Three witnesses were
examined by the prosecution. Their testimony
shows the murder to have been premeditated,
and that his wifes ruin and subsequent suicide
had, more or less, injured Johnson's mind. The
only witness who saw the killing swore that
Johnson kissed both barrels of his gun while
they were yet smoking, and said, my wife was
a virtuous woman, and is now in heaven" TkA
witness further testified that johnson was per-
fectly COOL and remarked to him that he was not
excited 1t was also proven that Johnson had
carried a gun for weeks remarking to different
parties that he was going to kill Henry Major
Henrys widow arrived this afternoon from New
York

RUSSELL B. HARRISON.
Failure of an Attempt to Injure His Reputa-
tion by Means of a Forged Telegram.

CHICAGO, June lit appears that an effort
has been made to injure r. B. Harrison, United
States assayer, in charge of the mint at Helena,
who is a son of Senator Harrison of Indiana.
The scheme, it is understood, was originated by
a discharged employe, but it is evident others
are sharing in it. Two days ago dispatch was
received over the wires, saying an investigation
showed that the public money had been used
for private purposes. AS this was signed
with the name of the authorized agent of
the Associated Press, it was permitted to pass.
The friends of Mr.. Harrison having challenged
the statement, the Helena agent was called on
for an explanation He promptly pronounced
the use of his name forgery The Western
Union Telegraph Company have now been called
on by the Associated Press to explain why its
manager at Helena received and transmitted
forged dispatch That company will be held to
a strict accountability in this case. Word was
received from the United States mint examiner
this morning that Mr.. Harrison's office was
found in perfect condition, and his accounts ad-
ilsted to o cent.

Indianians Again Jostling Each Other in
Their Anxiety to Secure Office.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 11.--For several days
there has been scarcity of Democratic arrivals
from Indiana, and il was feared that the i'll
success of those who had come and gone had
kept others away but the hotel registers show
new life to-day, and on the street Hoosiers again
jostle one another. Senator Hoover, of Rem
ington, has appeared again; he is not alone this
time, but has in tow two very wealthy Indianians
who are to back his claims for an Indian agency.
They are 0. b. Mcintyre, of Remington, and j.
Maheever, of Rensselaer, The Senator
will now take off his coat for the fight,
and if that commission is not forthcoming there
will be music at once.
j. T. Roush, of Logansport, is here. He is
silent as to his desires, and even says he wants
nothing, but the symptoms of official itch are
unmistakable and he will develop into full
fedged candidate before the week is out.
Thos. r. Cobb, jr.. son of Representative
Cobb, is here too. It is said that he desires a
place in the Land Office.
Mr.. Stoll's friends are still confident that he
will be made Public Printer The sowness of
the President in dismissing the best man that
ever controlled the government printing Office is
causing them to grieve great deal lately.
The indianapolis gentleman who brags that he
wrote the scandal on Blaine, last summer, is
said to be on his way here, to attempt to secure
the reward for his services.

AN APPALLING SCENE.

Twenty-Four Persons Instantly Killed and
One Hundred and Sixty-Three Wounded.
PARIS, June 11.-At Theirs, town in the de-
partment OF Puy de Dome murder trial has
been in progress for some days. Yesterday, the
last day of the trial. the court house was crowded
with men and women anxious to witness the
Immediately after the adjournment of the court,
and were jammed upon the stone stairway lead
ing to the street, the lofty stair case fell. The
scene that followed was appalling. Immense
masses of masonry from above crashed down on
the struggling people below, grinding through
their flesh and bones, and manning and mutilat
ing them in a horrible manner The fall of the
stair case and the shrieks of the people lying
helpless in the ruins caused panic in the court
room, and there was a rush for the now wrecked
exit Those who were in front were unable to
withstand the pressure from behind, and were
hurled down upon the men and women crushed
in the fall of the staircase, and whom the people
in the street were already striving to rescue
When at length the panic had exhausted itself
and the immense stone steps Of the fallen stairs
had been removed, twenty persons were taken
from the ruins dead. The injured numbered not
less than sixty, and many of these will die of
their injuries.
A later dispatch from Theirs says that in ad
dition to the twenty persons killed fully one
hundred persons were injured. Many of the in
jured are women, and their wounds are of seri-
Gus character. When the massive stone stair
case fell the scene was fearful to witness. The
immense stone steps above with the people
upon them, were precpitated upon the dead and
dying below, adding to the horrors of the awfnl
spectacle.
A still later dispatch from Thiers makes the
calamity by far more disastrous in its conse
quences than the earlier dispatches indicated.
The dead already number twenty four. The
total number Of the injured is now placed at 1853,
Of these, fourteen are very seriously injured,
and some Of them will die.
