Johannesburg. Feb. 21-President Kruger and the chiefs of the several departments of the government of the South African Republic made an in spection of the scene of the dynamite explosion at Viedendorp, suburb of this city, yesterday, and visited many of the injured men, women and chilv dren in the hospitals.
 President Kruger after viewing the scene of devastation, declared that the Netherlands Railway company, on board of whose cars the dynamite ex- ploded, would have to pay the amount of the damage done, which is ealcu- lated at G1,000,000 at least.
 The president was greatly affected by the scenes in the hospitals and else where, ard in speaking later dwelt up on the splendid manner in which the people of Johannesburg sunk their race and other feuds and joined hands in relieving the distress of the hun dreds who were in need of aid.
 President Kruger was elected presl- dent of the relief committee which was formed yesterday, and which has all ready collected G60,000.

The Counterfeitprs' Trial.

Trenton, Feb. 21.-The trial of Will liam E. Brockway, William F. Wagner and Abbie L. Smith, accused of coun- terfeiting American and Canadian money, was resumed in the federal court this morning. There was again a large attendance of spectators.
 The prisoner Wagner was called to the witness stand moment after Judge Green took his seat. Wagner said that he was employed in an elec- trical works in New York He is twen ty-three years old. He boarded at Smiths house at West Hoboken at the time the detectives made their descent upon it. The counterfeiter Ulrich he had known then for only one week. He knew him as Colonel Smith, and was not aware of the nature of his business. He knew Dr. Bradford also, but was equally ignorant that he was engaged in any sort of illegal business He did not know that the house contained a cOunIefIelI pant.
 Dr. Bradford introduced Colonel Smith" to him as "a gentleman from the vest Smith told him and the other boarders many ghost stories. ," On the Sunday night of the arrest, just before tine appearance of the detect- ives, Smith told them what was going on in the house and the danger that all hands were in.
 Wagner said Ulrich stated to him that if detectives should walk in every body in the house would get ten years Ulrich advised him, in case there was any trouble, to blame everything on pr. Bradford. If they all did that, they would all go clear Wagner declared that he never did any work for either Bradford or Smith, and that he was guiltless of complicity with them in their occupation. Wagner intended to leave the house as soon as Smith told him about the eounterfeiting, but Mrs. Smith begged him to stay as protection for her, and he did so. When the de- tectives appeared they forced him to sign some of the sheets of fibre paper found in the house.
 Wagner told what seemed to be a clear, straightforward story, concern ing his presence and business in the house, the deduction from which was that Dr. Bradford and Colonel Smith. better known as Ulrich. were counter feiting in the house, without the knowl- edge or consent of Mrs. Smith, the les see of the house. or the prisoner, until few hours before their arrest
