Atlanta, Ga. June S.-John L. Conley

on trial in the superior court before Judge
John s. Gambler to-day for perjury
The indictment against Conley was re-
turned by the grand jury upon information
lodged by Reuben Arnold. Jr.. another
well known attorney. For the past ten
or fifteen years Conley has been almost
constantly before the courts as a liugant

and his father were on the other side
Several years ago the Arnolds went out to

Several Buildings Damaged at Salinas
and Other Places.

SAN FRANCISCO, June N.-Late reports
regarding the earthquake show that 1t was
quite severe at Salinas, the county seat of
Monterey county The more prominent
buildings damaged are the armory of
Troop c., which had its walls badly cracked

down, and the Farmers Union building.
The latter had an old crack in the front

three inches wide In the interior of the
latter building bricks fell and the plastering
was damaged. The Salinas Hotel and Jen-

THE FARLEY WILL CASE.
Disputing Now on Character of Mayor
Wilson of NObIesviIIe.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NOBLESVILLE, Ind, June N.-To-day
begins the fourth week of the famous Far
ley will case, now on trial at Lebanon on
a change of venue from this county. No
case in recent years has attracted so much
attention in this locality. The prominence
of the parties connected with the case and
! the bitterness with which it is being con-
tested makes it really sensational. Mrs.
Jennie Farley, testatriX of the WILL was a
sister to Walter n. Evans and eX-Congress-
man James L. Evans BY the terms of the
Will, which is being attacked by her sur
VlVing brothers, she gave all her property
to her niece Mrs. Jennie Hawkins, daugh-
ter of DR.. j., M. Gray, of this. city. The
will was not found at the time of her death
in July, 1896 but several weeks afterwards
it was found by William Hawkins, hus-
band of the legatee, in an old ice chest. The
date of the will was May &c. 1885, and it
was witnessed by William Lowther and
w. w. Williams before F. b. Pfaff, a no
dead. The will is being contested on the
ground of forgery. This is the second trial,
the first one terminating abruptly on &C
count of an inadVertent remark of one of
the jurors. In this trial. which is now
drawing to a close, the defense has proved
by large number of witnesses that it was
the intention of Mrs Farley to give her
property to Mrs. Hawkins and it has also
proved the genuneness of the signatures to
the will by large array of witnesses. On
the other hand the plaintiffs have had an
equal number of witnesses testifying that
the signatures are foregries; they also have
strong proof that the typewriter on which
the will was written was not in use in
May, 1895, at the time the Will is said to
have been made. The sensation of the trial
occurred last week when Edgar G. Wilson,
mayor of this city, went on the stand and
testified that he was called by Mrs. Farley
as witness to her will. This evidence was
not offered in the former trial and it came
as a great surprise to all parties concerned.
This new evidence was like a firebrand in
the camp of the plaintiffs ard aroused them
to the strongest and bitterest warfare The
next day after Wilson testified twenty-five
leading citizens of Noblesville went to Leb-
anon and testified against his character for
truth, veracity and morality. This morn
ing probably twice that number went to
Lebanon to sustain the mayors character.
On his testimony will depend largely the
verdict of the jury, and his character be-
fore the world will decide the weight to be
given his testimony. Hence the great fight
on this point. The animosities aroused by
this case in this community will take years
q heal

NO THOUGHT OF REsIGNING.
Gov. Mount and RefOrrnatOry Board
in Perfect Accord.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE,I Ind, June H-Gov-
ernor Mount, James r. Henry of the board
of managers of the ReformatOry, and E. P.
Bicknell, secretary of the State Board of
Charities, arrived here at 6 o'clock this
evening, and found Senators Duncan and
Ellison and Mr. Terhune, the other three
members of the board already present.
After dining with Warden Hert the party
adjourned to the RefOrmatory and made a
tour of inspection of the cellhouses. The
Governor seemed considerably Impressed
with the cleanliness and order displayed
on all sides, as well as with the need of
better ventilation in the two older cell
houses. Owing to the crowded condition
of the institution, fully $50 prisoners have
to be accommodated in the corridors.
After the inspection the Governor and the
board held an informal conference behind
closed doors in the office of Superintendent
Hert The subject of the Governors crit
iciSmS of the management was not touched
on but it is safe to say that there Will be
no designations of members of the board.
The chief cause of feeling on the part Of
the board was not the things that mad
been said at their meeting with the Gov
ernor in Indianapolis last Tuesday, but the
published interviews of the Governor. 1t is
explained that the things criticised by the
Governor occurred before the present board
took charge and the Governor expressed
confidence in the intentions and ability of
the board and particularly in Superintend-
ent Hert to make the institution the pride
of the State. On the question of funds that
can only be expended with his approval
he stated last week that he is willing that
these funds should be used wherever 1t Is
shown him to be necessary.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 21-The pay

Company over its Chicago division between
Kansas City aud Chicago has returned to

ports from Chicago, the amount the COM
