W. Johnson, colored, the attorney-;——cr
of Liberia, it lisa just been learned by his
son here, waa murdered in Monorvia,

the most prominent members of the gov
ernrarnt cabinet of Liberia, and bad occu
pied bia post as attorney-general since
1808. He was bom in Vermont,
March 12, 1822, and later removed
to Canandaigua, in tliia State,
where he became widely known as a vig.
orous champion of his race. He traveled
quite extensively and ieolured in behalf
of the emancipation of the negroes. He
wra, moreover, gifted in the way of ora
tory end was a stirring speaker. He stud
ied law In Canandaigua, and in 1860 went
to Liberia in the Interest of lbs New Jer
sey Colonization Society. Here bis talents
were quickly appreciated, snd ten years
later he obtained a cabinet appointment.
His wife, who accompanied him to Africa,
died, and be took a second, snd upon her
death, a thim wife. The last, Hester
Simpson, was .‘13 years old. and continu
al disagreement came between tbe two.
She boasted that she married him only for
bis money. Her unfaithfulness enraged
tbe old min, snd it was during
scene resulting from one of her a
cipades that she attacked him
tn almost helpless criopis from
p.iralysls, and inflicted frightful injuries
which resulted in his death. The woman
was tried at two different terms of court,
cunricted. and sentenced to life Imprbon
ment. There was great indignation
against her, snd it was only by the most
determined effort of her lawyers that she
escaped tbe gallows. Johnson's two
dsnghtsrs by his Hrst wife lire in
Monrovia, Mrs. T. N. Willln, wife of the
minister of tbe interior of the Liberian
Unvernment. and Mrs.H. W. Witherspoon,

his coffee plantation of 1,800 acres, valued
at $10,000. Young Johnson is very bright

Pittsbitbo, Pa., September 11.— On I
count oi the depression in trade, the Ed ear
Thompson Steel Company today no Hied
their employes that unless they accepted
la reduction of wap--, a suspension of op
orations would be necessary. Andrew
i‘arneg!e is the head of the company,
which employs 8,000 men. The probahhil
tics are that tbe reduction will be accepted,
as the number of idle men in the vicinity
is greater now then It has been at ant-
rime during tbe past ten years. Only
about half tits milts snd glass factories
are in operation. There is great distress
amohg the poor, and In consequence tbe
poor board officials bsve nearly exhausted

it lisa six months yet to run. ft is esti
mated that there are 4.000 vacant rooms
in the city on account of the poorer class-1
doubling up lo save expenses.

THE BLAINE LIBEL SUIT.

Indianamlis, September 11.—It has

suit, has volunteered Ids services lo the
plaintiff. Mr. Claypole is a lawyer of ripe
experience end remarkable eloquence snd
ability. He is also a Democrat who bae
