The CHARGES AGAINST CAPTAIN Ere
MAUA.-ln Justice Staes court, yesterday
inc case OF Captain Fremaux on the charges
mace by Katie Shannon came M. The
courtroom was crowded. Katie Shannon
was called, and her counsel then said he
Withdrew from the case, stating that be
oeheved Captain Fremaux innocent. Cap
tain Fremaux's counsel insisted on the case
oelDg proceeded with. Having been charg
ed with heinous offense, and the matter
made public the defense must have the
same advantage. Katie Shannon then
testified that she was not treated as a mar
ried woman should be, that in Captain Ere.
maux's room she did not scream because
she was afraid, and that she told her
counsel the charges were unfounded.
Governor Kellogg testified that he had
refused to grant her a pardon. He had
thought she might be sent to the Charity
Hospital considering her condition. Her
counsel brought her to his residence and
informed him OF the alleged outrage, and
ne told them there was a remedy under the
law. Mr.. Chester testified he had made
arrangements to have her placed in the
workroom on conviction. Mr.. Shannon,
Ihe husband, was not allowed to testify.
Dr. Schumacher had attended Mrs. Shan
non, but made no examination OF her per-
son: A little brother of Mrs. Shannon test
flied contradictorily to her. The absence
OF captain tremaux on the occasion re-
1erred to by Mrs. Shannon was proved.
1t will be seen by the above summary
that there was no testimony against Cap
tain Fremaux and that he was uniustly
CHARGED with onvp,nittin~
against Mrs. Shannon's person, and that
Justice Staes was justified in honorably dis
charging him.

man, Stansbury stood no chance in such a
contest. However, in the melee, Stansbury

MARSHALL SCHOOL EXCURSION. - The
teachers and pupils of Marshall School, de
string to depart from the old routine OF
suburban pIcnics, on last Wednesday united
in an excursion over the lake to Vaudeville
Under the direction of +. A. Golden, Esq.
principal. with Mr.. NELLY and Misses
Mayer, Redwood, Porter and COlayanni,
assistants, the young gentlemen of the
school and quite number of invited guests,
numbering in all about one hundred and
thirty, embarked on the POntchartrain rail.
road. and in due time arrived at the ''lake
end" where they found the steamer Came
simply delightful. The boys realized the
value of their freedom and enjoyed it ac-
cordipgly. The boat seemed literally alive
with them; no spot was inaccessible. and as
their teachers would try to keep watch
over them, it would seem that each boy
was everywhere at one time. The guests
were not idle in the meantime. Excellent
music had been provided, and all were lost
in the pleasures of the dance. To see the
bright, happy faces of the pupils must have
been a qualification to the teachers, and the
Joyous peals of laughter mingling with the
enlivening strains Of music was we'll calcu-
lated to drive care from the saddest heart.
Reaching Vaudeville little before twelve
o'clock the party Immediately repaired to
the magnificent grove of live oaks on the
lake shore, where, famed by the refreshing
breeze from the lake, the grown folks en-
loved themselves in dancing, walking, etc,
while with the boys fishing, bathing and
blackberrying became the order of the day
About haff.past two bountiful supply OF
refreshments was spread, when substan.
tials, sweet-meats and ices were found to
be in good demand Scarcely had the re-
past been finished when a shower caused a
general scattering for a neigEboring house
This, however, was Of short duration, pass
ing off SO as to give ample time for reach
ing the wharf, and two or three dances
there before the steamer was ready to re
turn.
Leaving Vaudeville little before five
o'clock the excursionists reached the city
by half-past eight, after a days pleasure
with which all seemed we'll satisfied, anC
with no greater accident than the loss of {
few hats. Mr.. Golden had made his ar
rangements complete before starting, ant
after starting nothing was to be done ex
cept for all to enjoy themselves.
