ESPECIAL TO THE sESrINEL.l


25.-To-day the President and Secretary
Lincoln, Senator West, Gen. Sheridan and
Judge Rollins drove over to DEVILS Acre.
To their dismay their camp was invaded
by the advance guard OF the Rufus Hatch
expedition. The foreigners Of the Hatch
party lost no time in endeavoring TO place
themselves on good terms with the men,
bers Of the Presidential camp. The atten-
tions Of the visitors finally became SO
obnoxious that the Presidents camp was
suddenly broken up, and the party made a
strike through the mountains towards the
Yellowstone. They will spend but q few
hours at the Park proper, and then aban-
don it for the grand and picturesque por-
tons. There is serious trouble among the
attaches of the party, and Capt. Hayes,
who commanded it, is under arrest for
disobedience of the Presidents orders.
The Outlaws Trial.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 31.-A special from
Gallatin says the defense in the Frank
James trial continue their line of impeach-
ing the States witnesses. Jas. 8. Demast-
ers, Justice of the Peace, testified at the
Coroner's inquest on the body of Wood
Hite. Mrs. Bolton testified she had not
seen Frank James for two years, and then
at her fathers house.
Col. Phillips then rose and stated that
Gen. Shelby desired to make a statement
to the Court. When the General came in
he saluted the Court with a courteous bow
and said: "If anything that / may have
said or done yesterday offended the dignity
of the Court / regret it exceedingly; as to
the other parties, | have no regrets"
Judge Goodman replied: 'Gen. Shelby,
your conduct yesterday in appearing before
the Court in an unfit condition, and show
ing an insubordinate spirit, was repre-
hensible in the extreme, as it WAS not only
in defiance Of the dignity of the Court, but
calculated to prejudice the interest OF de-
PENDANT. You are q man OF national repu-
tation, and enjoy the respect and conf
dence of a large number Of people in Mis-
souri,. / can only say that / was much
sstonished at your very reprehensible
action yesterday. 1t ia in testimony that
you havedrawn a pistol right in the verge
OF the court, which is in itself a contempt
OF Court.
Gen. Shelby Gnterrupting)-That, sir,
is false.
The Court-The Marshal Of Lexington
testified to it under oath.
Gen. Shelby-Then he lies.
The Court-The Court is amply satisfied
with your apology to it, but your attitude
towards the attorney for the State yester-
day in answering in q threatening and
offensive manner and talk Of calling them
to personal account, cannot be overlooked.
The Court then fined Gen. Shelby $40,
which he paid and passed out of the Court.
J.. @. Mason, Annsnias Duval, W. D.
Rice and james Duval all impeached the
testimony of the Fords and Baltons. They
testified they had heard them say they had
not seen Frank James for years, n that
he had gone south. John I. Samuels, a
half-brother Of Frank James, testified that
in MAY, 1881, he heard Jesse James and
Dick Liddell. at his mothers house, say
they had left Frank in Kentucky. There
was q striking resemblance between Wood
Hite and Frank James. Frank James was
at his home with his sister, witness wife.
He found him there on his return from a
trip to Texas. Next saw him yesterday in
Jail. The witness was rigidly cross-ex-
smined. He did not make q good witness.

New YORK, Aug. H.-A st. Johns, N.
f., special says the fleet OF United states
fishing vessels which arrived here last
night report q violent storm on the great
banks ON Sunday last. The gale rose from
the eastward at 8 A. M, when q hundred
dories from the vessels were ~overhauling
the trauls. Capt. Hitler reports scores OF
dories turned upside down, and wreckage
was strewn in every direction along his
track, coming westward. A FRENCH banker
lost four dories and all the crews. II 10
computed, from all sources OF informa-
lion. that 100 dories and 80 men were lost
in the storm. Most Of the dories were
swept by the waves from the schooner
decks and the remainder collapsed In the
