Lee was at this time three lengths ahead of Ross, lead which he maintained at the next turning point and nearly the whole distance to the finishing point. Ross gained little near the finish, but Lee won by about eight feet. 11Lue Le0 10 4S, hOsS 1oOI ElI1Otb WAS third. Plaisted said the time was the best ever made.

Frank James, Triai-Ths Effort to Estab-
 fish AIIbf.
 GALLATIN, Aug. 31.-In the Frank James trial the defense to-day concluded their line of impeaehing the States witnesses. James s. Dunastero, justice of the peace, was the first witness this morning. He testified that at the coroner's inquest on the body of Wood Hite Mrs. Bolton testified that she had not seen Frank James for two years and then at her fathers house.
 Before the next witness was called Colonel Phillips stated that General Shelby was at the door and desired to make statement. When the General came in lie saIuted the court with courteous bow and said: 'sIf anything that may have said or done yesterday of tended the dignity of the court regret it exceedingly. As to the other parties have no regrets" Judge Goodman replied: ''Gen- eral Shelby, your conduct yesterday in ap- bearing before the court in an unfit condi- tion and showing an insubordinate spirit was reprehensible in the extreme, as it was not only a defiance of the dignity of the court, but calculated to prejudice the interests of the defendant. You are man of national reputation and enjoy the respect and confidence of large number of the people of Missouri. can only say was much astonished at your very reprehen- sible action of yesterday. It is the testimo- ny that you have drawn pistol right in the court, which is in itself contempt"
 General Shelby interrupting- is faIse''
 The court-sThe marshal of Lexington testified to it under oath.''
 General SheIby-t"Ehen he lied"
 The Court-'sThe court is amply satisfied with your apology to it. but your attitude towards the attorneys for the State yesterday in answering in threatening and offensive manner and the fact of calling them to 8 per sonaI account cannot be overlooked" The court fined General Shelby $10, which he paid.
 J. c. Mason, Anamos DuvaI, W. D. Rice and James Duval all impeached the +estimo- ny of the Fords and Boltens, testifying that they had heard them say they had not seen Frank James for years and he had gone south and was trying to lead better life.
 John Samuels, a half brother of Frank James and an inmate of Samuels' household, had not seen Frank James before the Winston robbery since 1876 and then at home. There was striking family resemblance between Wood Hte and Frank James. Adjourned.

successful issue. The Merchants and Bank.
 ers company originated among coserie of
 brokers who needed private wires between
 here and Philadelphia, and the venture
 proved so satisfactory that the line was ex-
 tended to Baltimore and Washington. With
 Tn a short time this youthful company has
 practically absorbed the Southern Telegraph
 company, and if the reports are true that it
 has likewise secured the lines of the Rapid company fairly efficient opposition compa- ny will be put in the field at once. It is un- oerstood that if the Bankers and Merchants obtain control of the Rapid that company's plant will be materially strengthened in New England and the oil regions and elsewhere. Wherever it may be deemed affective and that new lines will be speedily built from Cleveland to Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville and other points In the mean time that branch of the proposed system which IS organized and operated as the South srn Telegraph company is to be extended with all possible dispatch to Charleston, Sa- Vannah and New Orleans. Everything in connection with this new telegraph scheme has been kept very quiet, but unless some unexpected obstacle is thrown in the way 'hsre is strong probability that the pro- srarome outlined above will be carried out.

 ANNAPOLIS, Aug. SIN. M. Young, third class, is charged with detaining and drilling in the washroom the following of the fourth class cadets: G. W. Galloway, F. G. Moore, H. W. Msgee and W. P. Eyre. The testi- mony of these gentlemen was that the ac- cused did not in any way melest or delay them in the washroom, as charged. Mr. Mages was made to go to the bathroom through window, but by whom he does not know as he was not long enough on board ship to recognize the persons. AS the cruise he was unable to recognize any of those who made him go through the win dow. He thought Mir. Young, the accused, was not among the number. The court then adjourned till 10 o'clock tomorrow, when MT. W. P. Eyre will be called. The testimony to-day shows that the fourth class men are very unwilling witnesses and the most searching questions are asked them with out avail Whenever they can acquit their the third class, they do so. The court evidently understands this and puts questions to cover every phase of the case. Verdicts will be rendered after testimony is received by the superintendent.

The claim sets up that the United States is responsible for the payment of cer- tain bonds repudiated by Georgia in 1869 in aid of the Brunswick railroad. Inasmuch as these bonds were repudiated during the ad- ministration of a provisional governor ap- pointed by the United States, the bond holders maintain that the federal govern ment is responsible for them.
