Aug. 22 The cyclone VThici rared at Ilocbester, Minn., last night is reported to have bren very severe. Twenty, four ar9 reported kil:ed and fifty cr more injured. Vague rumors of a train being blown from the -track are also coming in, but no particulars.

Mayor of Rochester telegraphs for assistance, and states that twenty-five killed and about forty injured. One-third of the town is an entire wreck. It is believed frcm all reports , that come in that the whole country surrounding Rochester is in ruin. The killed may ifc?ch up into the hundreds, if. Cole, proprietor of tho Zambrota Mills at Hunibrota, was instantly killed. He was in the mill when the storm strack the town and the building was wrecked.

A passenger train on the Rochester and Northern Railroad was blown from the track last night during the cyclone and a number of persons killed and wounded. Governor Hubbard has just received word from Rochester, Minn., stating the town was in ruins and forty persons killed. It was impossible to learn any of the details, as the telegraph, wires were all down. The Btorm in other directions was only severe hail storms, and bo great de mage was done. Particulars are coming in on a special train. Wisoxa, Minn., Aug. 22 At 7 o'clock last evening a cyclone struck the north part of the cily of Rechtster, Minn., making a clean sweep of elevators, residences, railroad engine houses and other property along the raihoed was completely demolished. Mayor Whitten telegraphs twenty-foar killed and forty wounded. The city is in need of clothing, food and assistance. Among the killed is John M. Cole, proprietor .of the planing mill. The list of killed and wounded la hourly increasing. The prostration of the telegraph lines make it diiücut to get particulars. The storm swept the towns of Ltiea and St. Charles, in Winona County. Job Thornton was killed and several others injured. The report from Dodge County indicates much damage, with lea of life. No particulars yet. Mayor Ludwig, of Winona, with a corps of surgeons, left for Rochester this morning. Another accoost ÜWAT05XA, Minn., Aug. 22. Meagre triegraphic advices received here early this - rnorniig state a terrible accident occurred between Rochester and Zambrota, Minn., on Rochester and,Northern Division of the Chi-" caeo and Northwestern Road, by which about ICO people were killed and wounded. On account of wire interruption no information could be obtained till the arrival of the train from the scene of the disaster with thirtylive people who had been wounded in the accident, cf this number many being serious, and all hare been taken to the Hospital. The train wrecked was that which leaves Rochester about 4 p. m.. arriving at Zumbrota about ü o'clock. It was caught in a severe wind and bail-storm that prevailed in that vicinity between 4 and J o'clcck, and while running at high speed wa3 lifted from the rails. A gentleman who ha i been at the scene of the disaster describes it as oce of the most horrifying railroad accidents he ever saw. Every car in the train was completely w.ecked by the sadden stop caused by the train leaving the rails, burying the unfortunate passengers beneath the debris, killing, maiming and injuring nearlv every person aboard. The gentleman abated that r.ir.c df ad bodies had been taken from the ruirs, and a large number of those who were reriously wounded had been taken to Rochester and Owattonna, At the time he hit the wotk of extricating the unfortunate victims was still progressing.

It was a beautiful little City Of 3,000 or 0,000 inhabitants. Moat of the boutes were brick and many stately business blocks. Indefinite dispatches reached here earely this morning of the terrible effects of the cyclone, but all wires down, o no additional news could be kad directly within the ruined district.

E Aüsvii.LE, Ind., Aug. 24. The youthful ! murderers of Mount Vernon have made a i full confession of the horrible crime. There ! is little difference in the statements of Snyder aEd Anderron, other than the one wants i to shift the throat-cutting onto the other, j Snyder says that he and Anderson met Yan- ' way, the victim, on the levee at 8 o'clock ! Friday morning; that they went some disi tance from the iron bridge to go ' in swimming. After arriving there they tried t' borrow some monjy frcni Vanway. He refused to loan theui an-. Anderson tben knocked him down and cut his throat. 'I hen they took his money and threw his body into the river. He also stated that they hid hat in a cornfield, and the knife in a I rush the murdered man's that Anderson threw heap near the bridg After Snyder had made hisconfetsion an nllicer took him out ot the Jail and allowed hi in to go and show him where they had thrown tie knife. The knife wai found u a biush heap. It is a common woodenhanaled knife with a blade about two inches lutg. Anderson made the fjl!owin ttitemenl : '-Zieh Sayder ail I met Vnway on the levee ciidcr the Heming mill warehouse. We were going up to gj in aimniiag. I asked Vanway to g along. Ha went with us up abnve the iron bridr J. After we got there Snyder tried to b :rrow aoaie money from Vanway, but he wouid nat let him have it. We got fparrinc and Vanway hi; me a h 1 of a lick, and I knocked him down. He got up ai.d said that I mut not do ttat again. Snyder then knocked Lim dorn with a club and sat on his head. I held h:s feetard legs while Snyder cut his throat. Heboirowed the knife from me. Vanway did not fay anythirg except. ' My God, Y.izk, don't kill me:" He it rubied a little when Snyder cut his throat, but not much. We then took his money and put him in the river, anj by G d he (Snyder) rods him into the river like yon would a horse, and stayed on his back till he sunk. Snyder gave me $4 and kept $10 himself, saving: '-You know 1 did the work and should have the most money.' Snyder's clothes were all wet, and he went home and hung them out on a line to dry. I did not get any blood on me because I held his feet, but Snyder got his raiits all bloody. His mother washed them. Snyder hid tfie bat in a cornfield, and said it would not be found until next fall. lis tbrew my knife into the brush-heap near the biidge, and told my mother about ths killing on Saturday night, and she told me to have nothing mere to do with Snyder." Snyder is a email, dart-complected mn about twenty-one years of age, and nearlv live ff et.ten inches hib, weighing about 130 po nds. He has a downcast look, and has bet 11 weeping nearly all the time since bis art st. Anderson ij slim, twenty-one yerj old, and five feet ten inches high, weighing 1.0 pounds. He is defiant in his manner, utters an calh with, nearly every sentence, and dances and sings in his cell. He seems to be under the impression that the denial of the cutting part of the fiendish job will result in his acquittal. At the preliminary trial both men were sent to Jail without bail, to await the action of the Circuit Court. SEEING THE BIGQTi. The Fresident and Tarty Inspecting the Oeysers of the National Park.

It is nearly at the head of the Upper Geyaer basin, within sight and hearing of the Old Faithful Geyser. A late breakfast was the reward of yesterday's long march over dusty trail and through burned and fallen timber. To-day an examination of the wonders here began at an hour considerably later than the one usual for our daily start on the march. Btfore 1 o'clock luncheon the President and most of the members of the party had, on horseback, explored nearly all of this basin. They were retarded by being present at the Grand Geyser at the time of one of iis great eruption?, the Thre Giants being Mmultaneously in action. The crater of the Grand Is about thirty feet in dimeter, and the height of the ejected column of wa'er is nearly :WO feet. To day there were eiht eiuptiCEs, the time of the whole being fortytwo minutes. This afternoon the President, Secretary of War, General Sheridan and several others of the party went to Hell's Half Acre, about a mile below here, to visit the famous Sheridan GeyEer, which became active enly three years ago. It was described by Professor Teal ai a hot spring in which buttei flies, grasshoppers and other objects were rapidly encrusted with deposits of fcilica grin de. Baronet first discovered that the epring had become an active geyser in the summer of General Sheridan's hret visit to the Park, and it was named in honor of the GentrsL The Old Faithful has to-day been laundress of the command. Articles of Clothing thrown into the crater, when returned in her fitful humor, are washed per fectly clean. It is advised, however, that fabrics of ailk or woolen be not given to her to wash, as they are usually torn into shreds or not returned at all. The President and all members of the party are well, and enjoy, perhaps, as much as anything else, the evening gathering around the social carapfire. AITKU ABTHCK.

"Friend, tfcere is one thirg I find 1 can not do, and that ii to keep alive my letentment." I use the word friend in order to be nondescript. He came forwMd then aud slapped me on the knee.

Said he, "I ca not remember injuries." One morning the newa came to me that he was shot by a coward, the same coward getting his inspiration from political desperadoes.

The following are the particulars of the murder trial which has occupied the attention and time of the Martin Circuit Court at Shoals for the past ten days, the Jury being instructed arid sent ont to consider its verdict yesterday. On Tuesday morning, the 11th, Jddge Wilson being sick, he appointed Hon. Ephraim Moser, of the Martin County Rar, to preside at the trial. Judge Wilson made no mistake in his selection, as from accounts Mr. Moser presided with dignity, ability and Impartiality. The State waa represented by Hon. II. C. Duncan, of Bloomington, Proseonting Attorney Lewis Stephens, of Martin County, his Deputy, and Fred L. Prow, of Balem, while the defense was conducted by Judge W. R. Gardner, of Washington, Hons. C. 6. Robbies, James T. Rogen and Thomas II. Clarke, of Shoals. The case WBS hotly contested and tedious one to try, fthe theory of the prosecution being a cold blooded assassination on account of fear of e.tpoeeure cf a larceny of some money and 8 dislike Of the attentions of the deceased to a cousin of the defendant While the theory of the defence was a fend over a I girl; that deceased threatened the life of defendant; that at the time of the shooting the defendant believed that he was being attacked with a knife (though none was found) by the deceased. The killing occured on the Braxton farm in Martin County on th 4th of December last, about as follow: Barney Patrick, the defendant, and Rufoj J. Parmeter were employed there as hands; be

fore daylight two other hands had preceded them, when Parmeter started for the barn followed soon after by Patrick. They got together in a branch lot near the barn;. two shots were red and Farmeter was heard by the men who had receded them call out, "Strut, oh Strot!" (that being the came of cne el the men) as he ran against the gate separsjtingfthe lot from the barn and fell and died in a Jew m ments, while Patrick, with an oath, waa heard to fay, "Yon'll not crow over me any more," or words to that effect. ; One of the Shots cut a small notch in deceased's hat-rim and the ether struck deceased about the center of breast and about two inches above tbe lower end ot the sternum. Patrick left the same day, but was arrested in Illinois and brought back soon after. Th evidence showed there had been an estrangement between Parmeter and the cousin of Patrick, caused by the latter, but it had been made up. It also showed some threats during the time by Parmeter, but it was contended they were not commuiiicated to defendant There

were seme very vicious threats proven on I 1 atricK, uiaae the night before the mnrd?r, among which was the statement, "I will kill Parnieter in themornins as he g)es to the barn to feed," acd I have as gf'o'i a thirry- j two as ever tired, you will hoar repirt m the morning."

Fire c curred at ; j o'clock this morning in the operating rooms of the Western Union Telegraph Company's office, this city, it is supposed from a defective Hue. The lloor of the room was vry much burned and flooded by water. (The building burned was a six-story stone front structure at the corner of La Salle and Washington streets, occupied by the Western Union Telegraph Company. Associated Prep, Telephone Companies, etc. Superintendent WalUek, of this city, says the fire originated, probably. In a crot ere la tbe butteries of the Western Union Company. His information is that the fifth story, the Western Union battery roeniB, the wires of the Corrpa'iy and ths roof of the building were destroyed. The remainder of the t ml 1 1n was damaged chicly by water. Superintendent Wal lick forwarded te Chicago the new switching board intended for the new quarters in this city, and it ia hoped to rnw couuectiers fully within twenty-four tours.1 The Mutual Union w ires, meantime, are bring nscd and communications will be only temporarily impaired. Seven wlrea are s'ill In working order bctwesn this tlty and Chicago. Delays to-day. ot course, are cccunirg. The oOices of theChicigoandof the Central Telephone Companies are in the second tioor of ILe butliing. The third is occupied by the Associated Press, General Buperlotaadent of the Western Union, Supenatendant of Construction, and others, and the fourth is occupied by tho American Pre8 Association and others. Ol))- limited particnlars of the lire have b?ea hl, ard no estimate of the damage done can yet be made. The 2i3 Western Union operators employed will not be out of service longer than to-day. Ihe fire at the Western Union Company this evening has evoked ystem out of the confusion precipitated by the destruction of tbeir main operating room, an army of linemen has been employed throughout the day discontecting the labyrinth of wire, which make tbeir way into the ruins of the old building acd connecting them with the Merchants Union building across the way. The Telegraph Company estimates tho loss will not exceed $15,000 to 20,000. No insurance. Lots on building, f :'0,00O. Loss toother tenants cot to exceed $10.C0O. The building was insured for $130,000. An order, has been given fcr the immediate reconstru-jt ion of the boildirg, and in doing so the architects have been directed to plan one of the finest operating rooms in the world. All the instra ments of the Company were saved. Twentyfive wires had been connected with the new operating room at U this evening, and by to-morrow the Company anticipates having a full force at work. The two banks burned cut sought quarters in the vicinity, and succeeded in transacting their nsual business. The Associated Press is temporarily sequestered in the office of the Times. Workmen will commence to clear away tbe ruins tomorrow, and expect to be ready for reoccupancy in a month to six weeka. Ciicuits to the West and Northwest were cut out during the greater pnrtion of the day, and dispatching in these directions had first to go east and south. To-night the Company has its northwestern circuits in working order again, and all business is being cared for as usual. It was a field day for ail the leading oiricials of the Company. General Superintendent Clowry, Superintendent Tubbs, Electrician Summers and Manager Mereness were on the ground within five minutes after the fire broke out, and the Company was enabled not only to handle the bulk of the business otTered during the day, but placed its equipment in shape to bandle its usual run to-morrow. Later investigation goes to show the original theory ' of the lire to be the correct one, and that it waa due to the close proximity of a iras jet to the switch board, setting it on fire, and not to ci of sing two duplex wires, as stated.

He then lived in exile successively in coUand, Australia and for a shcrt time in Italy until 1S15, when he established himself in Lenden, where the large fortune be que athed him by the Puke de Blacaa enabled him to live mneetTle. la lSjl be inherited tbe domain of Frob&dorf. near Vienna, where he tas since generally resided, in August. lA be attended a gathering ef Legitimists at Wiesbaden and In 1872 at Antwerp. Upon the downfall of the Orleans Monarchy he hastened to the frontiers cf France and waited for the summons to enter as Its King, and remained Within reach until the establishment of the Empire, when he returned to the attitude of patient walling and close watching. At the beginning of the war with Prursla, ia 1870, he placed his chateau Cbambord at the disposition ef the Soldiers' and Bailors' Aid Society, together with a Kirt of lUO.OOO francs. When tue Err pi re fell and Pa-is was invented oy tbe German troop he went to the Swhs frontier and iisued a prctlsmatlon to France, In which he promised that the foreigners should be driven from the land and the interity of the territory preserved it the reople would rally to him as "a truly National Government, having tot its base law and for its principle honesty."

Later in tbe same year he addressel another proclamation to the French people, offering to reorganize the country upon the piinclple of hiri'imate sovereignty and popular will, "submitting; with confluence the acts of the Government to the serious control of tbe Ke preeentatives freely elected," exercising no dictature save that of clemency, -'because, in the hands of the Monarch, and in his only, clemency Is always justice " The document finished with a phrase that became famous: "The word rests with Fiance; the hour is God s." It was ia possible to do anything for the cause of Monarchy without the union of the Bourbon and Orleans interests. Several attempts to effect this were made, and one obstacle after another removed with tbe exception of tbe ling. On that point the Bourbon was immovable, an engagement had been made by which tbe Comte de Chambord waa acknowledged the bead of the Monarchists, with the Comte de Paris as his pol ideal heir, bat the former would not acknowledge the tricolor as the flag of France, and tne latte r krew It waa hopeless to rally the French acain under the white tlag of the Bourbons. To the last, however, the Bouibou leader was true to his principles. His utmost concession was an expression ot respect'' for the rias ßiaiced with the blood of the French loldiers. but he would Tiever te tbe legitimate King ol a Revolution," and had 'no rhjht to renounce the standard of Arqucs Ivry." In the end he planted himself onca more tqutrelj on the principle of the divine rlhtof klcgs to govern without glviog guarantees that they would govern well.

MONSIONOU CAP I I.. Address at the Newport Casino on the Consistency of Catholicism Audience of the Country' Elite. XEwroBT, R. L, Aug.2G. Monsignor Capel, at the Casino Theater, this noon, delivered his nrst lecture in America. His audience was composed almost exclusively of Newport cottsgers.. It was an audience of which any speaker might feel proud. The fine building was comfortably filled, acd the ladies were handsomely dressed. While the gentleman was speaking, the noise from the ten-pin alley, the strains from the orchestra, and the sounds of feet upon the piazzas were plainly heard, but they did not seem to disturb him. Lawn tennis games were also in progress. The eyes of all present were riveted upon the speaker, whese eloquent words were listened to with deep interest, and from first to list Le held the undivided attention of all. He is a ready and lluent speaker, aud ftsrinV.es, even if be dots not convince, all who have bad the pleasure of listening to his logical argoments. He began his lecture by saying that among tbe many and interesting questions which bad been put to him since his arrival in America was one which had been framed in various forms, but which was, in substance, "How is it possible for a man endowed with reason and gifted with culture, to believe in Catholicism, and accept a system apparently eo ccntrrdictCTy and so absurd ."' Tbe question Las been put gentiy, aud in an ir.qainng spirit, but the speaker thought he ciu'd have no better opportunity to answer it, and cocscqccntly he would strive to put before his bearers tie consistency of Catholicism, and its consistency with itself and with human rat are. It was possible to kok at that question from two different etandini?, and get most contradictory views of it. He only asked for patient hearers, while he presented Catholicism from inside and not from outside the Church. He then continued: There are three primary truths to be taken Into consideration. 1. We have to admit the existence of s.n Infinite Being, a God whom we ought to serve. 2. On that God we depend, having our being from Him and being responsible te him. 3. If we are dependent on Go 3. it necessarily follows that He will make known His will that we may do It. In how many ways, then, is this last brought about? These ways are two in number the light of reason and the light of revelation. When man fell he was not destroyed ; he was sun composed of body and soul, and his soul was possessed of reason and will. But reason receive! a wound, became prone to error. You all kuow the commandments, but you must confess you have not kept them. Malice affected the will. Can we know God by reason aloue? The answer of history ia no. Never baa there been a people without an ideal of a relng greater than thtmselvee. KeaFonisnotsnHlclent for tbe human race, though there Is the Impress of the hand of God on reason; yet man, guldt d by that alone, has often gone astray. Nor Is the Nineteenth Century exempt from this. Turn ycurtkoughts to the great cities of this country and abroad, where luxury end culture reign, you see that the idea9 of the f acred cess of the mairiege tie, of the principles of business and ccinmerce, are by no means perfect, I am permitted to reason the knowledge of God and assistance from Kim, and nave shown that the will can respond to reason only up to a certain point, and needa further light. How ia thi revelation made knewn to me? We are not prophets. There are but three portals of the seul. First, we may gather knowledge by use ofthetenses; second, we may obtain it from primary iiuihsby the process of deduction; third, some things can be obtained by neither of these metbrds. and we must rely ou tne testlmouy of otbeis. Revelation is not through the senses, for you i ever saw Christ, never was present when He was on earth, never witnessed the crucifixion. It does not come by deduction, for there is no axiom fit m which you can deduce the fact that Christ was to die upon the cross. K Jt another Foarce rerrairs, and that is testimony. The testlmouy xnuFt be entire and certain, for It Is the revelation cf God'awiil. Chiistaipoina a body of Judges tobemtupictersof tbe law. la Him was all revelation completed, lie selected disciples from tbore He taught and f aid to them. "As tbe Father hath ftnt me, SO I send you." His mission waa to pieach the Gespel and to do good, acd so 113 sent them with a divide rnlsslou. I take tbe Hible aDd say: "I believe the whole of ttat." I open and wad its pares. I have more reVtla ticn, tut EO more facts, for 1 believed it all before. I bellet e beciufe He ha? spoteu, and Ills agents taught Hi wordr. God. who inll is wisdom aw the weakcess of reason, give fall revelation. Tbe knowledge so recJived excludes all Coubt frommyrr ino. I do not say there are not intellectual diiliculiies. I have a ngtit to rpiettioa if I ur-dtrs'and aright; b-.it that perplexity settled, I must accept it without a doubt. We know llttleot tbetrutts cf God, but we tniy go tarouijn life knowing that theie 1 knowledge which ti li has given us which is sure aud su(llt. Scieatläc objections are the prodection of the mind of the men cf science, but revelation is more than that acd If ievelation telis me that man la little lower thanai gels, it will take a good dial to convince me that he is only an improved monkey. Hew is it possible to icceive 6treogth to God's nill? Revelation says God has given to every man grace stinident to lave bis own soul. You bear wiih you a monitor that tclla yon when you do right, thatreprcacbea jou when you do wrong. Revelation rrakes krown that there la a perpetuated strength. You may be purified as 'l ten aa you fel. Revelation gives peace and pardon to the aianer. strergth and grace to the disciple. It proclaims that you rout remember that you are but sojourn. er bete, trat yon have a life and home besond. Keep jour mind fl-ved on that home and the crown that awaita you. and you will be cubmisMve to sufferings and troubles. Your heart wifl be in your eternal home, and you will be leaving thia world for the next. Cod makes known revelation to us that must be received as tettimony, but a testimony that is undoubted, lie gave It to twelve to be perpetuated by them. "When he bad finished the audience slowly left the house, and it was evident that they would have gladly listened to him for an hour longer. A ratal etab. Nashvili.k, Ang. 27.

A TAX DODGER.

How Judge Hilton Cheated Chicago Oat oC Its Taxes and Boasts of It. Sakatckia, Aug. 27. Oa an evening train outbound from New York a few evenings since your correspondent occupied a seat directly behind a couple of gentlemen, one of whom he recognized as Judge Hilton, who succeed to the management of the late A. T. Stewart's business. That firm, it will be remembered, at one time had a branch house in Chicago. The other gentleman, in the course of a conversation between the two, mentioned Chicago as an enterprising city, and a good place to make money. This drew from Judge Hilton some very forcible remarks, which are here reproduced, as they seem to refer to some uncollected taxes which, are due to Chicago from the assignees of A. T. Stewart .t Co. "Yes," said the Judge, "there id any quantity of talk about Chicago and the money to be made there, but I've been thronen the mill and know all about it D n 'em, they're a set of th ieves and thugs, the whole crowd of 'em. All they want is a chance to get their hands in your pocket" "Why," e&id the other, "you must have gotten a wrong impression during your stay in Chicago. A friend of mine bad several thousand dollars there out in loans for two or three years at 10 per cent Ilealwavs get his interest promptly, and found no difh-. cultygetticg his principal when he wanted it" "Your friend's case was exceptional," anBwered Judge Hilton, "and is no criterion in forming an estimate of the character of Chicago bui-iness men. I tell jou," continued the J udr e," using some very violent language, "they'll freeze yon out if you give them half a char ce. We got ahead of them, though, on some taxes levied on our stock a short time before we broke up. They haven't trot their money yet, though, d n 'em, and I'm not prepared to say whether they ever wilL" Judge Hilton's language in speaking of Chicago was most violent, and his satisfaction at having beaten the city out o! a considerable sum in taxes was plainly apparent. The taxes out of which Judge Hilton .claims to have beaten Chicago were levied in ltL Judge Hilton had leased for five years a building at the southeast corner of Washington street and Wabash avenue, to bs used as a branch of the New York dry gols house Of A. T. Stewart & Co. May 1, 1S2, the establishment was assessed $200,000, and upon that assessment would have had to pay $li.000 taxes. The Collector did not get around till December, and six months before, on or about July 1, the firm packed up their goods and departed. The tax levied was for IS-sj, and legally the firm ot A. T. Stewart d Co. did stcop to the petty meanness of b2ating tbe city out of its just dues. 1I1E MISSOURI OUTLAW. Proceedings of tbe James Trial The Defense Confident of Acquittal Dick Ltddell'a Evidence. Et. Locis, Aug. 27. Dispatches from Gallatin state the attorneys for the defense in the Frank James trial express great confidence that if James is convicted, of which they do cot seem to Lave any fear, they can secure a reversal on eeteial grounds. The chief of these are that the alleged pardon of Liddell contained nothing indicating that Governor Brockmeyer actually intended to pardon the convict, but the document wax simply a commutation of sentence, hence his testimony was not admissible. It is also held that not only is it a fact, but that Judge Goodman distinctly ruled that before the pardon could become operative the State mußt prove that it was delivered to the convict, and yet the Judge, after ascertaining frcm the witness that he did not know whether he had ever received any such document aa was offered here in Court, and that he did rot in fact know whether ho had ever received a pardon at all or not admitted the document in evidence, and declared the witness competent to testify. There are still other grounds upon which the defense rely, but these will show that the defendant's counsel intend to ßpht the case to the bitter end. On the other hand, the prosecution is equally determined. Llr. Wallace, tbe leading attorney for the State, fays even bad tbe Court ruled out tbe pardon or declared the witnees incompetent, he would immediately have applied to Governor Crittenden, who was present for a full pardon for Liddell, and the Governor would have been under the necessity of granting it because to refuse to do so would be to virtually pardon Frank James. The trial was resumed this morninr. Mrs. Samuels, mother e.f Frank James, was sworn for the defeme. After which Dick Liddell was cross-examined. It has leaked out that tbe defense will endeavor to prove an alibi. Geteial Joe tbelby being their principal witnes, and further that the Winston gang consisted cf five men, but that Hill Cummicpswosthe fifth man, not Frank James. The lust fact brovght out in examination was that tbe witnon Las been convicted of horse stealing and questioned minutely aa to his movements of the gang during the three years preceding the train robbery, their tripe to Hitcs in Tennessee, and their return to Missouri. Saw General Shelby at his home in is0. Cummings and I we it together; Jesse James and Bill Ryan were behind. YV.tnees denied that Shelby said to Jesfe James that two young men bad been arrested for the Concordia bank robbery, and he (Shelby) did not believe they tad anything to dowiLt it and Jesse replied, pcintirg to the witness, 4 There ia the man who hit the Dutch Cashier on the bead." Witness maintained be had heard no such conversation. After detailing fuither movements tbe witness said the arrar cement to come to Missouri was perfected at Dob llall'a house, in Tennessee. Frank James was net preeent Tbe defense lay great stress on this point Tbe witnees then r arrated his trip, which terminated in the Winston robbery, his direct testimony being unshaken. Liddell was asked if, in company with Jesse James, Wood Hite and Jim Cummings, he did not meet General Joe Shelby in a lane near the Shelby House just after the Winston robbery, and Shelby said to Jesse, "I thought you were dead," and Jesse replied, "You eee I am not" "Where ia Frank.?" asked; the; General. "His health was eo bad that he has been South for several years," replied Jesse, and did cot tbe witness say that he had not seen F.James for two years? The witnees answered that he had not seen General Eheley sit ce the robbery until he met him in Kansas City last Thursday. The witneaa further denied that lie bed told eeveral other persons that Frank James was not at the Winston robteiy. Stabbed Thirteen Times. LorieviLLE, Aug. 7. A. New Haven.
