Sept. 11.—The jury in the case of Ovie Holt, who was tried here for the murder of Lowry Copley at Linton, returned a verdict of ac quittal after being out one hour. A Modern Shipwreck, Tn an account of the wreck of the sailing ship Carnarvon Bay on King Ishind, Australia, it is related that when the vessel struck the captain easily took a cigar from his pocket, bit the end off and lit it before order ing the boats to be launched. Even this display of lack of fear did not en tirely prevent some degree of panic among the men, however, and seven men pushed off in the port lifeboat, leaving twenty-two to scramble duote the starboard seat In spite of the captain’s orders the men in the port boat refused to come alongside, and those in the starboard boat shouted that if they did not put off the masts would fall on them. Instead of hurry ing to the boat the captain stretled to his cabbin and collected his papers. After he had entered the boat he transferred Hye men to the port boat and made for Tasmania, 100 miles away. We and the mates steered in turn, while the men bailed with empty biscuit tins, and forty-eight hours huer both boats reached land.—Chicago News,
