FIRE ON THE RIVER.


The Stern wheel Steamboat Kitty Hegler,
from Cincinnati, Burned to the Waters
Edge Cause Of the Fire Unknown.
About half past ten o'clock last night
a fire was discovered in the coal room on
board the steamboat Kitty Hegler, lying
at the head of Poydras street. The fire
alarm was Immediately turned in
from the Harbor Station and the
boat cut loose and pushed out from
shore by the police and some men on
the wharf, but before she had gotten out
from her mooring the flames had gained
such Roadway that she was in full blaze
from stem to stern. The tugboats Pro-
tector and Tyler then came to her assist
ance and pulled her out into the cur
rent, and pumped water OH her as she
drifted down the stream, but were un-
able to save her, as she burnt to the
waters edge. fi
The Kitty Heglor was from Cincin-
natl, and was to leave tomorrow even
ing for that point, and was loaded with
sheet iron and molasses. She Is valued
at $4,000. The amount of insurance on
her could not be Hscertained. It was
to learn whether any lives
were lost or not. l4H4 fla

THE BABCOCK TRIAL.
Charge Of Judge Dillon to the Jury-Thc
Verdict, Not Guilty! a

ST. LOUIS. Feb. N.--The United States
Circuit Court was not opened to-day
until after II o'clock, the Judges being
engaged In furnishing the charge to the
jury. As soon as the roll OF the Jurors
was called, Judge Dillon read the in
structions which were very long, includ-
ing In various groups the telegrarns in
troduoed IN evidence. many OF the let
ters introduced, and also oopious ey-
tracts from the Presidents deposition.
At the outset Judge Dillon said, in the
propositions he had to make, he had the
concurrence Of his associate on the
bench, Judge Treat.
He explained to the jury the import
ance OF the case and the reasons which
had made 1t necessary to keep them SO
Isolated. A compliment was paid the
counsel for the management of the case
on both sides. Approaching the issues.
Judge Dillon said. In main, the ques-
tlOns that arose were:
First-As to the existence Of a conspi-
racy.
Second-As to the connection of the
defendant with it.
The first question required but little
attention, as the arguments OF the
counsel on both sides seemed to accept
the existence OF the conspiracy as
proven. The second question, the con-
nection Of the defendant with the con
spiracy, was then taken up.
The jury were cautioned at somo
length to be on their guard against tho
influence Of popular clamor. They were
also reminded that the Government
owed a duty to Its citizens as we'll as it's
revenue, and 1t lay in. the province Of
the Jury to acquit as well as convict.
Tfe court came back at 3:15 b. M.
and fifteen minutes later the jury came
In, and in response to the customary
questions from the Judge, the verdict Of
the jury IN writing was handed to the
clerk, who read, I'VE, the jury, find the
defendant not guilty"
AS it was not expected the jury would
come In soon there were but few people
In the courtroom, with the exception of
the counsel and defendant, his friends,
and representatives OF the press.
Directly the verdict was announced.
Gen. Babcock was surrounded by his
friends, who could not conceal their
emotion as they congratulated him upon
the happy result OF the trial.
Gen. Babcock shook the hand OF each
Juror In turn as they passed, and he was
borne in triumph by his counsel and
friends from the courtroom after u
formal discharge by Judge Dillon.
When Babcock and party appeared ON
tne courthouse steps, he was greeted
with cheers from the waiting crowd,
which were taken up and followed him
as he walked up Olive street On his way
TO the Lindell Hotel.
CHICAGO, Feb. N.-So far as can be as
the news OF the acquittal OF
Gen. Bahcock has been received here
with great satisfaction. Many of his
political opponents even say that con-
viction on the evidence produced would
have been an outrage. Republicans
are unreRerYedlY illbilant.

mittee. i*i9
Mr.. Hitchcock, from the Committee

amending the act providing for the adj
mission Of Colorado into the Union, and
asked for its present consideration. He
explained that the original bill only
allowed those who were voters at the
time OF it's passage to vote on the State
constitution. This act was to permit all
those to vote on the constitution who.
at the time of it's Submissions to the peo-
pie, should be voters under the laws OF
the Territory. a@
Mr.. Morrill,, of Maine, objected to
the present consideration OF the bill be-
cause 1t also contained an appropriation,
concerning which he desired TO look
into. The bill then went over.

relief OF the Central Texas and III Paso
Railroad, etc. Referred

ing the act granting pensions to certain
soldiers and sailors OF the war oi 1872

rolls those whose names were stricken
thcrefrom on account Of disloyalty that
only four hundred and sizty-four were

Cotton Thieves Board q Vessel and Mar.
sH5 der One ~f the Grew.

About quarter to s clock this morn
ing, most brutal tragedy was enacted
on board the American ship India, com
manded by Capt. Patton, lying at Post
81, First District, by sailor, named
Sidney Tarbox, being shot and instantly
killed by u gang OF cotton thieves.
1t appears that the vessel was boarded
bv gang OF cotton thieves, who had re-
moved the tarpaulin from Oh the main
hatch and were busy robbing the ship,
when their noise aroused Sidney Tar
box, who was sleeping on deck near the
main hatch on the starboard side Of the
ship. and who. on hearing the noise, i'm
mediately gave an alarm. The
thieves believing in the old axiom
''that dead man tells no tales, -
drew their revolvers and sent bullet
through the heart Of Sidney Tarbox,
killing him instantly. The thieves then
fled leaving their plunder behind them.
The shot reused the inmates OF the ship
who made diligent search for the. muir
derers, but they were nowhere to be
and showed signs that the thieves had
some time before being discovered,
as q number OF double bags filled with
cotton were found between decks, and
about twenty bags that were also filled
with cotton, on the wharf. It is supposed
that they were throwing the cotton over
the side OF the ship when Tarbox was
awakened and attempted to give
the alarm. There was also a bun
die of empty sacks and n pair
OF shears for cutting. cotton bands
left by the thieves between decks. A
coat and cap were found by the officers
OF the vessel, which belonged to one OF
the thieves, and were turned over to the
police, as they may give some clue to the
perpetrators Of this horrible deed. The
murdered man Is about twenty-five
years of age, and native OF Maine. He
leaves an aged motherto mourn his
unfortunate fate. isl iD@4 sih ~
