No Doubt That He Killed His Man, But
the Jury Acquits Him


LUNENBUaG, Va, Aug. A.-Capt Phillip
McKiDpy made the closing argument for the
defense in the Garland murder trial. In the
course of the address he said there was no evil
dence that Addison was engaged to Miss
Hatchett, and added il he was, what heart
less creature she must be to stink away from
the state to North Carolina when the man
who shot her lover was Tn trial. She did not
appear in court to testify against him. Judge
Hinton followed for the prosecution.
Upon reassembling the court the Judge con-
cluded his argument, and about 5 O'Clock the
case was given to the jury who retired to their
rooms. After an absence of fifteen minutes
they returned with verdict of ''not guilty.
As soon as the verdict was announced The
crowd left the court room cheering, while the
prisoner was warmly congratulated by friends.
During the absence of the jury the prisoner
amused himself whiting a stick, with his
father occupying a seat near to him.
In the eases of the commonwealth Vs.. W.
W. Boswell and John A. Roach, charaed az
accessories to the murder of Addison, the
commonwealth attorney entered a nolle
prosequi, and the accused were dischar ged.
The father Of the prisoner says the Only
thing he blames his son for, is because he did
not go to Addison with o shot gun loaded
with buckshot and damand a retraction for
his insulting language, and il not retracted,
or him (prisoncr) to have shot the deceased.

! CHICAGO, Aug. "a The disturbance in the
Chicago & Omaha pool, caused by increased
shipments of live stock from Omaha by the
Milwaukee & st. Paul road, will be made the
subject of discussion and action tomorrow by
the managers Of the four pool lines and the
St. Paul road. The rumor that the st. Paul
road had an arrangement with the Union Pa
cific for all it's stock is denied. The st Paul
road has secured three men from the Union
Pacific road who practically control the cattle
business In Nevada and Wyoming and this,
added to the dislike Of stockmen to pool ar
rapgsments itself accounts for the diversion
of traffic to the latter road. Shippers strenu-
ously oppose the pool plan even In the Union

plan will he abrogated at TO morrow 8 meeting.

ANOTHER AMENDMENT.
Mr.. Lineau moved to amend the resolution
by striking out the clause relative to prohibi-
ton. He stated in explanation that the Re-
publicans had taken no position relative to
this petition which had also been submitted to
them at their convention held in st. Paul, and
he feared that unless the Democrats of the
present convention either ignored the petition
or passed positive resolutions denying their
right to petition the body, the people whom
he represented would vote for Washburn.
Mr. Barrett did not wish to see the clause

this question was, however. Lott open for
the present subject IT, such contingencies
as may arise.
The subject of tariff aud internal rove

toned. The chairman of the caucus was,
however, directed TO appoint committee

committee Of Democratic representatives
in regard to the policy to be adopted by
