PrTTsBuao, Jan. 2-At 10 O'Clock
| this morning the jury in the Matt trial
| returned a verdict OF not gnilty on ac-
| count of insanity.
As early as O'slock . entrance 70
the Courthouse was besieged by a crowd
far exceeding in number the att -ndanoe
| on any day since the trial began.
Promptly at $40 court opened and the
prisoner was escorted to seat. His
countsnance b,re look Of the most
profound Hnxie nov changing to one
of confidence as words Of encourage
ment were whispered in his ear, and
again putting Cn an air of despOndoSoy
~ the thsuRht that the jury might per-
haps find him guilty fitted across his
mind; the muscles of his face tWitched
nervOasly, and the other movements of
his body indicated a mind ill at ease.
TO his counsel he stated that he slept
only two hours last night. The curi-
Osity of the audience ~ss intense. and
at the least rustic or commOtion at the
door there would be q turning OF heads
and stretching Of neoks. The jury filed
IN at 9:5l', and as they seated Themselves
the silence was oppressive. After the
usual questions Mutt was ordered to
stand MP, but was 30 weak that he had
TO be assisted to his feet. The foreman
then announced the verdict, and the
,rowd, which was with difficulty re-
strained during the announcement, gave
vent to its approval in loud cheer
which the immense crowd Outside took
up. This was answered back, and an
0tner cheer won't up from the outside.
Finally order WAS restored and the
prisoner was re,nanded to Jail until to-
morrow, when he will be examined by a
commission as to his present mental
condition. Mrs. Mutt and Lizzie were
not present. They remained at the re-
sidence Of Major Brown, where the glad
tidinRs we're quickly conveyed to them.
ConRratulatory dispatches are pouring
in on them from all points.

City of Columbus did not strike ON
DEVILS ledge at all, but ON the mussel
bed mentioned yesterday, situated 800
feet outside the bar. Fhey say further
that there is but fifteen feet Of water

buoy on the steamers port bow at the
time she struck. Quartermaster Mo-
Donald. the man at the wheel when the
catastrophe occurred, has bees reported
As having said that when of NObeka
light Capt. Wright gave him course to
follow, southwest by west, and he held
that course until the vessel struck the
rocks. Capt. Wright admits that he is
correctly quoted 80 far as changing the
course at Nobska is concerned, but also
says that before ,nterin9 his stateroOm
in the piloG house he told the second
mate to change the course to west BY
southwest when the ship should be of
Tarpaulin Cave light, and in his Opiu
ion this was not done. Hence the
wreck.
