STEAMER KAREN
 HAS BEEN SAVED
Sunken Steamboat Will Return to Memphis-Steamer Allen of Little Rock Went to Disabled Boats Re. lief.

The steamer J. N. Harbin, which struck snag at Coco Landing, sixty miles south of this city, and sank in the Arkansas river Thursday morn ing, was raised yesterday and will re- turn to Memphis, instead of making the trip to Pine Bluff. The steamer A. D. Allen passed down the river yesterday on it's way to Coco, where it went to render aid to the disabled boat. Upon it's arrival there the crew learn ed that the Harbin had been raised and was being repaired for the return trip.
 The freight for Pine Bluff mer- chants was taken from the steamer and will be brought back to this city by the Allen, after other freight for lower landings is delivered.
 It was learned yesterday that the Harbin sank in about four feet of water A large hole was left in her hull when it ran upon the snag and the quick action of the pilot, who ran the steamer towards the shore, pre- vented what might have been loss of several lives. Her decks remained above water and the steamer will be fioated all right, after the water is pumped from her hold.
 Local Manager c. E. Philpot went to Little Rock yesterday and made ar engagements for the Aliens trip to Coco for the purpose of rendering the Harbin some assistance Divers were used effectively in raising the boat.
