IN tow the American schooner Charles
Levi Woodbury. The Woodbury. was
partially laden with stores for the ma
TIne garrison then stationed at the is
land, and in consideration for trans
porting these it was agreed by the
commanding officer of the Iroquois,
who was temporarily in command OF
the naval station at Honolulu. that
lis boat would tow the schooner 10
its destination.
On the night after leaving this port
a heavy sea began 10 run and after
a time the towiine parted. In the at
tempt to get new towline to the
chooner-against the warning OF the
schooner's captain-the boats collided
with considerable damage to the

no legal redress of any kind against
the owners of the schooner Woodbury.,

 With Cheers
(sy Review Leased Wire,

CHICAGO, May 4.-The jurors in the William Lorimer trial brought in verdict of not guilty this morning.
 The verdict was the same on both charges, the court having instructed the jury that a separate verdict on each charge would have to be re- turned.
 As the clerk read the verdict a shout went up in the court room and there was a rush of spectators to shake the hand of Lorimer as he stood smiling in front of the judges bench.
 After he had subsided Lorimer ad- ,dressed the jury in trembling voice. After thanking the jurors he said:
 'I want to say that in giving me liberty the people who deposited money on the La Sale Street Bank. beginning with tLcse who can least ef- ford to lose, will have all of my saw ings. all the money can earn with the exception of that necessary to support my family until this oblisa- tion has been discharged and until every dollar has been paid back"
