SUICIDE AT SEA.
A Coal Paszer on Ghe DessOug Hangs
Himself.

Yesterday morning the steamship Des-
soug arrived from New York and moored at
the Central Railroad wharf, and message
was az once sent TO Coroner Sheftall that
his services were required. On investiga-
ton he sscertained that a white man named
Bernard Lynch, coal pssser on the steam
shin. had committed suicide by hanging.
The Coroner at once directed the remains
to be removed to the Morgue, and an in
quest was there held.
= Capt. Fred Smith, commander Of the ship,
stated that Lynch had shipped in New York
on the 18th inst. as a coal passer, and ne
knew nothing about him.
John w. Sharon, first officer OF the steam
err. stated that after leaving New York he
noticed that Lynch had acted strangely, but
he had no idea that he contemplated
suicide Witness was speaking to
Lynch not more than twenty minutes
before he was discovered suspended be
tween decks. 1t appears he tied a strong
piece of wine around his neck with loop
knot, and, fastening the other end securely,
sprang into the hold. The fall tightening the
Irvine aroud his neck he slowly straDgled to
death. When the body was discovered and
removed, life was extinct.
The Jury upon this evidence rendered a
verdict that "the deceased, Bernard Lynch,
bad coue to his death by committing
suicide by hanging himself on the ID day
of November. on board the steamship Des-
soug from New York to Savannah"
The suicide was committed on the morn
ing of the 18Th when the steamer was about
two hundred and sixty miles from Savan-
nah. The suppositiOn is that the man was
suffering from temporary insanity.

Mr.. John NJ. Guerard called at our sane
tum Yesterday and left with US an old book
which would doubtless recall many inter
esting "reminiscences to the older citizens Of
Savannah. It is entitled "Census Of the
city of Savannah, together with statistics
relating 10 the trade, commerce, mechanical
arts and health OF the same, with historical
notices, and a list of the incor
porated companies and charitable
societies; to which is added
commercial directory Of the principal
mercantile houses, manufacturers, mechan-
lea, professions, together with particulars
respecting the railroads, steamers, packets,
etc, connected with the city" 1t was
originally prepared under resolution OF the
CIV Council nv Joseph Bancroft, and was
printed in 1S4S by Edward j. Purse, lO2
Bryan street.
As the title OF this little book indicates It
is full OF information concerning the city at
the time of it's publication. 1t gives the
population Of Savannah as taken from the
census of 1910, and shows that IN those
daVs-Over three decades since-our city
was inhabited by 11,2l4 souls, of which
5Ss8 were whites, 1896 were slaves,
and 632 were free negroes. 1t also gives the
population as shown by the city census OF
1913 as fOllows: 72S white males, 3 521
white females, 2.3l6 colored males (slaves),
1870 colored females (ssves), 241 cOlOred
males (fres) and 1876 colored females (free)
Total Is 573. It also gives the names of the
civ officials, and contains particulars OF the
different wards, etc. the occupations OF the
population, and general description OF the
city, its fire department, banks, and all lis
public insti 'utiOns
Among the many matters detailed by the
little book is an account Of the commerce
Of Savannah and OF the various steamship
lines running between there and the North
ern ports. Prob IDLY, however, nothing In
It is more entertaining than the old adver-
tisements with which the last thirtY-four
pages is filed. 1t is, in a word, work ex-
ceedingly interesting, not only to the oldest,
but also to the most recent inhabitsnt, as 1t
shows at glance the great progress made
by our port in the past thirty years.

We discard the bombsstic style Of an
nouncement SO common, and seek TO i'm
press people with plain, unvarnished facts,
as all our business purposes are based upon
strict regard for truth and honesty. There
is generally too much concealment about
merchandise, and, sad to say, great deal
of swindllng is done under the guise OF bust
ness. We make it a rule not to advertise
anything we do not 20, or anything we can
not exhibit. We have now in store large
and complete stock OF clothing for men and
boys, manufactured by us Of the best ma
terta1-clothing in every way as good as
custom made. A splendid line Of mems
and boys overcosts. Our prices are posi-
lively lower than you can buy elsewhere.
All we ask of clothing buyers is to come
and look at our goods before purchasing,

as to the quality OF our clothing and our
low prices Famous New York Clothing

An immense audience gathered at the
Theatre last night to witness the rendition
Of Herne's "Hearts Of Oak"-a play very
familiar to our play-goers. The pathetic
plot Of this production and its sensational
scenery always render it attractive to an
audience. without any regard to the acting.
Consequently, while none of the parts, with
perhaps the exception OF that of "Owen
Garroway," by Mr. z Chippendale. were rem
dered with any special artistic excellence,
the audience seemed very well pleased and
entertained.
The acting Of little Maud Thompson as
"Iittle Chrystal" is worthy OF special men
ton. She has been well trained, and pre-
seuted The character Of the little srtless
child in liielike manner, eliciting hearty
spplausa She made the audience quite
forget their disappointment st the non
appearance Of "the Baby" which had been
advertised as the feature OF the piece.
As stated, the scenery and plot OF the
play will always make It interesting and
attractive, and we have no doubt that when
ever It is reproduced on our boards 1t will
always command full house.
