best not TO disturb him and he returned to
his work without going to Griner's room.
From all indications the man died soon
after gong to his room. He was cold and
stiff when discovered. On the table beside
the bed were two bottles, but their contents
were not poisonous. Griner remarked to
one of the boarders as he went up stairs
that he had been drinking, and now he was
going to do something else, but if he killed
himself it was by some means not yet
known. He has been afflicted with a com
plication Of diseases, and Of late has been
drinking heavily. He lost bis position with
beWestern Union Telegraph Company here

condition for work and he had been drink
ing ever since. He exhibited a letter from

erators in the office, saying that she would
be in Savannah yesterday, and Griner told

orator, and did very satisfactory work un-
til his drunken spells became 50 frequent

mains and will hold an inquest this morn
ing. The operators endeavored to find out
something about Griner's family last night
but they were unable to gain amp knowl-
edge of them in Philadelphia. Griner was
about 35 years Of age and was a man Of
pleasi address. He was popular among
the Western Union men until within the
last week or two, when he began to throw
himself away. Nothing was found in his
pockets but two letters from his wife.
What other effects he had are in his room
aud will be preserved until his wife calls
