erS of the Naples.
The suit Of A. Minis Sons against Nelson
& Dcnken, overs of the British steamship
Naples. was in progress in the United States
circuit court last night at the hours of
adjournment. The case consumed all of
yesterdays session, and a night sitting was
given 70 facilitate the progress of the
suit.
The suit ia for IS, 573 45 for custody COM
mission aud charges. 1t is the old fight of
ship owners resisting the claims Of brokers
for "a cents commission on the value
Of cargo, after fire. and charges.
The ship brokers claim that
the charges are fixed by custom, and the
ship owners are not willing to be bound by
a custom that permits what they deem ex-
cessive charges, as for instance if only
dozen bales Of cotton are damaged in one of
the compartments Of ships hold, a 215 per
cent. commission is charged on the full
value of the entire cargo in that compart-
ment, besides other charges for removing
and restoring cargo.
The case is being closely contested by A.
Minis, Jr., Esq, and Chisholm, Erwin 81
duBignon for the plaintiffs, and Col, George
A. Mercer for the ship owners.
In the city court, in the case Of Strachan
q Co. against the owners of the steamship
Resolute jury gave verdict for the ship
brokers, but the case is to be taken to the
supreme court. The case now on trial in
the United States court was moved by de-
PENDANTS from the city court. There is also
pending in the United States circuit court
similar case, that of Wilder g. Co. against
the owners of the steamship Thalia. The
ship brokers, on the other hand, are deter
mined to collect custody fees. and the ship
owners are as stubbornly disposed to fight
the present rates charged.

MADE DEATH CERTAIN.
a STRANGE SUICIDE REPORTED
TO CORONER DIXON.

a White Man Drinks Vial Full OF
Something, and Then Leaps Naked
Into the Ogeeches Canal six Miles
from This City-A Couple of Negro
Wood Choppers the Witnesses OF
the Affs.r-A Note Addressed to
Fred the Only Clew to the Sui
cide's Identity-The Coroner to In
vestigate the Case To-Day.
A case of suicide was reported to Coroner
Dixon yesterday afternoon too late for him
10 investigate the particulars.
Two negro wood choppers reported TO the
coroner that yesterday morning, while
they we're at work near the Ogeechee
canal, about six miles from the city, a
white man came from the direction Of the
city, and, stopping at the canal bank
not far from them, wrote two
or three notes, one of which
he gave to a colored man named
Anderson, telling him to give it TO Some
man named.Fred, near the market. whom
the stranger said he wanted TO let know
where bus body could be found. be then
took a vial from his pocket and drinking
the contents took of his clothes and shouted
''good-by, I'm gone.n and jumped into the
canal
SAW THE MAN JUMP.
The negroes did not see him come to the
surface but they saw the body at the bot
tom in about five feet of water. The mans
clothes were floating on the surface with his
hat, which was clipper"
No one knew the man, and the wit
nesses of the suicide were afraid TO take the
body from the water.
Coroner Dixon concluded that il was too
late to go out when he got the information,
but be viii go out this morning He told
the negroes to go back, and if they could
find the body TO secure 1t and tie it up.
An inquiry last night in the neighborhood
of the market did not result in discovering
that any one had been missed, aud a search
for "Fred,n with no other name attached,
vas as fruitless
THE CORONER TO LOOK INTO IT.
If the right Fired" should see this rather
indefinite narration of the suicide of his
friend he will doubtless know who it is, and
Coroner Dixon requests tnat he be at once
communicated with, as any information
received before he leaves the city this
morning may enable him to identify the
body.
The theory is that the suicide took viru-
lent poison, or there would have been some
drowning struggles, and the body would
have come TO the surface. Up to a late
hour last night, no further information had
been received by the coroner.

THINK THEY HAVE THE GRIP.
An Epidemic of Colds Blamed to the
Influenza.


There is a general belief that "la grippe"
in mild form, has made its appearance in
Savannah, and those who have had il, or
imagined so, have had corresponding symp-
toms. Colds In the head, muscular sore
ness, pains in the shoulders, in the knees.
aud at the base of the spinal column
with severe headaches and intermittent
fevers, have been the principal complaints
of those affected, with more OF less per-
SEPARATION at night.
The drug stores realize that 'la grippe"
or something like it, is here, and they have
received ia grippe troches," the New York
formula for the disease. These troches
are composed Of quinine, camphor and
belladonna.
The physicians do not admit that the
ailing have the genuine grip" but they
say that the open winter has caused more
or less colds. There have been no sudden
changes OF weather, yet it has been no I'M
common thing for the past two weeks to
hear people describe what cold they have
had, and ii it isn't the grip it is an epidemic
OF colds OF moro or less severity, according
TO the temperament of the patient.
The mixture of river water with the
artesian may have something TO do with
the general complaints heard on every hand
