3. st. j. Fripp Drowned at Gordon's
Wharf

e. st. ]. Fripp Drowned at Gordon's
Wharf
John Cavanagh, Waterman at Gordon's
wharf, saw a white man, evidently much
the worse from liquor, approaching the
wharf about o'clock yesterday morning,
Upon being stopped by the watchman and
asked where he was going. be muttered that
be was going on board his ship. Cavanagh
tried to persuade him to go off the wharf,
but without success, and the man walked
on toward the end of the wharf. Reaching
the side fronting on Jones' creek, he seemed
to stumble over something in turning and
fell in the water. Cavanagh hurried to
the place and jumped overheard TO rescue
him. He caught hold OF the man as he
came up the second time, but he struck his
hands loose in his struggle and sank again.
When he rose TO the surface for the third
time Cavenagh grabbed the drowning
man and succeeded in swimming with him
to the side of the wharf, where he called
for assistance. Help came too late, hows
ever, and when the Waterman and his bur-
den were taken from the water it was
found that life was extinct.
The body was identified as that of f. St.
]. Fripp,a street broker, residing at No. 215
Anderson street. Fripp had been on pro-
tracted spree for sometime past. He was
a married man, and belonged to the Knights
of the Golden Eagle
Coroner Dixon viewed the remains In the
afternoon, but decided that an inquest was
unnecessary, as the drowning was evidently
accidental. The body has been taken in
charge by the Golden Eagle, and will be
inferred in Bonaventure cemetery to-mor-
row morning

HERE GOES FOR LUCK.
A DESPERATE WOMAN'S WORDS
AS SHE TOOK ROUGH ON RATS.

Gertrude Hill, Alias Georgia Bristol,
Suicides Because of a Difference
With Her Lover-Vics, Drink, Des-
peration and Poison the SAD Chap
tiers of Young Womsn's Life.
Gertie Hill, alias Georgia Bristol, the
keeper of house. Of ll>fame on Hull street,
between Price and Houston streets, commit
ted suicide by swallowing the greater per-
ton Of a box of Rough on Rats" late Sat-
urday night, and died yesterday morning.
The woman had been drinking for several
days, and was in a respondent state of
mind caused by trouble with her lover. She
was standing on the stoop of her house
with companion. She had a box Of
Rough on Rats" in her hand, and
without any other intimation of her inten-
tion she suddenly raised tho box to her
mouth, and with the words Here goes for
luck" swallowed its contents.
THE FATAL ACT.
Her companion ran for a doctor, followed
by the unfortunate woman, shrieking with
pain and fear and calling upon the other
woman not to leave her. A number OF
people were attracted by the womanis cries
and she was carried back into her house. DIR.
Nichols was summoned and he admins
tered emetics aud did what he could for the
woman and left, thinking that she was out
OF danger. She died, however, yesterday
morning.
Coroner Dixon was notified and investi l.
gated it. Proof of the woman's suicidal ins
tent was plain, and he did not consider an
inquest necessary. He issued O burial per-
NIT and the body was inferred in Laurel
Grove cemetery in the afternoon.
A WRECKED LIFE.
The deceased was 81 years old, and had
been in Savannah about eighteen months.
She came here from Brunswick, her former
home. A woman who appeared to know
her intimately said that her real name was
Georgia Vonzola, and that she came to
Brunswick from Hartford, Conn, when
quite child. Both her parents
being dead she was adopted by a
DR.. Vonzola and his wife, who
lived in Brunswick or Fernandina.
She is said TO have relatives in those cities
now and to have owned some property.
As is usually the case. her desperation
was caused by difference with her lover,
whom, it was said, she had dismissed at the
command of a rival, but aftsrward begged
to return to her. He refused and she TOOK
to drink, and, in fit of drunken desponden-
cy, committed the act which caused her
death
The woman's death furnished quite SEN
setion to the residents of the quarter in
which she lived.

bridge or tunnel would be built, but
neither side appears to be making any ad-
