two cases each. Two cases under care

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The storm Of

eastern Virginia, sweeping with terrific
fury upon the capital of the nation,

THR LAUNCH OF THE ETHEL.
The New Steamer Christened by Miss
Camp OF Philadelphia.

The New Steamer Christened by Miss
Camp OF Philadelphia.
The launch of the hull of the new steamer
built across the river at Kinsey's mills, for
Capt. W. T. Gibson, took place at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. 1t was a beautiful
launch, the heavy hull gliding off the
stocks and sliding into the water as soon as
the keyblock was knocked out, without a
single hitch or jar TO stop her progress.
The following ladies and gentlemen were
on the deck Of the boat as she slid into the
water: Rev. and Mrs. T. II. BIenus, Can't
and Mrs Thomas M. Fleetwood, Mr.. and
Mrs. W. B. Daniel, Miss Witsel, Miss May
Camp of Philadelphia, Mr.. and Mrs W. I.
Gibson, George T. Nichols. s. NJ ]. Baker
and Others Miss May Camp performed the
ceremony Of christening the boat by break
ing the usual bottle OF champagne over the
bow and naming her the Ethel, after Capt.
Gibson's daughter.
The party then lunched on board the
craft.
The hull was secured after the launch and
moored to the dock, where it will remain
until the latter part of this week, when it
will be towed over to this side to receive the
machinery, which arrived yesterday.
The new craft is l46 feet in length over
all and 81 feet in breadth Of beam over all;
she Is feet deep forward, 6k aft.
It is expected that she will
be in condition to make
her trial trip on the river about May 10.
She is expected to attain speed OF twelve
miles per hour against the tide, and she
will be expected to cover the route between
Savannah and Stoney Bluff twice a week,
which is forty miles farther up the river
than Cohen's Bluff, the old route which the
former steamer covered. This change has
been necessitared by the South Bound rail
road, which 1t is believed will absorb some
| of the river business.
Capt Gibson was congratulated on al
sides for the boats successful launch, anC
he had the best wishes of his guests for hel
success. Miss Camp also came in for hel
share OF compliments for the graceful man
ner in which she performed the christening
| ceremony.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
TIE BODY FOUND FLOATING IN
TaE RIVER IDENTIFIED.

Thomas Fleming Of Fishkill, N. 2,
Missed from His Boarding Eouse
Since April 2-The Body in the River
Identified as Fleming's-The Drowned
Man on His Way to His Home In the
North When He Met his Death-A
Suspicion OF Murder.
The identity Of the body found floating
in the river Friday afternoon, the circum-
stances of which we're reported in yester-
days MORNING NEWS, was established yes
terday by James w. Hennessy. The
drowned man was Thomas Fleming Of Fish
kill. N. Y. He has been missing since
Thursday, April 2.
Fleming had been working on the Satilla
river during the fall and winter, and ar
rived in Savannah April l with several
companions on his way north. He stopped
a day with Mr.. Hennessy, and gave him al
his money, except IS, to keep until be wa
ready to leave for New York Fleming
went out the next night. and that was the
last seen Of him alive.
Last Monday Mr.. Hennessy reported the
mans disappearance at police headquarters,
but no trace OF him could be found. When
he heard of the finding Of the body in the
river Mr.. Hennessy went to the morgus and
identified the remains as those Of his friend.
He had Coroner Dixon prepare the body for
burial in q neat coffin, and 1t was inferred
in the Cathedral cemetery.
Mr.. Hennessy is inclined tp the belief that
Fleming was foully dealt with, although no
marks Of violence were visible on the body.
He was not drinking man, and had a
genial nature, which precludes the idea of
suicide. Mr.. Hennessy thinks that he
wandered down to the river front in his
walk, and was thrown overheard in a
struggle with parties who might have
thought he had money about his person on
account of the neat manner in which he was
dressed. Mr.. HenneSsy will forward the
dead mans money to his people.

CANNOT GROSS THE TRACKS.
The Electric Railway Blocked at
Gwinnett Street.

The Electric Railway Blocked at
Gwinnett Street.
Judge Falligant rendered a decision yes
tsrday in the injunction suit Of the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway against
the Electrical Railway Company of Savan-
nah to prevent the latter from crossing
Gwinnett street over the tracks. He
granted the injunction asked for by the rail-
way company.
The Electrical Railway Company, unless
it secures the right to cross by other pro-
ceedings, will have to find some other way
OF making the belt, or it will have to bridge
the Savannah, Florida and Western tracks
or tunnel under, either Of which will be a
costly work. The street railway track has
been laid out Prince street to Gwinnett and
through Gwinnett to the Savannah, Florida
and Western, where the work stopped,
pending the injunction.
There has been some talk Of changing
the line of the street railway, and either
crossing the Savannah. Florida and West
ern further south, or running through
Wheaton street to its proposed eastern ter
minus, and then back across the Savannah,
Florida and Western to Henry street.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
claims the Gwinnett street crossing as pri-
vate property, and that the crossing Of its
UFhCkS ny Tue SJreeI railway WOulu not only
interfere with the movement of trains in its
| yard, which extends some distance farther
south, but it would also interfere with its
system Of switches, which is operated from
the tower at Bolton street.
The street railway has given notice that
it will apply to the city council for the
privileges Of the following streets:
l. Commencing at the intersection Of
South Broad and Price, running east on
South Broad to McAllister; south on Nc
Allister to Perry, west on Perry to Price.
2. Commencing at the intersection of
Gwinnett and Price, running south on
Price to Duffy. west on Duffy to West
Broad, north on West Broad to South
Broad, east on South Broad to Montgom-
cry.
8. Commencing at the intersection Of
West Broad and South Broad, running
north on West Broad to Margaret west on
Margaret to Farm, north on Farm to
Indian, west on Indian to Water, north on
| Water to River street.
| 1t is understood that the street railway
will push It's claim to the right to cross the
Savannah, Florida and Western at Gwin-
nett street, and that further legal steps will
| be taken.
