Man in the st. Johns.

Jacksonville. Fla, Jan. 1.-THE body of
James Lumbert, a fruit commission mer-
chant of Philadelphia, was found float
ing in the ST. Johns river at o'clock
this morning. He had been missing from
his boarding house on Main street for
about two weeks and as he was in a
somewhat respondent mood when last
seen alive, fears of suicide were felt
by his friends here
On the body were found S71 in money
seeral old coins, a finger ring. meer-
schaum pipe, match box and round
trip ticket to Philadelphia In his hip
pocket was a small gill flask of liquor
which had not been touched. His fea-
lures were intact and were easily recog-
nlzed.
Knowing the facts of the mans disap-
pearance, Coroner Smith deemed an in
quest unnecessary and ordered the body
held until his relatives in Philadelphia,
who are said to be wealthy. can be heard
from.

years old The general opinion is that
Lumbert committed suicide, although no
reason can be given for the deed.
