bic Chnrge of Piracy.

JACKSONVILLE. FLA. January "a
new libel was filed against the steamer
Three Friends to-day in the United
States Court by District-Attorney Franz
Clark. In this libel the steamer is not
charged with violating any particular sec
ton Of the Revised Statutes. and II IS
possible that this omission was for the

piracy. In the libel il is alleged that the

1886. with a large amount OF stores, rifles
