Krauss finally, late in the afternoon,
directed a verdict against the tele
graph company on tie plea of abate-
ment, and to the jurisdiction of the
court. This places the case on trial
on its merits. The telegraph COM
pany took the position before the
court yesterday that it had moved the
suit for $4,000 filed, against the COM
pany by Cooper some time ago, TO the
United States court that that court
had jurisdiction and the city court
could not try the case. 1t developed
however, that Judge Speer, of the
United, States court. has already held
that the United States court is not
concerned in the city court case now
on trial and refused to stop. the
proceedings here in city court recent
ly when the Western Union asked for
an Injunction to restrain the suit.
Judge Krauss held that the two suits
were not the same, that the first suit
Was for damages on account of an al
legged larceny after trust. while the
suit now ON trial grew out of an al.
legged forgery.
The case will now go to trial on its
merits and promises TO consume an
other day or more in the hearing of
evidence and arguments of the attor-
neys." Judge Max Isaac is represent

FAR OUT ON THE OCEAN

Capt Cremonini, oft he Spanish
steamship Soperga, which arrived
here yesterday after having been
hauled off a reef on the southern
coast of Florida, had unique expert
ence on the voyage to Jacksonville,
when he was called upon to act as
coroner at an inquest over the body
of negro found in the hold of his
ship. The body was discovered aft
er the Soperga was floated, and fol-
lowing an investigation, the remains
of the man werec unsigned to the
deep.
From the appearance Of the corpse
it was believed that the man stumbled
and fell into the hold Of the ship, re-
ceiving fracture Of the skull and
other injuries which caused his death.
The body could not be identified, but
there is no. doubt that the man was
one of a number taken from Miami to

struck the reef.
The Soperga is here to be surveyed
for the benefit of the underwriters
