Sad Drowning Case.--Yesterday morning police officers Miskelly and Davis were notified by the captain of a (illegible) lying at the foot of Calvert street that there was a man overboard. The captain had heard a splash, but could not ascertain who it was that had fallen. After a few minutes' search the body of a man was found, which upon examination proved to be that of Frank H. Rollins, aged thirty-seven years and unmarried, a well known business man, and a son of Captain Wm. Rollins. The body was taken to the residence of the family, and Dr. Walker, coroner, being notified did not think an inquest necessary. Mr. Rollins occupied the position of chief clerk for Messrs. Tittens, Beckman & Co., Danish and Norwegian consuls, and was well known in commercial circles. His sad death is regretted by many friends who held him in high esteem.
