recently acquitted Of the implication of
blame for the Golden City disaster, left for
Cincinnati last night, carrying with him the

any cleverer or more conscientious than Ster-

On the trip up from Vicksburg the Provi-
dence was the scene of an incident that
sometimes, but rarely occurs. Russian
lady emigrant, named Burovick, gave birth
to twins-one girl and one boy-the first
dying soon after birth, and was buried at
the quarantine station at the lower end o!
Presidents Island. Every attention that
could be bestowed was given the lady by the
officers and passengers. The boy was i'm
mediately christened George Lennox and
the girl was called Providence, in honor of
the commander and the boat on which they
first saw the light. The mother and surviv-
ing child are doing well.

1920 n. Sixteenth street, where AIbrecht's
family resided, last night, that he leaves a
young vile and two children. He came
from Saxony about year ago, and was not
over thlrty-four years OF age, while his wild
owed wife is in the neig hborhood of twenty
eight. Shortly after his arrival he did con-
siderable carpenter-work in st. Louis, and
worked for some time on the new Christian
Brothers college before accepting the late
position he held in the river improvement
work."
Captain Tom P. Leathers, of the steamer
Natchez in speech before the State Press
Association of Mississippi, at Vicksburg, last
Tuesday, said "For forty odd years he had
stood at the helm on this great and incom-
prehensible river, watched its current and
studied the laws and freaks of its action
He was there yet, and would be until his al
lotted years were filled and he was finally
called away as all his contemporaries, except
one, had been. The people all along the
river were his friends-his people-and he
had no interest apart from theirs. During
the forty-six years of his experience in river
life no accident had ever happened TO any
boat he commanded, nor had a drop OF
human blood been spilled upon any deck OF
his. No officer of his had ever insulted or
misused passenger"
