WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS MYSTERY.
Belief thnt ID. Albert is Not Drowned, but
SEEKS 20 Bertrand an Insurance Company.


A special dispatch from Buffalo, n. Y,
to the World says: An altogether new light
has been brought 10 bear on the mysteri-
GUS case OF d. Albert, who was reported
drowned at the Maid OF the Mist, landing,
Just above Whirlpool Rapids, last Satur-
day. while bathing, or trying to discover
current In which to swim the Rapids
safely. Careful investigation brings out
facts which make 1t seem very pro-
bable that Albert, instead OF being
drowned, il trying to put up u scheme Tor
the purpose OF deirauding an insurance
company out OF $4,000. A week ago sat
urday he called at the insurance office OF
ID. Mackay, Niagara Falls, and took out an
accident policy in the Travellers Insurance
Company. OF Hartford. for one year, pay
ing the required premium. In the appil-
cation he gave his name as Dan Albert,
aged forty-fiye, residence Plttsfield, n. T.,
claimed to be unmarried, and made the
policy favor Davis Mcintyre, Pittsfield,
NY.
When Albert registered at the Frontier
House he claimed to have just arrived from
Utica, and wore different clothes than
those found on the river bank. His satche,
which was found empty, the porter testi-
fes, was very heavy when he carried IL 10
Albert's room. lie paid weeks board in
advance, taking the money from pocket
book which Is now missing. One OF the
attaches OF the hotel claims that when
Albert went bathing for the last time he
carried a bundle. but was gone only few
moments, returning without it. When
asked for the key to his room on Friday
night, he said he wouldn't need it any long
er. Albert had probably been in commu-
nication with Mcintyre regarding the In
surfing Of his life, and asked him concern
ing the liability OF certain companies. FOR
in . letter now in the hands Of the officers
Mcintyre says the Travellers is a good COM
pany TO insure in. The affair causes great
hubbub at Niagara Falls, and the theory
that Albert il not drowned, but hiding in
order to get the insurance, il very generally
credited

A Historic Battie.Flag.

A New Orleans special OF the 9th says:
At the regular monthly meeting last night
Of the Confederate Veterans Relief Asso-
citation OF the Army OF Tennessee an affect
ing incident occurred. A communication
was received from l.. n. Polk, late ddiu
tant Of the Twelfth Louisiana infantry, OF
Loring's division, Folks corps, and now
chief engineer OF the North Guatemala
railroad at Port Barrios, Guatemala, placing
in the custody OF the Association the flag
OF the regiment, which he had had In his
possession since May, 1865. On the night
before being paroled he had taken the
colors, sewed them around his person
under his clothing, in the presence, OF
three members OF the regiment, which then
were the only ones having knowledge oil
what became OF the flag. The flag was un-
furled and received with shouts from the
veterans, and placed among the treasured

LONDON, July 10.--The Pail Mau Gasette
urges violent agitation to In.imIdafe the
HOUSE OF Lords and compel them to pass
the franchise bill.
At q meeting Of the Liberals ut the For
elgn cfice to-day Mr.. Gladstone said that
In view OF the action OF the House of Lords
on the franchise bill the Cabinet had de-
c'ocd 10 close the session Of Parliament a.
soon az possible and call new session st q
very early date to again pass the bill.
ana submit II TO the House Of Lords. Par
lament, he said, would rexssemble in Oc-
tooer, he thought. The House OF Lords
would not again reject the bill. He pro-
missed that when Parliament met next year
the whole energies Of the Government
would be devoted 10 the passage OF CON-
pIete measure for the redistribution OF par
hamentary seats.
The Right Honorable George Goschen
counselled the Government to use modera-
ton IN dealing with the crisis.
The Right Honorable John Bright an

working for the Bottle.
GGwinnett (Ga.) Herald.l


When the old courthouse was built a
bottle OF whiskey was placed In the south
east corner, and, as the hands employed In
tearing the building down were getting
down toward the foundation, they struck
lively lick, expecting to get taste OF
twelve-year-old whiskey. About night the
bottle was discovered, and band Of Chero-
KEGS would not have cut more antics over
the green-corn dance than the boys did as
they held up the prize. BY the time II
went around it would not iuggle any
more, and the fun was over. 1t was stated
that another bottle was deposited in the
northeast corner. The hands worked faith
fully Saturday ey ening to get another drink,
but dark came on and the bottle had not
been found, so most Of them supposed;
but some of the knowing ones, who had
been most dlllgent in the search, found the
bottle and hastily covered it up, expecting
to return after dark and get long pull at
it. Imagine their chagrin when they quiet
ly uncorked the fiery fluid to find nothing
but an old bottle Of stale water.
