WHILE the death of Prince Albert
Victor, heir apparent to the English

royal family and will be learned of with

vexed English statesmen to a consider

Without possessing the political tact or
the popularity of his father, this young

shocking scandals, and has been gener-

she endeavored at one time to secure an
act of parliament by which he would be
placed out Of line, and Prince George be

a long and brilliant career of usefulness

advantage of the situation and rush it

SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT.

A particularly sad drowning accident oc-
CURED on Saturday in the upper Potomac near
what is known as Hanse's rocks. Arthur Brem-
mer, young man just twenty-one years OF age
was In bathing with John Trout, a large and
strong man. Bremmer could not swim. but
with the assistance of his companion, whom he
chung TO, was enabled to go in water Of consid-
cradle depth. Desiring to swim out in the
deepest part of the river Trout told the Young
man to hold on tightly AID started for tine de-
sired spot. In a part of the river where the
water is eighteen feet deep Bremmer suddenly
slipped from his friends shoulders and went
down. With the desperation of a drowning man
he grabbed at the first thing encountered, which
proved to be the foot of his companion, and
with struggle, the second went under. For
what seemed an age the two men struggled
beneath the water when with q mighty effort
the stronger freed himself just as he was about
to lose consciousness. With feeble strength he
regained the surface and struck out for the
shore, reaching it only when exhausted. Then
turning bis face in the direction Of the spot
where Bremmer was last seen Trout saw the up
raised hand and agOnized face of the drowning
man. Though entirely played out Trout once
more struck out for the fatal spot, but all was
over before he reached it.

ORDER OF IRON HALL.
Supreme Vice Chancellor Hosmer Declares
That IL Has q Surplus,

That It Has Surplus.
Mr.. Il. A. Hosmer of 107 South Charles
street. Baltimore, is supreme vice chancellor
OF the Order of tho Iron Hall and is, there
fore. the second officer Of the organization in
the United States. When seen by a Baltimore
Afnericdn representative Saturday he had
heard nothing Of the proceedings at Indian
apolis and was considerably astorished. IT
cannot say, however, that this move is entirely
unexpected" he said, '.for when the other
mutual orders began to get into trouble some
time ago said then that some crank would
open fire on us. But we are well able to stand
it. Instead Of being insolvent we have large
surplus IN the treasury and are paving off
claims every day. We have paid several claims
today and expect to do SO very promptly as
they mature. One Of the indianapolis plain
uffs Is @ discharged employe Of the order, and
you can readily guess the animus actusting
him. We have nothing to fear from an appli-
cation FOR receiver for We can very readily show
that the order is not only in a prosperous and
healthy condition, but, as 1 said, is promptly
paying off all claims and viii continue to do so
because it is in position to meet all its liabiIi-
ties. Mr.. Somerby believe to be as straight
as any man In the order. They cannot prove
that he has Incorporated a cent, for he has
not done so. There is nothing at all alarming
In these proceedings"
Uspatcn rom BlnghamtOn, n. Y, says:
Judge Taylor S. Arms, a prominent men,
Der of the Iron Hail. which has several thousand
members in this city, was interviewed this
morning regarding the indianapolis dispatch
which casts reflections upon the order. He de-
nounced the affair as a base libel and traces the
origin of the trouble to Superintendent Of In
surance Merrill Of Massachusetts, who has
fought the Iron Hall for years. and the line OF
argument and estimates made in the dispatches
are identical with those advanced by Merrill
before the senate committee at Albany last
winter.
''Ihe order has $4,000, 900 in reserve, and is
paying its matured certificates before the ex-
piration of the ninety days limit.
1.-The Indianapolis scheme is similar to those
practiced in the east by enemies of the order.
Any dishonest member can secure an injunction
upon contested sick claim and demand re-
ceiver by alleging the insolvency Of the order.
At one time spectators in Massachusetts made
practice Of securing injunctions against assess
ment orders to excite distrust. Maturing certii-
Gates were purchased at discount from
frightened owners, and the spectators thus
realized large sums of money when the certif-
Gates became due.
Judge Arms stated that the order could not
become indebted for $1,000. 900 upon the re-
mainder of the certificates maturing in 1892"
