Light on the Albany Story.

Atlanta, Ga, May 5-An Albanian who
is here today says that he thinks the
scandal which was started over Miss Cora
Van Tassell, the pretty little soubrette,
was not founded on anything more than
malicious gossip started by some of
the boys of the town whom
she had refused to receive.
She stated last night when she passed
through here that She carried a pistol in
her grip and that she had been compelled
10 rOint it at Tom MaNO's head to make
him leave her room, which he had entered
unlimited. Tho actress was greatly dis
tresSed at the reports which had been
telegraphed away. She has good connec-
tons in the north and there has never

He is Accused of Assaulting the
Wife of Prisoner.
Chattanooga, Tenn, May "a special
from Carrollton to the Times says: u.
H. Lipscomb high sheriff of Heard
county, Georgia, is under arrest charged
with an assault on the wife of one of his
prisoners, Bob Whetmore, a white
man living near Franklin,
town of Heard county. Whetmore
and his wife have not been
getting along very well together, it is
said, and the wife had her husband ar
rested for beating her. Sheriff Lipscomb
made the arrest and put Whetmore in
jail. Rumor has it that the sheriff COM
menced visiting the home of Whetmore
while the latter was in jail. He
at different times carried the wife
flour and provisions and gave the woman
some whisky. The latter claims that
the sheriff made an improper proposal to
her and an attempt was made to force her
to submit, and it is said the assault was
completed. The woman swore out a
warrant for the sheriff and he is in the
custody of the coroner of the county
LipsComb attempted to leave but
was caught. His bondsmen have come
off his severalty bond. Lipscomb has
has been sheriff of Heard county for ten
years. He is 50 years old and has large
family. The people are very much excited
over the affair. Lipscomb's friends claim
that it is a case of blackmail and that the
woman swOre out the warrant in order to
eXtOrt money from the sheriff"
