THE FUTURE OF
FLINT RIVER
Will Be Considered in Granting Roads
Privileges in Front Street.
One of the considerations which
the City Council will have In mtaf In
granting any' franchise to a railroad
company for a line through Front
street will be the protection of the ap
proaches to the river on Broa^ and
Commerce streets, If on no others.
The .time Is ’coming—it may be a
matter of but a short time, or It may
be one of years—when Flint river will
give to Albany much lower freight
rates than she now enjoys. These
lower rates will come when a regular
line of steamboats begins plying be
tween this city and the Gulf of Mex-.
ico. With the river at her door, Al
bany throws away thousands of dollarB
in freight, rates and loses hundreds
of thousands of ddllars in trade every
year by falling to utilize it as a means
to an end greatly to be desired. With
the city’s Increased size and Impor
tance, It Is Inconceivable that. she
should much longer neglect the oppor
tunity which the river brings to her

CIRCULAR NO. 321.
Storage Rule No. 10.
Storage Rule No. 10 is hereby
amended by striking the third para
graph of said rule and substituting in
lieu thereof the following:
“The basis for any claim filed for a
non-complianceswith this rule shall be,
in cases where the shipper specifies the
routing, the actual route indicated by
the, shipper, and where no routing is
specified by the shipper, then the route
usually used by the railroad' Companies
at interest.”
In passing through Flint street, the
railroads desiring to secure certain
grants from the city will construct a
tunnel and make cuts of considerable
depth. On account of the future of
the river traffic, and its inestimable
benefits to Albany, the city authori
ties will be careful not to have the ap
proaches to the river jeopardized, the
two principal approaches being through
Broad and Commerce streets.
The franchises desired by the A. &
N. and G. *N. roads will probably be
considered by the City Council at its
next regular meeting, which may be
held Monday night.

MANY RIPE
CANTIES HERE.
Honor of Reporting First Ripe Fruit
Goes to Many Growers.
The first cantaloupes have appeared.
As is nearly always the case, a number
of growers have reported ripe melons
on the same day, which is not surpris
ing. In the district around Albany,
cantaloupes are planted by all the
growers at the same time; the man
ner of cultivation Is almost Identical,
and all fields are favored by about the
same conditions of rain and weather.
Therefore, the honor of getting the
first ripe oantles to the market Is apt
to be shared by a number of growers.
There can no longer be any. doubt,
however, ttiat the first shipments wjll
be made from Albany on Monday.
There will be a sufficient number of
matured' melons in many fields to on-
able the growers to get together a
number of orates, and these will be
shipped to various destinations, where
they will command “the top of the
market.”
The cantaloupes this season are un
usually fine. In size they are consid
ered perfect, and their quality should
be In keeping.

Louis Napoleon A’nim-ered.
Lady Blesslugtou did uot always
meet with gratitude from some whose
position at last enabled them to serve
her. She sheltered tu her Loudou home
Louis .Napoleou after he had escaped
from his prison In Ham. After Louis
Napoleou) became president of tbo
Freuch republic be seems to have
turned the' cold shoulder on Lady
Blesslngtou and Count D’Orsay when
they approached him In Purls. There
was a story going at the time, for thB
accuracy of which we certainly will
uot vouch, but which appeared In sev
eral of the Loudou papers. Shortly be
fore Lady Blessington's death she met,
so the story goes, the president driving
la the Champs ElyseeS. He stopped
his carriage, she stopped hers, aud they
conversed for a few minutes. His
manner seemed to her determinedly
chilly. “Do you stay long In Paris?"
he asked as he was about to drive bn.
“No," she answered. “And you?"—

George Bitot and “Itomoln."
George Eliot’s first arrangement with
the publisher of “Romola” was for uo
less a sum thau 10,000 gulueas. "As
that Is so very large a figure," be said,
“I must run it through fifteen numbots
of the Cornblli.” "No," she answered;
“it must finish In twelve numbers or
the artistic effect of the story will be
lost. 1 quite understand the neoeselty
for Its prolongation from u commercial
point of view, so we'Jl any 7,000
gulueas Instead of the 10,000.” And
7,000 guineas -was accordingly paid for
the copyright. Three thousand guineas
seem a large sum to give up for an
artistic scruple, but she did It.
The It hie In the River.
It Is little short of astonishing to
see how little water Is required to float
the southern river steamers, a boat
loaded with perhaps ’a thousand bales
of cotton slipping along contentedly
where a boy could wade acroBS the
stream. Once, however, the Chatta
hoochee got' too low for even her light
draft commerce, and at Gunbont
shoals a steamer grounded. As the
drinking water ou board needed re
plenishing, a deck hand was sent ashore
with a couple of wuter’buckets. Just
at this moment a northern traveler ap
proached the captain of the boat, and
usked hlm^how long ho thought they
would have to stay there.
"Oh, only until that man gots back
with a bucket of water to pour Into
i the river,” the captain replied. Pres
ently the deck hand returned, and the
stale water from the cooler was
emptied overboard. Inatantly, to tbe
amazement of tbe traveler, tbe boat
began to move,
"Well, If that doesn’t beat thunderl”
he gasped.
The fact was that the boat, touching
the bottom, bad acted as a dam, and
there was Boon backed up behind her
enough water to lift her over the shoal
and send her on down the- stream.—

John Doc Proceeding*.
“John Doe” proceedings were abol
ished by law In Groat Britain In 1852.
Previous to that time Johji Doe had
figured in the old fashioned ejectment
action for tho recovery of the posses
sion of laud, together with damages
for the wrongful withholding thereof.
For various reasons of convenience
and history dating from the reign of
Edward III. A did not proceed against
B directly in such a case. Instead A
delivered to B an entirely false state
ment from the fictitious “John" Doe”
that A bad devised the land to “John”
for a term of years, and “John” had
been ousted from it by tbo equally
fictitious “Blcliard Uoe.” Then Rich
ai’d informed LI that he was not £olng
to defend the acMop himself, but B
must do it. and bo on. Onea'iionally.
by way of variety, “John Doe’",gave
place to one “Goodtitle.”
