8 THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA.. JUNE 3, 1879. It Colonol Walton Dwlght Alive? The Insurance companies Interested In tlie Dwight case are at work on a new theory. A large number of the Insurance people are satisfied that the body examined was a victim of stiioide, and there are Rome who knew the Colonel well who entertain the belief that he la still alive. The features of the case that point to nulolde have been widely published, and now some facts noted during the two autopsies are made publlo wbioh seem to ludioate that the body is not that of Colonel Dwlght. The records of the War Department In Wash ington, lit s claimed, show that Dwlght at the bathle of Gettysburg was wounded by a ball passing through the upper third of 'the left thigh and splintering the femur, iand that at the inquest, upon examination, .a perfectly smooth bone was found. It is also glveu out that Walton Dwlght bod a square set Jaw, but the corpse had such a narrow Jaw that the ordlnnry plate used by dentists for obtaining casts was too large to be used successfully in getting a cast of the teeth. It is alleged that Wal ton Dwight had a long Grecian uose, while the nose of the corpse might be properly termed hooked, it was so very aquiline. Walton Dwight, as shown by his various applications to the companies, was six feet three inches in height, while the corpse 'was only six feet one inch and seven--eighths. The suspicion that Dwight is - alive is probably strengthened by the many . similar cases which have been met with in the experience of life insurance companies. ' The JElub Life Insurance Company was kept in the courts four years ' by Mr. Wackerle, who brought suit against the company for f 5,000 on the life of her hus band, alleged by her to be dead. A corpse J) ad been found and identified, and a ver clict of accidental death returned by a coronet's Jury. Last November Wackerle turned up alive in California, and was '"induced to come east by the compauy, to 'the astonishment of bis wifo's endorsers. 'j.Tt lis said that a western company paid KyfO claims of $10,000 each, one of them seven years ago, and the other eight years Ago. Within the paBt three months both the individuals have been found alive. A INew York compauy within the past two months has had a peculiar case. A man was insured for f 5,000 for the benefit of his wife. He took a Journey with a gen tleman friend. The gentlemau friend brought back a corpse, which he alleged was the late policy-holder. The bereaved widow identified the corpse. The discon solate friend identified him. He bad been 'accidentally killed, it was said. A dozen or more reputable citizens, whose honesty is not the least doubted, swore positively to the identification. The late lamented policy-bolder was found alive. The corpse was discovered to be the body of a man who bad resided in a neighboring town. Hany cases are now published of attempts to swindle insurance companies, some of which have been successful. A prominent insurance official expresses the belief that the Dwight case is bound to be the most celebrated case of the century. Strange Explosion. Johnstown the other day bad a lime ex plosion, by which three persons, Dr. Wakefield and bis young son Earl and a uurBe-girl named Clara Leber, were shock ingly burned. The explosion was "myste rious and unaccountable, "and no one seems to be able to make any explanation or put forth a plausible theory in regard to it. The doctor bad engaged a colored man to do some whitewashing about the premises and the necessary lime having been pur chased several days ago and permitted to taud out iu the weather the doctor con cluded that the better plan would be to slake it at once, and have it ready for the man when he should come to do the work. A half-bushel of lime was placed in a small Ash-barrel, over which the doctor poured a gallon of water. Little Earl and Miss Leber were standing close by, witnessing the operation of slaking. The water being eoon taken up by the lime the doctor procured another bucketful, which he slowly poured into the barrel, stirring the contents the while with a stick. After the the bucket was emptied he stood over the barrel watching the lime boil and bubble, -and the two children also approached and looked in, when suddenly ( there was a dull report, instantaneously followed by at) upheaval of the lime, which Hew into their faces and was scattered over the yard for a distance of twenty feet round about the barrel. The doctor's eyes were ifilled with the hot, caustic substance, which completely blinded him ; his nose and forehead were dreadfully burned, as also were both his bauds and arms, and be .inhaled a considerable quantity of the hot steam which arose from the lime. While -groping his way to the hydrant, in the hope of gaining relief by the application of water.the little boy began crying piteously. The doctor in his agony had not thought of the child, whose burns proved to be vqyj serious ; one eye being blindfolded, the skin being burnt off the left side of his face and neck, and his little bare feet receiving a quantity of the lime as it boiled over the edge of the barrel. The little girl was only slightly burned, ber eyes fortu nately escaping, and she was able to walk home soon after the accident happened. .Johmtown Tribune.
