The Boston and Mnine Chcckmntes the New
Haven by Purchase Of Control.
BosToN. Dec. 16.-Railroad mon and bankers
have been interested in Il sharp trick played
on tho New York. New Haven and Hartford Ivy
the Boston and Maine interests. President
Clark of the New Haven road announced last
Tuesday that the New York. New Haven and
Hartford had leased the Connecticut River
Railroad for nnety-nine years. subject to the
approval OF the stockholders. and that some of
the transportation contract had already gone
into effect.
To-day sensation was created by the state
ment that tho Boston and Maine interests had
secured an option or purchased over IL 500
shares of Connecticut River stock out OF u
total capitalization OF 2.5sO.OUO. This made
1t necessary to secure only few hundred
shares. and as 1t took Il two thirds vote OF the
stockholucrS OF the Connecticut Niver to lehs0
that road, 1t seems to enectuaily prevent the
lease ni tho road to The New oik. New haven
and Hartford in any event Friends OF the
Boston and Maine deal claim either that the
Boston and elaine has secured the few shai es
necessary in addition to those already secured
IN order TO give them the controlling interest,
or that there will be no trouble settlng them.
The price pad for the stock Is said to have
been about $40 per share. though As high as
43lo was paid for some.
PRESIDENT, Clark OF the New York. New Haven
and says that he has no asoh to doubt the
claim nade to him ny parties Interested in tho
boston and Alano that they have secured con-
troll OF the road in question.
President | lark also stated that the Connec-
ticut River management made u air and so uars
bargain to lease their road. and promised to
recommend the carrying out Of the arrange
ment to their fellow stockholders. ana their
subsequent action looks rather singular. espc-
clally thut Of the gentleman who promised to
turn in his own proxies and to secure the
boston proxies The following day. but. instead,
proceeded to work in the interest Of tho oppo-
sition. The New iluven people do not propose
to contest the possession OF the river road at
any such price as 1t now commands in the
market, as Its control would not warrant it.

An Aged Lady Murdered by Worthless
Boy Whom She Had Adopted.
MARIETTA, Ga, Aug. 16.-Early
this morning the horribly mutilated
body of Mrs. Matte Looney, an aged
lady living near here, was found near
her house, and the manner of her
death involved is in the deepest mys-
terry. Mrs. Looney is about 55 years
of age. She had been living on fine
800 acre farm in this county for several
years, the only other occupants of her
home being Mrs. Birkland, 78 years
old, and negro man. At first it was
believed to be an attack of a negro,
but the police have struck on a clue
which resulted in the arrest in At
lanta of a white man. He was
adopted by Mrs. Looney, but turned
out bad. Mrs. Looney's property, by
the terms of her will, was to revert to
him at the time of her death, and IL
is believed he had a hand in the kill
ing. He has been away some time,
but was seen near the place Saturday.

very best. The little girl who came
home when her father died denies the
story purporting to come from her.
She says the colonists were well con-
tented when she was sent home.

GALVESTON, Aug. 16.-L.T. Menage,
president of the North Galveston
Rairway company and the North Gal
weston association respectfully, let the
contract yesterday to j. III. Barrett of
Houston, to construct railway from
Virginia Point to North Galveston, a
distance of seventeen miles. Work
on the line will be commenced next
week and it is expected to have it COM
pleted and in operation to North Gal
weston by Nov. l. On its completion
traffic arrangements will be made
either with the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe or the Interna-
tional and Great Northern
railway from Virginia Point into the
city until the question of combina-
tion railway bridge across West Gal
weston is decided upon. Should this
bridge not be built it is quite probable
the North Galveston Railway COM
pany will build bridge of their own,
and extend their line from Virginia
Point into this citp. On completion of
the railway to North Galveston steps
will be at once taken to extend it to
Houston by the nearest available
route, and thus afford an inlet into
Galveston of some of the railways
being projected into Houston. The
