DEATH OF EDWARD L GooDsELL.

On Sunday morning last the sad intel ligence was spread about town that Ed ward L. Goodsell, a resident of Palestine district, respected for integrity and man ly traits, had passed away after 8 severe sickness of three weeks duration. MT GoodseI for some time past had suffered with pulmonary troubles and these, con- bined with an attack of bilious pneumon ia, caused his death. Mir Goodsell was Q son of Lewis Goodsell of Poverty Hol- low and by trade was a natter, at which he worked in Danbury until about four years ago, when he moved to Newtown and took the farm. The funeral services were held from his late residence on We'd negday afternoon at o'clock, Rev Otis w. Barker officiating. The bearers were brother Odd Fellows from Danbury, MT Goodsell being member of Samaritan Lodge, No. 7, of that city. The inter ment WAS in the Newtown cemetery by the side of his wife, who preceded him some five years. There are two surviv- ing children, Rollo E. Goodsell and Miss Nellie A. GoodselI.

Ua~ IeyVilIc WAS all excitement on Sat urday morning, over the fact that the railroad .tation had been visited by bur glars, and the night telegraph operator compelled to sit still while the thieves se- cured what money was on the premises. It appears that Night Operator J. J. Sullivan was alone in the building, save for the presence of Abraham Baldwin, ,an aged negro and respected citizen of that end of the town. It seems that Baldwin has been accustomed to drop in on the night operator, who was not sorry for his company. Baldwin was enjoying 8 little sleep on one of the benches when the two burglars entered the station about 2.I5 a. ii. The first MT Sullivan knew of their presence was when he look ed up into the muzzIes of two revolvers. He was told to hand over what money he bad, but he declared he had none. The visitors ordered him to open the ticket case and money drawer, but he said he could not as he had no key. One of the hoboes then stepped outside and returned with an iron bar, and in less than sec- ond the drawer was pried open and they | took what money was on hand One of i the pair took Sullivans watch, but his comrade ordered him to return it, saying it would be of no use to them. They 1 then paid attention to Baldwin, now thor oughly awake and badly frightened. He was ordered to give up what money he had, but he protested. WhereuDon they discharged their revolvers, shooting into the floor dangerously near Uncle Abra- hams small feet. This caused him to change his mind and he mournfully turn. ed over his money, about $8. After this they departed, having left the ticket case unmolested.
 Soon after their departure Sullivan started out to notify Agent James, but one of the pair placed a pistol at his head and ordered him to return. In a short time he ventured out again and proceeded to MT James house. They returned to the station, and telegraphed and tele phoned in all directions. MT Drew soon arrived on the scene, and with MT James started for New Milford. No trace of the parties has been discovered up to date.
 One of the pair was tall and slender, while the second was short and stocky. MT Baldwin felt his loss deeply and the next night went down to the station arm ed with two razors and 8 club.

NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN.

Several influential newspapers of the
state have suggested Mr.. John w. Tom
linson for membership on the national
democratic committee. The Athens Cou-
rer, one of the ablest edited papers of
north Alabama, has this to say:
'"The name of Col. John w. Tomlinson
of Birmingham is. being prominently
urged for the position of committeeman
from Alabama on the national democratic
committee. The honor could not be con-
ferred upon one more worthy and deserv-
ing, or who would discharge the duties
of the position more faithfully and eff
GENTLY. He conducted Captain john
ston's recent campaign for the nomina-
tion with consummate tact and ability,
and is known throughout the state as an
earnest and enthusiastic worker in the
democratic ranks"
At the conference of democrats from
all over the state held in this city last
September Mr.. Tomlinson was selected
as a member from Alabama on the BIZ
metallic democratic rational committee,
provided for at the conference at Wash
ington in August of last year. One rea-
son for his appointment was that he was
already a member of the national silver
committee, appointed at the Memphis
convention, and had become acquainted
with the leading silver advocates of the
United States.
AS q member of the bimetallic demo-
cratic national committee, which is large
" credited with the success of the silver
wing of the democratic party, Mr.. Tom
linson is in touch with the dominant spfr-
its of the democratic party, and is famil-
lar with the conditions which will con-
front the party ON the opening of the
campaign Immediately after the assem-
bling of the democratic national conven-
ton at Chicago. He was appointed on
that committee without his knowledge,
but, having been,appointed. he did his full
duty, attending athis,own expense every
meeting of the committee. besides having
thoroughly organized Alabama as mem
Der of that committee.
