THAT LUvERNE LINK.
The Outlook for Its Early Construction Is
 Very Encouraging.


 Very Encouraging. Luverne Journal.
 Private informa ton received here con- firms the long talked of railway from this place to connect with the Mobile and Girard railroad at Glenwood, giving a di- rect line to Savannah, Ga., and securing for IIuyerne reduction In all classes of freight, IS well as a more direct way for the shipment of cotton.
 It Is not a matter of dollars and cents, as there Is sufficient money to build the seven miles of road and equip it with sufficient rolling stock to meet the fall demand.
 From the best information to be ob- tained we find the Central railroad, which operates the Mobile and Girard road looking favorably upon this plan and doubtless ready to assist in the mat ter. M ,
 The construction of such road is not an impossibility and there is no reason why it should not be paying invest ment.
 It will be the direct means of securing a reduction in freight rates, which Is an important item to this section of the state. It Is estimated that at least 5000 bales of cotton could be handled by the road this year. This alone will be of in terest to the Central, as they will secure the hauling of the cotton on to Savannah.

Her Death at Roseland in the Seth Year of a
 Noble Life
 Eufaula Times lrs2
 Miss Eliza Bass died at Roseland yes- terday morning in her Seth year. She has been failing for years and largely helpless for the past year, and for months has been wheeled about in an invalid's chair. She was one of the most remark able women who ever lived in the state. She was a sister to the late Mrs. Sarah Toney, and has always lived in Mrs. teacher of the children and grandchil- dren who grew up around her, and the faithful adviser and friend of all who made Roseland their home or who had friendly footing in the dear old place. Hers was strong intellect and strong character No man or woman ever re- mained near her who did not catch some thing of strength and something of good from her candid lips and her always wise, judgment Aa ,- a
 During all these years 1t was said of her that her judgment of people, always given quickly, never failed her. She knew people by intuition, and the honest and the clever she loved. But she had lived until, as she said plantively to this reporter a few days ago, her intellect was failing her and her eyes were grow ing too dim to see.' She lived a full life out to the end, and In all it's years was able to be of great service to kindred and friends. If she had been asked if she desired to die we know what her an swer would have been. She had seen loved ones go down before and around her-younger people snatched from the family firestde and from among those elsewhere she loved. A dear sister from her side, went about a year ago, and a niece, younger and happier, out of the same home about a dozen months since. They were dying about her, and she had outlived all her contemporaries. She was more than ready to die. Blessed be the memory of the dear and useful fa fo,.

 Talladega, July 22-(Special Corre- spondence.)- Jour community was star tied this morning by the announcement of the death of Col. William N. Boynton during the night. Although 1t was known that he had been sick for some weeks past, yet outside of his family connec- tion it was not thought that he was se- riously ili
 Col. William Nathan Boynton was born July 2S, 1881, in Vermont, and was reared in New York state. He graduated at Hamilton college in 1854 and removed to Alabama the following year, teaching school one year in Wilcox county, and in 1857 settled in Cahaba in the practice of law. In 1859 he married Miss Fannie Isbell, daughter of Maj. James Isbell of Tal1adega In 1867 he moved to Selma where he resided until 1884, when he re- moved to Talladega, where he has resid- ed continuously ever since, engaged in the hardware business. Colonel Boynton was an elder in the Presbyterian church and a member of the Masonic body
 The funeral services were conducted in the Presbyterian church by the pastor, Rev. Lynn Walker, the officers of the church officiating as pall-bearers, and the concluding services at the grave were conducted by the Masons.
 Colonel Boynton was a lovable man, esteemed by all who knew him for his urbanity and gentleness of manner, puri- ty of life and nobility of character. His ptety was quiet and undemonstrative, but earnest and effective, regulating and controlling his conduct towards his fel- low man. In all the relations of life he will be sadly missed The citizens of our Highland City turned out en masse to testify their regard for this worthy citi- zen, who has gone to his reward.
 Colonel Boynton left wife and two sons to mourn his death.

The Long Distance Telephone Worked Well-The Record Broken.

The Long Distance Telephone Worked Well-The Record Broken. Huntsville Mercury.
 People in the parlors of the Huntsville hotel yesterday afternoon had the very novel experience of converslng with per sons hundreds of miles away.
 The occasion was the opening of the long distance lines of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company. The line was formally opened by Mayor w. T. Hutchens, who held a conversation with D. l. Carson, general superintend- ent of the Southern Bell Telephone com- pany, in New York. The first words the mayor sent speeding over the wires were as follows:
 "Who Is that?"
 "Ths is Huntsville, Ala. The city of Huntsville, her people, send greetings to New York, hoping that the long distance telephone may be of both pleasure and profit to her people and increase our already pleasant business relations with the great eastern metropolis
 The conversation then drifted into poll itics and the man in New York was heard to applaud when MT. Hutchens announced himself a goldbug.
 After the formality of the opening of the lines bad been copcluded, persons in Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, Evans vile, Pittsburg and a number of other cities were called and conversed while twenty people at a time listened: Man ager Moore had made arrangements with Messrs. w. I. Wellman and T, w. Pratt in Cincinnati and MT. R. s. Hal sey in Chicago to come to the long dis tance stations in those cities and engage in pleasant chat with their home friends. The voices of these gentlemen were read fly recognized by all the listeners who were acquainted with them. Maj. M. J.

that is particularly gratifying to Alder
man Casper who is the member of the
park commission who does the chief part

during the year, of which $l756,G5 was
from the sinking fund provided for the
purchase and development of the park and
which could not be used for any other pur-
pose. This park has been greatly i'm
proved and bcauted and the commissioners
note with pleasure the keen appreciation
that a manifested by the residents of
the western part of the city in the hand
some play ground that has been provided
for them. The park has become very popu-

children If the statement made here tonight
by Maggie Catron be true. The Catron girl
is a prisoner here in the county Jail. charged
with completely in the Winner tragedy She
had lived with the Winners and at the time
of the murder was much in the company
of Winner and Lon Lackey, the prisoner who
was brought here from Lexington on Satur-
day last and who was taken to Kansas City
today to guard against a second lynching.
Tonight Maggie Catron made the following
statement: my knowledge has mostly been
gained through Lon Lackey, since the murder
was committed. On the night following the
preliminary trial. / stayed at my brothers
home and Lackey came down TO see me. l
asked him what he knew of the murder and
he said he guessed he knew all about it, He
, said that on the night of the murder, Winner
and Nelson asked him If he did not want
to make moonlight trip out north of town.
% which he answered yes. He (Lackey)
said they drove to the gate leading to Win
ner's home, when the latter remarked that
as he was so close to home, he believed
he would get out and stay, whereupon Mel
son got out and told Lackey to hold the
horses until he came back. They were gone
for quite while when both came back, got
into the buggy and started home. Then 1t
was that Nelson spoke up and told Lackey
what had been done and made him swear to
keep silent. do not know anything directly,
only what Lackey has told me-"
The Catron girl stated further that she had
been threatened during the day by friends
of Nelson, one of the men lynched as five
women had visited her during the day and
every one of them had told her she would
be lynched
When Lackey was taken away today, he
was driven past the wagon which conveyed
the bodies of Winner and Nelson to this
place. The prisoner was all but paralysed
with fear and pleaded with the officers to
hurry him to Kansas City.
LEXINGTON Mo-, Dec S.-There is some
talk Of lynching Maggie Catron, the dissolute
woman connected with the murder of Mrs.
Winner and her two children, for which Jesse
Winner and James Nelson were yesterday
strung up. The officers have her in hiding,
however, and che will doubtless be taken out
Of tho county for safe keeping The general
feeling of Ray county people over the lynch
ing Is that Of satisfaction, and regret that
Lon Llckey who has been taken to Kansas
City for safe keeping, was missed by the
lynchers. Many of the mob are said to be
well known citizens, whose names are in the
hands of the county attorney. Although the
latter has expressed a determination to bring
them to. justice. the work is so generally COM
mended that it would more than likely be
impossible to convict them.
