DECATUR FURNACE
 WILL BE MOVED HERE
Purchased by the TutwiIer Coal,
 Coke 6 Iron Company
WAS BUILT SOME YEARS AGO
Major TutwiIer Declined to Make Any Statement for Pubication-WiIl be Rebuilt at Vanderbilt Three
 Miles North of the City.

telegram from Decatur yesterday stat cd that the Tutwiler Coal, Coke and Iron Company of this city had purchased the furnace in that city. When told of the contents of the telegram Maj. F. M. Tut wiler, owner of the Tutwiler Coal. Coke and Iron Company. declined to make any statement for publication.
 The telegram stated that the Decatur removed to Birmingham. It was stated some time ago that Major Tutwiler con- templated building another furnace at East Birmingham which would be of much larger capacity than the one he now ope rates. The Decatur furnace was partially built in 1888 when the boom was at it's height at that place. The yellow fever epi- demic, which temporarily stopped the prog ress of the two Decatur furnaces, also stopped work on this furnace, and it was not completed until 1890 or 1891. It was a charcoal furnace and was originally built by the Decatur Land Company. but when completed passed into the hands of new parties, who operated 1t few months. It has been idle however. since the early nineties. About two years ago Eugene Zimmerman purchased the furnace, anN it was given out at the time that he would put it in operation, but for some reason he never did so.
 The Tutwier Coal, Coke and Iron Com pany owns several thousand acres of valu- able coal lands in Jefferson County and some ore lands in other sections of the State. In addition to operating a number of coal mines the company also operates several batteries of coke ovens and the old Vanderbilt furnace near Boyles three miles north of the city

MISS LUCY MORROW
 GOES TO COLUMBUS
Will be Married This Evening in
 the Ohio City
HER FIANCE WAS DETAINED
Underwent Operation on His Throat Which Prevented His Travelling. The Sequel to a Real Ro-
 nance of the Stage.

Miss Lucy Morrow, accompanied by her father, Dr. George NJ Morrow, left Birm- ingham yesterday at noon for Columbus Ohio, where her marriage to MT. Harvey Charles Le Lourd of New York will take place this evening at o'clock. The we'd ding was to have occurred at the brides home in this city today, but MT. Le Sourd is quite i'll in Columbus and unable to travel. He underwent serious surgical operation for his throat a few days ago with the hope that he would be able to continue his journey south. His physi- clans, however, forbade any exposure as being ruinous to his throat. The latest telegrams which were received Sunday con- veyed the sad intelligence of MT Le Sourd's continued suffering from the eff fects of the operation and his inability to reach Birmingham in time for his mar riage, which had been set for Christmas day.
 Several telegrams passed between Miss Morrow and her fance and 1t was de- cided rather than to postpone the wedding day that Miss Morrow make the journey to Ohio, where the ceremony will take place quietly this evening"
 The engagement of Miss Morrow to MT Le Sourd was announced in the Age-Her- aid short time ago.
 The young bride of today is the second daughter of Dr. and Mrs. George M. Nor row. She is a beautiful and brilliant young woman and was leading lady in MT. Hearn's Shore Acres" Company when she met Mir Le Sourd. She became engaged to him shortly afterwards and retired from the stage two months ago.
 MT. Le Sourd is a leading young New York actor.

MRS. E. H. LATHROP
 BURNED TO DEATH
Terrible Tragedy in a FaShiona-
 ble Home
FOUR HOURS OF SUFFERING
Lady's Wrapper Catches Fire n Her Room and Her Daughter is Rurn- ed Trying to Save Her-Wife
 of a Noted Man.

Mrs. Annie King Lathrop, wife of Hon. yesterday afternoon at o'clock and died four hours later.
 Precisely how the accident occurred is not known, and cannot ever be known, since the grave may not give the story.
 Mrs. Lathrop was alone in a room of the residence of Mrs. Miles, Highland ave nue, and about 1 o'clock she was heard to scream. The door, which had been closed, was hastily opened and Mrs Lathrop rushed out, her skirt in flames. crying for help.
 Her stepdaughter, Miss Edith Lathrop en- folded the burning woman in her arms and the two struggled to reach the open air Meantime other ladies of the house. hold ran to the assistance of the two who were desperately fighting the fire
 Miss Edith Lathrops dress took fire as she endeavored to save her mother and in stantly she too was burning. Finally the flames were put out, and by that time some of the neighbore arrived, attracted by the cries of the women
 Physicians were summoned instantly, and it was seen that Mrs. Lathrop was horri- bly, most frightfully, burned, and lost to consciousness The physicians perceived immediately that the pitifully suffering woman was injured beyond recovery, and her family were informed that she could not be expected to live longer than few hours She died at o'clock after suffering unspeakable agony Miss Lathrops inJu- ries were appily confined to her right arm, from the wrist to the elbow, and al- though she suffered intensely there was no danger to life or her arm. Last night she was resting comfortably.
 Any surmise as to how Mrs. Lathrop' s clothing caught fire must be merely specu- latiye though there was an open fire burn ing in the room. Unfortunately she wore a house wrapper of light cotton stuff, which was inflammable and easily ignited. The fire once begun, the flames instantly spread-all over her outside clothing.
 Most fortunately Miss Edith Lathrop was dressed in thick woolen outer garments, which burned slowly, and to that fact is due the presentation of her life.
 Hon. Frank H. Dathrop and his family have for sometime been residing with Mrs. Miles, in whose residence the terrible trag- edy occurred.
 Mrs Lathrop, who was physically, as well as mentally, a splendid type of wom- anhood, was a grandniece foWilliam Ru- fus King. who was a member of Alabama's s first constitutional convention, who repre- sented the State in the United States Senate from 1923 to 1S4O, and was again elected in 1S49, and who became president of the Sem ate in 1850. She was a woman of Qotable in- tellectual fierce and of most admirable and charming character; strong womanly woman of the highest type of southern womanhood Last June she lost her only child, a bright little boy.
 Mrs. Lathrop's funeral will probably take place tomorrow; intrment will be at River side though no arrangements have yet been announced.

Will be Discontinued After January i. Clergy Rates for 19o1-Rules and Regulations--News of Note in
 the Railroad Circles.

The party rates which all the railroads have observed in the past will be discon- tlnued after the first of January, except for theatrical troupes, baseball clubs and other companies and societies that travel regularly. rate of two cents a mile has been allowed for a number of years to. any party of ten or more persons travelling on one ticket, but it is stated that the pas senger departments of the dlheren roaLs have agreed to discontinue this praclce af- ter the beginning of the new year.
 It is also stated that the special rates to Texas and the West will be discontinued after the first of January. A large number of persons have left the Southeast for Texas during the past two months than ever before in the same period of time, but it Is believed that with the return to the regular fare there will be a decided dropping off in this travel.
 Emigrant Business.
 In discussing the emigrant business yes terday one of the passenger agents said "The Wetern business has been very heavy this season, but l do not expect it to con- tinue much longer Of course the people who have come to their old homes to spend the holidays will take number of their friends and relatives back to Texas with them, but after that travel is over 1 do not think there will be many more people to leave this part of the country for an other year at least The cheap rates which have been in effect for several weeks and which have been a great inducement to go to Texas will be discontinued after January l. We do not like to see the people leave the section of country traversed by our line, but of course, when we know they are going anyhow we do our best to get them to patronize our road. We prefer to bring new people into the State, as that would give us a permanent business which we cannot have if the people are continually leaving it.
 The crowds that came in from the West yesterday were almost as large as those of Saturday and the union passenger sta- ton was crowded all day long. From now on, however, this travel will be light, but the excursionists will begin returning West in few days and the roads will again be heavily taxed to handle them. They will not return in the great crowds that they came in, however, as they have until Jan uary 2l in which to arrive at the starting point.

THIS WEATHER.

The human race is tickle, but hard
ly more so than the weather, and just
at present the majority of us would
give much of what we possess and
more of what we hope to have, to
emigrate to some cline where the sun
shines not SO fiercely and thermome-
tiers are prohibited by law from ever
raising above 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Last week with calm egotism we
boosted of our perfect summer wealth
er and defied the world to produce
pleasanter or more salubrious
Pride goeth before fall; and this
week the anathemas of the most pro-
fame are hardly sufficient to character
ize these much beblanked dog days.
But what would we? Without heat
there can be no crops; without crops
no cash; without cash comes calam-
ity Let us be thankful that the heat
is here, even tho we be not all o. us
ice men.
