WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-The Cab
met meeting to-day Was attended by all
the members except Secretary Whitney,
who ia in New York, The session lasted
about three hours aud was devoted to a
general discussion OF the business pending
in each OF the Departments.
The question Of shortening the hours Of
work in the Departments during the holi-
day recess, according to the long establish
ed custom, was also considered. 1t was
decided that in addition to closing the De-
partments on Christmas and New
Years day they would bs closed at noon
on each Of The days Immediately pre-
csding these holidays, and that they
would be open for business rs usual IN
the interum. ThsCourse was adopted ia
view OF the representation that the busi-
ness in several of the departments notably
the Treasury, is somewhat in arrears aud
might accumulate business il the hours Of
work we're shortened.
1t is said at the White House that with
two or three exceptions all Of the recess
appointments have been sent to the
Senate for confirmation.

rhe coming Poultr, SHOW.

Next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, December 20, so and 81, the Wheel.
ing Poultry Association will give its first
annual exhibition at McLsin's hall, on
Twelfth street. A most attractive pre-
MUM list has been prepared. DR.. W. J.
Bates, Jr., OF this city, is President, Mr.. s..
@. Hamilton Secretary, and ]. T. Stone
Treasurer. The coming show bids fair to
be an event Of unusual interest, not only
TO poultry fanciers or breeders, but to the
general public as well. There was no
feature OF the lasL State Fair which more
justly won praise thar the poultry show,
yet in the large variety OF Exhibits there
it was neglected by many. 1t is partly to
remedy this that the association has ar
ranged this exhibition.

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 22.-The Georgia
Pacific road yesterday refused toilet the East
Tennefsee trains run ever the seventeen
mile stretch to Austell, heretofore used by
both roads. 1t was upon this stretch that
the late accident occurred in which fifteen
lives were lest. A quarrel as to respon-
sibility grew out OF that accident. Accord
ing to the Georgia Pscifc's construction OF
the rules, the East Tennessee road would
have been resporsible for the accident,
which would invite heavy damage suits,
while the Eaat Tennessee's construction
would throw the blame on the Georgia
Pacific.
At an carly hour Monday morning the
Georgia Pacific closed its line to the East
Tennessee, and at noon, stopped the mail
train for one hour. The East Tennessee's
officers then consented to accept the
Georgia Psc fc's construction, when tho
trains were allowed TO move. Over three
miles OF trains had been blocked.

Three Men Buried Under u sand Bank-TWo

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. ga serious and
probably fatal accident occurred in the
E ghtsenth ward at o'clock this morn
ing. Pierre Laure, a teamSter, has been
engaged for some weeks past in hauling
gravel, which he procured at huge gravel
bed in the southern part Of the city. He
had engaged to help him a Bohemian
named Bailkowski, ana Pole whCss name
could not be learned. At the hour stated
this morning the trio entered the gravel
bed and began digging in deep cavern
that had been followed out in the side Of
the mill.
They had not worked long when James
Moses, a bystander, called 10 them to get
out, that the bank was falling in. His
warning was too late. Before the men
could emerge from the driit 8 huge mass
OF gravel had caved in on them and bur
led them. Moses gave the alarm aud
speedy hands set TO work TO rescue the
buried men. About 7 O'Clock Laure was
uncovered and found lying upon his face,
unconscious, with one leg crushed under
him. The Bohemian YVES found soon at-
ter, also lyir E upon his face and uucon-
sciuus. The Pole was the last to b5 taken
out, but, strange to say, he suffered the
least injury Of the three, and was con-
scious when found. The Bohemian Is
thought to be fatally injured, aud Laure's
chances for recovery are very slight.
