CUBA AND MONEY DISCUSSED.
Cabinet Held a Two Hours Session
Considering Annual Reports.

Washington, November 19.-The cabinet
was in session for two hours today, devoted
largely to Il discussion of the annual re-
ports of the different members The moro
important reports from the treasury. war
and navy departments have not yet been
made public and these were given consid-
GRAFTON at the session today. The president
also discussed various features of his mes
sage.
The two subjects which engaged the spe-
cal attention of the cabinet were those
latng to the manner in which the Cuban
problem and the question of the finances
should be handled in the presidents mes
sage. The opinion was generally expressed
that the Cuban situation as it affects the
United States was even more favorable
than could be expected and there was
especial good feeling over the release of
the crew of the Competitor. This and
other concessions were accepted as indicat-
ing n genuine desire on the part of the Sa-
gasta administration to meet the wishes
of The authorities of this country and bring
the war to a hasty termination. If there
was any doubt expressed as to Spain
maintenance of this line of policy 1t was
not made public. but there was no dissent
from the opinion that as long rs that coun-
try should continue in her course of CON
cliat ton there was nothing left for the ad-
ministration but to encourage il.
\ wide variety OF opinion was developed
among the members of the cabinet as To
the policy to be recommended on the tinan-
ciaI question. There were, indeed, almost
as many views expressed on the details in
VOWED in the discussion of this question aS
there we're cabinet members present. Their
differences related, however largely to de
tails and much of the conversation turned
upon the probable difficulties Of getting con-
gress to unite upon any line Of policy.

Time.

Gibson Ga November 15.-(Specal.) AT
midnight last night the citizens of tho
community of Sleepy Hollow. six miles
from Gibson, were aroused from their SUM
bers by the report of a fusilade of shots
No one went to the scene Of the noise
until this morning, when they found
form of u human being lying in the public
road with It's body and head punctured
with bullets and buckshot. Upon lnveSt!-
cation it was found to be the remains of
Josh Ruff a desperate outlaw who recent
~ escaped from the pcnitentiary and had
been in that community for several weeks.
Terrorized the Community.
It IS told that the outlaw went around
with several pistols and a winchester rlhe
and has been known to hold up several
negroes OF the Sleepy Hollow community
and rob them. and he was also guilty or
going into the negro houses and at the
point of his rife demand the negroes to
surrender to him their money and other
valuables. The negroes were afraid OF
Ruff. consequently they failed to say any
thing about the treatment they wero re-
ceiving at the hands of the outlaw.
He Fired Back.
From the number Of shots heard and
from the appearance Of the body. there
must have been at least twenty in the
posse that did the killing. 1t is thought
that the posse consisted Of the negroes
who had been robbed by the outlaw. Ruff
evidently id some shooting while be ne
killed. There was blood in the road for
several miles leading to the scene of the
tragedy. Ruff was originally from Warren
county where he was once tried for muir
der He was tried in Taliafcrro county
several years ago for attempted murder.
He was a professional gambler.
The Cause of the Tragedy.
Later news is to the effect that Hezo-
kiah Norris a negro, has confessed TO the
X Hing Of Ruff and says he did so be
cause Ruff had assaulted bis daughter and
sent Norris word that il he divulged it he
would Kill him.
Norris may have had a hand in the kill
ing but It S evident that he was aided by
several others. In fact, It was a lynchInS
by a negro mob.

Fairness to Himself.

Hank Miller of New York. some.
times called the "Omnibus King,
was goodLnatured, and full of fun
and he enjoyed a patronage which
eventually nctted him neat income
One evening Hank was making his
rounds of the stable, as was. his wont,
when he overheard the chink OF
money and subducd muttcring.
CHANGING over a stall, he discovered
one of his drivers counting his fares
as follows:
That's two 'shillun' for Hank, and
two for me-" laying the shillings in
two piles. He kept on dividing his
fares, until he came to the last piece
Of money, an odd shilling.
There" said he, that's too bad to
come out uneven, cause l wants to be
square and go halves with Hank. Let
me see, shall | throw this in his pile
No, I'll toss it up; heads for me and
tails for Hank" and he spun 1t up in
the air 'Tails it Isl" he cried as it
fell. "Well, that's Hanks l suppose"
but he hesitated. mo, l guess I'll
toss again" This time ID fell down
heads. "Ah. l knew that first toss
wasn't fair" and having divided the
money to his satisfaction, he slipped
away without knowing that Hank
had been watching him.
Hank gained his office before tho
thieving driver arrived to leave his
fares. Good evening, Jack" said he,
as the man entered. Luck good to-
day?"
Rather poor, Mr.. Miller" and he
laid the money on the desk.
