BULLETS END A BAD BLACK.
NEGRO MOB SHOOTS HIM DOWN IN
THE ROAD NEAR GIBSON.
The DeaA Man nn Outlaw Who Hail
Terroriei'l the Whole Community.
Went Armed W Itli n Revolver
and Winchester nnd Had Recently
Escaped From the Penitentiary.
A Negro Claims to Have Killed
Him Because He Ravished His
Daughter.
G.bson, Ga„ Nov. 15—At midnight last
right the citizens of the community of
Sleepy Hollow, six miles from Gibson,
•were aroused from their slumbers by the
report of a fusilade of shots. No one
•went to the scene of the noise until this
morning, when they found a human be
ing lying in the public road, with his body
and head riddled with bullets und buck
shot.
Upon investigation the dead man was
found to bo Josh Ituff, a desperate negro
outlaw, who recently escaped from the
penitentiary, and had been in that com
munity for several weeks. It is claimed
that he went around with several pistols
end a Winchester rifle, and had held up
several negroes of the Sleepy Hollow com
munity and robbed them, but he was also
guilty of going into the negro houses and
at the point of his rifle commanded the
negroes to surrender to him their money
and other valuables, and threatening to
kill them if they told of his conduct.
The negroes were afraid of Ruff, and
consequently were afraid to say anything
about the treatment they were receiving
at the hands of the outlaw'. From the
number of shots heard, and from the ap
pearance of the body, there must have
been at least twenty in the posse that
did the killing. It is thought that the
posse consisted of the negroes, who had
been robbed by the outlaw. Ruff evident
ly did some shooting before being killed.
There was blood in the road for several
miles leading to the scene of the tragedy.
Ruff was originally from Warren coun
ty, where he was once tried for murder.
He was tried in Taliaferro county several
years ago for trying to kill a white man.
He was a professional gambler.
Hezekiah Norris, a negro, has confessed
to the killing of Ruff, and says he did so
because Ruff ravished his daughter and
sent Norris word that if he divulged it
he would kill him. Norris may have had
a hand in the killing, but it is evident
that he was aided by several others. In
fact it was a lynching by a negro mob.
TOM ALLEN HEADY TO DIE.
Supreme Court's Refusal to Inter
fere Not a Surprise to Him.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 15.—News was re
ceived this morning that the slate su
preme court had affirmed the decision of
the lower court, which denies anew trial
for Tom Allen. Allen has been apprised
o? his fate, and while not entirely sur
prised at the decision, seems to be recon
ciled to the fact that there is no hope
for him to escape the gallows.
The fight to save Allen’s neck has been
one of the most stubborn in the history
of the criminal courts of the United States,
and has attracted widespread attention.
The public has become thoroughly famil
iar with Allen’s case during the three
years it has been running in the courts.
It will go down on record as a scarcely
less notable case than that the remark
able one in which Tom Woolfolk was the
central figure.
Alien shot and killed Charley Carr, an
entire stranger to him, while he was so
drunk that he knew nothing of the crime
until after several hours’ sleep in a cell
at the jail. When told of the horrible
crime he wept like a child, and refused
to believe he had slain a man until his
relatives corroborated the statement. For
several months the doomed man has been
preparing for death. Christian people
have shown much interest in him, and he
has professed Christianity, and says he
has made his peace with God, and is
ready to die. He reads the Bible daily,
and seems to be a devout worshipper of
the lowly Nazarene. Allen will be re
sentenced in a few days, as the superior
court is now in session.
KILLED STEALING A HIDE.
Telegraph Operntor Srpklnic For
Work Loom His Life.
"Ways, Ga., Nov. 15.—George V. Wal
ters was killed near this place by a
freight train while stealing a ride. The
accident occurred at the Ogeechee river
draw bridge. It la not known whether he
fell off or was knocked off by the draw.
His remains were brought to Ways, and
letters on his person proved him to be
the above. He was a telegraph operator
and a member of the Monongahela divis
ion of the Order of Railway Telegraphers.
He was a man of good appearance, about
40 years old. Among the letters in his
possession was one from his daughter at
Bt. Mary's Catholic school. He seems to
have come south in search of work, as
his recommendations show he left the
Pennsylvania railroad in good standing.
E. L. Commings, agent for the Florida
Central and Peninsular, had the body in
terred at this place, but to-night the dead
man’s brother has wired from Pennsyl
vania for the remains. There was no eye
witnesses to the accident, as the conduc
tor of the Florida Central and Peninsular
train No. 75 knew nothing of his being on
the train, as he was evidently riding on
the rods. There is no blame attached to
the railroad.
L. I*. WADE DROPS DEAD.
Heart Failure Caused by Acute In
digestion Carries Him Off.
Sylvania, Ga., NoV. 15.—Hon. U. P.
Wade dropped dead in the court house
here this morning. He was in good health
and his sudden end was a shocking blow
to the whole town. A few minutes before
he fell he complained of heart-burn, and
was walking out of the court house to get
relief, when he dropped on the marble
portico and died without speaking. The
physicians say that his death came from
heart failure, caused by aWte indigestion.
Upon the opening of the court this aft
ernoon, it was adjourned by Judge Gamble
till to-morrow in respect to the dead.
Col. Wade was a lawyer of marked abil
ity. and a gentleman. He has represented

RATTLE OF BONDHOLDERS.
Rival Faction* of the Eagle and
Plienlx Mill at War.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. 15.—A red-hot fight
is on between the Woodruff and Ruge fac
tions of bondholders over the reorganiza
tion of the Eagle and Phenix Manufac
turing Company. Messrs. Ruge and Wood
ruff were members of the reorganization
committee, but Mr. Woodruff kicked out,
charging that Mr. 'Ruge and his associ
ates were subordinating the interest of the
bondholders to those of the depositors
and stockholders. He issued a circular
calling another meeting of the bondhold
ers for Nov. 22. Mr. Ruge wires from New
York as follows: ’'The circular of the Ea
gle and Phenix mill, wherein Mr. George
W. Woodruff ventilates his imaginary
grievances by insinuation, is unjust and
misleading, and not warranted by the
facts. I advise the bondholders not to re
spond to the circular. John G. Ruge.”
It Is said Mr. Ruge is a candidate for
president of the company. Mr. Woodruff
is the largest Individual bondholder. The
two factions appear pretty evenly divid
ed, and there is fun ahead.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1897.
BOGGS CALLED ON TO RESIGN.
A t heim Danner Accuse* Him of Sid
ing With the I'ntverslty’s Foe*.
Athens. Ga., Nov. 15.—0n account of an
interview of Chancellor Boggs of the state
university appearing in to-day's Issue of
the Constitution, in which he practically
goes over to the side of those fighting the
university and advocates the repeal of the
free tuition act of the legislature, the
Athens Banner will to-morrow morning
call upon him to resign the chancellorship.
Dr. Boggs not only favors abolition of
the free tuition law, but he also favors the
freeing from taxation ail properly, real
and personul devoted to educational pur
poses. The following Is a part of the inter
view relative to the free tuition law re
ferred to:
“Are you In favor of repealing the stat
ute of 1881 to establish free tuition at the
university?” )
“Yes, 1 am, and my friends know that
I have been in favor of it for years. In
deed, in a confidential conversation with
my dear friend and brother, Bishop Hay
good, who was at the time president of
Emory College, caused me to see that free
tuition at the university was considered
to be a grievance by the denominational
colleges. Of course, as Bishop Haygood
fully agreed with me, quite a number of
young men ought to be exempted from
paying tuition, as for Instance, the six
teen young men at Athens who are bor
rowing from the Brown fund, and a num
ber of others whose condition is well
known to me. But this exemption could
be made privately—say, by the chancel
lor, with the advice and consent of the
prudential committee of the board of trus
tees, with whom he can communicate at
any time.
“Thus the matter would be kept private,
and it ought to lie, and the difficulty sug
gested by Maj. Meldrim could be avoided.
The major says that he advocated free
tuition because the men who were ex
empted and signed the contract with Gov.
Smith in 1872, were liable to be mortified
by having the matter made public. I tell
him that an act repealing free tuition at
the university might be so framed as to
make the fact of exemption a private
matter, known only to a few confidential
officers of the university, and perhaps to
the investigating committees of the legis
lature, should they require it.
“I am in favor of showing every kind
ness to the denominational colleges. The
university needs no advantages of this
sort, and she asks for none.”
A FREAK OF TELEPHONY.
Munle Jumped Two Fee-t From a
Broken Wire to a NN hole One.
Sylvanla, Ga., Nov. 15.—Dr. J. W. Bowie
of Monte, in Emanuel county, visited his
oid home in Screven last week, and while
here told an Incident of his telephone line
which deserves to the recorded. Dr. Bowie
has a line running from his home to Dur
den on the Millen and Southern road,
and for two miles along the route he
uses the railroad poles, his wire being
about two feet below the wire of the Mil
len and Southern. One night he heard a
faint tinkling at hts telephone bell, as if
someone was trying to ring, and going to
the Instrument he heard music at the other
end of the line. After It was over, the
man at Durden asked him how he liked it,
nnd they held a short conversation and
then bade each other good night. What
was his surprise, then, to find out, a few
minutes afterwards, that his wire was
broken down for about a hundred yards
along the Mftlen and Southern road, be
tween the house and Durden, and that the
only possible way In which connection be
tween the two places could have been
made across the break was on the Millen
and Southern wire, two feet above his line.
There was no entanglement of wires, but
the connection was actually made through
the air from one lino to the other at both
ends of the break. The doctor has no
connection with Millen, bilt he says he can
very often talk to persous at that place
through his phone, the conversation leap
ing very nimbly across the breach from
one wire to the other, and going on to its
destination without losing any of Us
force.
SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Senator Shropshire Take* Excep
tion* to a Newspaper.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 15.—Senator Shrop
shire relieved tfie monotony of the ses
sion of the Senate to-day by jumping on
an article in the Constitution this morn
ing. He said that in this article It was
stated that the Senate had prepared a
substitute for Mr. Hall’s convict lease bill
and that the article referred to a meeting
In his house for the purpose of talking
over the convict question. IMr. Shropshire
said the statement was not true, and the
article was calculated to create dissension,
between the Senate and the House.
Senator Battle of the Twenty-fourth ask
ed a reconsideration of the Senate's action
last Friday on the House bill by Mr. Cal
vin regulating the benefits of debenture’s
or redemption companies. He stated as
his reason for asking reconsideration that
the Senate Journal does not disclose what
amendments were made to the bill, or
whether they were adopted.
Senator Stewart of the Thirty-fourth op
posed reconsideration of the bill, saying
that his recollection was that the bill
and the amendments had been read and
adopted, and that the object in reconsid
ering the bill was to kill it. On motion
of Senator Stewart the bill was recom
mitted to the committee on banks.

ORGANIC CHANGES
The wholesome process of secretion
by the use of Carlsbad Water.
Prof. Hlawazek, an authority
on stomachic diseases says: “What
we have positively ascertained is,
that Carlsbad Water in a high
degree promotes organic changes
in the system; that principally by
its alkaline constituents, it acts as
an absorbent of fat and as an
antacid throughout the organism,
and that it performs this whole
some actiorl by stimulating, aug
menting and chemically altering
the whole process of secretion.”
Beware of imitations. The gen
uine Carlsbad Water and Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt must have the seal
of the City of Carlsbad and the
signature of “Eisner & Mendelson
Cos., sole agents, New York,” on
every label.
SYLVANIA AND SCREVEN.
The New Conrt House a Tiling of
Beauty—Court Begin*.
Sy’.vania, Ga., Nov. 15.—1 tis the uni
versal verdict that Screven county’s new
court house Is a thing of beauty. All who
have seen it pronounce it unsurpassed in
the state, for the money that it cost. No
county in Georgia can show a tastier,
more convenient or better built court
house. Mr. L. F. Goodrich of Augusta
was the architect, and Mr. Algernon Blair
of Macon, builder, ll cost about $15,000.
Superior court convened here in the new
court house this morning, Judge Roger L.
Gamble presiding. The docket is a heavy
one, including two murder cases to be
tried. Mr. R. G. Daniel of Millen is fore
man of the grand jury. The judge's
charge to that body was strong and im
pressive. On the subject of illegal selling
of whisky, he declared that it ought to be
the law in Georgia to-day, as it once was,
that any man who was seet: drunk in
public was guilty of a misdemeanor.
A dramatic entertainment was given at
the Masonic hall Friday night, for the
benefit of the Methodist parsonage, and
about S4O realized. Rev. C. D. Adams, the
pastor, with the help of the good women
of the circuit, has about raised enough
money to pay off the debt that has been
hanging over the preacher’s home here
for a number of years. The treasurers of
the different churches of the circuit will
meet in a few days and lift the mortgage,
afill Jt will be a glad time with the Meth
odists in th'a section. Mr. Adams’ untir
ing energy in this matter and the work
of the ladies cannot be too highly praised.
MACON MENTION.
A Hatch of Minor Items From the
Central City.
(Macon, Ga., Nov. 15.-Zephyr Wynne, a
little orphan for whom SI,OOO was raised to
send her to the Virginia orphan home, will
leave tn a few days. It has developed
that hte delay was occasioned by the child
having the whooping cough. The Bap
tists of Macon are stirred by rumors about
this matter and the city papers contain
explanations which show that Rev. Whar
ton is anxious to have the to his
orphanage at once.
John Willis, an employe of the Central
railway, was badly scalded yesterday.
While examining boilers he fell into a pool
of scalding water. His entire body was
submerged and the skin peeled off In sev

ley and Hon. Joe YV. Bennett of Bruns
wick are here. Mr. Bennett is recognized

A circus strikes the city to-morrow, and
a great crowd will be on hand. Quite a

INFERIOR GOODS
KNOCKED OUT.
In the long run, good goods win every
time. It has been our principle ever since
we started in business to handle only the
very best grades we could get. We have
been particularly careful about our canned
goods. Every brand that we sell can be
depended upon. The fresh vegetable
months are about over, and that is the
reason we have an unusually large and
varied stock of canned goods. Come and
see our display of dried fruits. We have
everything that is used in making fruit
cakes. You will find us headquarters in
this line.
