I The Lafayette was heading directly I j oto Havana and waa capluied only i | after an exciting chaae. After being | Warded once by an officer of tho An | Qt po]i«, abe attempted to run for it, My but was again compelled to heave to. ft is reported that the Lifayette, in I. addition to being a French mail steamer, is a French naval reaerve sesael, mounting gone and carrying a cssw sufficient to make her ready for K active service at short notice. The seizure of the French liner I reamer Lafayette by the gunboat An : napolia caused a distinct senealiqgjn official and diplomatic circles here, aa ( H was believed to involve the poaaibil iiy of more serious foreign complica tions than had arisen thus far. The officials of the state department and of the French embassy received the news of the capture from the Asso ciated Press dispatches, and in both quarters it was given grave attention. In the state department it was taken aa a forerunner of a number of cases of a like character ie follow, for thia was the experience of the United States blockading forces during tbe civil war. Many times during the progress of that war tbe country was on the verge of a breach of diplomatic relations with some of tbe European nations because of the seizure of blockade run ners. Taking tbe facta as reported, the of* E : ficials of tbe department declare posi- F tively, and in Ibis they are supported by tbe unanimous voice of the naval officials, that there can be no question that the Lafayette was a blockade runoer, pure and simple, and aa such is a lawful prize. Tbe Spanish authorities in London are strongly Intimating that Commo dore Dewey has been entrapped by Spanish gunboats kspt concealed out side of tbe harbor. It is believed, however, they are on* ly trying to make ee much as possible of tbe absence of news from the American fleet. Certain powers, have again made overtures to Great Britain to intervene in the war, and Great Britain has again refused. It is a significant fact that tbe British naval authorities have decided to immediately commission two new battleships, just completed. A story was published in London today to tbe effect that the British admiralty has been notified by tbe Washington naval strategic board to remove tbe British subjects from tbe Canary Islands, and it is said this ac counts for the British second class cruiser Charybdis being ordered to Las Palmes. It leads to tbe conclusion that Rear Admiral Sampson may attack tbe Canary Islands, which would either draw tbe Spanish fleet out of Cadiz or give the United States a naval base from which to attack Spain. Tbe story in London ia creating a great deal of* talk and is generally commented on. Notice. Call communication of Griffin Lodge No. 413, F. and A.

A MUBDIBXS CAPTUBZD. i Griffin Police Made Another Good Haul Yesterday- * Chief Ison and Officer Gordon made I an arrest yesterday that will inteiest > tbe authorities of more than one couo- * ty in Georgia, when they closed tbe prison doors upon Will Cobb. > Cobb ia wanted in Carroll county I for burglarizing a store at Clem over a year ago, and has been indicted by I the grand jury of Fayette as being an i accessory to the murder of Lun Jack son, near Brook Station, who was kill ed and bis body thrown into a creek, I where it was found several days later in a bad state of decomposition. Tbe authorities were confident at > the time that the same parties com i milted both deeds, and the negro, i Jackson, was killed to prevent hisgiv i ing away the burglars. Suspicion was very strong -against Cobb, and the . grand jury found a true bill, but be I managed lo skip out before the officers > could secure biro. ' • Ooe of the suspeeted parties, bow- ■ ever, was arrested and when put on trial plead guilty and was sentenced ' to a life imprisonment in the peniten tiary, and but for the vigilance of our ■ police that would possibly have been i the last act in tbe tragedy. Officer Gordon beard yesterday i morning that Cobb waa in Griffic and ! having seen him a few years since kept a sharp lookout for him. About nine o’clock he spotted bis game, but knowing Cobb to be desperate cbarao* ter, who always went armed and was a dead shot, be called Chief Ison to bis assistance before making tbe ars rest. Cobb was taken completely by sur prise, and before be recovered bis self ( possession the officers bad him ip' , tbeir power. J ( He was carried to police headquar ters and searched, when a "38 calibre, i bammerlese, pistol and long keen dirk ware found upon bis person. , After finding the weapons on Oobfe . the local officers had a case against , him, and a warrant waa sworn out charging him with carrying concealed [ weapona. , He was tried for that offense before I judge Beck yesterday afternoon,when , be plead guilty, and was sentenced to pay a fine of SSO or work on the chai'ngang for sit months. He was . unable to pay the fine and in a few , moments bad been shackled and was on his way to the stockade. I He took his sentence very calmly . but said he thought the judge had , been rather hard on him. "The last time I was in the. gang," said he, "I only went up for twelve months, and , that was for shooting an officer four times, while he was attempting to ar , rest me. Now I get six months just for carrying veapona." , After Cobb serves out bis sentence , on Capt. Camp’s gang, he will be , turned over to the authorities of Fay ette, where he will be tried upon a much more serious charge than carry* . ing concealed weapona. A Selfish World. No matter how things go—tbe poor .' always suffer. Yes, tbe nabobs who own railroads don’t think anything of running over a poor man’s horse. B And the man who can afford to own a horse runs down tbe poor fel- B low on a bicycle. e And the fellow on a bicycle runs down tbe poor chap who has to walk. And tbe man who walks stumbles against tbe poor cripple who goes on * cratches. I And the cripple on crutches spends most of his time jamming bis stioks down on other people’s corns. a So don’t be too nncharitable with tbe . money grabber, for, bad we a chance, we might be tbe biggest grabbers of them all.
