EFFORTS TO RETAIN THE PASTOR OF CEN
TENARY CHURCH.-Very general regret has
been expressed at the transfer OF Rev. 4.
N. Sledd, D. D., pastor Of Centenary Metho-
dist church, by the Virginia Annual Con-
ference to the responsible and diguitied po-
si;ion Of presiding elder OF the Lynchburg
district. 1t is stated that the change was
very unexpected to Dr.. Sledd. He had
completely won the. hearts Of his people,
and they were hopeful that he would con-
tlnue to be their pastor for two years longer.
On Sunday afternoon the members OF
Centenary church, as well US representa-
tives of other congregations in the city, met
in the lecture-room Of the church to hear
the report of a committee. appointed.to wait
on Bishop Pierce in Portsmouth, and ask
the retention Of DR.. Sledd as their pastor.
Much interest was manifested in the meet
ing. The committee reported that they had
discharged the duty imposed upon them,
and that while the Bishop received the
committee with great courtesy, he declined
to accede to the wishes OF the congregation
OF Centenary church and return DR.. Sledd.
Thereupon the meeting unanimously re-
quested Rev. John e. Edwards, D.. D.,
pastor of Park-Place Methodist church ;
Mr.. Thomas Branch. and Rev. J. j. Latier-
ty, to proceed to Charlotte, n. C., and lay
the subject again before Bishop Pierce.
Mr.. Branch and Mr.. La1erty left the city

isubserYed in all provisions designed TO pre-
vent persons not having an interes. and
ownership In property from taking out
/ policies, and TO prevent insured persons
who cease to have al1 Interest and owner
tship In property from continuing to hold
such policies.
So that the inquiry for the, inry is
whether Or not the mortgage OF September,
l18T6, operated to deprive the plaintiffs OF
their ownership in the insured property. SO
that, II it was burnt, their loss would be
to the extent OF the full value of the proper
4ty destroyed. II, therefore, a person who
is insolYent, and go much so rs to be hope
less Of reinstating his affairs, mortgages
his property and thereby ceases to have
any real interest in it rs owner, so that
bis loss, if it is burnt, would be merely
nominal; or il, after mortgaging, he makes
default, and q foreclosure and dfyestiture
of his title and beneficial interest ensues,
there is, in either case, such O change in
the ownership as renders the policy as to
Mma aoGger policy, and as defeats bis right
to recover in the event of fire.
: But il the mortgagor remains solvent and
thereby reInains the sole beneficial owner OF
the insured property, aud would sustain a
loss, in the event Of fire, to the full extent
fthe value Of the property destroyed, then
such mortgage does not work such a
change in the "title or possession" OF the
property insured rs to defeat the plaintiffs
action, if they are otherwise entitled to re-
cover. .g...
i In accordance with these views I have
modified the instructions for the jury, re
spectiyeiy asked for by counsel in the cause,
! and embodied them as follows: .gi
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE JURY.
I. If the plaintiffs were The entire, tin-
conditional. and sole owners of the prop
erty insured, for their own benefit, and had
undisputed possession Of it at the date of
the policy, then the fact that the record
title was in another person does not defeat
their right to recover in this action, unless
they concealed the condition OF the record
title from the defendant company and its
agents, and mised them bya contrary state
ment in their application for insurance, or
unless they sought to deceive and mislead
them in regard to the record-title and own
ershlp at the time Of the fire by false-swear-
| ing in their proof OF loss.
II. The execution, OF q mortgage by the
plaintiffs, after taking out the policy OF in
surance, did not defeat their right to re-
cover in this action, NntesS the mortgage,
by reason OF their insolvency or otherwise,
wrought such change in their ownership
or interest in the property that their loss at
any time before the tire would have been,
or at the time Of the fire was, less than the
full value Of the property destroyed.
Judge Meredith and Mr.. John A. Coke
represented the plaintiffs. Mcssrs. w. w.
Henry, 2. w. Mckinney, and J. P. Fitz-
gerald. represented the defendant company.
The jury yesterday, after short absence,
! brought in a verdict for the plaintiffs, with
damages at 1850 and interest.
