THEY ARE GAMBLING DEVICES.
Judge Glasgow Rules on Nickel In the
slot Machines.

Nickel I'm the slot machines. small boys,
an unusually large 'bunch" OF legal talent
and stacks OF authorities were the order oc
the day yesterday IN Judge Glasgow's
court All this trouble came about on
demurrer TO the complaint, and almost the
entire day was consumed IN arguing the
matter.
The attorneys for tho defendants held
strongly that the statutes contain no pro-
vision against nickel In the slot machines, n
which money is played for wares or mer-
chandise. Section lao OF the penal code
provides hat each and every person who
shall deal, play or carry on or open or
cause 20 be opened. or who shall conduct
either as owner. proprietor. employe,
whether for hire or not, any game or faro
monte. roulette. rouge-et-no.r, lansquenette.
rondo. vingt-et-une, poker, draw poker. brag.
bluff. thaw, tan, or any banking or other
game. played with cards, dice or other de-
vice. shall be guilty OF a misdemeanor.
City Attorney De Bluler held that the
meaning OF the words. ANY other device"
included the nickel machines. Judge Glas-
gov evidently thought the same. for no
overruled the demurrer and set all the
cases down for trial for next Wednesday.

T'here were no Acconnts to settle.

w. j. Larlxin, who has figured in the
American Exchange hotel troubles for
several months past, was knocked out
again yesterday In Judge Langley's court
Larkin sued John Iangston for an ac-
counting and dissolution OF partnership.
and $1,000 damages for injury 10 his busi-
ness by breaking a contract The files in
the county clerks office showed that In
previous action brought by Langsfon
against Lsarkin jury had found that
Langston was entitled 20 recover possess
sion OF the American Exchange hotel, and
that Judge Osborn had practically dis
solved the partnership. In passing on the
case under consideration Judge Langley
said that no could not find any accounts
to settle and that the partnership had been
dissolved. Therefore he dismissed the
complaint for want OF equity.

10 crops. A ngnv FROST is reported In low
lands from all sections Of the state, but
veyy little damage was done. Crops are
rpening well, and harvesting Is being
carried on vigorously. Potatoes are rot.
ting to considerable extent. Corn Is max.
ing good growth, but is reported later
than usual; the cool nights check It's
growth. The weather has been favorable
for seeding down, and much has been done.
Apples are small and scarce in all the I, y
lands, due to tho cold weather I'm the
spring Beans are ripening fast and are
in good condition. Fodder corn and Hun
garian grass are growing finely.
Harvesting Begun.
Considerable cloudy, showery weather
prevailed In Vermont last week, and in
Lamoile county IL has been injurious to
the potatoes especially. II has been q
better week for the growth Of crops than
for harvesting In this state, but grain is
now mostly cpt, and corn and potato haS.
vesting has besdn to 4 fimlted erteht.
Beans and India wheat are being put in,
also, and are IN good condition. Grapes
arc beginning TO turn. Corn needs few
more days Of warm sunshine In most
places. Meadows are looking we'll, and
pastures are pronounced in good oondl-
ton for the season Of the year. One cor
respondent in Addison county states that
that section never had better season for
all kinds of crops.
Pastures Doing Well
Two good showers have fallen over
most Of Massachusetts,, giving rain for all
crops. bat not enough to fill up wells and
springs TO an appreciable amount Mead
ows and pastures show the effects 81 the
warm weather and rains, and are unusu-
ally green and good. There are local ac-
counts Of potato decay, but 10 Is not
serious, and reports indicate that 10 is not
ipcreasing. Tobacco Is housed and Is said
to be curing well. Peaches and grapes
are ripening fast Cutting Of the second
crop Of hay Is under way, and silos are be-
Ing filled. Tomatoes require more gun
shine. The season which has been SO IA
vorable for most crops has not been Of ad-
vantage to apples, and now the fruit is
dropping of badly. Cranberries are color
ing slowly, and picking has begun or will
be begun this week on most bogs.
Ground Very Dry.
In northwestern Connections only mod
crate ruins have fallen, and the ground
was In such q dry state that much more IL
needed for pastures and for the best ad-
vancement Of crops. but In central and
eastern districts sufficient has come for
everything, and vegetation Is fresh and
crops are ripening nicely. Apples are
dropping badly. but In many orchards In
southwestern Connecticut tho trees are
loaded with both fall and winter fruit.
Corn looks we'll and Is maturing fast.
Cutting has begun In o few places. The
potato disease seems 10 have bcon checked
TO considerable extent, but the digging is
going on In most sections. Tobacco IL
nearly oil cut, and In fine condition, and
tho weather 10 pronounced very favorable
for curing H. Onion pulling Is we'll
along. and In many fields most OF the
-ron "a now under oovcr.
