AFTER THE SLOT MACHINES.
MIR. Charles KoIshOrn Fined $500 in
the CITY Court.

Mr.. Charles Kolshorn. who is making
a test of the question of whether there
is any law against the operating of nick
el-in-the-slot machine, was found guilty
in the city court yesterday of keeping and
carrying on a scheme or device for the
hazarding of money, which comes under
the state law against lotteries, and was
fined $500 and costs or sentepced to spend
two months in jail.
The case was first argued on a demurrer
to the indictment by Mr.. w. r. Leaken
who represented the defendant, 1t being
held generally speaking that there is no
explicit law against the keeping and opera
ting of such machines. The court over
ruled the demurrer and the case went to
trial before the jury. During the progress
of the trial several of the machines were
exhibited to show how they worked and
incidentally the solicitor general dropped
a nickel in the slot and won fifteen cents,
but this did not induce him to nolle PROSE-
the indictment.
The defense will, of course. ask for
new trial, and in case it is denied will
appeal to the supreme court. as a test
of the law is being made. and about fif-
teen other owners of these machines are
interested. they being now under indict-
ment on the same charge.

TAKES CHILD INSURANCE.
FACTS DROUGHT OUT BY An AGENTS
SUIT FOR COMMISSIONS.

An EmpIOye Says His Company In
sures Persons From One Year Old
Up-HOv the Agents Work It-They
Say They Get Good Pay at the start,
But After Awhile, as a Rule, They
owe the Company MOney-The Jury
TO BE Charged This Morning.
An interesting suit was tried yesterday
In the superior court, the complaint being
that Of y. g. Brewer against the Metro
poHtan Life Insurance Company. who was
suing for Sg2 10 which he claimed 10 be
due as salary or commissions on the work
he had done for the company.
The suit was first brought in Justice
Naughtin's court. where a verdict for the
amount was rendered in Brewers favor.
The company appealed the case by Ger
tioraro on several grounds. one being
that Of jurisdiction, it being held that
Brewer was actually suing for
the sum of about sli2. as
he was seeking to recover under another
suit $50. which had been deposited as a
sort of bond with the company before he
began TO do business for it.
The company was represented by
Messrs. Erwin. duBlgnon & Chisholm,
Mr.. w. L. Clay appearing, and the plain
tiff by Messrs. G. T. q J. f. Cam. MT
J. +. Cam appearing II was brought out
during the hearing that this company
does quite a business in child Insurance
Assistant Superintendent Dewing who
was placed on the stand when questioned,
stated that the company issued policies
on lives of any persons from one year old
up. A child one year old can be in
sured for about $50 by the payment of 8
cents a week on the policy. 1t was
stated that the company has physician
examine the infants and all other parties
insured TO see that they are in a good
condition of health.
One of the most interesting features
was the manner in which the work of the
agent Is done. 1t was shown that each
agent has to sign quite an extensive con-
tract. For the first business he writes
the company pays him fifteen times as
much as the amount of the premiums col
lected, but ne is held responsible for all
lapses in the payment of the premiums
on the policies he secures, and he has TO
secure new business to cover such lapses,
or pay them himself out of his commits
sions, or II they are not sufficient, out
of the amount put up as a bond, which is
$50 in each case.
MIR. Brewer practically stated that he
saw after the first quarter how the thing
was going to work. and that he would
probably be paying the company money,
instead Of receiving commissions unless
he stopped. When he did so and asked for
his salary he stated it was refused him
because II was claimed il had all been
absorbed by lapses in the payment of the
premiums on the policies which he had
secured
Several other agents have taken
the same steps, so far as leay-
and some of them were placed
on the witness stand to substantiate some
of the claims made by the plaintiff. 1t
is understood that some of them are also
claiming back salary or commissions
and they will await the determination of
this case to see what course to pursue
At the conclusion of the hearing Judge
Falligant stated he would not charge the
jury until this morning

REV. c. II. sTRoNG's SERMON.
A Reiteration of the Views Expressed
in His Hook. ..In Pnrndise..

Rev Charles II. Strong's sermon I'm St
Johns church last Sunday night on the
Resurrection Of the Body" in which he
denied the resurrection Of the physical
body. has created considerable talk. more
perhaps outside of his own church and con-
gregation than among those TO whom his
views are known.
While Mr.. StrOng's sermon was on the
line Of that preached by DR.. Heber New
ton IN New York. the Sunday before il
differed with Il in thar DIT. Newton dwelt
upon the resurrection of Christ while
Mr. Strong made no reference 10 Christ
resurrection, but confined himself 10 the
resurrection OF man.
The subject is not by any means a new
one 10 Mr.. Strong. His sermon contained
nothing beyond what is in the chapter on
spiritual Bodies' In his work. In Par
adise." published two years ago. which
has PASSED the criticism Of nearly every
church review and authority in the coun-
try. and the orthodoxy Of the statements
in which has never been questioned.
The interest that has been aroused In
the subject, due first TO Dr. Newton's
sermon in New York. followed by Mr..
Strong's sermon, is such that IL is prOba-
bic Mr.. Strong Will BE- urged to preach up
on the subject again.
Many who have reao his work In Para
disc" and who heard his sermon, about
which so much has been said in the last
two days. agree that his argument Is un-
assailable and that the orthodoxy of his
statements is beyond question.
Mr.. Strong is already receiving letters,
inquTing N the sermon is to be published,
showing the interest that is taken in the
subject, and his views concerning 1t.
Mr.. Strong is firm in his belief that the
church cannot discipline DR.. Newton for
the position he has taken, and the utter
ance Of his views concerning the resur-
rection. His own views. he said are en-
tirely in consonance with the doctrine Of
the church. There is nothing unorthodox
about them. The faith of the church rests
upon the Apostles creed The resurrec-
tion of the body, referred to in the creed
is the spiritual body. Whatever diver
sity Of opinion may exist concerning this
matter IL is merely matter of opinion or
belief and in DR.. Newtons case no bishop
nor diocese has the right to question his
orthodoxy, because of the stand he has
taken. and the utterances attributed to
him.
Rev Mr.. Strong's sermon has been
brought to the attention of Bishop Mel
son. who has stated that from the evil
dence before him, he could not impugn its
orthodoxy.

last night TO a large audience, and as the
result of the two nights performances
quite a large addition has been made to
the Savannah hospitals fund. The Home
Opera Company was again at its best and
everyone of the players brought out all
there was in the part represented. The ag
gregatiOn of talent though almost entirely
local. was strong, and the performance
was as creditable as has been put on the
stage by some of the best professional
companies.

THE OLD WATER WORKS.
The Machinery to lie Put in Order
and offered for Sale.


The committee of the whole of the city
council reported a resolution yesterday
authorizing the committee on water to ad-
vertise for bids for the machinery at the
old water works. The bids are to be re-
ferred to council. The resolution was
adopted and Alderman Watson introduced
a resolution, authorizing the committee on
water to eXpend a sum not to exceed ST.
600 in placing the machinery at the old
works in first-clasS condition, which was
also adopted
Alderman Gleason offered a resolution
to the effect that, owing to the unsightly
and unsanitary condition of the sheds on
Bay and Abercorn and Bay and Lincoln
streets, the committee on streets and
lanes be authorized to have said sheds re-
moved"
The resolution was adopted without dis
cussion. At a meeting of council held June
20 1883, the committee of the whole re-
ported favorably upon a petition of bust
erect sheds at the point named for the
purpose of sheltering their horses during
the day. The sheds have proved a great
convenience for this purpose and no doubt
there will be a kick against their removal.
The council reserved the right, however,
order them removed on twenty-four hours
notice.
BY resolution proposed by Alderman
Screven Chief of Police McDermott was
granted permission to attend the national
police convention to be held in Washing
ton, d. c., beginning May II, the actual

ton of $50 made for the expenses of has

RumOred Resignation of Supt.

RumOred Resignation of Supt.
SwOOpe and His Force.
A report is current that Supt. b. r.
Swoope of the South Florida division of
the Plant system, with his trainmastcr.
clerks and other employees connected di-
rectly with his office, will resign ana
go to some western railroad. An effort
was made yesterday to secure some con-
firmation or denial of the statement.
supt. Durham of the Plant system was
out Of the city and nothing definite could
be learned.
Supt. Swoope is understood to be in
quite good circumstances, and it is said
he is not altogether pleased with the way
In which his wings have been clipped, so
to speak. With the appointment of gem
a general change in the superintendent
of division, considerable of the territory
formerly under him was taken away.
Taking effect to-day the division of the
will be heightened so as to extend as far
east as Waycross instead of to Dupont.
He has charge of the Alabama Midland,
and with that road the Savannah, FloTf-
da and Western to Dupont was also
placed under him, while the Savannah,
Florida and Western between Savannah
and Jacksonville and between Waycross
and Dupont, besides the Brunswick and
Western, was placed in charge of Supt
George w. Haines. The part of Supt
Dupont has been placed under Supt Par
ker. This action was taken more for con-
venience than anything else, as Way
cross is the headquarters for the engines
and crews, and it will be an easier mat
ter for a superintendent to operate the
line to a. division point.
