HOW HE STOPPED THE BOY.
4 Merchants Kind Treatment of a
Clerk Who GambIed.

Il do not pose as any brilliant example
or embodiment of morality" remarked
Broughton street merchant yesterday, as
the conversation turned upon gambling
and the crusade the ministers of the city
have instituted against it. but 1 believe
it should be stopped I hope the agita-
ton will be continued until it is thing
of the past"
The merchant spoke as IL he meant what
he said. He has watched the results that
follow indulgence in the fascinating and
insidious games of chance that are run
openly where he who runs may play, and
IL is his belief that 1t is time they were
brought up short with an abrupt termina-
ton of their career in Savannah. In
stances are common, he says. wherein il
IS made clear enough that young fellows
and old ones, for that matter are being
ruined by the hold the craze has gained
upon them.
1T was only few days ago." the mer-
chant continued, that a Broughton street
business man told me a story of young
chap in his employ. The merchant dis
covered that the boy had been playing
keno in one of the joints, and called him
up about it,
THE young fellow has a pretty good
job-makes $50 a month. The merchant
reminded him OF that ana Cold MIN ne
could not afford to throw himself away by
patronizing such places as the keno joints
AT all events, the merchant told him, he
could moi keep it up and expect to work
for him
Then the youngster wilted. He broke
down completely, telling how he had
started the thing and got in debt through
his losses. He said he had accumulated
a nice batch of accounts, more than he
could expect to pay out of his salary with
out being pushed to death by his creditors.
He had felt that he was obliged TO keep
up his play until he made strike, when
he honestly intended to quit.
THE merchant told him that was all
right enough, but that there was but lit
tie chance of his pulling out of the hole
in that way and the best thing he could
do was to stop short off. The young fell
low said he would be glad enough to do
IL, but that he did not see how he could
manage with his creditors The merchant
said he would undertake 20 manage that
for him on one condition, that he would
promise him faithfully that he would never
gamble any more. The boy promised all
right, and the merchant then went over
his pressing debts with him, loaned him
$120 90 be taken out of his salary at the
rate of $40 a month, and called the thing
off"
The merchant went on to say that the
instance was but one of many he might
recite to show the effect the gambling
places have. He believes they are a me.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET.
Contracts for Supplies Awarded to
the Successful Bidders.

The September meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners was held at the
court house yesterday afternoon, Vice
Chairman Lathrop presiding. Commission
ers Simkins and Lyons were the only other
commissioners present. The attention of
the board was devoted to the consideration
of bids for furnishing supplies to the varl-
Gus county institutions during the ensu-
ing three months.
Contracts for these supplies were award
ed as follows: James E. Grady & Son. gro
ceries; F. A. Schwarz, bread; Fl. Logan,
fresh beef; Domestic Coal and Wood Com
pany, oak and pine wood; D. r Thomas
& Son, coal, and l.. Adler, Shoes The
clerk of the board was instructed to ad-
vertise for bids for supplying the chain
gang and jail prisoners with the usual
quantities of red hannels and blankets.
A communication was read from Mrs.
Carrie Thorpe, in which she stated that IN
building the new Casey canal the engineer
of the county had appropriated to the pub
lie use sixteen lots in Jonesville, in the
lower part of Carruthers' swamp. These
lots belonged TO Mrs, Thorpe, and she adj
vised the commissioners in her letter that
she was willing to settle on a basis of S25
for each, or $500 for the bunch She rec
commended the acceptance of this propo-
sitiou. saying that it was made for the
purpose of avoiding unnecessary and pos
sibly expensive litigation.
The commissioners could not be brought
to this view of the matter, and appeared
to be rather more willing to face the
prospect of a lawsuit than 10 come across
with the amount of money that Mrs
Thorpe, according to her letter, thinks
ought to be paid for the lots Their idea,
apparently, was that the land was worth
about $40 an acre, and that, as about two
acres had been used in constructing the
canal the county was indebted to Mrs.
Thorpe something in the neighborhood OF
$50 The letter and request were referred
to the county attorney for investigation

THE LIMIT OF THE LAW.
Imposed by Mayor Myers Upon Willie
Key, a LicentiOus Negro.

Key, n LicentiOus Negro.
AT yesterdays session of the Police Court
William Key, colored, was sentenced by
Mayor Myers to thirty days on the chain
gang. The charge against the negro was
disorderly conduct and exposing his per-
son in the Park extension, but his actual
offense was of a character much more Sc
rious.
The police have been for a day or two
on the lookout for Key, because of a
charge registered at the barracks by the
father of young woman living in the Vi
cinity of Drayton and Waldburg streets.
He reported to the superintendent that
Key had several times accosted his daugh-
ter and that she had been the enforced
listener to unspeakable and unprintable
insults on the part of the negro. The
outrages were said to have been commit
ted in the park. and were not only vile,
but were several times repeated. The
father furnished the police a description
of his daughters would-be assailant,
through which the latter's arrest was fin
ally effected.
Parolman Sandiford encountered Key at
the corner of Drayton and Waldburs
streets yesterday morning and sent him
in to the station house He was afterward
positively identified as the man for whom
the police had been searching, and, as the
Police Court was still in session. he was
sent into the court room and arraigned
before the Mayor.
The evidence against the negro was suf-
ficiently convincing to warrant the Mayor
in imposing the heaviest sentence that
the law allows the Police Court, thirty
days on the chain-gang. 1t was a mat
ter of regret to the Mayor and to the
other officers of the court that Keys ac-
tons had not justified his being remanded
to a higher court. where punishment ade-
quate to his evident intention could be
inflicted on him, He received. instead a
warning to shake the dust of Savannah
from his feet as soon as he had completed
his term and not to enter the city again.

Promises a More Uniform InpectiOn
of the OIL Sold in the state.
The recent meeting of the oil inspect ors

demonstration to them by The state chem
list, DIR. McCandless, of the method to be
employed in using the new instrument for
testing the safety of oils, convinced most
of thcm Of the superiority of the new, over
the Old test.
The local inspector, Col. John Screven,
gives 1t as his opinion that the chief BEN

the new instrument is that 1t reduces TO a
minimum the value of the personal equa-

the method in which his test should be
made and a result determined.
The point of danger, with the new in
strument, is taken to be that degree of
temperature at which the oil gives off ali
igneous gas. A certain degree of temper
allure is fixed as a standard, and If the
oil may be heated to this temperature
without flashing" as it is termed, it
passes the inspection; if it flashes before
this degree of temperature is attained, it
is rejected. The test is almost as simple
and easy in practice as it is in theory
1t is said that some of the oil that has
heretofore been offered for sale in the
state will not pass the new test. This,
of course, 1t must be made to do, or
shipped out of the state or destroyed The
oil men say they are crossing no bridges
