Atlanta, Dec. 20. —[Special.]— The
authorities of the state insane asylum at
Milledgeville are charged with grave
performances, and should an investiga¬
tion follow some startling revelations
are promised.
John D. Gilbert, a member of one of
the liest families of Georgia, whose sole
crime was a fondness four liquor, .wrote
to President Cleveland a heart-rending
letter stating that he, a sane man, wa*
kept immured in a madhouse against his
will and with no hope of escape. The
president referred the matter to the
governor, and after passing through
various hands the appeal was lost. So
is jong claimed has the the poor prison man been authorities kept that dare it
not let him go free for fear he will sue
for false imprisonment.
Mr. Gilbert has written a long letter of
the case, which fell into the hands of a
young Atlanta attorney. It lias created
a great sensation here. He says:
been “My incarcerated trouble is that in this 1 am institution and have in
violation of the laws of this state for
more than four years, and all hope of re¬
lease has departed from me, unless kind

H. D. for a writ of

tition, and T. O. came to me
himself in person, and informed me of
the fact, but refused to let me have it.
He sent an attendant for me who grab

spirits and was sent immediately here
again without a trial. After my arrival
here I was kept closely c ntiiied for sev¬
en months. After the expiration of that
time I was allowed more freedom.
In October, 1885, I appealved to Gov.
McDaniel again, and failing to get an
answer, I wrote to President
Cleveland for mercy. The president and

ItlptANAPOUB, lnd.. Dec. 20.—tjultea
sens ation has been created hero by a ser¬
mon preached Sunday by Dr. Jeffrey, for
many years the. pastor of the First Bap¬
tist church, explaining hi* belief in re¬
gard to the resurrection ana eternal life,
ami themlu-h discussed question whether
the soul aud spirit are separate integers
of a mans inner life. The apparent in¬
ference to be drawn from his argument
is that there is no hell, but that the un¬
regenerated man dies as the animal dies,
and the grave is annihilation for body
and soul. The regenerate man, on the
other hand has a spiritual body, which,
on freeing itself from the physical body,
goes straight to the bosom of the father,
with no probationary period or waiting
for a general judgment dav. I)r. Jef¬
frey’s Baptist remarks were unorthodox. The
faith accepts a hell without res¬
ervation. 8mu6 future action may be
taken in regard to the sermon. The con¬
school, gregation is of an old-fashioned orthodox
and will permit no innovations.
