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.

An ftulliinoimllt Baptist Preacher Create* » SenMUuO. 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. The Meyers Will Case.
