At the meeting of the city council
Monday evening at which Mayor
Grubbs and Aldermen Bailey, Wishon,
and Wilmans were all present, the
fixing of the amount of license to be
required of saloons, in the event that
they are reinstated, was introduced
by Alderman Wilmans, in a resolu
tion naming tbe amount of .$2,500 for
ihe year 1903, payable quarterly in
advance, which was unanimously
adopted. This is the same license
required in 1900, only the payments
which have heretofore been made
send-annually now come quarterly.
Alderman B a ley introduced a reso
lution that was carried by a full vote
fixing the license for each pool, pig
eon-hole and billiard table at $25 per
annum and $5.00 per annum for each
additional table. The former ordinance
required a license of $10 for each addit
ional table.
Upon motion of Bailey, seconded by
Wilmans, the sum of $100 was allowed
to the fire department to be prorated
equally among the active members,
and the pay of the department for
January and February was fixed at
$50 for each month in addition to the
present sum now allowed of $25, mab
iug a total of $75, for each of said
mouths.
Upon motion of Bailey a resolution
was adopted ordering the cancellation
and destruction of four warrnts, made
payable to tbe Newport Water Com
pany for hydrant rental from January
15th 1900 to July 16th 1902, which had
been forwarded by the city treasurer
to the Farmers Loan & Trust Com
pany of New York City and by said
company refused and returned, ag
gregating $5,579.45.
In the preseuce of T. T. Ward, Jno.
H'. Keel and J. A. Baird, scrip
was cancelled and destroyed to the
value of $5,933.94.
The minutes of the last meeting
were approved and the bills approved

SLOT MACHINE
DECLARED ILLEGAL.
In the case of the Garland Novelty
Company vs. The State, on appeal
from the Garland circuit court, Mr.
Justice Riddick, in the supreme
court Saturday decided a case which
will be of interest to a large conting
ent of those owning and operating slot
machines.
It seems that this company owned
some fifteen or twenty money slot
machines operated in the hotels and
saloons of Hot Springs. The judge
of the circuit court issued a war
rant to the sheriff to seize one of
these machines and to publicly de
stroy the same if it w'as found to be a
gambling machine.
The court permitted the owner of
the machine to be heard and a trial
was had, when it was proven that the
machine was a gambling device, pure
and simple, and could be used for no
other purposes, whereupon the court
ordered the machine to be publicly
burned. The Garland Novelty Com
pany appealed to the supreme court,
on the ground that the warrant waB il
legally issued by the court and that the
order of the court to burn the machine
was contrary to law, and was confis
cation of the same without due pro
cess of law ; and that the statutory law
authorizing the same was unconstitu
tional.
Justice Riddick held that all of the
proceedings of the lower court were
proper and legal iti every respect, and
affirmed the decision.

mise Verdict In Suit of Union
Compress Company Against
Iron Mountain Railroad.
Tbe trial of the suit of the Union
Compress Company against the Iron
Mountain Railroad, in which the real
plaintiffs are the insurance companies,
which carried the risks upon the
former property, was concluded Sat
urday in the special term of court
presided over by Judge F. D. Fulker

The case was one of eight, three of
which have been tried, involving the
loss sustained by the Union Compress
Company in a Are at Newport which

days. The amount sued for in this
instance was *31,000, and at 9:30 p. m.

plaintiff, and the third is a compro
mise. The plaintiff was represented
