The first german of the season was given at the residence of Mr. J. W. Pease last night. Quite a number of young people attended,and it is useless to say that all had a most delightful time.

The festival was a great sue Jess throughout, and the managers are highly grati fied. ltolfUMHl From Custody. Mr. James Dudley, the young* man who was arrested at Abbeville, Ala., charged with horse stealing, has been released lYom custody. The evidence of the fact that he is sutycct to fits of Insanity was so unquestionable that the officers decided that it was best not to hold him for trial. Mr. Dudley is a Russell county young man, and Ib well known In this city. The Services at St. Luke. The revival services at St. Luke church were well attended last night and much interest was manifested. Rev. G. G. N. MacDonnell, the pastor, preached an able sermon, to which the congregation listened with profound interest. The meetings will be continued every night this week, and the public is cordially invited to at tend. ON THK STRFKTN AO A IN. The Cotton Men Begin to Buy the Fleecy Staple on the Wagons. It will be remembered that last fall the ware housemen met and determined to buy no more cotton on the streets. They claimed, and no doubt justly so, that it costs them too much money. Their action, however, was very much opposed by the merchants and the farmers, and the merchants claim that Columbus lost cotton and trade by it. Yesterday, however, the old order of things was renewed, and several cotton buyers were at work on the streets. It looked like old times, and competition was lively. One of the ware houses first put a man on the streets, and others followed suit in self-de'ense. The merchants are delighted at the return of the old custom. One of them said to an Enquirer-Sun reporter yesterday afternoon: "I think it is the best thing that could have happened for Columbus. It may be true that the warehousemen will not make as much money, but the merchants will make a great deal more. It is Hie cotton that is brought in on wagons that brings us our retail trade, and everything that tends to lessen the receipts by wagons strikes a blow at the retail business of the town. I hope this street buying will be continued throughout the season. I believe it will add largely to our receipts of cotton by wagons and to our trade. I want you to print it in big letters that cotton will hereafter be bought on the streets of Colum bus.” A leading warehouseman said yesterday even ing: “I am not in favor of street buying, but, of ] formed by Rev. Mr. Bullock, of Chipley, in his course, if one warehouse starts it we will all have j usual impressive manner. After the marriage to fall into line. It causes a ruinous competition, the bridal party repaired to Ml. Olive church, Some reckless buyers pay as much or more for I where there were many anxious friends awaiting cotton than we can get for it. Then the loss falls ' them. Both have many friends who wish them on the warehousemen. As for myself, I would ! happiness in their new life, prefer to do a legitimate warehouse business, even if I received a few bales less of cotton.” There is no doubt that street buying will be a j feature of the Columbus market this season. It ! may hurt the warehousemen, but the general ! WmitiMl impression i° that it will greatly improve busi- D .. .... .* • By a family with one child eight years old, two furnished rooms in a private family, with or DOTS FROM DON.

The case >vus brought up before Judge Wootten, and Cavaleri paid the claim in time to take the train and went on his way rejoicing. The Birmingham Extension. A correspondent writing from Birmingham says: ‘‘A gentleman direct from Savannah said, ‘I have an intimate friend in the employ of the Central railroad of Georgia who heard Mr. Raoul, the president of the company, say there was no question but that the Central road will come to Birmingham from Goodwater; that the contracts of the road will be signed before the annual electiou, which does not occur until Jan uary, and the action of the board of directors will not affect them.

The company, without an exception, is really good. The comedy went from beginning to end without a dash, each one of the performers playing with a good deal o? spirit. The songs and dances are entirely new, and each one was encored, and some received a triple (fall. The Aunt Bridget of Monroe, and the McVeigh by Rice, were both clever impersonations. Mr. Rice's dancing with Miss Katie Hart, who took the character of Polly, was unique and excellent. Miss Hart is an accomplished dancer. Miss Chester lias a very sweet voice. In fact, the whole company is good, and it is needless to par ticularize. There is not an objectionable feature in the play, while at the same time it is brim ftill of amusing incidents. Those who attend the mati nee to-day and the performance at night will have a real treat. V Card of Thanks.

The policy became a claim last spring and appears in the list of June 18. The face of the policy was for $1000, and the additions amounted to $407, or only $35.20 less than the total amount of premiums which had been paid dn the policy. Insurance for sixteen years, and $1000 to the estate of the insured, cost therefore $2.20 per year. In January, 1886, Dr. George W. Blake, of lowei Salem, Washington county, O., took out policy No. 259,230 in this company for $1000, paying one annual premium of $31.80. On June 10, 1885, he died. In August the company paid his wife $1002. Within eight months (Vom the time the poliey was issued, Mrs. Blake had received from the company $1002, which had cost her husband $31.80. Joseph B. Barnes, a former of Northampton county, N. 0., had paid but one premium of $57.99 on his policy of $1500. At the time of his death last week, his heirs received $1503, as the (Vuita of this small investment. In 1861, John H. Young, of Beverly, Massachu setts, insured his life in this company for $2000. He allowed his dividends to accumulate, and laBt week Ills widow received $3558 ns the result of his loving foresight. Dr. George P. Barnes, of Bristol, R. I., secured a policy in this company for $3000, on the five- year distribution plan, July 1, 1385. On the third day of last October he was stricken by heart dis ease, and died as though he had been shot. This hnppened in Dresden, Germany, while lie was on Ids wedding trip; and last week the full amount of the claim, on which but one premium had been paid, was handed to the young wife and widow. In this week's list of paid claims appears the name of George N. Walker, a prominent citizen of Peoria, 111. In 1848 Mr. Walker took a $3000 ordinaay life policy in this Company. It cost him $75 a year, and he kept it paid up until the day of his death. The accumulated dividends nearly equal the face value of the policy and the total claim $mid'to Mrs. Walker is $5727. D.
