The police at once spot¬ ted a well-known mulatto boy who lives here, but who has been trivet- ling around pretty extensively lately and have kept him under surveillance until yesterdaymorningwhen Shack¬ elford arrived from Birmingham. The police then proceeded to arrest the suspected party .Charlie Simmons, and carried him to police headquar¬ ters, where he was recognised by the deteetivS as being one of the parties wanted, and he left with him at once for Harlem, via, Macon, When ar¬ rested his manner and countenance showed every evidence of guilt.

Detective Shackelford says the evidence is conclusive against him and that he will be convicted of the crime. • Mr. Shackelford also says that onr much maligned friend, Will E.

So Report Says—Major Branch (lot the Balk of tke Money. It is reported that $30,000 is the figure at which the celebrated case of Langdon et al vs. T- P. Branch, o* Augusta, was compromised and set' tied yesterday. It is not known defi¬ nitely if these are the figures, and the terms of settlement do not appear in the order dismissing the case from court, but parties m position to know something about the matter, say that the settlement of the $100,000 that Judge Speer ordered Major Brandi to pay into court, was pend¬ ing a tew days ago on the basis of $80,000. It is understood that the original $100,000paid to Major Branch by the Central railroad through General Al¬ exander, was divided among several parties, but Major Branch received the bulk of the amount.

It has been published in some of the papers this week that- theCoving- ton and Macon had been sold to the Northeastern railroad, and oh ac¬ count of this fact,presumably, the work of surveying and budding the Covington and Macon extension from Machen to Griffin or McDonough had been stopped. Those in position to know say that there is nothing in the report of the sale, hnd the suspension of the running of the Machen-Griffin branch has no significance whatever. A Royal Time.

THE TIME FOR BUILDING THE LONG TALKED OF HOTEL! B. K. Blakely Believe# It Has-Any- how, tbs Old Georgia Has Com¬ menced to Come Down. On yesterday, if a Work wril begfun is half done, there was inaugurated .for Griffin a bigger thing than tlie ex¬ periment farm, than.a new railroad or than the on mills recently placed upon a substantial foundation. The rickety old verandas arbupd the ugly old Georgia Hotel were pull¬ ed down. That is all. But it is the beginning of the end. The end of the old era of doing nothing and trusting to somebody doing something for yon; of sitting idly down and waiting for business and prosperity to come unbidden. The end of a good many old build¬ ings that must come down before Griffin can enter into the glorious heritage to which her many advanta¬ ges entitle her, and which her inevita- bledestiny will sure!v bring her. The beginning of a new era of prog¬ ress and development and growth in every direction, of which the nucleus has been slowly forming, but which must have a modem hotel at its head to bring outside help and wealth and influence. The old hotel will be tom down and a new and modem one put up in its place. It will.not bedone in a day,though it will be soon. For the present only the verandas are to be removed, in order to make the sidewalks safe and passable. The owners of the. property are B. B. Blakely, John I. Hall and B. S. Connell—three progressive citizens. Mr. Blakely says he believes thetime has come to build a good hotel—one with a hundred rooms will do for the present. There is every natural and commercial advantage to make such a building pay, and it will pay. With the town awakened to its actual po¬ sition, on the topmost wave that is lifting it into prominence and power, now is the time to take advantage of its activity. In another and perhaps an apter figure, strike while the iron is hot, and rest afterwards. He be¬ lieves that subscriptions can readily be raised to tbe amount of $20,000 or $25,000, and that somebody can be found who will put in os much more and run the house. But no definite plan has been formulated, and the proprietors of tbe property are not wedded to any particular plan. But they bought the property to put into a hotel, and they are just the kind of men to carry out what they undertake, with the able back¬ ing of Griffin’s other liberal and pub¬ lic spirited citizens. Let tbe hotel be built!
