$30,000 THE SUM.,
MAJOR BRANCH TELLS WHAT
BECAME OF THE $160,000.
Alfred Sully Gets a share of tne Pud¬
ding-Creditors of the Defunct
Road Fare Wei'.
The News aNd Sun stated last week
that an order had been taken in the
United States court at Macon, dis¬
missing the celebrated case of Lang-
donetal. vs. Maj. Branch, of Augusta,
as the parties interested had settled
the $100,000 case by compromise.
The Savannah Times says: ~—
“Maj. Branch, who has Been kept
out of Georgia for three months by
Judge Speer and Messrs. Charlton &
Mackall, can come back. He has
settled with his creditors and the
money is in bank here in Savannah,
subject to order of Messrs. Charlton
& Mackall. The Major paid over
$30,000 and the prosecution against
himis at an end.”
Mujor Branch was sued for $100,-
000, but he made a statement in
which ne showed that of the sum
Alexander,
are. He
had to divide with others, he de¬
clares. Alfred Sully, who was presi¬
dent of the Richmond Terminal
when the Central bought the Savan¬
nah, Dublin & Western bonds and* a
part of the stock, got $33,000,
Branch says. Simmons, a New York
contractor, who was originally .with
the United States Construction Com¬
pany, received about $20,000. Some
one eise got $12,000 and the rest
was distributed among different
pai ties, the Major shows. The char¬
ter members of the Short Line com¬
pany held 800 shares of stock and
when they saw Maj. Branch make
his deal they renewed their efforts to
make something and succeeded in
selling out for $80,000, which gave
about $15,000 apiece to them.
Out of the $30,000 recovered from
Major Branch the costs of the litiga¬
tion must be paid,and theyare heavy.
What is left goes to Richard Lang-
don, of Philadelphia, and whoever
was associated with him in advanc¬
ing the $22,000 which the United
States Construction Company had
as backing or working capital. The
Construction Company held the Short-
Line’s bonds as security for work
which was to be done. The next
move will probabiy be a suit against
Alfred Sully, Simmons and tbe others
who shared the $100,000 with Maj¬
or Branch, and as tbs case against
him was agood one, the others may
have to refund.
On thewirojg tbe creditors oi the
defunct road have fared well.. In ths
first place Carpenter, Grant, Munday
A Co. obtained $45,000, then the
engineers and laborers received $10,-
000 and now $30,000more has been
paid over. And besides this the char-
thr members drew $80,000.

A COLORED ACTOR.
He Collects Monev tor a Show and
Skips Ont.
Woodbury, Ga., June 12.—[Spec¬
ial]—At 10:15 Monday morning a
“colored knight” stepped from the
down freight and went at once up
town where he met up with some of
his brethren, and told them that
he wanted to give a show at
their Church and would give half tbe
proceeds to toe church. Of course
this seemed to be a fair proposition
and some of the leading members
quit their work and went at once to
advertise the great Night
came up, opened the door and acted
as doorkeeper himself. It took only
a few minutes to fill the house and
while they were beihg seated, he, (the
Booth of his color,) went into a pine
thicket near the church to get his
valise where he had left itand wasn’t
seen nor heard of any more till next
morning about 3 o’clock he was
found fast asleep on a goods box at
Raleigh, about 4 miles west of here,
On being aroused he soon discovered
that he wasn’t on the stage that
was prepared for him at the church
but a part of the audience were still
waiting on him to say something.
He commenced crying and said he
had no money, didn’t know any one
and couldn’t get any work to do so
he planned this way to make a rise.
He made a very good rise here, but I
think they raised him at Raleigh.
They took all the money he had, his
valise and won’tsay what else they
did. We think he will hardly adver¬
tise to show again at Woodbury.
THE .ESTHETIC DRUMMER.
The Way He Orders His Dinner and
What. He Gets Sometimes.
“Some of the drummers are very
eesthetic, ortheytrytobe,’’remarked
Marshall House. “They overdo
matters, though, occasionally,” he
added.. “I happen to recall two in¬
cidents, occurring recently, that im¬
pressed me with their failures. The
other day at Albany, Ga., one of
them got a day off. He had put on
a snit of the latest pattern. As a
consequence be attracted attention
aronnd the hotel. He was the cyn¬
osure of all in the dining room, and
he thought to do something extra in
ordering his dinner. The bill of fare
was a little out of the regular order
and it was not as easy a matter to
order from it as those at other hotels,
unless one knew wbat he wanted.
Soup came first, of course, There
were more than a half dozen kinds.
The drummer ordered the first kind
and the waiter stood waiting for
the order for dinner. The drummer
was paying at the rate of $10 per
day and he decided to have a good
dinner, so he took the bill of fare
dish by dish down the list. Little
attention was paid to what h£ order¬
ed until the waiter returned with five
plates of soup and set them out on
the table -in front of the aesthetic
young fellow. The people at the
table began to snicker and tbe wait¬
ers bfegan to grin and bite their fin-
g$rs. ' Attention centered the
was on
where the drummer sat, and
somebody w(io was ‘agin drummers
anyhow,’ squeaked out, ‘Throw him
in the soup.’ A few minutes later
the eesthetic young man shambled
ont of' the dining hall as red
as a beet in the face. When the
hour for supper came he decided to
tone down and called for sweet po¬
tatoes and rice.
“A day or two ago a Savannah
drummer saw Boston woodcock on
the bill of fare and he asked the
waiter was it fresh. Upon Ming
told that it was as fresh as the hotel
could procure it, he said a dish of it
fried would do him.
“ ‘Can’t fry him, boss,’ the waiter
said, ‘dey’s alters boiled.’
Well, boil him,’ the drummer
said. . , , t , „ -u
“In a few minutes the waiter came
snickering in with a small dish of
pork and beans. Tbe drummer ate
the Boston HH dish and told .JM|___ tbe waiter
that he was ready for Cincinnati the woodcock.
