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. Ate you weak and weary, overworked and tired?

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.
