Yesterday might we'll be called can
old scorcher." IL was by far the hottest
day of the summer yet experienced, and
il is doubtful whether a hotter one will
occur. The government thermometer
at the Normal registered about $50, while
private thermometers went several de-
grees higher. The hot wind, which had
blown continuously since Friday morn
ing, only added to the discomfort, as no
GOODNESS could be extracted from it.
Last night a cooling shower occurred
and there is still some enjoyment left in
life to-day. The wind has dried up the
crops and all vegetation to Il remarkable
extent, and some places more damage
has been done than rain can Undo.

RAIL AND CROSSTIE.

The committee of business men having
in charge the matter of subscription to the
Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
railroad, will meet this afternoon at 4 80
O'Clock at the board of trade rooms, to con-
slider the reply Of President Hawkins to the
committees proposition, submitted April 8.
President Williamson of the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus railroad, has sub
mitted proposition to the president and
directors of the Savannah, Griffin and
North Alabama railroad for lease of the
Savannah and Griffin road, extending from
Carrollton to Griffin, and to pay for it per
annum the annual interest upon its out
standing bonds and per cent. upon its
stock. In the event Of the lease being made,
Pre.ident Williamson guarantees that the
Macon and Covington railroad shall be
built and in operation From Monticello to
Griffin within six months from thesdate Of
the lease.
The New York Commercial Bulletin says
of the Central's sale of $780, :
900 of Savannah and Western
consolidated mortgage bonds. that it is un-
derstood that the chief object in the issue
is TO reimburse the Central for sums ad-
vanced for the construction of various
branch lines The purpose Of the issue is
the same as that the management had in
mind in September and October last, when
negotiations we're in progress with Messrs
Drexel, Morgan g. Co, but the bonds are
themselves very different. When the latter
negotiations we're in progress IL was gener-
ally understood that the S., ,OOO,OJO or bonds
we're to be applied as follows: For floating
debt, 81 ,OOO, 900: for the construction OF the
Goodwater extension, s., 900 900; for sddi-
tioual capital in the bank, $500, 900, and for
guarantee under the lease Of the Georgia
railroad $500, 00O Tho original plan for
the Savannah and Western railroad was
for line 10 run from Savannah to Amen-
Gus, the Ainoricus and Busna Vista road to
be used 10 Bueua Vista, and new road TO
be built from the latter point to Columbus.
AS TO the plans now uuder consideration
and the uses it is proposed to make Of the
proceeds Of the IS, 5O0, 900 bonds, particulars
are refused by insiders.

MAI. BRANCH STILL AWAY.
The Court Not Likely to See Much {
Him fnr. Soma Tim q To Coma

The Court Not Lixely to See Much of
Him for Some Time to Come.
The Maj T. P. Branch contempt case
cameup in the United States court yester-
day before Judge E Enory Speer. Afilda-
Wits were introduced by Frank H. Miller of
Augusta and Col. George A. Mercer, repre-
senting Maj. Branch, showing that his
physical and mental condition is impaired
to such an extent as to preclude the posi-
bility of his presence at the court.
Judge Speer stated substantially as fol-
lows: "As the case has appeared to the
court up to the present time, Major Branch'S
offense might be analysed by that of the
president or manager Of a railway COM
pany. intrusted with its assets for one pur-
pose, who wonld then sell it out to rival
corporation and pocket the proceeds belong
ing to the receiver of the court upon bill
filed and a judgment passed by the court to
compel him TO do so. While it appears that
Mr. Branch is sick now, it is not the pur-
pose Of the court to remove from him the
legal pressure which may compel him TO
obey its order. The demand against him
does not appear to be simply a debt; it ap-
pears that ne is In possession of an asset of
q corporation, viz, the proceeds Of the sale
of its property, which he has been directed
by the court to pay over to its receiver, and
which he refuses TO do. While this is the
appearance of tue case now, it is not the
purpose Of the court to treat Maj. Branch
with any inhumanity, and in view of the
atfidavits as to his condition, the cause is
continued for two weeks"
The case has become a notable one. Maj.
Branch has had several hearings, and the
order calling on him to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt was
passed in his presence, in open court, at
Macon, and after elaborate argument had
been made by his counsel, Messrs. Frank
a. Miller, Col George A. Mercer and ex-
| Gov, Magrath OF South Carolina. AT that
time the court, after stating that the duty
was an exceedingly painful one, was ap-
parently about to pass an order to the
United States marshal to take
Maj. Branch into custody, when,
upon the earnest application Of
his counsel and Maj. Branch himself, pledg-
ing, in open court, their personal assurances
that he would be present on the hearing on
March 20, the matter was postponed
Since then Maj Branch has not
! been before the court at either one Of the
three assignments Of the case.
The affidavits submitted yesterday tended
to show that Maj. Branch is not only phys
| ically i'll, but that his mental condition is
such as to warrant the gravest apprehen-
sion
