The vacant property on theSouth east corner of Front and Red Cross streets, one of the sites made vacant by the disastrous fire of February, 1886, was purchased yesterday by Mr. J. G. L. Gieschen. Mr. Isaac Shrier has purchased the property on the corner of Front and Mulberry streets now occupied by Mr. J. W. Taylor as a livery stable. It is 32x100 feet. It will be constructed into two handsome stables. Board of Industry. An adjourned meeting of the Board of Industry was held last night, on which occasion the bill which has been prepared to be sub nutted to the Legislature was read. It is too lengthy for our columns. It appoints a comuiittee and ap propriates $150,000 from the city treasury the aid of manufactures The bill is to be submitted to the people at the city election in March We will have more to sav about it when it passes the legislature.

' j to-day foot up 145 bales. Personal. Senator Chace, of Rhode Island, arrived in the city last night for a visit of a day. Mayor Fowler returned to tire city last night from a short visit to Goldsboto. Capt. J. W. Fry, General Super intendent of the (Jape Fear & Yad" ikin Valley R. R., was in the city ; yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. Pulliam re j turned to the city last night from their visit to Northern points of interest. For some days past they ihave b?en in Richmond, where they ! 1 f L A. were the recipients of many courte sies and attentions at the hands of their friends and relatives. A Monnter Bivalve. Mr. J. (t. L. (Tieschen opened at the Acme Saloon last evening what was probably the largest oyster ever seen here. The shell measured 8 inches in length and the oyster, when it was shucked, was 6 inches long and 3 inches broad just the size of a lady's hand. It was awarded Jo one of our Market street mer chants, who was present at the time and who, famous oyster eater as he is, was compelled to make two bites at it. It was, of course, a New River oyster but we did not learn whose farm it came from. A Model Refrigerator. Messrs. " S. B. Northrop & Co., dealers in the fish market, have in troduced into their business a large patent refrigerator which is one of the most complete things of the kind we have ev.er seen. It is ar ranged so that the interior is kept at any temperature desired by pipes passing through it, which are cool od by contact with ice, stored in a separate department. Neither ice nor waaer nor pipes touches the fish. Mr. Northrop says that he has frozen fish so hard there that they have broken when struck with, a stick. The refrigerator is also used as a cold house for meats. The Beautiful Snow. There was a little snow here this mornincr. about 8 o'clock, and at 11 rj, it came down for a few minutes in heavy flakes. It amounted to noth- insr. however, as not enoucrh of it fell to make an appearance on the ground or the house tops. It was succeeded bv a fine rain. The indi cations for to-day say nothing of snow, but promised rain and warm er weather. At 2 o'clock it began to snow again and at this writintr, 3 p. m., it is falling fast. The flakes are the lanrest we ever saw. Some are as large as a silver dollar. But the ground was wet and not frozen, and it melts almost as fast as it falls. The Anniversary Ball. The anniversary ball of Howard Relief Fire Engine Co. No. 1, given last night at their hall, was the most delightful and successful of the many given there by this gallant company. The hall was crowded and the dancing, which was begun a little after 9 o'clock, was kept up until morning, the only intermission being at 12 o'clock, when an elegant collation was announced. The Ital ian harpers furnished the music and it was 5:30 o clock this morning when the signal was given and the delightful strains of "Home, Sweet Home," warned the happy dancers that the hour had come to part.- Last night will not soon be forgetten by those who were so fortunate as to be present at Adrian Hall on that occasion. Proposed Truck-Growers' Covention. The truck growers in and around Clinton have organized a "Truck Growers Association" and they pro pose that a convention of truckers be held at Clinton on the 6th and 7th of April to concert measures for the benefit of producers. They oN 1 fer to secure reduced railroad rates J and to entertain free of charge : delegates from sub-associations. Jonah felt well protected from cold when he was well housed in j the whale, bat he could have navi- j sratetl the open sea on his back if he had owned a bottle of Dr. Bull's Coagh Syrup. No Hope ol Recovery. We are sorrv to hear that there is m improvement in the condition at ! of Rev. Dr. Bobbitt. He is still Mrs. Leak's house in Rockingham, j and will probably never be removed thence in life. His condition is con sidered very desperate, the physi cians, we understand, expressing the opinion that there are no hopes of his recovery. Dr. Bobbitfs death will be mourned all over the State of North Carolina, for wherever he is known he is deeply loved and ad mired. A Catastrophe. A family living in the Southern section of the city were quite alarm ed last night by a horrifying scream from one of the daughters in a room adjoining that in which her parentg slept. The effect of the scream was so intense that in a moment the whole house was up in arms, and ready for any emergency. Before retiring the young ladies had occasion to open the big trunk that sat near the bed, close to the wall, and neglected to close it; so about midnight the old Tom cat, in pursuit of his prey, sprang between the trunk lid arid the wall, which banged down the old trunk lid with a jar equal to a young earthquake, which awoke the young misses in a terrible fright, one of them giving vent to her horror by screaming to the utmost of her capacity and elec trifying the elastic springs of every bed in the house. The father,spring iug to the floor, caught up his old duck exterminator and yelled, "Shoot him!' Shoot him!" Then ap peared the son on the scene, swing ins an trusty sword with which his great grandfather, a century ago, defended American soil. The victim was the cat. Sunday School Convention. In Grace M. E. Church to-night the New Hanover County Sunday School Association will convene to effect permanent organization. All officers, teachers and adult Sunday scholars of the schools of this coun ty are members of the Association. An address of welcome will be de livered by Rev. W. S. Creasy and be responded to by Rev. Wm. McC. Miller. Organization will follow and then an address from Rev. F. D. Swindell on the "Importance of the Sunday School Work."' A selected choir will furnish music for the occasion and the exercises will be not only instructive in a high degree, but also very enjoyable. The programme for to morrow will be as follows: At 10:30 a. m. devotional exercises, conducted by the Rev. P. H. Hoge. Reports of Sunday school superintendents, giving statistics, etc., after which there will be open discussion, led by Revs. R. C. Beaman and J. W. Primrose. In the afternoon and evening meetings there will be discussions relative to Sunday school work In its various fprms by members of the various churches, an election of delegates to the State Convention, followed by miscellaneous exercises, closing with the Doxology. 4 THE MAILS.

Rock Crystal Spectacles and Eyeglases Advice to old and young: In se lecting spectacles you should be cau tious not to take more magnifying voiver than has been lost to the eve as in the same proportion that you pass that point of increase, will cause you further injury to the eye. Using glasses of stronger power than is ne cessary is the daily cause of prema ture old age to the sight. You can get the best at Heinsberger's. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. Resolutions by the Y. M. c. A.upon the death of Mr. Robert Primrose. In view of the solemn and painful fact that the "Young Men's Christian Association" has lost, by the death of Air. Robert Primrose, a promising and exemplary member, and our city a young man in the bloom of youthful vigor and manhood, we have thought it prop er to express to the bereaved family our deep and warm sympathy, and also make public mention of the sense of our own loss in his untimely death. This is the first time our As sociation has been called to mourn a deoarted member, and deeply have the lessons of his deatn oeen impressed upon us; warning us of tne uncertainty 01 me: oiaains: us prepare like him, to meet our chansre: and for all of us to prepare at all times to submit to the will of Goa in us ana tnose we love. May our Heav enly Father teach us thus by his death, as by ins me ue tausrnt us lessons or love and duty, And nowwhilo we sorrow with those near est and dearest to him, yet we "sorrow not as those who have no hope,' for Christ our Lord has said, am the resurrection and the life and we know that "because He llveth we shall live also.:' and when He cometh. then, "them also which sleep In Jesus will God bring with mm." "wneretore we comfort one another with these words. W. M. CUMMING, F. L. HUGGINS, P. B. MANNING. Committee, Wilmington, N, C, Feb. 19, '89. NEW AOVERC ISEJ1ENTS.
