INTERESTING READING MAT TER ON FOURTH PAGE. The State Senate will to-day con sider the question of the Buncombe Stock Law. One of the newest and best things1 we have evof seen on the Asheville market is the peach cider at Sam Weldon', Try it. The public discussion at Leices ter will be on the 19th instead of the 16th, as inadvertently stated by us. Asheville Chanter R. A. M. No. 25, will hold its regular convocation Wednes day night. Also degrees will be conferr ed. A fufl attendance is desired. The Board of County Commission ers was in session yesterday, out did but lietle more than the trans action of routine business. A general change of scheduler, we are informed, will soon take place on the V N. C. Road. When the change is made it will probably include double dailies from over the .kast lennessee system. "Big Tom Wilson" was in town yester day, although the weather was quite stood. Mr. Davis, onr Asheville artist, wiu return home with, nun for the pur pose of spending a few days in the mountain fastnesses. Rev. Dr. Nelson, the new pastor of the first .baptist church, preached to a crowded house oa Sunday night. - Both the earnestness and eloquence of Dr. Nelson will serve to draw him etxxl audiences at an umea. Gen. Johnstone Jones left for Raleigh yesterday to tttend a Military Convene tion to be held there to-day. The con vention will take into consideration cer tain questions relating to the military that are to be considered by the present session of the General Assembly. We invite special attention to the advertisement elsewhere of Messrs. Straith &. Thomson, who have open ed a splendid grocery and provision store cn the West end of Patton Avenue, opposite Buttrick's old shop. In West Virginia there is nothing re quired to enable a man to escape all jury duty, except a mere request to have his naire placed on the jury list. The law provides : "But the name of no person shall be put on such list who may have requested the Court, or any member thereof, by himself or another person to have bis name placed on such list." The J. M. Jones' property on Patton Avenue, embracing the hotel and other buildings at the corner of Depot street, was sold at puDlic auction yesterday for $2,000, subject to the life interest of Mrs. J. Al. Jones. Mr. J. M. Campbell was the purchaser. It is Understood that Gov. Scales will find it necessary to at once appoint a successor to the late Judge Ashe,' Associ ate Justice of the Supreme Court, aa that body convened yesterday and it is absolutely necessary that the Court be complete. Amonz the names brought before His Excellency will doubtless be those of Judges Avery and Montgomery, Mr. Jrvenden or me last, ana uapu m. Carter of Buncombe. Any of the gentle men named, and many others who may b named, wonld nroveacceDtahle to the. people of the West, bat thepeopSe of this Judicial District would be especially pleased to see the last named gentleman appointed. ;. , -. "Nellib Park" Sold, - This beautiful piece of land, located on the South side of Patton Avenue, has been bought within the last few. days by Capt. J. E. Ray for f 12,000, and aa it embraces four acres more or less, we con sider it cheap at that. Since the war, and a portion of it within ten years, this property was bought for something like i,uuu; it was boici auoui iiiree years ago for a little over $6,000, and has cow brought 112,000.

On Sunday afternoon a Second Baptist Church was organized in this place at the church building on Bailey street adjoining the Buncombe Warehouse. The Revs. G. S Jones and Joseph E. Car ter, of Hendersonville, and J. L. Carroll, of Asheville, constituted the Presbytery on the occasion. The result of the organization was the selection of Dr Car roll as Pastor and Messrs T. J. Hargan and B. F. Drummond as Deacons, with T. S. Rector as Secretary. At the same time a Sunday School was organized, with Dr. T. J. Hargan as Superintendent and J. L. Ca: roll, J r., as Secretary.

Co lumbia Bailroad The Charlotte Observer -was originally doubtful Thomas as to the intentions of the "three C. road," thinking that it was only intended to make the Carolina Central bny it off. The Observer is now a firm believer in the purposes of this road to go through from Charleston, S. C , to the great west, though it will be some what an irregular line.- It will cross the Carolina Central at Butherfordton, aad the Observer of a few days since, epeak of the road, says : . The road running North from Marion will pass through Cranberry iron district of Mitchell county, and then enter the boundless coal fields -f Virginia and Kentucky. From this northern link Charlotte will be able to procure coal, iron, steel and hard woods in any quan titv.-at-prices -much less than she can obtain them now. - At the same time our enterprising merchants . can establish rew business connections in Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio, and build np a traffic that will y ield large profits to all who participate in iu Aituougn tneroaa is intended to be a through line from the Ohio Valley to Charleston harbor, itdoes not neeessartiy fciiow tnat tne latter city will realize the bulk ot its trade, un tne contrary there is reason to believe that Wilmington will be a greater participant than Charleston, and that because of the low price at which coal, iron and fine lumber can De put down at her wharves, that city will -become the most - im portant South Atlantic port below Nor folk. . . - '-. We urge our readers to study this situa tion and the prospects of this new rail road most carefully, for from all we can see or leant about it, the Charleston, Cincinnati and , Chicago Railroad will shortly become one of the most inflaen tial agencies for advancing the industries, weaitn and progress of JNonh Carolina ' Major W.

About one hundred -convicts are employed in filling in the long tres tle at Gash's' Creek; about four miles from Asheville.

'Yesterday morning at jhe usual hour the convict force, was ordered out-of their barracks ; about 60 com plied with the order, and about 40 remained bebindall negroes, refus ing to obey the orders ot the guard, threw rooks at the latter and swore they would not go to work. All quiet meitn3 were used to induce the mutineers to . go to work, and these failing, the guard was ordered to fire upon them, and this they did, but intentionally fired over their heads, hoping to frighten therfl. ' This failed of its' purpose, and only enraged the convicts, they becoming more boisterous, and again threw rocks and brandished their clubs they, had provided themselves with an abundance of missiles of this kind. The guards were then instructed by the managers to load their guns with small shot and to fire into the legs of the convicts. This was done three or four times before a surren der was obtained, when the muli neers came out and went to work, all except some six who ha J received Mounds in their legs, though none were seriously hurt. In the barracks were found a quantity of provisions which had evidently been stowed away for a purposed escape.
