The meeting promises' to be an interesting one. . The Half is Greater Than the "Whole. We are informed that Mr. Rich mond Pearson has ordered a survey of the southern pert of Richmond Park wir.h a view of cutting it into lots of thirty acres each and putting the same on the market. Mr. Pear son had the singular experience last spring ot selling one half of his land around the old depot and of finding that the one-half reserved is now worth more than the entire boundary was worth 12 months ago. He may have a similar ex perience with the Richmond Hilt property. It in certainly very valuable prop erty, and we are sure Mr. Pearson will not hold this property long be fore it will be taken by parties who can appreciate a really line situa tion for an elegant home. We hope to see soon every lot he will stll occupied hy a handsome resilience. The property is worthy of it, in nil respects. Haywood Republicans Appoint Del egates. The Haywood county Republi cans held a convention at Waynes vil'e yesterday to appoint delegates to the State and Congressional con ventions. Solicitor J. M. Moody was chair ni'iii, Henry Ciay Shook, Esq., wse secretary. J. Wiley Shook and J. Pink Ilerren chosen delegates to the Stale convention with instructions to vote for Charlie Price for Gov emor,J. Monroe Moody lor Attorney General, and J. Gillespie Blaine for President. H. Clay Shook and A. Haywood Moore chosen eielegatc-s to the Congressional convention. They were not instructed to vote for Mr. Pritchard, Mr. Ewart, Mr. W. Henry Malone, Mr. Tobe Axley, Col. Lusk, or Hon. A. H. Jones, or Gen. Jake Bowman, or any ether of the shin ing lights of the '"old brigade." The whyness of this thUsness will soon appear, pessibly in the presence of "another Richmond" in the field befoie whom the old guard will bow down and worship. Fool who with yer painted mult? The Station House on Kire. Late Monday night, Capt. Wad dtll and Mr. John Penland, while talking on north con it squar.-, dis covered that a fire was burning in one of the cells of the station house, in which were confined at the time three prisoners, W. R. Earwood, Pink Earwood and a man named Prater. The parties had been lock ed up early in the night for being drunk and disorderly, and as it happened they were not searched before being locked up. The chief and his assistant ran with all speed to the place, and upon opening the cell door discovered a fire, built up on the floor in the middle of the room, and burning finely. Penland rushed down stairs and brought water with which to extinguish the fire, while the chief held guard over the prisoners. Finally the fire was put out, and the prisoners were searched. A bundle of matches and three pocket knive were taken fiom their persons, and they wre then put in the cage. It seems that they had started a fired before, but po liceman Rowan had put it out. Yesterday morning, when tried in the Mayor's court, Prator stated that he had only made up the fire to keep one of the Earwood'a from freezing, and had no idea of setting the station house on fire. His Honor fined him S7.25, and the case will be sent to the grand jury of the In ferior court for investigation. Had the fire burned a little longer, there is no doubt but that serious damage would have been done, for there was no water in the ceP with which to have put out the fire, and the three prisoners would have been badly scorched, to say the least, be fore assistance could have reached them.

NEWTON HEARD PROM In Connection with the GraHam Rob bery More Goods Recovered. Detective Deaver, of this city, yes terday received a letter from the .jhief of police of Newton, convey ing the information that he bed re- covered a considerable quantity of the stolen goodd of Q?E. Graham & Co., of this city. The goods recov ered consist of handkerchiefs, ho siery, jewelry, etc. These goods bad been peddled out among peo ple ia the county, who voluntarily brought them in lo the "Newton ofi The missing box of china is about to "prove tod much for the sagacious chief of the Pinion agency. He hasn't given up all hope of recov ery, however, and maintains that it "will turn up." He told us that if it was returned voluntarily the par ty so returning it would not be prosecuted. All he wants is the china. Tf it was not returned, then every effort would be made to ferret out the thief and his conviction would be certain. Agents of the Pinion agency are steadily at work in Catawba, Rowaa and Lenoir, and every clue is being followed up slowly and surely. When the haul is made several par ties, hitherto unheard of in the crime will have to face the music and the courts. The Newton officer also stated in his letter that the county was flood ed with the stolen goods, and jut so soon as he had gathered in what he knew to be out, a shipment would be made. Handkerchiefs and hosiery seem to have been the chief articles peddled by the part ies, and this cannot be accounted for, except that they were lighter and more convenient to carry. The los3 to Messrs. Graham it Co. will be considerablv more than was at first imagined. How long the stealing had been going on cannot be definitely ascertained, anel the fact that a key h:s been missing for some time, indicates that parties outside of Bost are connected with the affair. Cross anil AVhite Reach Raleigh. As stated in yesterday's Citizes Cross and White reached Raleigh Monday morning. Both appeared to be quite broken up. White that morning cried a good deal. He told friends who visited him that he had not lost his religion. . He was told That his Snutiay-'schbol -elasff had prayed 'for him last Sunday. He seems to he very nearly overcome by his position. Cross spoke rather boldly. He ap pears to have suffered from great mental trouble. He intimated that when he was put on the stand in the regular trial of this case he would make some startling revelations. He said further that some people here were by uo means pleased to see White and himself back in Raleigh. He declared that the bank was broken all to pieces when he went in as its president, and that the people knew it was broken. He said that at the proper time all this would be shown and a great deal more. He declares that everything that he and White said they would prove by the bank's books. Efforts were made this morning to secure bail bonds for both prisoners. Judge Shipp last Saturday night, be fore the Wake Superior' Court ad journed, fixed their bonds at $15,000 each. They were remanded to jail for trial at the July term of the Crim inal Court. Bail was not secured for them only $4,000 could be raised for White and none for Cross, and the plan of securing bail was aban tloned for the present at least. For their families there in great sympathy, but for them very little appears. The prisoners say that while at Greensboro, they debated the question of returning to Raleigh. They also stated that they would have returned to Raleigh even if not arres ted. The statement that they were drunk while in Canada is denied, as the officers who made the arrest, say that they did not look like men who had been drinking heavily. ' Chief-of Police Heartt and Special Officer Rogers say that they had no trouble in bringing Cross and White from Canada; They were not hand-cuffed and gave no more trouble than two children would have done. The prisoners made the compromise themselves by agreeing to come here and save the trouble of delay of go ing through the forms of extradition. It is precisely as if they were extradi ted, however, as of course they could have been for the forgery. Monday afternoon both men were in worse mental condition than they were in the morning, and both cried. No re porters were admitted to the jail. It was stated that the prisoners would not say anything until the trial in Julv. Carmlehael'B Choice Colocrne, Fragrant and lasting, put np in quarts, pints and half-pints, manufactured only by - W.

Holby and Slagle went up French Broad river gunning for wild duck, numbers of which are said to have made their appearance on our waters recently. About the mouth of the Swannanoa a largn, fine-looking bird, about the size of a gooss, attracted attention and a shot, whereupon it suddenly sought comfort and piotection be neath the silvery waves It arose on the oppo ite shore, and was soon followed by the party and other shots. Dive3 011 the part of the bird,. and shots on -the part of the gunners followed the course of slrea'm ' and 'each oth er in quick succession, until a uoint just above Pearson's bridge was reached, when a well di rected or more effective shot brought down the gallant bird, and ended his life. He was brought into the city and attracted much attention. Some said it v;:s a Loon ; others a Brant, and others, they didn't know what ; but all agreed it was a very beautiful bird. It had a large black head, finely speckled back, white breast, small dark wings, and legs on its back. It i.- evidently a stran ger in a strange land, and "they took him in."

New Goods are coming in daily, and our stock is now almost complete in every line of goods we handle. We opened to-day a line of Men's Patent Leather Shoes in Congress and Bals. at 82.!iS per pair, worth 1, stylish and well made. Our stock of Chil dren's School Shoes is probably lar ger than that of any other store in the city not confined exclusively to Shoes, all gradds and prices. Our SI School Shoe is splendid value. Bar red Muslin at G.Jc. worth 9, a piece of cream and one of pink at 12Ac. cheap at 18c. ; a beautiful line of Satines in short lengths, to 10 yards in a piece at the astonishingly low price of 10c. per yard, worth 18c. We have our third supply of Standard Novels at 12c. per volume, regular 25c. books. The handsomest lamp for SI. 08 we ever saw under $2.50; a glass fruit stand, very lar ye for SI, only 4 left, but more ordered, extremely cheap. Beautiful Glass Pitchers for 72c. The same has been sold in Asheville for S2. A large-line of Glassware atless than auction prices. Our curtain goods, Table Damask, Napkins and Doylies cannot be beaten in price or quality. To Hoiisekeep?r3 we say, do not fix up your homes for the Spring and Summer until you learn our prices on all kinds of using things, for dining room, kitchen, bed room and parlor. We guarantee prices to be lower than anywhere else in the city. Our goods are bought in immense quantities by a concern able to put 10,000 dollars in Straw Hats alone at one purchase. These are sent out to the different, ' Racket Stores" con nected with No. 4f.G Broadway, and to no OTHEiis. We put thcui into the hands of the consumer in many cases (as we shall a part of these Straw Hats as soon as they come) at prices lower than o'.her merchants pay for them. There is uo mystery about it ; it is perfectly simple the power of ample capital to buy from the auc tions in large lots, and the Agencies established in large towns to distrib ute the goods among the people at a close profit. Nothing sold at cost no credit, spot cash, no bad accounts, goods bought for dollars down and sold the same way. Any other mer chant in Asheville will tell you that this is the only correct way to buy and sell goods if he will lay aside his prejudice. Come and see the goods and learn the prices. Do you good and save you money. Very respectfully, ifcc, GEO. T. JONES fe CO. N. Y. office, 4C6 Broadway.

About seven years ago we came to Asheville and engaged in the Grocerv Trade iu a small way, believing that by strict attention to business, BUYING the BEST GOODS for CASH and selling at a FJIMMt PROFIT, and by honorable and upright dealing, that we could succeed in establishing a business here. It is very gratifying to us at this date to be able to state that our expectations have been more than realized, and it is with no manner of boasting, but with thankful gratification that we to-day claim to have the largest Grocery Trade in Western Jmorth Car olina, and one of the largest in the State. One result of the increased business is that we have been able each year, to buy our goods at closer figures, until to day we find ourselves buying a targe proportion 01 our goous deliver' d in Asheville at same prices paid bv jobbers in the large cities.
