After a Search or Five Years the Young; Man is Found in Ashe ville An " Interesting Story. By the merest possible accident, Charles Rudolph, of Philadelphia, the heir to thirty-nine' thousand dollars was found : in ..Ash. i)le, in front of the Grand Centra hotel, last Thursday, by a gentleman who, in carrying out the dying wish of a friend, has spent five years in fruit less search for a wayward young man. The story r.-::ds like a ro mance, but Init! it is, every word. Mr. John Krider is the gentleman who has been seaiehing for Rudolph and has spent many sleepless nignta and made many efiorts to find the voting mat', and a Citizen reporter found him at -Mr. J. B. Harring1 ton's. No. 19! Haywoo ' street last evening. Afttr an introduction, Mr. Krider told the reporter that he was a neighbor of the Rudolphs, who lived on Race street, Philadel phia, some thirteen years ago. Ruj do oh and his sifter Lucy, were toe only children in the family. Ru dolph's niother tiKniicd the second time, and his step-lather was so brutal and cruel Mint young Ru- dolih ran awi'.y, whither no one knew. Time passed on, still no news ever came ol the young man or his whereabouts. Finally 1 is sister married, and the result of this marriage was the biith of a son. The old mothtr had died sometime before this marriage, and shoitly alter the birth of the child the father died. The child livtd for some time, but finally, it too passed away leaving the sister a wid owed mother. It seems that before young Rudolph ran away he was engaged in the huckster busi ness aiound the city. Web, time rolled on, and s ill no news came of the runaway. Then his sister met with reverses in financial affairs, but she was plucky and soen re gained what she had lost. She dealt in oil stocks and was success fa? to a decree. Then she took sick and sent for Mr. Krider to come to see her, and upon her dying bed exacted a promise from him that he would find the young man. Mr. Krider searched hib and low, and at one time thought that he had discovered him in the person of a bureau of information agent at Port Jervis, New York The newspapers were used and advertisements were inserted in San Francisco, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Denison (Ohio) pa pers, besides others. Mr. Krider then went back to Philadelphia, and inquired of the baggage-master at the Pennsylvania elepot if he had evt r checked any baggage for a man nrswering the description of Ru dolph. He said he had checked such baggage to Knoxyille, Tenn., and was so positive about it that Mr. Krider started to Knoxville, but stopped over here. The rest ts soon told, loung liuuolph had come to Asheville with a couple of friends. Mr. Krider asked railroad agent if he had seen man answering de scription; agent had seen such a man in company with two others get off Knoxville train: followed him up; saw him lront of postoffice; in front o! Grand Central met him; identity was disclosed; bond fixed; papers delivered over to Rudolph; he left for Philadelphia; Mr. Krider at Mr. Harrington's; everyone happy; and the curtain falls upon the second act in a life's drama.

Real His AVife With a Chair. Albert Simpson is a culoreel citi zen who lives near the First Colored Baptist Churca at the foot ot Beau mont. Albert is married, and some times makes things very unpleasant and unhealthy tor his spouse. This was the case on Saturday night, and the mean whiskey that he had swal lowed during the evening got in its work about ten o'clock. At that hour he went home and began throwing house furnishing goods around in hefty style. His wife re monstrated against such riotous proceedings, when Albert seized a chair and began to flog his help meet in an unmerciful manner. The police were sent for, and. the wife beater was brought tc the lockup, where he remained in the cage un til yeslerdav- morning at ten o'clock, when he had a trial before Justice Malone. The evidence adduced upon the examination justified tbe magistrate to fine him ten dollars and costs. Albert could not respond to the "call," so he was sent to the county jail for twenty days, or until the money is paid. His wife was bruised up very badly, though no fatal injury was inflicted.

When Detective Deaver purchased a ticket for Old Fort, Friday event ing, a Citizen representative who was standing by, knew that somen thing had gone wrong. Persistent inquiry failed to elicit any informa tion from the Pinion chief, however, and the reporter sought "green fields anel pastures new," so to speak, knowing full we'.l that the proverbial cat would be permitted to emigrate from the sack upon the chief's return, if return he did. Wtiile all this was transpiring in Asheville, a considerable quantity of deviltry was transpiring at Old Fort, and Henry Williarr?, (col.,) with a half-dozen aliases, was the engineer in charge of the work. It seems that Williams who is known in police circles in this citv as "Nighthawk,' had stolen two va lses, two overcoats, and other wear ing apparel belonging to Conductor H. C. Irott and his flagman, on the west bound freight train caboose ot the W N. C. Road Williams skipped out and was exceedingly scarce and hard to find. Hence Deaver bought the ticket. Hence he went on tne train, hi- day evening, and hence he returned Sunday evening looking like a Mex ican ''greaser, with a satchel on his shoulder, and a smile em his face that reseni bled a coil ot rope in a ship-chandler's store. We asked him the cause ot this unseemly mirth upon this sacred day" and he stated that "Nighthawk." had been corraled, and was now enjoy ing undisturbed repose in McDowell county iail. He stated that he had captured "Nighthawk" two miles this side ot Henry s arrayed in the nabihments ot Conductor lrott. Williams was cutting quite a swell, and had no idea that the detective sleuth-hound of Asheville was on his trail. But he was, and when the officer took him before the MarioL- magistrate, that official promptly and unreservedly committed him to jail in default of a five hundred dol lar bond, to await trial at the next term of McDowell Superior Court. illiams is reputed to be in po lice parlance a "tough," and has given the officers of the law no little trouble. l'p With the Times. In this fast age he who does not keep pace with tne improvements going on every day, to use a common expression "gets left. Not so with the furniture House of vv. a. Williamson & Co. Mr. Doe the manager like the sailor who keeps his sails trimmed to catch every Duffof wind to drive him onward in his course, keeps himself fully posted, and on the look out for any thing new or desirable in his special line. One of the largest manufactories has just thrown upon the market a novelty in household goods in tne nigniy nnisn ed and most beautiful Walnut Suits, some of which this Asheville House have on sale. New in design, complete in workmanship, they may truly be pron ounced Miii'yiu'. The veneering used on these suits is sawed irom me root ot ine French walnut.nothingequalsthecurious, queer and intricato curls iu the wood, each piece a study in itself. The Bureau or Ctiefonier, is of unusual width (5 leet) contains every drawer and r ceptical necessary. The mirror of the heaviest and clearest French plate glass, ji inches thick, almost defies damage, is circular in shape and 3 feet across. This glass and the circular veneering on the head piece of each Bedstead, cost the manufactory as much as ordinary, suits are worth. The marble used on these suits is of the first quality Tennessee, takinor polish almost equal to a mirror. Another novelty this house has on, ale is the ,vire Screen doors, in sises to suit all doors and can be attached on. the in side without interfering with the outer.
